Juxtaposition Cross of Self-Expression

The Juxtaposition Cross of Self-Expression is about the need to show the world one's uniqueness. Gates 1 and 2 bring creative power and an inner sense of direction, while gates 4 and 49 add ready answers and firm principles. People with this cross say "I know" with confidence, and their thoughts can be surprisingly deep and original. It is a fixed path (profile 4/1 only), and the drive to express themselves never weakens. The gift is being an example others take new ideas from; the trap is talking about themselves so much that there is no room left for anyone else, pushing away the very people they first attracted.

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.
