Human Design Gates

You need to express yourself in your own way, without interference from others. Sometimes you won't even know why or how, but creativity and a unique sense of style just comes through you and you express yourself differently from everyone around you. You can sometimes be uncertain of your life's direction and yet in the moment, you can also express yourself at the perfect time to draw the attention of others.

However, at other times, people may think your eccentricity is just you being awkward, but you know differently. You know you are here to be different, especially when it comes to moving in your own direction in life.

You have an inbuilt inner direction. Trust that direction. It will lead you towards beauty and harmony. Don't try to work it out. Don't try to control it according to your mind. Simply be open to your own natural tendency to follow a path that can lead you towards beauty and harmony and away from dissonance and atrophy.

You may well try many different directions in your life, depending on the backing you have to follow any particular path.

You have the quality of being someone who is really different. You are unique, but your uniqueness shows itself more prominently than many others. Some part of you will never fit into the 'world view' of how it is and how it should be.

You can be energetically confused in not knowing what you want to do, until you do know. It is helpful for you to understand that in order for you to really be happy, you will need to respond to bringing something new into the world. This response can be felt when your energy rises up to the challenge of making something that already exists different in some way, using your energy to make something happen that has never happened before.

You have a wonderful analytical side to your mind which understands things by projecting them forward in time according to certain logical principles. It can be great at providing answers to people's doubts about the future.

However, don't believe that any of your answers are solutions for you. They are not. They may be very clever formulas for 'success'. They may even be smart riddles that make others smile, but still they are not necessarily something that remains true in the 'real' world.

Untested theories don't become facts no matter how fervently you profess them. It is important to understand that the right answer at the wrong time is the wrong answer. Sometimes it is not answers others need, but simply someone to listen to their dilemmas, even if you think their focus in unreasonable.

Notice how you consistently bring people into your established patterns of doing things. Pay attention to your natural rhythm and fix it in your life.

You are designed to avoid people and situations that may conflict with your own natural tempo. You have your own timing, your own natural habits that should not be interfered with. Those who try to 'change' you and try to get you to fit in with their timing, will meet a great deal of resistance from you.

Don't deviate from your natural rhythm. Your energy demands you live in your own flow.

You have a complex emotional energy that can generate powerful emotional feelings. Some people you will resonate strongly with, and others you may feel are against you. You do not fear or avoid emotional conflict since sometimes it's your way of communicating how much you love someone by releasing your feelings in a confrontational way. Love can be a complicated business for you.

Understand that you will feel different things about something or someone over time. Do not judge it. This is not a matter of reason it is about the power of your emotional energy. You have a certain amount of control as to whether you allow someone in or not but can misjudge it if you act too quickly.

The awareness behind this emotional aspect in you reaches out to connect to a meaningful intimacy with others. Your ability to emotionally connect to others is not something everyone has the capacity to relate to.

You are here to demonstrate a prescribed path in the way we march into the future. This includes an awareness of the different levels and hierarchies that exists on the way to a better future.

This logical aspect in your chart contains an awareness of procedures, sequences and what the correct order is in order to move yourself to the favored future. You may have thoughts along the following lines: Who goes first? What is the next logical step? If we do this then we need to do that in order to get there. What goes up must come down. What needs to come down in order for us to rise up to the next level? And so on.

You identify with being one of those people who may consciously lead others in the best way you know to live, if you were in their situation.

You have a natural urge to contribute to others. Whether this is helping another person or helping a group of people, you can bring a new element to the mix and give it selflessly. It is this aspect of you that says: "I can" help you, "I can" do it, "I can" find a person who will be the missing key – whatever it may be.

Now whether you can or not make a unique contribution to others often depends upon the timing. Just because you want to make a contribution and can say "I can" doesn't mean you actually can. And if you 'can't' then you're in trouble. So realize that when you say you can do something, others will probably ask you to prove that you can.

You have within you the ability to focus your attention and the energy to focus on the small details. But what you focus on and how and when, are the questions that can impede you.

You may have a natural response to focus on details, but the question is 'For how long?' Will your attention waver over time? Will you become distracted? It all depends on your ability to discern a pattern in whatever you focus on. By discerning the pattern, no matter how detailed, you can bring all of your attention to bear upon it through a natural inherent response.

There is a built-in necessity to love yourself enough to behave according to your inherent nature. You are here to have your behavior reflect who and where you are. To be able to be oneself with contentment and yet to know how the social games are played, is a definite advantage to enjoying your life. There is no end to hierarchies and everyone has their place. You know how to behave. It may annoy you when others do not.

On the other hand, in loving yourself through behaving individualistically, you will not tolerate others trying to influence your behavior away from your inherent knowing of who you are. Allow yourself to behave appropriately as the circumstances change and acknowledge how so doing protects you. At the same time, you are here to remain centered in your own integrity even if that means being defiant to the social norms when the occasion demands it.

You can be deeply appreciated as a teacher who makes boring subjects interesting. You have endless ideas. All of them seeking expression; All of them wanting to be shared with others. So many ideas with such a diversity of possible expressions; Like a stream of abstract visuals that change so quickly, sometimes it can be difficult to get the words out fast enough.

