The Gate in the Bodygraph

Within the bodygraph, the composite body-map at the centre of Human Design, Gate 14 is placed in the Sacral centre, one of the nine centres the system maps onto (and expands from) the seven-centre chakra model. Gates do not act alone in the model: each pairs with another gate to complete a channel joining two centres. It belongs to the Channel of The Beat (2-14), which it forms with Gate 2 ("Receptive Direction"). These placements and pairings are features of Ra Uru Hu's 1987 design and describe the system's internal mechanics; they are presented here as the system's own claims, not as verified facts about human beings.

Human Design's own teaching ties Gate 14, skilled power, to its I Ching correspondent, Hexagram 14, Great Possession, read in the received text as the sun at its zenith illuminating great and clear abundance; the system carries that image into a gate concerned with the resources, skill and power that fund a direction set by others, forming with Gate 2 the Channel of The Beat, which the system reads as material resource placed in service of direction. Gate 14's placement in a chart also depends on the Rave Mandala, the wheel of all sixty-four gates arranged around 360 degrees; since 360 divided by 64 is 5.625, each gate spans exactly five and five-eighths degrees of zodiacal arc, and it is the Sun, Earth, Moon and other bodies' positions at birth and at a second, pre-birth moment that the system uses to determine which gates a given chart activates.
