The Left Angle Cross of Alpha (Version 2)

Full breakdown

This is the second variation of Alpha. The left angle always seems to make use of the right angle's experience, and here it does it again — Alpha uses the unexpected, the same way Alignment does in its own variation. If you were born with this cross, you'll want this your whole life, though that's no guarantee you'll get it.

41 to 30 is the Channel of Recognition — the channel of feelings — so this becomes an emotional Alpha. People follow this Alpha because they want either the person or the fantasy being offered, and they can follow blindly. That's the risk: others can get caught up in Alpha's own obsessive hopes and cravings, whatever Alpha decides needs doing. Think of the old Soviet apparatchiks who spent their whole careers being good communists and turned into capitalists overnight the moment the opportunity opened — they'd been waiting for that chance the entire time. Alphas seize opportunities the second they appear. They just take and do.
