The Right Angle Cross of Planning carries the same channel as the earlier Cross of Planning with sun and earth exchanged, Gate 40 and Gate 37, the two ends of Community. Human Design reads Gate 40, from Hexagram 40, Deliverance, sitting in the Heart or Will centre, as the willpower to work, held against a real need for aloneness and rest, now the more exposed gate; and Gate 37, from Hexagram 37, The Family, sitting in the Solar Plexus, as the warmth of family and friendship, the bargain that holds a household together. 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 16 and Gate 9, also exchanged. 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 the small details a larger idea depends on; it pairs with Gate 52 in the channel of Concentration.
Putting willed aloneness ahead of the family bargain changes what this cross puts forward first, while the same proven skill and attention to detail sit beneath it regardless of order. The same channel, unreversed, is also the Cross of Planning. The hexagrams are ancient; grouping four of them into one personal cross is the modern system's own construction, dated to 1987.
