Left Angle Cross

Left Angle Cross of Individualism

39/38 | 51/57

Four currents run through this one. The first is provocation. You push at people, and the push is how you find out whether their spirit is a genuine match for yours. If it only irritates them, they are not for you. If it opens something in them, they are. The second is the fighter, the energy that keeps asking what makes a life worth living and will stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves, as long as the fight is genuinely yours. The third is the courage to go where nobody has gone and to deliver a jolt that shakes people out of a comfortable cocoon. The fourth is intuitive clarity, a quiet knowing in the present moment that speaks once, softly, and does not repeat itself.

New to incarnation crosses? Read What Is an Incarnation Cross for how the four gates are calculated, what the three angles mean and how a cross is lived.

With its Personality Sun in Gate 39, this cross sits under Parvati, the eleventh Face of the Godhead, in the Quarter of Civilization. Read The Sixteen Godheads for what that means.

Together these make you difficult to sway and hard to ignore. Your knowing is your own, it arrives from somewhere beneath argument, and you are not easily talked out of it. That immovability is exactly what gives your provocation its force. This is a transpersonal life, which means your purpose arrives through other people. You are meant to be drawn into their lives and to jolt something loose there. What you shake up in someone else is not a side effect of this life, it is the work. You are the one who arrives and moves them, while remaining stubbornly, unmistakably yourself.

None of this shows itself all at once. A cross is a direction rather than a job description, and it reveals its meaning slowly, across years of lived experience. The way to live it well is simple to say and takes practice to trust: follow your Strategy and your Authority, and make each decision correctly for you. Choose your fights with real care, and act on your hunches in the moment rather than arguing with them. Do that, and the theme stops being an idea and becomes the life you are actually living.
