Gate 46, known as Pushing Upward or the Gate of Determination of the Self, is located in the G Center within the Quarter of Duality, where purpose is fulfilled through Bonding. Mechanically, this gate governs the love of the body, treating the physical form as a temple and emphasizing that we are always in the right place at the right time. The purpose of its Incarnation Crosses is defined by the individual’s profile geometry:

Right Angle Cross of the Vessel of Love 3 (Gates: 46-25-15-10)

Individuals on this cross are here to fulfill a Personal Destiny centered on the total experience of being in a physical form.

• Embodiment: Their core purpose is to be fully ’embodied’ and alive, finding dedication in living life simply for its own sake.
• Sensual Bonding: Within the Quarter of Duality, they fulfill their purpose by enjoying the physical and sensual dynamics of relationships.
• The “Chalice” of Love: As part of the Vessel of Love, Gate 46 represents the physical container (the flesh) that holds the spirit, aura, and life force. When the Sun is in Gate 46, the overarching theme of the “Vessel” is specifically directed toward the love and discovery of the body.
• Discovery through Presence: They do not force outcomes but instead discover value by being present in the body and letting meaning emerge naturally through lived experience.

Juxtaposition Cross of Serendipity (Gates: 46-25-52-58)

This cross represents a Fixed Fate, acting as a specialized bridge focused on the intersection of effort and timing.

• The Law of Success: The core purpose is rooted in the understanding that correct commitments to an experience, paired with hard work, lead inevitably to good fortune and success.
• Alignment with the Now: These individuals are fixed on being in the right place at the right time, acting as a “transference point” that externalizes the joy of being alive.
• Pressure to Perfect: By bringing in Gate 58 (Vitality) and Gate 52 (Stillness), this cross functions as a “pressure cooker” for correction, using the energy of the Root Center to ensure the physical process is refined and perfected.

Left Angle Cross of Healing 2 (Gates: 46-25-52-58)

The Left Angle Cross represents a Trans-Personal Destiny, where the individual’s purpose is fulfilled through their impact on others.

• Spontaneous Healing: Their purpose is to act as a catalyst for spontaneous healing, which occurs through contact with forces of impersonal, universal love.
• Relational Catalyst: This gift of healing is a rare and joyous quality that comes alive specifically through a focused, committed connection with another person.
• Healing the Spirit and Body: Fulfilling this purpose involves healing the spirit within the body. They demonstrate that true healing often requires a combination of stillness (Gate 52) and the energy to correct (Gate 58) the patterns of the form.
• Maintaining Joy: They are transpersonal agents focused on maintaining the quality and joy of life through the love of being alive in a healthy body, often showing a special sensitivity to those struggling with “dis-ease”.

Summary of the Gate 46 Purpose

Across all configurations, Gate 46 provides the stamina and perseverance to stay inside an experience until its natural completion. While the Right Angle explores the personal satisfaction of embodiment, the Left Angle uses that physical presence to facilitate transpersonal healing and correction. Success for all Gate 46 crosses requires surrender to the cycle of experience; without this commitment, the body may fail under the stress of constant crisis.

Gate 18, known as “Work on What Has Been Spoilt” or the Gate of Correction, is located in the Splenic Center within the Quarter of Duality. Its primary purpose is the restoration of vitality and integrity within collective systems by identifying flaws, weaknesses, and deviations in logical patterns. Mechanically, this gate carries a deep-seated fear of authority, which is first encountered through the parents as a “generation gap” or Oedipus/Electra complex, but eventually broadens into a vigilance to uphold and defend fundamental human rights.

The specific purpose of its Incarnation Crosses is defined by the individual’s profile geometry:

Right Angle Cross of Service 3 (18-17-52-58)

Individuals on this cross are here to fulfill a Personal Destiny centered on correcting societal archetypes and patterns.

