what are the gates in human design?

  • The Gates in a Human Design body graph represent the gifts, talents, motivations, energetics, or drives that are consistently available to us. If you DO NOT have a gate activated or colored, it doesn’t mean you never have access to that energy. It just means it’s not reliable or constant energy in your life.
  • Everyone has the potential for 26 individual gates to be activated in their bodygraph chart; however, if you look closely, you may find that some gates appear multiple times in the two columns on either side of the chart. This is a common occurrence.
  • There are 64 Gates in a bodygraph chart, and each gate has a theme that is related to the 64 I Ching hexagrams. If you would like a deeper understanding of the gates, I highly recommend deep diving into the Chinese I Ching hexagrams.
  • Lastly, it is worth noting that there are MANY layers to all aspects of the chart, including the gates. This article is intended to be a high-level summary.

how the gates can show up energetically in our lives

  • We can use the energy of a gate in a positive or negative way toward ourselves and/ or other people.
  • We may embody the energy with lack and/or fear, or we can embody the energy with truth and abundance.
  • Because of external conditioning, we have encountered, we may shy away from the energy and choose NOT to see it as a part of ourselves. We may not want to embrace it; we may instead shut it down.

what does a black line vs. a red line vs. a striped line mean? 

  • Black Lines represent gifts that we are likely more conscious and aware of.
  • Red Lines represent gifts that we are likely less conscious of and aware of.
  • Striped (both black and red) lines represent gifts that are both conscious and unconscious.
