Gate 19 in Human Design is the energy for sensitivity in its highest form, and for the very human trait of wanting to be wanted.
Gate No: 19 – The Gate of Wanting (a.k.a. Approach)
Location: The Root
Connects to: Gate 49 via the Channel of Synthesis
Sign: Aquarius
Highly Sensitive Much?
Gate 19 is the energy for sensitivity in all areas of life (emotional, spiritual, physical, etc.) and wanting to be wanted. It brings (and yearns for) intimacy, and desires belonging.
When this Gate appears in a person’s chart, it’s natural for every other aspect of their energy to be more highly sensitive than it would be without it.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re a Highly Sensitive Person, check to see if you have Gate 19. You probably do.
Hints that you may have Gate 19:
- You can’t keep tags in your shirts because they’re too scratchy/uncomfortable
- Other peoples’ pets come running to greet you like you’re old besties
- Codependency and self-sacrifice are familiar ways of walking through life for you (if this is the case, let’s help you stop living this way!)
For the Good of the Group
In the high vibration, Gate 19 wants what’s best for everyone. It’s great at understanding what those in the tribe or community aren’t getting enough of, and it wants to ensure those members are well cared for.
19 knows it’s not necessarily its job to be the provider of those resources; it’s here to detect who needs what and allocate those resources appropriately.
Gate 19 wants to belong to a group, whether it’s a team, a family or a community. It exhibits extreme sensitivity, capable of picking up on what others are feeling and even being able to relate to animals.
“Don’t You Need Me?!!!”
A misaligned or low-vibration 19 tends toward codependency. It stays in bad situations too long and sacrifices its own needs simply for the chance to ‘belong’ somewhere.
Others may call it clingy or needy, as its sensitivity and ‘wanting’ can be just too much to take.
It may shut itself down entirely, in that case, denying its true desire to be wanted and muting its ability to be sensitive to others’ needs.
It can react negatively and fill with shame at the slightest hint of criticism, and is uniquely at risk of developing eating disorders or allergies.
If this sounds like you, let’s work together to do some de-conditioning so that you can step into the higher vibration and the true power of Gate 19.
The true gift of Gate 19 is its ability to know what it really means to love and be loved. It holds the power to change how we view intimacy and to lead us into a deeper understanding of the world around us.
