Left Angle Crosses In Human Design

What Is A Left Angle Cross in Human Design?

Did you know that each of us has something called an Incarnation Cross in our Human Design chart? It’s like a special guiding light that illuminates our true life path. Exciting, right? But what exactly is it, and how can knowing about it help you right now? Well, let’s dive in and explore!

Here’s the thing: there’s not a ton of information out there about Incarnation Crosses, even though they’re pretty significant. But don’t worry! This article is here to give you the basics and help you understand their power and importance.

The Impact Of Your Incarnation Cross On Your Life

Before we jump in, though, let me share a little caveat with you. Your Incarnation Cross doesn’t really come into play until you’re already living in alignment with your Human Design Type and Strategy. You see, some people around us seem to have it all figured out—they’re thriving and doing great. But for most of us, we need to discover our Type and Strategy from Human Design to really make our lives work.

Knowing your Incarnation Cross sheds light on your unique life purpose and the path you’re meant to walk. It’s like having your own personal guide to fulfillment. Isn’t that amazing? So, while your Type and Strategy take the spotlight, exploring your Incarnation Cross can be a journey of self-discovery and motivation.

Incarnation Crosses

There are 768 Incarnation cross combinations in Human Design, There are 112 that are named. 448 are Right Angle crosses and 256 are Left Angle crosses. There are 64 crosses that are considered Juxtapositional crosses.

How Are Incarnation Crosses Derived?

Your Incarnation Cross, in your Human Design chart, is formed by the top two black numbers and the top two red numbers listed on your chart. These numbers are called “Gate energies,” and they represent the energies we carry with us from birth. They’re like the building blocks of who we are.

Now, here’s an interesting tidbit: out of all the Gate energies in our charts, these top four numbers have the most influence on us. They represent about 70% of the personality characteristics we’re designed to express in life. They’re pretty important!

When these four numbers come together, they create an Incarnation Cross, which is like a name that tells a major part of our life story. It’s unique to each person and has a special meaning. There’s no one-size-fits-all interpretation for an Incarnation Cross because it’s a combination of the four Gate energies that make it up.

The Gate energy in the conscious sun position, which is the top black number, holds the most significance among the four. This energy is the key to understanding how all the other energies in your Cross, as well as your whole chart, are expressed. So, pay attention to that conscious Sun Gate energy because it holds a lot of insights about who you are and how you can express your unique qualities in the world.

In a moment, I’m going to list each of the Left Angle Crosses in Human design, but before I do so, it’s important that you understand something…

What do the Names and Numbers Mean For Each of the Left Angle Cross Names?

When we describe each of the Incarnation Crosses in Human Design, we use a name and sometimes attach a number to explain it further. Let’s take an example: the Left Angle Cross of Masks 1 (13/7 | 43/23)

The name gives an easy-to-remember description of the theme or story of your life. The numbers that follow it refer to specific Gates in the Human Design chart, which correspond to the I’Ching hexagrams. Each Gate carries unique energies and themes. The format you’ve mentioned breaks down into several components, each significant to understanding that cross’s characteristics.

Let’s explain further by breaking down the Left Angle Cross of Masks 1 (13/7 | 43/23) into its components:

Cross Name: Left Angle Cross of Masks 1

Left Angle: This hints that the person has a special way of interacting with others, learning, and growing through these interactions. Think of it as having a unique angle or perspective in life, especially in how they connect with people.
Cross of Masks: This part of the name talks about the theme or main story of someone’s life. In this case, “Masks” suggests a focus on the different roles we play in life, how we communicate, and how we show ourselves to the world. It’s like saying this person has a knack for understanding and dealing with the various “masks” people wear.

The Numbers: (13/7 | 43/23)

These numbers point to specific energies or themes that are important to this person’s life mission. They’re like ingredients in a recipe that make up who you are:

(13/7 | 43/23): These numbers correspond to the Gates that define the Incarnation Cross. Each Gate has its own energy and theme, contributing to the life purpose described by the Cross:
- 13 and 7 (before the “|”): These numbers are about how you outwardly express yourself and interact with the world.

This pair represents the Gates activated by the Sun (Gate 13) and the Earth (Gate 7) on the Personality (conscious) side of your chart, influencing how you manifest your identity and role in the world.

Gate 13 (The Listener): Associated with the energy of listening and collecting stories, Gate 13 is about being open to others’ experiences and wisdom. It’s a gate of being an empathetic listener, suggesting a role in gathering information to better understand the human condition.

