Left Angle Cross of Informing (47/22)

The Left Angle Cross of Informing carries the same pair as the Juxtaposition Cross of Oppression, Gate 47 and Gate 22. Human Design reads Gate 47, from Hexagram 47, Oppression, sitting in the Ajna, as a mind working over confusion, sometimes for a long time, until sense finally arrives of itself; and Gate 22, from Hexagram 22, Grace, sitting in the Solar Plexus, as a social grace that flows or withdraws with the emotional wave rather than on demand. It falls in the Left Angle family, which practitioners read as fated in flavour, serving something beyond the individual rather than a self chosen plan.

Its design half is Gate 12 and Gate 11, unchanged from the Cross of Oppression. Gate 12 sits in the Throat and is read as expression that arrives only in the right mood and the right moment; it pairs with Gate 22 in the channel of Openness. Gate 11 sits in the Ajna and is read as a mind full of ideas and concepts that want to be told; it pairs with Gate 56 in the channel of Curiosity.

Where the Juxtaposition reading fixes this waiting mind and conditional grace to a single profile, the Left Angle reading holds them as circumstance's own role, the same cautious voice and untold ideas beneath it either way. The same pair also underlies the Juxtaposition Cross of Grace. The numbers are inherited from the I Ching; reading them as one cross belongs to the modern reading, not the classical one.

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 Left Angle Cross of Informing is named here for Gate 47 and Gate 22, a mind working toward sense exposed ahead of a social grace. Its first article reads Gate 47 as a mind working over confusion, sometimes for a long time, until sense finally arrives of itself, and Gate 22 as a social grace that flows or withdraws with the emotional wave rather than on demand. 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 47, the personality gate here, falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding. Gate 22, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind. Behind them, Gate 12 falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form, and Gate 11 falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation.

So the working mind and the social grace the first article reads on this cross's surface answer to the arcs of bonding and mind, while the mood bound voice and the untold ideas beneath them answer to the arcs of form and transformation, the same four arcs the cross's own reversal, Gate 22 over Gate 47, will draw on again 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.
