Manvaya Dvara › The 64 dvaras › Dvara 16
Inspiring others: rouse enthusiasm through devotion, music and example.
Throat centre · Vishuddha chakra · hexagram 16 of the I Ching
Enthusiasm that turns into skill. It practises and repeats until something is done with real mastery.
Enthusiasm without depth; claiming skill before the practice has been done.
Every dvara has both. Which one shows depends on awareness, circumstances and the people around you, not on the dvara itself.
In the Dvara Method, if a planet sat in this 5.625° slice of the zodiac at your birth, or about 88 days before it, dvara 16 is part of your chart. It belongs to the Throat centre, which governs expression and making things happen, and sits in the Vishuddha chakra.
On its own it is an open dvara: a quality you have access to, but one that reaches for a partner. It completes a channel only when its partner dvara is also present: 48. That partner can come from your own chart, from another person's chart, or from a passing transit. When it does, the Throat centre becomes defined, and the channel's energy becomes a consistent part of you or of the relationship.
With dvara 48 · The Well in the Instinct centre
Depth turned into skill through repetition. Enthusiasm for perfecting a craft and showing it with mastery.
The Dvara Method teaches that a dvara you were not born with can still be developed through contemplation. The quality to cultivate here is: Inspiring others: rouse enthusiasm through devotion, music and example. The Sun spends about six days in this dvara each year (around 27 May to 2 June), and the Moon passes through it roughly every 27 days, which makes natural times to practise.

Dvara 16 occupies the same slice of the zodiac as hexagram 16 of the I Ching. If you know the 64 gates from Human Design, it corresponds to gate 16. The Dvara Method is independent and reads it in its own words.
