Human Design is like a newer, cooler astrology. Instead of 12 signs, there are 5 types — Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector — determined by your birth date, time, and location. Your type shows you how best to use and express your energy to the world.

Finding out your type is just the tip of the iceberg. Your Human Design chart, called a bodygraph, reveals your unique talents and strengths. And where you’re vulnerable to the influence of others, and where you’re here to influence.

Human Design is informed by the chakra system as well as the I Ching, the Kabbalah, quantum mechanics, genetics, and astrology. Because it’s based on planetary influences at the time of your birth, Human Design experts claim scientific validity due to neutrino streams — minute particles from star emissions that travel through the Universe and through our bodies — that they say leave a unique imprint on us.

For my skeptics out there, I’d also like to add as a disclaimer that this complex system of Human Design was dictated to a Canadian man named Robert Krakower (self-renamed Ra Uru Hu) by a “Voice” on the island of Ibiza in 1987 during an eight-day-and-night mystical experience.

Whether you believe this or can suspend disbelief, finding out your design can feel shockingly accurate and validating, and lead to greater self-acceptance.

Human Design gives you permission to live in the ways you need to move through life, not in the ways society tells you to, based on your unique operating system.

For example, if you’re a Projector, you may only have the energy to work a few hours a day but beat yourself up and call yourself lazy for not being able to hack a 9-to-5 job — when, in fact, you’re here to be a valuable guide and not a worker bee. Or, if you’re a Manifesting Generator, you may frequently change or want to change careers and feel like a quitter—when, in fact, you’re supposed to pivot because you master things much faster than others.

In a nutshell, Human Design gives you a personalized blueprint for the most efficient way to use your energy and make decisions so that your life flows easier and with less resistance. We’re not all designed to operate the same way. Following your Human Design leads to a more successful and authentic life. Without having to be someone you’re not.
