The Right Angle Cross of the Vessel of Love is named for Gate 46 and Gate 25, and its first article traces both gates and their design counterparts, Gate 15 and Gate 10, to the Identity center they share. What that account does not trace is where each of the four gates sits on the wheel itself, the Human Design mandala that divides the sixty four gates into four Quarters, and by that measure the cross's four gates land in four different Quarters, one each, rather than clustering in one.
Gate 46, the personality gate, falls in the Quarter of Duality, the arc of the wheel whose purpose is fulfilled through bonding. Gate 25, its personality partner, falls in the Quarter of Initiation, the arc whose purpose is fulfilled through mind. Behind them, Gate 15 falls in the Quarter of Civilization, purpose fulfilled through form, and Gate 10 falls in the Quarter of Mutation, purpose fulfilled through transformation.
So a chart carrying this cross draws its love of the body from the arc of bonding, its innocence from the arc of mind, its tolerance from the arc of building form and its self-regard from the arc of transformation, four gates sharing one center in the body but answering to four different arcs of the wheel's own purpose. The four gates line up, one to a Quarter, without pairing Duality with Duality or Mind with Mind, and that spread across the wheel is itself part of what the cross is built from, not an accident of which four hexagrams happened to fall together.
