The Channel of Judgment (58-18) in Relationships

The Channel of Judgment (58-18: A Design of Insatiability) presents a unique challenge in relationships and that is: you are hella judgmental đŸ€Ș

This is not a bad thing, it is a gift! However, it’ll serve you to learn to wield this gift with precision and grace, so that you experience greater success and encounter less resistance đŸ’«

Here’s how it works


With the 58-18, it brings you great JOY to share your awareness of what’s not working and what could be made better. When honoring your design, you live with so much zest, wonder and awe, captivated by the beauty of this existence- this is what motivates your drive to be of service and improve the world around you. You desire to share your vitality by correcting the patterns in humanity that are not healthy. And you are insatiable, because you know that our capacity for pleasure and vitality is infinite! When you are embodying your joy and aliveness, people are actually delighted to hear your judgments 💃

However, here is what will take you out of your joy and drive everyone around you nuts: offering your judgments unsolicited. This is a projected channel, which means it needs to be invited in order for it to be successful.

The 58-18 can always see what needs to be corrected
 but this doesn’t necessarily mean you know HOW to correct it (these solutions live in gate 48, the gate of depth), or you have the skill to make the correction yourself (that’s gate 16, the gate of skills). Your gift is to simply see and name what’s not working, and provide the deliciously joyous fuel that motivates others to want to do something about it.

Gate 58 is one of the gates of love. You show your love by sharing how others can better themselves, and challenging their unhealthy patterns. “I’m telling you this because I love you”. But I repeat: it needs to be invited.

When your mind is driving your life, you will likely try to correct others based on what your conditioning tells you is right vs wrong. For instance, your father behaved in a certain way, and now you are trying to correct your partner to be more like that. Or some polarity teacher has you convinced that your partner needs to do this or that in order to be more masculine or feminine.

But when you are surrendered to the wisdom of your body, you unlock the true brilliance of your 58-18. Your judgments are no longer distorted by conditioning, they are based on what will logically lead to greater vitality. You correct out of pure love, not because you’re trying to get anything you think you want/need for yourself.

It’s helpful to understand that the 58-18 is a collective channel. This means that its highest purpose is fulfilled when it is applied towards correcting patterns in the ✹collective✹, rather than focused inward on yourself and your personal relationships. Even when you are putting your attention on yourself and your tribe, there’s a broader underlying mission motivating you: you’re here to serve the evolution of love and intimacy in humanity as a whole. Gate 18 is here to challenge and correct the archetypal roles of husband/wife, mother/father and share these improvements with the collective.

When you are following your Strategy & Authority, you will naturally align with opportunities to share your gift of judgment with the collective. When your need to share your judgments has healthy outlets (for example, a job where you have the ability to effect change by making corrections on a large scale) you will be less prone to engage in incessant fault-finding in your personal life.

Finally, as is the case with any root to spleen channel, you benefit from regular physical exercise. Making sure you are moving your body will also help to release excess energy.. energy that can otherwise build up and create discomfort, that you may try to release by telling your loved ones everything they’re doing wrong. Perhaps you don’t actually need to pester your husband to drink less coffee, you just need to go for a run. đŸƒâ€â™€ïž
