Dvara 40 · Deliverance

Release: forgive mistakes, pardon others and let tension go.

Will centre · Anahata chakra · hexagram 40 of the I Ching

The gift

The will to work and then rest. It delivers for the community and needs time alone to recover.

The shadow

Resentment from working without being valued; refusing help.

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 40

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 40 is part of your chart. It belongs to the Will centre, which governs willpower, self-worth and promises, and sits in the Anahata 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: 37. That partner can come from your own chart, from another person's chart, or from a passing transit. When it does, the Will centre becomes defined, and the channel's energy becomes a consistent part of you or of the relationship.

Cultivating dvara 40

The Dvara Method teaches that a dvara you were not born with can still be developed through contemplation. The quality to cultivate here is: Release: forgive mistakes, pardon others and let tension go. The Sun spends about six days in this dvara each year (around 29 August to 4 September), and the Moon passes through it roughly every 27 days, which makes natural times to practise.

Dvara 40 occupies the same slice of the zodiac as hexagram 40 of the I Ching. If you know the 64 gates from Human Design, it corresponds to gate 40. The Dvara Method is independent and reads it in its own words.
