What is wrong shows itself before you know why, and the argument comes later, sometimes the next day. On the Design side, the Root joins a stillness that holds its pressure to a zest for life that spends it.


A channel between two moments

The Personality Sun sits in Gate 18. The harmonic gate of the 18, Gate 58, Vitality, is at the Design Earth, that is, at the moment, some three months before birth, when the Sun was 88 degrees behind. The Channel of Judgment therefore joins the two moments of the chart.

Its two centers are thus defined from the start: the instinct that judges the moment receives a pressure to see through what it points to.

On the Design side, the 52 shares the Root with the 58, a gate that holds back next to a gate that pushes. The 17, at the Personality Earth, forms no channel with any of the other three.

The press proof

In a commercial print shop, the apprentice has set up the press for a festival’s posters and asks Gisèle, the press operator, to take a look before the run. She points to the top left corner: there, something is not right.

She does not yet know why, and says so. The apprentice changes the ink, then the paper, to no effect; it is that evening, on her way home, that Gisèle understands: the blanket has kept the imprint of the previous job. The next morning, she explains it to him in front of the press.

Once the blanket is changed, the run starts. The apprentice copied the explanation onto the back of his makeready notebook; the next time, he checked the blanket before calling anyone.

See, say why, fix

What already exists can be improved; this cross knows where to start. The 18 spots at first contact the place where a piece of work snags; the 17, at the Earth, then builds the steps that let someone else retrace the path without her.

The Channel of Judgment carries the fix through to the end. Turned by the 58 toward the joy of living, the pressure of the Root takes the repair as an occasion for pleasure far more than a chore.

When the whole workshop is in a flurry, the 52 keeps part of this drive in reserve, for work that deserves it.

One flaw calls for another

Finishing a correction does not lower the pressure of the Root: it needs a new target, which the eye finds easily. One Saturday evening, proofs from a neighboring workshop, which no one had submitted to anyone, end up annotated on the kitchen table.

Done without being asked for, a fix ruffles those whose work it was, even when it is right; what they read in it first is that their work was not good enough.

The Strategy of the Type governs this moment: waiting to be asked for one’s eye, responding to a request, or informing before touching anything.

For you, for others

For you

Remove what is off when you have been asked to look, and let the explanation come in its own time. In the evening, close the list of remaining flaws.

For others

Your shop supervisor has this cross? Ask her where the work snags, not why: the reason will follow, with the steps to back it up.

Frequently asked questions about the Right Angle Cross of Service

Which gate provides the explanation that comes after the fact?

The 17, at the Personality Earth, in the Ajna. The 18 shows the spot without its reasons; the 17 then connects scattered facts into a pattern others can follow.

Do all charts with this cross have the Channel of Judgment?

Yes: the 18 and the 58 are among the four gates. In these people, the pressure of the Root therefore always finds an instinct that shows it where to put itself to use.

Why stop when everything is urgent?

So as not to throw the pressure into the first flurry that comes along: the 52 holds it. This pause has nothing to do with a lack of drive, since the 58 provides plenty in the same center.

Can this Right Angle version serve others?

Yes. The fact that the angle means a personal destiny does not say who benefits from what the person does. A fix carried out at the right moment serves the whole workshop, without the angle making it an obligation.
