Introduction to Human Design Gate 15 and Gene Key 15

Human Design Gate 15 is all about extremes.

People with Gate 15 defined need to continually adjust their rhythm to flow with the circumstances of life, in the moment.

This is the energy that breaks patterns.
It must follow its own, ever changing, flow.

People with Gate 15 defined in their Human Design have a magnetism that can’t be explained. Often, just by walking into a room, they draw attention to themselves, and it’s not always comfortable. I’ve had many clients (and with Gate 15 defined in my own design I feel it) say that they often feel like people stare at them and come closer when they’re out. They carry this energy that makes people feel like they know them, even if they don’t.

Gate 15 is also the love of humanity. It’s a G centre gate and as such, is rooted in love.

Here’s where it gets interesting 👇🏻

Location of Gate 15 in your Human Design Chart

Gate 15 is located in the G Center of the bodygraph or human design chart.

The 5-15 Channel and Gate 15’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. 

Gate 15 forms part of the Channel of Rhythm.
Isn’t that a kick?
Gate 15, remember, resists rhythm. It has a rhythm, but it’s not one that anyone else can follow!

Often, those with Gate 15 defined are super uncomfortable with rhythm and routine. The Channel of Rhythm (5-15) is is a Generated Channel that is part of the Understanding Circuit.

People with the entire channel 5-15 will naturally pull others into their rhythm. If their rhythm is chaotic, others will fall into a chaotic pattern with them. If their rhythm is calm, others will calmly flow in the same pattern.

Remember the magnetism? They draw people into their flow, whatever it is.

In relationship, if one partner has the 5 defined and the other the 15, they will be at odds A LOT. The 5 craves fixed rhythms and the 15 craves variable flow.

Isn’t that always the way?

Tapping into Gate 15’s Energy

How does Gate 15 show up in your chart, and how can you tap into that magnetic energy? Start by taking a look at your own chart to see if Gate 15 is defined (the line is colored in)  or undefined (the line is blank). Next, look at the G Center to see if it is defined (colored in) or undefined (blank).

Here are the possibilities:

Defined Gate 15 in a Defined G Center

If Gate 15 is defined for you in a defined centre you have access to this energy always. It’s part of who you are. You probably understand that others may not see you as a routine being yet you can identify some things that you are completely in rhythm with. You get that you’re magnetic, even if you don’t understand why. You’re drawn to the extremes in life.

Defined Gate 15 in an Undefined G Center

If Gate 15 is defined for you in an undefined centre it is considered dormant. It will be activated when you are with someone who has Gate 5 (the Gate of Fixed Rhythm) defined OR when a planetary transit defines Gate 5. The themes of hanging gates in undefined centres often play out in relationships. 

Accessing Energy with an Undefined Gate 15

If Gate 15 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 15

The shadow of Gate 15, according to Gene Keys, is dullness.
Richard Rudd (Gene Keys) explains that this 15th Gene Key holds all of the other Gene Keys within it, hence, the magnetism and love of humanity. With this Gene Key defined, you’re being called to fluorescence. Other words for fluorescence are renaissance, flourishing, and epitome.
No pressure here. 🤣

A personal exercise for Gate 15 awareness

Notice, as you go through the next few days, how you’re able to adapt and flow with circumstances. Notice where you’re not able to flow. Also notice if some of the people in your life make you feel more like you need to follow a routine. They may (or may not) have Gate 5 defined.

Embrace the Human Design Gate 15 Mantra:

I honour my soul by following my own unique rhythm in all of life.

✨ NOTE ✨

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, Phoebe Kuhn, and Erin Clarie Jones, to name a few. These articles are my own contemplations of the Human Design System, in my own words.
