Juxtaposition Cross of the Now

People with the Cross of the Now (juxtaposition) follow a fixed path (4/1 profile) and live first and foremost in the present; past and future hold little interest for them. Gates 20 and 34 form the channel of charisma, the power to act immediately, here and now, while the unconscious gates 37 and 40 pull towards family, community and a fair exchange of support. This creates an inner split between total absorption in their own activity and responsibility to the people close to them. The gift is vivid presence and being productive right now; the trap is getting so lost in the moment that promises and loved ones are forgotten.

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 Civilization is purpose fulfilled through form. It spans the gates from 2 to 33 and is about giving ideas and energy a concrete shape: building, creating, expressing. People born in this quarter often feel a need to show themselves and leave something tangible behind, and their challenge is to create without pressure or haste.
