What is the Rave Chart?

A Rave Chart, also known as a Human Design BodyGraph, is a personalized energy map that reveals your unique design and potential. It's created using your birthdate, birth time, and birth location.

What are Authority and Strategy?

In Human Design, Authority is your inner guidance system – how you're designed to make decisions. It's like your internal compass.

Strategy is the specific way you interact with the world to gather information and then use your Authority to make decisions.

Here's a breakdown with examples:

  • Sacral Authority (Trust your gut feelings):
    • Strategy: To Respond. You wait for an energetic response (a "yes" or "no" feeling) to something.
    • Example: If considering a new job, you wait for a gut feeling of excitement or resistance.
  • Heart Authority (Wait for clarity and certainty):
    • Strategy: To Inform. You gather information and wait for a feeling of inner peace and certainty to emerge.
    • Example: Before making a decision, you research thoroughly and then wait for a feeling of calm and knowing.


  • Emotional Authority (Observe your emotions and wait for them to settle):
    • Strategy: To Wait. You acknowledge your initial emotional response and then wait for the emotions to settle to see if the initial feeling remains.
    • Example: You feel angry about a situation. You wait for the anger to subside and then reassess the situation with a calmer mind.
  • Splenic Authority (Trust your instincts):
    • Strategy: To Initiate. You trust your immediate, instinctive response to a situation.
    • Example: You feel a sudden urge to do something and you trust that this is the right course of action.

Your Strategy and Authority work together to guide you in making decisions that are aligned with your unique energy. By understanding and honoring your design, you can make choices that bring you more ease, joy, and fulfillment.

How can I use Human Design to improve my career?

By identifying your strengths and weaknesses, you can choose a career path that aligns with your natural talents and avoid stressful situations. Choosing a career that aligns with your energy type can lead to greater job satisfaction and success.

For example, a Projector might thrive in a role where they can offer guidance and strategy, rather than a fast-paced, high-pressure job.

Is Human Design a form of astrology?

While both systems use birth charts, Human Design is a more modern approach that integrates astrological, Kabbalistic, Chakra and I Ching systems. It also uses modern quantum physics.

Is Human Design deterministic?

No, Human Design is not deterministic. It provides a framework for understanding your unique energy blueprint, but it doesn't dictate your life path.

How does Human Design compare to religious and spiritual belief systems?

Human Design differs from religion by focusing on individual energy and self-discovery rather than collective beliefs, deities, or an afterlife. Religion often involves a belief in a higher power and a set of rules, while Human Design is a system for understanding your unique personality and how to live in alignment with it.

Do I have to follow my Design all the time?

No, you can choose to follow your Design or not. However, living in alignment with your Design can lead to greater fulfillment and success.

What is conditioning in Human Design?

In Human Design, conditioning refers to the influence of societal norms, expectations, and programming on our natural energy blueprint. It's the way we've learned to behave and react, often contrary to our authentic self.

There are two primary types of conditioning:

  • Social Conditioning: This is the conditioning we receive from society, culture, family, and education. It shapes our beliefs, values, and behaviors.
  • Emotional Conditioning: This is the conditioning we receive from our own emotional responses and reactions. It can lead to patterns of behavior that are not aligned with our true nature.
What is the role of the Not-Self in Human Design?

The Not-Self is the part of us that operates from conditioning and fear. It's the voice in our head that doubts our abilities, compares ourselves to others, and seeks approval.

The role of the Not-Self in Human Design is to recognize its influence and to consciously choose to operate from our authentic self. By understanding the Not-Self, we can become more aware of our patterns of behavior and make conscious choices to break free from them.

What are the nine Centers in Human Design?

In Human Design, there are nine energy centers:

Head Center: Inspiration, ideas, and mental energy.

G Center: Identity, love, purpose, and direction.

These centers can be defined (colored in) or undefined (white) on your Human Design chart. The combination of defined and undefined centers determines your Type, Authority, and Strategy.

How can Human Design help me in my daily life?

Human Design can significantly impact your daily life by providing a framework for understanding your unique energy type and how to best navigate the world around you. Here's how it can help:

1. Understanding Your Energy Type:

  • Identifying Strengths: Human Design reveals your natural talents, gifts, and the most efficient ways for you to operate. For instance, if you're a Generator, you'll learn to recognize your "Sacral Authority" – your gut instinct – and trust it for decision-making in business ventures. This can lead to more confident and successful business choices.
  • Recognizing Weaknesses: It highlights areas where you might experience resistance or drain. For example, if you're a Projector, you might struggle with feeling undervalued or overextended. Knowing this, you can set boundaries, communicate your value effectively, and avoid situations that deplete your energy.

2. Optimizing Work Style:

  • Creating an Ideal Work Environment: Human Design can guide you in structuring your workspace and daily routine to maximize your productivity and minimize stress. For example, if you're a Manifestor, you might benefit from a flexible schedule and the freedom to initiate projects independently.
  • Improving Collaboration: Understanding your own energy type and that of your colleagues can lead to more harmonious and productive teamwork. You can learn to communicate and collaborate in ways that respect everyone's unique needs and operating styles.

