Introduction to Human Design Gate 51 and Gene Key 51

Human Design Gate 51 is The Gate of Shock.
Competition lives here. It’s the need to be the best or the first. People with this energy do what no one else dares try. They are unpredictable, shocking and exciting people to be around. They shock others into change.

Location of Gate 51 in your Human Design Chart

Gate 51 is located in the Heart center of the bodygraph or human design chart.

The 25-51 Channel and Gate 51’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 Initiation (25-51).
With this channel defined, you’re the kind of person who jumps in the pool and checks for water afterwards. It’s part of your gift. You have the spirit of a warrior. You’re highly competitive, and you’ll always test the limits for yourself and others.

Tapping into Gate 51’s Energy

How does Gate 51 show up in your chart, and how can you tap into that unpredictable energy? Start by taking a look at your own chart to see if Gate 51 is defined (the line is colored in)  or undefined (the line is blank). Next, look at the Heart Center to see if it is defined (colored in) or undefined (blank).

Here are the possibilities:

Defined Gate 51 in a Defined Heart Center

If Gate 51 is defined for you in a defined centre you have access to this energy always. It’s part of who you are. You are highly competitive and you try new things, often without considering the consequences. You initiate others into change, often through shock. Don’t dim yourself!!!

Defined Gate 51 in an Undefined Heart Center

If Gate 51 is defined for you in an undefined centre it is considered dormant. It will be activated when you are with someone who has gate 25 (The Gate of Innocence), defined OR when a planetary transit defines this gate.

Accessing Energy with an Undefined Gate 51

If Gate 51 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 51

The shadow of Gate 51, according to Gene Keys, is agitation.
Richard Rudd (Gene Keys) explains that Gene Key 51 moves from agitation, through initiative, to awakening. The dilemma of this Gene Key is harshness. Richard explains that we feel agitated because we are harsh, with ourselves and with others. It’s only when we let go of this need to be harsh, when we take initiation, that we can move through to our own awakening.

A personal exercise for Gate 51 awareness

Where have I been conditioned to soften?
Where have I experienced shame around my need to win or to be first?

Embrace the Human Design Gate 51 Mantra:

I experience life fully and I can handle whatever comes of it.

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.
