Maya, an Unanswerable Mystery Read From Its Other End

The Right Angle Cross of Maya carries the same two gate pairs as the cross's other three arrangements, here with Gate 61 and Gate 62 exposed. Human Design reads Gate 61, from Hexagram 61, Inner Truth, sitting in the Head, as the pressure to know the mystery behind existence; and Gate 62, from Hexagram 62, Small Preponderance, sitting in the Throat, as detail, the organising of facts into a spoken order. It belongs to the Right Angle family, the largest of the system's three, read as a personal destiny that answers mainly to the individual's own choices.

Its design half is Gate 32 and Gate 42. Gate 32 sits in the Spleen and is read as the instinct for what will last, and caution about change for its own sake; it pairs with Gate 54 in the channel of Transformation. Gate 42 sits in the Sacral centre and is read as the energy to carry a process through to its natural end; it pairs with Gate 53 in the channel of Maturation.

So a chart carrying this cross presses after mystery while naming facts on its surface, while beneath it a caution about lasting answers to an energy that finishes what it starts. All four role arrangements of the same two gate pairs share the name Maya, the Sanskrit word for illusion. The numbers are inherited from the I Ching; reading them as one cross belongs to the modern reading, not the classical one.
