Gate 6: Right distance

Your mood often decides who gets close to you, and when it is better to keep some air between you.

What several sources agree on
  • It sits in the solar plexus, where the flow of feelings between people gets regulated.
  • Let the wave pass before deciding or confronting anyone; stepping back usually beats reacting.
  • A bit of friction helps you grow; without tension, deeper understanding rarely comes.
  • You carry what it takes to untangle disagreements and to mature through the feelings you live.
  • Linked to gate 59, it plays a big part in physical closeness and intimacy.
Its center

Solar plexus (emotions): Your emotions, your moods and how they color your choices.

Where it sits

From 22°38′ Virgo to 28°15′ Virgo in the zodiac. The Sun passes through it every year from about September 15 to September 20 (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.
