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 1 if YOU follow your strategy and authority and thus unleash the potential of the gate:

With Gate 1 defined, that is colored in your individual Human Design you are a true artist soul, a creative, melancholic, mutative, and authentic freak <3 and if I say “freak,” it is always a compliment from my mouth 😉

You have a very creative and original direction in life, and you also give this impulse to others around you, be it in private or in business.

You often have a deep need for isolation and being alone, and you don’t like to be influenced by others at all. 

By being authentic and living congruently with your own truth and uniqueness, you automatically draw attention to yourself and your life’s work. You are, in essence, a walking work of art.

You have the gift to inspire people to go in a unique direction and not follow the masses like a sheep.

The Not-Self quality of gate 1 if you do NOT follow your strategy and authority, but base your decisions on your mind`s command:

Then you lose access to your creative artist soul due to too much work and overwork and feel completely cut off from yourself, and you try to find your direction in life mentally.

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 1, and to understand Gate 1 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!!! 🙂
