Gate 5 - The Gate of Fixed Patterns

We have stepped into December, and today the sun moves into gate 5, the gate of fixed patterns.

Gate 5 is in our sacral center and is associated with a desire for consistency and routines in life. If you already have this gate defined in your chart, you might be aware that you prefer to have fixed patterns in your life, for example, in digestion and sleep. 

Having healthy habits benefits this gate. Take a look at which habits give you energy, and what habits take your energy. 

When the patterns for your basic needs, like sleep and eating, are in place in your life, you will, on the gift side, find meaning in all that is happening and lean into trust. 

On the shadow side of this gate, you might try to push your way instead of flowing. You might also be pessimistic.

Focus on the routines in your life that make you feel grounded and connected to yourself. Also, accept that people around you might have other needs for their routines, and that is okay, too.
