the desire for experience
and the gifts of sharing with Gate 35
Gate 35 energy is all about experience, baby. You’re not here to sit still. You’re here to live, feel, explore, and grow. Whether that means hopping on a plane, trying something new in your business, or just having a real, messy convo that leaves you forever changed, you’re wired to seek out the feeling of forward motion. Gate 35 just wants to feel like you’re living life to the fullest.
Gate 35 is one of those energies that makes you want to pack your bags and go. And while that can be beautiful… it can also be exhausting. This gate is all about emotional experiences, living through them, growing from them, and then sharing what you’ve learned in a way that transforms others. It’s the storyteller, the adventurer, the “been there, done that, here’s how it felt” voice we all need.
This week, Gate 35 is active in the transits, inviting us to check in:
👉 Are we moving from a place of alignment…
👉 Or just restlessness?
If your Gate 35 is defined, you’re probably the type who gets bored easily (no shame, it’s part of who you are!) There’s this inner urge to keep things moving. To experience more. To taste all the flavors life has to offer. You’re not necessarily looking for things, you’re looking for emotions. You want the richness of living it, not just checking it off a list. But not every experience is worth your time or energy. Just because something feels exciting doesn’t mean it’s aligned. You have to tune into your authority to know what’s really meant for you.
When you do follow what feels right? You’re magnetic. You inspire others with your stories, your passion, your “I tried this and here’s what it taught me” kind of wisdom. You show people that it’s okay to change paths, to crave more, to evolve.
If your Gate 35 is undefined (like mine), you might feel the pressure to “do all the things” or seek out one new experience after another, especially when you’re around people with this energy defined. You might even find yourself saying yes to things that don’t actually feel aligned… just for the sake of progress or novelty. Sound familiar? 🙋🏻♀️ Same.
This week is your reminder that you don’t have to constantly chase the next thing. When this energy shows up in a transit, or you're absorbing it from someone else, it’s okay to pause. You can still grow, evolve, and experience deep richness without burning yourself out on the endless pursuit of “more.”
My contemplation’s:
Gate 35 is another gate in the throat centre, meaning that the gift this gate brings is the ability to share your emotions with others about your experiences and adventures. It carries an energy of adventure and new experiences. As I mentioned, Gate 35 is undefined in my chart, and I can resonate with that feeling of always chasing after new and novel experiences. I feel like I need to do it all and always move into the next adventure, even when I don’t actually want to. It kind of feels like “fomo”, yet after contemplating on this gate, I think it really is just that energy that I am absorbing from other people.
When I dig and reflect deeper, I realize that I am constantly chasing after new experiences when often what feels more aligned is sitting in the present moment and loving exactly where I am at. That doesn’t mean that I can’t still take on new things and grow & evolve. But instead it means that I am not meant to constantly be chasing after the next thing. In a sense, none of us are. Even if you have this gate defined and you may hate boredom and love adventure, you still need to take a moment to check in with yourself about which experience you are meant to pursue.
So many of us get lost in the chase, lost in the pursuit of the “next new, shiny thing”. In reality, we don’t need to chase but instead we need to immerse ourselves deep in the experiences that are meaningful to us. Take some time this week to figure out what really matters to you, then dive in and share your experience — and more importantly, your feelings about the experience — with others when it feels aligned and correct for you 🫶🏼
Ways to work with Gate 35 energy this week:
Notice where you're craving change or novelty: Are you chasing something just to avoid boredom? Can you find presence in what’s here now instead?
Check in before saying yes: Does this experience actually feel aligned? Or is it just shiny and new?
Reflect on a meaningful past experience: What did it teach you? How can you share it with someone who might need to hear it?
Let yourself feel your feelings: Gate 35 carries emotional depth. Don’t skip over the heart of the story. Feel it, then speak it.
Practice storytelling: Share something with a friend or in your journal. You don’t need to “have a point”, just start speaking from the heart and see what lands.
Journal prompts to explore:
Where in my life do I feel like I need to be “doing more” to feel valuable?
What experiences actually feel nourishing to me right now? Which ones just feel noisy or draining?
What kind of progress am I craving, and why?
