The Emotional Wave in Human Design

In Human Design, the Emotional Center (Solar Plexus) is the most powerful motor in the body, meaning it generates energy that moves in waves. This energy isn’t static—it fluctuates, rising and falling in emotional cycles.

If your Solar Plexus is defined, you have an emotional authority, meaning you’re here to make decisions based on emotional clarity over time, not in the heat of the moment. If it’s undefined, you absorb and amplify the emotions of those around you.

Why Understanding Emotional Waves Matters

Many of us have been conditioned to believe we should always be in a “good mood” or that we need to “fix” our emotions when they shift. But emotions are meant to move! Learning to ride your wave instead of resisting it allows for greater self-trust, patience, and emotional awareness.

The Seven Emotional Waves & Their Patterns

39-55 (The Passion Wave) – A deep, creative wave tied to feelings of hope and despair. Those with this wave experience powerful emotional highs and lows, often without a clear reason. Creativity flows in the low, and breakthroughs happen in surrender.

22-12 (The Mood Wave) – This wave is all about social and emotional expression. It moves between feeling highly engaged and needing deep solitude. If you have this wave, honor your moods and communicate them to others.

59-6 (The Intimacy Wave) – A wave that moves between openness and emotional barriers. It governs intimacy, reproduction, and relationships. One moment, there’s a deep need for connection, and the next, space is essential.

49-19 (The Sensitivity Wave) – This wave is about emotional needs, boundaries, and revolution. It fluctuates based on whether needs are met and can create strong reactions when emotional security is threatened.

37-40 (The Community Wave) – This wave is deeply tied to relationships, commitment, and belonging. It moves between feelings of connection and the need for independence. Recognizing these shifts prevents unnecessary relationship strain.

41-30 (The Anticipation Wave) – A highly charged wave full of emotional desire, riding between excitement and frustration. Those with this wave are visionaries, always anticipating what’s next, which can create emotional highs when expectations are met and lows when they aren't.

35-36 (The Experience Wave) – A restless wave that seeks new experiences and adventure. People with this wave thrive on change but may feel emotional lows of boredom or disappointment when reality doesn’t match the excitement they imagined.

How to Work With Your Emotional Wave

1️⃣ Give Yourself Time – Emotional clarity comes with time, so avoid making big decisions in emotional highs or lows.

2️⃣ Observe, Don’t Attach – Your emotions don’t define you. Notice them without judgment.

3️⃣ Communicate Your Wave – Let those around you know that your moods fluctuate naturally.

4️⃣ Create Space for Emotional Processing – Journaling, meditation, and creative outlets can help you move through waves with more ease.
