Charles II King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, defined by the Sun in Gate 45.

The Sun has now moved into Gate 45, THE KING OR QUEEN, TRIBAL LEADER, or DISTRIBUTION. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called GATHERING TOGETHER.

This is the natural leader but it is not necessarily the democratic leader, that is elsewhere in the chart. So this is the energy of someone who is in charge and not selected or appointed to that role, they just are. When you think of the archetype of the CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, think of Gate 45. This is the tribal energy for leadership. There is a bit of entitlement to this energy no doubt and it can go the way of dictatorship if its not careful but the highest expression is the benevolent energy for taking care of its people.

Two KINGS, one Czar, and one Emperor have Gate 45 defined by the Sun at the time of their birth. One Pope and one Cult Leader also have this definition. President George HW Bush has this definition as well. David Rockefeller also had Gate 45 defined by the sun in his chart. No less than 12 QUEENS, Princes, Princesses, Dukes, and Duchesses had this particular definition.

Our current President in the United States has Gate 45.5 defined by the North Node. Which means this energy is prominent and projected on to him in the later half of his life. You don't say.

How does the theme of the KING/QUEEN/CEO play out in your life? Are you a natural leader? If not, is that a bad thing? In what way do you support the leaders in your life? How have the leaders in your life treated you? Do you express what you need to your leaders? Do you hold them to a standard and let them know when you don't agree with them?

If you are a natural leader, how can you be more thoughtful in how you deal with your subjects? That last bit was a joke but really, do you take your leadership position for granted? Do you have a tendency to spend too much money because you feel entitled to it? How can you be more aware of the needs of those around you? How can you also make sure you have the support you need to thoughtfully lead in a manner that is beneficial to all?

Let us hope our current leaders are asking themselves just that. If they are not, let us hold them to a higher standard.
