Left Angle Cross of Informing in Human Design

Its 4 gates

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

Gate 22 · Solar plexus center

Mood charm

On good days, you listen well and put people at ease with a lot of charm.

You have a strong taste for beauty, art and harmonious places.

Gate 47 · Ajna center

Piecing together

Your mind sorts through confusing images until an understanding suddenly surfaces.

Confusion is part of the road. Clarity shows up when it is ready, and pressure does not speed it up.

Gate 11 · Ajna center

Idea box

Your head produces far more images and possibilities than you could ever act on.

You look for ideas that help a group get along and feel at peace.

Gate 12 · Throat center

Weighed words

You often pause before speaking, and when your words land at the right moment, they carry.

Your voice reaches people through tone and mood; waiting for emotional clarity gives it weight.

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	22/47 \| 11/12	March 8 to March 12	Initiation	0.47%
2	47/22 \| 12/11	September 10 to September 14	Duality	0.52%

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 22.

Quarter of Duality: the teaching links this quarter with bonding (relating to another and passing things on). Covers the Sun in gate 47.

The 2-week test

Try this

For 14 days, keep a note with 5 columns: Mood charm (gate 22), Piecing together (gate 47), Idea box (gate 11), Weighed words (gate 12), plus a control column, Nurturing (gate 27), 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 22 or 47 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:
