Its 4 gates
In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Juxtaposition Cross of Commitment” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.
Your word
When you say yes you stick to it, so it pays to choose your yeses carefully.
Once committed, you hold on through obstacles and discomfort.
Gate 30 · Solar plexus centerLonging
Strong wishes live in you and can last a long time before they come true.
Your feelings rise and fall in waves; wait for clarity before acting or sharing.
Gate 20 · Throat centerPresence
Often fully in the moment, you say or do things plainly, right here, right now.
You turn what you notice into words or deeds, and with gate 34 words become action.
Gate 34 · Sacral centerFull tank
You have plenty of strength to act and push forward, especially on what you really want.
The real question is how much force to use: neither shrinking nor flattening others, just what the moment calls for.
Where the gates sit
A single variant: juxtaposition only comes with the 4/1 profile, and each Sun gate has its own cross.
| Variant | Gates | Birth Sun | Quarter | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 29/30 | 20/34 | August 17 to August 22 | Duality | 0.03% |
First two numbers: Sun and Earth at your birth. Last two: Sun and Earth about 88 days earlier, the part of the chart called the “design”. Birth Sun dates are for a typical year, give or take a day.
The angle: juxtaposition
The angle comes from the profile alone: here, the 4/1 profile only. The teaching describes a fixed theme that rarely swerves: it stays much the same from one period of life to the next. In our sample, 2.2% of charts have a cross with this angle. The 3 angles explained.
The quarter
Quarter of Duality: the teaching links this quarter with bonding (relating to another and passing things on). Covers the Sun in gate 29.
How common it is
Across 50,000 random births between 1950 and 2010, calculated with our engine: 15 births out of 50,000, or 0.03%. Rank 84 of 112 named crosses. Juxtaposition crosses are all very rare: the 4/1 profile covers only about 2% of charts, spread over 64 crosses. With so few cases, this figure stays approximate.
Celebrities with this cross
None of the 80 people in our collection has it.
The 2-week test
For 14 days, keep a note with 5 columns: Your word (gate 29), Longing (gate 30), Presence (gate 20), Full tank (gate 34), plus a control column, Thirst to know (gate 48), which is not part of this cross. Each evening, reread the line for each gate above and tick the ones that described a real moment of your day, with a word on what happened. After 2 weeks, count the ticks. According to the teaching, the gate of your birth Sun should come out on top. If the 4 cross columns do not clearly beat the control column, give this name little weight.
Same Sun gates, other angles
Someone born with the Sun in gate 29 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:

Does this cross tell me my life purpose?
Human Design often presents the cross as a life purpose. We read it as the theme the teaching links to these 4 gates: a hypothesis to watch in your own life, with the test on this page. No study backs that link (details here).
