It is the Gate of Passive Tension which supplies the fuel for the whole circuit of Understanding in the form of frequency of focus and concentration. This is the so-called Buddha Gate, which makes it possible to bring your physical body and sense organs to a state of rest and use energy in a directed way.
Such people experience a certain pressure to stay in one place without moving, which can sometimes be mistaken for antisocial behavior.
Without an active 9th Gate, a person has the potential to focus energy, but no knowledge of what. The lack of focus in these people can lead to tension, anxiety and depression.

Lines — six stages of development of this energy and possible extremes in its manifestation:

Line 1
Think before you speak.
The Earth exalted. The pause that is so profound that it leads to silence. The pacification of energy that leads to stillness.
Mars exalted. Speaking first and living with the consequences afterwards. Energy that cannot be stilled.
Line 2
Concern.
Venus exalted. The pause that is initiated to benefit others. The pressure to restrain energy for the benefit of others.
Mars in detriment. A selfish and abrupt pause that may endanger others unnecessarily. The pressure to selfishly restrain energy at the expense of others.
Line 3
Controls. External enforcement of inaction.
Saturn exalted. The ability by its very nature to understand restraint with the potential in acceptance, to use the period to redefine strategies. The energy for acceptance in inaction.
Venus in detriment. A deep dissatisfaction with controls that disturb tranquillity, leads to emotional withdrawal and affects vision. The pressure of restraint disturbs tranquillity.
Line 4
Self-discipline
Saturn exalted. Perfected self-discipline and restraint that deals easily and wisely with impulsive temptations. The energy for restraint which recognizes the value of stillness and focus.
Jupiter in detriment. A convolution whose enigmatic nature is normally misunderstood with unpredict- able circumstances. Where too much inaction can lead to a loss of focus, and not to detail. Perfected self-discipline and restraint that deals easily and wisely with impulsive temptations. The energy for restraint which recognizes the value of stillness and focus. Though responsive to the need of a principled control based on the understanding of conditions, there is a tendency due to its natural expansiveness, to doubt and restlessness. Restless energy and doubt in the face of restraint.
Line 5
Explanation. In times of inaction, the often important ability, to explain one's position.
The Earth exalted. The often terse but exceedingly accurate statement. Where inaction and focus can lead to detail.
Pluto exalted. A convolution whose enigmatic nature is normally misunderstood with unpredictable circumstances. Where too much inaction can lead to a loss of focus, and not to detail.
Line 6
Peacefulness.
Venus exalted. A harmonic and balanced attunement that is at ease regardless of the situation. The lack of pressure in times of stillness.
Neptune in detriment. Delusion as a substitute for genuine tranquillity. Given the positive nature of this position, the delusion may be just as effective as the 'real thing'. Where the pacification of the energy is extreme, pressure real or imagined does not disturb the stillness.
