Gate 10 · Self-love

There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 10 · Self-love and where it sits in the bodygraph.

Gate 10 in Human Design stands in the G centre and is called the gate of self-love: the theme of behaviour in which you stay yourself, and of self-regard as the foundation for everything else. It joins three channels at once, with gates 20, 34 and 57, tying self-acceptance to action in the moment, to power and to intuition. As a personality activation this registers as attention to how you carry yourself and how you treat yourself; in the design it is an inborn way of holding yourself that others can see. The system reads this gate simply: caring for your own dignity is groundwork rather than selfishness, the condition under which the rest of the chart works. What does being on your own side mean in your everyday actions?
