Gate 57 – Intuition
Your child is like a sensor for good and bad vibes. When they hear something strange, they prick up their ears like an attentive fox and instantly know whether danger is near or everything is fine. They pick up every little vibration and respond with the precision of a tuning fork.
Your child’s intuition works like a built-in early warning system that instantly signals “all clear” or “better keep your distance.” They could easily work as a human lie detector, because they sense immediately when someone isn’t being honest. Their hearing is highly selective, automatically filtering important sounds from background noise.
Create quiet spaces for your child so they aren’t overwhelmed by too many sounds. Trust that your child’s intuition will steer your family in the right direction.

Tribal Circuit
“We are alike and support each other.”
Groups
If your child carries strong tribal energy, they help bring people together into groups who are alike and support one another. For example, a family might be connected through the same bloodline or shared values. These communities are not open to everyone. Your child’s loyalty and support are reserved for like-minded individuals. The motivation behind this is to survive as a tribe, which can also spark conflict between different groups.
How does our tribe survive?
The big questions your child with tribal energy asks are: How do we survive? Do we have a roof over our heads or enough food? If these needs aren’t met, they may feel restless and want to change the situation.
Deals / Trade
Your child instinctively understands that resources are exchanged in ways that benefit the group. With this energy, they make deals or agreements that hold value for the tribe. These don’t have to be written. A promise or handshake means a lot. If someone breaks that promise, your child may lose trust in them.
Traditions
If your child has a lot of tribal energy, they take pride in their origins and uphold traditions. For instance, they may pass on grandma’s recipes or celebrate ritual holidays with special devotion.

What are Gates in Human Design?
Imagine your child is a beautiful old castle. In this castle, there are 64 different doors. These are the Gates in Human Design. Each door leads to a different room with unique qualities, talents and characteristics.
Some doors are wide open in your child. These are the activated Gates. Through these open doors, energy flows constantly. They show where your child is especially strong, what they naturally do well and how they inspire others.
Other doors are closed or just slightly ajar. This does not mean your child does not have these traits. It simply means they are not expressed automatically. These rooms are entered only when certain people come into their life or special situations arise.
The magic lies in this: no child has the same doors open. While one child shines through the Gate of creativity, another glows through the Gate of leadership or intuition. That is why every child is so uniquely wonderful.
As a parent, the Gates help you understand why your child sometimes reacts so differently than expected and why that is perfectly right and important.
