A way of doing things that people recognize without a signature, a direction that needs no arguments, a guiding role the group hands over, an ear where confidences come to rest: all four gates of this cross sit in the G Center. In this version, Gate 1 holds the Personality Sun.
Four positions, one center
The four gates of the cross sit in the G Center, which the system links to the sense of self and to direction. Each one has its harmonic gate outside the cross: only a channel coming from elsewhere in the chart can define this center.
A bookbinder, a physiotherapist
The notebooks Lucile binds in her workshop in Rouen carry no label. Her customers still recognize them by the stitching she leaves visible. She left accounting for this trade; asked about that choice, she says she knew the direction, not the destination.
Thibault, a physiotherapist at a rural health center, had offered nothing when his colleagues handed him the summer on-call schedule. On his table, patients who came in for a shoulder tell him about a divorce or a son who no longer calls back.
Both have this cross: she with Gate 1 at the Personality Sun, he in one of its other versions.
Known by what you do
With Gate 1 at the Personality Sun, a person becomes known through the object or the gesture before anyone hears their name. The Earth in the 2 gives this mark a direction it does not have to justify. On the Design side, the 7 offers a group looking for its way a guide without a title; the 13 lends an ear to those who need to talk. Neither imposes itself: people come looking for them.
Receiving a story does not mean you have to keep it. Holding on to a story until it ripens belongs to Gate 33, which is not part of this cross.
When the center is open
An open G Center tunes itself to the people around it, and each of the four gates then gives others a hold. The mark takes on the style of the last circle you spent time with; the direction follows the most recent conviction. After a week of confidences, the road looks like the ones you have been hearing about.
When the exhibitors’ association is looking for a president, Lucile thinks she has to accept, since people already turn to her. Nothing obliges her to: the 7 describes a place that a group hands over, and the Right Angle a personal destiny, not a duty.
For you, for others
For you
When your way of doing things, your direction or your place in a group feels borrowed, look for the circle it was born in: that is where it can stay.
For others
A colleague with this cross may guide your team without having asked to, or receive your confidences without having sought them. Tell her when you are counting on her suggestion; do not ask her to keep quiet about what she never promised to keep.
Frequently asked questions about the Right Angle Cross of the Sphinx
Does the mark of Gate 1 imply a creative job?
No. It shows up in any activity: a duty roster, the way a workshop is organized or the phone is answered. No particular talent is involved, only a manner that people end up attributing to someone.
Do you need a defined G Center to have this cross?
No, its gates form no channel with one another. With Gate 14 elsewhere in the chart, the 2-14 defines the G Center; a chart whose only channel is the 7-31 belongs to a Projector who decides through this center.
Does the G Center carry any other Right Angle crosses?
Just one: its four other gates, 10, 15, 25 and 46, make up the Cross of the Vessel of Love. In the Right Angle, the center’s eight gates are shared between these two crosses.
What difference does Gate 1 at the Personality Sun make?
The line of this Sun gives the first number of the profile, which sets the angle. None of the four gates counts more than the others.
