Channels 42-53: Channel of Maturation

Detachment, completion

Energy to maximize the potential for personal growth and successful social development. People who need to always finish what they start. Summary of the Gates in  Rave Chart Structure: Center: Sacral Circuit: Sensing The Channel of Maturation (42-53) Quarter (I): Initiation Deity: Janus Physiology: Sacral plexus Additional Notes: Format Gate Gate The holders of this Gate are under tremendous pressure to finish what they start and have the strength and endurance to do so. Often, new beginnings and the inevitable difficulties that accompany them make them feel uncomfortable. They may feel like they are stuck in eternal cycles, such as childhood patterns or recurring themes in relationships. To get out of the vicious circle, they should allow events or affairs to come to their natural conclusion, instead of forcing their premature end. They need the energy of the 53rd Gate to provide the initiating spark so they can apply their stamina to the process. Lines — six stages of development of this energy and possible extremes in its manifestation: Line 1 Diversification. Sun exalted. The ability when surplus resources are available to extend one's activities beyond their normal scope. Growth through expansion particularly when defined to the root. Venus in detriment. A tendency when surplus resources are available to centrifugal application. Decadence. Too much expansion can lead to decadence. Line 2 Identification. Sun exalted. Recognition and acute capitalization of trends. Power for growth through participating in trends. Venus in detriment. An ascetically motivated withdrawal in times of progressive change. Growth which stops in reaction to trends or change. Line 3 Trial and error. In times of increase, mistakes are a natural part of the process. Mars exalted. The energy and assertion to turn mistakes into advantages. The power to accept mistakes as part of growth. The Moon in detriment. A moodiness, that in error may succumb to brooding and unnecessary caution. Mistakes give power to moodiness and caution. Line 4 The middle man. The Moon exalted. The quintessential manifestation of the mediator. The maturity to bring growth through mediation. Venus in detriment. Where the gift to establish and maintain relationships is ill-suited in this position to act in mediation where harmony must take a back seat to pragmatism. A lack of maturity where the power to harmonize distorts mediation and limits growth. Line 5 Self-actualization. Sun exalted. The fulfillment and actualization of purpose as a natural path whose reward is a healthy sense of self, rather than the power and influence that naturally follow. Growth that is self-fulfilling and naturally leads to influence. Venus in detriment. Self-actualization as a strictly inner experience that may demand or result in a reclusive nature. Inner growth that empowers reclusiveness. Line 6 Nurturing. The Moon exalted. A natural and instinctive nurturing of others. The power to share the process of growth with others. Saturn in detriment.

Expansion, starting

The pressure to start any beneficial process as a way to avoid stagnation and evolve by learning new things. People under constant pressure to start any useful processes. Summary of the Gates in  Rave Chart Structure: Center: Root Circuit: Sensing The Channel of Maturation (42-53) Quarter (II): Civilization Deity: Parvati Physiology: Urogenital Diaphragm Additional Notes: Format Gate Development as a structured progression, steady, purposeful and continuous, no matter what changes the cycle brings. The holders of this Gate feel trapped, stuck and bored if they have to deal with the same thing. As long as they start new things according to their Design, they don't have to finish everything. They can safely leave a book unfinished, food half-eaten, etc. Without an active 42nd Gate, such a person may start projects and abandon them, feeling that they do not want to finish them at all or do it on their own. Lines — six stages of development of this energy and possible extremes in its manifestation: Line 1 Accumulation. Neptune exalted. The dissolution of old forms but not at the expense of valued components that will be retained and transformed. The pressure to begin something new, not from scratch but based on the foundation of the old. Venus in detriment. Development hampered by criticism and the tendency to withdraw rather than make use of these experiences. The difficulty in starting something new because of the criticism that accompanied the old. Line 2 Momentum. Success breeds success. The Moon exalted. The protection of early success nurtures further achievement. The pressure to start something new based on past success. Mars in detriment. A tendency with early success to haste and imprudent action. The pressure based on success to be impatient for something new. Line 3 Practicality. The Moon exalted. In its most natural position, the concentration on avoiding conflict to ensure protection and continued development. The pressure to eliminate conflict in order to develop. Mars in detriment. The unconscious provoking of conflict that logically threatens security and development. Energy which provokes conflict and threatens development. Line 4 Assuredness. The Moon exalted. The ability to maintain the strength of one's individuality in complex and often awk- ward situations, that ensure continued security and development. The pressure to maintain one's individuality in confused beginnings. Venus in detriment. The persistent difficulty with embarrassing or awkward situations where normal emotional reactions may prove detrimental. Individual pressure for beginnings that creates awkward and sometimes embarrassing situations. Line 5 Assertion. Neptune exalted. The underlying and often psychic recognition of the intrinsic values of development, that even in periods of isolation, has the assertiveness to maintain direction. Its very power garners continued support even from those who are basically opposed. The pressure to recognize the value of development and the energy for beginnings regardless of circumstances. The Earth in detriment. An over-assertiveness, that rather than applied to maintaining support in the face of opposition and isolation, may actually strengthen the opposing forces by its attitude. Where the energy for beginnings attracts the very forces that can abort them. Line 6 Phasing. The Moon exalted. The successful utilization of the completion of a stage in development, that by its evident success and value can be used as an example to attract support for the next stage. The energy to attract support for beginnings based on the success of the past. Pluto exalted. A tendency in this position, to hide success, in the perverse fear that the success will either create excessive demands or supporters of the original process will end their support upon completion. The pressure to hide beginnings in fear of losing past support. 42 — 53 The Channel of Maturation A Design of Balanced Development Root Center It is the center of adrenaline pressure and a powerful Motor that motivates us to be physically active.
