A Cycle Closes, Something Deeper Begins, Human Design Gate 42 & Gate 32

Human Design Gate 42 & Gate 32

After weeks of difficult energy, it feels like the universe just wrapped me in a private hug and whispered, “You have done well”

I just got back home. I’d been in Austin for a week. I arrived early to give myself some space—time to rest, to ground, to arrive before the big energy ahead. And for the past four days, I’ve been immersed in a Human Design event that stirred something deep and beautiful inside me.

The first two days were focused on relationship readings. And honestly? They primed the pump for everything that was about to move next.

The final two days brought a profound experience of karmic clearing. Not through theory—but through deep contemplation, and what can only be described as sacred remembering.

Today, under the Full Moon in Libra—highlighted by Gate 32.3—and with the Sun and Chiron meeting in Gate 42.3, I can feel that I’m sitting at the completion of something powerful. Not just the end of a trip, or a training. But the end of a cycle. One that feels deeply personal—and also not mine alone.

I want to share this experience with you, but honestly? I’m still finding the words. So much of what I’ve felt doesn’t want to be explained. It wants to be honored.

But first—

The Energy of the Transit

☀️ Sun in Gate 42

There’s something almost poetic about the Sun shining through Gate 42 while I attended an incredibly empowering karma-clearing event with Chetan Parkyn and Carola Eastwood in Austin. This feels like it wrapped up a major personal (and energetic) chapter. Gate 42 carries the energy of completion—but not the kind where you check something off a list and move on. It’s about honoring the entire cycle. Letting something run its course. Staying present until the final note has been sung.

It’s part of the Collective Logical Circuit, so it wants to learn from the rhythm of life itself. It invites us to notice patterns—what starts, what evolves, and what naturally comes to an end. But in its shadow, it holds expectation: a kind of grasping that clings to how we thought it would go.

When we meet this energy with awareness, it softens. Detachment becomes possible. A sense of trust in the process—not needing to control the ending. And at its highest expression, Gate 42 offers celebration. Not just of the outcome, but of everything it took to get there.

That’s what I’ve been sitting with. Not everything has gone the way I imagined—but it has brought me here. And that is worth celebrating.

🌍 Earth in Gate 32

While the Sun draws our attention to what’s ending, the Earth grounds us in Gate 32—an energy that asks us to feel into what truly endures.

This is a Tribal energy, concerned with continuity, sustainability, and long-term impact. It’s wired to protect what matters most. But its shadow is fear of failure—the kind that keeps us holding on when something is already complete. It’s the part that says, “If I let this go, what if it all falls apart?”

When that fear softens, Gate 32 reveals its gift: preservation. Not clinging out of fear, but discerning what is truly worthy of being carried forward. And at its highest frequency, this becomes veneration—a sacred honoring of what has stood the test of time.

As I’ve been doing this deep work of releasing generational karma, this energy has grounded me in a place of gratitude—for all the “failures” my ancestors endured, and for everything they preserved so I could be here, doing this work.

🌊 How These Energies Are Interacting

Gate 42 and Gate 32 each hold deep wisdom on their own. But together, they create a kind of sacred tension—one that asks us to look at the stories we’ve been living and ask whether they’re ready to be completed… or transformed.

In their shadows, these gates can entangle us:

  • Expectation from Gate 42 can have us clinging to a specific outcome.
  • Fear of failure from Gate 32 can convince us we’re not allowed to let go.

And when those energies meet, we can feel stuck:

  • Waiting for the perfect ending.
  • Doubting whether it’s really time to move on.
  • Holding onto something simply because we’re afraid of what it means to release it.

But when we meet these shadows with presence, a new path opens.

Together, the gifts of Detachment and Preservation remind us that not everything is meant to last forever. And not everything that ends is a failure. Some things reach completion so that we—and those who come after us—can grow.

And when these gates express through their highest frequencies—Celebration and Veneration—they don’t just bring a cycle to a close. They bless it. They offer a kind of closure that feels sacred, whole, and earned.

While this transit isn’t always specifically about generational healing, with the current planetary alignments—Chiron conjunct the Sun in Gate 42, Venus and the Full Moon illuminating Gate 32—it’s easy to feel how this moment is asking something deeper of us.

For me, it’s opened the space to not just complete personal cycles—but to gently set down inherited ones, too.

 

🔮 Current Transit Influences & Key Themes

Chiron Kazimi the Sun in Gate 42.3 (Saturday, 4/12):

This moment is more than a passing alignment—it’s a spotlight on the soul. With Chiron, the Wounded Healer, conjunct the Sun in a gate already tied to closure and completion, we’re being asked to get honest about the cycles we’ve been clinging to—especially the ones that no longer serve us.

