These 12 gates operate through your body — unconscious energies others often see in you before you recognize them yourself.
Gate 54: The Gate of Ambition
Root Center — Design Sun | Line 4
The Gate of Ambition is about having big ambitions within the community. It gives a strong push to be materially successful, attain a higher status within the community, and move up the social ladder, often relying on the right connections with those in positions of power.
Being in the Root Center, it puts pressure on making ambitious business deals and money, thus drawing the attention and support of higher-ranking individuals.
Gate 53: The Gate of Beginnings
Root Center — Design Moon | Line 4
The Gate of Beginnings is about getting things started. Being in the Root Center, it puts constant pressure to begin something new, even without knowing where it will lead and whether it will be completed at all.
Here, Gate 53 needs the Sacral Power of Gate 42 in order to push things to completion. When confronted with the same old scenarios, you may become severely bored and confined. It also has a mutative potential since sometimes, in order to start something new, a mutation process is needed.
Gate 3: The Gate of Ordering
Sacral Center — Design Earth | Line 1
The Gate of Ordering is all about completion — urging to finish or complete things. There isn't always a clear direction when starting projects or tasks, but the Gate of Ordering eventually brings resolutions and completion to those tasks.
Since this Gate is always ready to do something new, it needs to exercise discipline and wait for the right moment and conditions so it can bring forward a resolution. Confusion and ambiguity are normal aspects of the creative process — clarity and order will emerge through experimentation.
Gate 44: The Gate of Alertness
Spleen Center — Design North Node | Line 6
The Gate of Alertness, being in the Spleen Center, is about instinct and survival by looking at past patterns, capabilities, and potential of others. It has instinctive knowledge of other people's skills and what did or did not work in the past.
Gate 44 can assess the current material needs and determine the proper action to take. It's all about making sure material needs will be met through collaboration.
Gate 24: The Gate of Rationalizing
Ajna Center — Design South Node | Line 6
The Gate of Rationalizing is about thinking over and over, seeking to rationalize your thoughts. It's constantly selecting useful and potentially inspiring ideas for others.
Gate 24, in combination with Gate 61's inspiration and push for exploring Inner Truth, can unleash highly creative energy that could bring forward mystical knowledge. Gate 24 shapes all that inspiration coming from 61 into a rational form, preparing it to be put into words so it can be shared. However, it needs clarity when rationalizing; otherwise, it could get stuck in its own rationalizations.
Gate 41: The Gate of Contraction
Root Center — Design Mercury | Line 3
The Gate of Contraction is driven by a constant urge to experience new feelings, the impulse to do something new as a way to set yourself free from restricting circumstances. Gate 41 often lives in a 'castle in the clouds' because it's the Gate of fantasy, dreaming, and most importantly — hope.
This hope, combined with the Root Center being a pressure Center, gives the pressure to find excitement and the thirst for destiny, which is often experienced as strong unrest. It has the energy of contracting or pulling back — regrouping in preparation for the next expansion.
Gate 34: The Gate of Power
Sacral Center — Design Venus | Line 2
The Gate of Power is the core of the Sacral Center's energetic potential. It's the busiest and most capable of all 64 Gates. Its huge supply of energy is unconditional and brings power to three other Gates — 57, 20, and 10.
Because of the multiple channels it can fuel, it will manifest in different forms. Gate 34 is independent and self-centered and shouldn't feel guilty about it. Having this Gate, you want to always demonstrate how different you are from others. This hard-working Gate doesn't need outside motivators and can empower itself.
Gate 59: The Gate of Sexuality
Sacral Center — Design Mars | Line 3
The Gate of Sexuality is about fertility, seduction, and the drive to reproduce and leave something behind — be it children or lasting projects. Gate 59 has a very strong sacral sexual power which aims to create closeness, enter into relationships, and break boundaries.
This isn't only in an intimate way but also within the community. For marriage: You carry powerful intimacy energy — the drive to merge and dissolve barriers between you and your partner.
Gate 9: The Gate of Focus
Sacral Center — Design Jupiter | Line 1
The Gate of Focus is always overwhelmed and/or distracted by the details. It's important for Gate 9 to use its focus on those small details to reach the bigger goal. This Gate represents the core energy of focusing on the little details, allowing you to hold your attention on those details for a long time.
It plays an important role in the Logical Circuit, where the energy is scarce, by forcing you to pay attention to reduce wasting energy. It's all about where you put your focus and which details you pay attention to that influences your journey.
Gate 37: The Gate of Friendship
Solar Plexus — Design Saturn | Line 4
The Gate of Friendship is about recognition through family or community. It offers support and nourishment to the group and holds the family/community together. Gate 37 recognizes that every relationship is built on agreements and, for its support and loyalty, it expects something in return.
It holds on to these bargains and, being in the Solar Plexus, violating said agreements can push the Gate to extreme emotions, turning friends into arch-enemies. For your network: Your relationships thrive on mutual agreements and loyalty.
Gate 61: The Gate of Mystery
Head Center — Design Uranus & Neptune | Line 6
The Gate of Mystery is about seeking to know the unknowable, the "Why" in life and mysticism. This Gate is very attracted to occult knowledge, gains mutative inspiration with potentially lasting impact on others, and has the ability to simply know without using logic.
Being in the Head Center, Gate 61 has constant pressure to dig deep into the mysteries of life — things that cannot be known. You enjoy the drive to find answers. It's important to accept that some things cannot be known — and that's okay.
Gate 14: The Gate of Power Skills
Sacral Center — Design Pluto | Line 6
The Gate of Power Skills energy fuels your direction in life. It's located in the channel of the beat and is called "Keeper of the Keys." This energy is fuel to empower the self. Gate 14 allows any act of creation to increase your energy instead of spending it.
Being in the Sacral Center, this Gate enjoys working and attracts "Possession in Great Measure" through its abundant resources. It carries an assurance that wealth or material things are guaranteed through your gifts. Key: You must always do only what you love to do.
