A Gene Keys Programming Partner is when a Gene Key is directly opposite another Gene Key on the Astrology Wheel. In a Gene Keys chart, an example of a Programming Partner is always the Life’s Work and the Evolution. Another example of a Programming Partner is a person’s chart is always the Purpose and the Radiance. In Human Design a set of Programming Partners make up the Incarnation Cross. One Programming Partner is the Conscious Sun and the Conscious Earth. Another Programming Partner is the Unconscious Sun and the Unconscious Earth. There are 32 different programming partners.
These 32 Programming Partners create themes or personality traits. Each Human Design Gate or Gene Key has a Programming Partner. It can be helpful to look at the Programming Partner of Gene Keys in your chart. Because Programming Partners are opposite energies, they create what is called an opposition in Astrology which creates resistance. It can also be the energy that balances you and gives you insights into what you may need to create more balance in your life.
In the example above, you can see that the Conscious Sun/Life’s Work is Gene Key 33.2 and the Conscious Earth/Evolution is Gene Key 19.2. In the list below you can see Gene Key 33 and 19 are programming partners. In the Human Design Mandala with the Astrology Wheel, you can see that Gene Key 19 is Aquarius and Gene Key 33 is Leo. These energies are opposite each other on the Astrology Wheel. This shows they are opposing energies. Aquarius is an Air Sign in Astrology and Leo is a Fire sign in Astrology. Fire can’t live without Air, but Air can also blow out Fire. They oppose each other but can also balance each other when the energy is used correctly.
