Welcome to your personal dashboard for:
You’re about to embark on a journey that will exponentially help you to untangle yourself from limiting patterns and behaviors that may have confounded you over a lifetime and help you discover that they are a cosmic-once-in-a-lifetime-event that is deeply purposeful, truly beautiful and perfectly you!
Human Design brings together principles of Astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the Chakra system & Quantum Physics to create a distinctive system that acknowledges and celebrates the uniqueness in each human – no two charts are alike. Human Design is a beautiful tool for self-awareness. We have all experienced conditioning and expectations from the world around us and it causes us pain when we are not being our true selves. Learning about the Human Design Types is the first step to acceptance. It is about accepting yourself – but also having compassion and acceptance for others.
By being here you have embarked on a journey of self discovery.
We are spiritual beings born into physical bodies to roam, explore, experience and learn as we walk this Earth. Human Design is a tool to bring awareness to how this body, your body is wired to express itself. We are all unique configurations and from those configurations comes unique expression. It is important to understand this human vehicle our spirit rides in, for it was designed with attributes and gifts to help you on your journey. The founder of Human Design, Ra Uru Hu ,often talked about us as passengers riding in the vehicle. Our spirit or soul is the passenger and our design tells us about the vehicle we ride in.
Within your personalized dashboard, you will get to understand key components of your design so you can reach a higher degree of awareness of how you are naturally designed to express yourself.
This Personal Short Report is a basic taster of what can be known about oneself via one’s unique energetic blueprint through mechanics of the The Human Design System.
The main benefit of Human Design is that it helps you live in alignment with your genetic and psychological makeup. Although this approach is quite intricate, my method — called “Unique Energetic Blueprinting” — aims to deliver its advantages using as little technical jargon as possible. Since the Human Design System contains many layers and can become quite complex (and sometimes confusing), Unique Energetic Blueprinting intentionally highlights the aspects that are most impactful. This isn't to disregard the other elements, but to help you focus on the areas that will make the greatest difference. If you wish to explore further, the foundation provided will effectively support your deeper journey.
Your Human Design chart is a natal chart of your unique pattern at birth. This does not change throughout your life. It is a blueprint of ‘who you are’, uniquely different from everyone else.
In this report, your Human Design chart is used like a map that I refer to as I introduce you to the components of your Design and a brief explanation how they manifest in your life.
The motivation for you to enter into experimenting with the practical application of this information, I trust will automatically follow, as you find recognition of yourself in the descriptions you read in this brief report.
Understanding how others affect you personally through the white areas of your chart will provide you with an on-going reference point for you to resist acting upon unhealthy influences that can pull you away from living you life as yourself.
The basic principles in the Centers Section, will enable you to clearly understand who among your friends, family and associates affect and condition you and how. In this way, you will have useful information to help you interact with them successfully.
This is a free short report, if you like what you read then I suggest you get a more detailed "coaching - business-specific" report - the Energetic Blueprint Business Map
Those who wish to go further and have a one-to-one with me in an Energetic Business Blueprint Deep Dive will journey deep into their nature and applying it to their coaching business.
I wish you well on your personal journey.
My best to you,
Johnnie
Human Design is known as the ‘Mechanics of the Maya’, ‘The Science of Differentiation’ and ‘The Science of Awakening’. It is a synthesis of genetic information and ancient wisdoms including the I’Ching, Astrology and the Kabbalah.
It enables one to accurately differentiate oneself from everyone else and is a gateway to self- knowledge at an incredibly deep level. This Core Report covers the essential information necessary to begin a process that can be life transforming. This self-knowledge contains information that can be practically applied in one’s life.
You are truly unique and have a very specific Design. There is not another person on the planet that has exactly your variation of characteristics. Even twins born a few minutes apart will have differences in the deeper layers of their unique pattern.
Your Human Design Chart, which is also called a Bodygraph, is included in the report above. Your chart is like a map that clearly shows your precise traits and propensities that genetically delineate you from others. It is on the basis of your chart that this report has been constructed. The chart is calculated from your time, date and place of birth. As astrologers have known for hundreds of years, the precise time and place of incarnation fixes a pattern that we then live out during the course of our life. If this simple fact were accepted by the world community, there would be someone with an accurate stop watch attending each birth to know the exact time the baby leaves the mother in order to have an accurate fix on the potential of the child’s life. This is not a fatalistic system. We are a mixture of nature and nurture and our life progresses according to the decisions we make in life.