Remember that your ideas are just ideas, they are not necessarily based in facts and therefore may not lead to action in reality, no matter how compelling. Don't allow your mind to take you into trying to live a fantasy. However, as a source of reflection, they can be invaluable and birth all kinds of philosophies and dramatic works.

This characteristic in your Design is potentially highly mutative. You have the ability to articulate something in a totally unique and catalytic way. Through this 'voice' can come incredible music and poetry, it can express a new way of connecting with others at a deep and meaningful level. When connected to Gate 22 in the Emotional Centre this aspect in you can bring both passion and melodrama to the attention of others. It can be the outlet for the most sublime grace or the most outrageous disgrace in words or action.

It can also not speak or do anything. It carries a social cautiousness and is inherently moody. Its voice is "I'll Try" or not, depending upon whether the spirit is appropriate in the moment. Social interaction is always a risk whereas aloneness can often be a relief and allows for inwardly creative knowing to blossom.

You have a natural empathy that attracts people who want to share with you their experiences. You will hear many secrets from people. They come up and they tell you their stories and they often tell you their negative experiences, the things that have happened to them in their life that have been damaging in some way.

Others see you as someone who will listen to them, there is nothing you can do about it. From their side they may say "I don't know why I'm telling you this, I don't normally share this with anyone".

You gradually attain a valuable perspective by reflecting upon your memories of what you have heard and become extremely valuable in providing others with a direction on how best to proceed their life.

With this powerful aspect in your Design you have a tendency to really want to use your energy in service to what is truly original. You love to empower people and give energy to new projects, creative endeavors and original visions.

You especially enjoy encouraging people to go their own way. You know yourself how an encouraging 'pep' talk, at the right time can make all the difference when you don't know which direction to go in and don't know whether you can bring your unique magic out into the world.

However you can also become deeply frustrated when you try to push towards where your mind (rather than your Sacral response) wants you to go. Over time you come to the awareness that throwing money or energy at something that is not taking off is never a good thing.

You will likely be living out extreme aspects to your character, which you insist on upholding. For example, you may work flat out for 3 days and then do nothing for 4 days. You can be very disturbed by those who would have you be any other way and will resist being tied to anyone else's timing.

With this aspect you can have an extreme aspect to your character, which you insist on upholding. You can be very disturbed by those who would have you be any other way. You are attracted to those who also behave in an equally extreme and forthright way.

This can lead to a natural love of many of the world's cultures where what may be deemed extreme in one country, is considered to be quite normal in another.

This is the Gate that expresses its enthusiasm to experiment. Without the 48th Gate it does not have the consistent depth awareness necessary to do whatever it would like to do, but it does contain the skills, discernment and critical ability to be able to use the information, techniques and modalities from those with the depth logical solutions.

It is also a Gate of identification, your identifying with something you love will bring the right people to you. You can hear the quality of enthusiasm in your voice for something when you speak. You have the ability to follow this enthusiasm up with identifying with whatever it is you want to master and thereby enter into practicing repeatedly in order to reach a high level of performance.

The Gate of Opinions. This conceptualising mental attribute seeks to find a clear conceptual framework to house theories or formulas that are of interest or useful. It does this through mentally sorting these theories into a cohesive pattern that can eventually be expressed.

This creates many opinions, which have to be able to withstand the criticism of others who may challenge them. For them each to be valid, they have to be tested and proven through experimentation in the real world.

Although you may share your opinion, you can never be free from the mental anxiety that people will either not want to listen to it, or can refute it through factual data or direct experience in which case, it can be undermined or shown to be irrelevant.

The Gate Correction brings you a penetrating critical eye to perceive what should be corrected.

This gives you a natural joy in challenging authority. Initially such authorities would be your parents, but later on it can be anyone in authority who you think is not doing a good job qualifies as a ripe subject for your scrutiny. You can see what's wrong in almost any pattern. You can't help but see spelling and textual punctuation mistakes in text or where figures don't add up.

Being a natural critic can have it's ups and downs. If your keen awareness of what is imperfect and can be improved is directed at repairing, cleaning or disposing of whatever gets in the way of living a more vital life, then you can be a life-saver for people or institutions that have become stagnant, stuck or broken. But the key is to apply this critical awareness in an impersonal way for the good of all.

The Gate of Wanting in your chart implies that you can experience a conscious pressure to make sure your needs and those of your community are met. This can lead to an awareness of the people who can meet the needs and a highly emotional and physical sensitivity to how best approach others. If you feel very needy, you can get flustered or flirty around those whom you feel can satisfy those needs, whether they be sexual or material.

As well as the fuel for social needs, this aspect of you is may also be deeply spiritual. The need for the community and yourself to be well fed also includes spiritual nourishment by being connected to a power beyond yourself.

This Gate of the Now speaks or acts in the moment as an expression of being existentially authentic with what is present.

