What is Human Design?

Human Design is a system which essentially creates energetic snap shots of the energy and location of the planets in the solar system at 2 significant points in a person’s birth – Our conscious/mind being captured at the date, time and location of our birth, (like a traditional Astrological Natal Chart) with the unconscious/body capture reflecting this energy 88 degrees (roughly 3 months) before birth.
Comparisons to Astrology are inevitable, given the birth data influence – and the influence and energy of the planets and archetypes on the surface, has ‘influential cross over’, influence and harmonic approaches of modalities, including the Chakra System, the iChing, astrology like such as the signs of the zodiac, planetary attributes & the transits (ongoing movement of the planets,) as well as integrating other systems like the I Ching and the chakra system thus shaping a broader and deeper framework, setting Human Design apart from traditional astrology alone.

In the same way that using our Birth Time & Location to cast our Birth Charts, in Astrology,

Human Design uses a person’s birth information to create a ‘bodygraph’  like a natal chart.

The BodyGraph is a graphic illustration of the energetic flow within your system, a blueprint for how you operate and interact with the world.

The Personality/Conscious side on the right of the charts in black is specifically reflective of our Natal Chart with positions of the planets at the time of birth mirroring this side of our design.

spiritual concepts and symbols remain central to the Human Design system.

The mandala is intrinsic in the Human Design chart (illustrated above), serving as a visual representation of the system. The inner wheel of the mandala represents the 12 signs of the western zodiac while the outer wheel represents the 64 hexagrams of the iChing,  the archetypal energies which are related to our genetic code (the 64 codons of our DNA responsible for encoding amino acids.)

The connections between the 64 gates and 64 codons as well as  have fuelled discussions and theories about the potential scientific basis of Human Design.

At the centre of the mandala is the Bodygraph, a map of the human body made up of nine centres, 36 channels and 64 gates.

Human Design’s portrayal of personality types, centres, channels, and gates aligns with some psychological theories, including Jungian psychology

It was developed in the 1980s by Ra Uru Hu, the founder of the system, and, validated by scientific findings suggest and support the energetic / neutrino connection - though official validation through a scientific lens is almost certainly unlikely to be prioritised!.

For example, in 2015, scientists discovered the neutrino, a special, infinitesimal particle and a key underpinning of the science of Human Design, actually has mass. Trillions of neutrinos pass — or flow — through every square inch of the planet and every living thing on it every second.

This can also be viewed as a stream of information imprinted on us at birth and which connects us to the planets and celestial bodies that are the source of the neutrino streams.

It is the imprint made by the neutrino stream that makes each of us unique because it manifests differently in each person. It is this uniqueness that is captured in a Human Design chart in order to receive knowledge about who we are and our conditioning.

All the while, spiritual concepts and symbols remain central to the Human Design system.

The mandala is intrinsic in the Human Design chart (illustrated above), serving as a visual representation of the system. The inner wheel of the mandala represents the 12 signs of the western zodiac while the outer wheel represents the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching, the archetypal energies which are related to our genetic code (the 64 codons of our DNA).

At the centre of the mandala is the Bodygraph, a map of the human body made up of nine centres, 36 channels and 64 gates.

The primary criticism of Human Design lies in the lack of empirical scientific evidence supporting its claims.
The connections to genetics, physics, and other scientific principles remain theoretical rather than experimentally verified.

In late 2019 I stumbled upon Human Design discovering, even superficially, the insights clear and undeniable.

As I more intentionally began to ‘learn’ about my design,  I was able to recognise myself, my people and our experiences deeply within the context of Human Design, I couldn’t un-see it.



‘People-ing by Design’ solidified within my professional space having emerged naturally through experimenting with my research in real-life. Broadening my knowledge and education, deepening my understanding, experience, and observations - whilst leaning into my design, actively deconditioning snf accepting a non-traditional rhythm as a 1/3 Projector; Organically a foundation for secure and affirming ‘Whole-Human Peopleing’ took shape - the impact is profound.

By integrating human design understanding, a secure and personal approach to our People-ing is possible.
Parent the whole-person - with awareness.
Choose whole-person Relationships.
Elevate communication, let go of the ‘shoulds’ - start speaking in a language which recognises the human cost - energetic exchange, strengths, values and needs in an open and expansive way.

Honor the whole-human - the impact is profound.

With Your Human Design, Your People & Possibility in focus - what can it do for you?
