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:
- 24/44 | 13/7 — Quarter of Initiation. Sun 24 “Rationalization”, Earth 44 “Alertness”; in the Design, Sun 13 “The Listener”, Earth 7 “The Role of the Self”.
- 44/24 | 7/13 — Quarter of Duality. Sun 44 “Alertness”, Earth 24 “Rationalization”; in the Design, Sun 7 “The Role of the Self”, Earth 13 “The Listener”.
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 Initiation
The Quarter of Initiation is purpose fulfilled through the mind. It spans the gates from 13 to 24 and is linked to the drive to make sense of the world, remember experience and pass it on as stories, ideas and knowledge. People born in this quarter often look for meaning through thinking and learning, and their path involves a personal initiation: learning not to confuse thoughts with the way decisions are actually made.
Quarter of Duality
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.
