Passionate independent Mars brings a very different energy to harmonious Venus. Is it reaching towards a defined Gate? Is it the missing link between two Centres?Įach planet brings it’s own flavour to the Gate it activates. If a Gate is white in your design, it may still be playing an active part. Consider how each Gate functions, rather than only seeing the activated Gates. That activation can be conscious (Personality/Black) or unconscious (Design/Red). You have every Gate in your design, and each Gate can be activated by a planet, or not. The Gates show where your flow is consistent and reliable, and where you are always being influenced, or conditioned, by others. There’s a reason your Human Design chart is sometimes called a BODYGRAPH – it’s a blueprint of how energy flows through your field. Your Gates show the flow of energy around your Design, and in your actual field. Your design is a subtle multidimensional map of your energy field, and each Gate has it’s part to play in that whole. You can’t consider the meaning of a Gate in isolation. And by the Centres at each end of the channel. The meaning of each gate is influenced by the other Gate in the channel. The positions of the gates is fixed and is the same in all charts.Įach Human Design Gate connects to another Gate to form a Channel. Gate 1 is always in the G Centre.Īnd Gate 52 is always in the Root Centre. The Human Design Gates don’t move around in the chart. So you can pick up any I Ching book and read something about your design there. Gate 1 in the Human Design System is the same as Hexagram 1 in the I Ching.

The 64 gates of the Human Design System relate directly to the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. In conventional Human Design you can use the standard keywords for each gate, but you’ll be missing out on a wealth of meaning that you can uncover if you dig just a bit deeper. Have you ever wondered about the meaning of the Human Design gates? It’s one of the most challenging areas of your Human Design to understand, because the meaning of each gate is incredibly complex, and then you have to make sense of it within the context of the rest of your Design.