We all have both conscious (Black) and unconscious (Red) aspects in us. Your chart will not change. It shows the way you are designed to operate and this report has translated what is represented in your chart into clear descriptive prose.
The simplest and broadest difference between us is Type. Just as there are four different blood types, so there are four different Types of human being. Each Type has a different aura and operates in a different way from the other Types.
Approximately 9% of the population are designed to be initiators and take actions that will impact others. Human Design advises that it is necessary that they inform those they will impact, before they take action to reduce the amount of resistance they can experience in life. Manifestors often experience anger but they really long for a peaceful life where they are free to manifest without interference. They are not designed to continually work, but to get things going and then move on to the next project or new territory.
Generators make up around 68% of the world’s population. They are designed to be the builders that get the work done. They have their own Life-Force energy source that continually regenerates. If they follow their own internal ‘response’ to do the work that is correct for them, they can lead a satisfying and productive life. Unfortunately, most do not know about the ‘response’ mechanism in them and instead lead a life of frustration by engaging in work for financial gain rather than work that satisfies them and makes their life worth living.
Projectors make up around 22% of the population. They are designed to be guides and they have the gift of being able to help others use their energy more effectively and become more successful. They can be excellent at really seeing what is going on in others. They are not designed to work consistently and need to be recognized by those who can benefit from their guidance. In order to be recognized as guides, they need to wait to be invited.
Unfortunately, most try to impose their views without waiting for the correct invitation and as a result are not appreciated. The consequence of this is a feeling of bitterness at not being seen for the benefit they can bring.
Reflectors make up around 1% of the population. They experience time in a very different way from the other Types and have a special relationship with the Moon. They need to wait out at least one full Moon Cycle (28.5 days) to make a decision that is congruent with what is consistent in their regular pattern that changes throughout the month. They can make the best judges as their aura does not become attached to what they reflect from others. By sampling others as they move through life, they can discern what’s happening in others. They long for the surprise of true originality in those who live their differentiated lives. Sadly, this is rare and so they usually experience disappointment.
There are many systems of knowledge available that can tell you true things about yourself. Human Design, as a rigorous science, can be very precise in this, but it also requires an artistic ability to translate the information so that it can be understood.
But understanding is not sufficient. Action must be taken before real change (not just a mental appreciation) can take place in your life. A map can be interesting, but unless you travel to the places it indicates, you will not experience the potential experience it can open up for you.
The journey towards living your life as a differentiated authentic person involves experimenting with your own specific Strategy and Authority provided in this report.
It may be simple to understand, but it is not so easy to apply. We are not ‘clean sheets’. The vast majority of people operate in their lives according to what they think. Their minds make the decisions that they act upon. The mind is not a reliable guide to how we should act. It collects information and measures it, creating all kinds of possible scenarios that could be lived out. But the living of something requires energy. If the energy is not available, or the emotional person is not feeling to do something, then what could be done remains just a conceptual possibility and the life doesn’t change.
Human Design points us towards our body consciousness. The energetic response, the feelings, that become clearer over time, the Splenic awareness in the moment and so on. Human Design is based on female wisdom i.e. Yin information, which is the truth that we are, at our core, receptive beings. We exist in Form. We have incarnated into a body and our consciousness is a witness. Mind, by itself, cannot even lift a paper clip, let alone change your life. The energetic nature of the material world needs to be engaged. The rules of that engagement for each of us, is based on our Strategy and Authority.
If you want your life to change, following your Strategy and Authority is Human Design’s answer. The only way for you to know if it can be a solution for you, is for you to enter into experimenting with it yourself. As Ra Uru Hu (the creator of the Human Design System) says “Try it, you’ll see that it works”.
Most of us come to Human Design heavily conditioned from our parents, families, classmates, work colleagues and involvement with the people in the world outside of ourselves.
The biggest area of difficulty comes from the areas in your chart that are white or open. The Open Centers in your Human Design chart are the clearest examples of such openness.
It is often interesting to encounter those who have Centers you do not have (and the planetary transits will also bring you a taste of those Open Centers regularly). You can become very distorted by living out your life according to the strategies inherent in these Open Centers. For instance, you may spend a great deal of your time trying to prove your worth and overcome a lack of self-esteem if you have an Open Heart Centre.
