The Left Angle Cross of the Clarion carries the same pair as the earlier Cross of the Clarion with sun and earth exchanged, Gate 57 and Gate 51. Human Design reads Gate 57, from Hexagram 57, The Gentle, sits in the Spleen and is read as intuition in the present moment, read through hearing rather than sight, now the more exposed gate; and Gate 51, from Hexagram 51, The Arousing, sits in the Heart, or Will, centre and is read as competitive courage that goes first and can startle others awake. It sits in the Left Angle family, and Human Design reads that group as outward facing, less a chosen plan than a role other people keep handing back.
Its design half is Gate 62 and Gate 61, also exchanged. Gate 62 sits in the Throat and is read as the organising of facts and particulars into an order that can be spoken; it pairs with Gate 17 in the channel of Acceptance. Gate 61 sits in the Head and is read as the pressure to know the mystery behind existence; it pairs with Gate 24 in the channel of Awareness.
Putting a gentle intuition ahead of shock changes what this cross puts forward first, while a Throat that speaks detail and a Head that presses to know sit beneath it regardless of order. Both hexagrams are old texts; pairing them this way as a life direction dates from the system's founding in 1987.
