The owners of this Gate guarantee the preservation of harmony in society and the family, thanks to their friendly nature and natural talent for education. They always build friendship with others on the basis of some kind of deal or agreement.
Since such people constantly follow their emotional wave, they should also make adjustments to these agreements. As long as this dynamic persists, they can be very true.
The 37th Gate is the distributor in the family or creative team, while the 40th is the provider. Both of these themes are deeply rooted in the clarity and clarity of the tribal deal.
