Gate 45 (Gene Key 45) is The Gate of The Gatherer; explore its position in the human design chart, the 21-45 channel, and the Throat Center; harness Gate 45’s power;

Introduction to Human Design Gate 45 and Gene Key 45

Human Design Gate 45 is the Gate of the Gatherer. This is ruler energy. People with Gate 45 defined are here to oversee wealth. Think of it as King or Queen energy. It’s the archetype of the monarch, the tribal leader who oversees all. Money, wealth, power, rulership, and business all live here. You’re here to delegate, not to do the work.

Location of Gate 45 in your Human Design Chart

Gate 45 is located in the Throat center of the bodygraph or human design chart.

The 21-45 Channel and Gate 45’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 gate is part of the Channel of The Money Line (21-45). With this channel defined, you are designed to work alone, for yourself. There aren’t many places in the Human Design chart that say “THERE. Do that,” but this is one of them. You are not here to be controlled by anyone or told what to do. You set the rules. You’re here to lead and to be in control, especially of resources.
You are a one woman or a one man show, and you like it! 

Tapping into Gate 45’s Energy

How does Gate 45 show up in your chart, and how can you tap into that leadership energy? Start by taking a look at your own chart to see if Gate 45 is defined (the line is colored in)  or undefined (the line is blank). Next, look at the Throat Center to see if it is defined (colored in) or undefined (blank).

Here are the possibilities:

Defined Gate 45 in a Defined Throat Center

If Gate 45 is defined for you in a defined centre you have access to this energy always. It’s part of who you are. You’ve likely been accused of being a control freak because you need to be in charge. Find a way to work for yourself!

Defined Gate 45 in an Undefined Throat Center

If Gate 45 is defined for you in an undefined centre it is considered dormant. It will be activated when you are with someone who has gate 21 (The Gate of Biting Through), defined OR when a planetary transit defines this gate.

Accessing Energy with an Undefined Gate 45

If Gate 45 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 45

The shadow of Gate 45, according to Gene Keys, is dominance. Well there’s a predicament. Someone who needs to be in charge, who in the shadow, dominates. 🤔 Richard Rudd (Gene Keys) explains that Gene Key 45 moves from dominance, through communion, into synergy.

Other words for synergy are harmony, union, or collaboration.

What this tells us is that although this gate or gene key is about ruling energy, it’s meant to have harmony, in its highest expression. It doesn’t rule for the sake of ruling, it rules for the good of all. 

A personal exercise for Gate 45 awareness

Do I feel in control of my own life? Am I managing my resources well?

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.
