Gate 42“The Gate of Growth”
Growing toward completion and harvesting results
Summary
Gate 42 carries the sacral stamina to complete cycles. It feels pressure to finish what has begun and to let growth unfold through time. When this gate is aligned, it brings endurance, maturation, and the satisfaction of closure; when misaligned, it can feel stuck in repeating patterns or frustrated by the messy middle.
With Gate 53 it forms the Channel of Maturation: beginnings get the fuel to become complete. A key lesson is letting things conclude naturally—closure isn't always fast, but it's how the energy becomes wisdom.
