Have you ever heard of the Incarnation Cross in Human Design? It’s akin to a unique beacon that sheds light on our authentic life direction. Isn’t that fascinating? Yet, you might be wondering, what exactly does it mean, and how could this knowledge benefit you in the present moment? Let’s delve into this intriguing topic!
Here’s the deal: Despite their considerable significance, there’s a scarcity of readily available information about Incarnation Crosses. But fear not! This article aims to provide you with fundamental insights, unraveling their potency and significance along the way.
How Are Incarnation Crosses Derived?
Your Incarnation Cross, as depicted in your Human Design chart, is crafted from the top two black numbers and the top two red numbers delineated on your chart. These numerical values are referred to as “Gate energies,” embodying the inherent energies we carry from birth. They serve as the foundational elements of our identity.
Among all the Gate energies present in our charts, these primary four numbers wield the greatest influence over us. They encapsulate roughly 70% of the personality traits we’re predisposed to manifest in our lives. Their significance cannot be overstated.
When these four numbers intertwine, they form an Incarnation Cross, akin to a label that encapsulates a substantial portion of our life narrative. It’s a bespoke identifier for each individual, carrying unique significance. There’s no universally applicable interpretation for an Incarnation Cross, as it’s a fusion of the four Gate energies that compose it.
The Gate energy positioned in the conscious sun segment, denoted by the top black number, holds paramount importance among the quartet. It serves as the linchpin for comprehending the expression of all other energies within your Cross, as well as throughout your entire chart. Therefore, attentiveness to this conscious sun Gate energy is crucial, as it harbors profound insights into your essence and how you can authentically manifest your distinctive qualities in the world.

The Sun travels through all the Gates of the Activation Center during the Quarter of the Template, encouraging us to put words to our dreams and intentions. Our words activate our intentions and either set them into motion or invite others to join us and support us.

Words create. We are learning to use words as a key element of our creative power. Words allow for Unity. They transmit. They are the interface between the Divine and the Human. Words are Power. They translate the infinite to the finite. Words are a code for a story. Words carry frequencies of energy, and our DNA responds to that language.

What is the Quarter of Duality?
The third Creative Quarter of the year begins with the Sun highlighting Gate 7, the Gate of Collaboration. We are invited to explore our place of service to the greater good, our relationships with each other, and the theme of influence and empowerment.
This Quarter highlights all the Gates of the Self-Actualization Center, highlighting the theme of courage and acting when the internal or external timing is aligned.
We aren’t going to arrive on the threshold of an equitable, sustainable, just, abundant, and peaceful world by ourselves—rugged individuals staking our claim. We’ve tried that model of creating, and it really isn’t increasing the well-being of the world.
The only way we’re going to create the world that so many of us have been dreaming of and holding in our Hearts for our whole lives is if we collaborate. We will arrive into this world together, holding hands and calling each other forward.
If we look at the Gates highlighted in the Creative Quarter of Duality, or the Quarter of Manifestation, we see the story of collaboration unfolding.
Collaboration has the power to override fear, to instill patience and trust in Right Timing. Collaboration harnesses the power of perseverance, determination, and devotion because the results are no longer tied up in the messiness of our egos and our sense of worth. We are driven by compassion, not by winning. Collaboration makes us more sustainable. Collaboration is expansive and cracks us open to new and bigger possibilities and reminds us that we are all in this together.
Collaboration doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it can be as simple as thousands of people holding the energy of the idea that we can create an equitable, just, peaceful, sustainable, and abundant world even if we don’t know how yet. We amplify our power when we unify our vision.

We review what we grew in our metaphorical garden, thinking about our intentions and goals and exploring whether we hit the mark and how we can expand on what we accomplished.
The Sun initiates this Quarter by highlighting Gate 1, the Gate of Purpose. This Gate is the most yang of all the Gates and a part of Transformation Circuitry. Transformation Circuitry brings mutation and change and the theme of individuality.
At the heart of individuality is the need to follow your own conviction, not because it’s selfish, but because it blazes a path forward for others to follow. Individuality creates waves of change, and when we follow our own convictions, it allows others to do the same.
Following your own conviction isn’t selfish, but if you’re not taking action that is deeply rooted in self-love and a high sense of self-worth, your conviction has the potential to actually be a rebellious attempt to prove your lovability or your value.
True conviction initiates a new direction that is rooted in Love, which expands the capacity of love’s expression in the world. It’s not selfish to follow these kinds of convictions. It’s a radical stand for Truth.
This Quarter invites us to, first and foremost, explore the narratives we tell about who we are and to assess whether our creations this year have been an expression of our Authentic Selves. Remember, this isn’t so much about what we’ve done, but rather, are we being honest about who we are? Your life purpose ISN’T about what you do. It’s about being who you ARE.
