Sun in Gate 37 – The Gate of Friendship

(ready to embrace the outsider)

We are currently in the midst of the solar transit through Gate 37, the gate of friendship and family. This emotional energy is all about the dynamics of relationships, bargaining, and the value we place on our connections.

This transit highlights the theme of finding recognition within a family or a community, as well as loyalty to what you love most in life. Keywords like bargaining, bonds, distribution, and the importance of partnerships are coming to the forefront. There is a focus on nurturing the bonds within the relationships with people in your world. Or indeed, realizing that some bonds have expired and perhaps need to be let go of.

So you may feel incredibly connected and loved, or on the opposite end, you may experience an absolute absence of love and support. Watch out for the co-dependency traits that can come to the surface and turn love into hate. The topics of give and take are also huge during this transit.

This brings the “bargain” into the spotlight. What does each partnership, each collaboration, and each friendship bring into each other’s life? It can also be quite explosive if someone double-crosses you or betrays your trust – they can be forever “banned from your table.”

Emotional waves come with this gate, so we are dealing with the need to have clarity. These bargains need to be constantly adjusted, as some promises can be broken, and some feelings can expire. Loyalty can become disloyalty.

We are also thinking about providing for the family or for our tribes, as the 37 is a distributor in the family. It may be a time for new bonds – partnerships and collaborations. Follow your Strategy and Authority to ensure you enter those correctly.

This energy highlights the sense of responsibility, mutual respect, and cooperation within the group. It is also a very tactile, rather than vocally expressive energy, so you may find comfort in hugs and touch. It will strengthen your bonding process and trust.

Earth in Harmonius Gate 40 (The Gate of Aloneness)

Harmonious Gate 40 and the Channel of Community Interestingly, Gate 37 is harmonized by Gate 40 – the gate of aloneness. This creates the Channel of Community, a projected channel that is all about discovering where we belong in the grand scheme of things.

Earth in Gate 40 (Harmonic Gate) activates this Channel of Community. Instead of trying to figure out where you fit in, we should allow people or communities to invite us in. Waiting for invitations is not a passive process, so do ensure you are seen, but allow the invitations to come in without initiating.

Beware that Gate 40 is a gate of Aloneness, so you may feel like wanting to be alone or withdrawing your affection if you are too much “in demand.” The shadow of Gate 40 is exhaustion, fatigue, and a feeling of lack of inner purpose.

However, since an emotional wave is involved, if the “bargain is fair,” allow yourself to be pampered, loved up, fed, and cared for. This could feel very nourishing during this transit.

Business and marketing implications

With the emphasis on relationships, bargaining, and distribution, it’s an ideal time to review the partnerships and agreements in our professional lives. Are we giving more than we’re receiving? Do our collaborations feel truly nourishing and mutually beneficial?

The Channel of Community also speaks to our online presence and visibility. Instead of chasing after new connections, we’re better served by focusing on consistently sharing our unique gifts and perspectives. This allows the right people to organically find and engage with us.

Additionally, this transit highlights the importance of emotional intelligence in our marketing. How can we craft content and offers that truly speak to the hearts of our ideal clients? What stories and messages will help them feel seen, heard, and valued?

By aligning with the energies of Gate 37 and the Channel of Community, we can create more sustainable, fulfilling business relationships and marketing strategies. It’s about finding the right balance, honoring our needs, and allowing the right people to find their way to us.
