What is the Incarnation Cross in Human Design?

The Incarnation Cross is a vital component of your Human Design chart, reflecting the essence of your life's purpose. When you run your chart, you'll see various pieces of information, such as your type, authority, and definition. Among these details, you'll find the Incarnation Cross, which consists of a combination of gates influenced by the positions of the Sun and Earth at your birth.

The Incarnation Cross is categorized into three main types: Right Angle Cross, Left Angle Cross, and Juxtaposition Cross, each followed by a specific name, such as the "Cross of the Four Ways" or the "Cross of Distraction." These terms might seem confusing at first, but they are integral to understanding the path you're meant to walk in life.

How is the Incarnation Cross Calculated?

Your Incarnation Cross is derived from the top two numbers on both sides of your Human Design chart—these are the gates that represent the positions of the Sun and Earth when you were born, as well as when your soul entered your body. The Sun's placement accounts for about 70% of your personality, making it a significant influence in your design.

For example, if your conscious Sun is in Gate 60 and your conscious Earth is in Gate 56, these gates will form part of your Incarnation Cross. To gain deeper insights, you can explore the meanings of these gates and their associated line values (each gate has six lines). This exploration can help you piece together the broader narrative of your life’s purpose.

The Role of Neutrinos in Human Design

Human Design is grounded in both astrology and science, particularly in the study of neutrinos—subatomic particles that pass through everything, including our bodies. The pattern of neutrinos, influenced by the planets' positions in the solar system at the time of your birth, shapes your personality and the themes of your life.

Scientists, through experiments like those conducted at the Large Hadron Collider, have studied neutrinos extensively. In Human Design, these tiny particles play a crucial role in forming the unique blueprint that is your Incarnation Cross.

How to Begin Working with Your Incarnation Cross

Understanding your Incarnation Cross starts with studying the gates that make it up. For instance, if Gate 60 is part of your cross, you might find it associated with themes of limitation and acceptance. By delving into these gates, along with their lines and polar opposites, you can begin to piece together your life's journey and purpose.

Rather than getting lost in the broad descriptions of crosses, such as the "Cross of Distraction" or "Cross of Healing," focus on the specific gates that compose your cross. This approach allows you to understand the unique energies that drive your purpose, even if the cross’s name doesn’t immediately resonate with you.

Making the Most of Your Incarnation Cross

The Incarnation Cross represents about 70% of who you are, making it a critical element of self-understanding in Human Design. Whether you’re new to the concept or looking to deepen your knowledge, exploring your Incarnation Cross can provide profound insights into your life’s direction.
