Gate 7 · The Role of the Self

Gate 7, the Gate of The Role of the Self, sits in the G center, the center of identity, love and direction. In the mandala it spans 13°15′ Leo to 18°52′ Leo, and the Sun crosses it around August 7 – 13 every year: five and a half days when its theme colors the collective weather for everyone.

Its channel

With Gate 31 (Influence) in the Throat center it forms the Channel of The Alpha (7-31): Leadership by election: influence that must be recognized.

On its own, without its harmonic gate, Gate 7 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 7 anchors the Right Angle Cross of the Sphinx, the Juxtaposition Cross of Interaction or the Left Angle Cross of Masks: the incarnation-cross life themes carried out into the world.
