Its 4 gates
In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Left Angle Cross of Dedication” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.
Plain 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 43 · Ajna centerClick
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 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.
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.
Its 2 variants
The same name covers 2 Sun gates. The 4 gates stay the same; only their places change. Your variant depends on the gate of your birth Sun.
| Variant | Gates | Birth Sun | Quarter | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 23/43 | 30/29 | May 9 to May 14 | Civilization | 0.74% |
| 2 | 43/23 | 29/30 | November 11 to November 16 | Mutation | 0.48% |
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: left angle
The angle comes from the profile alone: here, profiles 5/1, 5/2, 6/2 and 6/3. The teaching describes a theme that plays out mostly through encounters: other people are its main ground. In our sample, 33.1% of charts have a cross with this angle. The 3 angles explained.
The quarters
Quarter of Civilization: the teaching links this quarter with form (building and organizing shared life). Covers the Sun in gate 23.
Quarter of Mutation: the teaching links this quarter with transformation (changing what already exists). Covers the Sun in gate 43.

The 2-week test
For 14 days, keep a note with 5 columns: Plain words (gate 23), Click (gate 43), Longing (gate 30), Your word (gate 29), plus a control column, Held stillness (gate 52), 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 23 or 43 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:
- Juxtaposition Cross of Assimilation juxtaposition
- Juxtaposition Cross of Insight juxtaposition
- Right Angle Cross of Explanation right angle
