Gate 13: The Listener

This gate draws out people's secrets and holds the story of what happened.

It sits in the G 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 — 33 — is activated too, either in your own chart or in someone else's while you are with them.

Carrying other people's confidences as if they were yours to solve.

Being the trusted witness who can reflect direction back.

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.
