Human Design

The symbolic system of the moment: types, authorities, centres and gates. Here you can compute your chart for free — and here we also tell you what it is and what it isn't.

What it is

A system created in 1987 by Ra Uru Hu that fuses the I Ching, astrology, kabbalah and the chakras: from your birth date, time and place it computes a 'bodygraph' with your type (Generator, Projector, Manifestor, Reflector…), your decision-making authority, your two-line profile, and your defined and open centres.

What the science says

The honest version, and it's short: none. Human Design has no empirical validation — it is a modern symbolic system, not a measuring instrument, and anyone selling it to you as science is deceiving you. That said: as a framework for introspection and a language about how you decide and spend your energy, many people find it fertile — just like the natal chart it grows out of.

How we read it

We already compute it, whole and free, in our soul path: type, strategy, authority, profile, definition, centres and incarnation cross — with analytical ephemerides (if an activation falls very close to a gate boundary, it may differ from other calculators). And clearly separated from the scientific part of the product, which is the measurement of your five traits.

USE IT FOR

For symbolic introspection: asking yourself how you decide, where your energy drains, and what happens when you force your own rhythm.

DON’T USE IT FOR

For life decisions presented as destiny, nor as a substitute for a real measurement of personality.

Want your reading in this lens?

We measure your five traits once, with a real instrument, and give you your reading in every lens — each one carrying the honest seal of how much science is behind it. Free, no sign-up.
