Juxtaposition Cross of Ambition

The Juxtaposition Cross of Ambition is about striving for recognition, growth and transformation. Gates 54 and 53 bring ambition and the energy for new beginnings, while gates 32 and 42 add a fear of failure, respect for what lasts and the need to finish what was started. People with this cross can achieve a great deal in the material world, yet a feeling of being undervalued may follow them throughout. It is a fixed, steady path (profile 4/1 only): once committed, they stay committed for a long time. The gift is persistence and resilience; the trap is choosing a path for someone else's approval and not daring to leave it for years.

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition crosses occur only with the 4/1 profile. It is a fixed path, between personal and transpersonal destiny, without turning either way. These people hold one clear theme steadily whatever the circumstances; their strength is constancy, not flexibility.

Quarter of Mutation

The Quarter of Mutation is purpose fulfilled through transformation. It spans the gates from 1 to 19 and relates to change that enters the world gradually, in its own time rather than by anyone's will. People born in this quarter often go through deep personal transformations, learning to let go of the old and to accept the end of one chapter as the start of the next.
