The Left Angle Cross of Education is named here for Gate 12 and Gate 11, cautious expression exposed ahead of a mind full of untold ideas. Its first article reads Gate 12 as expression that arrives only in the right mood and the right moment, a caution that can look like reticence, and Gate 11 as a mind full of ideas and concepts that want to be told, though not necessarily acted on. 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 12, the personality gate here, falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form. Gate 11, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation. Behind them, Gate 25 falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind, and Gate 46 falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding.
So the cautious voice and the untold ideas the first article reads on this cross's surface answer to the arcs of form and transformation, while the impersonal innocence and the bodily love beneath them answer to the arcs of mind and bonding, the same four arcs the cross's own reversal, Gate 11 over Gate 12, will draw on again however its two pairs are assigned to personality and design. 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.
