The root centre is located physically in the body at the base of your pelvic bowl. This centre physically governs your adrenal glands and energetically governs your relationship to getting things into motion, starting things and creating momentum. It also loosely connects to safety, security, stability and a sense of being physically grounded.
Undefined - Since this pressure centre is undefined in your chart you are not someone who is built to thrive or create from pressure. You are here to selectively ride the momentum and pressure waves of others, a project or a situation and then retreat to rest and be. Pressure in our current society may look like time constraints, rushing, deadlines and overcommitment.
An undefined centre in the root will be more likely to identify with the value and worth others put on sticking to strict timelines and creating from a rushed or busy place. These are values which have been maintained within our society and communities - however, it is important for you to become aware of this external conditioning to not conform to this way of interacting with momentum. An undefined root centre can be prone to burn out if they put too much pressure on themselves or receive it from others - this can present through adrenal burnout, tiredness and general unwellness.
The lesson for an undefined root centre is to really feel into how they would like to start something or bring momentum to an idea. Deciding on loose or flexible timelines and not putting pressure on themselves on when and how something will look will be beneficial for them. An awareness about any perceived pressure will also help them selectively choose when to use it as a motivator and when to step out of this way of functioning and use the gifts of rest and openness instead.
Defined - Since this pressure centre is defined in your chart you are someone who is built to thrive or create from pressure. You are designed to be able to transmute pressure into a motivator and initiator in your life. Pressure in our current society may look like deadlines, thriving under time constraints or utilising an upcoming event or deadline as the motivator to get into action. As someone with a defined centre you may be less sensitive to the pressures of others and the external world or more confident and capable of handling stressful situations which may send other’s into overwhelm.
A defined centre in the root brings a deep sense of trust in life and the forces at play around you. It also brings an ease in grounding and centering and acting in the external world from this place of security and strength - particularly when faced with external pressures. This sense of groundedness allows what might be an energetically incorrect pressure for someone else to be turned into golden momentum for you. You have the innate ability to get projects started and motivate others to start their own projects - you have a natural kickstarter energy. It may also be energetically correct for you to work with timelines, to do lists and more traditional project planning tools as these external measures, when used in service of something aligned for you channel, your energetic momentum.
The lesson for a defined root centre is to utilise pressures, feelings of restlessness, and ambition and turn them towards the things that are most aligned with the remainder of your design and your deepest desires and passions. The direction of this energy is vital as a misdirection can cause this pressure centre to send you down the road of adrenal burnout and overwhelm.
