Going from crisis to compassion: gate 36 in the human design mandala
The sun's transit into this human design gate has big lessons for us
The sun has entered gate 36 of the human design mandala, activating the energy of this gate for us to contemplate and experience even more self awareness.
Gate 36 is the human design gate of CRISIS, or the traditional name: the darkening of the light {sounds ominous, eh?}.
🤡 Oh man… When we think of the word crisis we imagine destruction and the breakdown of things, right?
We look around in the world and we are seeing this happening around us, and it’s a real tower card moment. {and so many of them all at the same time}
Old ways of doing things are falling down all around us, and we are witnessing the end of eras as they tumble to the ground.
Here we are in it…
AND IT FEELS A LITTLE OVERWHELMING, RIGHT?
You may have this energy of restlessness that has you questioning what you should (or shouldn’t) do next.
If you’re ungrounded, you may feel like you’re going from one crisis to another. That shit is on fire. And you seem to put out one blaze only to discover another burning.
It feels like a fucking rollercoaster. But not a fun one. One that has you upside down, going too fast, then an abrupt slamming on of the brakes in weird random places along the track.
Like wtf?!
This energy is showing you where you {and the world around you} are out of alignment.
So it’s a gift, even though it feels like torture sometimes.
See, gate 36 is all about the energy of craving shocking and intense emotional experiences. So when it is activated by the sun, we find that a certain degree of restlessness comes up in the collective. We are searching for an escape.
if you’re ungrounded, you may find yourself:
feeling the desire to “start shit”
getting wrapped up in other’s drama
doing things that you know aren’t good for you
binge eating
drinking/doing drugs to excess
putting yourself in unsafe environments
buying things you don’t need
saying, “hey, bring it on” to the universe to find some kind of relief from the pressure you feel
It’s like we can’t help ourselves in creating chaos to disrupt the status quo.
Which is good, because in this energy we find ourselves being more attentive to our desires and less obedient to our should’s. You know, those things we do, that we don’t really wanna do, but that we think we should do, for whatever reason {it’s usually to find success or please others somehow, amiright?}.
What we really want is to feel free, and to get to do what we want and desire most.
Most of the time, our conditioning has us ignoring these aspects of ourselves to ensure that we fit in and succeed in the way that we think we should.
Gate 36 says f that, and encourages us to find compassion for ourselves, to be kind to ourselves, and address how we are suffocating our joy by following a protocol that doesn’t resonate with our true nature.
One that completely disregards our authentic desires.
So here is where I invite you to go deeper.
I am begging you to address how you are ignoring these desires and instead using the distraction of addiction to stay “on track” with the current path your on.

You asked, How am I suffocating my joy by following a protocol that doesn’t resonate with our true nature?
This is a question I will continue to ask because there are so many layers.
Thank you AJ for reminding me to take a much needed moment for self
