If you want to know which gates are activated in your individual design, get your personal Human Design Chart from us, as mentioned above. Then in your chart, you will find a red column on the left, these are your unconscious gates, and on the right of your Human Design chart, you will find a black column. These black numbers are your conscious activated gates. And then, on my website, you can open the respective gates and read through which aspects are activated as a potential in your design. 🙂

The true purpose of gate 3 if YOU follow your strategy and authority and thus unleash the potential of the gate:

If you have defined Gate 3 in your design, then you have the inner pressure to break out of existing structures and initiate something new.

You have the pressure to mutate everything and everyone around you and make alchemy.
If you are living correctly, then through Gate 3 you will experience empowerment by going in your correct direction and inspiring others to go in their correct direction and trust it.
With Gate 3, you constantly move out of confusion and chaos towards order and clarity.

You will always experience difficulty and confusion in new beginnings, but these are surmountable through strategy and authority and acceptance of limitation.
With Gate 3, PATIENCE AND DEVOTION is the prerequisite for the perfect timing for a successful mutation and new beginning.

The Not-Self quality of gate 3 if you do NOT follow your strategy and authority, but base your decisions on your mind`s command:

Then there is a danger that you will push a new direction in your life out of impatience and impulsiveness, resulting in chaos and experiencing powerlessness.
Gate 3 can experience depression when the mind wants to force change and mutation, whether in yourself or others.
The Not-Self of Gate 3 is instability, chaos, deflated energy, and stagnation, as the mind wants to push mutation based on logic or experience – but mutation needs the right circumstances and timing to bear fruits, which is beyond logic, reason, and experience.

Would you like to have all the gates from our website in the form of a handy PDF that you can carry with you at all times, print out, and have available offline without having to search the site for the individual gates of your design or click through?

Then you can get your personal FREE copy of the Ebook “The 64 Gates in the Human Design System”! Click here.

 In the e-book, we have also added the following additional information to each gate that is not on the website:

1. what kind of gate (whether individual, collective or tribal)
2. to which channel this gate belongs with the channel name
3. when this gate is activated in the annual transits

Of course, this article is only a tiny glimpse into Gate 3, and to understand Gate 3 even better in your Human Design, you need to look at it in the context of Type, Strategy & Authority, and the rest of the definitions of your individual Human Design, then you will an even bigger picture.

AND, unfortunately, to be able to tap into and unleash the full potential of this gate, it is NOT enough to just know that you have this gate, because then you will still be far from living it, or really fulfilling its potential. Most often the potential of this gate will be distorted by your mind.  

Therefore, it is essential to tap into the potential of your design through STRATEGY AND AUTHORITY. As a CONSEQUENCE, you will unleash the potential of each gate in your individual design. But this can only be done mechanically through your individual strategy and authority and not mentally.

Because if you don’t live according to your strategy and authority, you can have the greatest and most brilliant gates in your design and have your perfect symphony of type, strategy and authority, your channels and your gates, BUT you will NOT live the potential of all these gates or rather suppress and distort it IF YOU don’t live according to your strategy and authority but have your openness and your Mind be the slavedriver in your life.

In my in-depth analysis, we look at the gate IN CONTEXT, and in the context of the planet, that activates the gate, the lines in detriment, and exaltation, and of course, your design and thus what it means to YOU individually! Most people are blown away by the in-depth analyses when they discover that they have such a brilliant potential, some of which they haven’t even tapped into yet, and are then motivated by following their Strategy & Authority to unleash their full potential!!! 🙂
