Juxtaposition Cross of Risks

The Juxtaposition Cross of Risks is about a willingness to take chances for the sake of meaning and the feeling of being truly alive. Gate 28 searches for purpose and is not afraid to gamble, gate 27 cares for its own, and gates 33 and 19 bring a need for retreat and a sensitivity to basic needs and resources. People with this cross mostly take risks where providing for themselves and their loved ones is at stake. It is a fixed path (profile 4/1 only), and the theme does not fade with age. The gift is the courage to try what others won't; the trap is blind bets where the thrill matters more than the real value of the venture.

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 Duality is purpose fulfilled through bonding with others. It spans the gates from 7 to 44 and is concerned with intimacy, partnership, family and the reliability of relationships. People born in this quarter often come to know themselves through pairs, alliances and reciprocity, and their challenge is to build bonds in which both sides remain themselves.
