Human
Design
The human design combines the old mystical teachings (astrology, I-Ging, chakra teachings, kebbalah the tree of life) and modern science (physics, genetics, biochemistry). With the dates of birth, the planetary positions are determined by astrological calculation and transferred to the Human Design Rave Mandala.
This mandala is the instruction manual for the body and personality, which in depth is unique to each human being. In addition, the system shows in a very practical way the duality in this world that also prevails in us. We are spiritual beings in the form of a body and this is how we experience our world.
Human
Design
In Human Design, you will first receive theoretical knowledge about yourself with your reading. The task is not only to understand this knowledge mentally, but to make inner wisdom out of it and to live according to your very own mechanics. Certain things in us just happen without us having much influence over them and these are our unconscious mechanics. There are also conscious ones that we can perceive much more easily. In addition, there are the conditioning from the outside, which often determine our lives.
Foremost, it is important to live according to your own type & strategy, profile and authority. Integrating these 3 aspects in everyday life is an important key to more ease, joy and fulfillment in life. Many people are depressed or even think they are a mistake! They just don’t know how they work. They often don’t know what their own abilities are and have an idea of their life that doesn’t represent their design. Learn through Human Design how you really work and start living your unique life.

Profile
The 12 different profiles show the basic way someone goes through life.
The human design always forms a synthesis of all elements and so the profile affects the whole chart, which should be viewed in detail for precise statements.
The profile also determines the angle:
Right angle means a basic inward orientation. In Human Design, these profiles are referred to as personal.
Left angle ‘ means a basic outward orientation. In Human Design, these profiles are referred to as transpersonal.
The juxtaposition right in between means a special straightness. In Human Design, these profiles are called fixed.
Profile 1/3 - Researcher/Martyr
About 15% of humanity
The personality researcher gets to the bottom of things to lay a solid foundation and use the knowledge to become an authority. The martyr is on the physical side and often gets these people into things that are “questionable” for others. Sayings like “Only you can do that” and that’s a good thing and also important.
Profile 1/4 - Researcher/Opportunist
About 2% of humanity
The personality researcher gets to the bottom of things to lay a solid foundation and use the knowledge to become an authority. The opportunist on the physical level draws people outside to other people to make friends and build up a network. From the network comes the opportunities for these people and therefore a large network offers more opportunities.
Profile 4/1 - Opportunist/Researcher
About 2% of humanity
This profile is the connecting point between the profiles with personal destiny and those with transpersonal karma. These are people who have a fixed way of going through life like a train on a track and it is important for them to stay on track. On the personal side, you are the opportunist who makes friends and builds a network to get good opportunities from them. The researcher at the physical level must fathom things in order to gain security in life.
Profile 2/4 - Hermit/Opportunist
About 15% of humanity
The hermit in personality is more withdrawn and needs to be called out. In addition, he is also a natural talent, which he often doesn’t realize himself, but the others and so the most diverse things are projected onto him. The opportunist on the physical level draws the recluse outside to make friends and network. He pulls out the right opportunities for himself from the network.
Profile 5/1 - Heretic/Researcher
About 15% of humanity
The heretic “must” go out into the world and connect with other people in order to heresy and trigger mutation with this heresy. A solid foundation and research is needed for this change, otherwise the heresy will not be taken first and the reputation will be gone.
The 5th line “must” go out into the world and is there for others. The researcher on the physical plane always withdraws these persons.
Profile 5/2 - Heretic/Hermit
About 2% of humanity
The heretic on the personal side and the recluse on the physical side are both projecting lines and so that person is projected onto very often. Be it a statement or if the person withdraws into their hermitage, it can cause those around them to project onto them and see it as heresy. The body often demands retreat here.
Profile 2/5 - Hermit/Heretic
About 2% of humanity
The hermit on the personal side and the heretic on the physical side are both projecting lines, and so that person is projected onto very often. Be it a statement or if the person withdraws into their hermitage, it can cause those around them to project onto them and see it as heresy. The profile can be used to consciously perceive when the feeling of wanting to withdraw arises.
