The Right Angle Cross of Laws in Your Human Design Chart
In Human Design, the Right Angle Cross of Laws is one of the 192 Incarnation Crosses, representing a unique life theme focused on understanding, establishing, and transforming the rules and structures that govern human society. This cross combines the energies of four specific gates: Gate 3 (Ordering), Gate 50 (Values), Gate 60 (Acceptance), and Gate 56 (The Storyteller). This cross reflects a profound capacity for creating order through understanding and implementing values-based systems.
The 4 Gates in The Right Angle Cross of Laws
- Gate 3 (Ordering)
- Gate 3 is about mutation and transformation
- On a genetic level, Gate 3 brings new genetic material that pushes up against old genetic material to see if it can be integrated
- On a work level, it seeks to mutate the work experience and response
- Gate 3 responds to work that brings change that, without limitation, can often be maladaptive or just plain strange
- Gate 50 (Values)
- Values and laws are stored in Gate 50
- This gate has the ability to penetrate other people’s auras
- When you are with Gate 50, you will obey the rules and values of the tribe
- Even if you are deeply individual, the energy of Gate 50 will force you energetically to be tribal
- You will care and support even if it isn’t inherent in your design
- Gate 60 (Acceptance)
- Gate 60 is the energy for old or established genetic energy
- This is where “old” genetic energy meets up with “new” genetic information to create mutation
- Gate 60 is conservative and seeks to hold on to what is known to work before making a change
- It brings wisdom about what traditions should be preserved
- Gate 56 (The Storyteller)
- Gate 56 is one of the gifted-teaching gates
- It can be a great teacher who can effectively use metaphors to teach and share
- They can share the stories that help humanity understand its experience on the planet
- People with this gate excel at transmitting wisdom in ways that create lasting understanding
The Core Theme of this Right Angle Cross – Structure and Evolution
The Right Angle Cross of Laws embodies the delicate balance between preservation and transformation of societal structures. It holds an inner drive to understand, maintain, and when necessary, transform the frameworks that govern human interaction.
People with this cross often find themselves naturally drawn to roles where they can influence systems and structures, whether through direct leadership, teaching, or advisory positions. They have an innate understanding of how rules and values shape society and how these can be effectively transmitted and transformed when needed.
The cross carries a right-angle theme, meaning it is focused on personal destiny and contribution to the collective, rather than serving others’ individual needs. Individuals with this cross often find themselves in positions where they must navigate between honoring established systems while recognizing when and how these systems need to evolve.
