CHAPTER 1
Sun in Gate 1
The Personal Life Theme of DIRECTION (THE SPHINX) (4)
Sally Field Ethan Hawke Maria Shriver Marie Curie Emma Stone
Direction is your purpose in life, whether you are finding a direction for yourself or showing the way for others. Many will see you as a lighthouse that allows others to find their own bearings. At times you find yourself pointing a way that defies normal explanation, but if you are true to yourself and your creative impulses, the direction will be the right one. On our planet, the Sphinx in Egypt symbolizes an ancient, forgotten, yet ever-constant mystical guidance toward something greater than ourselves. Somewhere in your being, you remember.
Be aware that your ability to point the way for someone does not automatically imply you then have to take the lead for them, or that it is your responsibility or obligation to carry others through their lives, even if you could. If you find yourself overly obliged to others and continuously helping them find their way, you might consider reviewing how healthy those relationships really are. Pointing the direction for someone and then encouraging them to engage with their own abilities is the best approach. Ultimately, everyone is responsible for their own life journey, and forgetting this can entangle you in one distraction after another.
With your Conscious Sun in Gate 1, you express yourself creatively, whether it is through your inherent artistic ways or in how you provide more creative guidance for the world around you. There is always something fresh and creative in how you interact with life. Whether you give direction in more subtle ways or with overtly deliberate precision, those who come to you for guidance get ingenious instruction about how to proceed. Taking the path less trodden is your way, and while you prefer that everyone comprehends this about you, you are also able to explain what you are aiming toward and why. Remembering your Type and Authority always clues you in to those people and situations that merit your guidance.
Sun in Gate 1
The Fixed Life Theme of CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION (4)
Like a river flowing through you, your Life Theme compels you to stream a continuous flow of creative self-expression. You do this by monitoring an ongoing source of inventiveness that propels you to express yourself regardless of other people or surroundings. Your tendency is to continuously tell everyone what you know, often disregarding their actual needs and interests or their ability to comprehend you. This tendency can upset people because your torrent of knowledge, relevant or irrelevant to their lives, overwhelms them.
Others might ask you to be quiet, or at least to restrain your verbal comments on life, and so you turn toward other means to express yourself through art, writing, or music. All the time, you find ways to illuminate how life can be expanded and potentially improved. You have an extraordinary way of connecting to life, and you perceive many dimensions and creative possibilities that other people would miss altogether if you did not point them out somehow.
You will come to appreciate that having time alone allows you to dive deeply and without interference into the creativity that courses through you. At other times, you will deliberately seek out company to point out just exactly what you are appreciating, sometimes finding that your audience cannot grasp it in the same way that you do, and in exasperation you withdraw to your own company again. When you recognize that all expression has its perfect timing and adapt your interactions accordingly, you will see how you creatively and easily transform people's lives in ways that bring great benefit to them. When you trust in your own Type and Authority, you will come to appreciate the right timing for all your creative pursuits and expressions. You will learn how to be as effective and fulfilled in your life as you possibly can be.

The Interpersonal Life Theme of DEFIANCE (4)
Fyodor Dostoyevsky Brittany Murphy Leonardo DiCaprio Miranda Lambert Fall of the Berlin Wall
Your Life Theme is to defy the current status of affairs that confront you in life to find another, perhaps higher, or at the very least different way. You turn the tables on anything in life that you deem requires redirecting by employing any argument or principle that you can find. Rather than being constrained to seek satisfaction through your mind or your emotions, you succeed when you allow yourself to be driven by a profound inner connection with your Higher Self and what you know in your bones to be right.
You whole life journey involves breaking with the "status quo" of outdated and inept ways of living to be free to introduce and encourage authenticity in the world around you. You befriend those who honor your transcendent ways and enjoy those who are open to expanding their reality by engaging with your creative concepts and statements. At the same time, you quietly move apart from those who do not appreciate your transformative ways, however much they might want your attentions.
With your Conscious Sun in Gate 1, if anyone is going to find an alternative way of doings things, it is you! It is not that you always need to be contrary; it is more that you like to honor the variables that life offers. Just going along with the crowd, with the "expected" or "politically correct" way of doing things, does not sit well with you. You will play along for a while, especially when others force you to behave in particular ways, and then you'll take off and do your own thing as though nothing had happened. You hold a deep respect for individuals who stand in their own truth and who might benefit from your support, guidance, and creative input, and you will seek out ways to offer them your contributions. People often want to get involved with you or at the least look over your shoulder to see what you are up to. It is always your Type and Authority that tells you who and what is important for you in this lifetime.