Profile 3/5 - Researcher/Heretic
About 15% of humanity
The martyr in personality wants to try things out and learns from mistakes. He stumbles into all sorts of situations and the heretical body often triggers outrage. Both lines are mutative lines and thus have the potential to shake things up, to question things and to initiate further development.
Profile 6/2 - Role Model/Hermit
About 15% of humanity
The role model goes through 3 phases of life. Until 30 they live the life of a martyr with trial and error. From 30 to 50 is the 2nd phase where they retire. You become an observer of what is happening and reflect on what you have experienced. At 50 they come back into the world as role models once they have done their homework during the retreat. The body pulls people into retreat again and again, especially during the 2nd phase of life.
Profile 6/3 - Role Model/Discoverer
About 2% of humanity
The role model goes through 3 phases of life. Until 30 they live the life of a martyr with trial and error. From 30 to 50 is the 2nd phase where they retire. You become an observer of what is happening and reflect on what you have experienced. At 50 they come back into the world as role models once they have done their homework during the retreat. It is particularly important for 6/3 that in the first 30 years there is a 3/3 and that means chaos and action in life. They crash into everything that is possible. So it’s a matter of taking precautions.
Profile 3/6 - Explorer/Role Role Model
About 2% of humanity
The role model goes through 3 phases of life. Until 30 they live the life of a martyr with trial and error. From 30 to 50 is the 2nd phase in which they withdraw. You become an observer of what is happening and reflect on what you have experienced. At 50 they come back into the world as role models once they have done their homework during the retreat. It is particularly important for 6/3 that in the first 30 years there is a 3/3 and that means chaos and action in life. They crash into everything that is possible. So it’s a matter of taking precautions. Your body doesn’t have the protection of one 3rd line, so these people have to take extra care of their bodies in the first 30 years.
Profile 4/6 - Opportunist/role model
About 15% of humanity
The role model goes through 3 phases of life. Until 30 they live the life of a martyr with trial and error. From 30 to 50 is the 2nd phase where they retire. You become an observer of what is happening and reflect on what you have experienced. At 50 they come back into the world as role models once they have done their homework during the retreat. The body will learn a lot here through trial and error in the first 30 years and take good care of yourself. The opportunist on the personal side will make friends and network to gain opportunities.
The definition
If 2 or more centers are continuously connected to each other in the body diagram, one speaks of a “definition”. Multiple definitions can arise in the graphic by areas that are not fully connected. Each definition area is referred to in Human Design as a being or soul, which can act independently of each other. Separate definitions want to be completed by other people.
Simple definition
approx. 41%
These people feel whole inside because they don’t have a split inside them. You don’t need other people to feel “whole” like others with a split.
Triple definition
approx. 11%
These people have “three souls in one breast,” so to speak. That means three life forces in itself, which act independently of each other. You need many people around you, but you don’t need the other as much as the double split. These people blossom when only 2 definition areas are connected by other people.
No definition
approx. 1%
These people have no defined centers and are therefore reflectors. Their definitions depend on the lunar cycle and other people.
Dual definition
approx. 46%
These people have “two souls in one breast,” so to speak. That means two life forces within themselves, which act independently of each other and long for completion. It is important here not to become dependent on other people.
Fourfold definition
approx. 1%
These people have, so to speak, “four souls in one breast” and are very rare. For these people, it is important to be clear about their uniqueness and to accept and learn to love their sometimes inner chaos. Only 1-2 centers can be open and this is where great caution should be exercised as this is where the greatest potential for conditioning exists.
The 4 types
In human design, humanity is divided into 4 types, with each person being unique and not all generators are created equal. Type and strategy are the first important points in life and show a basic pattern of a person’s behavior. The more you live your type, the less resistance you will have in life.
Manifestor
Recognizable: A motor is connected to the throat and the sacral is open
Strategy: Can act on its own
About 9% of humanity are Manifestors and it is important for them not to be limited. They do what they want out of themselves and that’s a good thing, but they should let others know. Otherwise, they reap a lot of resistance in life.
Projector
Recognizable: Sacral open and no engine connected to the throat
Strategy: wait for the invitation
About 22% of humanity are projectors and their job in the world is to direct the energy of the generators. The invitation is important for them, otherwise they experience bitterness because they are not recognized.
