Gate 36: Crisis

This gate craves the new and tends to arrive in it unprepared.

It sits in the Solar Plexus 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 — 35 — is activated too, either in your own chart or in someone else's while you are with them.

Diving into crisis after crisis without waiting for clarity.

Newness handled with enough patience that it becomes competence.

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.
