What You’ll Learn:

There are 5 Human Design Types

• Generators make up 37% of the population.
• Manifesting Generators make up 33% of the population.
• Projectors make up 20% of the population.
• Manifestors make up 9% of the population.
• Reflectors make up 1% of the population.

Each Type Has It’s Own Strategy

• Generators and Manifesting Generators respond.
• Projectors wait to be invited.
• Manifestors initiate.
• Reflectors sample other auras.

There Are 7 Inner Authorities

• Generators & Manifesting Generators will have either Sacral or Emotional Authority.
• Projectors will have either Splenic, Self, Mental or Ego Projected Authority.
• Manifestors will have either Sacral, Ego, or Emotional Authority.
• Reflectors have no Inner Authority. They are lunar beings who follow the cycle of the moon.

Your Inner Authority is how you’re designed to make decisions.

Centres

• There are nine centres in the Human Design body graph, each associated with specific aspects of an individual’s life.
  • If you’re familiar with the chakra system, you’ll see that they follow this pattern.

• If a centre is white it is undefined or open.
• If a centre is coloured in, it is defined.
• Defined centres are who you are here to be. They are the energy that you hold all the time.
• Undefined centres are where your lessons live. Your energy is variable here, based on who you’re with. You are here to be wise about the energies in these centres. 

Profiles

• Your profile is made up of the number after the decimal on the top two gates on both sides of your chart (your conscious and unconscious sun and earth).
• There are 12 profiles.
• Your profile is the role you play in your life. Think of it as your character in the story of your life. It’s a big part of how you show up in the world.
• You can find your profile by looking at these numbers after the decimal. The black (right) side will be listed first, followed by the red side.

Gates

• There are 64 Gates in the Human Design system. They’re taken from the i-ching and hold the same messages (more or less).
• On either side of your Human Design Chart, you’ll see a set of numbers.
• The red numbers (on the left side of your chart) represent your unconscious programming. They’re said to live in your body, where you may not be as aware of them.
• The black numbers (on the right side of your chart) represent your conscious programming. You’ll most likely identify very easily with these themes.
• Gates that have a coloured in circle around them in your chart are defined. When a gate is defined in a coloured in centre, you have access to that energy all the time.
• Gates that don’t have any colour around them are undefined. When a gate is defined in an undefined centre, you’ll access that energy when you’re with someone who has the centre or the opposite gate defined.

Astrology

• The symbols along the sides of your chart represent the planets.
• The numbers beside these symbols represent the gate that the particular planet highlighted at the time of your birth on the right side and 88 days before your birth on the left side.
• Each planet carries its’ own significance:
  • Sun – who you’re here to be.
  • Earth – what grounds you.
  • North Node – what you’re moving towards that will challenge you.
  • South Node – your natural genius.
  • Moon – what drives you.
  • Mercury – how or what you communicate.
  • Venus – your relationship themes.
  • Mars – how you do what you do – your vocation – your core wound.
  • Jupiter – your blessings.
  • Saturn – your greatest challenge.
  • Uranus – where you can expect the unexpected.
  • Neptune – your spiritual purpose.
  • Pluto – your generational patterns and imprinting.

Channels

• There are 36 Channels in the Human Design system.
• Channels are formed when 2 gates on either side meet to join 2 defined centres.
• They influence an individual’s behavior and energy.

Circuitry Types

• Each of the 36 Channels fall into 1 of these 4 circuits.
• Circuitry is the energy that is consistent in your design. It’s how you do everything you do – the background frequency or circuit board of your life. Your electrical panel if you will.
  • Individual Circuitry – a design of following your own path, regardless of anything else.
  • Integration Circuitry – a design of personal survival
  • Collective Circuitry – a design of sharing with the whole – the collective
  • Tribal Circuitry – a design of caring for the tribe.

Grab your printed chart. Next – highlight your Type, Strategy, Authority, and Profile so that you can begin to commit it to memory. Label the Centres on your own chart and notice what’s defined vs undefined. That’s it. Take a good look at it and then let it go for a while.
