In the quest for self-discovery, Human Design emerges as a captivating system that marries the principles of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the Chakras. At its essence, it provides a blueprint of our innate psychology and detailed strategies and tactics for making decisions that align with our true nature.
The birth information—date, time, and place—is the key to unlocking this personal chart, known as a bodygraph. Human Design fuels an authentic journey of self-discovery by offering insights into our personality and natural tendencies.
The Human Design system categorizes individuals into four distinct types: Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors, with Reflectors being the rarest. Each type has a unique role and strategy for navigating life, which, when understood and applied, can lead to greater fulfillment and purpose.
The bodygraph further details Centers, Gates, and Channels, which influence various aspects of one’s being, from how we process emotions to how we interact with the world around us.
Understanding your Human Design type is like having a manual for your life. It can explain why certain challenges recur, guide you toward leveraging your strengths, and help you comprehend your interactions with others. Such knowledge is indispensable in personal growth as it fosters self-acceptance and helps tailor personal development strategies to fit your true design. Embracing your unique constitution can liberate you from societal expectations, allowing your authenticity to flourish.
Embarking on the journey of self-discovery through Human Design begins with obtaining your personal chart. This can be done effortlessly by accessing reputable resources online. One such resource is the International Human Design School (IHDS), which offers a free chart creation service on their website at ihdschool.com/get-your-chart. The process is straightforward: navigate to the site, agree to the privacy policy, and proceed to fill out a simple form with your birth details. Once submitted, the system calculates your unique Human Design Chart.
To generate an accurate Human Design Chart, specific personal information is crucial. You will need to provide your birth date, time, and place. These details are used to calculate your BodyGraph, a visual representation of your genetic design. It’s essential to ensure that the birth time is as precise as possible, as it directly influences the calculation of your chart. For those unsure of their exact birth time, checking birth certificates or consulting family records may prove helpful.
Having a personalized Human Design Chart is akin to receiving a manual for your life. It offers profound insights into your personality, decision-making process, and the unique way your energy flows. Reflectors, for instance, who are the rarest type in the Human Design system, can discover their capacity for reflection and wisdom through their charts. Every individual stands to gain from understanding their Design type, paving the way to living authentically and harnessing one’s innate strengths. Moreover, this awareness can lead to improved interactions with others and a more harmonious life overall.
The journey into comprehending your Human Design Chart begins with recognizing its purpose as a mirror to your inner workings. This chart, akin to an astrological natal chart, uses your birth information to map out your unique energetic blueprint. As you gaze upon this chart, known as the BodyGraph, you’ll uncover layers of personality traits, inherent tendencies, and the nature of your aura.
But how do you make sense of this complex schematic? Each shape, line, and number carries significance: The shapes, known as Centers, represent various aspects of your being, such as inspiration or willpower. Lines, called Channels, connect these Centers, indicating potential paths for your energy to flow. The numbers sprinkled throughout are Gates, pinpointing specific energies influencing your life. Finally, your Profile sheds light on the overarching roles that define your interactions with the world around you.
Deciphering your Human Design Chart is akin to understanding a language where each symbol has a distinct meaning. The Centers, which can be either colored (defined) or white (undefined), clue you into areas of strength or potential vulnerability. For instance, a defined Throat Center suggests a natural ability for communication, while an undefined one may indicate a propensity to absorb others’ ways of expression.
Gates are the numbered elements within your Centers, deeply influencing your personality and experiences. Channels act as highways, merging the energies of two Gates to create a unique aspect of your persona. Lastly, Profiles such as 4/6 Projector offer nuanced insights into your role in society, combining two lines with individual characteristics that color your interactions and growth.

The journey through our personal Human Design Chart can lead us to intriguing territories, especially when we begin to explore the realm of consciousness research and calibrations. This concept might sound esoteric at first, but it’s grounded in the idea that we can measure and understand the levels of consciousness within anything and everything that ever was and is, including ourselves. But what exactly does this mean within the framework of Human Design?
Consciousness research is a relatively new and pioneering way to look at the “energy” of anything. Is the “energy” of something you are considering or holding in mind positively oriented, upward-pulling and constructive (higher consciousness) or downward -pullling, negatively oriented, and destructive (lower consciousness)?
Consciousness calibrations can reveal to you the truth and power of anything that every existed (in history) or does presently exist.
