The Left Angle Cross of Informing is named for Gate 22 and Gate 47. Human Design reads Gate 22, from Hexagram 22, Grace, sitting in the Solar Plexus, as grace and social openness, a charm that flows or withdraws with the emotional wave rather than on demand; and Gate 47, from Hexagram 47, Oppression, sitting in the Ajna, as realisation, the mind working over a confusion until sense finally arrives of itself. 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 11 and Gate 12. Gate 11 sits in the Ajna and is read as a mind full of ideas and concepts that seek meaning and want to be told; it pairs with Gate 56 in the channel of Curiosity. Gate 12 sits in the Throat and is read as expression that arrives only in the right mood and the right moment; it pairs with Gate 22 in the channel of Openness.
So a chart carrying this cross charms and waits on sense on its surface, while beneath it a conceptual fullness answers to a cautious, mood bound voice. The same four gates also underlie the Cross of Oppression and the Cross of Grace, and this cross's own reversal is the Left Angle Cross of Informing. The hexagrams are ancient; grouping them into one transpersonal cross is the modern system's own construction, dated to 1987.
