Its 4 gates
In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Juxtaposition Cross of Mutation” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.
Sorting chaos
In a messy beginning, you slowly find a new way to put things in order.
You feel pushed to invent truly new ways of living, thinking or making things.
Gate 50 · Spleen centerSafeguard
You make sure shared rules truly protect everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
You look after the wellbeing of your clan, family or community, in calm times and in crises.
Gate 41 · Root centerDaydream
Things often start with a vague wish, an inner movie that pulls you toward something new.
Lack and scarcity fire up your imagination and push you to adapt.
Gate 31 · Throat centerSpokesperson
Your voice can move a group, especially when people chose you to speak for them.
With gate 7 setting the course, your words gain substance.
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 | 3/50 | 41/31 | April 16 to April 21 | Initiation | 0.04% |
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 3.
How common it is
Across 50,000 random births between 1950 and 2010, calculated with our engine: 19 births out of 50,000, or 0.04%. Rank 75 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: Sorting chaos (gate 3), Safeguard (gate 50), Daydream (gate 41), Spokesperson (gate 31), plus a control column, Taste for new (gate 35), 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 3 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).