With this aspect you have a purely existential and conscious side to your nature, which can bring you into the moment. When you are operating in the now, what happened in the past doesn't matter and whatever happens in the future is irrelevant. The Now requires you to be appropriate with yourself, in terms of being authentic with what is present.

The way this aspect in you operates in its expression depends upon your specific Design. It is the conduit for intuition to express its awareness with a penetrating perception. It can "hit the nail on the head" with precise timing. Whether this brings forth a statement of superficial humour that delights those around you or a profound multi-levelled awareness of reality at it's deepest dimensions, depends upon your Design and the moment itself.

You are designed to be in control, pure and simple. You have a will that is a powerful controlling force. It is right that you have control because you bring a balance to the proceedings with this powerful aspect within you.

The control you bring is not for purely selfish reasons. By being in a position of authority, you bring balance to the community or business that has recognised your ability to put an end to unnecessary interference by unruly or ineffective people.

If you are in service to the right people or organisation they will see the benefits you can bring, by laying down and wilfully enforcing the necessary ground rules when it comes to the distribution and maintenance of resources.

This characteristic brings a remarkable emotional depth, which can deal with mundane interactions gracefully and with the potential to express your emotional spirit in music, art, poetry and all kinds of artistic endeavours.

With this moody, emotional aspect in your Design you have an inherent ability to be incredibly attentive to others.

This aspect is a source of passionate emotion and as such can be enchantingly graceful, which can open others to allow something truly new into their awareness.

However, it all depends upon your mood. If light or ecstatic, then you can be wonderfully social and through your listening and your social grace you can connect deeply with the spirit of those around you. If your mood is dark, then you can feel anti-social and not be in the mood to speak to anyone. These are the times when you could disgrace yourself and create all kinds of humiliating scenes in public.

This aspect brings a very expressive aspect to your Design you have a very unique accent to your speaking voice. You will say "I know" or "I don't know", whether you do or not and whether you can express your knowing in words, or not.

If conscious this aspect endows you with the gift of potentially being able to bring new insights into the world. You can do this by assimilating the resistance from the accepted views and still be capable of having your new insight accepted as a possibility through clever explanation.

However, communication can be somewhat of a challenge for you. At times you may not even be able to say what you want to say and have it mean what you want it to mean. On other occasions, when you are successful at expressing yourself in your unique way, you can enrol others into whatever your new consideration may be.

You are born to mentally ponder upon how to fashion unique inspiration into a rational form that can be understood by others.

There are many things to ponder and you're just the one to do the repetitive pondering. Going over things again and again in your mind is natural for you with this unusual conceptual aspect in your Design.

Yes, it can be annoying for you when you hear a jingle or tune in your head that you can't get rid of, but that just comes with the territory. It's your way of rationalising a brand new inspiration, pondering upon the way to conceptualize it and move towards eventually being able to speak it.

This is deep in your mental awareness and it is not something that is necessarily ready to be spoken. If you can't rationalise the inspiration it could simply be absolute nonsense. If you are able to, then it could be the beginning of a genius idea or creative musical, poetic or artistic expression.

Also known as the Gate of Universal Love. It is a characteristic to your identity that has the potential to remain innocent despite circumstances.

It contains an inner, transcendent quality to your love that is evident in the innocence demonstrated in your behaviour as you can love even the inanimate as deeply as a human.

Part of the mystical circuit, it is also known as the Gate of the Shaman or Priestess - the Spiritual Warrior, for innocence is challenged by the harmonic Gate of Shock and is tested, wounded and sometimes scarred in its battle to enrich its spirit in knowing the magic of existence.

Part of the Centering Circuit it can withdraw inwardly into its innocent spirit in the moment and eventually heal from whatever shock it encounters. In that sense, it can also know how to help others to heal also. The key is to remain motiveless, attune to your Higher Knowing and come back to yourself.

Also known as the Trickster Gate, this aspect in your chart you have what it takes to make people listen to what you have to say. This wilful energy can be an admirable asset to any cause or organisation that needs to put its message out there.

If you have this characteristic constantly in your Design it means that it's in your nature to exaggerate. Many people may not stop and take notice of something unless it's brought to them in the extraordinary way that you can deliver it.

This Gate brings the world its best sales people. This Gate of the Liar or the Truth-Teller is best served in the promoting of a service, a cause or a product that you genuinely hold in high regard. As you are here to hold yourself in high regard, proud of who you are and what your willpower can achieve.

As a Generator or MG, you have the power to be care for others and not only to want to help them with their physical needs, but also to nourish their intelligence so they can look after themselves in the future.

But its important you don't sacrifice yourself in the process and realise that you also need to be cared for. You are naturally compassionate and often generous, but caring for others comes out of you caring for yourself first. This energy is only available to others if you have sufficient power yourself. Let this energy come out of you in response to what and who it is appropriate for you to care for in any given circumstance.

This is also a power to be social, to support your family members and whatever groups or teams you may belong to. As a Tribal Gate, caring and support often shows itself in wanting to share food and good vibes with others.

