Juxtaposition Cross of Behavior (10/15)

The Juxtaposition Cross of Behavior carries the same named pair as the Left Angle Cross of Prevention, Gate 10 and Gate 15, with sun and earth exchanged and read here inside the fixed Juxtaposition family. Human Design reads Gate 10, from Hexagram 10, Treading, as behaviour that stays true to one's own nature rather than to expectation, and Gate 15, from Hexagram 15, Modesty, as a love of humanity broad enough to embrace extremes, with no fixed rhythm. Juxtaposition Crosses are set apart from the Right Angle and Left Angle families, reserved for the four line one profile, and read as fixed almost past the point of alternative.

Its design half is Gate 18 and Gate 17. Gate 18 sits in the Spleen and is read as an instinctive alertness to what is flawed and could be set right; elsewhere it pairs with Gate 58 in the channel of Judgement. Gate 17 sits in the Ajna and is read as the forming of opinions that want to be organised and offered to others; it pairs with Gate 62 in the channel of Acceptance.

Where the Left Angle reading of these same gates serves prevention on behalf of others, the Juxtaposition reading holds conduct and tolerance as fixed traits rather than a role assigned. The hexagrams are ancient; grouping them into one incarnation cross is the modern system's own construction.

The Juxtaposition Cross of Behavior is named here for Gate 10 and Gate 15. Its first article reads Gate 10 as behaviour that stays true to one's own nature rather than to expectation, now the more exposed gate, and Gate 15 as a love of humanity broad enough to embrace extremes, with no fixed rhythm. 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 10, the personality gate here, falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation. Gate 15, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form. Behind them, Gate 18 falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding, and Gate 17 falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind.

So the true nature held to and the embraced extremes the first article reads on this cross's surface answer to the arcs of transformation and form, while the instinctive alertness to what is flawed and the mind forming opinions beneath them answer to the arcs of bonding and mind. The same pair, exchanged, is this cross's own reversal, the Juxtaposition Cross of Extremes, and, held instead in the Left Angle family, the Cross of Prevention, both orderings. The Right Angle family carries the same two gates too, as the Cross of the Vessel of Love, but only in this cross's own ordering; no Right Angle cross exists naming the reversed pair that Extremes carries. 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.
