Gate 40 · Aloneness
Gate 40, the Gate of Aloneness, sits in the Heart center, the small but potent center of will and worth. In the mandala it spans 5°45′ Virgo to 11°22′ Virgo, and the Sun crosses it around August 30 – September 5 every year: five and a half days when its theme colors the collective weather for everyone.
Its channel
With Gate 37 (Friendship) in the Solar Plexus center it forms the Channel of Community (37-40): The bargain: belonging held together by agreement.
On its own, without its harmonic gate, Gate 40 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 40 anchors the Right Angle Cross of Planning, the Juxtaposition Cross of Denial or the Left Angle Cross of Migration: the incarnation-cross life themes carried out into the world.
