Left Angle Cross of the Plane in Human Design

Its 4 gates

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

Gate 36 · Solar plexus center

First time

You dive into what you do not know yet, with feelings that can run pretty stormy.

Any first time can feel like a crisis, and that is simply how you meet the unknown.

Gate 6 · Solar plexus center

Right distance

Your mood often decides who gets close to you, and when it is better to keep some air between you.

It sits in the solar plexus, where the flow of feelings between people gets regulated.

Gate 10 · G center

At ease

Staying true to how you are matters, even when not everyone likes it.

You love your life as it comes, challenges included, and follow your convictions even when others find them thin.

Gate 15 · G center

Shifting rhythms

Your rhythms vary a lot from one period to the next, and you are easygoing with people unlike you.

You swing between action and withdrawal, company and solitude, with no predictable pattern.

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	36/6 \| 10/15	March 13 to March 18	Initiation	0.55%
2	6/36 \| 15/10	September 15 to September 20	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 36.

Quarter of Duality: the teaching links this quarter with bonding (relating to another and passing things on). Covers the Sun in gate 6.

The 2-week test

Try this

For 14 days, keep a note with 5 columns: First time (gate 36), Right distance (gate 6), At ease (gate 10), Shifting rhythms (gate 15), plus a control column, Mulling (gate 24), 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 36 or 6 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:
