Lil Nas X (Emotional Generator) just released his first single, J Christ, from his upcoming album, so it’s a great time to update his Human Design chart reading.

📺️ If you rather watch the video version of this post, click this link.

📌 Note from the original post: I thought Nas X’s birth time was 12:30, so I edited this post for accuracy. His birth time isn’t publicly listed, but his chart doesn’t change too much (unlike Nicki Minaj’s chart) throughout the day.

To rectify his birth time, I started at 12:00 and ran his chart for major changes:

• 00:16: 4/1 Emotional Generator JX of Shock (51/57 | 61/62)

• 12:00: 5/1 Emotional Generator LAX of the Clarion (51/57 | 61/62)

• 14:08: 5/1 Emotional Generator LAX of the Clarion (51/57 | 61/62)

• 20:08: 5/2 Emotional Generator LAX of the Clarion (51/57 | 61/62)

Here are the commonalities I’m working with:

✅ Generator type
✅ Emotional authority - with channel of synthesis
✅ (51/57 | 61/62) - from his incarnation cross
🏖️ Artificial Shores Environment

All images below are based on the 12:00 time of birth. The reading itself is based on where his chart stays consistent.

Nas X is an Emotional Generator

Generators have an enveloping aura, constantly pulling in stimuli so the sacral can respond to it.

Think of a million arms reaching out, pulling in, and dumping messages onto the sacral.

Then, the sacral center gives a yes/no response through grunts, thumps, and other methods reminiscent of how toddlers communicate.

✅ Generator type.

Now we add the emotional authority with the Generator type.

Emotional Generators deal with two types of responses:

• Sacral response, as a part of their aura and strategy.

• Emotional response, as a response to the sacral stimuli.

Simplified, emotional Generators rely on their sacral response for day-to-day situations, such as what to wear or what to have for lunch.

For the decisions that require deeper contemplation, the emotional authority takes over. This is called riding the wave. The specifics of the wave can be found in how the emotional center is defined.

Lil Nas X’s emotional authority travels from the channel of synthesis (19-49).

To understand the channel of synthesis, think of a pot of water ready to be boiled.

• You fill a pot with water and set it on the stove.

• You turn the heat on.

• Tiny bubbles form at the bottom.

• Tiny bubbles begin to push themselves upwards.

• Bubbles get bigger.

• Bubbles are so big they pop.

• Water taken off the stove.

That’s what the channel of synthesis’s wave feels like.

Here’s a visual 👇🏼

When the “pop” happens, answers come.

Then the pot of water goes back on the stove for the next time it needs to boil.

This channel starts out quiet and then raises its intensity. Those with the channel of synthesis are sensitive to touch and are particular about who gets to touch them. This emotional wave can pop when they receive physical touch.

Despite Nas X being a Generator, the channel of synthesis is a projected channel, meaning it needs recognition and an invitation to come forward. But he’ll get frustrated and quickly burn out when he feels he’s being used.

He sings about wanting to be wanted and needed in his song THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

That’s peak channel of synthesis energy.

'Cause it don't feel right when it's late at night
And it's just me in my dreams
So I want someone to love, that's what I fucking want

- THAT’S WHAT I WANT, Lil Nas X

Cross of Clarion OR Cross of Shock (51/57 | 61/62) Quarter 1

We don’t know what his incarnation cross is, which means we don’t know his profile either.

That’s fine. We have other stuff to work with related to his incarnation cross (aka his life’s purpose).

First, the (51/57 | 61/62) behind his potential incarnation crosses matter. These don’t change.

It tells us Nas X was born in Quarter 1.

Quarter 1 babies are initiators. I also see them as the rebirth through the lens of Christian lore because life isn’t a straight shot; it’s a cycle.

Rebirth and initiation can’t happen without leaving something behind, often in a past life— take this literally or not.

Anyway, I was screaming at YouTube when Nas X came out with the music video for Montero, as he embodied the falls from heaven into hell.

Reborn.

If you watched his video for J CHRIST, the whole video is similar to CALL ME BY YOUR NAME.

But I interpreted the video J CHRIST (gif below) as closure and an introduction to the person he’s become since MONTERO’s release (prior album), especially his relationship to Christian faith.

The (51/57 | 61/62) begins with gate 51. For the sake of brevity, I’ll be focusing on gate 51 for this part of the reading.

