Are Emotionals & Non-Emotionals a match made in heaven?

In Human Design, approximately 50% of the population are what we call ‘Emotional’ and approximately 50% of the population are ‘Non-Emotional’. What’s interesting is that in every Human Design reading that I have ever done for a romantic couple, one of the people in the relationship is ‘Emotional’ and the other is ‘Non-Emotional’. I am not saying that this happens ALL of the time, but in my experience, I believe that the vast majority of relationships have one Emotional person and one Non-Emotional person.

You can tell if you’re an Emotional by looking at the solar plexus energy centre in your Human Design chart. If it’s coloured in then it means you’re Emotional and if it’s not coloured in then it means you’re Non-Emotional. Emotionals essentially have a constant wave of emotion flowing through them. So naturally, sometimes they are up and sometimes they are down! Emotional waves can vary person to person, with some Emotionals having very subtle emotional waves and others having very dramatic waves, but there will always be a constant flow of emotional energy. Emotional people can wake up in the morning and feel up or down for no reason at all, depending on where they are on the wave.

In contract to this, Non-Emotional people can still obviously feel emotion, but they only feel emotion when they are triggered by something e.g. there will always be a cause to their emotion, whether this is a ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ emotion. This means that generally speaking, Non-Emotionals tend to be more naturally cool, calm and collected and more neutral in their emotion.

For me it is clear that Emotionals and Non-Emotionals need each other. One is not better or worse than the other. The Emotional person provides energy and fire in the relationship. On the flip side, the Non-Emotional provides a calming presence for the Emotional person which can be highly attractive, especially when they are in a low part of their wave. However, because the Non-Emotional has an undefined solar plexus, this means that they actually take in emotion from others through this centre, so they will really be able to pick up on the emotions of their partner and even feel them amplified! This gives them empathic abilities to really pick up on the emotions of those around them. They are often very clued up as to how their partner is feeling emotionally before they open their mouths.

I can certainly attest to this in my relationship as I am Non-Emotional and my partner is Emotional. I have to say that I think if we were both Emotional people that our relationship would probably not work, as there would be way to much fire in the relationship. Equally, I think that if we were both Non-Emotional people that our relationship would be pretty bland, as my ability to feel and tap into his emotions really fuels my energy and allows me to feel more than I would usually and allows me to tap into more of the human spectrum of emotion. Of course I have found it vitally important to put boundaries in place where needed, to make sure I do not take on too much emotion that is not mine to carry through my entirely open solar plexus!