The Personal Life Theme of DIRECTION (THE SPHINX) (2)
George Clooney Tony Blair Sigmund Freud Johannes Brahms Karl Marx Eva Perón Gary Cooper
Direction is your purpose in life, whether you are finding a direction for yourself or showing the way for others. Many will see you as a lighthouse that allows others to find their own bearings. At times you find yourself pointing a way that defies normal explanation, but if you are true to yourself and your creative impulses, the direction will be the right one. On our planet, the Sphinx in Egypt symbolizes an ancient, forgotten, yet ever-constant mystical guidance toward something greater than ourselves. Somewhere in your being, you remember.
Be aware that your ability to point the way for someone does not automatically imply you then have to take the lead for them, or that it is your responsibility or obligation to carry others through their lives, even if you could. If you find yourself overly obliged to others and continuously helping them find their way, you might consider reviewing how healthy those relationships really are. Pointing the direction for someone and then encouraging them to engage with their own abilities is the best approach. Ultimately, everyone is responsible for their own life journey, and forgetting this can entangle you in one distraction after another.
With your Conscious Sun in Gate 2, you have the means to know things about life and the potential directions that you can take or offer to others, which sometimes cannot be explained because your knowing has no obvious rhyme or reason. It's as though "when you know, you know," and you cannot always explain exactly how or why. Your receptivity is constantly attuning to an orientation in life that goes beyond society's obvious, "normal" assumptions. Often, a chance statement can realign someone's life without you or them being aware at the time how that happened. Trust in your own Type and Authority to know when to involve yourself and be available to give your uncanny guidance and when to stand aside and hold your peace.
Sun in Gate 2
The Fixed Life Theme of THE DRIVER (2)
Your Life Theme involves pointing the way for yourself and others through your own internal engagement to find meaning in life. You establish your own direction in life through balancing the opposites within you, often stretching out expansively into worldly activities, and at the same time you sense your own reality from a silent core of inner "knowing." This balancing process can bring you to the point of being fixed and unchanging in your aims, either remaining stationary and unmoving or set on an unshakeable external trajectory through life.
It can be said that "when you know, you know," and yet there is very little possibility you can explain to someone else exactly how or even what you know. Certain people are going to be happy around you, open to what you are communicating, and amenable to any transformation that comes through what you tell them. However, others might not be so open to what you are telling them, and in these situations, you have to measure within yourself how important it is to reveal something without being able to provide any scientific knowledge, experience, or precedent to reassure them. Just because you know something that you consider important does not mean that anyone else is ready and willing to hear it or do anything about it.
If you seek to bring big changes into the world, find the correct timing and make sure the changes you seek are creative, practical, and most importantly, aligned with your inner sense of what you know is right. Provided you are acting according to your own Type and Authority, and therefore in right timing, this approach assures your success and personal fulfillment.

At the same time, you quietly move apart from those who do not appreciate your transformative ways, however much they might want your attentions.
With your Conscious Sun in Gate 2, you are open to receive direction from aspects of your nature that give you an attunement with a source that cannot be proven but that gives you a profound sense of "knowing." When you know, you know. When you relay that knowing or wisdom into the world, you are likely to be met by disbelief and sometimes scorn until what you know becomes apparent to everyone. You are likely to react to traditions and belief systems that you realize are obsolete, but you know well that good timing and clear statements are very important in bringing about definite changes in people's attitudes. Remember your own Type and Authority, and you will find your own perfect way to defy the world's sleepy ways.
CHAPTER 3Sun in Gate 3
The Personal Life Theme of THE LAWS (1)
Charlie Chaplin Queen Elizabeth II Victoria (Posh) Beckham Jennifer Garner Ann Romney Kate Hudson
Your Life Theme is to establish law and order in an unruly world. You do this by becoming aware of the values that are important to you, which have been gleaned from the lessons of past experiences and dealings with those around you. As a child it was important for you to come to terms with rules and regulations and their consequences. When you appreciate these consequences today, you begin to find the flaws in the ways society has arranged things and can either bring about improvements or find your way around obstacles that you reckon cannot be changed. Potentially melancholic, your nature is transformative in that your own life will progressively jump through many different realities while you espouse the values and laws that you deem essential for the world in which you live.
You are probably aware that in the best circumstances laws are made to give guidance and provide an environment of fairness. However, they also need to be relevant in changing times. Rules that are imposed as a fixed dogma sooner or later are broken or deliberately rewritten. Life is not static, and as changes happen, so does the need to rearrange laws. You will continuously find yourself in the midst of this process and come to realize that not only is your life in an ongoing state of transformation, but so are the lives of everyone, including your family, friends, associates, and clients. Some people will thoroughly enjoy the constant changes taking place around you, and others will find some cause to distance themselves. You are an agent for life transformation, and this is an aspect of your life that is essential for you to appreciate.
With your Conscious Sun in Gate 3, you are called on to innovate through new concepts, standards, and ideas. You have a great need to be grounded and organized while you are innovating; if you aren't, you will find yourself constantly challenged and increasingly unsure of what values are most meaningful for you. Recognize that your life is mutative and that you are always bringing transformation into your own life and the lives of others. Many people are not keen on radical changes and will confront you or leave you to your own ways because the innovations and lifestyle you embrace are too transformational for them. Be clear in your need for organization, and pay attention to your own Type and Authority. If you do, you will find that not only do you attract the company that really appreciates you and your ways, but your life will grow in leaps and bounds and so will your sense of fulfillment.
Sun in Gate 3
The Fixed Life Theme of MUTATION/INNOVATION (1)
Your Life Theme is to transform your world, one way or another, and bring innovations to everyone's life. You do this by overturning old practices, laws, or customs that no longer serve the welfare of humanity and by presenting new alternatives, tried or untried, to replace them. You tend to be very set in your approach to innovation, and you easily attract those who will allow you to take a leadership role regardless of where you might take them. Providing influence or leadership comes naturally to you. With leadership comes the responsibility not only to those who follow you but also to yourself to discern who and what you wish to attract and who and what to avoid.
You have a powerful imagination along with a strong ability to influence others. Both of these abilities need to be exercised with clarity to serve you best. Often you are dealing with situations that involve people who do not have what might be considered the highest values in their lives. Rather than get swayed by values that are not resonant with you, be vigilant that in your own life you allow your own self-assurance to bring about the innovations you know to be right. It is not difficult for you to upend traditions that have been set in place for eons, but having that ability and knowing when to use it is an important distinction to make.
Being overly rigid in your approach toward innovation can lead to disappointments when you cannot make the changes you stand for. However, this fixed attitude of yours can unexpectedly open doorways into powerfully transformative arenas affecting you and everyone around you in thoroughly empowering and groundbreaking ways. Be clear through your attention to Type and Authority about who and what really resonates with you, and you will be amazed at the opportunities life gives you and who joins you and contributes to your journey.
