Gate 54 - The Marrying Maiden

Gate of Ambition - The Drive to RIse Up

Interaction in its mundane social context but also one's mystical and cosmic relationships. Transformation is possible through the mastering of instincts.

This Gate is part of the Channel of Transformation, A Design of Being Driven, linking the Root Center (Gate 54) to the Splenic Center (Gate 32). Gate 54 is part of the Tribal (Ego) Circuit with the keynote of support.

Gate 54 provides humanity with the fuel and ambition to transform the Tribe's material direction and standing among other tribes. It supplies the energy for our most mundane ambitions, and the highest spiritual aspirations that may be hidden within them. Only when we have mastered our instincts to thrive on the mundane plane, is transformation of a spiritual nature possible. We live our spiritual ideals through the mundane plane, and ambition is the fulfillment of our personal potential. If someone notices us higher up in the hierarchy, there is a good chance that we can better our position in life. Our inner drive to 'rise up' provides the impetus for transformation for those around us as well; it levels the playing field for others to compete on equal terms. Our drive needs direction, however, so we naturally look to someone with Gate 32 to channel our ambitions toward something of lasting value. Without this direction, our drive may turn into blind ambition.


Line 3 - Covert interaction

Exaltation: The ability when stymied in formal relationships to use secret or purely informal channels, when it is the only resort. The drive when blocked to use secret means to fuel ambition.

Detriment: The insistence that formal channels, no matter how frustrating, can be overcome by the power of attraction. The energy of ambition when blocked will fuel the power of attraction to overcome the obstacle.


The Daily View reflects the impact the Sun (70% of the neutrino influence) is having on humanity as it moves through the Gates and Lines of the Mandala. Transits are potentials that you can witness in others and the world around you, and, if correct for you, as you follow your individual Strategy and Authority, may become a part of your experience as well.
