Gate 42: Growth — Increase
Gate 42 is located in the Sacral Center and corresponds to hexagram 42 of the I Ching — "Increase". This is the gate of completing cycles, which provides the energy to finish what has been started.
A person with Gate 42 understands the nature of cycles: every growth has a beginning, middle, and end. Their role is not to start but to complete what has been begun.
Channel 42-53: The Channel of Maturation
Gate 42 connects with Gate 53 (in the Root Center), forming Channel 42-53 — The Channel of Maturation. This is an individual channel that gives a person the experience of moving through complete cycles.
Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi
- Shadow: Incompleteness, getting stuck in the middle
- Gift: Detachment, wisdom of completion
- Siddhi: Celebration
Practical advice
If you have Gate 42, follow your Strategy and Authority when entering new cycles. Before you start — make sure you are ready to finish. Your gift manifests when you complete what others have left unfinished.
