The journey often moves from early suppression or fear of one's own creative force, through a period of rebellion and testing, and finally into mature defiance—a state where expression flows freely without attachment to reception. The Design side of the cross, working in the background through the lunar nodes, orchestrates the timing and circumstances in which this defiance is called forth. The cross asks the individual to trust that the right audience,
