The Nine Centres

The nine centres are the shapes on the BodyGraph. A centre is defined when a channel connects it, and that gives you something consistent. An undefined or open centre is where you take in the world and, over time, where you become wise about it.

Each centre page covers all three states, so you can read the one that matches your chart and understand the people around you at the same time.
