About This Center

Understanding the Solar Plexus Center

The Solar Plexus is the emotional center — and the most powerful motor and awareness center in the bodygraph. It generates the emotional wave that moves between hope and pain, pleasure and fear. Roughly 50% of the world population has this center defined, making it the dominant authority for humanity.

Defined vs. Undefined

How the Solar Plexus Center Expresses

Whether this center is colored in (defined) or white (undefined/open) in your chart fundamentally changes how you experience its energy.

Defined Solar Plexus Center

When the Solar Plexus is defined, you are an emotional being. You experience life through an emotional wave — there is never clarity in the moment. Your strategy requires waiting through your emotional wave before making decisions. Over time, you gain emotional clarity. Your emotions are your own, and they impact everyone around you.

Undefined Solar Plexus Center

When the Solar Plexus is undefined, you are not an emotional being in the chemical sense. However, you absorb and amplify the emotions of those around you. The wisdom of the open Solar Plexus is the potential to become deeply wise about emotions. The not-self trap is avoiding confrontation and truth to keep the emotional peace.
