The gift of this gate
Correcting so that things work better.
The shadow
Constant criticism of yourself and others.
Recognizing the shadow isn't a judgment: it's a sign that this energy is operating from conditioning rather than from your nature.
Conscious or unconscious
If Gate 18 appears in black on your chart (Personality), it is a trait you know about yourself. If it appears in red (Design), it is something others see in you before you do, more tied to the body and to what you inherited.
The channel it forms
Gate 18 belongs to the Spleen Center and connects with Gate 58. If you have both, the channel forms and both centers become defined. If not, it is a hanging gate: you will feel drawn to people who carry the complementary gate.