• Correction in Service: Their purpose is fulfilled through the ongoing process of perfecting human archetypes (such as male/female or father/mother) to make what is good even better for humanity.
• Built-in Vitality: This cross possesses a built-in life force—the Channel of Judgment (18/58)—which provides an insatiable drive to challenge and perfect any pattern.
• Logical Dissatisfaction: These individuals are often described as “born to complain”; however, this is a logical necessity intended to recover the joy and love lost in a conditioned world.
• Focusing on the Pattern: To be successful, they must direct their critical awareness toward impersonal collective patterns rather than personal relationships to avoid becoming a constant source of uninvited fault-finding.

Juxtaposition Cross of Correction (18-17-39-38)

This cross represents a Fixed Fate, acting as a specialized bridge focused on the absolute recognition of flaws.

• Mastery of Flaws: These individuals are masters at identifying incompetence or flaws in a pattern; they are noted for their ability to “turn country girls into princesses” through precise correction.
• Individual Pressure: Unlike the Right Angle, this cross is fueled by the 38/39 polarity, which introduces a fiercely independent and provocative pressure to struggle for purpose and meaning.
• Challenging Authority: This configuration is not afraid to challenge any authority, even at a spiritual level, operating from an internal certainty that things must be corrected regardless of external resistance.

Left Angle Cross of Upheaval 2 (18-17-39-38)

The Left Angle Cross represents a Trans-Personal Destiny, where the individual’s purpose is fulfilled through disturbing the status quo.

• Disturbing the Peace: Their role is to act as “great button pushers,” sticking their finger in the pie to disturb what isn’t working in preparation for necessary corrections.
• Redirecting Humanity: They are designed to redirect individuals or society in healthier directions by identifying inadequate patterns and demanding they be improved.
• Practical Therapy: They often possess a “heretical view” or a beguiling innocence and are frequently drawn to roles like therapy, understanding that for correction to be effective, it must be practical and applicable.
• Ensuring Rights: Fulfilling this purpose involves a long process of challenge and correction to ensure that human rights are not just given but earned and maintained through vigilance.

Summary of the Gate 18 Purpose

Across all geometries, Gate 18 serves as the font of collective improvement. While the Right Angle explores the research of perfecting societal archetypes, the Left Angle acts as the “propaganda department,” universalizing the need for upheaval to ensure human systems remain healthy, viable, and secure for future evolution. Success for all Gate 18 crosses depends on waiting for the correct invitation to share insights, as uninvited correction is often experienced by others as a personal attack rather than a service.

Gate 48, the Gate of Depth or The Well, is located in the Splenic Center within the Quarter of Duality, where purpose is fulfilled through Bonding. Mechanically, it functions as a deep reservoir of instinctual memory and understanding intended to provide workable, corrective solutions for collective problems. It carries a primary fear of inadequacy—the worry that one does not have enough depth or the skills (Gate 16) to explain and manifest their solutions.

The purpose of its Incarnation Crosses is defined by the specific geometry of the individual’s profile:

Right Angle Cross of Tension 3 (Gates: 48/21, 39/38)

Individuals on this cross are here to fulfill a Personal Destiny centered on using their innate depth to bring understanding to problems.

• Provoking Solutions: Their purpose is fulfilled by bringing tension to the harmonic gates of the cross to provoke progress. Specifically, the 48 provokes the 16 to develop the skills necessary for the common good.
• Boundary Setting: They function as natural boundary setters who are often effective at policing or supervising situations.
• Internal vs. External Tension: Because they are designed to push others toward adequacy, they must externalize this pressure. If the tension is not directed toward correcting patterns for the collective, it results in physical stiffness, internal anxiety, or bodily stress.

Juxtaposition Cross of Depth (Gates: 48/21, 53/54)

This cross represents a Fixed Fate, acting as a specialized bridge that narrows the focus of Gate 48 into a fixed line of movement.

• Transforming Inadequacy: The core purpose is to use depth to further personal ambitions and increase one’s circle of friends to teach or help others transform their inadequacies.
• Strategic Ambition: By replacing the individual provocation of Gates 38/39 with the tribal ambition and new beginnings of Gates 53/54, these individuals focus on instigating new experiences and ambitious projects.
• Resourceful Foundations: They establish a foundation for evaluating and mentoring the skills of others, waiting for their depth to be recognized and invited to solve specific problems.

