The G Centre in Human Design: Defined and Open
Identity, direction and love. The G Centre holds the sense of who you are and where you are going. Defined, you have a consistent sense of self and direction. Open or undefined, your sense of self and direction changes with the people and places around you. It holds 8 gates and links to the liver (directional).

Discover the Human Design Centres: Where you are consistent, where you absorb everyone else, and why some of your moods may not be yours.
A defined G centre is a consistent source
You have a consistent sense of self and direction. You know who you are, even when you cannot explain where you are going.
The gift: A steady identity and direction that others can orient by.
An open G centre takes in and amplifies
Your sense of self and direction changes with the people and places around you. Identity is discovered through experience, not fixed in advance. Places matter greatly, because the right environment brings the right people.
The wisdom it can grow: Letting identity emerge, and knowing that the right place brings the right direction. Being many things without being lost.
The conditioning to notice: Pressure to know who you are and where you are going, and the fear of being no one without it.
The not-self question: “Am I still looking for love and direction?”
