Sleeping Phoenix, the Same Four Quarters With the Halves Reversed

This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.

The Right Angle Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, in this ordering, is named for Gate 34 and Gate 20 with the personality and design halves reversed from the ordering named for Gate 59 and Gate 55, the raw power now carried consciously and the dissolved barriers carried behind it. Its first article reads this as power read from its other end, with present awareness placed ahead of a swinging mood. What it does not trace is where the four gates sit on the wheel itself, the Human Design mandala's division of its sixty four gates into four Quarters, and by that measure this ordering still draws on exactly the same four Quarters as the rest of the family, one gate from each.

Gate 34, the personality gate here, falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation. Gate 20, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form. Behind them, Gate 59 falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding, and Gate 55 falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind.

So the raw power and the present moment voice the first article reads on this ordering's surface answer to the arcs of transformation and form, while the dissolved barriers and the swinging mood beneath them answer to the arcs of bonding and mind, the same four arcs the rest of the Sleeping Phoenix family draws on however its two pairs are assigned to personality and design. Reversing which pair is conscious changes what the cross puts forward, but not which Quarters supply its four gates.
