Working with the planets in Human Design can be both a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience. Like Astrology, Human Design translates the positions of the planets in your chart into key insights like how you thinking and communicate, your values, how you learn, what motivates you, and more.  According to Human Design theory, as the neutrino stream moves from the sun and towards earth, they brush through the filters of the planets picking up subtle layers of their energy as they go. You can think of the planets like colors, as the neutrino particles touch them, they are dusted wi ..read more

As you embark on your Human Design journey, one of the first stops you are likely to make is at the centers. The centers in Human Design mirror the chakra system in they each represents an archetypal energy or field of experience (peep this post for more on the centers’ meaning). For example, the head center deals with thoughts, ideas, and information – it is also our connection to the divine and the place where information from our higher selves, the universe, source (you name it!) comes through. Getting familiar with the meanings of each center can help you recognize the multi-faceted n ..read more

I have to laugh every time I talk about the profile lines because they remind me of fractions and when I was a kid, I was truly horrible at fractions (and not much has changed in that department now). Your Human Design profile has nothing to do with fractions, in fact, but speaks to the I-Ching hexagram line expressions that show up in your Sun and Earth Placements. The Human Design chart pulls from a number of ancient systems – you can read more about that here – and the I-Ching plays a prominent role in illuminating how each archetypical energy in your chart expresses in a way that is u ..read more

Whether it’s tingles when you enter a room with weird energy, smelling when something doesn’t seem right, or being able to taste a hit – we’re more familiar with what Human Design calls “cognition” than we think. Terms that explain subtle sensory experiences are all over our vernacular, yet we put so little emphasis on the fact that there are many different modes of understanding the world that evade the tight boxes of the 5 senses. Cognition in Human Design is often called your “super sense” as it describes a specific skill that is readily available to you. The 6 cognition types include ..read more

Once you learn your Human Design type, the next most important bit of information to learn is your authority. Authority in Human Design is like an inner instruction manual that tells you how to get in touch with your specific universal wisdom. This handy information tells you how your particular energy likes to be used and provides clues that enable you to access levels of confidence, alignment, and comfort with decision-making that are truly, well, transformative! Human Design can be a complex system but at the end of the day, if you can remember your strategy and authority – you’re gold ..read more

The cognition layer of Human Design is one of my favorites. Located in the substructure of the variables, cognition speaks to your “super sense.” I like to think of this aspect as the compass that guides you to understand just how wickedly intuitive you are. What do I mean by this? Well, cognition shows us that we are constantly taking in information from the world around us and interpreting it (right, right we know!). But the magic happens when we translate these subtle cues into actions, behaviors, feelings, and ultimately decisions. What we don’t often give credence to is the fact that mult ..read more

When we come into the domain of variables, (the arrows show up on your Human Design chart) things take a turn for the nuanced. If you are new to Human Design, I would recommend starting with the basics of your type, profile, and centers. Once you have the foundation of your strategy and authority and have really felt into how these subtle energetics play out in your life, only thhheeennnn would I advise jumping into the variables. Plainly put, it’s best to get a feel for your own energy and learn how to be very discerning about what feels authentic in your system before you start adding more c ..read more

Communication is truly a magical process of transformation. Just think about it, we are constantly turning thoughts into ideas and from there, shaping words that describe this information so we can ultimately create something that is physically tangible in 3D reality. I am endlessly fascinated with people who have a lot of air signs in their charts because they view the world in this mystical tension between what can be imagined and what can be created.  I was just listening to a Magic Monday’s podcast interview with Hebrew Priestess Rebekah Erev. In speaking about the origin story of the ..read more

Are you familiar with your Human Design strategy? If you don’t know yours yet, check it out at mybodygraph.com. If you do, you may be experiencing a bit of resistance or a little confusion if it didn’t immediately stand out as an “oh duh, that makes sense!!!” to you. As a Generator, I absolutely resonated with the idea of listening to the sounds made when someone asks a question or gives options. I can always tell when a Generator is on a zoom call because they’re the ones going “yup, uh-huh, sure, ok, nope, uhhhhhh, unh-uhn” and nodding or making facial expressions, even if they aren’t a ..read more

Ok, so you’ve learned your Human Design. You’ve dug into your chart and learned the ins and outs of how your unique energy shows up in the world and the impact it has on others. You understand how your energy shifts when you’re around other people and in their auras. You’re into learning about how you can leverage your chart to interact with the world in an empowered way. This sound like you? Great – because I’m about to introduce something completely new to the mix: The Penta. In Human Design, when three to five people come together in a group, it’s called a Penta. This is an entirely di ..read more
