HUMAN DESIGN GATES LIBRARY
What are Gates, Channels and Centers in Human Design
In Human Design, the 64 gates are energetic themes derived from the I Ching’s 64 hexagrams. These gates represent distinct archetypal energies or traits that influence how we think, feel, and interact with the world.
They are mapped onto the Human Design chart, corresponding to specific energy centers and pathways called channels.
HUMAN DESIGN GATES, CHANNELS AND CENTERS
Defined vs. Undefined Gates:
Defined Gates: Highlight consistent, fixed energies you express in your life. They show traits or skills you can rely on as a stable part of your personality and actions. Represented by colored-in circles.
Undefined Gates: Represent energies you absorb and amplify from your environment and others. They are areas of potential wisdom and adaptability but can also show conditioning or external influence. Represented by white circles.
How Gates Function:
Activation: Each gate is either dormant or active, depending on planetary placements at the time of your birth. An active gate might reveal specific patterns in your thinking, feeling, or behavior.
Channels and Centers: When two gates connect, they form a channel, uniting two energy centers and influencing how energy flows within your design. Individual gates, even without forming channels, still have a potent standalone impact.
