Biting Through

A strong force on the material plane and a need to be responsible and in control of one’s own resources, territory, and fundamentals like where to live, what to wear, and how to make a living. One resents being told what to do and will ‘bite through' conditioning forces to maintain independence and control. Ultimately, one’s purpose lies in serving the needs of others as much as one’s own, therefore, when operating correctly, what benefits oneself also benefits others. Essential to follow one’s Inner Authority and resist the impulse to control others, which only leads to encountering resistance.

You need to be in control of your own affairs and your territory, and to be given the responsibilities within your domain. This gate represents a strong force on the material plane and you need to ensure that you are in charge of your own resources and fundamental aspects of life, such as where you live, what you wear, how you make a living, etc. You deeply resent being told what to do and would rather 'bite through' the conditioning forces of the material plane to exercise a measure of independence and control. It is essential, though, that you follow your strategy and authority so as not to encounter others’ resistance if you try to assume power or control over those around you, which you may feel compelled to do. Ultimately, your purpose lies in serving the needs of others as much your own, and what benefits you will also benefit them.
