Gate 1

SELF EXPRESSION - The Sun in Gate 1 - #HUMANDESIGN #ASTROLOGY #TRANSITS #ICHING

The Sun has now moved to Gate 1, SELF-EXPRESSION. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called THE CREATIVE.

The need for SELF-EXPRESSION is no joke. The people I know who have this energy defined are truly at a loss when they are not EXPRESSING themselves. When I say at a loss, I mean they feel heavy, burdened, and sad. For many, this need for SELF-EXPRESSION can specifically mean a CREATIVE CONTRIBUTION. Not surprising really since the other half of this channel is just that, the energy for making a CONTRIBUTION to this world.

But seriously, if you have the Gate of SELF-EXPRESSION defined, especially by the Sun you must strive to always have a satisfying outlet for CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION. If this element is missing from your life it can weigh heavily on your soul.

To be clear, this doesn’t have to be your J-O-B. It certainly doesn’t need to be your identity. According to science, hobbies make you happy, especially if they provide that oh so necessary creative outlet.

How important is SELF-EXPRESSION to you? Do you see how important it is to the people around you? Do you regularly EXPRESS yourself in CREATIVE ways? Why not? When was the last time you EXPRESSED your soul to the world? Does that question tug at your heart or turn you off entirely? Do your children have a creative outlet? If so, do you see how it benefits them? Why wouldn’t it benefit you if you had something similar in your life? When was the last time you drew a picture, invented a strikingly beautiful and delicious recipe, danced, told a story, decorated your house, or wrote a song?

How do you EXPRESS yourself?

From Tuesday, November 6 through November 10, 2018, the Sun will have moved into Gate 1, SELF-EXPRESSION. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called THE CREATIVE.

The need for SELF-EXPRESSION is no joke. The people I know who have this energy defined are truly at a loss when they are not EXPRESSING themselves. When I say at a loss, I mean they feel heavy, burdened, and sad. For many, this need for SELF-EXPRESSION can specifically mean a CREATIVE CONTRIBUTION. Not surprising really since the other half of this channel is just that, the energy for making a CONTRIBUTION to this world.

But seriously, if you have the Gate of SELF-EXPRESSION defined, especially by the Sun (oh hey, happy birthday), you must strive to always have a satisfying outlet for CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION. If this element is missing from your life it can create a heavy weight on your soul.

To be clear, this doesn’t have to be your J-O-B or your identity. According to science, hobbies make you happy, especially if they provide that oh so necessary creative outlet.

So whether Gate 1 is defined in your chart or not, I invite you to think about CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION this week. Just how important is SELF-EXPRESSION to you? Do you see how important it is to the people around you? Do you regularly EXPRESS yourself in CREATIVE ways? Why not? When was the last time you EXPRESSED your soul to the world? Does that question tug at your heart or turn you off entirely? Do your children have a creative outlet? If so, do you see how it benefits them? Why wouldn’t it benefit you if you had something similar in your life? When was the last time you drew a picture, invented a strikingly beautiful and delicious recipe, danced, told a story, decorated your house, or wrote a song?

How do you EXPRESS yourself?

Transiting, November 5 through 10, 2017

The Sun has now moved into Gate 1, SELF-EXPRESSION. This is a really potent energy that needs to express itself creatively. The people I know with this energy become very dissatisfied with every thing in their life if they are not expressing themselves creatively. It can be very anxiety producing to the point where it will keep them up at night wondering what special, creative thing they should be doing.

So you may find yourself wondering if what you're doing with your life is enough. But any endeavor can be approached in a creative way, no?

Use this energy over the next 6 days in a productive way. Get crafty for the holidays. Decorate your house for fall/Thanksgiving. Go to one of those events where you drink wine and paint on canvas. If any opportunity to get creative crosses your path, go for it. It will feel especially satisfying this week.
