The Right Angle Cross of the Four Ways (Version 3)

Full breakdown

The third variation puts the Sun in gate 44, Coming to Meet — a gate rooted, at its base, in the fear of extinction, tied to smell and to deep instinctive memory. This isn't about a person's own remembered experience so much as something older, encoded further back, a persistent uncertainty about whether the resources needed to survive will actually be there.

Gate 44 finds its fulfillment through gate 26, the Egoist — the marketing force willing to expand the tribe materially, the one who gets everyone moving, sharpening spears, going out to hunt when supplies run low. Without that Ego willing to push outward, nothing moves and nobody survives; gate 44 senses the coming shortage, and gate 26 is who it needs to find in order to actually do something about it.
