Gate 42 · Completion
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 42 · Completion and where it sits in the bodygraph.
Gate 42 lives in the Sacral centre and, together with gate 53, forms the channel of maturation: the cycle from the impulse to begin to the point where everything is finished. The tradition gives this gate the second half of the arc: the ability to stay in a process to the end and draw the most from it. In the personality the theme shows as a conscious dislike of things dropped midway; in the design it is energy that will not let go of a task until the cycle closes. The system observes that unclosed cycles quietly pull at attention, so completion here is energy hygiene rather than pedantry. A cycle can also be closed by a decision, not only by a result. Which of your long-unfinished storylines is asking for an ending, in whatever form?
