My Spinning Arrow
Emily Vickery
I'm Emily, creator of My Spinning Arrow. I currently work in an office-based admin role for a toy company, and I created My Spinning Arrow as an outlet for self-expression and as a place where I could share my interests and my journey towards a healthier, happier version of myself. I currently live in suburban London with my mother and two lurchers.
Human Design
For those that know a bit about Human Design, I am a 2/4 Self-Projected Projector with the 1-8 Channel of Inspiration, the 7-31 Channel of the Alpha and the RAX of Contagion 1 (30/29,14/8).
Astrology
I am an Aquarius Sun, with Pisces Moon and Pisces Rising.
Dressing Your Truth
In Carol Tuttle's Dressing Your Truth system, I am a Type 4/1. I mostly use this system now for clothing, colours and styling myself.
My Spinning Arrow
The name My Spinning Arrow actually comes from the Disney film "Pocahontas". As an adult I'm aware that this film is not historically accurate, but as a child I loved this movie and looked up to Pocahontas as an example of the kind of wise, wild woman archetype that I have always felt drawn to.
There is a quote from the film from Grandmother Willow; "This spinning arrow is pointing you down your path", which is referencing a compass. The idea of a compass pointing someone towards their true path was something that always stuck with me. When I found Human Design years later, I understood why I resonated with that so much - the compass is a fantastic metaphor for that internal sense of direction and pull that comes with having Self-Projected authority like I do.
Topics
The central themes I talk about most often in this space tend to be natural health and living, veganism, Human Design and solo-travel. I am usually the one who always has a herbal tea for everything and I'm always a big advocate for using natural products and being in charge of my own health. I have been vegan since January 2020 for ethical reasons and absolutely love going to the Vegan Camp Out festival every year. I am lucky enough to have travelled a lot throughout my life and I enjoy doing interesting once-in-a-lifetime trips - for example in 2024 I spent a month in Zimbabwe doing wildlife conservation voluteering, which was an incredible experience.
For a while in late 2024/early 2025 I was offering Human Design readings on this site. I am no longer offering these as standard but if you have any questions about this you're welcome to send over an email to info@myspinningarrow.com.
