Human Design is a modern synthesis system that turns your birth data into a BodyGraph, a chart of how energy moves through you. Enter your birth date, time and place and this calculator builds your full BodyGraph, returning your Type, Strategy, Authority, Profile and Incarnation Cross, along with the centers, gates and channels that are defined in you.
What Human Design Is
Human Design was introduced in the late twentieth century and blends ideas from astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system and the Kabbalist Tree of Life. It maps your chart onto a nine-centered BodyGraph, using both your birth moment and a point about three months before birth. The result is presented as a guide to living in a way that feels natural to you.
Your Type and Strategy
There are five Types: Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor and Reflector. Your Type comes with a Strategy, a simple guideline for making decisions, such as responding for Generators or waiting for recognition for Projectors. The Type and Strategy are the practical heart of Human Design and the first things most people explore.
Authority and Profile
Your Authority describes how you are designed to make decisions, whether through emotional clarity, gut response, or another inner signal. Your Profile, shown as two numbers like 1/3 or 5/1, describes the role you tend to play in life, blending two of the six lines. Together they add depth to the Type.
Centers, Gates and Channels
The nine centers can be defined, shown coloured, or open, shown white. Defined centers are consistent parts of you, while open centers are where you take in and amplify the world around you. The gates and channels show the specific energies that are switched on in your design, giving a detailed picture beyond the headline Type.
How to Use the Result
Use your BodyGraph as a framework for self-understanding and decision-making, an experiment to try rather than a rule to obey. Because Type, Authority and the centers all depend on exact timing, an accurate birth time and place are essential for a correct chart.