3. Aligning with Your Purpose:

  • Discovering Your True Calling: Human Design can help you identify your unique gifts and how to best express them in the world. This can lead to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven career path, ultimately contributing to greater prosperity.
  • Building a Sustainable Business: By operating in alignment with your natural energy, you're more likely to build a sustainable and fulfilling business that thrives long-term.

4. Attracting Abundance:

  • Living in Alignment: When you live in accordance with your Human Design, you naturally attract opportunities and experiences that are in resonance with your true self. This can manifest in increased abundance, prosperity, and success in your business endeavors.
  • Developing Authentic Marketing: By understanding your unique message and how to communicate it effectively, you can attract the right clients and build a thriving business based on authenticity and resonance.

Practical Examples:

  • A Generator Entrepreneur: Might use their strong Sacral Authority to identify profitable business ventures that truly excite them, leading to increased motivation and success.
  • A Projector Consultant: Might leverage their unique insights by waiting for invitations to work with clients who genuinely value their expertise, resulting in fulfilling and high-paying projects.
  • A Manifestor CEO: Might use their initiative and independent spirit to disrupt the market and create innovative products or services that resonate with their target audience.

Important Note: Human Design is a complex system, and these are just a few examples. A thorough investigation of your Human Design chart is key to unlocking its full potential, and understanding its nuances to fully benefit from its insights.

By incorporating Human Design principles into your business and daily life, you can cultivate greater self-awareness, reduce stress, increase productivity, and ultimately achieve greater fulfillment and prosperity.

Can Human Design help me with relationships?

Absolutely! By understanding your own energy type and the types of others, you can navigate relationships more harmoniously. Understanding your partner's energy type can help you communicate more effectively and avoid misunderstandings.

For example, a Generator might feel drained by a Manifestor's constant initiation if they don't have the energy to respond.

Example for business partners, a Generator partner might benefit from clear deadlines, while a Projector partner might thrive with open invitations to contribute. By understanding these nuances, partners can build a more harmonious and successful business.

Practical Example for a team:

  • A Marketing Team:
    • Generator: Excels at executing campaigns, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and relies on their gut instinct for decision-making.
    • Projector: Brings strategic vision and innovative ideas to the table, excels at networking and building relationships with clients, and needs to be invited to contribute their expertise.
    • Manifestor: Initiates new marketing strategies, thrives in an independent environment, and needs to communicate their plans clearly to avoid resistance.

By understanding these individual needs:

  • The team can delegate tasks effectively, with the Generator focusing on campaign execution and the Manifestor spearheading new initiatives.
  • The Projector can be invited to contribute their strategic insights and build valuable client relationships.
  • The team can establish clear communication channels and protocols to ensure everyone's voice is heard and respected.
Can Human Design help me with my health and well-being?

Human Design helps you understand how your unique energy type impacts your physical and emotional health. For example, a Generator might experience stress and burnout if they constantly resist their natural urge to respond. By understanding this, they can learn to align with their energy and avoid situations that drain them.

PHS, the Primary Health System, is a deeper dive within Human Design that focuses specifically on health and well-being. It uncovers the hidden depths of your individual energy and provides a personalized roadmap for optimizing your health. It's important to note that different teachers and schools may have varying interpretations of this subject.

What are the Gates and Channels?

In Human Design, Gates are the entry points for energy into your system. Think of them as doorways. There are 64 Gates, each associated with specific themes and qualities.

Channels are formed when two Gates connect across different energy centers. They represent pathways for energy to flow between these centers, influencing how you experience and interact with the world.

Key Points:

  • Defined Gates: When a Gate is "defined" (colored in) on your chart, it indicates a consistent flow of energy through that point.
  • Undefined Gates: Undefined Gates are more receptive and influenced by the energies of others.
  • Channel Themes: Each channel has a unique theme that influences your personality, relationships, and life experiences.
What is the difference between a defined and undefined center?

In Human Design, centers are energy hubs within your bodygraph. Here's the key difference between defined and undefined centers:

Defined Centers:

  • Consistent Energy: These centers have a consistent and predictable flow of energy.
  • Internal Source: You are the primary source of energy for these centers.
  • Strength and Consistency: Defined centers provide a sense of internal stability and consistent motivation.

Undefined Centers:

  • Fluid and Receptive: These centers are more open and receptive to the energies of others.
  • External Influences: You are influenced by the energies of the people and environments around you.
  • Adaptability and Flexibility: Undefined centers allow for greater adaptability and flexibility, but can also be prone to feeling overwhelmed or influenced by external pressures.

In simpler terms:

Imagine a defined center like a well that always has water. You have a consistent internal source of energy.

An undefined center is like an empty cup. It can be filled by the energies of those around you, but it can also feel empty or be easily influenced by external factors.

Key Takeaway:

Understanding the difference between defined and undefined centers helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses, how you interact with the world, and how to best navigate your unique energy.
