Gate 19 is a Root gate of extreme sensitivity — to hunger, to wanting, to the basic needs that make us animals before we're anything else. You feel what other people need, sometimes before they do. The pressure is to respond to those needs, which can be beautiful when correct and exhausting when it becomes a habit of meeting needs that aren't yours to meet.
