The Juxtaposition Cross of Habits is named for Gate 5 and Gate 35. Human Design reads Gate 5, from Hexagram 5, Waiting, as a fixed inner timing that governs eating, sleeping and working, and Gate 35, from Hexagram 35, Progress, as a hunger for progress and for the feeling only a new experience supplies. Juxtaposition Crosses stand apart from the other two families, tied only to the four line one profile, and are read as the most fixed direction the system names.
Its design half is Gate 47 and Gate 22. Gate 47 sits in the Ajna and is read as a mind working over confusion, sometimes for a long time, until sense finally arrives of itself; elsewhere it pairs with Gate 64 in the channel of Abstraction. Gate 22 sits in the Solar Plexus and is read as a social grace that flows or withdraws with the emotional wave rather than on demand; it pairs with Gate 12 in the channel of Openness.
So a chart carrying this cross holds a fixed bodily rhythm against a restless hunger for new experience on its surface, while beneath it a mind still working toward realization answers to a mood-dependent grace, the same two gates the Cross of Grace names in reverse role. The hexagrams are ancient; grouping them into one incarnation cross is the modern system's own construction.