Each of us is genetically programmed to be attracted to difference and because of the Centers that are not consistently defined, you may often feel you should have whatever it is that leaves you when those people or planetary transits move away and you come back to your Openness.
As a result of this, we have a world full of people who have no authentic respect for themselves and in many cases, dislike themselves, because they are trying to live their lives through Centers that are not consistent in them. In other words, they are living the ‘Not-Self’ and are trying to live out their shadow. Of course, it can never work and misery, disappointment and unhappiness are rife. In Human Design this is called living the ‘conditioned life’. It is normal and it can be unpleasant.
In order for your authenticity (whatever is colored in or Fixed in your Human Design chart, represents what is consistently you, or your ‘True Self’) to emerge from the layers of conditioning, you need to let go of your habitual attachment to identifying with what you are not (represented by the white or Open areas in the Human Design chart).
Letting go is a slow process. As you try to follow your Strategy and Authority in your decision-making process, there can often be (especially in the early stages) an internal battle between your thoughts still arguing for control over your life. Because of your conditioning, you are vulnerable to considering the reasons and alternative possibilities that the mind can be so clever at presenting to you. The way to move beyond that is to take a risk. The risk is to follow your unique Authority, even when you don’t know the outcome. It takes a warrior’s spirit to engage in what is truly a battle for your own life. For example, a Generator following their ‘response’ to not do something that the mind considers an excellent choice, or a Projector seeing what needs to be done and not doing or saying anything until they are invited. It means really entering into the experiment in a tangible and determined way.
As you overcome your habitual conditioning, make decisions based upon your unique Authority, and begin to live according to your Type’s Strategy, each decision can lead you back towards the road that you are designed to walk. But there are layers and layers of ‘Not-Self’ conditioning and it will take time. Ra Uru Hu said it would take at least seven years to de-condition and for many people it could take even longer.
The positive side to de-conditioning is that while you are de-conditioning, you can still see the benefits of a life where you are no longer comparing yourself so much with others and where your correct decisions lead you towards a more harmonious life. Many feel much less burdened.

Your Energy Type determines the nature of your aura, which is the energetic field you project into the world. This aura dictates your characteristic way of interacting with people, attracting opportunities, and expressing your life force. Understanding your specific Energy Type is fundamental because it reveals your correct strategy for engaging with the world—how you best initiate, respond, or inform—and ultimately, how you are designed to express yourself and live your life with the least resistance and the greatest satisfaction.
If you ask someone what type they are, they will use words such as ‘introvert’, ‘extrovert’, ‘studious’, ‘flamboyant’, ‘naughty’, ‘generous’, ‘kind’ and so on. These descriptions are based upon what is experienced or heard secondhand. We try to distinguish by Race, Nationality, Color, Culture and physical predominances, so stereotypes emerge as a result.
But no one can be a pure stereotype, so the descriptions are at best partial and at worst insultingly incorrect. It’s a shame to think of people living their lives based upon the misconceptions of who and what they are. Yet, this is often the case.
Human Design is so refreshing in this sense. It uses precise language that always denotes exactly the sense we wish to convey, based on a discipline of keynoting according to a fixed structured Knowledge that defines the ‘Maya’, or illusion that most think of as the only ‘reality’.
In referencing others and ourselves, Human Design is consistent in its use of descriptive language, not limited by a single description, but open to all the descriptions within a certain framework. For instance, Type means something specific and verifiable yet just four variations can encompass the whole of Humanity in all its extremity.
‘Type’ is the broadest and in many ways, the most important distinction between human beings. Just as we have four blood types, so in Human Design we have four Types of human being.
The Two ‘Energy Types’:
• The Manifestor
• The Pure Generator (including the subset of The Manifesting Generator)
The Two ‘Non-Energy Types’:
• The Projector
• The Reflector
Human Design teaches us that everyone is unique. Many of the terms we use to describe ourselves, or one another, are based upon a selection of characteristics rather than a holistic and yet specific ‘Type’.
A mixture of genetics and aura distinguishes each Type in the Human Design System. Each Type has a different aura i.e. the electromagnetic energy field that emanates from each one of us. Its range is approximately 5 to 7.5 feet in all directions.
It is through the aura that we make non-verbal communication with each other. This is an immensely powerful and important connectivity that precedes and conditions any overt form of relating, such as talking or physically touching. Just by being in the presence of certain people, we can feel full of vitality or drained, emotionally high or upset and irritable, comfortable and secure or vulnerable and insecure and so on.
