Cross of Conflict

Full breakdown

Gates: 10 Behavior of the Self, 15 Extremes, 36 Crisis, 6 Friction. Gate numbers: 6/15, 36/10.

Here Gates 12 and 11 fall away — learning, ideas, articulation, prophecy, all of it disappears, replaced by two gates of love: 15, love of humanity, and 10, the potential for self-love, the gate of behavior. This Juxtaposition and the Left Angle Cross that follows it carry two very strong profiling gate-pairs. Gate 10 is one of our strongest role/profile gates, opening toward the three gates of the Integration channels — the foundation of our behavior and our ability to survive, even thrive, through the right conduct.

For these people, closeness at 64 doesn't mean sexuality — sexuality is present, but it's a frustrating theme. Closeness here means friendship, integration with others. They're what I'd call barrier-breakers, aura-crackers — they can enter your aura, and doing so, often trigger a genuinely deep crisis, because they have a gift for creating an environment for friendly connection.

The conflict they live with is that they can't quite leave Eden behind. Juxtaposition Crosses are transitional — a bridge between Eden and the Cross of Edge, where the world absorbs you and it's no longer about where you came from but about doing what it takes to get out. This Cross sits right at that balance point, and its particular difficulty is that it never quite reaches the intimacy that produces children and forward motion — the relationship stalls at friendship, leaving them wondering, 'what am I even doing here, hanging out with all these people with no real life of my own?' Once the 4th line understands its strategy — that friendship comes before love, that opportunity flows from friendship — living their Type makes all of this exactly right for them, however fixed the process.
