Learn how you’re designed to move through life.

Human Design is a self-discovery and reflection framework that was introduced in 1987 by Ra Uru Hu. It combines elements of Western astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, and ideas from modern physics into a single chart called the BodyGraph. The chart is calculated from your exact birth date, time, and location, and points to themes around how your energy operates, how you make sound decisions, how you communicate, where you tend to take in and amplify outside influence, and where you have natural, consistent strengths. It is offered as a self-experiment, something to test in your own life, not as a fixed identity, prediction, or label.

You need three things: your birth date, your birth time (as exact as you can find it), and your birth city. Your birth location is used to determine the correct latitude, longitude, and historical time zone so the planetary positions for your chart can be calculated accurately. Birth time matters most for your Profile, your Authority, and any Gates that sit near the Sun and Earth positions; even a 20–30 minute shift can change parts of the chart. If you only have a rough time, you can still get a useful starting report and refine it later.

Start with the closest estimate you can find. A birth certificate, hospital record, or baby book is more reliable than family memory, which is often off by an hour or more. If those are not available, run the report with your best guess and treat it as a working draft. Type and Authority are usually stable across most of a day, but Profile, Definition, and any Gates near a transition can shift with the time. A coaching session can walk you through which elements of your chart feel accurate to what you observe and which may be worth verifying through birth-time rectification.

No. Human Design is not a medical diagnosis, a psychological assessment, or a peer-reviewed scientific framework. It is a symbolic system drawn from spiritual and esoteric traditions, and the claims it makes about energy, Centers, and Authority have not been validated by clinical research. We treat it the way you might treat any reflective tool (journaling prompts, personality frameworks, archetypes): take what is useful, test it in your life, and set aside what is not. It is not a substitute for professional medical, mental health, legal, or financial advice, and it should never be used to make safety-critical decisions.

There are five Types: Generator (roughly 37% of people), Manifesting Generator (roughly 33%), Projector (roughly 20%), Manifestor (roughly 9%), and Reflector (roughly 1%). Your Type is determined by which Centers in your chart are Defined (consistently active) and how energy flows between them. Type is the first layer of the chart and gives a broad shape to how your energy interacts with the world: how you build momentum, where you tend to over-extend, and the kinds of rhythm, rest, and engagement that tend to support you. Type alone is a starting frame, not a personality label; two people of the same Type can look very different once Profile, Authority, and Definition are taken into account.

Strategy is a Type-specific experiment in how you initiate action. Generators and Manifesting Generators are described as responding, noticing what life puts in front of them and following the gut response that arises. Projectors are described as waiting for the invitation or recognition before pouring energy in. Manifestors are described as informing the people their actions will impact, then initiating. Reflectors are described as waiting a full lunar cycle (about 28 days) before locking in a major decision. Strategy is not a rule; it is a point of contrast to notice the times you are pushing from pressure, fear, urgency, or borrowed expectation versus moving with more ease.

Authority is your chart's described decision-making process, the inner signal that points to clarity for you specifically. The most common Authorities are Emotional (Solar Plexus, where clarity comes by riding a wave over time rather than deciding in the moment), Sacral (an immediate gut response, typical of Generators and many Manifesting Generators), Splenic (a quiet, in-the-moment intuitive knowing), Ego/Heart, Self-Projected (clarity through speaking and hearing yourself out loud), Mental/Outer (for certain Projectors, with clarity coming through environment and trusted sounding boards), and Lunar (for Reflectors, with clarity coming across a 28-day lunar cycle). Authority is meant to be experimented with, not obeyed; it helps you notice when a decision came from something grounded versus from anxiety, urgency, or outside pressure.

Your Profile is a two-number combination drawn from the lines of your conscious and unconscious Sun positions. Each of the six lines describes a way of meeting life: line 1 is a researcher seeking foundation, line 2 is a natural in their own space, line 3 learns through trial and error, line 4 builds through community and friendship, line 5 carries projections others place on them, and line 6 moves through a three-stage role-model arc across life. There are twelve Profile combinations in total (1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/6, 4/6, 4/1, 5/1, 5/2, 6/2, 6/3). Profile adds nuance to Type, pointing to how you tend to learn, how you connect with people, and how others tend to perceive you.

The BodyGraph has nine Centers: Head, Ajna, Throat, G (Identity), Heart/Will, Solar Plexus, Sacral, Spleen, and Root. Each Center is either Defined (shown in color in the chart, indicating consistent, reliable energy in that theme) or Undefined / Open (shown white, indicating energy that fluctuates and is more shaped by the people and environments around you). Defined Centers are where you tend to be steady and where others often feel your influence. Open Centers are where you take in, amplify, and learn to recognize outside conditioning; they are not weaknesses, but they are the places where it is easiest to mistake other people's energy for your own.

Your free report includes your Type, Strategy, Authority, Profile, a snapshot of your Defined and Undefined Centers, plain-language explanations of each, a short set of reflection prompts to help you notice these themes in daily life, and one 7-day experiment to begin testing your Strategy and Authority in small, low-stakes ways. It is designed to give a clear, usable starting point, not to overwhelm you with every Gate, Channel, and Incarnation Cross at once.

The advanced report covers the layers the free report only summarizes. It walks through each of your Centers in context, your Channels and the specific Gates that activate them, your Profile lines in everyday terms, your Definition (single, split, triple-split, or quadruple-split) and what that suggests about how you process connection and information, common conditioning patterns to watch for in your Open Centers, and practical prompts for relationships, work, rest, communication, and decision-making.

A report gives you information. Coaching helps you interpret it in context. A live session lets you bring real decisions, relationships, and patterns to the chart and ask focused questions: for example, why a certain kind of work consistently drains you, why you keep waiting for permission you do not actually need, or how your Open Centers might be shaping who you become around specific people. Coaching is also where birth-time uncertainty, conflicting interpretations, and the gap between a written report and what you are actually noticing can be worked through together.

It can be a useful reflection lens for communication styles, energy management, decision-making pace, work rhythm, rest, and the kinds of environments that tend to support you. It is not designed to predict compatibility, justify limiting someone else, or pre-decide whether a job, partner, or path is "right" for you. Treat it as a way to ask better questions and notice patterns you may already feel, not as a verdict on people or possibilities.

No. Human Design coaching is not therapy, counseling, psychiatric care, diagnosis, or treatment. It is a self-reflection and integration practice. If you are working through trauma, mental health concerns, grief, addiction, or any concern about your safety, please work with a licensed professional. Coaching can sit alongside that work, but it is not a substitute for it.

Your birth details (date, time, and location) and your email are used to generate your chart, deliver your report, and support checkout and booking if you upgrade or book a session. We treat them as personal information, do not sell them, and do not share them with third parties beyond the services needed to calculate your chart, send your email, and process payments. If you would like your data corrected or deleted, contact us and we will remove it. See our full privacy policy for specifics on what is stored, how long it is kept, and which processors are involved.

Your free report is generated automatically and emailed within a few minutes of submitting the form. If you do not see it after 10–15 minutes, check your spam or promotions folder and make sure the email address you entered is correct. If it still has not arrived, reach out and we will resend it.

No. Human Design draws on several spiritual and symbolic traditions (astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system), but it is not a religion and does not require any belief, faith, or affiliation. You do not need to accept a metaphysical worldview to use the report. Many people approach it the same way they approach a personality framework or a journaling prompt: as a structured way to notice patterns in their own life and decide what to test, keep, or set aside.
