Gate 17: Cosmic Content Code:
path to possibility
As I write this post, Gate 17 is stationed in the Sun position in the transits (which happens around last week of March). For deeper insights on Gate 17 frequency, visit my YouTube Channel and watch the latest “Cosmic Content Code” episode here:
In Human Design, Gate 17 is called the gate of ‘opinions’ and is the tendency to filter world through one’s inner truth/logic/principles. Sitting in the Ajna Center, this gate helps formulate logical opinions based on a bigger picture which are then shared in hopes of furthering human evolution.
In my Cosmic Content Codes, I call gate 17, “Path to Possibility” which is all about the value of learning from the past and then using it as stimulus to imagine new possibilities. It means arriving at concepts (opinions) which move the world forward. It’s very future-oriented energy and adept at creating/spotting possibility in past patterns.
Gate 17 gives us all the power to tap into our innate logic to paint the big picture of possibilities. When sharing logical opinions with a mindset of win-win for all, you make others see the limitless possibilities of whatever is achievable to them by sharing your firm stance/viewpoint.
The 17 people are very discerning when it comes to seeing inconsistencies in systems or logic and are quite vocal in expressing their concerns. But this is rooted in betterment of future for everyone.
17 can take in various details (from Gate 62 - channel 17-62), raw data or diverse point of views to effectively formulate complete opinions which stand the test of time or criticism. This is like becoming an oracle by using the power of logic to synthesize possible solutions in order to be of service to the world.
✔️ If you want to learn how to work with this energy in tandem with your type, profile, strategy & authority to build your magnetism then the custom Human Design for Marketing reading report is for you!
The shadow of gate 17 OPINIONS
The shadow of this gene key is about being overly opinionated or judgemental. This manifests as rigid dogma when logic is used as an isolated, narrow point of view and not used to see the whole picture. This can become very divisive and can create a disconnect from ourselves and others.
On the other hand, gift of this gate, Far-sightedness is about moving beyond opinion and not getting fixated on a narrow view or one single logic. Being open to diverse possibilities and subjectiveness of reality.
The shift from shadow to gift happens when mind is connected to super consciousness and does not draw from individual or collective ego. This way, the opinions formed and shared have universal principles and divine wisdom as their foundation.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A GATE 17 BRAND
If you have Gate 17 in your Personality Sun (or Mercury), you are a brand with a gift for structuring communication logically to influence others to see the bigger picture (potentiality). Your often provocative words can help make the impossible attainable, bringing pictures to life.
As a gate 17 brand, you are a powerhouse of mental activity, influencing how we form and express our opinions to the world. Your brand is all about fostering visionary thinking and innovative marketing strategies.
Yours is a brand story that illustrates the importance of developing your own opinion whilst also being open to others. Your journey highlights the value of learning from the past and then using it as stimulus to imagine new possibilities. With your ability of far-sightedness, you provoke new ways of looking at things.
When it comes to positioning your offers, make sure you own your influencer persona and the role of a forward thinker. Confidently communicate personal opinions to influence people becoming inspired rather than victim of their past.
HOW THE BACKGROUND FREQUENCY OF GATE 17 IMPACTS THE POTENTIAL FOR YOUR MARKETING RESONANCE
No matter the niche you’re in, as a coach, healer, network, or digital marketer, your clients/customers are looking for help. They especially need help when they are unable to see their potential and are stuck in victimhood.
When the Sun (or Mercury) is in Gate 17, share stories of potential, possibility and future-proofing solutions. You can use prompts like #imo or #unpopularPOV to start conversations.