Left Angle Cross of Endeavor 2 (Gates: 48/21, 53/54)

The Left Angle Cross represents a Trans-Personal Destiny, where the individual’s purpose is fulfilled through their impact on collective structures.

• The “Self-Publisher” Attitude: Their purpose is defined by a driving desire to be in control so they can manifest their depth independently, often embodying an “I will do it myself” attitude.
• Ambitious Agents of Change: They are designed to bring together people with depth to develop communal, business, or scientific structures.
• Action-Oriented Correction: As trans-personal agents, they feel an intense urge to apply their energy to action and experimentation. They serve the “common good” by ensuring that corrective patterns are not just discussed but are actually implemented and matured through the cycles of experience.

Summary of Gate 48 Purpose

Across all configurations, Gate 48 acts as a stabilizer for the quality of collective patterns. While the Right Angle researches the tension required for correction, the Left Angle focuses on the endeavor of manifestation. Success for all Gate 48 crosses depends on Strategy and Authority; because it is a projected gate, its deep solutions and “pure water” are only of value when they are recognized and drawn out by the collective.

Gate 57, known as “The Gentle” or the “Gate of Intuitive Insight,” is located in the Splenic Center within the Quarter of Duality, where purpose is fulfilled through Bonding. Mechanically, this gate is the root of all human awareness and survival intelligence, operating through an intense acoustic sensitivity (the right ear) that scans the environment for vibrations to determine what is safe and healthy in the now.

The purpose of its incarnation crosses is defined by the individual’s profile geometry:

Right Angle Cross of Penetration 3 (Gates: 57/51, 53/54)

Individuals on this cross are here to fulfill a Personal Destiny centered on using their deep intuitive clarity to guide ambition.

• Seeding Initiation: Their purpose is to act as “penetrators” who use their awareness to “seed” others with the potential for mutation or new beginnings. Like a gentle breeze that penetrates to the bone, they make others uncomfortable by going deep into their core and leaving behind a transformative influence.
• Assuaging Fear: By discerning the patterns of the now, they provide a competitive edge that helps the collective assuage fears for tomorrow.
• Non-Permanent Impact: They are designed to penetrate and then walk away; they open the door to initiation but do not necessarily stay to guide others through it.

Juxtaposition Cross of Intuition (Gates: 57/51, 62/61)

This cross represents a Fixed Fate, acting as a specialized bridge between personal exploration and transpersonal clarity.

• Breaking Others Open: The core purpose is to be deeply profound agents who “break others open” using a combination of intuition, detail (Gate 62), and inner truth (Gate 61).
• Delivering the Message: Unlike the Right Angle, these individuals are fixed on the message itself. They use their intuitive depth and shock (Gate 51) to ensure that the information they carry is received by those in their immediate circle.
• Substantiated Insight: They bring mental formulas and facts to their intuition, making their “knowing” more structured and explainable to others.

Left Angle Cross of the Clarion 2 (Gates: 57/51, 62/61)

The Left Angle Cross represents a Trans-Personal Destiny, where the individual’s purpose is fulfilled through their impact on the masses.

• Seducing into Clarity: Their purpose is to carry “essential and inspired information” that the collective needs to hear. Specifically for the 5th line, their role is to “seduce people into intuition and clarity,” leading them away from confusion and toward a more aware state.
• The “Marketing Department” of Awareness: They act as transpersonal agents who universalize intuitive insights to transform society. They are expected to share their “knowing” as a “clarion call,” but they often need to be sought out or pressured by others before they will speak.
• Awareness vs. Shock: While the Gate 51 Clarion uses shock to blast out mental news, the Gate 57 Clarion operates as an awareness gate, using its acoustic sensitivity to provide an intuitive foundation for the collective’s future.

Summary of the Gate 57 Purpose

Across all geometries, Gate 57 serves as the ultimate guide for survival in the now. While the Right Angle focuses on the personal process of penetrating others with seeds of initiation, the Left Angle publicizes those intuitive messages to ensure the security and progress of the collective. Success for these crosses depends on Strategy and Authority, as the “little voice” of the Spleen speaks only once and softly; ignoring it leads to deep-seated fears of the future.

