An explanation takes time to come, then more time to be spoken: it has to be understood, checked, and given an opening by a question. The voice that carries it follows the mood of the day.
An authority set in advance
In every chart with this cross, the Channel of Openness, formed by Gate 22, Openness, at the Earth, and Gate 12, Caution, at the Design Sun, defines the Solar Plexus. This center comes first in the order of authorities: every decision there is settled by the wave, whatever the rest of the chart. In the Juxtaposition, the path is described as a fixed fate.
The meeting before
Domitille is a notary in a small town in the Gers, in the practice where her father used to work. Her clients are the children of her father’s clients, and she never goes looking for business.
For three years now, she has offered some clients a meeting she calls “before”: parents say, while they are still alive, what they want to leave and to whom. The idea came to her from twenty years of estates, the ones that had torn families apart and the ones that had been settled without a raised voice; what set them apart came down to what the parents had said, or left unsaid.
She spent a year checking the idea file by file before mentioning it to anyone.
The checked explanation
An explanation that has ripened, then been checked, holds up when someone challenges it. Gate 47, Realization, at the Personality Sun, waits for the meaning to become clear; once it is there, the Design’s 12 chooses its moment, a client’s question, a silence after a signature.
Gate 11, Ideas, opens up avenues around this work that nobody asks for, a family tree on the waiting room wall, Saturday office hours; the 22, at the Earth, means these ideas are welcomed, or not, depending on the day.
What waits too long
The 12 can hold back for too long what ought to be said. An explanation that has been understood and checked stays unspoken for lack of an opening; the family that needed it signs without having heard it.
A 4/1 shares what they know first among the people who know them: newcomers, who would come looking for what other families have found, come second.
For you, for others
For you
Give yourself until the next day before announcing a date. An explanation that came from you deserves to be spoken, even to someone you have only known for a short time.
For others
Put your question frankly to an advisor whose chart contains this cross, then accept the wait. Her answer will come when she is sure. How warm a meeting feels depends on her day, not on you.
Frequently asked questions about the Juxtaposition Cross of Oppression
How long does it take for an explanation to come out?
At least as long as two waits: the wait for the click, which no effort can hurry, and the wait for an opening in the conversation, which the 12 watches for. An explanation can therefore be understood and stay unspoken for weeks.
Does the cross point toward a career in advising?
No. No career can be deduced from a cross; understanding late, checking and passing on at the right moment work just as well in a workshop as behind a counter.
Do the ideas of Gate 11 have a place in this work?
A free place. The 11 comes up with avenues for the pleasure of thinking; a few take shape when the voice finds a day to say them, the others remain images and nothing is lost.
What do those around the person gain by waiting?
An explanation that holds. Spoken late, it has been understood and checked; given too early, even if right, it would not have carried that weight.