Here’s my simplified version of gate 51 (shock):

• Boldness inspires and provokes positive action.

• Balances shock tactics with empathy.

• Elicits constructive reactions and insights.

Nas X’s brand has been controversial due to shock value and gimmicks.

But looking at his chart, he is the embodiment of shock.

Side note on incarnation crosses:

• People born with a juxtaposition cross are designed for balanced learning from others and teaching others.

• People born with a left angle cross are designed as guides, people who edit and dissolve situations and karma for others.

• People born with a right angle cross (which Nas X does NOT have a variation of) are designed to work on themselves.

Nas X’s potential incarnation crosses are about shocking other people.

However, the big difference between him having the Left Angle Cross of Clarion is that clarion translates shock for other people.

The Juxtaposition Cross of Shock is the essence of shock.

He isn’t here to understand how he is a shocking person. He incarnated to trigger shock in others.

When I do chart readings, whether they are celebrity charts or for private clients, I have to look at the chart before I look at the person.

If I saw his charts with no context, I would say that this person is perceived as abrasive and evokes a visceral reaction from those around them. With the “popping” emotional wave, the shock comes on suddenly like a burst.

Now layer Nas X’s public brand over the raw chart, and you get a picture of his self-expression.

Personal thoughts as a reader

I really don’t think he set out to use shock factor as his brand.

Human Design is automatic.

Regardless of whether someone knows their design or even knows Human Design exists, they are always living in a form of expressing their charts.

So when I watch him express himself through his art, I know there’s something in his core, in his life’s purpose, that channels shock.

I’m also inclined to believe that his incarnation cross is the clarion, and he has a ‘5’ in his profile.

People with 5’s in their profile are controversial characters, constantly projected upon. You’ll love him one day and condemn him the next.

• Old Town Road controversy

• Being the first and only artist to come out as gay while holding a number one record.

• Publicly sharing his complicated relationship with Christianity.

Channel of Synthesis (19-49)

The channel of synthesis is a mystical channel that takes in the essence of other people through touch.

Once he gets skin-to-skin, he knows who they are. He can feel it. The bubbles pop, and information flows.

People with this channel are the people who will fight for you or fight to have you.

'Cause it don't feel right when it's late at night
And it's just me in my dreams
So I want someone to love, that's what I fucking want
- WHAT I WANT I WANT, Lil Nas X

Despite Nas X being a Generator, the channel of synthesis is a projected channel, meaning it needs recognition and an invitation to come forward.

Anyone who reacts to his music has invited his energy in.

Even if they don’t like it.

Nas X’s Environment: Shores (Artificial)

The final commonality in his chart is his Environment, Shores (Artificial).

Here’s what Artificial Shores means:

Artificial Shores connect with man-made transitional spaces. This includes urban parks that act as a boundary within a city or areas that represent a transition between different urban elements. This can look like driving from one town to the next or one state to the next. Road trips and or van-living can be beneficial for Artificial Shores.
- Human Design on Steroids by Fiona Wong

Man-made transitional spaces.

Human Design’s Environments are both literal and figurative. His “home” isn’t one place. It’s where he can move from one to another, crossing the boundaries of man-made spaces.

Including MAN-MADE gender and gender roles. Sin and holiness are man’s perceptions and judgments of another.

Artificial Shores Exhibit A:

Artificial Shores Exhibit B (JUST WATCH THE WHOLE OLD TOWN ROAD VIDEO) the transitions are insane and my gifs don’t do it justice:

Recap:

😨 Gate 51: translates the element of shock as part of his life’s purpose.

🏇🏾 Shores (Artificial): transitions between man-made spaces

Even though we don’t have Nas X’s exact date of birth, we can work with his strategy and authority as the basis for his Human Design.

Nas X is a person who lives between worlds and walks between ideologies. The key to his success is doing his thing without taming the shock factor in his work.

When someone resists their Human Design, the design finds another way to be expressed.

A Generator who forces themselves to do something that doesn’t have a sacral yes will experience “locked” sacral flow. The gas station is out of order.

In Nas X’s case, his shock factor can manifest in different ways. It doesn’t have to be an extravagant music video, but it can be.

It can be a single tweet.

That aside, it’s the fact that he’s alive and he exists. He doesn’t need to say a word.

Human Design charts don’t look the way they do before birth and after death.

His life is the only thing allowing the chart to mean something.

And he means something to the communities he represents.