Gate 32, known as Continuity or Duration, is located in the Splenic Center within the Quarter of Duality, where purpose is fulfilled through Bonding. Its mechanical nature is defined by the instinctive recognition of what can and cannot be transformed, serving the material continuity of the Tribe. It carries an underlying fear of failure that acts as a regulatory intelligence for ambition.

The purpose of its incarnation crosses is defined by the individual’s profile geometry:

Right Angle Cross of the Maya 3 (32/42, 62/61)

Individuals on this cross are here to fulfill a Personal Destiny focused on material development through the lens of survival and detail.

• Evaluating Development: Their core purpose is to use inner knowing and detail to properly evaluate and inspire material development, maturation, and expansion.
• Defining the Illusion: This cross combines Gate 32 (Survival) with Gate 62 (Details), Gate 61 (Mystery), and Gate 42 (Growth) to construct and define the “Maya” or the illusion of the material world.
• Species Survival: On a broader level, they are driven by a deep concern that the human species does not fail or become extinct, believing that collective progress is the healthiest path for everyone.
• Bonding for Growth: Within the Quarter of Duality, they see the pair bond as a necessary catalyst for growth and tribal transformation.

Juxtaposition Cross of Conservation (32/42, 56/60)

This cross represents a Fixed Fate, acting as a specialized bridge focused on the preservation of vital resources.

• Ensuring the Future: Their purpose is to act as wary risk-takers who are guided by the value of continuity. They focus on conserving resources specifically to ensure the survival of future generations.
• Establishing Boundaries: By incorporating Gate 60 (Limitation) and Gate 56 (Stimulation), they move through life on a fixed track that emphasizes structural rules and traditional frameworks.
• Fixed Movement: They influence those who enter their aura by demonstrating a dedicated focus on what must be preserved from the past to maintain continuity.

Left Angle Cross of Limitation 2 (32/42, 56/60)

The Left Angle Cross represents a Trans-Personal Destiny, requiring interaction with others to fulfill a trajectory focused on long-term viability.

• Practical Longevity: Their purpose is to view impermanence as a pressure that forces society to value practicality and the ability to withstand the test of time, particularly in business or industry.
• Flexibility and Adaptation: Their role involves easy adaptation to circumstances (flexibility) while masking inner pressure to ensure long-term viability.
• Pressure Toward Change: Unlike the conservative Right Angle, this cross recognizes that change is necessary for survival and uses their influence to assess whether transformations are worth sustaining.
• Tribal Correction: They act as agents who remind the tribe that form is always available for mutation, seeking to align individuals with a direction that satisfies tribal needs through cycles of experience.

Summary of the Gate 32 Purpose

Across all geometries, Gate 32 functions as a continuity officer for humanity. While the Right Angle researches the evaluation of material expansion, the Left Angle publicizes the necessity of practicality and limitation to ensure that tribal and collective structures remain viable and secure against failure. Success for all Gate 32 crosses depends on staying attuned to splenic instincts and relying on Strategy and Authority for correct timing, as their insights must be recognized and invited to be effective.

Gate 50, known as The Cauldron or the Gate of Values, is located in the Splenic Center within the Quarter of Duality, where purpose is fulfilled through Bonding. Mechanically, it is the source of human intelligence—fusing the streams of instinct, intuition, and taste—and acts as the Tribal Guardian that establishes rules for moral conditioning and community survival. It carries a primary fear of responsibility, and its crosses are designed to manage the laws that protect the tribe’s viability.

Right Angle Cross of Laws 3 (Gates: 50/3, 56/60)

Individuals on this cross are here to fulfill a Personal Destiny centered on the creation and evaluation of the frameworks that govern human interaction.

• Instinctive Evolution: Their purpose is a creative inner process rooted in the instinct to survive mutation and change, adapting laws to accommodate the evolution of the species.
• The Conflict of Law: This cross experiences a deep mechanical tension between Gate 50 (which seeks to carve law into stone for stability) and Gate 3 (the law of mutation, which dictates that all laws will eventually be broken).
• Establishing Order: They provide the necessary constructs to civilize humanity, herding individuals into groups where they can find security and harmony through shared values.
• The Anarchist/Lawyer: Especially in 3rd-line profiles, these individuals often act as “anarchists” who incessantly test and challenge the validity of rules to see which are unjust or no longer functional.

