Left Angle Cross of Uncertainty in Human Design

Its 4 gates

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

Gate 8 · Throat center

Standing out

You like adding your own touch to a shared project and helping creative work, yours or someone else's, get seen.

With gate 1 you form a pair: one creates, the other carries the work out to people.

Gate 14 · Sacral center

Reserves

Time, drive, practical means: you often have what it takes to fuel your projects and other people's.

Your effort needs a heading, often given by gate 2; without one, you spin your wheels.

Gate 55 · Solar plexus center

Full or empty

Your moods swing between full and empty, and they color everything you live.

Abundance plays out inside first, in your state of mind more than in what you own.

Gate 59 · Sacral center

Breaking the ice

You know how to melt reserve and build closeness with people.

This pull toward closeness can go as far as bringing something to life together, a child or a shared project.

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	8/14 \| 55/59	May 15 to May 20	Civilization	0.54%
2	14/8 \| 59/55	November 17 to November 21	Mutation	0.43%

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 8.

Quarter of Mutation: the teaching links this quarter with transformation (changing what already exists). Covers the Sun in gate 14.

The 2-week test

Try this

For 14 days, keep a note with 5 columns: Standing out (gate 8), Reserves (gate 14), Full or empty (gate 55), Breaking the ice (gate 59), plus a control column, Poking (gate 39), 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 8 or 14 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:
