Introduction to Human Design Gate 28 and Gene Key 28

Human Design Gate 28 is The Gate of Struggle.
More than struggle though, the search for meaning lies within this gate. It’s the ability to know what’s worth fighting for, and what is not. 

Location of Gate 28 in your Human Design Chart

Gate 28 is located in the Spleen center of the bodygraph or human design chart.

The 28-38 Channel and Gate 28’s Human Design Circuitry

Think of Human Design Circuitry as the circuit board that lies beneath the rest of your design. Circuitry is the thing that all other aspects are placed upon. It lays the foundation and the energies here never change.  

There are 3 main circuits in Human Design: Individual, Collective, and Tribal. 

This is part of the Channel of Struggle (28-38).
It’s a Projected channel that  is part of the Knowing Circuit. It’s also an Individual Channel which is all about going your own way, following your own rules, no matter what. Think Frank Sinatra singing ‘My Way.’

On a personal note, my husband and one of my daughters have this channel. Holy hell do they dig their heels in in a fight. It’s next level stubbornness. They will fight to the death for something they believe in, and they instinctively know what’s worth the fight. 

Tapping into Gate 28’s Energy

How does Gate 28 show up in your chart, and how can you tap into that stubborn energy? Start by taking a look at your own chart to see if Gate 28 is defined (the line is colored in)  or undefined (the line is blank). Next, look at the Spleen Center to see if it is defined (colored in) or undefined (blank).

Here are the possibilities:

Defined Gate 28 in a Defined Spleen Center

If Gate 28 is defined for you in a defined centre you have access to this energy always. It’s part of who you are. You’re a fighter. You endlessly search for meaning and your greatest fear is that you’ll never uncover the meaning of your life.

Defined Gate 28 in an Undefined Spleen Center

If Gate 28 is defined for you in an undefined centre it is considered dormant. It will be activated when you are with someone who has Gate 38 (the Gate of the Fighter), defined OR when a planetary transit defines this gate.

Accessing Energy with an Undefined Gate 28

If Gate 28 is undefined for you, fear not! 
You’ll have access to the energy of this gate when you are with others who have it defined and/or through planetary transits. You can borrow this energy by being in the aura of someone who has it defined. 

Unveiling The Shadow of Gate 28

The shadow of Gate 28, according to Gene Keys, is purposelessness.
Richard Rudd (Gene Keys) explains that Gene Key 28 moves from purposelessness, through totality to immortality. WOWZER. This Gene Key can hold a fear of death and of life itself. It deeply longs for fulfillment and to those with Gate 28 defined, the worst thing that could happen is to die without ever knowing why they lived. 

A personal exercise for Gate 28 awareness

Book a Human Design reading to uncover your purpose STAT!
Seriously though. Take some time with yourself to contemplate the gate of your Conscious Sun. In it you’ll find clues to who you are here to be in life, your purpose.

Embrace the Human Design Gate 28 Mantra:

My purpose is who I am, not what I do.

Human Design is all about the nuances. Each reader/specialist/guide has his or her own way of interpreting the messages encoded in the Human Design chart. I’ve learned from many teachers:
Karen Curry Parker, Ra Uru Hu, Richard Rudd, and Phoebe Kuhn, to name a few.
These articles are my own contemplations of the Human Design System.