This is a powerful invitation to release the pressure to “finish” perfectly, to let go of timelines that were never really ours, and to forgive the part of us (or our lineage) that didn’t know how to let go. This is deep healing through acknowledgment and celebration. A sacred call to lovingly end what has reached its wisdom point.

 

Venus goes direct in Gate 36.3 (Sunday, 4/13):

Just hours after the Full Moon in Libra (Gate 32.3), Venus stations direct in Gate 36, the gate of crisis and emotional contrast. This particular line, 36.3, brings a powerful shift—moving us from emotional turbulence into integration.

Venus in this gate asks:

What am I feeling, and what is it trying to show me about my desires, my relationships, and my emotional truth?

This is where emotional maturity begins to settle in.

Where the drama dissolves and the wisdom of contrast begins to crystallize.

Gate 36 helps us understand that emotional intensity isn’t a problem—it’s a process. And as Venus moves direct, many of us may feel the veil lift over situations we’ve been wrestling with emotionally. What’s worth continuing becomes clearer. What’s been emotionally draining may suddenly feel complete.

This is a moment of emotional course correction—not from logic, but from felt truth.

 

Mercury is now direct in Gate 36.6:

Mercury, the planet of communication and mental clarity, is also moving forward again—and still lingering in Gate 36.6. This final line of Gate 36 can bring a sense of emotional resignation—a subtle, sometimes weary understanding that not everything can be fixed or figured out through the mind.

But that’s where its wisdom lies.

Gate 36.6 teaches us how to accept what is, and to let go of the emotional reactivity that often clouds our ability to speak clearly or make decisions. Now that Mercury is direct, we may begin to articulate feelings that were previously tangled or too tender to name.

But it’s still not about rushing forward.

This is a space of gentle reintegration.

The fog may be lifting—but we’re still adjusting our eyes to the light.

 

🔥 How This Might Be Showing Up:

  • Feeling pressure to finish something you’ve delayed—or the sweet relief of realizing it’s no longer yours to carry.
  • A deep desire to close a chapter that’s quietly been lingering.
  • Seeing how sometimes we preserve the lesson by letting go of the form it came in.

✨ Reflection Invitations

These past few days invited me into a clearing I didn’t know I was ready for. It wasn’t just about processing the past—it was about alchemizing it. I found myself naming things I hadn’t said out loud before: emotional patterns, ancestral silence, the way guardedness can masquerade as strength.

Some of what surfaced felt like mine.

Some of it didn’t.

But all of it moved through me as if asking to be witnessed, honored, and transformed.

I explored where love had become conditional.

Where self-expression had been filtered for safety.

Where dreams had been delayed across generations.

And I was reminded that this isn’t about rejecting the past—but gathering it. Reweaving it. Letting it become something new through me.

You don’t need to be doing formal “karma work” to feel this energy right now.

These gates—Gate 42 and Gate 32—are already asking the questions.

So if you’re noticing emotional layers surfacing, or sensing that something is ready to complete, here are a few invitations to explore:

  • What patterns or beliefs am I carrying that may not have originated with me?
  • Where have I been holding back my full presence, my voice, or my truth?
  • What feels unfinished yet may be ready to be released—not in a pressured way, but in a tender one?
  • What would it feel like to honor a cycle that’s ending, even if no one else sees it?

Sometimes, the most radical thing we can do is tell the truth—to ourselves first.

And sometimes, that truth sounds like: This no longer belongs to me. I release it with love.

 

📍 Navigating This Energy With Awareness

This weekend marked the end of a cycle—not just for me, but for so many of us.

Even if you weren’t consciously working through something, the energy of this Full Moon, these transits, and this moment in time have likely stirred something. Something that’s asking to be completed. Released. Or simply acknowledged.

Gate 42 reminds us: completion is not about control—it’s about presence.

Gate 32 reminds us: what’s essential will endure.

So whether you’ve been actively shedding layers or quietly noticing emotional threads loosening, I invite you to sit with this energy a little longer. Let the Full Moon illuminate what’s been working behind the scenes. Let it guide you in naming what you’re done carrying—and honoring what you’re choosing to preserve.

You don’t have to rush into the next thing.

Completion is something.

And just because something is ending, doesn’t mean anything went wrong.

It may simply mean… you’re ready.

🌀 No Transit Talk this week

Jess and I were both at the event here in Austin, so we skipped this cycle’s Transit Talk. But we’ll be back live on Wednesday, April 16th at 12pm Eastern, when the Sun moves into Gate 3 and the Earth into Gate 50. Join us then as we explore the next wave of energy together.

May this Full Moon offer you a moment to breathe, reflect, and recognize the sacred cycles that are ending in your own life.

You don’t need to force clarity.

Just honor what’s rising.

That’s how we simplify.

That’s how we trust.

That’s how we shine.
