Right Angle Cross of Consciousness in Human Design

Its 4 gates

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

Gate 63 · Head center

Suspicion

What you are told, you tend to question, just to check it holds up.

Your logic looks ahead, and with gate 4 your questions find answers.

Gate 64 · Head center

Fog

Your mind churns through images from the past and can stay hazy before everything clears.

Confusion is a normal step before clarity, so there is no need to fix it.

Gate 5 · Sacral center

Routines

Days that follow a steady rhythm suit you, and your small habits matter more than they look.

A steady tempo reassures you; when it holds, you feel safe.

Gate 35 · Throat center

Taste for new

Boredom arrives fast, so you keep looking for fresh things to experience.

Every new thing you try moves you forward, and variety is how you make progress.

Its 4 variants

The same name covers 4 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	63/64 \| 5/35	March 2 to March 7	Initiation	1.1%
2	35/5 \| 63/64	June 2 to June 7	Civilization	1.0%
3	64/63 \| 35/5	September 4 to September 9	Duality	0.88%
4	5/35 \| 64/63	December 4 to December 8	Mutation	1.1%

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: right angle

The angle comes from the profile alone: here, profiles 1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/6 and 4/6. The teaching describes a theme that plays out mostly along your own track: you live it for yourself first, and others cross it along the way. In our sample, 64.7% 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 63.

Quarter of Civilization: the teaching links this quarter with form (building and organizing shared life). Covers the Sun in gate 35.

Quarter of Duality: the teaching links this quarter with bonding (relating to another and passing things on). Covers the Sun in gate 64.

Quarter of Mutation: the teaching links this quarter with transformation (changing what already exists). Covers the Sun in gate 5.

The 2-week test

Try this

For 14 days, keep a note with 5 columns: Suspicion (gate 63), Fog (gate 64), Routines (gate 5), Taste for new (gate 35), plus a control column, Sorting chaos (gate 3), 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 63, 35, 64 or 5 has one of these crosses, depending on their profile:
