Self-love expressed in the way you act.
This guide is part of the Human Design gates. To see whether it shows up in yours, get your free Human Design chart or start with the complete Human Design guide.
The gift of this gate
Being true to yourself and loving yourself as you are.
The shadow
Self-criticism and trying to be someone else.
Recognizing the shadow isn't a judgment: it's a sign that this energy is operating from conditioning rather than from your nature.
Conscious or unconscious
If Gate 10 appears in black on your chart (Personality), it is a trait you know about yourself. If it appears in red (Design), it is something others see in you before you do, more tied to the body and to what you inherited.
The channels it forms
Gate 10 belongs to the G Center and connects with Gate 20 and Gate 34 and Gate 57. If you have one of them too, a channel forms and both centers become defined. If not, it is a hanging gate: you will feel drawn to people who carry the complementary gate.

What is a hanging gate?+
An activated gate whose channel isn't complete in your chart. It represents a theme you look for in others: you are drawn to people who have the complementary gate.
