Juxtaposition Cross of Innocence (25/46)

The Juxtaposition Cross of Innocence is named for Gate 25 and Gate 46. Human Design reads Gate 25, from Hexagram 25, Innocence, sitting in the G or Identity centre, as an innocence that places universal love above any particular attachment; and Gate 46, from Hexagram 46, Pushing Upward, sitting in the same centre, as love of the body, together with a knack for arriving in the right place at the right time. Juxtaposition Crosses form their own family, belonging only to the four line one profile, and Human Design reads them as the tightest, least steerable of the three kinds.

Its design half is Gate 58 and Gate 52. Gate 58 sits in the Root and is read as vitality and the joy of being alive, a pressure that expresses itself as the urge to improve whatever is at hand; it pairs with Gate 18 in the channel of Judgement. Gate 52 sits in the Root and is read as stillness, a pressure that concentrates rather than releases; it pairs with Gate 9 in the channel of Concentration.

So a chart carrying this cross loves impersonally and loves the body at once on its surface, while beneath it a restless urge to improve answers to a stillness that holds it in place. The same four gates also underlie the Cross of Serendipity and the Left Angle Cross of Healing under both its orderings. The hexagrams are ancient; grouping them into one fixed cross is the modern system's own construction.

The Juxtaposition Cross of Innocence is named here for Gate 25 and Gate 46, a universal love exposed ahead of a love of the body. Its first article reads Gate 25 as an innocence that places universal love above any particular attachment, now the more exposed gate, and Gate 46 as love of the body together with a knack for arriving in the right place at the right time. 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 25, the personality gate here, falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind. Gate 46, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding. Behind them, Gate 58 falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation, and Gate 52 falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form.

So the impersonal love and the bodily love the first article reads on this cross's surface answer to the arcs of mind and bonding, while the restless urge to improve and the concentrating stillness beneath them answer to the arcs of transformation and form, the same four gates that also underlie the Left Angle Cross of Healing under both its orderings, and its own reversal, the Juxtaposition Cross of Serendipity, also draws on the same four arcs however its two pairs are assigned to personality and design. Four gates, four different Quarters, no pair sharing an arc: this cross draws its whole reading from every corner of the wheel's own purpose rather than concentrated in one.
