Holding Together
The Gate of Contribution
Keynote
The basic worth realized in contributing individual efforts to group goals.
Collective Perspective
The need to contribute something unique to the collective, thereby attracting attention and leading to the creation of an identity based on one’s contribution. This can manifest in various different creative ways, from promoting others who carry creative potential, (like people who are connected through Gate 1) demonstrating a truly individual lifestyle, or being involved in artistic projects.
Drawn to what is new and innovative, one calls attention to and promotes that which carries new and mutative potential, thereby changing the direction of the collective.
Personal Perspective
With Gate 8 defined in your chart, you carry the need to contribute something unique to the collective. This can manifest in various different creative ways, from demonstrating a truly individual lifestyle to being involved in any kind of artistic project. You need to attract the attention of others to make a contribution in your unique way, which will ultimately create an identity for you. This can also happen through empowering the creative potential of others, people who connect to you through Gate 1 at the other end.
You are attracted to unique and innovative ways of expression and can be a major force in helping these energies to manifest, such as working in the field of creative arts where you can contribute by promoting others who carry creative potential. You are drawn to what is new and innovative and contribute through calling the attention of others to what you see carries potential mutation, something that can change the direction of the collective. This is your way of quietly impacting the world around you. Unless you carry Gate 1 in your chart (creative expression), your role is to recognize the creative potential of the other and promote the new and mutative potential.
