Right Angle Cross of the Sphinx 3

Direction is your purpose in life, whether you are finding a direction for yourself or showing the way for others. Many will see you as a lighthouse that allows others to find their own bearings. At times you find yourself pointing a way that defies normal explanation, but if you are true to yourself and your creative impulses, the direction will be the right one. On our planet, the Sphinx in Egypt symbolizes an ancient, forgotten, yet ever-constant mystical guidance toward something greater than ourselves. Somewhere in your being, you remember.

Be aware that your ability to point the way for someone does not automatically imply you then have to take the lead for them, or that it is your responsibility or obligation to carry others through their lives, even if you could. If you find yourself overly obliged to others and continuously helping them find their way, you might consider reviewing how healthy those relationships really are. Pointing the direction for someone and then encouraging them to engage with their own abilities is the best approach. Ultimately, everyone is responsible for their own life journey, and forgetting this can entangle you in one distraction after another.

With your Conscious Sun in Gate 7, you give logical guidance that aims everyone toward what you see as an assured future. You can make it your business to either take charge of situations or give guidance that’s often drawn from your own experiences. Ultimately, you seek to be influential, even if you offer your input and then withdraw. Gate 7 has many different approaches to “pointing the way” (according to the line numbers that determine your Profile), but no matter what yours is, you are a beacon for those who have concerns for their future well-being. Remember that your own Type and Authority tell you who gets your guidance, and when to give it, as well as letting you know when to be available to lead the way and when to step aside and let others find their own way.
