Gate 49, The Gate of Rejection

February 7 - February 12

Are you feeling sensitive – or not?

With the transit into Gate 49, we start upon a journey through some potentially emotional times.

During the next several months we’ll be in the ‘feelings’ zone with only one exception when we take a short detour into The Gate of Logic. It may be a time to experience feelings, cultivate relationships and evolve emotionally.

You may not always know what you want until you discover what you don’t want.

This solar transit can bring the full spectrum of sensitivity from being very sensitive to being very insensitive. And, it’s an emotional energy that operates in a wave … up and down then up and down again.

Last week’s transit was about what you need to learn to develop your own unique direction and identity in life moving forward. This gate reminds you to have courage to radically change when needed and renew the way you bring yourself to the world.

Could it be a time to change the rules; add the unexpected; or perhaps dare to be unconventional?

Are others standing by your side and supporting you – or not? And, do they share your principles – or not?

Maybe it’s time for a change, or not.

These are questions that may arise during this transit. Depending on your mood, you may feel a need to reject others (or things) that you don’t feel are supporting you.

And, depending on your individual design – your nature – this might cause you to make hasty decisions about relationships.

During this sensitive – and potentially emotional time – be mindful to communicate clearly (and often) so that you can maintain clarity in your relationships.

The grounding forces of the Earth may bring a deepening anxiety to have answers to all your doubts.

Remember to follow your deep inner authority during this time of sensitivity, revolution, and potential need to have answers to all your doubts.

Being clear on what you need from others, and communicating those needs, might lessen the need for sudden or grandiose changes (revolution) in your life.

If you’re able to meet the needs of others, when correct for you, may avoid their need to ‘revolt.’

Life always brings a need to balance your needs with the needs of others, so be true to who you are. You’ll discover that ‘this’ is the person you were meant to be.
