The sun has now moved into Gate 2, KEEPER OF THE KEYS, RECEPTIVITY, or ALLOWING. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called THE RECEPTIVE.
You can see where this is going. This is the energy for receiving resources. It is not necessarily the energy for creating resources. Of course there is a high expression of RECEIVING SUPPORT and a low expression. Meaning one can hold on to what they get or spend it recklessly. But in general, someone who has this energy defined at the time of their birth will RECEIVE the SUPPORT they need. How they manage that SUPPORT is another thing altogether. The high expression of this is managing resources RECEIVED to make a substantive contribution in this world.
I'm a bit tempted to say something off the cuff and lighthearted about sugar babies. But I hesitate to infantilize anyone with this energy. Because a person with this energy defined in their chart has the potential to utilize their propensity for receiving support in a powerfully positive way. Or not.
Do you readily accept SUPPORT? Is that bad? Do you trust in your own ability to gather resources? If not, why? How can you better appreciate the weight of this SUPPORT in your life, the blessing really, and feel more gratitude?
When it comes down to it, isn't this energy for being RECEPTIVE to SUPPORT also a glorious example of self worth? Wouldn't we all love to have the energy to accept help in a gracious way because deep down we know we deserve it?
Do you have trouble RECEIVING SUPPORT? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Why? Is it that you don't believe you deserve it? Do you think there is something wrong with RECEIVING SUPPORT? Why? How can you allow yourself to trust the offer of SUPPORT in your life?
Here is the thing; when you accept SUPPORT a closer bond is formed. It makes both parties feel closer to one another. The people who love you want to contribute and help in any way they can. They want to feel important to your life. It is a humbling and empowering experience all at once to let go and RECEIVE SUPPORT.
We all have our own path. Some of us are meant to RECEIVE SUPPORT in this lifetime. This is right and true. If you are THE KEEPER OF THE KEYS, be grateful.
Make the most of this opportunity to be a force for good.