This Gate brings with it an inbuilt fear of death. There is one question that demands your attention: How do I make my life worthwhile? This is the concern that is consistently within you. You can have an inbuilt fear that your life might indeed be meaningless. Often this translates into pouring your energy into making sure that your life has Individual purpose to you. You want to live all of your potential and in that endeavour alleviate the 'fear of death' by mutating it into more a fear of not living your life as fully as possible.

This fear can drive you to take risks which you intuitively feel can give your life purpose and is worth the struggle that may ensue in such risk-taking. This awareness potential within you enables you to assess the risks involved in moving ahead with your life. The fear of lack of purpose can even make mundane things seem like a matter of life and death.

With this characteristic if you have it both consciously and consistently, you should remember this truth: 'Walking a road of a thousand miles begins with the first step'. You have within you the energy that wants to commit to a journey and it doesn't need to know where it will lead or what it will involve. This energy of commitment is an automatic 'Yes' in you.

However, because you have the power of commitment does not necessarily mean you know what to commit to. If you wait until your energy responds powerfully to making the commitment then you will be able to persevere.

If you follow your expectations, then when they are dashed and the road becomes harder, you may simply turn back. This characteristic in you may lead you to try many things and often give up on them, because they didn't meet your expectations. It can lead to crushing disappointment and a loss of time and resources.

This can be recognised in your constant longing for a new experience.

You have an emotional characteristic in your Design that is always conscious which is a part of who you truly are. You can recognise it by identifying with your constant longing for a new experience that you haven't tried before. It can be a feeling that rises up in anticipation that drives you towards the experience and it can haunt you if you don't have the desire filled.

This emotional characteristic is always subject to the ebb and flow of your emotional wave. What rises up in expectation can crash down in disappointment or emptiness when the experience is over. Then this emotional desire for the new experience can hook onto the next thing and the hunger rises up once again, like an emotional ache that just won't go away until the desire has been fulfilled through some experience.

This gives you an inherent rational and reassuring quality in the way you speak. It can convey a logical path for others to follow in order to receive benefit in the future. This can be influential when you are invited to share your views and beneficial when you are focus on helping others rather than for purely self-interest.

The voice is for verbal manifestation rather than action, the influence comes from the intonation and the prescribed direction that it points to in a clear and understandable way. If those you speak to agree with your rationale then they may well follow it, hence the leadership can result in action through being accepted. You have a natural ease in the way you talk and include yourself as one of those whom you seek to lead.

Your ability to gain influence and maintain it depends upon your statesmanship or stateswomanship, since well-crafted phrases, are tested along the road to the future when problems, situations and facts unknown at the beginning become apparent.

This brings with it a naturally conservative aspect to your nature and your natural instincts are to keep everything on track no matter what is going on. You know that things can change and you can always have your awareness fixed on how those changes may affect your life or your business.

You have a nose for locating people who show great potential and could be of value in being able to transform your business or your life in a positive way. This awareness of the special talent that's out there in addition to your keen ability to evaluate it's potential, can make you a shrewd business person to acquire assets at the right price. You have, in this sense, the instincts of a good financial manager.

You may have an innate fear of failure. In realizing that continuity is important, the fear can be that your health, your business or your relationship may not last.

This implies that it is in your nature to be reflective and not rush into things until you've had time to reflect upon what has already happened. This gift of overview with this consistent characteristic in your Design is sorely needed in the world. As a result of your good memory of past lessons, much unnecessary nonsense can be avoided.

It is good for you to enjoy your privacy and be on your own. You have within you the gift of being able to stop the world from impinging upon you. You can create time to be alone and reflect before you embark upon another adventure.

When sharing with others, you are more likely to be aware of what you tell people and what you don't. You may reveal secrets or not, depending upon your experience of witnessing people and how much you should really tell this or that person.

This indicates that you have a great deal of raw power within you, which endows you with a natural confidence. This power is exclusively for you! It is for you to survive in the world as a unique being, who is not influenced or interfered with by others. This raw power, which empowers your deep individuality, is the foundation of what has enabled human beings to be at the top of the food tree.

However, this power also comes with the deep frustration of dealing with whatever might get in your way. At times you simply need to release the power in order to feel you are still yourself. Know that there will always be a part of you that is unavailable to others. Don't let yourself be used for your power and led down someone else's road.

When you can live truly as yourself, you will discover you have great power to bring action to 'mere' words and the resulting consequences to your life and the lives of others.

This shows that you need to have new experiences in your life, especially during your younger years. It is in your very nature to want to progress down all of life's diverse pathways. You have an inbuilt hunger for action, for change, for something you haven't yet experienced. One of the signs of this may be your love of travel.

As time goes by, you may regard yourself as a 'Jack (or Jane) of all Trades, and master of none'. After all, you may be able to do a great many things as a result of all the experiences you've had, but you are designed to want to move onto the next thing.

You can gather a great deal of practical experience along the way and you can choose to share your experiences as stories with others, in addition to being a teacher to show people how they can best experience some of the things you have experienced.

