Human Design – The New Astrology
“Well, that is because I am an Aries” might be replaced soon with “Well, that is because I am a Generator.” We love astrology, Myers-Briggs, enneagrams, learning styles, or anything that helps give insight into why we are the way we are. Human Design and astrology are similar in the fact that they use birth time.
Human Design dives so much deeper into who we are and gives us a map of how to live in flow with our design. It is not to say that one system is better than the other. Using both systems will allow you to live your most authentic and joyous life.
The Key Differences Between Astrology And Human Design
Your astrological birth chart and your Human Design chart are both composed of the placement of the planets at the exact moment of your birth.
Astrology uses a wheelhouse natal chart, often called a birth chart, and Human Design uses a body graph chart.
Human Design is more specific in the way it teaches us to operate in our day-to-day life. Your type teaches you: how to approach opportunities, how to rest and recharge our minds and bodies, and how to make decisions. Astrology can enlighten us to our past, present, and potential futures.
In Astrology, planets occupy different positions in different houses. There are twelve houses in the natal chart and each house has a unique meaning. The position of each planet, and in which house it resides, affects your chart.
Human Design also looks at the positions of plants at the moment of your birth as well as the planetary positions calculated about three months before your birth. The planetary positions 3 months before your birth determine the unconscious frequencies of your personality and incarnation cross.
Where Human Design Goes Beyond Astrology
Human Design gives a much deeper view into how we move about the world. A principle of Human Design is rooted in Neutrinos. Without getting too complicated, Neutrinos are microscopic particles that emit information.
In 2015, physicists Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery of neutrino oscillations. Their research proved that Neutrinos have mass; information which was first brought to worldly consciousness by Ra Uru Hu in 1991 when he published his first work on Human Design.
The reason an accurate birth time is needed for your Human Design chart is, when we are born planetary information is imprinted onto us by these Neutrino particles. This imprint is reflected in your chart and gives us the information we need to learn about ourselves and how to achieve our greatest purpose.
Your Human Design Chart
Human Design exists to help you recognize your unique gifts and personal traits so that you can move through the universe as the person you are designed to be. Your Human Design chart illuminates your strengths and guides you on how to handle your weaknesses.
Human beings are innately social beings. We are all subject to sociocultural conditioning. We are all taught explicitly, and implicitly, how to think, act, speak, define success, and so much more.
These social rules lead us to feel inadequate and broken because we can’t ever seem to do it right. Human Design teaches us that each energy type has a different way of creating and making decisions.
We all have unlimited potential for wealth, health, good relationships, and happiness. It’s just that we are each uniquely designed, and therefore our definitions of wealth, health, good relationships, and happiness will be different for each of us. Your Human Design chart will be your most trusted guide because it shows you how to energetically approach your life.
How To Get Your Free Human Design Chart
In Astrology, you only need to know your date of birth to know your Zodiac sign. Human Design is called, by some, the new Astrology. In order to start your journey with Human Design you will need a bit of information: date of birth, time of birth, and the city, state, and country where you were born.
Go to https://freehumandesignchart.com/ to get your free Human Design chart. Human Design charts have three basic parts: the body graph, the birth chart, and the keynotes.
At the bottom of your chart, you will see a section called Keynotes, which is a short summary of the most important parts of your chart. The keynotes tell you:
- your type and your unique decision-making strategy,
- your authority—whether you are spontaneous or whether you need time to make good choices—and
- your emotional theme—which emotion you may find most challenging in your life. (Rest assured, if you live true to who you really are, you dramatically improve your experience of your emotional theme.)
Remember that each part is a piece of a whole. While we have to take the chart apart in order to understand all of its key pieces, the real beauty of the chart is in the synthesis of all its parts. The true story of who you are is revealed when all of the pieces come together.
Understanding Energy Types
Astrology is inextricably linked to Human Design. If you can grasp the archetypes of the 12 Zodiac signs, you will be able to grasp the Human Design energy type. Just like the Zodiac, your Type is not a predestination. Your Energy type is how you interact with the world around you. Every type has a specific spiritual purpose and strategy. Refer to the keynotes section of your chart for your type.
Manifestor / Initator
Spiritual Purpose: Translate Divine Inspiration into action.
Quantum Purpose: To initiate people into the frequency of transformation and creativity through direct access to the Quantum Pulse.