Juxtaposition Cross of Values (Gates: 50/3, 31/41)

This cross represents a Fixed Fate, acting as a specialized bridge that shifts the focus from rigid legal structures toward the refinement of communal values.

• Softening the Law: The core purpose is to act as influential agents who seek opportunities to soften or lessen the severity of the law, ensuring that consequences are fair and commensurate with the “crime”.
• Material Strategy: They move through life on a fixed track, evaluating whether the tribe is intelligent enough or possesses the right strategies to maintain its integrity.
• Fixed Standards: Unlike the Right Angle, which evaluates the law for the whole species, this cross is fixed on maintaining specific moral or practical standards within their immediate social circle.

Left Angle Cross of Wishes 2 (Gates: 50/3, 31/41)

The Left Angle Cross represents a Trans-Personal Destiny, requiring interaction with others to project new possibilities for the collective.

• Utopian Orientation: Their purpose is to embody a utopian vision that transcends traditional values, challenging established cultural and religious standards.
• Idealism and Fantasy: By incorporating Gate 41 (Fantasy), they focus on “fantasy law”—idealistic concepts of how the rules could be in a better future.
• Heretical Leadership: They often act as heretical spokespersons who go against the established law to appeal to the people’s emotions, offering a “new game” or a more inspired way to live.
• Individual Authority: They serve as agents of mutation who teach that every person is their own authority, eventually leading society away from mundane tribal constraints toward a unique, individual spirituality.

Gate 28, known as the Gate of the Game Player or Preponderance of the Great, is located in the Splenic Center within the Quarter of Duality. Mechanically, this gate is driven by a deep existential fear that life might end before one discovers what makes it worth living or what gives it meaning. While it resides in the Quarter of Duality—where purpose is traditionally fulfilled through Bonding—Gate 28 belongs to the Individual (Knowing) Circuit, meaning it seeks purpose by engaging with risk, uncertainty, and struggle to verify that life has significance beyond mere survival.

The purpose of its incarnation crosses is differentiated by the individual’s profile geometry:

Right Angle Cross of the Unexpected 3 (28/27, 31/41)

Individuals on this cross are here to fulfill a Personal Destiny that is often characterized by sudden, transformative shifts.

• Finding Meaning in Struggle: Their core purpose is to become an influential example to others by finding deep personal meaning within their struggles.
• Unexpected Responsibility: They are frequently thrust into positions where they must care for or take responsibility for someone or something in a way they did not anticipate.
• Shattering Patterns: This cross functions as a catalyst for “shattering,” representing the end of old cycles and the start of new ones through the embrace of unexpected challenges.
• Personal Exploration: As a Right Angle geometry, these individuals are primarily focused on their own self-exploration and internal process of verifying the value of life.

Juxtaposition Cross of Risks (28/27, 33/19)

This cross represents a Fixed Fate, acting as a specialized bridge that narrows the focus of Gate 28 into a singular, unwavering trajectory.

• Pushing the Envelope: The purpose of this cross is to act as a risk-taker who intentionally pushes boundaries to obtain what they need or to substantiate their life’s purpose.
• From Unexpected to Calculated: Unlike the Right Angle, where challenges arise spontaneously, the Juxtaposition cross is fixed on the risk itself as a necessary tool for finding meaning.
• Influence through Dedication: These individuals influence their immediate circle by demonstrating an absolute, “one-track” commitment to the risks required for survival and purpose.
• Territorial Support: By incorporating the 19th and 33rd gates, their purpose is also linked to establishing a secure territory or retreat where their commitments can be maintained.

Left Angle Cross of Alignment 2 (28/27, 33/19)

The Left Angle Cross represents a Trans-Personal Destiny, where the individual’s purpose is fulfilled through their impact on and interaction with others.

