Gate 9: Focus

This gate supplies the sacral energy to stay with the small details of a project.

It sits in the Sacral 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 — 52 — is activated too, either in your own chart or in someone else's while you are with them.

Focusing intently on something with no logical value.

Sustained concentration that finishes what pattern recognition started.

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.