Emotional Theme: Anger.
Manifestors are here to get things started. They have unique bursts of intense energy that are followed by equally intense periods of rest. Manifestors’ intensity is felt by everyone around them and inspires change in the lives of those they come in contact with.
Generator / Alchemist
Spiritual Purpose: Turn inspiration into form.
Quantum Purpose: To physically manifest creativity and express through devotion.
Emotional Theme: Frustration
At 35% of the population, Generators are here to get stuff done. Generators are here to respond to the needs of the world and their seemingly endless energy is perfect for making real change.
Manifesting Generator / Time Bender
Spiritual Purpose: Turn inspiration into form.
Quantum Purpose: To physically manifest creativity and speed up the quantum process and linear time.
Emotional Theme: Frustration and Anger
If Generators are here to get stuff done, Manifesting Generators are here to get a little bit of everything done. Generators tend to be focused in one area while Manifesting Generators are good at a little bit of everything. They are trailblazers and inspirational to those around them.
Projector / Orchestrator
Spiritual Purpose: Here to anchor the energetic template of what we are here to create, to align the energy of the world and heal the planet’s energy.
Quantum Purpose: To hold the energy template of what’s to come and clear the vibration of the collective consciousness.
Emotional Theme: Bitterness.
At 20% of the population, Projectors are here to guide the world. Projectors have a unique and intense gift of being able to truly see those around them and offer meaningful advice.
Reflector / Calibrator
Spiritual Purpose: To be the barometer of the alignment of humanity with Heart. Quantum Purpose: To mirror to others the Human condition and Human potential. Emotional Theme: Disappointment.
Representing less than 1 per cent of the population, the Reflector is the rarest of the Human Design types. The Reflector is a truly unique, unusually sensitive person who must be in the right place with the right people to experience true happiness.
Understanding Authority Types
Authority is your way of knowing when an opportunity is right for you. Some call this intuition, or gut feeling, but it is much more complex. There are seven types of authority and they go hand-in-hand with your energy type.
Actualizing Authority (Splenic Authority)
Actualizing Authority means you are designed to know, in the moment, what feels right to you (or not). Having Actualizing Authority means that you can be spontaneous with your decisions. You don’t need time to contemplate or sit with decisions. You will know what is true for you immediately.
Generated Authority (Sacral Authority)
Generated authority means that you have a defined Sacral Center and that there are no additional energies influencing your Sacral. Your Sacral is the only decision-making center in your chart, and your Sacral response in the moment is the correct authority for you at any given point in time.
Creative Authority (Emotional Authority)
You are not designed to be spontaneous when you have Creative Authority. You need time to make decisions and learning to wait for clarity is essential to help you avoid experiencing disappointment in your life’s choices.
Creative Authority can influence the way the Strategy for your Type works. The Strategy for your Type is still essential, but if you have Creative Authority, you have to check in with your Strategy and sense how you feel over time.
Orchestrated Authority (Self-Projected Authority)
Only Projectors have self-projected authority. Self-projected authority comes from a channel connecting the Identity Center to the Throat Center with no other overriding energies defined in the chart, such as the Solar Plexus or the Spleen.
Self-projected authority means that you have to “see” your decisions reflected or projected through others to get clarity. In order to really know what is correct for you, you need to have a circle of close friends who you can talk to about your choices. You need to hear yourself talking to others and see their response to know whether something is correct for you or not.
Mental Projected Authority
Mental projected authority is also only experienced by Projectors with a defined Ajna to the Throat Center and no other overriding energies. Mental projected authority, just like self-projected authority, means that you have to talk to other people to get clarity about which invitations are right for you.
Resource Authority (Ego Authority)
Resource Authority means you have a defined Resource Center, and you don’t have Creative Authority. Because the Resource Center is about having sustainable energy and resources (or not!), if you have Resource Authority, you won’t decide to do something unless you have the energy or the resources. It also can signal whether a choice is aligned with integrity or not.
How Understanding Your Human Design Can Take You Beyond Astrology
You can never have too much information so using Human Design and Astrology helps you live your life with ease. This road to understanding doesn’t have a destination, and you will continue to learn (and relearn) about your place in this world. Remember, there is no suffering in Human Design, only opportunity.
