Human Design Gate 25 is located in the Ego / Will / Heart Center, and is often referred to as the Gate of Universal Love.
This Gate is an invitation to open your heart wider than ever before and to experience the boundless love that is your true nature.
Imagine living from a place where every action, every word, is an expression of this deep, unconditional love. That’s the magical realm of Gate 25.
The Shadow: Constriction
Before we can bask in the light of universal love, we must acknowledge the shadow that often lurks within us – Constriction.
This shadow manifests as fear, the kind of fear that tightens our hearts and dims our inner light. It might be the fear of not being enough, the fear of loss, or the fear of truly being seen.
Recognizing this shadow is the first step toward freedom. It’s about facing those fears with compassion, understanding that they’re just scared parts of ourselves calling out for love.
How I face the fears and step into the gift – Acceptance – is by using my 6 Liberation Layers EFT tapping.
This is HOW you go through emotions, and release them from your nervous system, so that you can finally act and think in those healthy ways that lead to manifesting all your desires!
The Gift: Acceptance
As we shine the light of awareness on our fears, we begin to unlock the gift of this Gate – Acceptance. Acceptance is the powerful alchemy that transforms fear into love. It’s about embracing every part of our journey, the light and the shadow, with an open heart.
When we accept ourselves fully, we create space for healing, for growth, and for the true expression of our soul’s essence. Acceptance allows us to flow with life, to dance with the divine, and to radiate love from a place of wholeness.
The Siddhi: Universal Love
This is where we transcend the personal and tap into the infinite wellspring of love that is our birthright.
In this state, our hearts are so open, so full of divine love, that we see the interconnectedness of all things. We live in a state of constant communion with the divine, seeing the love of God in everyone and everything.
Universal love is not just a feeling, it’s a way of being, a profound realization that we are all expressions of the same divine love.
So as you journey with Gate 25, remember that every moment is an opportunity to choose love over fear, to open your heart a little wider, and to let your light shine a little brighter.
Trust in the transformative power of love, for it is the highest truth and your most natural state. You are a vessel of divine love, here to bring healing, peace, and unity to this world. Embrace this sacred journey, and let the love that you are illuminate every corner of your life and touch every soul you meet.
You are loved, you are love, and you are infinitely supported by the universe.

Gate 25 in Business
Gate 25 can take your heart-centered business to a whole new level of magnetism and impact. You’ve got this incredible energy within you, and it’s time to unleash it fully into your work and mission.
Gate 25 isn’t about playing small or staying comfortable. It’s about tapping into the pure, magnetic power of Love and letting that be the driving force behind your business.
This is where you start making moves, decisions, offers and content from a place of Love and sharing with the aim to bring more peace and connection into everyone’s lives.
Facing Constriction
You’re going to hit walls. That’s a given. The shadow of constriction might try to hold you back, whispering doubts and fears about whether you’re enough or if your vision is too “out there.”
This is the time to tell the Shadows to shut up and turn your focus towards the fact that this is an abundant world, and that whatever is on your mind, whatever you desire to put out there, is needed by tens of thousands of people.
The desires you can’t stop thinking of are the exact ones meant for you in this lifetime.
Use these moments of fear and doubt to clear them away immediately using EFT Tapping and my 6 Liberation Layers.
I personally love being triggered, as these high emotions are the perfect time to release them from my system and liberate myself forever!
This is how my clients and I easily turn negative situations into victories that lead to long term success and amplified magnetism.
Constraints are just illusions created by focusing on lack. To break through you need to release the stuck emotions (with EFT), after which you naturally access thoughts of abundance.
It’s like when my client says “But how will I get that many more clients?”, and I start to show them allll the pathways – from your podcast, past client referrals, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, blog, LinkedIn… You have SO many avenues through which someone desiring a transformation can find you, learn what you do, and choose to reach out! It’s just your focus on lack and constriction that blocks you from seeing abundance.
When you unblock your mind and unblock your emotions, you can finally use that energy for creation instead of survival!
The Most Powerful Weapon
As you already know, accepting where you are In the world of heart-centered entrepreneurship, acceptance is your secret weapon. It’s about embracing the full spectrum of your journey – the successes, the failures, the whole messy, beautiful ride.
Acceptance allows you to stay grounded and centered, even when the entrepreneurial seas get choppy. It’s from this place of deep acceptance of where you are, and then clearing what blocks you, that you’ll find the energy, motivation and courage to make bold moves that magnetize money, clients and opportunities!
Building a Business That Radiates Love
What would happen if every piece of content you created made someone feel seen and heard?
To do that, all you need is to lovingly listen to what people say, how they describe the situations that block them, and the juicy desires they have. They leave clues everywhere – in other people’s comment sections, in groups, chats, Zoom calls…
When you use people’s exact words for your content hooks and headlines, you grab their attention and make them feel seen.
When you share your own stories of tackling those same doubts and fears, or boldly going for those same desires, you create relatable content.
So never underestimate the impact and magnetism of a heart-centered business over a toxic capitalistic one.
When you operate from a place of Universal Love, you’re not just building a brand, you’re creating a movement. You’re showing the world that it’s possible to succeed by leading with love, compassion, and authenticity. And trust me, that’s the kind of leadership that makes waves.
Sun Transit in Gate 25
This week, the Sun is inviting us into a heart-expanding journey of Universal Love. It’s a celestial call to open our hearts wider than ever, to dissolve the barriers we’ve built, and to truly embrace the essence of unconditional love that connects us all.
As we step into the energy of Gate 25, remember that Universal Love isn’t just a concept, but the very fabric of the cosmos.
This week set the intention to let everything and everyone remind you of the endless love that the Universe has for you, and let it inspire you to share that love with the world.
If you meet challenges with the mindset of “how could this be teaching me to release something that isn’t serving me and step into my power?” you will turn lead into gold!
Facing the Shadow: Constriction Transformed
This week the shadow of Constriction might surface, bringing up fears and doubts that can feel like they’re squeezing your heart. These feelings are not here to hold you back, but rather to propel you forward.
Use this time to lean into your spiritual practices, to meditate, to journal, and to have honest conversations with your soul. Ask yourself, “What fears need my love and attention right now?”
This is your chance to transform constriction into expansion, to turn fear into love.
The Gift: Acceptance is Your Superpower
This week, harness the gift of Acceptance. See if you can approach each moment with a heart that says, “Yes, I see you, I accept you, and I love you.”
This doesn’t mean you condone negative behavior or situations that don’t serve you. Instead, it’s about acknowledging what is and choosing to respond with love. And most of all love for yourself since most of us are used to self-abandoning and people pleasing.
You can use the miraculous EFT Tapping to accept any negative situation or feeling, and release them from your nervous system so that you can actually embody the mindset that you know you “should” but just can’t access due to the trapped emotions.
Radiating Love: Your Soul’s Purpose
As the Sun illuminates Human Design Gate 25, let it also illuminate your soul’s purpose: to be a beacon of love.
Imagine moving through your week as if you were a lighthouse, your heart’s light cutting through the darkness, guiding others home.
How can you be more loving in your interactions?
How can you show up for others in a way that honors both their journey and yours?
Remember, the smallest act of kindness can ripple out in ways you can’t even imagine.
So as we embrace the Sun’s journey through Gate 25, let’s commit to being warriors of love. Let’s hold space for ourselves and for each other, nurturing the seeds of Universal Love within our hearts.
This week is a divine invitation to live more openly, more lovingly, and more aligned with our highest truth. Trust in the power of love to transform, to heal, and to unite.
You are a vessel of divine love, here to make a difference. Let your light shine bright, and let the love that you are change the world.
