88 DEGREES OF THE SUN
The Personality Crystal, or Soul, is called into the fetus at the moment that the basic structure of the brain's neocortex is complete and the vehicle is ready to begin its journey of self-consciousness in form. The time of entry is exactly 88 degrees (88 or 89 days) of the Sun's movement before birth. Pre-mature births do not alter this formula, but are an indication that the fetus' neocortex has developed more rapidly than usual. For most pregnancies, this event takes place at the end of the second trimester. During the final trimester, the Personality is able to adapt to its new vehicle. The time of birth shows us the potential of the Personality after its period of adaptation.
The Personality Crystal or what in western religious traditions is referred to as the Soul, requires an exact amount of time within the fetus before birth. It is called into the fetus at the moment that the basic structure of the brain's Neo-Cortex is complete. This is when the vehicle is ready to begin its process of self-consciousness in form.
The time of entry is exactly 88° of the Sun's movement before birth. Note that pre-mature births do not alter this formula, but are an indication that the fetus' Neo-Cortex has developed more rapidly than usual. However, for the majority, in normal pregnancies, this event takes place at the end of the second trimester. During this 88 or 89 days, the Personality is able to adapt to its new vehicle. In Human Design, the birth data shows us the potential of the Personality after its period of adaptation. And the calculation 88° of the Sun before birth gives us the exact time the Soul entered the fetus and marks the readiness of the vehicle for Self-Consciousness.
