Gate 15:
Modesty
(The Gate Of Extremes)
Gate 15:
Modesty.
The Gate Of Extremes.
Channel:
15/5 - Rhythm.
The design of being in the flow.
Harmonic Gate:
5 - Waiting.
Center:
G.
Circuit:
Understanding.
Astrological Position:
"28° 15' 00 - 03° 52' 30".
Zodiac Symbol:
Gemini.
Incarnation Cross:
The Right Angle Cross of the Vessel of Love 2
The 15th gate is part of the Cross of the Vessel.
It is the gate of the 'Aura' and is the Self that is magnetic.
The Love of this gate is for Humanity.
This channel defined always determines the rhythm of the environment.
Modesty in the traditional sense is always a matter of balancing extremes.
Through this gate,
the possible extremes are lived out.
People who are busy and not,
sleep long and short,
eat early,
eat late;
in other words,
people who will live out extremes in their rhythm.
In Design Analysis,
in working with composites,
there is a type of connection called Electro-Magnetic.
In this connection each partner activates the opposite gate of a channel forming a definition.
This is attraction / repulsion,
love / hate,
a basic relationship dynamic.
However,
in three cases (45/21, 35/36 and 5/15) this type of connection is very difficult.
The 15th gate is uncomfortable with a fixed pattern and the 5th gate destabilized by extreme rhythms.
THE QUALITY OF BEHAVIOUR WHICH EXPRESSES THE PROPER BALANCE BETWEEN EXTREMES.
Gate 15.1: Duty.
The ability to confront any challenge without expectations.
Exaltation:
Harmonic relationships which give support for the fulfillment of any task.
The capacity of the Self to confront any challenge through extreme and harmonic relationships.
Detriment:
Alienation engendered through exaggerated claims.

Gate 15.2: Influence.
The ability to lead by serving the will of the majority.
Exaltation:
Modesty and right action result in enduring standards.
The capacity of the Self to accept its extreme nature as correct.
Detriment:
Where the Sun's actions are natural,
the Earth's are contrived,
though given the power of this position,
the same effect can be expected.
The capacity to use the extreme nature of the Self to influence others.
Gate 15.3: Ego inflation.
The risk that modesty once recognized will self-destruct.
Exaltation:
Where the otherwise negative contrived modesty is here reinforced by recognition and maintained as an effective strategy.
The extremism of the Self as strategy to control the flow.
Detriment:
The 'I told you so' mentality.
The capacity of the Self to point out the extremes of others.
Gate 15.4: The wallflower.
Modesty as a shield against exposure of inadequacy.
Exaltation:
A genuine form that may/or may not mask inadequacies.
The uncomfortableness of the Self when it is out of the flow.
Detriment:
An ultimately weak defense leading to exposure and humiliation.
Extremism that keeps the Self out of the flow.

Modesty that is never confused with weakness.
Exaltation:
Constant reexamination to weed out the weakest aspect.
The power of the Self in exploring the extremes to find the weakest point.

A tendency to use harmony as a weapon in problem situations rather than focusing on the root causes.
The power of the Self to ignore the weakest point in favor of harmony.
