STRUGGLE - The Sun in Gate 28 #HUMANDESIGN #ASTROLOGY #TRANSITS #ICHING

The sun has now moved to Gate 28, STRUGGLE or TENACITY. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called PREPONDERANCE OF THE GREAT.

Life can seem like a STRUGGLE for the person who has Gate 28 defined. They can really feel put upon by the universe. But people with this energy are sometimes not aware they actually thrive on the STRUGGLE. Things don’t seem worth it unless they are difficult. Otherwise, what is the point?

A task will seem meaningless to someone with STRUGGLE defined in their chart if it is too easy and that really is the point. This energy is about the search for meaning. Because there is a very potent fear here that life has no meaning. Difficulty and STRUGGLE make life important and worth living.

These are the people who choose extremely difficult, complicated work. Is that not a blessing to society?

Of course if this energy for STRUGGLE is not directed in a productive way it can unfortunately be directed at their interpersonal relationships. Personal drama can be an outlet for this energy. That said, a person who is willing and able to work through difficulty in a relationship is a wonderful partner indeed.

How does STRUGGLE play a part in your life? Does everything seem hard to you? Do you experience this as bad luck? Why? Are you someone who seeks to work smart and simplify things in your life? Would it kill you to do something the hard way for once? If it is hard does that make it right? Do you resent how other people seem to sail through life when every day for you feels like a STRUGGLE? Is the STRUGGLE indeed a bad thing? Or does the STRUGGLE make your life meaningful? What would happen if you took the easy way out for once? Would it make you feel empty?

The people who seek out what is difficult, who aren’t afraid of STRUGGLE make all of our lives worth living.

STRUGGLE - The Sun in Gate 28 #HUMANDESIGN #ASTROLOGY #TRANSITS #ICHING

From Thursday, October 25 through Tuesday, October 30, 2018 the Sun will be in Gate 28, STRUGGLE or TENACITY. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called PREPONDERANCE OF THE GREAT.

Life can really seem like a STRUGGLE for the person who has Gate 28 defined. But what people with this energy are sometimes not aware they actually thrive on the STRUGGLE. Things don’t seem worth it unless they are difficult.

I heard Chetan Parkyn once say that in his observation, and I’m paraphrasing, the person with the Gate of STRUGGLE will walk right past an open, welcoming front door to climb over a gate and through a back window to get into a house.

A task will seem meaningless to someone with STRUGGLE defined in their chart if it is too easy and that really is the point. This energy is about the search for meaning. Because there is a very potent fear here that life has no meaning. If everything is easy, what’s the point? These are the people who choose extremely difficult, complicated work. Is that not a blessing to society?

How does STRUGGLE play a part in your life? Does everything seem hard to you? Or are you someone who seeks to work smart and simplify things in your life.

Three cheers for the people who seek out the STRUGGLE in this world. Seriously, what would we do without them?

Transiting, October 25 through 30, 2017

The Sun moves into the Gate 28, STRUGGLE. Some prefer to call this gate TENACITY or ADVENTURE. Either way, it's not easy. When you're playing a video game, you have to STRUGGLE to get to the next level. Gamers enjoy this aspect of the game. Someone I know with this Gate defined in their chart once told me they only value something if it is difficult to get. Such is the nature of this energy. It doesn't have to be considered a bad thing to STRUGGLE. It's certainly not boring.   

So STRUGGLE is the theme for this time period. Things are not going to be easy. This too shall pass (in 6 days) so I suggest embracing the STRUGGLE. If you do not have this Gate defined in your chart, allow yourself to experience the extra satisfaction derived from succeeding despite the STRUGGLE.

Choose your own ADVENTURE.
