Designed As You Gates Guide

Gates are where consistent energy exists in the chart. The gates are mapped according to the planetary activations. If a number appears as one of your activations, that gate will be defined and coloured into your chart as the black and red lines.

Each gate has a theme/flavour to its energy. Therefore, if you have a gate activated, it means you hold that gift (and potential) consistently. The combination of all of these gates/gifts creates your energetic aura.

Each gate encompasses a higher or lower expression, so it is crucial to find a balance in the energy evoked in that particular gate.

Whenever looking at a gate, take note of the center it is coming from because it will embody that energy, i.e. all the gates from the splenic center are about intuition, fear, instincts and timing.
