The Right Angle Cross of the Sphinx (Version 3)

Full breakdown

The third variation puts the Sun in gate 7, the Role of the Self in Interaction — logical leadership, the role that's always looking for a way to be influential, seeking the future the way gate 13 seeks the past. Of the Sphinx's four rays, two are individual (gates 2 and 1) and two are collective (gate 13, concerned with the past, and gate 7, trying to project forward into what's coming).

This is the most anticipatory of the Sphinx crosses — people born here genuinely want to be leaders and to give others direction, because that is exactly what gate 7 is built to do. Whether that leadership shows up as authoritarian, democratic, or something else entirely depends on the line, but the underlying want to lead is constant across all of them.
