Working with Gate 52
Finding the mountain within
Hi there!
The sun is in 52 for two more days, and this is me all week:🧘🏻♀️⛰️🌈
52 is mountain energy — becoming the mountain. The buddha. Dropping into deep stillness and presence, which creates the conditions necessary to be able to focus energy toward something.
My personality sun is the hanging 9 on the other side of 52, so I’m always searching for the stillness that 52 offers. Where is your conscious sun gate? Is it hanging or part of a channel? When working with a client, this is always the first gate I look at.
To me, 52 feels like settling in. Nervous system regulation. The letdown that happens when you’re safe. Mountain energy is big enough to absorb the winds of life. And so is the present moment, the stillness that 52 offers.
When we can drop beneath the story, the emotion, the thought, the belief, and surrender to this moment, the present moment (mountain) becomes big enough to hold the thought as just one thought, the wave of grief as just one wave in the ocean, the belief as one tree on the side of the mountain of life.
To work with 52 energy
Sit in Buddha position if that works for your body
Visualize yourself as a mountain
Look at pictures of mountains
Think about the characteristics of mountains
Return to any beloved practice of yours that cultivates presence or connects you to your physical body (52 is in the root center)
How 52 might show up in real life
If 9 isn’t defined in your chart, this transit could create pressure to find something to pour your energy into. The same applies when you’re working with a client who has hanging 52.
Consider doing nothing rather than everything. Stillness might be a better choice than nervously starting a dozen things in an attempt to relieve the discomfort of not knowing what to focus on. Only you can know. Can you hold the pressure of not knowing where to pour your energy?
With hanging 52 (without the 9), you can get stuck in inaction. You might need to choose something, anything, to get the train moving again.
If this is the case, choose low commitment, low lift — think:
writing one email to your list
going for an overnight staycation to gain a different perspective
opening enrollment for an archived offer/program/service in your business
Look to your undefined centers to see where you might be getting hooked into this stuck place. Pretending to be certain? Avoiding confrontation and truth?
Gate 52 will be active until 10am EST Saturday, 7/1.
