The Right Angle Cross of the Sphinx is named for Gate 1 and Gate 2, and its first article traces both gates, together with their design counterparts, Gate 7 and Gate 13, to a creative direction meeting a receptive sense of where it is meant to go. 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 cross draws one gate from each of the four.
Gate 1, the personality gate, falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation. Gate 2, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form. Behind them, Gate 7 falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding, and Gate 13 falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind.
So the creative expression and the receptive direction the first article reads on this cross's surface answer to the arcs of transformation and form, while the leadership and the witness beneath them answer to the arcs of bonding and mind. Four gates, four different Quarters, no pair sharing an arc: the sphinx this cross is named for draws its whole reading from every corner of the wheel's own purpose rather than concentrated in one.
