2nd June - 8th June 2026
The sun moves through each of the Human Design gates; one gate every 5-6 days. As it does, it brings a collective theme to humanity, a spark on the treasure map of our Human Design chart that can be felt and invites exploration. I call these Stories from the Stars. Please note: Unlike last week that included a big long essay, I will keep these Stories from the Stars short and practical for you. I will start to write longer Human Design pieces to add to the resources that are part of your stardusting experience here, bear with me while I get into the rhythm of writing these for you. Plus read to the bottom for details of upcoming events.
From today until 8th June, it’s the turn of Gate 35: The Gate of Change.
Pull out your Human Design chart and see if you have Gate 35 defined (coloured in). If you do, you already know this energy, you have consistent access to it at all times. You might feel it a little stronger right now, and you’ll see it in those around you. If Gate 35 is not coloured in, it’s usually undefined, but right now you’ll have a strong sense of the themes for the next few days, as will everyone else.
Gate 35 sits in the Throat Centre and is the gate of experience, progress, and the hunger for what comes next.
The core energy here is about living fully. Gate 35 carries a deep desire to experience, to move through life collecting moments, feelings, and stories. It is not satisfied with the theoretical. It wants to have been there, done that, and felt it in the body. The restlessness this gate generates is meant to be a signal, it points toward the fact that stagnation is never the answer. It’s time to break out of those routines!!
In its high expression, Gate 35 brings a capacity for storytelling born from genuine lived experience. There is wisdom here that can only come from having moved through many different seasons of life. People with this gate defined (and that’s all of us for the next few days) have a gift for communicating what it feels like to go through something, and that is a gift that moves people.
The high expression can also look like a courageous willingness to say yes to something new, to let two or more spheres of their lives collide, or to close one chapter with grace and walk toward the next with curiosity rather than clinging. It is the energy of the person who trusts that every experience, even a difficult one, is adding something to who they are becoming.
It looks like progress.
In its low expression,
the hunger for something new becomes a running away from the present, to be bored with life as it is. There is a restlessness that can never quite be satisfied, jumping from experience to experience, relationship to relationship, project to project, always convinced that this next thing will finally be the one that feels like enough. We need to take the learnings from our experiences and if not, we’ll find the same experiences repeating again and again until we receive the lessons. The low expression can also look like a sense of superiority toward anything that feels ordinary, or a bitterness toward a life that hasn’t delivered enough novelty or excitement.
Or it might look like the opposite: a paralysis in the face of change. A clinging to what is familiar even when it has clearly run its course, because at least the known feels safe.
Please note: we all move through the high and low expression of all parts of our Human Design chart. The aim is not to ‘work on yourself until you become a high expression of every part of your chart.’ Each Story from the Stars is instead simply an invitation to notice what you notice, for me it’s more of a ‘OMG, I recognise I’ve been feeling itchy feet more than usual, I did not know why this was showing up more than usual’. The noticing, the awareness, starts a shift inside you towards alignment, without you having to create some big change-yourself program. Phew!
Because the Sun is currently transiting through Gate 35, this energy becomes collective. You might notice the world demonstrating a huge amount of the shadow expression of this gate, a collective dissatisfaction, or a hunger for power or wealth (Richard Rudd, Gene Keys). Or a tendency to accumulate ever-more experiences without ever pausing and having the patience to integrate them.
Alternatively, you might see the higher expression: people sharing their stories with real vulnerability, honouring how far they have come, gifting us with their wisdom and stepping toward what’s next.
The invitation of Gate 35 is simple. Let your hunger for life lead you forward, but pause long enough to receive what each chapter is actually offering you.
Some journalling questions for you to reflect on Gate 16:
Do you need to create or discover more passion in your life, right now? Because you recognise you’re settled into the same old patterns, rather than out of boredom?
What experience from your past have you never fully integrated or allowed yourself to receive the lesson from? (You’ll know because there will be repeating patterns here.)
Is there something you have been clinging to, a situation, a relationship, a version of yourself, that has clearly run its course? What would it mean to let it close?
Are you sharing the stories and wisdom gained from your experiences and adventures?
What experiences do you want to have in your life?
I’d love to hear where you’re noticing this energy over the next few days in your own life, or that of others.
Upcoming Events
Shit List Day - Friday 5th June
