Gate 19: Solar Transit for Jan 28-Feb 1st
Gate 19: The Future Human Being
Hello dear souls,
The new year has come and gone in the Human Design calendar on January 21st! How are you holding up? How are things going for you these days?
We are now in gate 19 until February 1st Eastern Time.
In Human Design this can be referred to as the Gate of Wanting. It is located in the Root centre and points towards Gate 49 in the Solar Plexus, forming the channel 19-49 The Channel of Synthesis. This is in the Tribal circuitry.
What is the energy of Gate 19?
Gate 19 is associated with the material and spiritual world.
There is a sensitivity here to be able to communicate with animals, nature and other realms entirely.
Food and its representation of the connection between humans and our natural environment is expressed here.
It is an energy about our relationships to one another and the spiritual evolution from codependence to independence and finally to interdependence.
This is an energy about moving from old tribal, and codependent ways of living, to embracing our individuality and experiencing spiritual evolution with greater connection to other cosmic realms.

Low expression / shadow of this gate:
You may go too far, sacrificing too much of your needs and boundaries to keep relationships. This may show up as codependency, people pleasing, and staying too long in a relationship.
You may also be judged for being too sensitive.
Even though your alliances are fulfilling your basic needs, remember that you can always rely on your other independent gates and energies as well as your Strategy and Authority to keep you meeting your needs.
We created religions out of surrendering our authority to something outside of us, therefore giving up our awareness that the power of God(s) lives within us.
The most literal and metaphysical example of this is the fact that we eat food, which comes from the environment outside of our bodies. Food was and always will be sacred for us as humans because we need it to survive.
In our modern world, we can access food without tribal connections. We can purchase food, transactionally even if we have no relationship with the lands, or people that grow our food. We no longer need tribal connections in the same way we used to.
From the Gene Keys system, the Shadow is Codependence.
The repressive manifestation is: Neediness. People in this vibration feel a need to be with others, out of a fear of being alone. They may guilt others into convincing them that they are needed in their lives. Even negative attention is welcomed, attention is attention and it’s better than no attention for them.
The reactive manifestation is: Isolation. This is an angry vibration that claims they do not want or need attention, or that they are lone wolves who are independent, and ward people off. But underneath it all, they desperately desire attention and cannot admit it themselves or anyone for that matter.
When one person has the reactive manifestation and the other has the repressive, it can form a perfectly codependent, dramatic, and challenging relationship dynamic.
Here is a note about low expressions and how to work with them. It's an important nuance to understand about the low expression.
High expression of this gate:
This gate’s material and emotional needs require successful interactions with others.
You may ensure that basic needs are met for yourself and your environment.
Food must always be available in the fridge or closeby, reliable friends that you can always call upon, and shelter, and sex must be easily accessible.
You have a heightened sense of emotion and physical touch. You desire both and can provide these gracefully to others.
You know that access to trusting relationships, alliances and unions are crucial to you. You know it takes time and you do not cower from a turbulent start to a relationship.
In this gate, lives the wisdom that we are all interconnected as part of one whole. This awareness helps to establish an emotionally close and trusting relationship.
You might even be gifted with connection with plants and animals.
“In order to be able to sense others and their needs, you must first become independent from them, which is what this 19th gift is about.” - Richard Rudd
When you can transcend your own emotional, relational and material needs, you elevate your frequency which allows you to become aware of the needs of everyone around you.
You might have a gift of synaesthesia - the genetic ability to link multiple senses together, for example, people can SEE music, or SMELL with their eyes. There is likely other deeply sensory abilities such as sensing the environment through your hair or skin. People who have this gate defined are also likely shamans or can see faeries or hear the voices of angels or be psychic. You might experience this during this transit if you don’t have it defined in your chart.
By loving oneself, you unlock the genetic mutation from the Shadow to the Gift of Sensitivity.
Horse whisperers or animal whisperers of any kind might have this gate defined. The quantum fields between humans and animals or what we think is separate, will collapse and we will regain a deep connection of coexistence with mammals again in the future.
The Siddhic vibration for this gate is: Sacrifice. This is ultimately about transcending any identity as an individual and understanding that we are interdependent with one another.
The true meaning of interdependence is about entering into a state of union with all beings in the cosmos, which involves the death of the separate self. This kind of sacrifice can only occur when you give your heart unconditionally to another. Instead of dying, you were actually reborn as a higher dimensional being. And surrendering your smaller self, are you attain realization of your greater self…
Once humans overcome their codependence on outside agencies, they finally achieve independence. Likewise, once they obtain independence, they have to take another great leap – to give up their hard earned independence and trust in the totality itself. This surrender to the collective structure involves a sacrifice at the highest level of the words meaning. This is the sacrifice of your separate identity, and perhaps far more frightening for the separate self, it is the sacrifice of your body.”
- Richard Rudd
Systems change lens:
Richard Rudd claims that the near future will experience more violence and pollution and disease because the genetic mutation we are collectively experiencing. When mutations occur, there will inevitably be many errors at the beginning. There is also a global population growth because the genes need a lot of opportunities for it to figure out which is the best and most effective way to mutate.
I have been questioning this push towards tribal approaches in social justice circles a lot over the last several years. While I appreciate the call for supporting one another, in times of crisis and lack of access to resources, I sense that there is a shaming towards individuation. That individuation is the oppressive approach of the wealthy capitalists.
I think we need to get a lot more specific about our understandings about the nuanced definitions and meanings of the concepts: individuation, independence, codependence and interdependence. Independence in the Gift frequency of this gate. I really appreciate the quote I read and included here about being able to sense others’ needs requiring being independent of them.
This is a Tribal circuit energy after all. It is ultimately about all of us and our ways we connect and relate. I think we are mixing up all of those words when we discuss our strategies towards social change. I can also imagine how an individual can see-saw between the reactive and repressive shadows of this gate and maybe even organize or advocate out of the repressive neediness theme in the name of showing up for one another as oppressed groups.
I’ve written about codependence in social justice organizing a decade ago, but it is slowwwwly starting to shift. I can see movements embracing and teaching about independence and interdependence now. Richard Rudd predicts that humanity is going through major mutations towards interdependence from codependence, but the Gift level of Independence is a necessary level to go through.
Emi’s Personal Reflection:
I don’t have this gate defined. I had a client once who had some visions of herself as a chef although she hadn’t pursued it yet. She was an organizer and involved in social change work though. I already baked more than I ever have yesterday in advance of this energy. Maybe that had something to do with this transit! I look forward to seeing what I experience this transit.
Reflection prompts for you:
Do I see any behaviours of Neediness or Isolation in myself?
Do I feel a greater connection or more awareness about animals, food and nature this transit?
Can I take some time each day during this transit to meditate or tune in to hearing the wisdom that cosmic consciousness wants to share with me?
What is my perspective about transcending codependence into independence, and into interdependence? What might that look like in my life?
