Gate 40: Earned rest

You work hard for your people, then need some time alone to catch your breath.

What several sources agree on
  • Reliable, you hold up your end of a deal and count on others doing likewise.
  • With someone carrying gate 37, their loyalty can make room for your need for rest and distance.
  • Say plainly what you are willing to give, what you expect back, and when you need to be alone.
  • People value you as a pillar who keeps the family, team or company running.
  • Views differ: some say you are shielded from overwork, others that you tend to overdo it.
  • Watch out for doing other people's share until you are swamped, then doubting what you achieved.
Its center

Heart (willpower): Your willpower, your promises and how worthy you feel.

Where it sits

From 5°45′ Virgo to 11°23′ Virgo in the zodiac. The Sun passes through it every year from about August 29 to September 3 (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.
