Dvara 34 · Great Power

Power with propriety: use your strength only on paths that are right.

Life Force centre · Svadhisthana chakra · hexagram 34 of the I Ching

The gift

Great power for doing things. It works in its own way and its own time, with endurance.

The shadow

Busyness for its own sake; force that ignores other people.

Every dvara has both. Which one shows depends on awareness, circumstances and the people around you, not on the dvara itself.

When you carry dvara 34

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 34 is part of your chart. It belongs to the Life Force centre, which governs life force, work energy and fertility, and sits in the Svadhisthana 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 dvaras are also present: 10, 20, 57. That partner can come from your own chart, from another person's chart, or from a passing transit. When it does, the Life Force centre becomes defined, and the channel's energy becomes a consistent part of you or of the relationship.

Cultivating dvara 34

The Dvara Method teaches that a dvara you were not born with can still be developed through contemplation. The quality to cultivate here is: Power with propriety: use your strength only on paths that are right. The Sun spends about six days in this dvara each year (around 22 November to 28 November), and the Moon passes through it roughly every 27 days, which makes natural times to practise.
