People with a talent for innovative leadership and an innate understanding of the right path or direction. Summary of the Gates in  Rave Chart Structure: Center: G Circuit: Knowing The Channel of the Beat (2-14) Quarter (II): Civilization Deity: Maya Physiology: Sternum Additional notes: no The holders of this Gate are characterized by receptivity as the basis through which any response is determined. They can become exhausted and very frustrated if they try to do all the work themselves. It is much more effective for them to use their natural gift of leadership and simply direct the creative process. Their secret is to find the right allies in life and use their talents. If you imagine the 2nd Gate as a seed, then the 14th is the light and water that help it ascend. The resources and commitment of the 14th Gate help realize the giftedness of the 2nd.

I Ching: Possession in Great Measure

Prosperity, competence

This energy nourishes the direction of life. Fertile, sacral force in its highest manifestation. People whose creative potential lies in love for their work. Brief characteristics of the Gates in the Rave Chart structure: Located in the Sacral Center Part of the Individual Knowing Circuit Part of the Channel of Being (2-14) Situated in the Quarter of Mutation (IV) Deity - Hades Physiology - Small intestine Additional notes: none Holders of these Gates have the potential to master all necessary skills and the obligation to bring new projects and creative endeavors into the world. They are here to work, but they must find an occupation that brings them satisfaction. These are also Gates of prosperity, for they contain the power to create wealth through continuous creativity. The 14th Gates need the 2nd to set a viable direction. The 14th alone is pure potential for the continuation of work, but without the 2nd they turn into Gates of slavery, where people can get stuck in endless activity without a sense of their movement's direction. Lines - six stages of development of this energy and possible extremes in its manifestation: Line 1 Money is not everything. The realization that "the rich also weep." Jupiter in exaltation. The thirst for gain is softened by high principles. The key to energy manifestation - high principles. Mercury in fall. The delusion that money solves all problems. Energy alone can never be the key. Line 2 Management. Wisdom that investment in knowledge and experience is rewarded. Jupiter in exaltation. Ability to delegate responsibility. The key to power lies in not trying to be the only one and do everything alone. Mars in fall. The temptation to be one's own best and only advisor. The key to power lies in doing everything oneself. Line 3 Service. Using talent and wealth for the greater good. Earth in exaltation. Selfless contribution to society. The key to power lies through sacrificial assistance to others. Neptune in fall. Greed and moral self-destruction. The power of egoism feeding greed. Line 4 Security. Focus on establishing a solid foundation. Moon in exaltation. The key to power lies in developing skills that build a strong base. Mars in fall. Self-confidence in confrontations with challenges that can threaten the very foundation of security. Inability to guarantee security without the necessary skills. Line 5 Arrogance. Risk inherent in a position of power is always present. Sun in exaltation. Innate dignity as the key to power. Venus in fall. Dissatisfaction with others' gifts, causing a sense of superiority. Innate realization that without energy and power there exists only the illusion of superiority. Line 6 Humility. Health and strength in their highest manifestation. Sun in exaltation. Enlightened recognition that material success is divine will. Spirituality as the key to acceptance and source of power. Earth in fall. All manifestations of this position are essentially positive. Earth represents the existential recognition that material success is inevitable, and humility born of this intuitive foresight. Existentialism as the key to acceptance and source of power. 2-14 Channel of Being Design of the "Keeper of the Keys" to all doors Since you have the ability and power to always follow your direction in life, you point the way for others, directly or indirectly.