The difference in Type dictates the type of aura we each have.
Manifestor auras confront or challenge with their unexpected directness and the impenetrable nature that makes many wary of what they may do.
Generator auras emit a powerful enveloping energy that fills the other Types up with the power to do things and begs one to question the Generators about what they may want to do with all that power.
Projector auras penetrate the other Types and motivate them to notice them and invite their participation as others sense they have valuable guidance to offer.
Reflector auras sample and reflect others back to themselves in a heightened and provocative way, often creating the experience of encountering oneself without the trappings of pretension.
There is a specific Strategy for every Type that directly reflects the different aura of the Types. It is based upon the way each Type is genetically designed to operate in the world.
Your aura is the most precious thing you possess. It is the means by which you engage deeply with others and at a more intimate level than physical lovemaking, when the bodies and auras intermingle. You connect to everyone through your aura and take them in deeply as they condition you in the places where you are open and therefore more vulnerable to be conditioned.
Human Design recommends protecting your aura by not subjecting it to other auras that can be overwhelming or disruptive to it. If you go deeper into the experiential aspect of Human Design, you will become more discriminating about whom you meet and for what length of time you allow your aura to mingle with theirs. Over time you will be able to perceive where your aura ends and the other’s begins.
Your Personal Interaction Style, or Strategy, is the correct way for you to make decisions and engage with the world, particularly in your interactions with others. This style is directly linked to your Energy Type and ensures that you initiate actions only at the right energetic moment. By consistently following your Strategy—whether it involves waiting to respond, waiting for an invitation, or informing others before acting—you minimize resistance in your life. This method allows you to interact with people in a way that respects your natural energetic boundaries, brings you correct opportunities, and lets you best express your authentic self.
Your Key Indicators, often called your Signature, represent the feeling you consistently experience when you are living in alignment with your true nature and following your correct Strategy. This is your internal compass that lets you know you're "on track." Each Energy Type has a unique Signature—such as satisfaction, success, peace, or awe—and recognizing this feeling is crucial. Conversely, when you're off track and making incorrect decisions, you will experience your Not-Self Theme, like frustration, anger, or bitterness. Your Signature is the most important signpost to keep you aligned and moving toward your highest fulfillment.
Your Decision-Making Strategy, or Authority, is your internal, reliable source for making correct choices. It's the mechanism that ensures your decisions are aligned with your unique energy and nature, bypassing the often-unreliable logic of the mind. Your Authority is rooted in a specific defined center—like the Spleen (Intuition), the Emotions (Solar Plexus), or the Sacral (Life Force)—which gives you a consistent way to tap into your body's intelligence. Following this internal guidance is the most crucial step for living authentically, guaranteeing that your choices will lead to the best possible outcome for you.
Most people believe that making important decisions should be the result of thinking things through mentally, covering all the bases and coming to a realistic decision for the best possible future outcome.
Yet, most people make decisions that lead to an unsatisfying life, enslaved in work that doesn’t utilize their potential and around people who do not suit them.
Our mind is simply designed to conceptualize and measure the pros and cons of any decision. It is not capable of knowing what is correct for us. The ideas and concepts from the mind estimate the ‘best’ trajectory based on current information, past experience and what others tell us.
But the mind is useless in giving us direction, if it doesn’t have all the information and is impotent when facing an uncertain future with unknown factors. Making decisions is beyond its authority. So most people turn to others and give their authority away, preferring to be told what to do, rather than taking responsibility for themselves. There are plenty of people who are prepared to make decisions for us; those we regard as ‘authorities’ - parents, friends, governments, societies rules and the behavior patterns of the prevailing culture etc.
There is a far more reliable Authority that most of us have deep within us. Making decisions from your Inner Authority or if you don’t have an Inner Authority, making decisions based on the way you encounter your own truth, is a way of staying on the correct trajectory that fits with your unique Design.
If you are following your basic Strategy according to your Type: Responding as a Generator, Informing as a Manifestor, Waiting for the correct invitation as a Projector and waiting out a full Moon Cycle for a Reflector, you will be better prepared to make decisions that are correct for you. The precise moment to make a decision that is correct for you, depends upon your Inner Authority. For some, it is to be spontaneous by utilizing an ancient in-built Awareness, for others, time is necessary to feel into the truth for them in any given situation. There are eight different ‘Authorities’ in the Human Design System.
