Its 4 gates
In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Juxtaposition Cross of Rationalization” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.
Mulling
A question can loop in your head for days, until an answer finally quiets it.
All that back and forth often ends in something new, an idea that refreshes or transforms.
Gate 44 · Spleen centerPattern memory
You spot patterns in people you have seen before and quickly guess how things will play out.
You quickly read the intentions, talents and motives of the people you meet.
Gate 13 · G centerConfidant
People tell you their life stories easily, and you hold on to what they said for a long time.
You keep track of past experiences and look for the meaning in them.
Gate 7 · G centerPathfinder
Others often look your way to figure out which direction to take together.
You like bringing people together around shared interests so they move forward as one.
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 | 24/44 | 13/7 | April 28 to May 3 | Initiation | 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 Initiation: the teaching links this quarter with the mind (understanding and making sense). Covers the Sun in gate 24.
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 105 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: Mulling (gate 24), Pattern memory (gate 44), Confidant (gate 13), Pathfinder (gate 7), plus a control column, Weighed words (gate 12), 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 24 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).
