Gate 18: Correction

This gate spots what is wrong with a pattern and wants to correct it.

It sits in the Spleen 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 — 58 — is activated too, either in your own chart or in someone else's while you are with them.

Criticising people rather than patterns, uninvited.

Correction that genuinely improves things for everyone.

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.
