The sixty four gates

Human Design Gate 7: The Role of the Self

Gate 7 is leadership that works best just behind the front, guiding the one who stands in the light. It carries direction for a group.

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

How gate 7 shows up in a life

In any group you end up with a view of where it should go, whether or not anyone gave you the job. Grabbing the microphone rarely suits you; being the person the leader listens to does. Influence lands when it is invited. Offer the direction once, clearly, and let someone else carry it forward.

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.
