This Left Angle Cross of Wishes is named for Gate 50 and Gate 3 rather than Gate 3 and Gate 50, guarded responsibility placed ahead of the pressure to order a new start. Human Design reads Gate 50, from Hexagram 50, The Cauldron, as the instinctive sense of responsibility that guards a group and decides its rules, and Gate 3, from Hexagram 3, Difficulty at the Beginning, as the pressure to bring order out of a genuinely new beginning. 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 31 and Gate 41. Gate 31 sits in the Throat and is read as leadership through influence, followed because it is recognised rather than imposed; elsewhere it pairs with Gate 7 in the channel of the Alpha. Gate 41 sits in the Root and is read as the pressure of feeling that opens a new cycle of experience, treated by the system as the structural start of the whole sixty four gate sequence.
Reversing which gate carries the Sun puts guarded responsibility ahead of the pressure to begin, while an elected voice and an opening cycle sit beneath either ordering. Both hexagrams are old texts; pairing them this way as a life direction dates from 1987.
