Frequently Asked Questions about Incarnation Crosses and Right Angle Crosses

What is an Incarnation Cross in Human Design?

In Human Design, the Incarnation Cross symbolizes a person’s life purpose or main theme. It is determined by four key elements in a person’s chart:

  • Conscious Sun
  • Conscious Earth
  • Unconscious Sun
  • Unconscious Earth

These elements combine to form the Incarnation Cross, with 192 possible variations.

This concept is believed to offer insight into a person’s life direction, highlighting challenges and their overall purpose. It influences behavior, decisions, and life experiences at a fundamental level. By understanding their Incarnation Cross, individuals can gain guidance on living more authentically and fulfilling their life purpose.

How to Find Incarnation Cross in Your Human Design Chart

The Incarnation Cross doesn’t appear visibly on a basic Human Design chart. However, it is visible as a literal cross on a complete mandala, where the personality sun/earth and design sun/earth lines intersect. 

Your Incarnation Cross in your Human Design chart is formed by the top two burgundy or black numbers and the top two tan or red numbers on the chart (depending on what Software you use, depends on what color you see).

These Gates represent the core traits and energies you’re born with, acting as key components of your identity. Out of all the Gate energies in the chart, these four numbers have the strongest impact, shaping about 70% of the personality traits you’re likely to express in your life. Their importance is profound.

When these four Gate energies combine, they create your unique Incarnation Cross, which serves as a label capturing much of your life story. Each Incarnation Cross is personal and cannot be interpreted the same way for everyone, as it is a blend of your specific Gate energies.

The Gate energy in the conscious sun position, represented by the top black number, is the most important of the four. It helps to explain how all the other energies in your Incarnation Cross and chart interact. Paying attention to this conscious sun energy is essential, as it offers deep insights into your true self and how you can authentically express your unique gifts in the world.