This can bring you emotionally destabilising times as you feel through its abstract Pain and Hope cyclic wave. Arriving at points of painful despair, if there is no 35th Gate to release the feelings, you have to endure them until the wave continues its journey towards Hope once more. This is emotional growth through experience, and wisdom comes with maturity.

You carry a great desire to release your feelings and you can do this by having new experiences. You can create within you an enormous emotional energy that has you ready to jump from into experiences you've never had before.

This can is an emotional energy that runs through you, which is full of expectation for experience, whether it be sexual, emotional or simply exciting.

This characteristic in your chart means it is natural for you to be affectionate and supportive of others you regard as your 'family' or 'tribe'.

As in a family, bargains are made and support given but with the emotional expectation that it will be offered in return at a future time and should therefore be mutually beneficial. You can befriend people easily and often with the hope of making a mutually beneficial bargain with them sometime in the future. Everything is a negotiation for you. You want to trust that people will be loyal to the bargain that has been agreed upon, but broken promises also come as part of the package. As a result, you are likely to be aware of loyalty and treachery issues.

You may demonstrate this affectionate aspect with loving hugs, kisses and sensitive timely touches that you naturally offer in support of those friends who look like they may need some love in their lives.

This brings the adrenalized energy to oppose people and struggle with situations that stand in the way of you pursuing what is of purpose to you. You are a force to be reckoned with and have a power that makes you necessarily stubborn.

You can also be a catalyst for people to get in touch with what is meaningful for them when they rise to the challenge of dealing with you or face the possibility that there may be some truth behind why you are in opposition to them.

With your natural ability to oppose anything which may interfere with your struggle for purpose, there can be a great sense of achievement, when you eventually alter the course of events into a better alignment with your own trajectory. You can feel a surge of vitality when you enter into a worthy struggle for meaning in your life, whatever this may be for you.

This provocative characteristic, is rooted in teasing that seeks out the right emotional spirit to meld with. This powerful pressure can show itself by you poking others and pushing their 'buttons' with your provocations in order to get them to reveal their true emotional spirit.

You do this by saying or doing something that can be highly provocative. You can tell if they are for you, or not, by their reaction. If they can withstand your provocation and laugh, or simply ignore your obstructive behaviour and still be open to you, then they have the right spirit for you.

In this case, there can be the possibly of a romance that does not need to be sexual, but certainly can be. This provocative characteristic, that is consistent in you, is rooted in sweet romance and seeks out the right emotional spirit to meld with.

If in a Defined Will, this gives you the Will power to work and you can be an impressive 'bread winner' that loves to be the 'Deliverer' for those who are loyal to you, that provide you with genuine affection and good food.

However, at the end of the day, work for you is a bargain and how much you work will always be weighed against the pleasure of not working. It is your duty to provide for your loved ones and to not do so would betray your very essence. But, at the same time, you constantly weigh the fairness of the bargain and whether it's really worth it to you. Love is worth it, sex is worth it, accumulating enough money or sources of income so you don't have to work so hard, is also worth it.

But you really do not want to work too hard or for too long, for the Will, impressive as it is, needs its rest. To be alone with no demands from others is an essential part of a happy life for you.

This brings you a deep hunger to experience something new. It's can be the feeling that comes over you when you perceive there is a real potential of to do something you've never done before. This is the point where your imaginative fantasy can join with an emotional desire to live it out and experience the most wonderful feeling. You can feel just so excited.

Because of the pressure that can come from trying to make an imaginative possibility a reality, you may easily drift into fantasy and unrealistic expectations and the excitement can grow as a result. It is a human trait to imagine and feel in such a way, which can birth so much experience and lessons that can be learned along the way. Think about early aeronautics and the ridiculous, but imaginative, contraptions that were created by people who wanted to fly like the birds. They were crazy, wacky and wonderful but often disastrous in implementation.

This indicates that it's important for you to finish things. If you don't complete the cycles you commit to, you can burden yourself by carrying all the unfinished matters in the back of your mind, distracting you from the task in hand. Carrying such weight can be very draining.

If you commit to something that is not correct for you, then it will be difficult to complete it. Think about the relationships you've jumped into, based on a reason rather than a powerful energetic response that indicates you can sustain yourself through to finishing whatever it is you have genuinely responded to. Reasons are mental and responses are physical. A reason is simply not enough for you to be able to complete something.

So it's important to realise that this Sacral power is there to maximise the potential of whatever you have responded to finish, only in that way can you grow in the process, whether it be in business or relationships or experiences.

You have unique insights pouring into your mind in an acoustic manner, almost as if there is a 'voice' in your head. This acoustic aspect to your mind does not easily translate into words as the knowing is in the sound, and words can limit the meaning. So you have your own natural way of structuring the 'knowing' from your inner dialogue in a way that you can access it efficiently. By returning to the sounds you have 'logged' in a particular 'place', you can retain the source information.

However, your 'knowing' can inexplicably and beyond your control, suddenly disappear. Then you can be left with just the sounds, which if you try to speak them may make little sense to others. When the pulse comes on again, your knowing can return.

