Where Gate 14 sits
Gate 14 belongs to the Sacral centre, the centre of life force and work energy: the gut response that powers sustained effort. A gate is one of the 64 openings on the bodygraph; when a planet sat in its arc of the zodiac at your birth or in your Design period, the gate is active in your chart and colours how that centre shows up for you.
Its channels
With Gate 2 (Direction of the Self) it forms the Channel of The Beat, joining the Sacral and G / Identity centres. When both gates are active in a chart, that channel is defined and both centres run consistently.
The I Ching root
Each Human Design gate maps to one of the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. Gate 14 corresponds to hexagram 14, Possession in Great Measure, which is where its keynote, Power Skills, draws its theme.

How these positions are worked out
Gate positions follow the standard Human Design wheel: 64 gates of 5°37′30″ each, with Gate 41 starting at 2°00′ Aquarius, the same table the site's bodygraph calculator uses. The Sun's dates are drawn from its apparent position for the year shown, so they shift by up to a day between years.
