Trusting the Flow of Inspiration

Gate 1 – The Creative

Creativity is one of those mysterious, beautiful forces that lives in all of us. Because everything we do requires creativity. When you are preparing your morning toast and how you put the butter on the toast requires some degree of creativity. Just some of us make it even more creative and unusual way.

Just like with all other type of creative expressions.

This week, the Sun moves into the energy of Gate 1 – The Creative, the pure expression of inspiration that wants to fill life with freshness, beauty, and novelty.

I don’t have this gate defined/fixed in my human design chart, but I have its partner — Gate 8, the promoter of creativity — sitting in my Throat Center.

And, ironically, people always say that I’m creative. But what I’ve come to understand over time is that my creativity doesn’t come from me — it comes through me. It shows up when the environment, the people, the energy around me align in the right way — when I feel supported, seen, and recognised. Although I can be so creative in the moment with my painting, cooking, or whatever i am doing, but that’s for joy and fun, when my creative potential is truly recognised, that’s a different story.

That’s the nature of this energy.

Gate 1 is highly individual. It lives in the G Center, the place of direction, love, and identity — the home of our magnetic monopole, the force that holds our life together in perfect alignment.
This energy reminds us that we are each utterly unique — that only you can be in the place you are, at the time you are, seeing and expressing what only you can.

But here’s the catch: creativity is a projected energy. Which means it thrives on recognition. You can be the most creative person in the world, but if your gifts aren’t seen, acknowledged, or received — it can feel like they don’t matter.
And that can create deep melancholy, the sadness that no one sees your light.

The truth is, creativity flows in cycles — highs and lows, bursts and stillness. It’s not about being productive all the time; it’s about learning to trust the rhythm of your inspiration. The low phases, the quiet moments, the sadness — they are not signs that something’s wrong. They are the soil where your next idea is growing. The stillness, the pause, the emptiness — they prepare you for what’s coming next.

So during these next 6 days, try this:
✨ Trust that you are exactly where you need to be.
✨ Honour your own rhythm.
✨ Let your creativity rest when it wants to rest.
✨ Let it bloom when it’s ready to bloom.

You are not behind.
You are not missing anything.
You are part of the natural flow of creation — a living artwork, forever in progress.

So love yourself through all of it, the bright and the dim, the joy and the melancholy. Because even in your stillness, life is creating through you.