Read (and take note) of the text for your Authority and enter into experimenting with making decisions in this way. Each correct decision takes you closer to the life you were designed to live. Eventually it takes you to a life you love to live, one that may be very different to the life your mind would have thought would work for you.
There are nine Centers in a Human Design Chart. The Centers that are colored in your chart are described as ‘Defined’ or ‘Fixed’, which means such Centers are connected to at least one other Centre via a Channel of Life Force that is greater than the sum of the parts linking the two together. The parts are the Gates at either end of the Channels. Each Gate has its own quality and, together, when the two Gates are connected, produce a quantum of the two. See section on ‘Channels’.
In the vast majority of charts, there are Defined and Undefined (or white Centers). A Gate in a Defined Centre means that the quality associated with that Gate is consistently activated. It forms part of your consistent Life Force and is always there as part of who you are.
The Gates in the Undefined or white Centers are inconsistently activated and form part of what in Human Design is called the ‘Not-Self’. Human Design is a synthesis of both ancient wisdom and our genetic matrix. The nature of genes is to seek proliferation and diversity hence, the genetic imperative to ‘make more’ can be seen in the most powerful sexual attractions being between partners with the greatest differences. We are genetically predisposed to seek out such difference in order to create children that are a result of those differences.
Psychologically this same genetic compulsion translates into us seeking out what is not consistent in us, but is often activated due to the ‘Conditioning’ we naturally receive from being in auric contact with those that have Centers and Gates we do not have in our own Design.
This creates ‘Not-Self’ behavior, where we amplify whatever that conditioning is and attempt to emulate it as something we do have, in an attempt to overcome the sense of lack we feel when it leaves our aura when the person, who is the source of that conditioning, moves away.
So any Centers or Gates in Open or white Centers become part of a shadow side of us i.e. our ‘Not-Self’, where we try to be something we are not and cannot be consistently. In so doing, an uncomfortable frequency emanates from us, as we pretend to be different to who we actually are. Becoming aware of such propensities is a major part of the awakening process.
You can read more on the Energy Centers here.
The energy centers are key components of your personal energy blueprint, representing specific areas where life force energy is processed. There are nine such centers, each governing different themes like awareness, pressure, feelings, identity, and action. They operate like energetic organs, constantly taking in and translating information from the environment. Understanding these centers is crucial because they reveal the areas where your energy operates consistently, and the areas where you are open to conditioning from the outside world.
Your Defined Centers are those energy centers in your blueprint that have a consistent, reliable energy flow and a fixed way of operating. They represent your innate functions—the qualities and abilities you can always count on. When you ask, "What Functions Define Your Consistent Thoughts?" the answer lies in the specific Defined Centers that govern mental processes: the Head Center (Inspiration) and the Ajna Center (Mind). If these are defined for you, they dictate the reliable themes of your mental pressure and the fixed structure of how you conceptualize and process information, respectively. They are the engines behind your most consistent ways of thinking.
Your Open Centers are areas in your energy blueprint that are highly sensitive and consistently take in and amplify the energy from the outside world. Unlike your defined centers which have a fixed way of operating, your open centers act like empty vessels, absorbing and magnifying the energy of others. This openness gives you great wisdom and empathy in those areas, but it's also where you are most susceptible to conditioning, distraction, and pressure. These open centers represent your shadows and distractions—the points where you are easily pulled off track, chase behaviors that aren't authentically yours, and make decisions based on external influence rather than your own inner truth.
Your Life Work, identified by your Incarnation Cross, represents the overall theme of your purpose in the world—it is the central blueprint for why you are here and the kind of energy you are meant to contribute. Derived from the specific position of four gates in your chart, this cross dictates the energetic trajectory and primary focus of your life. While your Strategy and Authority show you how to live correctly, your Incarnation Cross describes the inherent, fundamental role your life is designed to play in the collective, giving context and meaning to your unique expression in the world.
Your Public Role, known as your Profile, is the costume you wear in the play of life — it describes the inherent way you are seen and experienced by others, and how you naturally manifest your purpose in the world. Defined by the lines of the Personality and Design Gates, your Profile is a composite of two numbers (e.g., 5/1 or 6/3) that outlines the energetic roles and archetypes you are here to embody. Understanding your Profile reveals your most comfortable and effective manner of operating in society, dictating whether you're meant to be a natural investigator, a role model, a projector of solutions, or a hermit, and is the key to accepting your fundamental nature.
