Gate 19: Wanting

This gate senses material and emotional needs, both yours and the group's.

It sits in the Root 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 — 49 — is activated too, either in your own chart or in someone else's while you are with them.

Constant neediness, or ignoring your own needs to serve the group.

Accurate awareness of what the group actually needs to survive well.

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.
