Its 4 gates
In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Juxtaposition Cross of Insight” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.
Click
New ideas arrive all at once, and finding the words for them can take a while.
Your ideas often pop up when your mind is resting, and rarely when you hunt for them.
Gate 23 · Throat centerPlain words
You have a knack for making a tangled idea simple, as long as you pick your moment.
With gate 43, insight arrives from one side and you take it apart so it can be shared.
Gate 29 · Sacral centerYour 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.
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 | 43/23 | 29/30 | November 11 to November 16 | Mutation | 0.02% |
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 43.
How common it is
Across 50,000 random births between 1950 and 2010, calculated with our engine: 9 births out of 50,000, or 0.02%. Rank 103 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: Click (gate 43), Plain words (gate 23), Your word (gate 29), Longing (gate 30), plus a control column, Zest (gate 58), 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 43 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:
