Understanding Your Human Design Chart
For the Beginners
I realized I created some blogs on this topic, but they had a lot of information so I wanted to create a blog that I could easily share with people as they get introduced to human design. This blog will address some basics of the Human Design chart. These are four areas of your chart that I recommend you start with, and what they reveal.
Human Design sheds light on your emotional, psychological and energetic makeup, giving you the self-awareness and tools to align with your TRUE nature and step into your highest potential in every area of your life -- in your career, partnership, and relationships. The opportunity is endless.
When you pull your chart, locate these four areas Type, Strategy, Authority, and Not-Self Theme, this is the information they reveal:
TYPE:
This is MACRO level. The TYPE advises you on how your aura or energetic body “works.” It determines the best way for you to navigate your life and get things done. It reveals how others may feel or experience your energy/aura. It will also provide a picture of your role in the grand scheme of things, as it relates to the collective. There are five types and you will be one of those five.
Example: Projectors are here as advisors or guides, their aura is deeply focused and penetrating. While Generators are pure doers; they are the ones with the energy to master the process and bring new ideas to life, and their aura is open and enveloping.
STRATEGY:
This is determined by your energy TYPE. Each energy type has its unique strategy pairing. Your strategy is all about the most correct way for you to approach and navigate through life.
Example: Projectors are advised to wait to be recognized AND invited, as their energy is focused, penetrating, and absorbs others. When they don’t follow their strategy they may experience the NOT-SELF (signpost: letting you know you’re out off track).
AUTHORITY:
Decision-making Authority is how you can make decisions you can trust. It is your body’s knowing or intelligence. This will be determined by the Centers within your chart. Your decision-making Authority is the way you’ll know if something is correct for you or not. This is necessary for your Signature and helps you stay engaged with life in a way that lights you up in the way you desire to experience it. With your Authority, you want to experiment to see how it works.
Together, your Strategy and Authority act as the key to you living an aligned and authentic life. If you’re making decisions utilizing your Strategy and Authority, then you are not making decisions with your mind. The way to bring this all together is: you are advised on how the world receives your aura (Type), you are then guided on how to approach and navigate life with this knowing (Strategy), whether that means to Respond, Initiate, or Inform, and then, you determine if that thing, invitation, or experience is correct for YOU (through Decision Making Authority)!
Whether we are living aligned or not can be determined by the Signpost we experience. The signpost will be the Signature & Not - Self Theme.
SIGNPOST: This information is determined by TYPE. They are the signals that show whether you're on or off YOUR path.
SIGNATURE: How you know you are on your path.
Example: Generators are meant to experience and feel Satisfaction. So feeling satisfaction (and you can decide what that means or feels like) is an indicator that they have responded to something that Lights them up, or that they are feeling aligned with.
NOT - SELF THEME: Your body’s way of telling you that something is out of alignment and requires your attention.
Example: for the Generator, the feeling of frustration is an indicator that something is out of alignment, and needs their attention.
To quiet all the other noise and focus on the bigger picture, I would start here. Once you begin experimenting you can then move on to the nuances, and details of your human design chart. These four areas will open up so much space for you to allow your true essence to unapologetically express itself. May you enjoy your journey with Human Design and HAVE FUN! I’ll be back around with some more information or resources.
I love you, and I am so happy to share this space with you.