Just as Astrology has twelve Sun signs, so we each live according to twelve Profiles. You can think of your Profile as a basic character pattern that frames your life. It is a constant in your life and if you accept it, you can relieve yourself of carrying the great weight of trying to be someone you’re not. Along with your Type, it is a basic trait that you’ll recognize fits you perfectly.
Your Profile gives you the basis of what your purpose is in life. It is the theme into which you have been born and it is directly related to your incarnation in this life.
Through your Profile you can understand why your life operates the way it does. It also shows you the general boundaries of what it is to be you. You cannot be any different than who you are. Through accepting your Profile and Type, you can relax into being yourself. These important aspects can be clearly discerned in your life and it can be comforting to know one’s strengths and limitations.
Your Profile combines two major aspects of you, one of which is conscious and the other unconscious. Two numbers represent these aspects and they directly relate to the six lines that make up a hexagram, as in a Chinese I Ching chop. You have a conscious Line and an unconscious Line that shapes your character.
Although this is a general description of you, (having one of twelve possibilities), it is a powerful one as it touches upon how you will behave, your basic attitude, your perspective and the way you will interact with others.
The 12 Human Design profiles are combinations of two of the six "line expressions" from the I Ching, which describe archetypal energies, how you see yourself versus how others see you, and your life lessons. The 12 profiles, also known as "roles" or "personas," range from 1/3 (Investigator/Martyr) to 6/2 (Role Model/Hermit), and they reveal the unique patterns and dynamics that shape your behavior, relationships, and interaction with the world.
The 12 profiles are formed by combining the following six line expressions:
Line 1: The Investigator: Seeking to understand and gather information.
Line 2: The Hermit: Enjoying solitude and natural talents.
Line 3: The Martyr: Experiencing life through trial and error to share discoveries.
Line 4: The Opportunist: Connecting people and sharing wisdom within their networks.
Line 5: The Heretic: Creating new norms and providing impactful solutions.
Line 6: The Role Model: Sharing wisdom gained through life's experiences.
Your profile is a two-digit number, such as 1/3 or 5/2, representing the combination of your "Conscious" (personality) and "Unconscious" (design) line energies. The first digit is your Conscious Line, and the second is your Unconscious Line.
Here's a brief overview of the 12 profiles:
1/3 (Investigator/Martyr): Focuses on gathering knowledge through study and then learning through their own experiences.
2/4 (Hermit/Opportunist): Balances a need for solitude with the desire to connect and be a resource within their network.
3/5 (Martyr/Heretic): Learns through mistakes and is often called upon to offer solutions to others.
3/6 (Martyr/Role Model): Experiences life, then moves into a phase of wisdom and mentorship.
4/1 (Opportunist/Investigator): Leverages their network and uses gathered knowledge to share insights.
4/6 (Opportunist/Role Model): Acts as a connection point for others, sharing wisdom and leading through example.
5/1 (Heretic/Investigator): The "savior" figure who offers practical, researched solutions to challenges.
5/2 (Heretic/Hermit): Offers solutions and insights, but also needs time alone to recharge.
6/2 (Role Model/Hermit): A wise leader who provides inspiration from a natural distance.
6/3 (Role Model/Martyr): A life path of learning through experience, eventually becoming a source of wisdom.
2/5 (Hermit/Heretic): A private individual with the ability to be a visionary and solve problems for others.
1/4 (Investigator/Opportunist): Deeply studies and gathers information, then uses their network to share it effectively.
Your Assimilation, or Definition, describes how your defined energy centers are connected and how you fundamentally process information. This refers to the continuous flow of energy and data within your own body's system. Your Definition reveals whether your energy is Single (all centers are connected and you process things quickly), Split (there are breaks in the connections, meaning you need time or specific people/places to bridge the gaps), Triple Split, or Quadruple Split. Understanding this is key because it dictates your pace and style for processing life, and how you take in and integrate new experiences and knowledge.
Your General Thematics, or Circuitry, reveals the underlying focus of your energy flow and the collective impact of your life. This refers to the large groups of connected channels in your chart that define your purpose in relation to the community. You are typically focused on one of three main thematic groups: Individual (focused on empowerment, mutation, and genius), Collective (focused on sharing, logic, and abstract concepts), or Tribal (focused on support, resources, and close-knit community needs). Understanding your Circuitry shows you the specific contribution you are designed to make and the type of information or energy you are here to circulate.
