Gate 60 · Limits & innovation
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 60 · Limits & innovation and where it sits in the bodygraph.
Gate 60 lives in the Root centre and, together with gate 3, forms the channel of mutation: the pressure of change passes through limitation and turns into something new. The tradition describes the theme through the image of a pulse: energy here moves in beats rather than a steady stream, limitation sets the rhythm, and inside that rhythm the leaps of the new occur. In the personality this shows as a conscious relationship with frames: they irritate until they become support; in the design it is a deep alternation of standstill and surge that runs on its own. The system turns the usual verdict around: a frame is the shape of novelty rather than its enemy, and an accepted limitation frees the strength that went into fighting it. Which limitation in your life could stop being contested, so you can see what it makes possible?
