What several sources agree on
- You question inherited rules, especially the patterns handed down by your parents.
- Improvement happens step by step, with no final perfection to reach.
- Wait to be asked for your critical eye; offered unprompted, it lands as blame.
- The trap: turning your high standards on yourself; self-acceptance balances it out.
- You are valuable for reworking shaky processes and helping a team run better.
Its center
Spleen (instinct): Your in-the-moment instinct and your sense of what's safe for you and what isn't.
Where it sits
From 3°53′ Libra to 9°30′ Libra in the zodiac. The Sun passes through it every year from about September 27 to October 2 (give or take a day, depending on the year). If you were born between those dates, this is the gate of your conscious Sun.
Its channel
A gate forms a channel when its partner gate is also activated in your chart.
