Heart center (Ego)
The Heart (Ego) governs willpower, material worth, and promises. It is a motor center — small, powerful, and undefined in most charts (~40% defined in population teaching).
Defined
Consistent will to prove/commit; themes of worth and bargains. Ego authority (strategy: Heart when Heart connects to Throat) uses honest will — only promises you genuinely intend to keep.
Open / undefined
Not fixed willpower; may over-promise to prove worth; wisdom in not competing on will. Not-self: constantly proving value, making bargains to be loved, or exhausting yourself keeping word to others’ standards.
Rest when open Heart absorbs others’ proving energy. Tribal channels (e.g. 37-40, 25-51) often touch this center when active.
