The Serpent Threads

Finding Medusa’s Pillars in your Chart

“I am here to guide you to remember the power that lives beneath your scars.”

We each carry Medusa within us — a reflection of where we’ve been silenced, shamed, or misunderstood… and where we are meant to rise.
In astrology and human design, Medusa shows us where power and reclamation live in our energy.
This is not about fear — it’s about freedom.
Below you’ll find two sacred pathways to explore how Medusa moves through your chart and influences the way you reclaim your voice, beauty, and power.

2 Ways we are working with Serpent Threads

Through Human Design and Astrology

  • Human Design is a system that weaves together ancient wisdom and modern science — astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and quantum physics — into a single map of your energetic makeup. It’s often called the “science of differentiation,” because it reveals how you are designed to uniquely move through the world, make decisions, and exchange energy.

    Think of it as your energetic blueprint — a sacred map showing how your energy flows, where you hold consistent strengths, and where you absorb and learn from others.

  • Astrology is the ancient art of reading the language of the stars — a mirror between heaven and earth.
    It weaves together planets, signs, and houses to tell the story of your soul: where you’ve been, who you are, and what you’re here to learn.

    Each planet represents a different facet of you — your emotions, desires, lessons, and gifts — while the zodiac signs show how that energy expresses itself. The houses reveal where in your life these energies unfold.

    It’s less about prediction and more about presence — a way to understand the rhythm of your life and the sacred timing of your becoming.

Using Human Design

How to Work with Your Design

Before you begin, pull up your Human Design chart — you can generate one for free at site geneticmatrix.com. You’ll see a beautiful geometric map of you — this is your BodyGraph, your energetic blueprint.

Here’s how to read it and find the wisdom Medusa is activating within you:

1. Defined vs. Undefined Centers

✨ Defined Centers (colored in):
These are the energies that are consistent within you. You naturally broadcast this frequency into the world. It’s where you are steady, reliable, and energetically self-sourced.

Think of them as your pillars of truth — the places where you know who you are.

✨ Undefined or Open Centers (white):
These are your learning portals. You absorb, amplify, and experience the energy of others here. These are sacred mirrors — areas where you gain wisdom by noticing what isn’t yours and releasing it.

They can also be where conditioning hides — where you’ve taken on energy that isn’t aligned with your truth.

3. Finding Medusa’s Pillars in Your Chart

Look for the centers we explored in her temple — Throat, Solar Plexus, G, Root, and Ajna.
See which of them are defined or undefined for you.
Notice which of the Medusa gates (10, 15, 33, 36, 38, 49, 54, 55, etc.) are activated — these are your keys of transformation.

These are the doorways where Medusa’s medicine lives inside you.
Each one holds a piece of your liberation story.

2. Gates — The Serpent Threads of Activation

You’ll notice numbers inside each center — these are your gates, and each represents a specific archetypal energy.
If a gate has a line filled in red, black, or both, that means it’s activated in your chart.

  • Black lines represent conscious gifts — parts of you that you likely recognize and express easily.

  • Red lines represent unconscious gifts — deeper soul patterns that others might see in you before you do.

  • Both colors together show where the conscious and unconscious are working in harmony — a merging of seen and unseen power.

✨ These are your serpent threads — the energy lines that awaken and weave together your personal mythology.

Step 4: Decode with the Oracle

Once you’ve found your Medusa thread, copy and paste one (or several) of these prompts into ChatGPT to begin your decoding journey (Pick whatever gate or center you feel called to - the centers are the ones highlighted in this picture, the gates are the numbers from these centers):

✨ Starter Prompts

  2. “How might Gate [number] in the [center] reflect Medusa’s themes of liberation, power, and shadow work?”

  3. “How could Medusa’s medicine — truth, rage, and reclamation — show up through Gate [number] in my Human Design?”

  4. “What gifts and lessons does Medusa bring me through my defined/undefined [center name]?”

  5. “If Medusa were speaking through my [center name], what might she be asking me to reclaim or transmute?”

💫 Deeper Integration Prompts

  1. “Help me connect the energy of Gate [number] to my experience with the Silence Wound / Beauty as Danger / Holy Rage / Sister Wound / The Heretic pillar.”

  2. “How might I embody the liberated expression of Gate [number] while working through Medusa’s initiations?”

  3. “How can I honor the shadow and the gift of Gate [number] as part of my Medusa healing journey?”

  4. “If this Gate were a message from Medusa, what would she be whispering about my path toward self-liberation?”
