The Vessel of Love, the Same Four Quarters the Other Way Round

This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.

This Right Angle Cross of the Vessel of Love is named for Gate 10 and Gate 15 rather than Gate 46 and Gate 25, and its first article traces all four gates to the shared Identity center behind the family's name. What it does not trace is where the four gates sit on the wheel itself, the Human Design mandala's division of its sixty four gates into four Quarters, and by that measure this variant draws one gate from each of the four, the same spread as its sibling cross built the other way round.

Gate 10, the personality gate here, falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation. Gate 15, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form. Behind them, Gate 46 falls in the Quarter of Duality, purpose fulfilled through bonding, and Gate 25 falls in the Quarter of Initiation, purpose fulfilled through mind.

So the self-regard and tolerance the first article reads on this variant's surface answer to the arcs of transformation and form, while the love of the body and the innocence beneath them answer to the arcs of bonding and mind, the same four arcs its sibling cross draws on with personality and design simply reversed. Naming four different orderings of the same four gates as four distinct crosses is the modern system's own structural choice, and the wheel's own Quarters do not distinguish between the orderings, only the mandala's own arithmetic does.
