The Juxtaposition Cross of Rationalization is named for Gate 24 and Gate 44. Human Design reads Gate 24, from Hexagram 24, Return, as a mind circling the same thought repeatedly until it finally resolves, and Gate 44, from Hexagram 44, Coming to Meet, as an instinctive memory for people and patterns, a sense of who can be relied on. Juxtaposition Crosses are set apart from the Right Angle and Left Angle families, reserved for the four line one profile, and read as fixed almost past the point of alternative.
Its design half is Gate 13 and Gate 7, both in the G, or Identity, centre. Gate 13 is read as the listener, holding what others confide and bearing witness to the past; elsewhere it pairs with Gate 33 in the channel of the Prodigal. Gate 7 is read as the self cast in a role of leadership, guiding others without necessarily holding formal power; it pairs with Gate 31 in the channel of the Alpha.
So a chart carrying this cross circles a thought until it resolves, Gate 24, while a splenic memory for who can be trusted, Gate 44, works beside it, and beneath both an Identity centre pair of witness and leadership, Gate 13 and Gate 7, carries the design half. The numbers are inherited from the I Ching; reading them as one cross belongs to the modern reading, not the classical one.
