Gate 46:
Pushing Upward.
(The Gate Of The Determination of The Self)

A design of succeeding where others fail

"28° 15' 00 - 03° 52' 30"
Zodiac Symbol:
VIrgo.
Incarnation Cross:
Right Angle Cross of the Vessel of Love 3.
This gate is part of the Cross of the Vessel.
It is a gate of Love,
the love of the body and the flesh.
This is the gate of Serendipity,
of recognizing that beginning with one's own body,
the body as Temple,
that one is always in the right place,
at the right time.
This can be a gate of discovery and Good Fortune.
It is all dependent on the Determination of the Self.
The Design of 'Succeeding where other people fail' is also inversely a Design of 'Failing where other people succeed.'
It is through this channel that the Abstract process can find its promise or chaos.
The determination to accept that one is in the right place is deeply spiritual.
It is surrender to the cycle and in that surrender is the potential for discovery.
It is also clear,
that unless the abstract being can accept and commit themselves to the cyclic nature of their lives,
their bodies will begin to fail under the stress of constant crisis,
disappointment and upheaval.