• Alignment with the New: Their purpose is to be reflective agents who know how to take advantage of unexpected transitions, leaving the old behind to align themselves—and others—with new directions.
• Universalizing Struggle: Fulfilling this purpose often involves the theme of “Treachery” (Line 5), which is the act of provoking others to join the “game” of life to find out for themselves if their existence is worthwhile.
• Putting People in Their Place: They act as prophets of alignment, using their reflective depth to “put people in their place” and guide them toward a more correct and meaningful trajectory.
• Cleaning Up Karma: While the Right Angle creates the initial “karma” of struggle, the Left Angle is here to clean it up by universalizing the lessons learned and showing society how to align with a purposeful path.

Summary of Gate 28 Purpose

Across all geometries, Gate 28 functions as the existential crucible of individuality. It ensures that the human experience is not merely a repetitive mammalian pattern but a struggle for significance. Success for these crosses depends on Strategy and Authority, as fighting the wrong battles leads to exhaustion and bitterness, while fighting the “right” battle brings resilience and a deep sense of aliveness that cannot be borrowed from others.

Gate 44, known as Coming to Meet or the Gate of Alertness, is a splenic awareness gate located in the Quarter of Duality, where purpose is fulfilled through Bonding. Mechanically, it functions as the tribe’s “personnel manager,” utilizing instinctive memory and pattern recognition to determine what has worked for survival in the past. Its primary drive is the fear of the past, which it manages by ensuring material success and survival in the present.

The purpose of its incarnation crosses is defined by the individual’s profile geometry:

Right Angle Cross of the Four Ways 3 (44/24, 33/19)

Individuals on this cross possess a Personal Destiny focused on the viability of human enterprise and the welfare of the tribe.

• Instinctual Viability: They use a keen “sense of smell” to ponder the viability of family enterprises and tribal structures.
• Conditioning Others: Their purpose is often realized by conditioning the perceived needs of those around them; they can make others feel they “need” specific resources or directions.
• Direction through Cycle: They provide a direction for the alignment of others, even if they personally feel they lack a clear sense of alignment themselves.
• Cyclical Life Themes: Their lives are marked by distinct 18.6-year nodal cycles, where their thematic focus changes between the four “ways”: Approach (19), Retreat (33), Return (24), and Coming to Meet (44).

Juxtaposition Cross of Alertness (44/24, 7/13)

This cross represents a Fixed Fate, acting as a specialized bridge focused on the recognition of human interaction and roles.

• Seers of Direction: They are described as “seers” with an instinctual sense of alertness regarding where humanity has been and where it is headed.
• Defining Roles: By incorporating role gates from the Sphinx (Gates 7 and 13), their purpose is to find and identify proper roles for individuals within a structure to ensure successful interaction.
• Fixed Influence: Moving on a fixed track, they are designed to be unwavering in their alertness, providing a foundational influence that others are encouraged to pay attention to.

Left Angle Cross of Incarnation 2 (44/7, 24/13)

The Left Angle Cross represents a Trans-Personal Destiny, requiring interaction with others to fulfill a path centered on the nature of being human.

• Connecting Humanity to the Past: Their purpose is to keep the past alive by revisiting historical patterns and connecting the collective to what is needed for survival and continuity.
• Pondering the Incarnative Process: They endlessly ponder the meaning of incarnating into form and what is required to maintain the bio-form against the pressures of the material world.
• Fusing Duality: They act as agents who fuse the dual nature of human experience into a single direction, often through recruitment or manipulation of resources and people.
• Transpersonal Gateway: Because they often feel like they don’t quite “fit” into the mundane world, they serve as a gateway to the form principle, helping society transition into the civilizing and building processes of the Quarter of Civilization.

Summary of Gate 44 Purpose

Across all configurations, Gate 44 ensures material continuity by asking a single survival question: “Have we survived this before?”. While the Right Angle researches the viability of tribal enterprise, the Left Angle publicizes the patterns of history to guide the collective toward a more secure future. Success for all Gate 44 crosses depends on honoring Splenic timing; their alerts do not require rational explanation but must be recognized by the tribe to avoid repeating past failures.
