Juxtaposition Cross of Completion

The Cross of Completion (juxtaposition) is a fixed need (4/1 profile) to see things through to the end. Gate 42 brings the energy to close cycles, gate 32 a sense of what is worth keeping and continuing, and the unconscious gates 60 and 56 add work with limitations and a need for stimulation, stories and new impressions. These people carry on long after others have given up and can spend years on a single study or undertaking. The gift is stamina and reliability; the trap is taking on endless projects or holding on to what has run its course, so it is wise to choose commitments with clear limits.

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.

The Quarter of Initiation is purpose fulfilled through the mind. It spans the gates from 13 to 24 and is linked to the drive to make sense of the world, remember experience and pass it on as stories, ideas and knowledge. People born in this quarter often look for meaning through thinking and learning, and their path involves a personal initiation: learning not to confuse thoughts with the way decisions are actually made.
