Gate 6“The Gate of Friction”

Gate 6 is in the Emotional Center and carries the energy of friction in relationships. It tests closeness, negotiates boundaries, and determines what is safe and correct in intimacy.

When expressed well, this gate creates clear agreements and protects bonding by preventing premature merging. When distorted, it can create unnecessary conflict, push-pull dynamics, or emotional retraction that confuses others. Emotional clarity, consent, and timing are essential; the right people and the right moment make all the difference.
