This Right Angle Cross of the Sphinx is named for Gate 13 and Gate 7 in that order, the listener placed ahead of the leader. Human Design reads Gate 13, from Hexagram 13, Fellowship, as the one to whom others tell their stories and confide the past, and Gate 7, from Hexagram 7, The Army, as the self cast in a role of leadership, guiding others without necessarily holding formal power. It sits in the Right Angle family, the most populous of the three, and the system reads that family as steered chiefly by personal choice.
Behind that pair, Gate 1 and Gate 2 form the design half, both in the G, or Identity, centre once again. Gate 1 is read as the urge to give an individual creative direction some outward form, pairing elsewhere with Gate 8 in the channel of Inspiration. Gate 2 is read as the receptive sense of where a life is meant to go, pairing with Gate 14 in the channel of the Beat.
Placing the listener ahead of the leader changes what this variant of the Sphinx cross puts forward, witness before guidance, though the same four Identity centre gates run beneath every ordering in the family. The hexagrams are ancient; the four orderings that name four separate crosses belong entirely to the modern system.
