Gate 12: Caution

This gate can articulate feeling and nuance, but only when the mood and moment are right.

It sits in the Throat centre, so its expression depends on whether that centre is defined in your chart. A gate on its own is a half-channel: it only becomes consistent definition when a partner gate — 22 — is activated too, either in your own chart or in someone else's while you are with them.

Speaking at the wrong moment, then withdrawing entirely.

Expression that moves people because it arrived in the right moment.

As with every gate, correct expression is downstream of your type and authority. The gate describes the flavour of the energy; your strategy decides when it gets used.
