What is a Human Design Reading?
There are several kinds of Human Design Reading, each focused on a specific area of your life. It is good to start with a Basic Human Design Reading before choosing to do an advanced reading.

Understanding Your Chart
Your Human Design chart is a blueprint for your authentic self. Science is now catching up with what many of us as healers, coaches, intuitives and astrologers have been doing for years.
We now know that the meaning we give our life impacts our DNA, our health, our life choices, our longevity, and more…
Healing – or “aligning” as I like to call it (because I don’t think anything about you is broken) – is a 3-step process that usually involves redefining the story of your life.
Why is This Information Important?
To create an authentic life you’ve got to do three things:
1 You’ve got to understand the story you’re living right now (and where that story came from).
2 You’ve got to know who you are ‘not’ so that you can better know who you truly are.
3 You’ve got to take back control over crafting your own life story and start living THAT story as quickly as possible.
Understanding your unique energy blueprint, your Human Design, is a great way to begin the journey of creating a life that is aligned with your authentic self.
The more alignment you have, the more meaningful and rich your life becomes.
The Parts of the Chart
Human Design is a synthesis of Eastern and Western Astrology, the Chinese I’Ching, the Hindu Chakra System, Judaic Kabbalah, and Quantum Physics. Even though the chart contains elements from all of these ancient sciences, the wisdom of Human Design is in its synthesis of all of these different parts.

Human Design is not a predictive or forecasting tool. It’s a complementary system that helps you discover how you activate your personal destiny.
Every element in the chart represents an archetype. An archetype is simply a part or role you play in the story of your life.
Your Human Design chart is a collection of roles you are designed to explore and live in your life. You always have the choice and the power to live out the highest potential of your personal story. Knowing your chart will help you discover a path to fulfilling your story.
How your personal chart is configured tells you a lot about who you are and the archetypes you are designed to explore and express in this life.
But You’re More Than a Chart
Remember that your Human Design Chart does not label – you’re a this, so you can’t do that….’
When you enter any situation with your energy aligned, it will work for you.
Also, be aware that the Human Design Chart is a tool. Not everything that’s happening with us is in the chart. We have our lived experience, our family dynamics, and our ancestral energies – these all affect our lives and they are not necessarily seen in the chart.
While there are tendencies within the Archetypes in the Human Design Chart, there are no predictions for things like certain health issues, whether you are abundant or not, or how much energy you have!
What Happens in a Human Design Reading
Generally, your Human Design Specialist will run your Human Design Chart. To do that, they need your birth information – date, time, and place of birth.
If you don’t know your time of birth, speak to your Specialist as there is a way that we can work that out for you.
Human Design Readings can be carried out face-to-face, on the phone, or via Zoom – it depends on how individual Specialists choose to work. You can look at their profile for that information – or ask them.
There are many types of Human Design Reading, so let’s explore them so you’ll know what each of them can help you with.
Types of Human Design Readings
A Basic Human Design Reading
A basic Human Design Reading helps you better learn to read your Human Design Chart and covers your Human Design Type (Your main Character), Strategy, and Authority (how you make decisions)
In a basic Human Design Reading, you’re going to learn how your personal energy works in the world.
You’ll discover your best way to make decisions, how you can tap into your right work, live your life purpose, create healthy relationships that honor who you are, how to activate greater vitality and well-being, and what you can do TODAY to start living a truly meaningful life.
“Thank you so much for introducing me to Human Design. Learning about the design of my life and my family’s lives was one of the best investments of time and money that I have ever made. I am now a more confident, informed businesswoman, as well as a better parent. For years I have lived the life that I was “programmed” to live by society. Now I live the life that God intended.”

Your Human Design Reading will also reveal to you the unique role your character plays called your Profile. (Your profile looks like a “fraction” at the bottom of your chart.) Different Profiles have different roles. (Did you know that some of us are designed to “make mistakes” and that getting things “wrong” is crucial to helping us learn how to get it right?)
A basic Human Design Reading also helps you discover how you process energy.
As you learn to read your Human Design Chart you will learn that there are nine energy Centers in Human Design. Each Center is responsible for processing different kinds of energy.
In traditional Human Design, you learn that Open Centers (the ones that are white on your chart) are where you are “conditioned”, meaning that you take in energy from others in those Centers. Understanding this is vital because it is in the Open Centers in your chart where it is easy to have your own energy “hijacked” or for you to become confused about what you are experiencing from others and who you really are in the mix of the energy you’re feeling.
Your Definition in your chart is the energy that belongs to you and that you have consistent access to. It represents the archetypes that are a key part of your Life Story and that you are most likely to explore and experience in this lifetime.
Everything that is on your Human Design chart represents an archetypal energy that you can express in an infinite number of ways. I like to think of the expression of each element in your chart as operating on a “spectrum” or a sliding scale.
Once you understand your Definition from your Human Design Reading, you gain more control over where on the “spectrum” you want to choose to express yourself and how you can start living out the highest expression of your potential and your Authentic Self.
When you understand your energy, it helps you break old patterns and truly live an authentic, fulfilling life as your magnificent self.
A Human Design Reading will help you understand all of your Energy Centers and your unique configuration.

Why Human Design Readings online are better than in-person readings
The beauty of online readings is that you have a wide choice of Specialists from all over the world. They offer different languages and specialisms that might suit you better.
It’s easier to record the session – especially the shared screen that shows your chart when the reading is done online.
However, if there is a Specialist that is local to you – in-person readings are just as powerful.
