Right Angle Cross

Right Angle Cross of Tension 2

39/38 | 21/48

Four currents run through this cross. The first is pressure that provokes. You push at people, and the push is what shows you whether their spirit is a genuine match for yours. If your provocation only irritates someone, they are not right for you. If it opens something in them, they are. The second is the fighter, a pressure to discover what makes a life worth living and the energy to meet adversity head on. The third runs underneath, in the body: a need to be in charge of your own domain, the will of the one who manages and directs. The fourth is depth, an instinctive well holding real answers to the problems people face.

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.

Watch how the four move as one rhythm. Your energy is built to move outward. It presses on the people around you until something in them wakes up: their talent, their purpose, their willingness to lead, the spirit they had not shown anyone. You are one of life's great button pushers, and done well it is a service rather than a provocation for its own sake. The mood you push from is everything. Out of a bad one you draw misery, out of a good one you spark real awareness. Underneath, your own authority and depth give the push somewhere to land. Choose your fights, because the wrong one burns energy you never get back. This is a personal journey. The pressure exists to move your own life forward, and the people it wakes up are met along your own road.

None of this arrives all at once. A cross like this is a direction rather than a fixed job description, and it shows you its meaning slowly, across a lifetime. The way to live it well is simple to name and takes practice to trust: follow your Strategy and your Authority, make each decision correctly for you, and let your timing tell you when the push is right.