Fortunately personality tying systems like Human Design can be calibrated as to their level of consciousness (this would be a good time for you to download my podcast above and listen in on this subject).
Many may consider the notion of the Human Design system or astrology a woo-woo new agey thing, when in fact it is NOT the same “energy” as new agey stuff! According to ConsciousnessCalibrations.com, Human Design calibrates at a high-level of consciousness of 465, or 10 to the 465th power) based on Dr. David R. Hawkins Map of Consciousness.
This is significant, and worthy of your time and consideration, especially if you are spiritually oriented as it holds “higher spiritual” truth in consciousness as opposed to an astrology report, which can calibrate from 200-400 on the Map, depending on the content.
Based on my understanding of consciousness I think you will discover your “soul purpose” in your Human design report. Soul purpose, to me, is not as black and white and linear as we may like it to be…
One method of measuring consciousness, as mentioned in online resources like ConsciousnessCalibrations.com, involves muscle testing or applied kinesiology, which correlates with Dr. David R. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness®. Through such techniques, individuals can explore calibrations, potentially identifying their position on the scale of consciousness and examining how this influences their life experiences and interactions.
In practice, this means that someone who finds themselves calibrating at a level associated with love, for example, may notice that their interactions with others are characterized by this emotion. Conversely, recognizing a calibration at a level associated with anger could prompt a deeper exploration of underlying issues and facilitate personal transformation.
It’s important to note that while these tools provide a compelling framework for introspection, they should be approached with an open mind and not as definitive judgments of one’s character or potential.
This brief 19-page overview introduces you to your design and describes your Type, Strategy, Authority, Defined and Undefined Centers, and Profile. This introduction to your design starts you on your path to self-discovery.

The story behind the Human Design System (HDS) is as intriguing as the system itself. The birth of this esoteric knowledge occurred through a remarkable journey, led by an equally remarkable individual, Ra Uru Hu. Born Alan Robert Krakower, he adopted the mystifying name “Ra Uru Hu” after what he described as a transformative encounter with a higher intelligence. This profound experience would lay the foundation for a new approach to self-discovery that has since traveled across continents, impacting countless individuals and communities.
Before becoming the messenger of HDS, Ra Uru Hu led a life far removed from the world of esoteric knowledge. His early years in Montreal, Canada, saw him immersed in the arts and business, where creativity and pragmatism intertwined. However, it was an extraordinary mystical experience in January 1987 that redirected his life’s trajectory. For eight days and nights, Ra was enveloped in an intense communion with a mysterious “Voice,” which imparted the extensive information that now constitutes the Human Design System.
Following his experience, Ra dedicated himself to decoding and teaching the messages he received. In 1992, he published ‘The Human Design System’ under his newfound name, opening the doors to a methodology that combined astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and Vedic philosophy. It wasn’t long before Human Design began to resonate with individuals seeking a unique path to understanding themselves and their interactions with the world. Its popularity burgeoned as it provided a comprehensive map that claimed to guide people towards self-awareness and personal growth.
The impact of Human Design has been both deep and wide-ranging. As a tool for introspection, it has given many a novel perspective on their personalities and life choices, aligning them with their innate nature.
On a communal level, Human Design has fostered connections among like-minded seekers, birthing a network of practitioners and enthusiasts who share and expand upon Ra’s teachings. The system’s reach has been global, touching lives from North America to Europe and beyond, as individuals integrate these insights into their daily lives, seeking to live in alignment with their design.
As a teacher of consciousness I like to share the truth about higher consciousness. When you intend to align with your higher purpose, you become a ripple of higher consciousness. you can’t help but lift and inspire others vis the invisible energy field in consciousness that you emit and share with others.
In our exploration of Human Design, we’ve covered a vast landscape—from the basics of understanding your unique chart to the profound depths of consciousness revealed in the calibration of the Human Design System. Let’s recap the key takeaways from this journey of self-discovery.
Understanding your Human Design chart can be likened to having a roadmap for navigating the complexities of your personality and life choices. The chart, or bodygraph, is more than a static image; it’s a dynamic blueprint of your energetic aura and natural tendencies that offers insights into who you are at your core. Remember, the rarest of Human Design types, the Reflectors, have their own unique wisdom, reflecting the beauty of their capacity for deep understanding of others.
Creating your personal chart necessitates specific birth information—your date, time, and place of birth—which unlocks the intricate details of your dominant chakras and how they influence your life.
