Left Angle Cross of the Alpha

This is the cross of a leader who makes sure the group feels safe and has what it needs to survive. Gates 31 and 41 bring natural influence and a vision of the future, while 24 and 44 add the ability to think through a plan and an instinct for what has happened before. The path is transpersonal: their leadership has power only when others recognise and choose them. The gift is giving people a sense of protection and a clear direction. The trap is taking charge when nobody asked and turning care into control.

Variations of the cross

The cross has 2 variations, one for each Personality Sun gate. The theme is shared; the particular gates give it its shade:

  • 31/41 | 24/44 — Quarter of Civilization. Sun 31 “Leading”, Earth 41 “Contraction”; in the Design, Sun 24 “Rationalization”, Earth 44 “Alertness”.
  • 41/31 | 44/24 — Quarter of Mutation. Sun 41 “Contraction”, Earth 31 “Leading”; in the Design, Sun 44 “Alertness”, Earth 24 “Rationalization”.

Left Angle

Left Angle crosses belong to the profiles 5/1, 5/2, 6/2 and 6/3. Their path is transpersonal: it opens up through encounters, relationships and mutual influence. Some connections become fateful — through them they give something and receive something, which is why entering them by their own authority matters so much.

Quarter of Civilization

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.

Quarter of Mutation

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.
