The Juxtaposition Cross of the Driver is named for Gate 2 and Gate 1, the same pair as the Cross of Self-Expression with sun and earth exchanged. Human Design reads Gate 2, from Hexagram 2, The Receptive, as the receptive sense of where a life is meant to go, carried here as the more exposed gate, and Gate 1, from Hexagram 1, The Creative, as the urge to give that direction an individual, creative form. Juxtaposition Crosses form their own family, belonging only to the four line one profile, and the system reads them as the tightest and least steerable of the three kinds.
Its design half, Gate 49 and Gate 4, sits away from the G centre entirely. Gate 49 is in the Solar Plexus and is read as principle, deciding whether an arrangement is acceptable or broken off; elsewhere it pairs with Gate 19 in the channel of Synthesis. Gate 4 is in the Ajna and is read as the mind's habit of proposing answers to open questions; it pairs with Gate 63 in the channel of Logic.
Where the Cross of Self-Expression puts creative form first, this cross puts direction first and lets expression follow it, while beneath both a Solar Plexus judgment of what is acceptable answers to a mind still generating hypotheses. Both hexagrams are old texts; pairing them this way as a life direction dates from the system's founding in 1987.
