The Gatherer

AOCI

Anchored · Open · Collective · Interdependent

The Gatherer is a creator of interconnected warmth—nurturing a close-knit circle while maintaining one core partnership at the center. You naturally bring people together, building community around your anchor bond. For you, love is both rooted and expansive, with one person as your foundation and carefully chosen others enriching the whole.

You thrive in relationships where your core bond feels absolutely secure and additional connections are welcomed openly—where everyone knows each other, where you're included in your partner's other relationships, and where expansion enhances rather than threatens what you've built. Whether it's one-to-one with flexibility or interconnected groups, you believe that openness works when there's deep reassurance at the center. You want both roots and reach.

Gatherers bring inclusive warmth to connection—creating spaces where security and generosity can coexist. Your care teaches others that you can have a primary anchor and still welcome others in, that jealousy is something to work through rather than avoid.


Your mantra: "One anchor, many connections, all known."
