Simple Split

Your defined centers form two separate areas, and some people close the gap between them for you.

In your chart, the defined centers form two separate areas. You carry two parts within you, so to speak, and nothing about you is broken. This is the most common kind of split. The gap between them is closed by gates another person brings along, and then the two parts feel connected.

Bridging gates like these can easily take on a lot of weight: they can turn into a Holy Grail that you feel you must have or be, and then affect you more strongly than they deserve to. People with a split often look for partners who carry the matching bridge, because then they feel more whole. A bridging gate alone does not make the other person the right partner, though, and your decisions still go through Strategy and Authority.

One interpretation suggests holding important conversations in public places, such as a café or a movie theater. There, the auras of the other people form the bridge, without you having to engage with them.
