The Gate of Principles
Rebellions. Revolutions. Paradigm shifts. These are the energies of Gate 49.
Also known as the Gate of Principles or Revolution, it plays a crucial role in the process of transformation and change, particularly in the context of relationships and society. This gate is about the principles of bonding and what is deemed acceptable or not in relationships. It asks what is necessary to uphold or dissolve these bonds based on principles. Personally, I think of this as “The Warlord Gate”.
In Relationships
In Human Design, The Gate of Revolution is affectionately known as the gate of “Marriage and/or Divorce”. The energy in this gate is always flowing with the emotional energies. So, the pendulum can swing from intense, sincere acceptance to seemingly instantaneous emotional freezing and rejection. If Gate 49 is activated in your chart, it’s time to understand it’s energy! Having awareness of it’s impact on your relationships helps you harness its highest expression/gift: “The Sacred Rebel”. Consequently, individuals who carry this channel’s energy may have unique stories about their relationships.
