Human Design Gate 49

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.

Synthesis: The Channel Formed by Gate 49

Gate 49 forms a channel with Gate 19, creating the Channel of Synthesis (49-19). This channel connects the Solar Plexus to the Root Center. Therefore, this channel is about the synthesis of emotions and needs. It focuses on the creation and dissolution of social bonds based on emotional clarity and the recognition of mutual needs and principles.

The Impact of Gate 49

Gate 49 in Human Design is all about transformation for the greater good. It’s not necessarily a change in us, more like a change for us. It’s a gate that demands integrity to principles, emotional clarity, and the courage to initiate change when necessary. The clues to this gate’s energy are in its lines, channel, and Incarnation Crosses. The Gate of Revolution is the flickering flame, reflecting behind our eyes. The clears out the bullshit in how we relate to one another and to society. It is a bringer of change, integrity, and shift towards higher principles for the improvement of the connection.

WHAT ARE THE LINES?

Each Gate has six “lines”. They are represented by the number after the decimal for each gate (3.4, 10.2, 41.3, etc.).

Each Line carries a different “flavor” of a gate’s energy. The Lines are determined by the precise planetary placements on your bodygraph chart. Some placements can change lines every 12 minutes!

The 6 Lines are derived from the Chinese I’Ching’s Hexagrams.

Lines 1, 2, and 3 are energies for more personal, individual growth.

Lines 4, 5, and 6 are energies for growth through, or for, the outside world.

The Lines of Gate 49

Line 1: Oversensitivity

The energy of investigation and questioning. Here, the energy is about probing into the principles that underlie relationships and societal norms, seeking a foundational understanding before taking action. The misuse of influence, to insist that necessity can be created out of action. To commit acts of disorder as proof that disorder exists. Oversensitivity to rejection that can turn a principle into a crusade.
This line carries the energy of being naturally attuned to when change is necessary. It’s about an innate sense of knowing when principles are violated and a change must be made, often without the need for external validation.

Line 3: Coming Soon

Energies are focused on testing which principles work and which do not. It’s about learning from experiences, trials, and errors in the context of relationships and social contracts.

Line 4: Coming Soon

This line focuses on the social aspects of principles. It deals with the application of principles to maintain or dissolve relationships based on opportunities for growth or betterment.

Line 5: Coming Soon

Principles are challenged or upheld against societal norms. It carries the energy of being seen as a heretic or a visionary, depending on how the principles align with or challenge the status quo.

Line 6: Coming Soon

This line represents the mature understanding of when to engage or disengage based on a deep sense of integrity and the greater good.
