Its 4 gates
In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Juxtaposition Cross of Ideas” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.
Idea box
Your head produces far more images and possibilities than you could ever act on.
You look for ideas that help a group get along and feel at peace.
Gate 12 · Throat centerWeighed words
You often pause before speaking, and when your words land at the right moment, they carry.
Your voice reaches people through tone and mood; waiting for emotional clarity gives it weight.
Gate 46 · G centerGood timing
Once you commit fully, lucky timing tends to find you: the right door opens just as you walk past it.
Your body is a precious ally, and you treat it with respect and care.
Gate 25 · G centerOpen heart
You love life without conditions, with a spontaneous trust that disappointments never quite put out.
This love goes out to life as a whole, people and animals alike, more than to any one person.
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 | 11/12 | 46/25 | December 15 to December 19 | Mutation | 0.05% |
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 Mutation: the teaching links this quarter with transformation (changing what already exists). Covers the Sun in gate 11.
How common it is
Across 50,000 random births between 1950 and 2010, calculated with our engine: 26 births out of 50,000, or 0.05%. Rank 55 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: Idea box (gate 11), Weighed words (gate 12), Good timing (gate 46), Open heart (gate 25), plus a control column, Antenna (gate 19), 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 11 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:

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).
