Gate 55: Spirit

This gate governs mood and the personal question of what your spirit relies on.

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 — 39 — is activated too, either in your own chart or in someone else's while you are with them.

Attaching your spirit to circumstances, moods or another person.

A spirit that stands on its own, whatever the mood.

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.
