Gate 2 · Direction of the Self
Gate 2, the Gate of Direction of the Self, sits in the G center, the center of identity, love and direction. In the mandala it spans 13°15′ Taurus to 18°52′ Taurus, and the Sun crosses it around May 5 – 10 every year: five and a half days when its theme colors the collective weather for everyone.
Its channel
With Gate 14 (Power Skills) in the Sacral center it forms the Channel of The Beat (2-14): The keeper of the keys: direction fueled by resources.
On its own, without its harmonic gate, Gate 2 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 2 anchors the Right Angle Cross of the Sphinx, the Juxtaposition Cross of the Driver or the Left Angle Cross of Defiance: the incarnation-cross life themes carried out into the world.
