Personality Gates (black/conscious) are energies you identify with — "This is me." Design Gates (red/unconscious) operate through your body — others see them before you do.
Personality Gates
These 11 gates represent the conscious aspects of your design — the energies you recognize as "you."
Gate 51: The Gate of Shock
Heart Center — Personality Sun | Line 2
The Gate of Shock is about introducing shock to people around you through shocking actions, statements, or initiations — from subtle to dramatic. Being in the Heart Center, this gate is very competitive, representing the drive to be first or best at something.
Gate 51, being courageous, can often turn from brave to unreasonable and foolish. You might find being shocking and dealing with shock entertaining. You not only introduce shock around you but also receive equally shocking events that are often needed to further your journey and awaken you to God or the Divine.
For your app: It might do something shocking — disrupt expectations, challenge norms. Your approach naturally jolts people awake.
Gate 57: The Gate of Intuitive Insight
Spleen Center — Personality Moon | Line 2
The Gate of Intuitive Insight, being in the Spleen Center, is about intuitive awareness that always ensures survival and well-being. Gate 57 is about being alert and knowing in the Now, driven by fear and trying to sense danger in the near future.
This is one of the oldest Gates in the chart, inherited from our ancestors from the distant past. Being attuned to vibrations and sounds, and also being deeply intuitive, Gate 57 can filter out important auditory information needed for survival. It gives access to intuition and knowingness beyond this physical reality.
Trust what you "hear" — not just literal sound, but the frequency of people and environments.
Gate 15: The Gate of Extremes
G Center — Personality North Node | Line 5
The Gate of Extremes is about adjusting and adapting your rhythm to changing circumstances. It expresses itself through extreme rhythms. Whether it be your personal cycle with respect to times you eat, get up, and go to sleep, or other patterns, the Gate of Extremes will demand a change from a repetitive cycle after a while.
This is also the energy of the love of humanity, the concern for fellow humans, and the drive to bring other humans into the flow of life. Gate 15 has a very magnetic presence — you naturally draw people toward you.
Gate 28: The Gate of the Game Player
Spleen Center — Personality South Node | Line 4
The Gate of the Game Player is always ready to take risks in order to find meaning in life. This Gate's energy is expressed in the struggle to find your divine connection. Being in the Splenic Center, it enables the intuition to know when to fight and when not to fight.
Gate 28's biggest challenge is to feel alive and give one's life a sense of meaning and purpose. Through struggle, you become wise about the meaning of life. The fear that life has no meaning is always present — but this fear drives you to make life deeply meaningful.
Gate 27: The Gate of Caring
Sacral Center — Personality Mercury | Line 4
The Gate of Caring is about preserving and protecting oneself, the offspring, and the community. It has a strong nurturing energy and expresses the need to take care of each other. Gate 27's energy is tribal and is directed toward family, team, or community.
It's deeply social and can easily end up sacrificing itself for the wellbeing of others. The care is not only expressed in directly helping someone but also knowing when to let them try for themselves and struggle for a while so they can grow spiritually.
Gate 17: The Gate of Opinions
Ajna Center — Personality Venus | Line 6
The Gate of Opinions first utilizes logic, then there is the question, the hypothesis, and opinions about that hypothesis. This Gate is here to offer its opinions about what will work and what will not.
Opinions are necessary to find the best and most logical solution, but they are not always welcome as they often feel personal by nature, and this does not mean that the facts are actually correct. Gate 17 sees clearly in the Now and knows how to project details into the future as patterns.
Gate 63: The Gate of Doubt
Head Center — Personality Mars | Line 1
The Gate of Doubt is naturally skeptical and questions the validity of everything. It's logical, scientific, and the first step in the Logic Circuit. It always approaches situations with an "Is it safe?" mindset, considering something to be faulty or unsafe until the opposite is proven by logic and data.
