Gate 10 · Behavior of the Self
Gate 10, the Gate of Behavior of the Self, sits in the G center, the center of identity, love and direction. In the mandala it spans 28°15′ Sagittarius to 3°52′ Capricorn, and the Sun crosses it around December 21 – 27 every year: five and a half days when its theme colors the collective weather for everyone.
Its channels
With Gate 20 (The Now) in the Throat center it forms the Channel of Awakening (10-20): Commitment to your own principles, lived out loud, now.
With Gate 34 (Power) in the Sacral center it forms the Channel of Exploration (10-34): Conviction: following what you love as a way of life.
With Gate 57 (Intuitive Clarity) in the Spleen center it forms the Channel of Perfected Form (10-57): Survival through intuition: the beauty of living well.
On its own, without one of its harmonic gates, Gate 10 is a hanging gate: a consistent theme in you that instinctively seeks its other half in the people around you. That pull is real chemistry, and knowing it changes how you read your relationships.
On the incarnation crosses
For people born with the Sun here, Gate 10 anchors the Right Angle Cross of the Vessel of Love, the Juxtaposition Cross of Behavior or the Left Angle Cross of Prevention: the incarnation-cross life themes carried out into the world.
