Gate 2 · Direction
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 2 · Direction and where it sits in the bodygraph.
Gate 2 in the Human Design tradition is called the seat of the driver: in the G centre it carries the sense of direction, a quiet pull that rarely knows how to explain itself in words. In the channel with gate 14 that sense joins the energy of the Sacral centre, and the course gains resources to move. As a personality activation it feels like consciously checking your inner compass; in the design it is more of a natural lean, one that others notice in your turns before you name them. The system suggests noticing where you are already being turned instead of picking a direction by willpower. This is an observation, no guarantee of a route. If you listen right now, where does your compass point?
