The Juxtaposition Cross of Thinking is named here for Gate 61 and Gate 62. Its first article reads Gate 61 as the pressure to know the mystery behind existence, now the more exposed gate, and Gate 62 as the organising of facts and particulars into an order that can be spoken. What it does not trace is where the four gates sit on the wheel itself, the Human Design mandala's division of its sixty four gates into four Quarters, and by that measure this cross draws one gate from each of the four.
Gate 61, the personality gate here, falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation. Gate 62, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form. Behind them, Gate 50 falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding, and Gate 3 falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind.
So the pressing mystery and the organised fact the first article reads on this cross's surface answer to the arcs of transformation and form, while the guarded responsibility and the ordered beginning beneath them answer to the arcs of bonding and mind. The same pair, exchanged, is this cross's own reversal, the Juxtaposition Cross of Detail, and, held instead in the Left Angle family, the Cross of Obscuration, both orderings; the Right Angle family carries the identical pair too, as the Cross of Maya, both orderings. Four gates, four different Quarters, no pair sharing an arc: this cross draws its whole reading from every corner of the wheel's own purpose rather than concentrated in one.
