Gate 10“The Gate of the Behaviour of the Self”
Self-love expressed through authentic behavior
Summary
Gate 10 is in the Identity Center and is often described as the behavior of the Self. It carries the theme of self-love expressed as authenticity: living in a way that matches your nature rather than your conditioning.
In alignment, this gate radiates integrity and naturalness that others can feel. In distortion, it can seek love by changing itself, judge itself harshly, or become reactive when it feels unseen. The gift is simple and demanding: stay true to the self, and let decisions come from Strategy and Authority rather than from needing approval.
