36 Gate of Crisis: Human Design Explained, Alignment & Transit

Human Design Gate 36 is located in the Emotional Solar Plexus Center and is all about emotional depth and big emotional waves.

Although these waves can be destabilizing, they are also where the magic of innovation and change happens. So buckle up, because we’re about to ride through the turbulence to find the treasure.

 

Gate 36 isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s about facing crises head-on and finding the opportunities hidden in them. This gate will test you, push you, and make you feel like you’re in the eye of the storm.

 

But it’s in these moments of intensity that you find your true strength and creativity. Every challenge is a chance to innovate, to pivot, and to come out stronger on the other side.

 

The Shadow: Emotional Chaos

 

With this gate it’s easy to get lost in the whirlwind of feelings, to react impulsively, and to make decisions you might regret later.

 

The shadow of Gate 36 can make you feel like you’re drowning in uncertainty and volatility. But here’s the deal – you don’t have to be at the mercy of this chaos.

 

I personally have this Gate, and it wasn’t until I found the miraculous Emotional Freedom Technique aka EFT Tapping, that I had a way to go through each emotion without being consumed and broken by it.

 

Now that I have EFT and my signature 6 Liberation Layers, I can spend literally 3 minutes to release the emotion while tapping, which puts you out of the “fight or flight” survival state and calms down your nervous system. This means that even though you’re voicing out big emotions, such as Anger for example, you’re not getting all worked up and ending up feeling “on fire” by the end of it. No, you’re calming down and neutralizing the energy as you progress!

 

THIS is how you painlessly go through emotions. Not by mere journaling or talk therapy, which don’t address the crucial nervous system aspect of stuck emotions and trauma.

 

The Gift: Humanity

 

The gift of Gate 36 is all about embracing your feelings and finding clarity in the midst of crisis. It’s about taking those raw, intense emotions and channeling them into something constructive.

 

This is where you get to show what you’re made of. Use these high-pressure situations as a catalyst for growth and innovation.

 

Once you regulate & release through EFT, you literally liberate yourself from the suffocating burdens of the emotional turmoil, or stuck emotions that are blocking your actions, and on the other side you FINALLY access that highly coveted detached feeling where everything becomes “no big deal!”

 

THIS is how you feel the fear and do it anyways.

THIS is how every crisis becomes an opportunity to evolve and come out on the other side as a winner!

Gate 36 in Business

 

This Gate can be a game-changer for growing your heart-centered business. If you’ve got this Gate in your Human Design chart, you’re wired for emotional depth and transformation.

 

That is your golden ticket in the Age of Authenticity where emotional and relatable, imperfect human stories win every single time over manufactured perfection of the Age of Fakeness (that we’re thankfully leaving behind).

 

Emotions = Authentic & Magnetic Brands

 

You’ll have days where your emotions are all over the place, where the feedback isn’t what you expected, and everything feels like an uphill battle. But guess what? Your audience wants to see how you handle this. They want authenticity, not perfection. When you’re real with them, when you show them how you navigate the storm, that’s when they connect with you on a whole new level.

 

In the world of heart-centered entrepreneurship, connection is everything. Gate 36 gives you the ability to connect with your clients and customers on a deeply emotional level because you’re so good at pinpointing the specific emotions and communicating their nuances in your content. Leverage that.

 

When you craft your messages, your offers, your entire brand, infuse it with the authenticity and emotional depth that comes naturally to you. People crave real connections, and you’ve got the ability to deliver that in spades.

 

This Gate is your secret weapon to deeply connect with your audience because you get it – you understand the human experience like no one else. So show up authentically, share your journey, the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s literally what makes you extra captivating.

 

Share The Journey, Get The Love

 

You’re going to face challenges. That’s a given. But Gate 36 is all about turning every challenge into an opportunity for growth and innovation.

 

Hit a roadblock? Good. It means you’re pushing boundaries.

Use the intensity of your experiences to fuel your creativity and to find solutions that no one else can see. Your business isn’t just a business, but a reflection of your journey of transformation. Own that narrative and take us along for the ride.

 

As you yourself know, nothing is as magnetic and able to create a loyal audience than sharing your journey with all it’s wins and challenges.

 

Build a Community, Not Just a Customer Base

 

Here’s where you truly shine. Because you’re so authentic and share the emotions of the journey, you’re not just building a customer base, but creating a community.

 

This is where the magic happens. So foster a space where people feel seen, heard, and valued. Your business becomes more than a transactional space—it becomes a transformational community where real change happens.

 

Keep Your Heart in the Game

 

Lastly, remember why you started. Your heart-centered business is an extension of your soul’s purpose. It’s easy to get caught up in the numbers, the strategies, and the hustle, but at the end of the day, it’s your heart that’s going to make the biggest impact. Stay true to that, stay passionate, and let that passion be the beacon that guides your business forward.
