Its 4 gates
In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Juxtaposition Cross of Completion” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.
Seeing it through
Watching a cycle reach its end appeals to you, so you can learn from what happened.
You can carry through what was started and let things ripen.
Gate 32 · Spleen centerStaying power
You can tell what will last, and you know how to change without losing what holds things together.
Your nose also picks out what truly has value.
Gate 60 · Root centerFrame
Constraints bother you less than most, and you often use them as something to push against.
Fighting your limits keeps you stuck, while acknowledging them opens a way through.
Gate 56 · Throat centerStorytelling
Telling stories and sharing ideas is a pleasure, especially when it makes listeners think.
You find your balance by moving around and lining up new experiences.
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 | 42/32 | 60/56 | April 11 to April 15 | Initiation | 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 Initiation: the teaching links this quarter with the mind (understanding and making sense). Covers the Sun in gate 42.
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 85 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: Seeing it through (gate 42), Staying power (gate 32), Frame (gate 60), Storytelling (gate 56), plus a control column, Practice (gate 16), 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 42 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).
