The Sun is now in Gate 44, PRESENTATION. In I-Ching this is called COMING TO MEET and in this sense it is the energy for making things nice and greeting a visitor. It is also the energy to bring lessons from the past to the present. It is the Gate for an intuitive sense of smell as well. Meaning a smell might trigger a sense of danger for example. Think of the phrase "I smell a rat." This is also a Gate off the Spleen which means we are dealing with a fear of the past. So there might be an inclination for ignoring the past or making it seem nicer or more pleasant than it actually was. OR it can mean being stuck in the past and unable to let it go.

So the theme during this time is PRESENTATION. It would actually be a good time for inviting people over and hosting. I have this Gate defined and I do love to make it nice and be the host with the most. I'm also a sucker for an idealized version of the past. My house certainly reflects that.

Anyway, Make it nice!
