Gate 8: Standing out

You like adding your own touch to a shared project and helping creative work, yours or someone else's, get seen.

What several sources agree on
  • With gate 1 you form a pair: one creates, the other carries the work out to people.
  • Knowing when to offer your contribution and when to stay quiet spares you a lot of letdowns.
  • Showing what sets you apart often encourages others to dare the same.
  • You often see where things are heading without being able to map the route, and ask people to trust you.
  • Jumping in at the wrong time or giving too much can leave you used or pushed aside.
Its center

Throat: Speaking and doing: what comes out of you and into the world.

Where it sits

From 24°30′ Taurus to 0°08′ Gemini in the zodiac. The Sun passes through it every year from about May 15 to May 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.
