Channel 6-59: The Channel of Fertility
This channel is about bonding, intimacy and fertility: it carries the energy that closeness grows out of. The fertility also shows up in your work, because creating something new, whether a project, a business or an idea, follows the same pattern as closeness. Your presence has a strong effect on others; some feel drawn to you, others keep their distance, and you don't have to do anything to make that happen. People are quick to read your energy as flirting or a sexual signal, even though it is about connection as a whole, so projections and misunderstandings can arise. If someone feels friction with this energy, it may be touching their own unresolved questions about closeness, and then it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with you personally. The teaching advises committing to a project or a partner only through Strategy and Authority, so that fit, rather than desire, is what tips the balance.
The two gates
Gate 6: The Gate of Friction
Gate 6 is about emotional friction and how you deal with conflict. The hexagram is named “Conflict,” because growth here needs friction.
Gate 59: The Gate of Sexuality
Gate 59 is about intimacy and the desire for close bonds with others. This gate clears away the barriers between people so that connection becomes possible.
The two centers
When this channel is defined, both centers are defined.
Solar Plexus Center
Your feelings come in waves, and for you, clarity only arrives over time.
Sacral Center
Your Sacral stands for life force and stamina, which come into play mostly when you respond to something that speaks to you.
