---

The energy of Human Design Gate 1 is all about uniqueness, creativity, self-expression, proudly doing your own thing, & following your own true path.

Total stereotype and not scientifically proven, but oftentimes I notice people with Gate 1 have a super unique and noticeable ‘thing’ about their outward appearance. A tattoo, a mohawk, green hair, a particular style of clothing that makes them stand out from the crowd…

I’ve found this to be about 99% true, to varying degrees of intensity, with the clients I’ve done readings for! Does it strike a chord with you?

Look up your Human Design chart to find out if this one’s ‘activated’ in your body! Gate 1 is located in the G-Center, the diamond shape in the middle, which Carries the theme of identity, self love and direction.

Gate 1 says that, by fully embodying your extremely unique, creative self, you empower others to do the same, thereby transforming the world and taking us to a new paradigm.

Gate 1 is the most Yang energy in the chart; it is outward, expressive and empowering.

In the high-vibe expression, people with Gate 1 behold a massive capacity for creativity, whether through art or simply by the way they dress, live, or just by ‘being’ their true authentic self.

People with this energy are driven by their sense of purpose; a knowing that they’re here to make a meaningful difference in the world.

Gate 1 gives you the power to unapologetically express who you are. But remember: right timing is key. You have the ability to make a huge contribution to society by empowering others to do like you do, which is to say, by being your expressive, fully embodied, authentic self.

Remember, each of the 64 Gates has a high vibe expression and a low vibe (“not-self”) way they can show up in us.

The ‘low’ or ‘not-self’ vibration of Gate 1 shows up as feeling under pressure to be creative and not being able to ‘make’ anything. It resists the need for down-time, which is an important part of the creative process. Instead of allowing the creative juices to flow, a low-vibe Gate 1 will stop following to its innate compass. It will be afraid and lackful around what it’s able to contribute creatively. It won’t express itself authentically, fails to follow its unique path, and does what others tell it to do.

To get out of the lower vibration of Gate 1 or any Gate, we have to make the conscientious decision to *choose* to get into alignment and pull ourselves out of the low vibe. Join my mailing list for tools on how to do that!

Which vibe do you identify with more often: the high or the low?
