Juxtaposition Cross of Need

The Juxtaposition Cross of Need is about a deep need to create in a space of one's own. Gate 19 is sensitive to what people need, gate 33 to retreat and reflection on experience, and gates 1 and 2 bring creative power and an inner sense of direction. For people with this cross, having their own territory and enough resources to give themselves fully to creative work is essential. It is a fixed, steady path (profile 4/1 only), and their work is usually seen first by close friends. The gift is original creativity; the trap is withdrawing so far that no one learns what they have made, or putting their needs above their relationships.

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 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.
