If you'd like to join us there, I am so excited to see what you create. So today we're talking about gate 12 and I call this gate the poetic discernment. And in human design, this gate is called the gate of caution or the gate of the channel. It's located in the throat center, moving towards the solar plexus. Connected to gate 22 in the channel of openness, which is the design of the social being. And the gene keys, this is called a pure heart. And in the I Ching, it's called standstill heaven and earth diverge. And this is in the tropical sign of Gemini. And the first day it is in the Vedic sign of Taurus, but moves into Vedic Gemini for the next five days. The last five days, I should say. Specifically in that Maria Shara. Mrigashira Nakshatra. So the overall energy of gate 12 is all about self-expression authenticity and the balance between individuality and collectivity. And it encompasses both the inward journey. Of discovering your true nature and the outward journey of expressing that authentic self to the world. So at its core, it represents a dialectic struggle between the need to honor and express one's individuality and the desire to be accepted by the collective. This can manifest as a swing between moments of profound individual expression and times of silence or withdrawal. So let's talk about the shadow of gate 12, which is vanity. And this manifest as a self centered focus where one's love for self. It becomes excessive and creates a sense of separation or superiority. Nature, or if you're more in an introverted state, this can show up as being an elitist where you consider yourself the refined. Version where your vanity is working undercover. And you inwardly feel that you were clearer than those around you. And the reactive or if you're more of an extroverted person, this can show up as malicious. And this stems from anger, which stems from fear and you openly use your vocal gifts to inflict pain on others. So in your shadow, it involves an excessive focus on yourself, believing in your own superiority or purity compared to others. And the self-centeredness can lead to a sense of separateness and an inflated ego, which hinders genuine connections with others. And you may set impossibly high standards for yourself and others, especially in the realm of art and creative expression. And this perfectionism can create constant dissatisfaction and frustration as nothing seems to meet the idealized vision that you had. You have a fear of imperfection or failure, and that can actually paralyze you. Causing hesitation and inhibition and expressing your emotions and ideas through art. And this fear may prevent you from sharing your creativity with the world until everything feels flawless. Because of this fear of not living up to your own standards or others' expectations that it may lead you to withholding your creativity and emotions from others, you might avoid expressing yourself authentically. Fearing the criticism or rejection. And. And the refined palette of this gate. Um, in the shadow. It may lead to a tendency to dismiss or criticize others, art or creative expressions. If they don't meet your high standards. And this can create a sense of superiority and arrogance. So in your shadow, you can be overwhelmed by your emotions. And have a fear of rejection. Where you're not. Able to express your emotions creatively. And that can be overwhelming at times, leading to emotional outbursts or being dominated by turbulent feelings. But that brings us to the gift of gate 12, which is Dom.. And that can be seen as a refined sense of discernment that extends to perceiving the highest potential and expressing it through various forms of art communication. Or self-expression, it's a very Gemini gate, right. Gemini both In Vedic and in site. Astrology. So in the gift, you are very poetic. You have a very poetic expression. And you have the innate ability to express your emotions through poetry and art. Your creative flair allows you to convey your feelings in a neat. In a unique and captivating manner, touching the heart of others. You have a very discerning sense of taste and appreciation for beauty, which drives you to create art.

And through your poetry and art, you gain emotional clarity and understanding. Through channeling your emotions into creative outlets that helps you process and navigate complex feelings leading to personal growth and self awareness. So you recognize the importance of restraint and meditation and making decisions and confronting temptations by standing still. And waiting for the right mood. You allow your ideas and expressions to mature. Leading to impactful and meaningful communication. And I think that has a lot to do with the fact that it's connected to the. Emotional solar plexus, even though it's coming out from the throat, it wants to. You know, touch that emotional, uh, part of us, right. And express the emotional part of us. So waiting for the right mood to do that is very important. And. You're expressive voice has the potential to bring about positive change and transformation in others. Your insights and creativity can shift people's perceptions and hold them. Up to Newport. To new possibilities. So through your art, through your creative expression and your communication, you're able to, um, shift perspectives through that emotional connection that you create when you speak. And when you create the art that you create. And. You hold idealistic, visions of beauty, art and grace. This optimistic outlook fuels your creative endeavors and inspires you to strive for a fair more compassionate world. You really have this discriminary. This discriminatory taste of art. What's. Valuable, what is a good artful expression and what is not. Authenticity in yourself and in others. You have an intuitive sense of what is true and genuine, and you can spot when someone's expressions aligns with their authentic self. And that actually brings us to the Siddhi or highest frequency of gate 12. And that happens to be purity. Which represents a state of pristine clarity. And allows individuals to perceive the inherent beauty and perfection within themselves and the world around them. So in this higher state, you are connected to source your art and poetry serve as a direct connection. Of the source of inspiration when you're aligned and in the right mood, your expressions become a channel for divine insights that can deeply touch and move others. Your creative language and art stems from a place of purity and love. When you tap into your heart's essence, your, your expressions become powerful and resonate with others at a profound level. And you have a capacity to transmit emotions through art, which makes you a great educator and inspire her. And you can effectively teach and motivate others, helping them connect with their emotions and creative potential. And one of my favorite clients actually has this gate as her conscious son.

And expression as a vehicle for transformation, your creativity has the power to break down barriers. Challenge norms and inspire people to evolve to higher states of consciousness. Of vanity.
