Discover what the incarnation cross is in Human Design, and what information it can provide as you navigate life.
What is An Incarnation Cross?
In the Human Design system, we tend to learn about various components roughly in the following order:
The incarnation cross can literally be seen on a complete Human Design mandala.
As you navigate your Human Design journey and have a foundational understanding of each of these abstract concepts, you may be ready to learn about the incarnation cross.
The incarnation cross, also known as your gene keys genius activation sequence, is not visible on a basic Human Design chart. However, it can literally be seen as a cross on a complete mandala, where the personality sun / earth and design sun / earth lines cross.
The incarnation cross is said not to be destiny, so much as a role or function we each naturally shift into and come to inhabit when living correctly to our fullest expression, or working towards doing so.
Your incarnation cross tends to fully emerge around the age of 38 – 42. As you discover a clear focus and direction for your life, so your purpose becomes apparent, providing clarity and insight from a Human Design perspective.
What is My Incarnation Cross?
In Human Design, incarnation crosses are not navigation tools, but can instead be described as an individual’s life theme.
This incarnation cross theme represents an individual’s life purpose.
We are all imprinted or ‘incarnated’ with an energetic blueprint at the time of birth, and the positions of the planets at that precise moment dictates the life path we will ultimately follow.
This incarnation cross theme represents an individual’s life purpose when correctly following their type’s strategy and authority for reliable inner guidance.
“Our Incarnation Cross isn’t something that automatically emerges as we go through our deconditioning process, nor does it provide instant gratification…when we function as our differentiated self in the world, our cross literally but quite naturally takes over our life…we don’t awaken to our cross, we awaken in it.”

How Do I Know What My Incarnation Cross Is?
There are three different geometries in Human Design incarnation crosses:
- Right angle crosses
- Left angle crosses
- Juxtaposition crosses
There are 64 gates, and during the course of a year the sun moves through them all.
With each of the above variations, that equates to 192 basic incarnation crosses.
It can be tricky to determine your specific incarnation cross variation.
Each right angle cross appears once in each quarter of the year – four times in total, making four variations of each right angle cross.
Each left angle cross appears once in the first two quarters of the year, and once in the second two quarters of the year, making two variations of each left angle cross.
Juxtaposition crosses appear once each year and have only a single variation.
With so many considerations, it can be tricky to determine your specific incarnation cross variation. Let’s take a look at how you can find yours…
How to Find Incarnation Cross in Human Design
An incarnation cross Human Design calculator to find your own incarnation cross; for ease it’s already written on most free Human Design reports. But if you don’t see it, you can easily locate it yourself using the information from your own chart and unique design.
Here’s how to discover your incarnation cross using the information on your body graph:
To determine your incarnation cross, you will need your unconscious design and conscious personality sun and earth gate numbers. These numbers also represent your unique Gene Keys for each of the four spheres of your life (more on this later).
These are the gates of your incarnation cross.
These are the top two numbers in the red and black columns on your chart; the red numbers related to the physical body and the black column related to the mind and personality.
Each of these numbers are divided with a decimal point, indicating an individual gate number and a line of the hexagram, respectively. These gate numbers determine your incarnation cross and can be used to find its name (the number after the decimal relates to your Human Design profile).
At the bottom of this post you will find a breakdown of each of the various incarnation crosses.
- First, take your personality sun symbol. This is at the top of the personality line of black numbers on the righthand side of your chart.
- At the bottom of this post you will find a breakdown of each of the various incarnation crosses, ordered by angle and quarter, with each section ordered by gate number. Look down the list to find the gate number of your personality sun from step one. This can be located in the second column of each section.
- Once you’ve located your personality sun, you’ll want to check you’re looking in the correct section by checking that the other numbers in that row match those of your conscious and unconscious sun and earth gates from your chart.
The exact combination will only appear in one place within the below index and will determine your incarnation cross and variation.
