Gate 35 - The Gate of Change

This morning, I sent out a newsletter sharing my resistance to change and 5 small steps to accept change to my lovely community. And I laughed when I realized that today is the exact day this year that the sun moves into gate 35, the Gate of Change.

There aren’t any coincidences, are there?

2025 is said to be a year of change, and as we are close to halfway through the year, I think most of us agree that change is happening every day and is rapidly increasing globally. If you buckled up at the beginning of the year, good for you. And if you did not buckle up and are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and frustrated over all the changes that are happening, take a breath, take a beat, and in the end, take a bow when you are out on the other side of it all.

The Gate of Change is here to help us learn through experiences.

Its voice is “I feel…” When change happens, ask yourself: How does this make me feel?

There is a possibility that there is a silver lining to it all. Look for ways to grow through change.

A few of us love to change, and we can end up changing just for the sake of it. But be honest with yourself: Is that a good use of your energy?

If you are on the shadow side of this gate, you might find yourself constantly doing stuff. You fear that life will be boring, so you end up slightly depressed instead when your surroundings do not need so much change all the time as you do.

A friendly reminder: We cannot change others. We can only change ourselves. And from that, we can inspire others to change themselves from within.
