Gate 42 · Growth
Gate 42, the Gate of Growth, sits in the Sacral center, the life-force generator of the bodygraph. In the mandala it spans 20°45′ Aries to 26°22′ Aries, and the Sun crosses it around April 12 – 17 every year: five and a half days when its theme colors the collective weather for everyone.
Its channel
With Gate 53 (Beginnings) in the Root center it forms the Channel of Maturation (42-53): Balanced development: cycles begun must be completed.
On its own, without its harmonic gate, Gate 42 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 42 anchors the Right Angle Cross of Maya, the Juxtaposition Cross of Completion or the Left Angle Cross of Limitation: the incarnation-cross life themes carried out into the world.
