The Incarnation Crosses

Your Incarnation Cross is the theme of your life purpose. It's built from four gates — your Personality Sun and Earth and your Design Sun and Earth — and its angle comes from your profile: Right Angle (personal destiny), Left Angle (transpersonal karma) or the rare Juxtaposition (fixed fate).

The three angles

Right Angle Cross (1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/6, 4/6): Your life points toward personal destiny — your path unfolds mainly through your own experience, choices, and initiative, not through fitting into other people's plans.
Left Angle Cross (5/1, 5/2, 6/2, 6/3): Your life points toward transpersonal destiny — the people who cross your path matter enormously, because your fulfillment and theirs are genuinely tied together, sometimes without either of you noticing it clearly.
Juxtaposition Cross (4/1): Your life runs along a fixed, narrow, tightly defined track.

Juxtaposition crosses belong to the 4/1 profile only and follow a single Sun gate each, so each one is described on its gate's page.
