In January 2023, I won a one-to-one Quantum Human Design™ chart reading from Karen Curry Parker. With her team they formulated this high frequency interpretation of the Traditional Human Design system. One theme we explored was the significance of me having the Sun in gate 35 in my chart.
I clearly remember her saying to me
that with Gate 35 – the gate of Progress or Change in Traditional Human Design, or Experience in Quantum Human Design™, defined in my chart, as a ‘hanging gate’ (not reaching the other end of the channel at Gate 36) I was likely to notice the theme of hopping from thing, to thing, to thing. Struggling to know where best to place my efforts. This was exactly my experience, and although the extent of the information didn’t fully ‘land’ at the time (I was less than a year into my Human Design experiment) – it really helped me make sense of those experiences. If you have Gate 35 defined in your Human Design chart, you’ll probably be familiar with this too.
Just recently, I’ve been paying a LOT more attention to the transits, to see where the sun and earth gates are. I love finding different ways to make the insights of these as part of my daily routine. It’s quite amusing to me. Even though I was aware of the sun highlighting Gate 35 right now, I didn’t recognise this theme playing out. In a somewhat exaggerated way – until I was preparing to write this post.
I spent half of yesterday (a Sunday) attempting to map out a heap of ideas I’ve been exploring recently, to use in my business. I feel very much like an ideas machine! But when I couldn’t see how it all fit together, I found myself feeling grumpy. I became irritable and not much fun to be around for the rest of that day. I disappeared into my grown-up colouring book – one of the ways I often take myself away from something that’s slowing me down.
At the end of the day, I’m still human.
Frustration is very much a part of my ‘not-self’ energy as a Manifesting Generator – a Time Bender in Quantum Human Design. Generator types (making up approx 70% of the population) can use frustration as a sign that we’re on our way to something better. It doesn’t always work like that, though. Sometimes we get caught up in a frustration loop. We buy into being frustrated as part of who we are, instead of using it as a jumping off point to our next level of expansion. It’s a common theme. Even when we’re aware, we don’t always remember to just notice the feeling, allowing it to give us insights we can use.
Gate 35 in Human Design is highlighting the Sun in this week’s transit.
The energy theme of Gate 35 is very much having the experience to aid growth, or make progress. Sometimes we experience something once and that tells us what we need to know – other times it can happen as if on a loop. It’s all about what you notice about that experience and how you can use it to catapult you forwards.
As a throat centre gate (pictured here), it needs to be expressed in some way, and when that doesn’t happen, it can contribute to the frustration or a low grade manifestation.
It’s about knowing which experiences are worth our time and energy, and worth committing to or sharing.
When you share those experiences, you can lift others up with your insights and the knowledge you’ve gained. There’s a natural ability here to transform experience into wider impact, if you can step fully into those shoes.
In its lower expression, as I’ve described, it may look like you need to experience everything. But then have no idea what to do about it all. You soak it up like a sponge because you feel you may never experience enough otherwise. Ferreting away your experiences in case you’re able to make use of them ‘one day’. These can mount up and weigh you down. Unless you let them find their way into the world so you can let them shine brightly. Make sense?
The Earth as relating to the chart this week.
In Gate 5, found on the Sacral centre, the energy theme of this gate is Patterns (Traditional Human Design). Known as Consistency in Quantum Human Design™. When highlighted by the Earth, as it is for the next few days, it can help bring more rhythm and routine into our lives, to ground us.
We need consistency in our lives to be experience reliability and harmony.
Following chaos as a theme, we attract more chaos.
If this gate is defined in your chart, especially in the sun or the earth, you may recognise yourself as someone who needs routine and rhythm in your daily life.
You may also identify as someone who struggles with this energy (hands up, that’s me!). It’s only been by recognising this theme playing out that I’ve found myself able to explore why. Why I resist doing things in a habitual, consistent way. What you resist, persists!
And it all depends where this is defined in your chart. Each planet brings a different flavour of the energy to its expression.
Reminder: if you don’t have this defined/coloured in in your Quantum Human Design™ chart, you still have it in your chart. You’ll still experience it in life, just not in such a consistent way.
Our challenges often bring us our greatest expansion. Through the energies that demand extra attention of us, we’re able to see how we’re able to contribute more to the world.
Understanding more about the themes of the planets, and then the gates in your chart is a deep way to recognise how you move in the world. It’s one of the things we look at when I work more closely with women like you. Women who seek to understand themselves on a transformative level.
It’s work I’m extremely passionate about too. If you’d like to gain a better understanding of how the themes play out in your chart – book a curiosity call and I’ll explain a bit more about how it might look for you when we work together.
