This week the sun transits Gate 7 in the Human Design Mandala. (August 5th-10th, Tuesday through Sunday). This gate is all about Guidance, and the potential to lead in a coordinated effort. All efforts require shared discipline, and the deeper gift of a leader is to empower others and to be an example. The potential here is most exemplified in Virtue. And “virtue is its own reward.” It points to the reality that our guides are here from a future state of being that we are evolving towards. The shadow here is believing we are all in it for ourselves. The secret of this gate is that our Guidance, and our Virtue, are present in our own integrity, responsibility, and self-discipline that come with Virtue. What if we forgot the illusion we are all in it for ourselves? What if we allowed our gifts to shine without being divided by the illusions of self-interest?
