The Right Angle Cross of Rulership is named for Gate 47 and Gate 22. Human Design reads Gate 47, from Hexagram 47, Oppression, sits in the Ajna and is read as a mind working over confusion, sometimes for a long time, until sense finally arrives of itself; and Gate 22, from Hexagram 22, Grace, sits in the Solar Plexus and is read as a social grace that flows or withdraws with the emotional wave rather than on demand. It sits in the Right Angle family, the most populous of the three, and Human Design reads that family as steered chiefly by personal choice.
Its design half is Gate 45 and Gate 26. Gate 45 sits in the Throat and is read as the gatherer, the voice that holds and distributes a group's resources and speaks for it; it pairs with Gate 21 in the channel of Money. Gate 26 sits in the Heart, or Will, centre and is read as the persuader, a willed salesmanship that can market and, unchecked, exaggerate; it pairs with Gate 44 in the channel of Surrender.
So a chart carrying this cross works a mind toward realization while its social grace answers to mood on the surface, while beneath it a gathering voice is backed by a persuading will, resources and rhetoric in one design half. Both hexagrams are old texts; pairing them this way as a life direction dates from the system's founding in 1987.
