Right Angle Cross of Consciousness

The Right Angle Cross of Consciousness is about becoming aware of the patterns life is made of. Gates 63 and 64 bring doubt, questions and the need to make sense of what has happened, gate 5 a feel for natural rhythm, and gate 35 an appetite for new experience. People with this cross investigate their own life, checking what works and what does not, and their conclusions incidentally help others notice the bigger picture. The gift is a clarity that ripens with time and experience; the trap is mental pressure that demands answers immediately and anxiety about not knowing.

Right Angle

Right Angle crosses belong to the profiles 1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/6 and 4/6 — most people. Their path is personal: life unfolds as their own process, and the people they meet help them through it. They do influence others, but not because they set out to — simply by living their theme.

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 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 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.

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.
