Channels 32-54: Channel of Transformation

Preservation, endurance

The energy to adapt to social change and adapt to ongoing life changes. People with an innate instinct to determine the true value of something or someone. Summary of the Gates in  Rave Chart Structure: Center: Spleen Circuit: Ego The Channel of Transformation (32-54) Quarter (III): Duality Deity: Minerva Physiology: Spleen Additional notes: no The archetype of this Gate is the financial manager of the 54's entrepreneurial energy. The fear of failure makes Gate 32 people very conservative and shows them that restraint ensures the permanence and long-term success of not only the individual, but the entire community or business. The 32nd Gate knows what may or may not be successfully transformed and functions as a brake on the 54's assertiveness. The 32 needs the 54's igniting spark, without which they are waiting for the moment when they have aspiration and ambition. Lines — six stages of development of this energy and possible extremes in its manifestation: Line 1 Conservation. Sun exalted. A life sustaining respect and attention to all aspects of a process. The potential to develop the instinct through detailed attention to a process. Mars exalted. The uncontrollable urge to bypass essentials which inevitably leads to the disruption of continuity. The fear of lack of potential, and the corresponding lack of attention. Line 2 Restraint. Venus exalted. The control of power for the benefit and enhancement of harmony. The potential for transformation that may be beneficial to others. Jupiter in detriment. A tendency in frustration, particularly from a position of strength, to social withdrawal rather than persistent control. The frustration with controls or being con- trolled. Line 3 Lack on continuity. Mercury exalted. Indecision and persistent reevaluation, that only because of its basic intelligence manages to endure. Indecision in times of transformation. Jupiter in detriment. An overreliance on traditionally legitimized standards that in times of change can be totally out of step and suffer unexpected humiliation. A lack of instinct in times of transformation. Line 4 Right is might Jupiter exalted. Even in times of change certain underlying principles endure. The instinct to maintain one's principles in times of change. Saturn in detriment. Where Jupiter will establish right action in the larger social realm, Saturn's will lead to inner strength and endurance as long as it is not threatened from the outside. The instinct to maintain one's principles as long as one's security is not threatened. Line 5 Flexibility. Easy adaption to circumstances. The Moon exalted. The Moon exalted, where superficiality is a valuable tool that while masking the inner light permits adaption to prevailing conditions. An instinct for adaption in times of change. Mars in detriment. The urge to express oneself in direct and often violent rejection of conformity. The potential of the instinct to reject adaption and conformity in times of change. Line 6 Tranquillity. The need to calmly face impermanence. Pluto exalted. An underlying acceptance of change that may or may not lead to tranquillity. The instinctive awareness to accept change and transformation. Neptune in detriment. Impermanence as proof of meaninglessness with its attendant manifestations, depression, delusion, and in the extreme, self-destruction.

Aspiration, drive

The energy of ambition and the desire to do things in a great or grandiose way. People with limitless drive to achieve material success. Summary of the Gates in  Rave Chart Structure: Center: Root Circuit: Ego The Channel of Transformation (32-54) Quarter (IV): Mutation Deity: Vishnu Physiology: Coccyx Additional notes: no This Gate is responsible for the desire to climb higher in the social ladder and achieve a higher status. They also represent materialistic ambition and the desire to "make money". These people are the driving force of society, and in particular, the business community. The archetype of this Gate is the concubine who rises up the hierarchy to eventually become an empress. These people are always trying in some way to attract the attention of a superior (on a physical or mystical level). Without the 32nd Gate, the 54th is a blind desire to achieve a certain goal. The conservatism and instinct of the 32 helps channel their ambitious aspirations into something solid and worthwhile. Lines — six stages of development of this energy and possible extremes in its manifestation: Line 1 Influence. Pluto exalted. The ability to achieve influence through secret relationships, anywhere from the private adviser to the Satanist. Ambition energized through secret relationships which fuel influence. Venus in detriment. A socially misguided insistence on formal recognition of a relationship, that in terms of influence, will diminish its power. Ambition which demands formal recognition limiting influence. Line 2 Discretion. Saturn exalted. The wisdom once a relationship is formally recognized to restrain the temptation to take advantage of past informal interactions. The energy of restraint fuels ambition. Mars in detriment. Recognition, in the formal sense, seen as a licence to take advantage of informal knowledge. A lack of loyalty. Ambition energy which can fuel disloyalty. Line 3 Covert interaction. Pluto exalted. The ability when stymied in formal relationships to use secret or purely informal channels, when it is the only resort. The drive when blocked to use secret means to fuel ambition. Venus in detriment. The insistence that formal channels, no matter how frustrating, can be overcome by the power of attraction. The energy of ambition when blocked will fuel the power of attraction to overcome the obstacle. Line 4 Enlightenment/endarkenment Here, in this most mystical of positions, there is neither an exaltation nor a detriment, for in truth, they are the same. No polarity. No specific planetary accent. The Alpha and Omega. The end and the beginning. There is no description possible. Each planet will manifest this energy uniquely with absolutely no guarantee that its effects will even be perceived. However, the potential is always there. The fuel for transformation at its purest level. Line 5 Magnanimity. Sun exalted. The natural authority and actualizing spirit, that in a position of power, can have genuine and fruitful relationships with the less advantaged. (As long as they are in service and make no demands.) The energy for actualizing that despite this power fuels fruitful relationships with others. No detriment. Line 6 Selectivity. Saturn exalted. The ingrained responsibility, in terms of maintaining security and personal identity that will naturally restrict its relationships to ones that are mutually beneficial. The energy to restrict relationships that hinder ambition. Jupiter in detriment. A generally benefic and expansive nature that assumes that it can instill, what is otherwise missing in its partners. A waste of energy. The waste of energy in maintaining relationships which hinder ambition. 32 — 54 The Channel of Transformation A Design of Being Driven Root Center It is the center of adrenaline pressure and a powerful Motor that motivates us to be physically active.
