Transiting Gate 59 & 55: Why you might be feeling a little sensitive
Right now you may be feeling it. We have significant energetic shifts happening and transits in gate 59 & 55 (more below) - that's leaving many of us feeling alive but also overwhelmed and fatigued. So rest assured, you're not alone. I've noticed that my body is craving more slowness, and less stimulation. My mind however, is most definitely not slowing down.
This is the time to start to SIMPLIFY. Watch if you are making things harder than they need to be, or searching for what is going wrong. We can create greater struggle than necessary. When we are used to cycles of stress, drama and overwhelm, our body gets stuck in fight or flight. We then subconsciously seek thought patterns and places that will create a similar cortisol / adrenaline response to make us feel at home, “normal” and alive. Then it becomes a self-perpetuating cycle of stress.
But luckily, with our awareness and regulation - that doesn't have to be our story. Choose differently. Witness when your mind begins to spiral, rather than go along for the ride. Slow down, simplify and recenter this week. Intentional actions will get you so much further than running around like a chicken with your head cut off (especially for those who also have an open root and head energy center).
Let the emotional energy pass through you, rather than creating a story around it. Regulate your body with breath & nature. Move towards the people that help you feel balanced. Give yourself more credit that you don’t need this stress to be able to show up in life. You no longer need to operate like the rug will be ripped underneath you. We’re just making life harder than it needs to be.
CURRENT HUMAN DESIGN TRANSITS:
The transits give us a sense of what we may personally expect to feel during an upcoming time period. As the transits shift and change, so does our energy and experience.
Right now, we are currently transiting gates 59 and 55, which brings a strong desire for connection, intimacy and emotional depth.
Gate 59 is all about intimacy, bond-making and honesty. Small talk and surface level connections isn't going to cut it right now. We are being called to break through barriers or walls to create a deeper bond with ourselves and others. Get honest with yourself - notice your patterns that contradict what you say you don't want. Where are you saying “yes” when it should be a “no”. This is the time to ask for support this week - be vulnerable in sharing what is happening in your world and what is alive within you. You don’t have to do it all alone.
Gate 55 is the gate of Spirit and is all about feeling the fullness of life. It is important to keep trust and optimism that what is meant to work out, will. True embodiment of this energy is the belief in abundance of all that is good and possible. Watch voices of scarcity and lack pop up - we ain't operating on that narrative. Gate 55 can also create a non-rational emotional energy of deep feeling that oscillates between experiencing the world through a lens of pain or pleasure, glass half full or half empty. Right now, do not create stories around any emotional experiences. Just witness and let the energy move through you. Being in victimhood only disempowers us.
Come back to what I mentioned earlier: simplify, ground, connect with your trusted ones. Try not to spiral in the lows and instead, let the energy move through you. Come back to the knowing that this too shall pass.
