Your birth chart
Find your Human Design
Find your Human Design type, strategy, authority, profile and incarnation cross, with a full bodygraph of centres, channels and gates.
Needs an exact birth time. The Moon changes gate about every half day.
What the chart is made of
A Human Design chart uses two moments. Personality is your birth. Design is about 88 days earlier, when the Sun stood 88 degrees before its birth position. The Sun, Earth, Moon, both lunar nodes and the eight planets are placed on a wheel of 64 gates for each moment.
When both gates of a channel are active, the channel is defined and so are the two centres it joins. Your type, authority and definition follow from which centres are defined and how they connect.
The five types
- Generator
- Defined Sacral. Strategy: to respond.
- Manifesting Generator
- Defined Sacral with a motor connected to the Throat. Strategy: to respond, then inform.
- Manifestor
- Open Sacral, with a motor connected to the Throat. Strategy: to inform.
- Projector
- Open Sacral and no motor to the Throat. Strategy: wait for the invitation.
- Reflector
- No defined centres. Strategy: wait a lunar cycle.
How Astriel calculates Human Design
Astriel uses the same tropical ephemeris as your birth chart and the true lunar node. Gates follow the standard wheel, with gate 41 starting at 2 degrees Aquarius, and each gate has six lines of 0.9375 degrees.
Human Design was published in 1987 and combines astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah tree and the chakra system. Treat it as a lens for reflection, not as a scientific measurement.
Comparing with another calculator
Check the birth date, local time and time zone first. A few minutes can move the Moon or an angle-sensitive line. Some calculators use the mean node instead of the true node, which can change the nodal gates and lines.
