In elementary school this manifested as me pulling “shenanigans” like refusing to sign a contract promising that I would never smoke cigarettes (my unconscious sun in gate 37 shining through, respecting the class enough to not lie and sign the contract if I wouldn’t uphold it ).

In middle school this was me chasing after all different types of boys — no “type preference” here! … and picking up smoking.

In high school I experimented with drugs and pushing the limits of what was allowed and legal in society.

In college I started traveling by myself, exploring the world and cultures. Understanding the meaning of “experience everything” in a whole new light.

And fast forward to just a few years ago realizing once more that I needed to experience something new, and embarking on the journey of entrepreneurship.

I have spent a lot of time in the past few months contemplating the gates defined in my Bodygraph, particularly through the lens of the planets that define them.

Gate 30 “The Gate of Feelings” brings this desire, a need even, to experience something new and different. In my chart this is defined by both my conscious North Node (which in theory kicks in around age 40) and my unconscious Venus.

In Human Design, Venus represents our sense of right and wrong. It is our values, morals, the laws that we set for ourselves.

Unconsciously, I am driven by this correctness to experience things and the incorrectness to stay the same.

People have projected on me (5th line!) that this is me running away from life, but as much as I sat with that it never resonated with me.

And feeling this energy so strongly already, I wonder how it will play out once my NN expression kicks in!

This Gate excites me and puts me at ease knowing that the life of excitement I desire at my core will unfold before me as I reminisce on how it has played out in the past.

Want to know how these energies shows up for you?