Think of this as the energy of a great listener and storyteller. It’s about understanding life through others’ stories and experiences.

Gate 7 (The Army): This Gate is related to leadership and the collective direction. It emphasizes the role of influence and guidance, focusing on leading others based on the wisdom and understanding collected from various sources (including the insights gained from Gate 13).

This number is all about leadership but in a way that’s about guiding others, based on what you’ve learned from listening and understanding those around you.

43 and 23 (after the “|”): These numbers are more about your inner world and how you think and feel.

The second pair represents the Gates activated by the Earth and Sun on the Design (unconscious) side of your chart, affecting your internal mechanisms and unconscious tendencies.

Gate 43 (Breakthrough): Represents insights and breakthroughs that come from within, often as sudden realizations or epiphanies. Gate 43 is about the internal process of recognizing patterns and arriving at unique understandings, which can significantly impact social change or personal transformation.

This is like having sudden “aha” moments or breakthroughs in thinking. It’s about getting insights that can change how you see things.

Gate 23 (Splitting Apart): This Gate focuses on the articulation of those breakthroughs, the ability to communicate complex ideas in a way that can be understood by others. Gate 23 is about making the abstract concrete, often playing a critical role in teaching or sharing revolutionary ideas with the world.

This is about being able to share those breakthroughs or ideas in a way that others can understand. It’s like being able to explain a complicated idea simply and clearly.

Putting the Name All Together

For someone with the Left Angle Cross of Masks 1, their life’s mission is about understanding the roles we all play (our “masks”) and using their skills in listening, leading, having insights, and communicating to help themselves and others navigate these roles. They’re here to make sense of life’s complexities and share their understanding in a way that brings clarity and direction, both to themselves and the people they connect with.

Great, now that you understand that, let’s describe the characteristics of each of the Left Angle Crosses.

FAQ: Left Angle Crosses in Human Design

What is a Left Angle Cross in Human Design?

A Left Angle Cross is one of the 256 named Incarnation Crosses in Human Design, representing a transpersonal life purpose. Individuals with a Left Angle Cross are here to influence, guide, and transform others—often through wisdom, leadership, or healing.

How does my Incarnation Cross relate to my life purpose?

Your Incarnation Cross reflects the core theme of your life path, illuminating how you’re naturally designed to serve the world. It’s not something you force. It’s something you embody as you align more deeply with your Human Design Type and Strategy.

What’s the difference between a Left Angle Cross and a Right Angle Cross?

Left Angle Crosses involve karmic or transpersonal themes—they're about impacting others. Right Angle Crosses reflect a more personal path, often centered on individual growth. Left Angle individuals are here for connection, collaboration, and service to the collective.

Where can I find my Incarnation Cross in my Human Design chart?

Your Incarnation Cross is typically found in the keynotes of your BodyGraph chart. It’s calculated from the top two black/burgundy numbers (conscious gates) and the top two red/tan numbers (unconscious gates). Together, these four gates define your Cross.

Why is the conscious sun gate energy so significant in my Incarnation Cross?

Your conscious sun gate is the most influential energy in your chart—it sets the tone for your entire Incarnation Cross. It offers deep insight into your core identity and the unique way you’re meant to express your gifts and influence the world.

Are Left Angle Crosses spiritual or religious in nature?

No. While the language may sound spiritual, Incarnation Crosses are not religious. They’re based on the geometry of the Human Design mandala and are intended to provide insight into purpose, not doctrine.

What does it mean to be “transpersonal” in Human Design?

Being transpersonal means your life is meant to intersect with others in meaningful ways. You’re not here to walk a solo path—you’re here to guide, teach, catalyze, or mirror transformation through relationships, leadership, and presence.

How many Left Angle Crosses are there in Human Design?

There are 256 Left Angle Crosses, each with a unique theme and expression. They represent a wide range of life purposes, from healing and leadership to innovation, creativity, and community-building.

Can I live my Incarnation Cross if I’m not aligned with my Design Type?

Not effectively. Your Incarnation Cross can’t fully activate until you’re living in alignment with your Type and Strategy. These foundational aspects are the doorway to expressing your Cross with clarity, ease, and impact.

How can I work with my Left Angle Cross more deeply?

Start by exploring the gates that form your Cross, especially your conscious sun gate. Reflect on your lived experiences, and observe how your life already mirrors your Cross’s theme. Journaling, Human Design coaching, and intentional self-awareness are powerful tools for deepening your alignment.
