Gate 1: The Gate of Self-Expression
Gate 1 is the Gate of self-expression and creativity. It is the energy that inspires you to be your most authentic self, driving you to stand out and express your individuality. This Gate is connected to creativity that stems from deep within and can often be the source of personal breakthroughs.
Defined: With Gate 1 defined, you have a consistent need to express yourself creatively. You may feel a powerful urge to be seen and recognized for your uniqueness. Your self-expression is often an integral part of how you experience the world and how others perceive you.
Undefined: If Gate 1 is undefined, you may not always feel the same creative drive, and your expression of individuality may be more influenced by the people and environment around you. This can make you more adaptable to others, but you may struggle to express yourself authentically at times.
Gate 2: The Gate of Receptivity
Gate 2 is all about direction and receptivity to the guidance that aligns with your higher purpose. This Gate governs your ability to accept direction and allows you to follow your true path with confidence. It’s also about receiving love in the form of direction, support, and understanding.
Defined: If you have Gate 2 defined, you are naturally aligned with your direction in life. You intuitively know where you are meant to go, and you receive guidance from the universe or those around you that supports your journey. Your identity is often clear and centered around your life’s purpose.
Undefined: An undefined Gate 2 may lead to confusion around your direction or purpose. You might feel that your path is unclear or constantly changing based on external influences. However, you can still tap into your higher purpose by tuning into your inner wisdom and listening closely to what resonates with your heart.
Gate 7: The Gate of Role of the Self in Interaction
Gate 7 is about leadership and how we relate to others in groups.

This Gate gives you the ability to align with a specific role in life that is deeply connected to your identity.
Defined: With Gate 7 defined, you may naturally take on leadership roles or feel a strong sense of purpose when working within a group. Your identity is closely tied to how you interact with others and the roles you play in various social structures.
Undefined: If you have Gate 7 undefined, you might feel more flexible in your leadership abilities, adjusting your role depending on the group dynamics or environment.

Gate 13: The Gate of the Listener

Undefined: An undefined Gate 13 may lead to a more fluid and adaptable way of relating to others’ stories. You may not always feel the same pull to listen deeply, but when you do, you might find that others’ experiences influence your direction and understanding of your own identity.
Gate 15: The Gate of Extremes
Gate 15 is all about embracing extremes and understanding the full range of human experience. This Gate governs your ability to embody both the highs and lows of life and to express the fullness of your identity. It’s about honoring your personal rhythm and balance.
Defined: If you have Gate 15 defined, you are likely someone who is not afraid to live fully, embracing all aspects of life. Your identity may be shaped by extremes and a deep understanding of the dualities in life, giving you a unique perspective on the world.
Undefined: With an undefined Gate 15, you might find yourself drawn to extremes or periods of imbalance, but you may not always understand them in the same way. You could experience fluctuations in your identity, which can give you a sense of fluidity and adaptability as you learn to navigate the highs and lows of life.
Gate 25: The Gate of Spirit
Gate 25 is about universal love, compassion, and the ability to connect to the divine or spiritual source. It’s the energy of unconditional love, connecting with something greater than yourself, and finding purpose through that connection. This Gate speaks to the way you connect to your higher self and to the world around you.
Defined: If you have Gate 25 defined, you may feel a deep sense of spiritual connection or purpose that guides your life. Your identity is often shaped by a strong sense of universal love and a desire to share that love with others.
