The 64 gates — find yours by birthday
The 64 gates match the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching and divide the zodiac wheel into slices of 5.625°. Every planet at your birth — and about 88 days before — activates a gate, so most charts have 17 to 22 different active gates. The table shows when the Sun moves through each gate, so you can find your Personality Sun gate from your birthday.
