Human Design offers the most specific and detailed map of your characteristics. When you’re getting started, it’s helpful to understand where and how to begin. There is so much information, even in the most basic bodygraph and report, that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or lost.
The bodygraph illustrates how the various celestial elements have created fixedness in your design. It also tells you where you’re not fixed and therefore have access to those energies in a more fluid and intermittent way. It’s natural to assume that the parts that are colored in are good and that the openness of the white areas is where you’re lacking.
In fact, both the colored in and white spaces tell you valuable information about your strengths and how to align with them.
The energy of each gate, channel, and center will be influenced by which celestial element creates the activation. This blend of powerful cosmic energies and the intimate activations of your chart create a complex tapestry of who and how you’re here to be. Beginning to understand the story these activations tell is the beginning of living as your aligned self.
Sing Your Song
Another way to think about your bodygraph and design is beautifully expressed in this quote by one of the early teachers of Human Design.
Your Human Design chart is the sheet music of the song you’re here to sing in this lifetime.
Randy Richmond
Like any song, the more aligned you are with the harmonies and rhythms of the music, the stronger your voice and the more powerful your expression.
One Note At A Time
Your Human Design Chart & Report contains a lot of information. Give yourself permission to explore it over time at a pace that’s right for you. Notice if you feel pressure to “get it right” or “figure it all out.”
Start with your Type, Strategy, and Authority. Then, learn about your Conscious Sun and Earth activations. They tell you a lot about why you chose to come here and what you’re meant to do, have, and be in this lifetime. Notice what and who in your life pulls you away from this and how you feel about it. Practice using your Strategy and Authority whenever this happens.
Aligning with your design gives you access to strengths you may not even yet be able to imagine.