Generator
Recognizable: The sacral center is defined
Strategy: Waiting and responding to life
About 68% of humanity are generators and these people are in the world to generate life. What is important for them is to wait for life and then to use their extensive energy for a project. Once the engine is started, it is like a locomotive and cannot be stopped.
Reflector
Recognizable: All centers are white and undefined
Strategy: Wait for one lunar cycle
About 1% of humanity are Reflectors and their job in the world is to feel things and see how it feels. They are the barometer of society and can learn a lot through the many open centers and are potentially very wise. The lunar cycle is crucial.
The Centers
The centers of the Human Design System go back to the old Indian chakra teachings. Functions are assigned to each center, which can either be fixed in the construction plan or which are “open”, i.e. not fixed. Which centers are defined or open and how they are connected to each other can be seen in Human Design, among other things, the four different basic types.
Root Center (9)
This is the area of a personality that represents stress and adrenaline. It is one of the 4 body motors. This shows whether and on what level someone is open and receptive to stress or what existential forces drive them constantly.
Sacral Center (8)
This is the area of a personality that represents physical strength and sexuality. It is one of the 4 body motors. This shows whether and at what level someone has consistent physical strength at their disposal. This center is activated in about 70% of people, and this determines the type of generator.
Solar Plexus Center (7)
This is the area of a personality that represents emotions and feelings. It is one of the 4 body motors. This shows whether and on what level someone is open and receptive to the emotions of other people or what kind of emotions are constantly running through them.
Heart Center (6)
This is the area of a personality that represents willpower. It is one of the 4 body motors. This shows whether and at what level someone has consistent willpower.
Spleen Center (5)
This is the area of a personality that represents instinctive and intuitive perception. This shows whether and at what level someone has reliable and spontaneous intuition and how the basic functioning of their immune system works.
G Center (4)
This is the area of a personality that represents identity, direction, and love. This shows whether and on what level someone is open to different directions in their life or whether they reliably carry one or more specific themes of direction and love within themselves.
Throat Center (3)
This is the area of a personality that represents speech, manifestation, and action. This shows whether and on which of the many levels someone can speak and/or act. The diverse connection options to the other centers play a particularly important role here and are also partly linked to the type.
Ajna Center (2)
This is the part of a personality that represents intellectual perception, our mind. This shows whether and at what level someone is open and receptive to intellectual information or whether they consistently think in a certain way.
Head Center (1)
This is the area of a personality that stands for mental stimulation and inspiration. This shows whether and at what level someone is open to suggestions from outside or whether someone always processes suggestions in a very specific way.
The Human Design body graphic – the rave chart
The body graphic (rave chart) is the visual essence of the Human Design system. It summarizes all the information of Human Design in the form of a graphic, intuitively understandable synthesis.
The Rave Chart is a clear and simple representation of human structure. Each point on the graph has a fixed function in relation to the rest of the body. The networked information becomes visible like in a circuit diagram and thus provides deep insights into our inner control circuits.
Each rave chart includes:
Centers, gates and channels
The connections between the centers are called channels and a defined (colored) connection arises when the two gates of a channel are defined. When a channel is defined, the centers connected by the channel are defined.
Inner authority
Inner authority is a mechanism in every human being that leads to reliable and authentic decisions. However, the type and strategy should be considered.
In a reading you will learn more about your authority. Here is an overview with all possible inner authorities.
Authority in the solar plexus center
You are an emotional person and should definitely give yourself time to make a decision.
Authority in the Sacral Center
Your gut feeling tells you what you should or should not use your body energy for.
Authority in the spleen center
Your body awareness tells you in the current moment what to do or not to do.
Authority in the ego center
You make your decisions from the will, which comes from the body and not from the mind.
Authority in the G center
Listen to what your Self is saying in a conversation. That gives you the decision like a breath that whispers.
Outside authority
External authority is when none of the above centers are defined for internal authority. For people with an outside authority, it is necessary to wait at least 28 days before a decision should be made.
The Incarnation Cross
The incarnation cross is formed by the conscious and unconscious sun/earth axis and shows a cross in the mandala that is not exactly at 90 degrees to each other. It reflects with the other components of the chart each person’s meaning and purpose in life.
