This week in Human Design, the sun is in gate 19 and the earth in 33 - two gates that make up part of the Incarnation Cross of Four Ways. This activation occurs from January 27th at 9:05pm est through February 2nd at 10:03am est.
This cross - and the energy of this week - ensures humanity is nourished - physically, spiritually and emotionally. It’s a time to reflect on our past and strive toward the great unknown of our future.
This week you might need lots of connection with others, followed by periods of deep contemplation and quiet.
If life for you in recent weeks has been filled with contemplation or solitude, this might be an extroverted week for you — it might be time to get out into the world. And likewise, if life lately has been filled with going and doing, this is the week to slow down, reflect, and integrate.
Gate 19 is known in Human Design as the Gate of Wanting. It brings us the potential to be deeply attuned to meeting our own and others’ needs and desires — emotional and otherwise.
The energy of this gate provides the pressure and fuel to bring us toward what we need to be emotionally healthy. It’s concerned with the basic needs of the community, and ensuring everyone (including ourselves!) has what they need to survive and thrive.
Gate 19 is where we find the energy for the “marriage contract”; it’s focused on communal and relational needs and finding community who share certain principles so that our basic needs can be met.
With Gate 19 defined in the transits this week, it’s important to remember that fairness is necessary for healthy relationships and community. And this energy is healthiest when it’s in connection with others — meeting other’s emotional needs and having yours met too. It’s about mutual, communal care.
While the sun is in gate 19, the earth in 33 offers grounding and balancing.
Gate 33 is known in Human Design as the Gate of Privacy. This gate requires time and space so that it can reflect and make sense of the lessons of the past — eventually expressing them and providing a direction forward that supports the collective.
The energy of this gate holds and nurtures the end of experiential cycles. It is the calm after a storm of activity and life; it is the return to home, to the retreat in which we integrate all that has occurred.
Gate 33 is where we find the ability to express the wisdom of the collective’s experiences. As you reflect on all sides of an experience, a deep wisdom is gleaned. And when that wisdom is integrated, you can share what you’ve learned through a clear and concise voice.
With Gate 33 defined in the transits this week, it’s important to remember that you need proper time and space to reflect. Without the ability to withdraw, you (and the collective) may keep repeating cycles or disregard the wisdom that waits for you.
This week is the perfect time to focus on the needs of the human experience, both the mundane - like food, friends, sex, and shelter, as well as the transcendental - like solitude, reflection, spirituality and God or the universe.
Take good care of yourself and your people this week!
