The sixty four gates

Human Design Gate 6: Friction

Gate 6 decides who gets close and who does not, and conflict is how that boundary gets drawn. The friction is intimate, not hostile.

The dashed lines are the channels this gate can complete. Each one also needs the gate at its far end.

How gate 6 shows up in a life

You are warm and open for a while, then suddenly closed, and the switch confuses everyone including you. It usually tracks a mood you did not name out loud. Arguments started in the shut phase are about the door, not about the dishes. Wait out the wave and the same conversation costs a tenth as much.

Read here as a language of symbols. Medical, legal and financial questions belong with a professional.

Your own chart

Is this gate one of your twenty six activations?

A gate only belongs to you if one of the thirteen planets on either side of your chart landed in it. The calculator lists all twenty six, with the line each one fell in.
