Juxtaposition Cross of Moods

Find your Incarnation Cross on your free chart

Enter your birth date, time and place to see your cross and its four Gate numbers.

Look for the line that reads Juxtaposition Cross of Moods. The four numbers in brackets are the Gates of your Personality Sun and Earth, then your Design Sun and Earth, for example (55/59 | 9/16). They match the four Gates below. The chart symbols guide shows where the Sun and Earth sit in the two planet columns.

The Moods cross on the BodyGraph

Three Centers hold the four Gates. Gate 55, Spirit, is in the Solar Plexus, and Gates 59 and 9, Sexuality and Focus, are both in the Sacral. Gate 16, Skills, is in the Throat. The conscious pair comes from the Right Angle Cross of The Sleeping Phoenix, and the Design pair comes from the Right Angle Cross of Planning.

Juxtaposition Cross of Moods at a glance

Written three ways, as charts and searches write it: Moods: 55/59 | 9/16, 55/59 9/16 or 55 59 9 16.

How the Moods cross is placed

The Moods (55/59 | 9/16)

Spirit is your conscious Sun and Sexuality your conscious Earth, so feeling and the wish for closeness are the part of the cross you notice most. Focus and Skills run on the Design side. The steadying habits of concentration and practice are in you, and others often see them before you give them credit.

The four Gates in plain language

Start with the Gate that holds your Personality Sun, then its Earth, then the Design pair.

Gate 55: Spirit

Gate 55, Spirit, is the conscious Sun and the cross's only Solar Plexus Gate. The Solar Plexus is both a motor and an awareness Center. Its hexagram is Abundance. It completes Channel 39-55 with Gate 39 in the Root, a Channel of moodiness. The fixed fourth line is Assimilation, so the feeling in this cross is meant to be taken in and absorbed over time. It is a mood you live with, not one you solve.

Gate 59: Sexuality

Gate 59, Sexuality, is the conscious Earth and a Sacral Gate. Its hexagram is Dispersion, which breaks down barriers between people. It completes Channel 6-59 with Gate 6 in the Solar Plexus, a Channel focused on reproduction. The fixed fourth line is Brotherhood/Sisterhood, so the closeness this Gate seeks in the cross is the kind that builds belonging. It is about being drawn toward people and finding that you stay.

Gate 9: Focus

Gate 9, Focus, is the Design Sun and the second Sacral Gate. Its hexagram is The Taming Power of the Small. Gate 52 in the Root is its partner for 9-52, the Channel of Concentration, which the canon classes as format energy. The fixed first line is Sensibility, so the focus here begins with a practical sense of what matters. It steadies the cross, giving the mood somewhere to go that is not an argument.

Gate 16: Skills

Gate 16, Skills, is the Design Earth and the only Throat Gate. Its hexagram is Enthusiasm. Its Channel partner is Gate 48 in the Spleen, forming 16-48, the Channel of The Wavelength, keynoted as talent. The fixed first line is Delusion, so the enthusiasm in this cross starts with a risk of overestimating itself. Being the only Throat Gate, it is also where the cross finds words for what it feels. That is the honest part: skill grows after the first confident guess has been tested.

The Solar Plexus and the Sacral together

Three of the four Gates sit in two motor Centers. Gate 55 is in the Solar Plexus, and Gates 59 and 9 are in the Sacral. That is a lot of fuel for one cross, and it comes with the Solar Plexus's wave and the Sacral's appetite for work and closeness.

Gates alone do not define a Center, so how much of this reaches your life depends on your chart. The theme is clear either way: feeling and energy are the substance of the cross, and the work is learning to wait for the wave to pass before acting on it.

Gates 9 and 16 give the mood a shape

The Design pair is all practice. Gate 9 is focus and Gate 16 is skill, and both start in their first line: Sensibility and Delusion. Together they are what happens when you take a feeling and do something repeatable with it: a craft, a routine, a piece of work.

That pairing is the cross's quiet strength. The conscious side feels, and the Design side keeps showing up. People who carry Moods often find the moods become easier to live with once they have a practice that is theirs.

Tribal, Individual and Collective moods

Channel 6-59 is Tribal, tied to family and bonding. Channel 39-55 is Individual, a circuit of moods that are yours alone. Channels 9-52 and 16-48 are Collective, about passing on what is learned. The cross draws from all three circuits.

So the same feeling can mean different things depending on which circuit is speaking: a bond that needs tending, a mood that has no explanation, or something to be shared. Learning which one it is helps more than explaining the mood away.

Why the Moods is a Juxtaposition cross

Moods holds a fixed position under the Juxtaposition angle. The emotional waves do not graduate into something else, and the cross does not hand you a new role at midlife. What changes is how you meet them. A fixed fate with a wave in it is mostly a question of timing: what you do with the feeling after it has crested. The Juxtaposition goes with one Profile, 4/1. With any other Profile the same four Gates make a Left Angle cross instead.

The four lines of the Moods cross

A Juxtaposition cross comes only with the 4/1 Profile: your Personality Sun sits in line 4 and your Design Sun in line 1, and each Earth shares the line of its Sun. So unlike every other cross, this one comes with its lines fixed. Everyone born with the Moods cross carries these four.

Living the Moods cross

At work

People with Moods do well where feeling is part of the craft: counseling, music, cooking, caregiving, creative work, sales built on relationships. The work fits when you can let a mood pass before you make a call, and when you have a skill you keep practicing. It breaks down in jobs that demand a steady emotional temperature.

In relationships

In close relationships this cross brings depth and weather. You want closeness and also need time for the wave to settle. Tell the people near you that a mood is not a verdict on them, and ask for patience while it moves. Do not make big statements at the top of a wave or the bottom of one.

In decisions

Moods can show you what you feel right now. It cannot tell you what is right for you.

Let your Strategy and inner Authority make the decisions, and give any strong feeling time to settle before you act. Your Strategy and Authority are how you get there; the cross is where it leads.

When the Moods cross is misread

Questions to sit with

One question for each Gate. Notice which one you answer quickly and which one you avoid.

1. Gate 55: What mood are you in today, and have you given it time before acting on it?
2. Gate 59: Who do you feel drawn to, and what makes you stay?
3. Gate 9: What small, practical thing would steady the week?
4. Gate 16: Which skill are you practicing, and where did the first guess go wrong?
