The Left Angle Cross of Confrontation carries the same pair as the Juxtaposition Cross of the Trickster, Gate 26 and Gate 45. Human Design reads Gate 26, from Hexagram 26, The Taming Power of the Great, sitting in the Heart or Will centre, as the persuader, a willed salesmanship that can market and, unchecked, exaggerate; and Gate 45, from Hexagram 45, Gathering Together, sitting in the Throat, as the gatherer, the voice that holds and distributes a group's resources. It belongs to the Left Angle family, read as transpersonal, a direction answering less to what the individual chooses than to what circumstance hands back.
Its design half is Gate 6 and Gate 36, both seated in the Solar Plexus, unchanged from the Trickster. Gate 6 is read as the friction that both guards and opens intimacy; it pairs with Gate 59 in the channel of Mating. Gate 36 is read as the turbulence of an experience that is genuinely new; it pairs with Gate 35 in the channel of Transitoriness.
Where the Juxtaposition reading fixes this persuasion and gathering to a single profile, the Left Angle reading holds them as a role circumstance keeps handing back, with the same guarded intimacy and turbulence beneath. Reversed, the same four gates form the Left Angle Cross of Confrontation a second way and the Juxtaposition Cross of Possession. The hexagrams are ancient; grouping them into one transpersonal cross is the modern system's own construction, dated to 1987.
