Incarnation Cross 101:
The Foundations of Your Life Path

Your Incarnation Cross represents the overarching theme or storyline that your life naturally follows.

Think of it as the essential life purpose or energy flow that keeps showing up in everything you do.

Right Angle Crosses (Personal Destiny)

Right Angle Crosses (profiles 1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/6, 4/6, 64% of the population) typically have “personal destiny” themes. These life themes often focus on individual self-discovery and personal growth. You’ll notice you learn through your own direct experiences and interactions.

Left Angle Crosses (Transpersonal Karma)