Being in the Head Center, 63's logic comes as an inspiration. This Gate is the one to always raise questions to test the safety and integrity of a process or a thing. Watch for: Turning doubt on yourself. Be skeptical of information, not your own insights.
Gate 7: The Gate of The Role of the Self
G Center — Personality Jupiter | Line 1
The Gate of the Role of the Self is energy that seeks leadership — whether democratic or dictatorial depends on the situation. It's here to work with Gate 31 and provide direction and support in leadership.
Although Gate 7 is here to support leadership, it might often try to take that leadership, which ends up being detrimental to it. Gate 7 achieves peace when it gives up the drive to take leadership and instead learns it's here to provide support. The biggest potential comes when recognized by the community.
Gate 5: The Gate of Fixed Rhythms
Sacral Center — Personality Saturn | Line 5
The Gate of Fixed Rhythms is closely characterized by rhythm and routine. It's all about habits, daily routines, and pace. It's important that this Gate maintains routine in order to feel secure, effective, empowered, and healthy.
Located in the Sacral Center, Gate 5 has a recharging supply of energy to maintain day-to-day repetitive workflows. You will respond to opportunities for work that are rhythmic.
Gate 22: The Gate of Openness
Solar Plexus — Personality Uranus | Line 2
The Gate of Openness is about being open as an individual to hear the emotional wishes of the community. It's very moody — it will either push towards socializing or withdraw into isolation.

Gate 60: The Gate of Acceptance
Root Center — Personality Neptune | Line 5
The Gate of Acceptance, being in the Root Center, is about having a sudden pressure to bring lasting changes into the world. Through such sudden pushes or surges of energy, it helps you introduce mutation and bring something new, but this can't be forced.
Gate 60 is realistic about limitations and accepts those limitations just so it can preserve a process or thing that's already established. This Gate is very melancholic, which is the basis of its acceptance and understanding of limitations.

Gate 54: The Gate of Ambition
Root Center — Design Sun | Line 4
The Gate of Ambition is about having big ambitions within the community. It gives a strong push to be materially successful, attain a higher status within the community, and move up the social ladder, often relying on the right connections with those in positions of power.
Being in the Root Center, it puts pressure on making ambitious business deals and money, thus drawing the attention and support of higher-ranking individuals.
Gate 53: The Gate of Beginnings
Root Center — Design Moon | Line 4
The Gate of Beginnings is about getting things started. Being in the Root Center, it puts constant pressure to begin something new, even without knowing where it will lead and whether it will be completed at all.
Here, Gate 53 needs the Sacral Power of Gate 42 in order to push things to completion. When confronted with the same old scenarios, you may become severely bored and confined. It also has a mutative potential since sometimes, in order to start something new, a mutation process is needed.
Gate 3: The Gate of Ordering
Sacral Center — Design Earth | Line 1
The Gate of Ordering is all about completion — urging to finish or complete things. There isn't always a clear direction when starting projects or tasks, but the Gate of Ordering eventually brings resolutions and completion to those tasks.
Since this Gate is always ready to do something new, it needs to exercise discipline and wait for the right moment and conditions so it can bring forward a resolution. Confusion and ambiguity are normal aspects of the creative process — clarity and order will emerge through experimentation.
Gate 44: The Gate of Alertness
Spleen Center — Design North Node | Line 6
The Gate of Alertness, being in the Spleen Center, is about instinct and survival by looking at past patterns, capabilities, and potential of others. It has instinctive knowledge of other people's skills and what did or did not work in the past.

Gate 24: The Gate of Rationalizing
Ajna Center — Design South Node | Line 6
The Gate of Rationalizing is about thinking over and over, seeking to rationalize your thoughts. It's constantly selecting useful and potentially inspiring ideas for others.
Gate 24, in combination with Gate 61's inspiration and push for exploring Inner Truth, can unleash highly creative energy that could bring forward mystical knowledge. Gate 24 shapes all that inspiration coming from 61 into a rational form, preparing it to be put into words so it can be shared. However, it needs clarity when rationalizing; otherwise, it could get stuck in its own rationalizations.
