Gate 34 - The Power of the Great

Gate of Power - Pure Unconditional Power

Power is only great when its display or use serves the common good. The moment that power is identified with awareness, it is turned into deeds.

This Gate is part of the Channel of Power, A Design of an Archetype, linking the Sacral Center (Gate 34) to the Splenic Center (Gate 57). Gate 34 is part of the Integration Channel with the keynote of self-empowerment. This Gate is part of the Channel of Charisma, A Design Where Thoughts Must Be Deeds, linking the Sacral Center (Gate 34) to the Throat Center (Gate 20). Gate 34 is part of the Integration Channel with the keynote of self-empowerment. This Gate is part of the Channel of Exploration, A Design of Following One's Convictions, linking the Sacral Center (Gate 34) to the G Center (Gate 10). Gate 34 is part of the Individual (Centering) Circuit with the keynote of empowerment.

Gate 34 is a potent and impressive source of energy that empowers us toward individuation, displaying and celebrating our uniqueness in the world. Two qualities distinguish this gate from the other eight in the Sacral: its asexuality and the unavailability of its power to others. If connected to Gate 10 in the G Center, our energy will be focused on social behaviors or roles that support our strong convictions. If connected to Gate 20 in the Throat, our power will be resolved to act on our own behalf, to turn our thoughts into deeds, and to express our ability to manifest and thrive. If connected to Gate 57 in the Spleen, our intuition will empower our ability to hear what we need to survive perfectly in each moment. Without the Spleen's direct intuitive guidance, this relentless power to act may become an unhealthy, meddlesome and misdirected energy, and we may feel lost in our own momentum, expending energy that serves no one.

Though admired, and even sought after, our energy is simply not available to others. It must remain pure in its power, and always accessible to us as we seek to be independent and unique, to act on our convictions, and to triumph, which means to survive as ourselves.


Line 1 - The bully
The indiscriminate use of power.

Exaltation: The less negative, the resort to power as a manifestation of frustration. The energy to display power as a response to frustration.

Detriment: The comeuppance that is the inevitable destiny of the bully. The ever present risk of retaliation to power displays.


The Daily View reflects the impact the Sun (70% of the neutrino influence) is having on humanity as it moves through the Gates and Lines of the Mandala. Transits are potentials that you can witness in others and the world around you, and, if correct for you, as you follow your individual Strategy and Authority, may become a part of your experience as well.
