Guide To Dormant And Hanging Gates In Human Design

Hanging Gates in Human Design, and Dormant or Sleeping Gates

When you create you Human Design chart and start to learn how to read all the information it contains, you really only need a basic grasp of the components initially. Learn more

However, as you begin to look more closely at your body graph and what it means for your genetic Design, it can be helpful to have an understanding of some of the more advanced language you may hear. Learn more

When a channel between centers is defined by two activated gates, it also creates definition in both centres at either end.

Guide To Dormant And Hanging Gates In Human Design

Hanging Gates in Human Design, and Dormant or Sleeping Gates

The Different Kinds of Gates

When we talk about the Human Design system, developed by Ra Uru Hu, you will hear a few different terms related to gates.

Some of these are explained in our comprehensive post on the subject, and I recommend you start there for a foundational understanding of gates.

What Are Hanging Gates?

In Human Design, full channels are created by defined gates at either end, in adjacent centers (represented by geometric shapes on a body graph).

When a channel between centers is defined by two activated gates, it also creates definition in both centres at either end.

What Are Dormant Gates or Sleeping Gates?

While hanging gates are classified in reference to the incomplete definition in their channel, sleeping or dormant gates relate to the center of an activated gate.
