The Left Angle Cross of Obscuration 2
Primary Characteristics and Energies
This cross is fundamentally about the process of illumination - bringing things into focus by identifying and naming them. It combines the energies of four gates:
- Gate 61 (Inner Truth) in the Head Center
- Gate 62 (Details) in the Throat Center
- Gate 50 (Values) in the Spleen Center
- Gate 3 (Ordering) in the Sacral Center
The combination of these gates creates a powerful energy for clarifying the unclear, giving form to the formless, and bringing structure to the chaotic. Individuals with this cross have a natural ability to perceive underlying patterns and structures, and then articulate them in a way that others can understand and discuss.
The Gate 61 in the Head Center provides inspiration and pressure to know and understand. This connects to Gate 62 in the Throat, which gives the ability to express details and facts precisely. The connection between these two gates forms the Channel of Knowing, linking abstract thought with concrete expression.
Gate 50 in the Spleen Center brings an instinctive sense of what is valuable and worth preserving, while Gate 3 in the Sacral Center provides the energy to initiate new beginnings and create order from chaos.
