Left Angle Cross of Industry in Human Design

Its 4 gates

In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Left Angle Cross of Industry” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.

Gate 30 · Solar plexus center

Longing

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 center

Your 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 34 · Sacral center

Full tank

You have plenty of strength to act and push forward, especially on what you really want.

The real question is how much force to use: neither shrinking nor flattening others, just what the moment calls for.

Gate 20 · Throat center

Presence

Often fully in the moment, you say or do things plainly, right here, right now.

You turn what you notice into words or deeds, and with gate 34 words become action.

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	30/29 \| 34/20	February 13 to February 18	Initiation	0.55%
2	29/30 \| 20/34	August 17 to August 22	Duality	0.53%

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 Initiation: the teaching links this quarter with the mind (understanding and making sense). Covers the Sun in gate 30.

Quarter of Duality: the teaching links this quarter with bonding (relating to another and passing things on). Covers the Sun in gate 29.

How common it is

Across 50,000 random births between 1950 and 2010, calculated with our engine: 1.1% of births, about 1 person in 93. Rank 27 of 112 named crosses.

The 2-week test

Try this

For 14 days, keep a note with 5 columns: Longing (gate 30), Your word (gate 29), Full tank (gate 34), Presence (gate 20), plus a control column, In charge (gate 21), 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 30 or 29 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:
