The Right Angle Cross of Contagion (Version 1)

Full breakdown

The Cross of Contagion runs on desire and expectation, and when the Sun is in gate 30, the whole cross is colored by exactly that: wanting to try things, to taste experience directly rather than take someone else's word for it. Think of the old trial-and-error way people learned which mushrooms were safe to eat — someone had to actually try one, and either live to tell about it or not, and that raw information then spread through the group like a contagion, gate to gate, person to person.

This is what makes it a cross of contagion in the truest sense: what one person tries and survives (or doesn't) becomes knowledge that spreads, whether it's a taste, an idea, or a way of living. The gate 30 Sun is the one doing the tasting — desire itself as the engine of discovery.