This is also a mind that is deaf to the 'interference' of other people's ideas, so it is not easy to teach you anything as the only ideas you'll tolerate are your own. Knowing can be profoundly true and valuable, but it can also be simply delusional.

This supplies you with a reliable instinctual, cellular memory of all the patterns of the past that have lead to successful or unsuccessful interactions with others. This is a genetic key to the survival of the intelligence of the human species. With this trait, you can be consistently alert to the personal interactions that can be productive for you and allay what can be a deep fear from the ancient past of our species, that you will not survive without the necessary support and assistance.

In historical times, this instinctual awareness zeroed in on the best warriors needed to defend and fight for the community. In today's material and increasingly capitalistic society, this same aspect can be seen as a managerial ability. It is always on the lookout for the people who can sell and can ensure a company survives through their creative ability to make a company's goods irresistible to potential customers.

This shows you have the quality of one who was born to be at the top levels of any hierarchy. This is an impressive characteristic to have in one's Design.

This Throat Gate has the voice of "I have" and is very possessive. It can be regarded as the Gate of the Tribal ruler that has access to material resources or resources that could become material assets and therefore can benefit the people or a company.

You have a natural gift to be able to gather people together for a common cause, but will want a money line feeding back to you as part of any bargain., where you receive some material benefit for your efforts.

Having this Gate without resources is hard to bear and, if that is the case, you may try to find a way to get access to the resources of others in order to "have".

Territory can be regarded as a resource, that could be a website, a Social community gathering space or intellectual property.

This brings you the potential to be in the right place at the right time if you are simply being yourself and experiencing life as you expand in the living of it.

With this aspect, success can come to you when you pursue anything you find self-fulfilling and can commit to throughout the whole experience. It is important for you to be fully in your experiences without any expectations. With expectations can come the potential of failure and such thoughts can simply pull you out of the experience itself. If you can be totally "in" the experience you will discover that it is only when it is over and you have time to reflect upon the whole thing, that you can see what it was all about. The important thing is not to step out until it is over.

You may find it difficult to end some relationships, or leave some jobs. It's only if you are truly committed to something, that you can cast any obstacles aside and persevere. You can demonstrate your commitment to an experience with your ability to endure it to the end.

This brings an oppressive burden to your conceptualizing process in its efforts to make sense of the past. The fuel for its thoughts via the 64th Gate of Confusion is a pressure can bring both confusion and anxiety with it.

Whether or not you have the 64th Gate defined, your mind will be attempting to sort into a meaningful order all kinds of mental images from the past, many of which have an emotional quality to them and all of them scattered throughout various time frames.

Making sense of such images is not an easy task, as soon as you've made sense of what happened the process continues and new perspectives can emerge so you get another sense of what could have taken place. It can be akin to dreaming, lost in the hope and pain waves of dread and relief.

This brings the awareness to be able to store and access corrected patterns, via the judgemental process, and be ready to share these possible solutions for application in the moment.

Like a Well that gradually fills over time this pool of logical solutions gets deeper over time. It can be most frustrating to understand what it is to have a deep functional solution for a complicated problem and yet be unable to prove it until it is actually applied. Moreover, it has to be invited out of you by those who recognise the depth you have in you.

The Splenic fear here is inadequacy, as one can't be sure the depth is sufficient until the time of application, a solution to a problem that doesn't solve it, is worthless. Hence the fear of being not worthy or irrelevant should you not be understanding something fully.

This is primarily the awareness of what resources are needed and establishing the principles by which they are found and how much is allocated to whom and when. Resources can be people, goods, services or money, but often it is food.

The 49 demands obedience and can sensitive or insensitive to the needs of those around them, depending upon the ratcheting Hope and Pain emotional wave. This is a very powerful aspect to your emotions, being Tribal, loyalty is rewarded and treachery is dealt with brutally.

It is the emotional fear of rejection, of being cut off from resources or the love of those you truly care about. It is also the strength of love based upon Higher principles, that organises the communities or families or businesses resources to maintain and sustain them. If the needs of the people are not met, this is the Gate that screams for, and if necessary organises, Revolution.

This is primarily about establishing the laws by which we can survive and be secure in the world while maintaining a healthy life.

It is the Splenic fear of responsibility with the fusion of present moment awareness that can be responsible in the now.

As the Gate of Tribal law its values are expressed and passed on to others to aid them in being capable of caring for their own life, in a responsible and supportive way.

This is also the Guardian Gate that will defend the family, community or business through the values they hold, such as a discipline that can maintain a consistent adherence to the basic principles that nourish the life or community or business.

This characteristic makes it imperative for you to discover what your fundamental values truly are and how they might differ from others. You can discover what values are important for you to adopt through an instinctual awareness that is open to changing them, if experience dictates it is prudent or necessary to do so.

This shows you are someone who can enjoy shocking others and also someone who has to learn how to survive the shocks you receive in your life.

It is the Willpower to be competitive, to be 'first' and you have the gall within you to go for it and jump into action if there is a good chance that you will be victorious. It is the need to meet challenges and win. It does not suffer losing well, even in trivial games.