Your Consistent Strengths, represented by your Channels, define the continuous, dependable flow of energy between two of your defined centers. Each Channel represents a specific, reliable gift and a thematic way you operate, like a fixed current running through your life. These are the innate talents and gifts you bring to the world without conscious effort. They dictate your consistent ability to express, influence, support, or create, and they are the unique capacities that others can always rely on you to embody.
A Channel connects two Centers together enabling a communication and a flow between the two. The movement of the flow is towards manifestation in the Throat Centre, so all the Channels below the Throat Centre flow up towards it and all those above, flow down towards it.
The connection occurs through two specific Gates in the two Centers. For example the 37th Gate in the Solar Plexus Centre and 40th Gate in the Heart Centre join to make The Channel of Community. The Life Force is a quantum of the two Gates and is greater than the sum of its parts.
A Channel can be either Red or Black in your chart, or both (either fully red or fully black or a combination or red and black if it is both). If the Channel is white, then there is no Life Force and it exists as a conduit for you to be conditioned and impacted by others who have such a Life Force in them.
Where you have a fully colored Channel, you have an active Life Force within you that is consistently emanating out through your aura to anyone close to you. It is the subtle but important way we communicate with each other in a non-verbal way.
A Channel then is always a consistent part of you. Its ability to radiate out from you will change depending on the Centers involved and the way you lead your life. For instance, if someone has the 21/45, The Money Channel, the power in their voice may be weaker or stronger depending upon the amount of will power retained in the Heart Centre. The ability one may have to be focused and concentrated if the 52/9, The Channel of Concentration, is present, will depend upon whether The Root Centre energy has been exhausted or not through too much exertion of adrenal energy and so on.
Your Channels define who you are as an individuated being. They represent your gifts and your limits in this life. If you are living a life in accordance with your Strategy and Authority, then your Channels will reflect the correctness of such a life.
Please note, if you are a Reflector, then you won’t have any Channels listed. You are not here to consistently have specific Life Force Channels fixed all the time. That is not your process, though you can certainly see such consistency in others.
As you consider the brief descriptions of your Channels in this free short report, you may be able to witness their effects in your life and know that you will always be subject to such forces.
Recognizing them may cause you to relax and come to grips with both what you are capable of and what is simply not you in this life.
You can learn a great deal from others about any Life Force you don’t have in your chart. Indeed, when you meet others you are conditioned by them and learn through osmosis. This can become a wonderful source of wisdom for you. But you will not possess the innate qualities of such a Life Force.
Our internal Life Force, like anything else, can become distorted through living incorrectly as a result of following the dictates of our mind. In which case, the Channels will operate in a way that creates resistance in you life and possibly ill health eventually.
If you are operating correctly, The Channels are Life Forces that grow and evolve as you do, becoming more distinct and radiant as each year passes.
Your Traits and Qualities, represented by your Gates (or Gene Keys), are the fundamental energetic building blocks of your entire chart. Each Gate acts like a single gene, defining a specific, granular human quality, talent, or potential theme. Even when not connected into a full Channel, a single defined Gate shows a specific unique expression of a gift that is always available to you. These individual Gates illuminate the precise flavor of your personality, your instincts, your potential virtues, and your shadows, detailing the specific, minute ways your energy operates and expresses itself in the world.
Your Life Themes and Lessons, represented by the Planets in your chart, describe the specific forces and themes that continuously shape your growth, behavior, and sense of purpose. Each planet (such as Earth, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn) activates a particular Gate, coloring that Gate's energy with its unique mythological and energetic influence. These planetary placements reveal the areas of your life where you will consistently encounter lessons, challenges, opportunities for mastery, and themes related to your spiritual and material evolution. They are the driving forces that orchestrate the recurring patterns and major learning curves throughout your life journey.
The Variables, often referred to as the Four Transformations, which are represented by the four arrows located near the top of your Human Design bodygraph. Variables are considered one of the more advanced areas of the Human Design system.
Variables relate to our cognitive design and dictate how we are uniquely designed to perceive and take in the world around us. These four arrows can point either left or right, resulting in a total of 16 potential combinations.
Understanding your Variables is essential for gaining self-awareness regarding your daily business journey, affecting everything from goal setting to marketing flow and content systems.
