**Rudolf Zipkes** (April 28, 1911 – April 3, 2013) was a distinguished Swiss jurist, author, and astrologer, whose life and work were profoundly shaped by his Human Design profile as a Generator with Emotional Inner Authority. Born into a Jewish family in Zürich, Zipkes demonstrated the natural responding ability characteristic of Generators, allowing him to navigate life’s challenges and opportunities with grace and resilience.

After graduating from the gymnasium in Berlin in 1930, where his father worked as an engineer, Zipkes pursued his studies in law. He returned to Zürich, completing his Dr. jur. in 1934. His commitment to his work at the Zürich courts until his retirement at age 65 in 1976 exemplified the Generator’s capacity for sustained effort and dedication. Guided by his Emotional Inner Authority, Zipkes made decisions that resonated deeply with his feelings, enabling him to adeptly navigate the complex legal and social landscapes of his time.

Throughout his life, Zipkes was actively engaged in various organizations, reflecting his Generator energy and desire to contribute meaningfully to his community. He served as president of the complaint commission of Swiss cinemas and was a board member of the Jewish Association of Zürich. His leadership extended to presiding over the archive of Jewish history and art, showcasing his commitment to preserving and understanding Jewish culture.

In 1941, he published *Jüdische Selbstkritik*, a significant work that explored Jewish self-criticism and policies, noted for its anti-Zionist perspective. His writings on Jewish political issues and biographies further highlighted his intellectual depth, and in 2005, he released his autobiography *Gelebtes Leben*, where he integrated his astrological insights and personal experiences, reflecting the 6/2 profile of his Human Design. This profile indicates a journey of becoming a role model and teacher, often using his life experiences to guide others.

Zipkes’s channels, including 61-24 and 28-38, contributed to his profound insights and emotional depth, allowing him to connect with others on a meaningful level. His Incarnation Cross, the Left Angle Cross of Alignment (27/28 | 19/33), further emphasized his role in aligning with the needs of others while navigating his own emotional landscape.

Married to his wife from 1962 until her passing in 2003, Zipkes lived a rich and fulfilling life, passing away in Zürich at nearly 102 years old. His legacy as a jurist, author, and astrologer continues to inspire those interested in the intersection of law, culture, and personal development through the lens of Human Design. Rudolf Zipkes remains a testament to the power of responding to life with emotional awareness and the importance of guiding others through shared experiences.
