Human Design Gate 31 — Activated by the Sun on July 24, 2025
Theme: Leadership, communication, and influence that serves the collective
If you’ve been feeling a pull to lead or speak up, this energy might be why.
The Sun is currently activating Gate 31, also known as the Gate of Influence. This gate lives in the Throat Center and connects to Gate 7 in the G Center to form the Channel of the Alpha, one of the most powerful leadership channels in the Human Design system. This energy isn’t about control or status it’s purpose is influence rooted in service.

Gate 31 holds leadership energy and wants to influence. This gate listens, observes, and then speaks when the time feels right, bringing a clear way of speaking that moves people. The most aligned expression of this energy uplifts others, helping people see what’s possible and how to get there.
But like everything that exists, it also comes with lessons and challenges. This gate can fear the spotlight or, on the flip side, misuse its power. When ungrounded, it may manipulate instead of inspire or seek control instead of collaboration.
If this energy is defined in your chart, you may find that people often look to you to lead or speak for the group. There’s a natural pull to your words, especially when you have a an intentional purpose behind your message. You may feel a responsibility to be intentional with how and when you use your voice.
If Gate 31 is undefined for you, this transit is a chance to notice where you feel called to lead or where you’re avoiding it. You may feel more vocal, more visible, or more aware of how your words influence others during this time.
Ways You Might Feel This Energy:
• Feeling called to step into leadership
• Wanting to articulate a bigger vision
• Noticing where your words carry weight
• Questioning your influence or leadership style
• Feeling pressure to “have the answers” or be responsible for others
Journal Prompts to Work With Gate 31:
• What does leadership look like for me when I’m not trying to prove anything?
