The Right Angle Cross of Sleeping Phoenix (Version 4)

Full breakdown

The fourth variation puts the Sun in gate 34, Power — the gate that, because it feeds the entire Integration circuit through gates 57, 10, and 20, carries more raw life force than any other Sacral gate. Its first line is the Bully: "Out of my way, I'm busy" — and when the Sun sits here, that line becomes almost a life motto. Don't tell me anything, don't explain, I'm busy, leave me alone — this is simply how these people live, and there's real power behind it, power that will, quite literally, sweep others out of the way so the work can continue.

What's busy about, underneath it all, is life and sex — being productively busy is what makes a person sexually attractive in the first place, and everyone half-knows it, even if it's rarely said out loud. It's why mothers tell their daughters not to marry someone lazy. This Sun cannot get away from gate 59 running quietly underneath its business either, which means there's always an undercurrent of sexual subtext in the work itself. Try to get close to someone like this, and you may have to insist your way into their attention — but that very unavailability, that visible busyness, is exactly what made you notice them in the first place.
