Podcast Description
Welcome to Nine Centered, the New School of Human Design Podcast: Where we have grounded conversations on Design, Deconditioning, and life through a nine centered lens.
This is a space for conversations that bring clarity, practicality, and embodiment. We dive deep into the real experiment of living your design, asking critical questions, challenging 7 centered narratives, and exploring new insights in the system that have emerged from years of lived experience.
This isn’t pop HD, and it’s not the pedantic legacy approach—it’s The New School of Human Design.

In this episode, Teresa and James explore the coming shift from the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, expected around 2027. They frame this as an evolutionary change in the background frequency that shapes society, technology, and spirituality.
The Cross of Planning (current era)
Gates 37 • 40 • 9 • 16
Themes: community bargains, collectivism, marriage and religious contracts, rapid technological growth, push-and-pull between collective and tribal priorities.
We are still in the First-Line phase that favors investigation, security seeking, and top-down authority.
The Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix (post-2027)
Gates 59 • 55 • 20 • 34
Themes: individualism, self-sufficiency, embodiment, changing sexuality, and a somatic approach to healing.
- The cycle starts in a 6th line phase that highlights authenticity, role-model energy, and personal self-expression.
Embodiment vs. Disembodiment
- Expect a widening gap between people committed to living in their bodies and those opting for increasingly virtual lives.
- Somatic awareness and nervous-system regulation become essential tools for healing in a tech-driven world.
Evolving Gender and Relationships
- Traditional gender roles keep dissolving, pointing toward a more androgynous future.
- Partnerships shift from static “bargains” to fluid arrangements that honor differentiation and personal truth.
New-Era Tribalism
- Classic tribes held together by obligation are fading.
- Communities of shared interest and mutual self-reliance rise, supporting connection without codependency
- Organized religion, tightly linked to the Cross of Planning, continues to wane.
- Mysticism re-emerges through fresh channels (watch the 54-32) as seekers pursue direct experience outside formal institutions.
Power and Conflict (34-20 channel)
- Potential spikes in aggression and geopolitical tension sit side-by-side with opportunities for bold, charismatic leadership.
Navigating the Noise
- Rapid tech advances will blur fact and fiction.
- Teresa and James stress leaning on inner authority, embodied knowing, and honest community rather than doomsday narratives.
Understanding these themes can help you prepare for social shifts, deepen personal embodiment practices, and anchor decisions in your own authority as the collective terrain changes.
