The Left Angle Cross of Confrontation carries the same pair as the earlier Cross of Confrontation with sun and earth exchanged, Gate 45 and Gate 26. Human Design reads Gate 45, from Hexagram 45, Gathering Together, sitting in the Throat, as the gatherer, the voice that holds and distributes a group's resources, now the more exposed gate; and 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. It falls in the Left Angle family, which practitioners read as fated in flavour, serving something beyond the individual rather than a self chosen plan.
Its design half is Gate 36 and Gate 6, also exchanged, both seated in the Solar Plexus. Gate 36 is read as the turbulence of an experience that is genuinely new. Gate 6 is read as the friction that both guards and opens intimate and sexual contact.
Putting the gatherer's voice ahead of persuasion changes what this cross puts forward first, while the same emotional turbulence and guarded intimacy sit beneath it regardless of order. The same four gates also underlie the Juxtaposition Cross of the Trickster and the Juxtaposition Cross of Possession. The numbers are inherited from the I Ching; reading them as one cross belongs to the modern reading, not the classical one.
