The Left Angle Cross of Healing (Version 2)

Full breakdown

This is the only cross tied specifically to healing. Left-angle crosses always come in two variations, always with the conscious Sun flipped to the opposite position. In the first Healing cross, the Sun sat in 25 and the Earth in 46; here, in the second variation, the Sun sits in 46 instead. There are two kinds of healing. One comes from gate 25 — what we'd call medicine: the doctor's treatment, the technical understanding of the body, a genuine service to the physical form. But there's also healing through love. Some people insist love itself can heal, and that's actually true — though not everyone can be healed this way.

Still, if you were born into this second variation of the Healing Cross, you'll try to heal exactly this way — through love. The connection remains through gate 46, through the 46/25 combination, carrying the sensuality that the Sun in 46 brings. But this isn't the love that says, 'I love my neighbor' — it can be a kind of clairvoyance, something that arises spontaneously, simply because that's how it works, and that's the great gift in it.

Dealing with healing, you always have to see its duality, its polarity. These are also people who can die because they weren't loved. There's always a second side: they wait to be healed by love themselves, the way Projectors invite you to dinner hoping that, one day, you'll invite them back. So there are people waiting for love in order to be healed. Healing through love happens through the body, realized through contact. Realizing that sensuality requires connecting with another person. But you also have to understand and accept that this cross can't be lived out without the capacity to commit to another person — and, naturally, when a person takes on that commitment, they do it through love.

This isn't sexual love. The G Center's love is very often not recognized within the personality itself as love; we confuse it with our own desires, with the demands of the Solar Plexus, which is a very different thing altogether. Remember, the G Center ties us to the Whole, to the unity of everything — this isn't personal love, even though we live it out with personal qualities projected onto it by others. People carrying the Healing Cross often feel helpless around the sense that their love for another person could genuinely matter. It can be beautiful, but they can also feel deep pain in life, because they themselves can only truly be healed by love — that's the one thing they really understand.
