Its 4 gates
In Ra Uru Hu’s teaching, the name “Left Angle Cross of Wishes” sums up how these 4 gates meet. Read them one by one: that is where the concrete content sits.
Sorting chaos
In a messy beginning, you slowly find a new way to put things in order.
You feel pushed to invent truly new ways of living, thinking or making things.
Gate 50 · Spleen centerSafeguard
You make sure shared rules truly protect everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
You look after the wellbeing of your clan, family or community, in calm times and in crises.
Gate 41 · Root centerDaydream
Things often start with a vague wish, an inner movie that pulls you toward something new.
Lack and scarcity fire up your imagination and push you to adapt.
Gate 31 · Throat centerSpokesperson
Your voice can move a group, especially when people chose you to speak for them.
With gate 7 setting the course, your words gain substance.
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 | 3/50 | 41/31 | April 16 to April 21 | Initiation | 0.49% |
| 2 | 50/3 | 31/41 | October 20 to October 24 | Duality | 0.46% |
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 3.
Quarter of Duality: the teaching links this quarter with bonding (relating to another and passing things on). Covers the Sun in gate 50.

The 2-week test
For 14 days, keep a note with 5 columns: Sorting chaos (gate 3), Safeguard (gate 50), Daydream (gate 41), Spokesperson (gate 31), plus a control column, Taste for new (gate 35), 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 3 or 50 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:
- Juxtaposition Cross of Mutation juxtaposition
- Juxtaposition Cross of Values juxtaposition
- Right Angle Cross of Laws right angle
