Moods, Emotional Weather Grounded in Small Detail

The Juxtaposition Cross of Moods is named for Gate 55 and Gate 59. Human Design reads Gate 55, from Hexagram 55, Abundance, sits in the Solar Plexus and is read as an emotional weather swinging between melancholy and abundance for reasons the person cannot usually name; and Gate 59, from Hexagram 59, Dispersion, sits in the Sacral centre and is read as the energy that breaks down barriers between people. Juxtaposition Crosses form their own family, belonging only to the four line one profile, and Human Design reads them as the tightest, least steerable of the three kinds.

Its design half is Gate 9 and Gate 16, drawn from two different channels. Gate 9 sits in the Sacral centre and is read as the capacity to attend to small details a larger idea depends on; it pairs with Gate 52 in the channel of Concentration. Gate 16 sits in the Throat and is read as enthusiasm refined by repetition into real skill; it pairs with Gate 48 in the channel of the Wavelength.

So the cross swings an emotional weather against a barrier-dissolving intimacy on the surface, while beneath it a Sacral attention to detail waits on a Throat enthusiasm that only repetition makes skilled. Both hexagrams are old texts; pairing them this way as a life direction dates from the system's founding in 1987.
