Channel 6-59: The Channel of Mating
Channel 6-59 is the Channel of Mating, formed by Gate 6 and Gate 59 across the Solar Plexus and Sacral. Intimacy through emotional friction — the channel of reproduction and partnership.
What is the 6-59 channel?
The 6-59 channel forms when both Gate 6 (Solar Plexus) and Gate 59 (Sacral) are defined in a chart. When both gates are activated, the channel is complete: current flows between the two Centers and both become defined. If only one of the two gates is activated, it is a hanging gate, not a defined channel — the design is drawn to people who carry the missing gate.
What does the Channel of Mating mean?
Intimacy through emotional friction — the channel of reproduction and partnership. Channel 6-59 belongs to the Defense Circuit, part of the Tribal Circuit group, whose keynote is support.
Which gates and centers form it?
Gate 6 sits in the Solar Plexus; Gate 59 sits in the Sacral. See Gate 6 and Gate 59 individually, or the channels overview for how the Tribal Circuit fits with the other six circuits.
