Juxtaposition Cross of Thinking

The Juxtaposition Cross of Thinking is about constantly reflecting on how the world works. Gate 61 searches for inner truth, gate 62 for precise detail, and gates 50 and 3 add responsibility for values and the ability to bring order to what is new. People with this cross do not chase the unknowable; they think more deeply about what is already known and notice in it what others have missed. It is a fixed path (profile 4/1 only), held steadily over a lifetime. The gift is renewing knowledge and helping others understand more; the trap is getting so absorbed in thought that action is postponed and ideas go round in circles.

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.
