The urge to team up, to found something, to work with someone comes before any reason and looks for a bond that lasts. A changing mood colors it, while a force that is always ready turns the slightest response from the gut into action.
Charisma on the Design side
In this version, it is the 20 and the 34, both on the Design side, that form the Channel of Charisma. The Sacral joins the Throat: the gut’s response passes without delay into words and actions.
This channel defines the Sacral, where the 59 sits: the pull toward others rests on a working strength that comes back every day, and that the gut commits as soon as it has responded.
For Human Design, the Right Angle of this cross is a destiny centered on the person themselves.
A series of posters for two
For two years, Quentin’s screen-printing workshop has been printing Paola’s posters for clients; she is an illustrator. One delivery evening, he suggests they launch a collection together that would carry both their names.
He was in good spirits that evening. A week later, the project seemed pointless to him; a month after that, he was talking about it again with pleasure.
In the workshop, none of this wavering shows. A screen tears in the middle of a print run: he replaces it in a few minutes; the series starts again without Paola having had to ask a single question.
Paola said yes after two months. Their shared workshop still exists.
Turning a meeting into a shared workshop
A meeting can become a partnership, a household or a joint project: the 59 supplies the impulse, and the Sacral, defined by the Channel of Charisma, a force that comes back every day for the chosen bond.
This bond also finds a response in action, since a partner’s request passes at once into the gesture or the words of the moment.
The 55 makes enthusiasm vary without touching this force. At its highest, it overflows into ideas for two; at its lowest, nothing essential is lost.
A project born of an impulse thus has what it needs to last, provided the gut has accepted it.
Proposing before anyone has asked
The impulse of the 59 does not always wait to be called upon. Yet the Sacral responds more than it initiates: a partnership proposed to someone who was not looking for anything rests from the outset on the person’s desire alone, and the force of the channel hides this imbalance for a while.
The pull toward others can also be misread. The people around take for a promise what was still only a desire to build. The person ends up bound by a project they had only mentioned.
For you, for others
For you
Look at your desire to team up at different points in your mood, and put your force behind whatever desire holds steady from one moment to the next.
For others
With a colleague who has the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, give their partnership proposals a real answer, even a negative one, rather than a polite yes. Also spell out what you expect of them: they move to action quickly.
Frequently asked questions about the Right Angle Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix
Do the four Crosses of the Sleeping Phoenix say the same thing?
They bring together the same gates, but each starts from a different Personality Sun. Here, it is the 59: what shows first is the urge to build with someone, whereas the Gate 34 version first shows working strength and the Gate 20 version the words of the moment.
Is a partnership born of this impulse meant to last?
It seeks to. The 59 wants a bond that holds; whether it lasts is proven in practice, and the person’s authority decides when to sign.
Can the mood of the 55 undo a joint project?
It can make it seem absurd one day and exciting the following month. Reviewing the project at several moments avoids letting a single mood decide.
How does Gate 34 serve a joint project?
It brings the working strength of the Sacral, which comes back every morning for whatever has stirred a response. In a shared workshop, it is what sustains the long days, as long as the project is one the gut has responded to.
