Frequently Asked Questions

A man called Ra Uru Hu, on the island of Ibiza in January 1987. He described eight days and nights of transcribing what came to him, and he spent the rest of his life teaching it until he died in 2011. The system underneath is a synthesis of four older ones, astrology, the Chinese I Ching, the Hindu Brahmin chakras and the Kabbalist Tree of Life, laid over a modern reading of genetics and the neutrino.

Not in the sense of peer-reviewed evidence, and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling it. It borrows the language of neutrinos and genetics, and it has never been tested the way a scientific claim gets tested. What it does give you is something you can check for yourself: two instructions, run for a few weeks, judged on whether your days actually go better. That is the honest standard to hold it to, and it is the one I would use.

They share an input and almost nothing else. Both start from the moment you were born, but astrology reads planetary positions as archetypes and Human Design runs them through a fixed body map to produce something mechanical: how you are built to make decisions and where you are open to being shaped by other people. Human Design also uses a second calculation from roughly 88 days before your birth, which astrology does not.

They are two of the six lines of the hexagram, and together they describe the role you play. The first number is your conscious line, the part of yourself you would recognise in a description. The second is unconscious, the part other people tend to see in you before you do. A 3/5, for instance, is someone who learns by trial and error and gets looked to for answers whether or not they asked to be.

The four gates formed by the Sun and Earth on both sides of your chart, and there are 192 of them. It usually gets described as your life purpose, which is fair and also easy to get precious about. Ra was blunt on this point: you cannot live out your cross unless you are already living as yourself, so Strategy and Authority come first and the cross follows on its own.

No. Your chart is calculated from a moment that has already happened, so your Type, Authority and Profile are fixed for life. What changes is how well you are living them. The daily movement of the planets colours your experience, but it does not rewrite the underlying design.

Start with two things and let the rest wait: your Strategy and your Authority. Run them on small, low-stakes decisions for a couple of weeks and notice whether the days feel any different. Most people find the chart interesting on the first afternoon and useful somewhere around the third week. If you want a hand reading yours, the Discovery Reading is a free call where we go through it together.

The closer the better. Your birth time sets the positions of the planets, and a shift of a couple of hours can change your Type, your Authority, or a line in your Profile. A birth certificate is the most reliable source. If yours does not list a time, most hospitals and birth registries hold the record.

You can still generate a chart. Enter your best estimate and treat everything as provisional, because the parts of your design that move fastest will be the least trustworthy. If your Type and Authority stay the same across a wide range of times, those parts are safe to work with. If they flip, it is worth chasing down the real time before you build anything on it.

Yes. Enter their birth details instead of your own and the chart is theirs. Most people do this for a partner, a child or a parent. One thing worth saying before you do: a chart describes how someone is built, not what they ought to be doing, so it tends to land well when it is shared with the person and badly when it is used to explain them.

Your chart is saved to a page with an address nobody can guess, and that page is never indexed by search engines, so the link is yours to keep and come back to. Your details sit on my own client record so I can send you the chart and follow up with the occasional bit of guidance. Nothing is sold and nothing is handed to anyone else. The privacy policy has the full detail.

Yes. The chart and the audio walkthrough that follows it cost nothing. I ask for your email so I can send you the link to keep, and I send occasional Human Design guidance afterwards. You can unsubscribe whenever you like.

A free 45 minute one to one session where I walk you through your Human Design chart in real time, speaking to the soul of who you are and how you're built to move through life. You'll see your chart on screen as we go, and the session is recorded so you can return to it whenever you want.

A time that suits you, your name, and your email. That's it. Your booking is confirmed on the spot and the calendar invite lands in your inbox straight away. I'll gather your birth details (date, time, and place of birth) on the call itself.

Bring whatever you have. An approximate time is great, and even no birth time at all is no issue. In that case, I'll walk you through a process called birth time rectification, where I ask you a series of questions about how you experience yourself, and we use your answers to narrow down the time of day you were most likely born.

It really is free, and there is no catch. You give me 45 minutes and I give you your chart, read live. There's no pressure on the call. At the end, if what we've explored resonates and you'd like to go deeper, I'll share the ways we can continue working together, and "no thank you" is a complete answer.

Because Human Design is something that has to be experienced to be understood. A reading does in 45 minutes what a hundred articles can't. Giving that first experience away is how people find out what it's actually like, and some of them go on to work with me.

Anyone curious about who they really are and how they're designed to live. People often come to me at a threshold, a career shift, a relationship turning point, or a sense that something needs to change but they can't quite name what. Human Design gives that something a shape.

We meet on Zoom, and I'll send the link with your booking confirmation. I share my screen so you can see your chart while I walk you through it, the call is recorded, and the recording is sent to you afterwards as a keepsake.

If timing or schedule makes a live call impossible, let me know when you book and I can send a shorter pre-recorded walkthrough instead. The live version is richer because we can have a real conversation, so I'd recommend it whenever it's possible.
