The Sun has now moved into Gate 22, OPENNESS. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called GRACE. 

This is an emotional, creative, sometimes dramatic energy that under the right circumstances embodies charm and GRACE. Depending on their mood, people with this energy defined can be the most charming and GRACEFUL person at a party or they can be the most DISGRACEFUL.

At its essence however, the purpose of this energy is to express the beauty from within and inspire others with its OPENNESS. This is the highest expression.

When I think of this energy, I think of Holly Golightly from Breakfast At Tiffany's. She is the most charming, enchanting, GRACEFUL, whirlwind of a character until she is not. But what a wonderful ride.

If you need to charm the pants off of someone, say you are trying to raise funds for a worthy cause for example, go find yourself someone with Gate 22 prominently located on their chart to do it for you. OR, if you happen to have this energy defined yourself you lucky duck, go ahead and charm away. Just please make sure you are in the mood.

Timing is everything and just like all Individual, Emotional energy there is a high point to this OPENNESS and GRACE, and a low point after all. Pay attention to your mood and politely decline that fabulous invitation if you don't feel up to being the life of the party. These things cannot be forced.

Are you the life of the party? Do you know how to turn on the charm? Does it depend on your mood? Do you have someone in your life who is amazing one day and simply not the next? Does that bother you? Are you hard on yourself when you cannot rise to the occasion? Is it possible to respect the wave? Why not? Are you OPEN to sharing who you are with others? How does this spark your creativity? Do you feel like a failure when the creativity is simply not there? Do you not love when the wave of creativity strikes? How can you tap into your creativity on a more regular basis? Is that something you even want or need? Is that OK?

Have fun with the energy for GRACE and OPENNESS during this time but also think about how patient you are in general with yourself or others who are emotionally defined. If they are not in the mood, don't judge them, accept them. You really cannot expect them to bounce back and fake it. It is simply not correct or even possible. 

But when they are in the mood, prepare to enjoy the experience of getting your pants charmed off.
