Libra - Gate 18: Work On What Has Been Spoilt (The Gate Of Correction)

Taste, the focus of judgment on dissatisfaction.
This gate is where we receive our deepest conditioning from our parents.
In the I'Ching this gate is referred to as Work on what has been spoilt.
It is through this gate that a woman is conditioned by her Father,
and where a man is conditioned by his Mother.
The Oedipus / Electra Gate.
This isn't to say that this is a negative.
It is the gate of essential learning,
and as a result is the gate of Correction.
This is where we learn generationally,
from parent to child.
The 18th gate activated in a chart is an indication,
that there has been deep conditioning from the parent.
It is through this 'imprinting' that a certain standard has been established.
These conditioned standards will form the basis,
for comparison and will be applied to everything;
lovers, work, oneself, and the reality despite circumstances,
will always invite the potential of Correction.
The very vitality of this channel denies resignation,
and the need to correct,
to improve is a life long process.
Without the dissatisfaction and the drive for perfection,
which hones the critical skills,
there is no understanding.
Here is where the potential of Taste is born.
