Contribution, an Individual Style Fuelled by Skilled Power

The Juxtaposition Cross of Contribution is named for Gate 8 and Gate 14. Human Design reads Gate 8, from Hexagram 8, Holding Together, sitting in the Throat, as the urge to contribute an individual style and stand publicly behind it; and Gate 14, from Hexagram 14, Possession in Great Measure, sitting in the Sacral centre, as the power skill that directs resources and effort toward work worth doing. 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 55 and Gate 59. Gate 55 sits in the Solar Plexus and is read as an emotional weather swinging between melancholy and abundance for reasons the person cannot usually name; it pairs with Gate 39 in the channel of Emoting. Gate 59 sits in the Sacral centre and is read as the energy that breaks down barriers between people; it pairs with Gate 6 in the channel of Mating.

So a chart carrying this cross contributes a public style fuelled by directed resources on its surface, while beneath it a swinging mood answers to an urge that dissolves barriers between people. The same pair also reverses as the Left Angle Cross of Uncertainty. Both hexagrams are old texts; pairing them this way as a life direction dates from the system's founding in 1987.
