How to know if you have Gate 27 activated in your bodygraph chart
- Go to myhumandesign.com and go to “Get Your Chart”.
- Input your birth details including birth day, birth time, birth location.
- NOTE – Information in the bodygraph chart is VERY sensitive to birth time so it is important to have an accurate birth time if possible.
- Look at the Sacral Energy Center which is the second square up from the bottom of the chart. If Gate 27 has a circle around it with a colored line coming from it this means this energy is activated or consistently available to you.
What are the Gates in Human Design?
- The Gates in a Human Design body graph chart 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 a 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 you have gates appearing 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 Life
- We can use the energy of a gate in a positive or negative way towards 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 and shut it down instead.
What does a Black Line vs. a Red Line vs a Striped Line Indicate?
- Black Lines represent gifts that we are likely more conscious and aware of.
- Red Lines represent gifts that we are likely less conscious and aware of.
- Striped (both black and red) lines represent gifts that are both conscious and unconscious.

Gate 27 – Gate of Caring
Gate 27 lives in the Sacral Energy Center which is a motor center – it is designed to respond and generate life force.
High Expression of Gate 27
- The energy of this gate is about giving for the sake of it and not expecting anything in return. Giving from a place of altruism.
- You have a natural ability to care for and nourish yourself and others.
- This energy is all about maintaining and enhancing the quality of life through the power to care for the weak, the sick and the young. You know how to take care of people.
- Being aware of your own energy levels and only caring from others when you have the energy to do so.
Challenge Side of Gate 27
- Giving or caring too much – to the point of self-sacrifice and impacting health in a negative way.
- We must care for ourselves first in order to have the energy and resources to care for others. Prioritize self-care and protect your own energy.
- Only giving or caring for others if you expect you will get something in return.
- Being selfish.
The Channel of Preservation – Gate 27’s partnership with Gate 50
- Gate 27 knows when it is energetically correct to care for others and looks to Gate 50 for instinctive awareness on when to set healthy boundaries around the natural need to care for others.
Is Gate 27 your “Personality Sun Gate”?
What is a Personality Sun Gate?
- Personality Sun Gate is the top number located in the Personality Side of the chart. If you are looking at the bodygraph chart you will see two columns on either side. The column on the right is the Personality side. The number at the top is your Personality Sun Gate.
- Many say that your Personality Sun Gate is 70% of your energy – it is the thing you are here to do and share with the world. The energies of this gate will be expressed throughout your life journey and the work you choose to do.
- It is worth noting that we often see our Personality Sun Gate as a flaw earlier in life and then later embrace it as a gift.
Gate 27 as your Personality Sun Gate
- If Gate 27 is your Personality Sun Gate it means that your ability to care for others and give without expecting something in return will be a theme in your life and work. If you lean into your strategy and authority, you will naturally bring this gift into the things you are passionate about. The way this energy will express itself will be unique to you.
