Solar Transit and Gate 24: The Gate of Returning

Inspiration Must be Given A Rational Form

The gate of Returning makes us go over old grounds over and over again, rationalising everything to find the ultimate answer. It is the gate of the mind, so it can be quite an obsessive fixation. This also means you can get stuck in a certain way of thinking and doing things because they are familiar.

Try allowing the mind to process new materials and possibilities in order to stop spinning in circles. Try new things, listen to new podcasts, and read new books. You might even find new ways to validate what you have already mastered or new ways to present your mastery.

Earth in gate 44 (The Gate of Alertness)

Earth is grounding us with the ability to spot potential and emerging patterns and trends with gate 44. Trust your intuition when you feel that you have found something that may be worth developing. Beware of getting stuck in past failures and traumas (fear of the past is this gate’s shadow), especially if your Spleen is undefined.

Harmonic Gate

If you have Gate 61 (The Gate of Mystery or Inner Truth), you may find yourself processing at a faster pace than usual. Expect flashes of inspiration that what your mind is fixating on and the patterns you spot are true to your authentic self. And go for it,

But not straight away. This is not the time for taking active action, because the mind is too busy. Brainstorm, plan, outline your projects, and write or dictate your content drafts; you will do your best to capture all the wonderful insights as they come, and you can do the polishing, editing, cleaning up and releasing it all later.

Try relaxing more this week to let your mind wander. Take a digital detox, allowing yourself to think, take walks in nature, or long drives. At the same time, allow the mental chatter without compromising your quality of life, and do not allow yourself to get fixated and stuck on thinking about things irrelevant or not important to you.

With all this mental activity, insight may come flooding, so having a notebook, dictation app, or simply sending yourself WhatsApp voice notes is a good way to capture those. This is an excellent week to allow those downloads to come.
