Spirit, a Swinging Mood Above Practiced Enthusiasm

The Left Angle Cross of Spirit is named for Gate 59 and Gate 55. Human Design reads Gate 59, from Hexagram 59, Dispersion, sits in the Sacral centre and is read as the energy that breaks down barriers between people; and Gate 55, from Hexagram 55, Abundance, sits in the Solar Plexus and is read as an emotional weather swinging between melancholy and abundance for reasons the person cannot usually name. 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 16 and Gate 9, the same pair the Right Angle Cross of Planning carries as its own personality half. Gate 16 sits in the Throat and is read as enthusiasm refined by repetition into real skill; it pairs with Gate 48 in the channel of the Wavelength. Gate 9 sits in the Sacral centre and is read as the capacity to attend to small details a larger idea depends on; it pairs with Gate 52 in the channel of Concentration.

So a chart carrying this cross dissolves barriers against a mood that swings between melancholy and abundance on its surface, while beneath it an enthusiasm proven through repetition answers to attention paid to the smallest details. The numbers are inherited from the I Ching; reading them as one cross belongs to the modern reading, not the classical one.