As the Gate of Wounding you may learn the foolishness of vanity and the wisdom of withdrawal and taking the time necessary to heal from shock.

The Arousing quality of this energy rises to recognise the nature of shock and thereby deal with it accordingly. When you are victorious you can blaze a trail that can then become known to others.

This is a pressure to be still and do nothing. A very useful energy for assessing what the focus for the next step should be. It is a passive tension, designed to be temporary until the appropriate focus can be ascertained.

A restlessness and depression arises if it doesn't find something it can focus on after a period of withdrawal. Everything is boring.

It can be of service to any focus it identifies with. By channelling its natural reservoir of energy into blocking out distractions and holding the necessary tension of stillness for the focus to work with the small details, in a clear, functional and concentrated manner.

It's an energy that wants to tunnel into something without distractions. It can be of service to any focus it identifies with, by channelling its natural reservoir of concentrated power into detecting the small details that can make repetitive patterns become clear. If it has something to focus upon, it can block out everything else around it.

This brings to you a pressure to begin things. It is very stressful and depressing if you don't have the freedom to do so. You are born with a pioneer spirit to go into the unknown and begin something new..

Beginning something new can involve great expectations and also unforeseen consequences. So it's wise to wait until you are sure you are ready for the process it will take you into and the possible crisis points it may bring. Unless you have the 42nd Gate in your chart or have someone around you that has that and with it the power to complete things, you will discover that you can't easily finish things. A great deal of time, resources and grief comes in the wake of multiple unfinished projects that end up going nowhere.

This is the pressure to begin things assuredly, but it's based on what has gone before and proven successful to some degree, rather than from scratch. Only in completion does the stress go and the benefit of maturing through the whole process can be realized.

This provides you with the powerful drive to fulfil your material ambitions. You are likely to do all you can to be seen as the one with the most potential so you are noticed by those 'higher up' and have the opportunity to climb the material and communal ladder.

You can be excellent at finding out and remembering 'Who knows what?' or 'Where is the important information?' You can acquire information through formal or informal channels. Both can work for you. You may have no qualms about using covert interaction to achieve your goals or try to access secret information by using various esoteric systems. You have an immense urge to find a way to discover who are the people with influence. You know they are the ones you need to help you get ahead.

Once you identify who they are, and gain access to those above you in the hierarchy, you will do what is necessary to make a significant connection with them. A certain flirtatiousness leading to a workplace romance, is not uncommon, but may be more about ambition than passion.

This brings the power of raw, untamed and extreme emotion. Spirit is the mood of Hope/Pain emotions perceiving life as a cup half empty or half full. The perception is in the Now. The power of raw, untamed and extreme emotion can arise in a moment and disappear just as quickly.

You can be living your life in the mundane world and suddenly, something provokes you and you can feel a brightness that transforms everything with an abundant hopefulness. Your cup is half full. Your spirit is happy. Like an overflowing fountain there is abundance. When people meet you in such a mood, they love your happiness and delight in your joy and they remember you as a wonderful human being they'd like to get to know better.

Then everything returns to normal. The flatness of the mundane world returns until another sudden wave of emotion on a downward direction moves you to a point where you can find yourself encased in darkness. The cup is half empty. Your spirit is sad and there may be violent energies running through you, along with tears of emotional pain.

This reveals your love of stimulating others through the telling of stories. It has the metamorphic ability to translate ideas from inner 'seeing' within a visual conceptualisation process, into the language of a moving narrative with its beginnings, middles and ends.

Due to being an abstract communication Gate there is an emotional quality that can dramatize with the necessary intonation and express the feelings of the characters within your stories. You can share the despair of the main antagonists plight and your listeners can imagine themselves in a similar predicament. You can portray in the rising of your voice hope, at the precise moment all is seemingly lost and leave your audience deeply moved through the tragedy or comedy of your tale.

It is the ability to weave narratives from different perspectives and explore the lessons that can be learnt from such reflection.

This is the extraordinary clarity to penetrate to the core of whatever is happening in the Now. It's a key attribute for survival and is primarily acoustic.

The way people can speak can tell you so much, as you are able to cut through the words they use and hear in their intonation, what is the truth beyond what they say.

Your moment-by-moment awareness can, at times, bring a precognition of what is about to happen. It doesn't necessarily mean anything needs to be done, but certainly, if a spontaneous, existential, awareness emerges, there is something to take note of that may pertain to you. For example, it may be a sudden awareness that it's time to move, or time to say something, or time to penetrate someone who needs to hear the clarity of your guidance. Otherwise, this characteristic simply gives you an intuition that can bring you moments of beauty, or something to contemplate, perhaps even a knowing about what truly suits you and the way you wish to behave.

With this Gate you can often show up as someone who is generally a happy and joyful person. In fact, you can be the life and soul of a party. It's an energy for aliveness that can be great at social gatherings, in the sense that you can often be the one who may laugh the loudest and help others to enjoy themselves. where you can often be the one who embodies joy and will endeavour to lift up those around you.

