Human Design: your energy type
Above is your free overview. The full report explains it in depth: Type, strategy, authority, profile, the 9 centres, channels and incarnation cross in plain language, with everyday experiments.
What Human Design is
Human Design combines astrology, the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching and a chart of nine energy centres called the bodygraph. It is calculated from two moments: your birth, and a moment about three months earlier when the Sun stood 88° back in the zodiac.
The planets at these two moments activate gates. When both ends of a channel are active, the two centres it connects are defined, and the pattern of defined centres gives your type.
The five types
Generators and Manifesting Generators have steady energy and are guided by what they respond to. Projectors see others clearly and work best when they are invited. Manifestors start things and do best when they inform people first. Reflectors, the rarest type, mirror their surroundings and take time with big decisions.
Strategy, authority and profile
Your strategy describes how to meet opportunities. Your authority names the inner signal to trust when you decide: feelings over time, a gut response or a quick instinct. Your profile, such as 1/3 or 5/1, describes your role and the way you learn.
Why the birth time matters
The Moon moves quickly, so a few hours can change the gates it activates and, with them, your type or authority. Without a birth time, the calculator shows your type only if it is the same for the whole day.
