Human Design + Astrology 12-04-2022

One of the truly fun parts of working with my Human Design clients happens in the guidance of their Centers and Gates. Centers are the shapes that run from top to bottom of the body graph beginning with a triangle at the top (Head) and ending with a square at the bottom (Root). Your graph may include any combination of defined centers (colored in), Undefined Centers (not colored in with defined Gates) or Open centers (completely uncolored without any defined Gates - small circled numbers). 

Defined Centers offer guidance on what energy is most consistently available to us. Often this is energy we recognize and traits or ideas that feel like a constant part of our personality. Undefined and Open Centers are exactly that. Places where we are more open and receptive to the energy around us and the energy of others. This can feel like experiencing other's emotions as our own, being vulnerable to the stress and hustle of others, and even feeling the fears of others. It is said that understanding our Undefined and Open Centers holds the potential for our greatest growth and wisdom. This is often where a lot of shadow work is done and we can begin to understand what belongs to us and what we try on that might belong to others. It’s fascinating and also a process. 

Gates work in a similar way in that the Gates - small circles with numbers appearing in centers - are either Defined (colored in) or Undefined. Defined Gates are where we can look for guidance on our greatest gifts and where to best spend our time and energy. When one Defined Gate connects to another Defined Gate across a center, the Gates create a Channel. Channels are an even more potent place to seek guidance. 

With Centers and Gates, it is often that we are naturally attracted to those who possess definition that we do not. This happens so often when reading the Centers and Gates of my clients and their partners and children. I see this with my husband and daughter. There are numerous instances where we bridge a Defined Gate for each other, creating a complete Channel between the two of us. This speaks to the beauty of how we need each other and how Human design encourages us to embrace ourselves and embrace the differences of others, as we all have a valuable role to play together.
