Joan Didion's Human Design Chart

Joan Didion, an influential American writer and a screenwriter who wrote the book “The Year of Magical Thinking” and the movie “a star is born”, is a 3/5 Projector with an emotional authority.

A deep thinker, Joan Didion needs and enjoys her alone time so that she can reflect on her experience in detail and with gate 33.3, she is here to share her thoughts and understanding with others when she is done reflecting.

Sensitive to the needs of others and having a need to be needed, Joan likes to cultivate relationships that are built on mutual commitment. She and her husband, John Gregory Dunne, were good friends long before they decided to get married.

With gate 32.3, Joan Didion has a deep fear of failure and because of the fear of failure, she could be seen as controlling by others when it comes to work as she wants to make sure that everything will go well.

With an open G and an open Ajna, Joan Didion has a gift of injecting herself in different characters and an ability to see things from different angles.

As a 3/5, Joan Didion can often feel a sense of expectations from others and as someone who needs to try things out to see what works and what doesn’t work, the expectation could at times put strain on her soul.

“Was it only by dreaming or writing that I could find out what I thought”, said Joan Didion, I love this quote as it pretty much sums up how a person with the gate 64 (and it shows up three times in her chart!) feel most of the time, the feeling of confusion.
