Help starts from a gut response and copes with uncertain outcomes. The lack of the one who helps eventually demands its due; what she has been through stays held until it can be told whole, like what has been confided to her.
Giving and asking, two motors
Two gates of the cross speak of what you give and what is lacking. Gate 27, Caring, offers concrete care from the Sacral; Gate 19, Wanting, names a specific lack from the Root. These are two motors that the cross does not link by any channel: giving and asking remain two distinct movements there, each with its own pressure.
The profile places this cross in the Left Angle, the angle of transpersonal karma.
The community grocery
At the counter of a community grocery store in Limoges, Ginette knows the children’s first names and each family’s end-of-month struggles. A young mother asks her whether two cans of infant formula can be put aside until Friday. Ginette looks at the shelf for a moment, then stores them under the counter with a name on them.
What families tell her between two weighings does not leave the shop. At the association’s office, she talks about needs, never about people.
In the spring, she can no longer bear standing six hours straight. She does not complain in general terms: she asks the office for a high stool behind the register and a twenty-minute break at noon. She gets them the following week.
Care that also knows how to ask
Helping and asking become possible in the same life. The 27 gives without a set recipient, to a family, to a volunteer or to the one who helps.
From the Personality Earth, Gate 28, Game Player, commits the person to ventures with no guarantee, a shop that might close, premises taken over at the last minute, when instinct has let them through.
The 19 adds what care readily forgets: pointing out one’s own lack, in terms precise enough for someone to respond. The one who helps without counting the cost can then say what she needs.
Gate 33, Privacy, holds what the person has lived until a story can come out of it whole. It also keeps what others have confided to them, without putting it into circulation.
Helping so as to ask for nothing
Tireless helping can cover up the lack of the 19. The person keeps quiet about what they are missing; the pressure of the Root then comes out elsewhere, as impatience at the first delay that comes along.
With an open Sacral, the care of the 27 borrows the energy of the other volunteers. The fatigue only shows once the person is back home, after the shop has closed.
For you, for others
For you
Count your own lack among those you serve, then state it in terms concrete enough that someone can respond within the week.
For others
A neighbor who has this cross helps without counting the cost. Return the favor by asking her what she is missing, with a precise question. She will talk about what she has been through when she is ready.
Frequently asked questions about the Left Angle Cross of Alignment
Does stating your own lack mean you stop helping?
Nothing sets them against each other. Care starts from the Sacral, lack from the pressure of the Root: a need named takes nothing away from the help given, and helping does not silence the need.
Can Gate 19 ask for something other than goods?
Yes: calm, a break or a recognized place among others count as much as an object. What matters is that the lack be named precisely.
Do the confidences received go through the 33?
The 33 first holds what the person has lived themselves, until they can tell it whole. What others confide to them, they do not put into circulation; without Gate 13, The Listener, the 33 does not form the channel that turns these stories into material for telling.
How do the two Crosses of Alignment differ?
In the gate of their Personality Sun. Here, it is the 27: the cross starts from concrete care, which the bets of the 28 then accompany. In the other version, the stake comes first.