Gate 41: The Gate of Contraction
Root Center — Design Mercury | Line 3
The Gate of Contraction is driven by a constant urge to experience new feelings, the impulse to do something new as a way to set yourself free from restricting circumstances. Gate 41 often lives in a 'castle in the clouds' because it's the Gate of fantasy, dreaming, and most importantly — hope.
This hope, combined with the Root Center being a pressure Center, gives the pressure to find excitement and the thirst for destiny, which is often experienced as strong unrest. It has the energy of contracting or pulling back — regrouping in preparation for the next expansion.
Gate 34: The Gate of Power
Sacral Center — Design Venus | Line 2
The Gate of Power is the core of the Sacral Center's energetic potential. It's the busiest and most capable of all 64 Gates. Its huge supply of energy is unconditional and brings power to three other Gates — 57, 20, and 10.
Because of the multiple channels it can fuel, it will manifest in different forms. Gate 34 is independent and self-centered and shouldn't feel guilty about it. Having this Gate, you want to always demonstrate how different you are from others. This hard-working Gate doesn't need outside motivators and can empower itself.
Gate 59: The Gate of Sexuality
Sacral Center — Design Mars | Line 3
The Gate of Sexuality is about fertility, seduction, and the drive to reproduce and leave something behind — be it children or lasting projects. Gate 59 has a very strong sacral sexual power which aims to create closeness, enter into relationships, and break boundaries.
This isn't only in an intimate way but also within the community. For marriage: You carry powerful intimacy energy — the drive to merge and dissolve barriers between you and your partner.
Gate 9: The Gate of Focus
Sacral Center — Design Jupiter | Line 1
The Gate of Focus is always overwhelmed and/or distracted by the details. It's important for Gate 9 to use its focus on those small details to reach the bigger goal. This Gate represents the core energy of focusing on the little details, allowing you to hold your attention on those details for a long time.
It plays an important role in the Logical Circuit, where the energy is scarce, by forcing you to pay attention to reduce wasting energy. It's all about where you put your focus and which details you pay attention to that influences your journey.
Gate 37: The Gate of Friendship
Solar Plexus — Design Saturn | Line 4
The Gate of Friendship is about recognition through family or community. It offers support and nourishment to the group and holds the family/community together. Gate 37 recognizes that every relationship is built on agreements and, for its support and loyalty, it expects something in return.
It holds on to these bargains and, being in the Solar Plexus, violating said agreements can push the Gate to extreme emotions, turning friends into arch-enemies. For your network: Your relationships thrive on mutual agreements and loyalty.
Gate 61: The Gate of Mystery
Head Center — Design Uranus & Neptune | Line 6
The Gate of Mystery is about seeking to know the unknowable, the "Why" in life and mysticism. This Gate is very attracted to occult knowledge, gains mutative inspiration with potentially lasting impact on others, and has the ability to simply know without using logic.
Being in the Head Center, Gate 61 has constant pressure to dig deep into the mysteries of life — things that cannot be known. You enjoy the drive to find answers. It's important to accept that some things cannot be known — and that's okay.
Gate 14: The Gate of Power Skills
Sacral Center — Design Pluto | Line 6
The Gate of Power Skills energy fuels your direction in life. It's located in the channel of the beat and is called "Keeper of the Keys." This energy is fuel to empower the self. Gate 14 allows any act of creation to increase your energy instead of spending it.
Being in the Sacral Center, this Gate enjoys working and attracts "Possession in Great Measure" through its abundant resources. It carries an assurance that wealth or material things are guaranteed through your gifts. Key: You must always do only what you love to do.
The Combination: Your Personality Gates (what you consciously identify with) combine with your Design Gates (unconscious body wisdom) to create your unique energetic signature. Others often see your Design Gates in you before you recognize them yourself.
