Human Design Variable – a note from Karen Curry Parker
Karen Curry Parker doesn’t teach variables. Variables speak to motivation and drive, themes that are interwoven into the entirety of the chart. To truly understand your motivation and drive, you need to understand the interplay between all the parts of your chart, not just the variables.
It’s too easy to want to codify and label parts of the chart, such as the variables, without looking at the synthesis of all of the parts of the chart and the entire story that the chart reveals. When we grossly simplify this process by only looking at one element to tell us “everything” about important aspects of life – such as motivation and drive – we miss the main point of the chart.
Your chart does not reveal what you are, but HOW you are. In addition, every element in the chart represents a potential with a shadow side and a high side. We’re not a “this” or a “that”. We are living possibilities that are responsive to life in every single moment of our existence. It’s up to us to consciously choose how we’re going to respond and how to de-condition ourselves to increase our capacity to make great choices.
In addition, motivation and drive go beyond the chart. Sometimes the things that drive us are love, compassion, purpose, and mission and these core human drivers can push us to transcend the drivers in the chart. The chart is a tool that explains how we run, but it doesn’t always explain what we are driven to run towards.
What Is A Human Design Variable?
Nothing in Human Design is a rule to follow or even a rule to break. From your type to your profile to your incarnation cross – Human Design gives us tools to use as we go about our lives. The Human Design Variable is considered another tool for growth in Traditional Human Design. Variables point to our awareness and our life experiences.
Your Human Design Variable guides you on how you are designed to absorb, process, and learn information which leads to how your perspectives are shaped. Variables can be helpful in understanding your not-self and how to best decondition from societal expectations. See this video about deconditioning.
Your Human Design Variable guides you to the true nature of your awareness. They show where you are decisive, attentive, and vibrant by nature, and where open, peripheral, and tolerant. Essential aspects of your variable include the best environments and nutritional guidelines for your unique design.
How Is Your Human Design Variable Determined?
The positions of your Sun, Earth, and North and South Nodes of the Moon at the time of your birth are used to determine your Variable.
Underneath the hexagram lines, at a different layer of the BodyGraph, are where your Human Design Variables are created. Three values known as Color, Tone, and Base are present in this additional layer. “Tone is the inner frequency of the neutrino’s movement through your Personality and Design crystals, and this inner architecture of what we call the crystals of consciousness is what determines your Variable.” Tone reflects elements of your physical and emotional makeup.
Why Is It Important To Understand Your Human Design Variable?
Each of the five aura frequencies that make up humans creates a unique outlook on life. Your Quantum Human Design type is one of these auras: Manifestor (Initiator), Generator (Alchemist), Manifesting Generator (Time Bender), Projector (Orchestrator), and Reflector (Calibrator).
We can live with less resistance if we know our type, and our type also forms the basis of our Inner Authority. Each of us is divided into one of the 16 Variable families by the four variables, which emphasize the traits of our awareness patterns and the evolution of our consciousness.
The four variables are areas in which each person can influence and transform. These areas show us the ideal way for you to function, as well as how to take in information and become aware of your environment.
It is possible to find variables deep within your genetic code. When you live in accordance with your design, you have the capacity to express the characteristics of your Type (peace, satisfaction, success, surprise), as well as to fully express your personality when you are doing what is best for you.
Each arrow in Human Design stands for a particular aspect of your life journey, and its orientation indicates the nature of your unique energy. Since energy is complex, it cannot accurately be categorized as either good or bad or masculine or feminine. Energy does not live by our social connotations but simply exists as what it is.
For the purpose of discovering how your variables can be beneficial, we will break down energies into left-arrow energies and right-arrow energies.
Left arrow energies:
Active
Logical
Analytical
Competitive
Neutral/Objective
Goal Oriented
Critical
Compelling
Right arrow energies:
Passive
Open
Intuitive
Team Oriented
Subjective
Patient
Moral/Ethic
Just
Most people will have a combination of left and right-facing arrows in their design, but there are some who will have all left or all right-facing. If you have all arrows facing one direction your Human Design Variables are known as quad-left or quad-rights.
How Can I Find My Human Design Variable?
You can find your Human Design Variables on your BodyGraph near the Ajna and Head Centers. These arrows will be colored in either red or black, based on your profile lines in your chart.

Left-facing Arrows
Think of left-facing arrows as pointing to the traditional view of left-brain thinking, or masculine energies. Structured, logical, or precise.