This buoyant vibrant energy in you can be in great demand by those who need energy to improve something. So you may find that many people want to bring you into their particular project or insist you join them in some obsession to improve something.

This is also a power that can help others to challenge the status quo. You may feel a pressure to help them in their challenge of authorities who are not doing a good enough job. This is the energy to perfect things for everyone by doing what needs to be done joyfully.

In a Defined Sacral Center this Gate can generate sexual energy. There can be a rising up of this energy in response to another, that powers the breaking down of the barriers of separation to reach intimacy.

This characteristic in you is linked to the generic imperative to make children and be creatively productive. Tied as it is to the genetic necessity to keep the species alive and viable, this aspect means that you are likely to be more fertile than most.

As the quintessential sex drive this can show itself in many different specific sexual roles. The basic energy is simply to pursue a mate and bring them back to your place for sexual intimacy. Some people have a shy role they mechanically play out, whether their minds want them to or not, some may be more promiscuous, others need to be friends before sexual intimacy is possible, some are seducers with an alluring sexuality that draws others to them and there are those whose sexual role limits intimacy since bonding is seen as the beginning of a whole life involvement and they therefore hold back from bonding and wish to wait for their 'soulmate'.

This shows that you are familiar with the limitations that life can present whether it be in relationships, business, lifestyle or any given area.

This is the energy to want to break the limitations, go beyond perceived or prescribed restrictions and bring in something new. If the new is not possible and if you don't accept the current limitations in your life, this aspect can fuel a deep and chronic depression where you can feel restless and trapped.

"What are you going to do about it?" You can't move forward on a limitation unless you know the new order with which to re-shape it. There is a pulsic energy in you that can make you very aware of the limits in any given situation, and you can either do something about it by diving in, or you can just accept that you have to allow the limitation to be the boundary that it is.

On the positive side, this mutative energy means that there is a part of you that can always push the boundaries in whatever field you find yourself playing in. Used wisely this can bring you great benefit. Used unwisely this can create more stress by living beyond what should be held as a limit.

This brings a pressure within you to delve into esoteric mysteries to find the deeper truths of your individual existence.

This is an acoustic attribute and as such, some people with this characteristic can experience sounds in their head, which can be buzzing sounds, music, the note of High C, some describe it as cerebral orgasms, it may even be your own voice or none of the above but something unique to you.

It can be very de-stabilising as you can experience the pressure to know things that cannot be known. This can lead to a mental anxiety that can be almost unbearably melancholic and can lead repeatedly to mental instability. It doesn't have to be this way. Allow the peace that comes from knowing what you need to know, respecting your ability to find 'uncommon' answers, and don't allow your mind to drive you crazy.

This characteristic in you is very smart and can be utterly brilliant with the speed at which it can spontaneously release amazing truths that can astound those around you.

This means you have a particular preference for measuring things according to the detailed facts. You can speak in a reasonable or unreasonable voice, depending upon the viability and relevance of the concrete evidence. If someone makes an unreasonable statement and you see the facts don't add up, you may then argue with them in a strident and disapproving tone.

This Throat Gate voice says "I think" or "I don't think" and this usually precedes a statement with particular emphasis on the facts that lead to a conclusion that you are willing to defend in order to get others to understand the meaning of what you say. So you are certainly someone, who can be ready to argue or debate with others.

This logical, precise aspect to your expression is likely to emphasise and punctuate your words in a precise, clear cut way, so people know when you have finished speaking, as there will always be a full stop (period) at the end.

You may be excellent at detailed work and can share your understanding in educating others. Conversely, you may be bored by subjects not relevant to your interests.

This brings a natural suspicion and critical assessment of anything in a sequence that doesn't seem to fit. It is often just one thing that might stand out for you as being 'odd' or 'wrong' with what is being presented to you or with something someone says or does. Perhaps the route chosen for a leisurely drive contains a detour that doesn't make any sense to you. It may be a scientific theory that appears not to apply to the known evidence or a bill seems to be more than it should be. You can be doubtful about almost anything.

There can be an in-built mental pressure in you to critically challenge the status quo or the consistency within someone's point of view, when you see something that appears to be wrong or illogical. Your challenge to both accepted and new theories manifests as questions. You want to know for sure. If your questions into the dubious nature of something are not answered to your satisfaction, then you can become mentally anxious.

This is an aspect of your mind that can be busy reflecting upon a stream of mental pictures and information about past events along with a tremendous pressure to make sense of it all. It's confusing and not an easy characteristic to comes to terms with. But it may well not be up to you to work it out either.

What is necessary, however, it that you share your memories with others when invited to do so. In the collective sharing of these images or dreams, you may inspire others and they may be able to make some sense of their confusion. So don't allow yourself to be over-burdened with this pressure. Enjoy the huge diversity of your naturally active mental process.

There is a strong dreaming potential in you, especially if activated from the Design. But rather than becoming lost in trying to find meaning in your dreams, simply share them when invited to do so and see what happens. If you have the right people around you, who enjoy hearing them, then you may find your dreams can open up all kinds of imaginative roads for others.
