The Root is the pressure centre at the base of the chart, the adrenalised push to get things done and be free of pressure. It is completely open when no gate in it is activated at all, so none of that pressure originates in you. You take in and amplify everyone else's urgency, deadlines and restlessness, and it arrives as a physical sense of needing to hurry. The list only grows as you speed up, because finishing one thing clears space for the next borrowed push.

- Centre
- Root
- Wisdom
- a clear, unprejudiced read on pace: which deadlines are real and how much pressure a person or project is genuinely under
- Ra_theme
- not knowing when to hurry
- Definition
- no activated gates in the centre
- Centre_function
- pressure centre and motor; adrenalised drive to act and to be free of pressure
- Not_self_question
- Am I in a hurry just to be free of the pressure?
- Distinguished_from_undefined
- An undefined Root has an activated gate giving a recognisable kind of pressure. A completely open Root has none, so there is no rhythm of one's own and another person's deadline is felt directly as one's own adrenaline.
