Incarnation Crosses and Wrapping Up
I love Incarnation Crosses in Human Design. When clients ask me what their “purpose is in life” this is where I point them. It won’t tell you that you are supposed to open a metaphysical shop or run for public office. But it will tell you what is most influential and powerful about you. I get so excited about this part of your chart! There are SO MANY possibilities out there - over 760, with 112 different thematic names. They are made up of the 4 top gifts in your design - so lots of room for unique information about you. I see it as a platform to do your life’s work.
The crosses have very formal names such as The Right Angle Cross of Defiance 1 (2/1| 49/4) (this is mine. I will use it as an example later). The right or left angle or juxtaposition theme in the title refers to how you are meant to use your gift - does this gift require other people (left) or is it an inward journey (right). A juxtaposition theme is fixed and does not have any variations (the number “1” in Right Angel Cross of Defiance 1 is a variation).
The numbers that follow the title give you the list of gates or gifts that are most prominent. So, my most prominent gifts can be found at gates 2, 1, 49, and 5. I swear it gets simpler after this! I realize this is a bit more technical than the others, but I will share the takeaway in a moment. Those gifts are: 1. Creating New Things, 2. A Vision for Turning Ideas into Reality, 49. Altruism, and 4. A Logical Mind.
These gifts combine to create a person who is here to march to the beat of her own drum - to not do things the normal way, and instead show us a new, better way of doing them. And if that doesn’t describe me as a human being, I don’t know what what else would. I cannot follow the group even when I want to, and I desperately wanted to in my teens and 20s. It just never went well. I never got it right.
I can play a drinking game to the number of times certain people will tell me “Mindy, you’re so funny. You’re supposed to do it this way.” Or “You are supposed to that.” No, I am not. I am supposed to do things differently and I will tell you from very awkward experiences - this makes a lot of people very uncomfortable and angry. I come from a family that values everyone being the same. And I just couldn’t ever figure out how to fit in like that, as hard as I tried.
So, my journey is very inward. I don’t require any interactions with people to do things differently. It’s just my natural way. I also don’t have to teach anyone anything. They just need to observe me being Me.
I’ll give you another example of an outward focused cross: Left Angle Cross of The Plan 2 (6/36 | 15/10). These combination of gifts create a person who is here to show people how to marry the earthly and spiritual existences successfully. They are meant to be masters of the material world, to deeply understand how the world works and to help others master it too. They are here to learn from other people and to teach them.
This is a very high level view of these crosses. I just get so excited about them I couldn’t end this series without sharing them. This is where you really start to understand what is so special and important about you.
Well, now we have come to the end of my Human Design series. There is still so much to know when it comes to Human Design and I don’t even know about all of it! What I focus on in my practice is how much even the basics will improve your life and the lives of your family and friends, when you understand how we are all designed to be. If you would like to dive deeper into your own chart this is the last week I am offering the Lite Human Design Reports to subscribers for $35. I only offer these a few times a year and this may be the last time this year that I offer them. Please make sure you reach out if you would like your own report. They are roughly 8 or 9 pages of information just about you. The information and insight in the reports are different than what I have shared here. I didn’t merely copy and paste the report sections into these posts - did new research and learned new things. They also cover information I didn’t share here like your emotional body, digestion and dominant sense. These are also what I consider the basics and are very helpful to know.
I hope you have enjoyed this series. I would love to hear from you about what you learned, what you liked and what you didn’t like. Please send me a message or an email. Let’s talk about it!
