WHAT IS GATE 8 IN HUMAN DESIGN?

Gate 8 in Human Design is called the gate of holding together or ‘contribution’ which is all about;

• sharing and contributing your gifts + authentic voice

• embodying your full expression as who you are

• publicly showcasing your unique and “novel” style

• challenging the status quo; going on the path less travelled

Essentially being the ‘vocal rebel’ and doing things your way to better serve the collective with your unique essence.

Seated in the throat center, Gate 8 turbo-charges your self expression so that you > articulate with ease + express with style whatever is unique about you!

You model what authentic living means (cue: non-conformity) and how it serves and benefits all.

Gate 8 in the Throat is connected to the Gate 1 of Creativity in the G center and together they form the channel of Inspiration (1 - 8)

Fun Fact: Sarting from Gate 23 (the previous transit), we are in a season of throat center gates, with the Sun moving through 7 of 11 throat center gates (all the way up to the solstice mid June).

What this means for you is an amplified voice, being in action mode (the throat is the center for doing + speaking) and more energy to up-level your message.

GENE KEY 8 SHADOW AND GIFT

THE SHADOW OF gene key 8 is mediocrity

Which is about the fear of being different which prevents you from rising out of the mass consciousness. This shadow can compel you to conform to only one (widely accepted) way of being aka mediocrity.

Mediocrity can either manifest as living in an artificial expression of yourself > not being who you truly are, in an attempt to belong and feel secure.

OR, it can manifest as compromise and the lack of fire or desire for life > giving up your passions to fit in and maintain the status quo.

THE GIFT OF gene key 8 IS style

Which is about bringing something fresh and unique to the world and expressing your true (at times rebellious) nature.

True Style is found in the marketplace, living as an example of a true rebellious human being, unchained by external definitions, and unfettered by conditioning, ancestral or cultural.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways

The journey from shadow to gift happens through

• the "natural flowering of your individuality" without concern for what others may think or say

• being the spontaneous and adventurous risk-taker, and breaking the chains of mediocrity

And this is how you manifest your dreams, make things happen and operate at a higher frequency. YAAAS!

THE CHANNEL OF INSPIRATION 1 - 8

Gate 8 in the throat center connects to Gate 1 in the G Center which forms the channel of inspiration (of the Creative Role Model). The creative expression and the ‘originality’ of Gate 1 gets processed and expressed via Gate 8.

It’s a projected channel which means, in alignment with the Projector energy, when you’re recognized and/or invited your power will be amplified.

People with the channel of inspiration 1 - 8 have the quality to direct others toward individuality and innovation.

They attract attention through their magnetism by displaying what they believe in (values) and how they do things their way (lifestyle). That’s the perfect definition of an influencer persona.

Which brings me to the marketing side of things 👇

✔️ 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!
