You get a job offer and everyone around you has an opinion. “Take it at once, chances like this do not wait!” You meet someone and your friends have already decided that you must make the first move. You have an idea of your own and from every side comes that favourite advice, “Just act.” Except that the very same advice can lead one person straight to the right place and another to yet another “Why did I get into this at all?”
Human Design starts from the idea that we are not made to take decisions in the same way. For one person it is natural to respond when the opportunity appears in front of them. Another needs to be recognised and invited. A third needs to give the decision time instead of answering while the phone is still in their hand. And that is the interesting part — not whether you are brave, decisive or disciplined enough, but whether the way you act is yours at all.
The chart is calculated from the date, time and place of birth, using two moments — the birth itself and a moment roughly three months earlier, when the Sun stood 88 degrees before its position at birth. From these calculations your bodygraph is created, with its nine centres, its gates and the connections between them.
From it come the four things you can most easily check in your own life. The type shows how your energy works. The strategy — how, according to Human Design, it is natural for you to enter opportunities and situations. The inner authority — which of your own inner signals to attend to when you decide. The profile — the role through which you experience the world and your relationships, without anyone having asked you beforehand whether that role suits you.
And then the chart starts to look less like a coloured diagram and more like your life. Why one “yes”, said in ten seconds, then cost you six months of wondering how to get out of it. Why another time everyone urged you to hurry, you waited, and by the next day you already knew the answer. Why someone near you can move first and everything opens up, while you do the same and it feels like pushing a door marked “Pull”.
The chart, the type, the strategy, the inner authority and the profile are all calculated and shown for free. What you pay for is the reading — when you are no longer reading a general description of your type, into which millions of people have to fit, but looking at your own combination and how it shows up in decisions, work, relationships and those moments when you ask yourself, “Why did I do exactly that again?”
The chart is free for anyone signed in to the game. A question to the chart costs 3.33 €, “The Two of You” 6.66 €, and the full reading 11.11 €. The Seer receives one question a month, and the Initiate two questions, “The Two of You” once a month and a full reading once every three months.
The data comes from the Celestial Teacher. Change it there and the chart here is recalculated by itself.
The chart needs a date, time and place of birth. Enter them once in the Celestial Teacher and every room will use them — there the place is chosen from a list and the time zone is taken exactly.
Human Design is a system for self-knowledge, not medicine and not science. It does not predict events and it does not replace a doctor, a psychologist or your own judgement. The most useful part of it is the strategy: try it for a month and see what changes. If nothing changes, it is not for you.
