What are Gates 9 and 16, the other half of the old cross?

They are the detail and skill side of the Cross of Planning. Ra described Gate 9 as focus: patient detail work, one step at a time, which carried the growth of science and technology over the last 400 years. Its drive for new forms also brought new distractions, like the television age. Gate 16, the second arm of the cross, is the gate of skills, with a collective need to share them. In 2027 that focus on detail and skills fades as a background. Your own Gate 9 or 16 keeps working as before.

This is not a fact, not medical advice and not a promise of healing. It is part of the cosmology Ra Uru Hu, who founded Human Design, left behind, and nobody knows exactly how it will unfold.