Right-facing Arrows
The right-facing arrows are the traditional view of the right brain or feminine energies: emotional, open, or fluid.
The Top Left Arrow: Digestion
Left Facing vs. Right Facing Digestion Arrows
Left-facing Digestion Variable Arrow
You benefit from having structure and consistency in your everyday routines. When you have a regular schedule and know what to expect ahead of time, you flourish and feel more empowered to face the day. You’re also someone who probably has no problem eating the same thing repeatedly. Lean into developing routines and timetables for yourself; this is beneficial for you. You can also take in and assimilate a great deal of information.
Right-facing Digestion Variable Arrow
You don’t need to follow a set, predictable pattern or timetable. You can mix things up every day and make room for greater flexibility in your schedule so that you can approach things with a more flexible mindset. You enjoy experimenting with your food, so feel free to try a variety of things. Take your time when learning and taking things in so that you may properly absorb them. You absorb knowledge in a broader, more generalized manner.
The Bottom Left Arrow: Environment
Left-Facing vs. Right-Facing Environment Arrows
Left-facing Environment Variable Arrow
You perform best in a predictable setting. You probably enjoy going to the same places each day to sleep, eat, and work. When you visit a new place, you need some time to get comfortable with your surroundings and truly get to know them before going on to something else. Enjoy the consistency of going to the same places and sticking to what works because this is probably how you will feel the most comfortable.
Right-facing Environment Variable Arrow
You like having options for where you spend your time and variation. It’s beneficial for you to travel and spend time in various settings, changing where you work and how you conduct yourself on a daily basis. While maintaining discipline in your daily plans and routines, try not to be overly strict about it. Allow yourself some freedom and movement, and explore various settings and activities to see what appeals to you.
The Top Right Arrow: Awareness
Left Facing vs. Right Facing Awareness Arrows
Left-facing Awareness Variable Arrow
What works best for you is to pay attention to details, nuances, and getting granular with how you process information. You should fully immerse yourself in the information since this will help you remember it better and make it easier for you to recollect and explain it to others. You learn best by paying attention to what is right in front of you and keeping your head down.
Right-facing Awareness Variable Arrow
You normally view things in a “big-picture” way. You want to zoom out and take everything in at once, and you approach learning in a way that is more fluid and free-flowing, without needing to be overly rigid or detailed with how you process knowledge. You have a talent for recognizing overarching patterns and connecting ideas in a way that no one else can. Give up on the more conventional educational approaches and study things in a way that allows you to interpret and make sense of them.
The Bottom Right Arrow: Manifestation And Perspective
Left Facing vs. Right Facing Manifestation And Perspective Arrows
Left-facing Perspective Variable Arrow
Your speciality is creating thorough plans and establishing clear goals. Release any guilt or criticism you may feel for being detailed and very clear about what you want in life. You get your ideas by writing them down and outlining your aims and dreams, therefore don’t be shy about putting your intention into the Universe in this manner. You’ll probably benefit from incorporating strategy, using company planning, and defining precise goals.
Right-facing Perspective Variable Arrow
You don’t place as much emphasis on the specifics of your objectives or ambitions. It’s better for you to concentrate on the emotions associated with obtaining or receiving those goals. In your career, how do you want to feel? Home? regular life? It’s okay to just have a rough notion of what you want; there’s no need to create a specific strategy or roadmap outlining how you’ll get there. Just having a general sense of what you want is sufficient.
Implementing Variables In Your Life
You have the opportunity to stand out from other people because of your distinctive Human Design. Humans exhibit our intelligence in a very particular way because of how we are made and when we live in accordance with our design. The term “cognition” in human design refers to this specific cognitive capability.
Tone serves as the cornerstone for how our minds are organized. Your unique method of knowing through perception, experience, reasoning, and understanding is called cognition. It is the result of how you experience things. Every living creature is designed to engage in cognitive processes such as learning, remembering, and using information in order to preserve survival. This is the fundamental tenet of how human evolution operates.
Our unique cognitive potential is released through the power of following your type and strategy. Understanding your variables can help you decide how to approach choices and make the choices that will lead to the greatest life possible. It takes a strong commitment to live your design as you travel down your life path.
Your variables profoundly impact thought processes and are fantastic instruments for altering your consciousness. Additionally, they may provide you with signals and supports as to how you can operate at your very best.
