he Human Design SystemYour Getting Started Guide

Back in 1987, a man by the name of Ra Uru Hu

received a 'revelation'. It contained a huge

amount of information about Chakras, the I Ching,

the Tree of Life and Astrology.

The revelation explained a new way to combine

these ancient wisdoms in a way that aligns with

modern science DNA and quantum physics.

It was called The Human Design System.

The chart is made up of chakras, circuits and gates. Your birth details are used to colour

your chart, making it as unique as your astrology chart.

This is the chart of Ellen DeGeneres

The Human Design Chart

In 1987, when the Human Design System was originally 'revealed' it included the chart

below.

We can see the energy centres, which are based on the chakras. We can also see

similarities between the channels in the Human Design chart and the pathways in the

Tree of Life

Hindu Chakra System Human Design Chart Kabbalistic Tree of Life

What makes each person's chart different? We add your planetary activations from

astrology. This creates another layer of the chart. Each portion of the astrological

zodiac has it's own place in the Human Design chart, and when a planet falls in that

place we colour the chart in.

How do we know where to place the planets? That's where the I Ching comes in.

The connection between Astrology and the I Ching is the engine room of the Human

Design System.

Putting the Planets Into the Chart

I'll give you an example. Today, 11thJuly 2010, as I'm writing this ebook, the Sun is at 18

degrees Cancer. Any planet that sits between 15 and 20 degrees in Cancer is indexed to

Hexagram 53.

Hexagram 53 is in the Root Chakra of the Human Design chart, and it's meaning is

Gr du l Development. If you were born today, your Sun would be in Gate 53 in yourHuman Design chart.



4/14


This means you have specific coding in your DNA that causes you to be conservative,

and you will feel uncomfortable if you are pressured to move forward too quickly. You

prefer to grow into life's potential rather than rush things.

Hexagram 53

Gradual development creates co-operation and good

relationships. Any development must be allowed to take its

proper course. Attempts to influence others by agitating

them doesn't have a lasting effect.

When we add the Astrology and the Tree of Life information to the mix, we know that

you gain a sense of who you are (your Sun) through slow and steady co-operation with

others (Hexagram 53) to achieve both good relationships and good outcomes for you

both (Root Centre).

There's a huge amount of information held within each Gate or Hexagram, including

examining the meaning of the elements of the Hexagram Wood and Mountain. This

example will give you some sense of how we begin to read your Human Design chart.

Another way for us to understand something about that Sun activation in

Gate/Hexagram 53 is to explore it's surroundings in the chart. We also want to know

what's connected to the Sun in Gate 53.

Are there other planets in the Root Centre?

Are there more planets or asteroids in this Gate that will add to it's flavour?How is the Root Centre activated (does it have connections to other Centres)?

The Hexagrams are always in the same place in the chart, they don't move around. Gate

53 (hexagram 53) is always at 15 to 20 degrees Cancer, and it's always in the Root

Centre. It's the position of the planets that makes your chart unique.

There's a huge difference in the look of charts.

Here's a chart with both Astrology and I Ching wheels.

The inner wheel contains the planets, and the outer wheel contains the I Ching

Hexagrams 1 through to 64. These two wheels are the magical engine room of the

Human Design chart.

The Power of your Pre-Natal Layer

Unlike your normal astrology chart, which only uses the birth time, Human Design uses

two sets of planetary activations.

There's the normal natal planets that are based on your birth time. And then there's a

second set called the Pre-Natal or Design layer, created using a date and time about 3

months prior to when you were born (88 degrees of the Sun prior to birth to be exact).

This second layer shows something about you that isnatural and operates under yourconscious awareness. This is different to the Jungian idea of the subconscious shadow.These gates show something in your energy field that you don't need to be consciously

aware of.

There's nothing wrong with them, nothing to be fixed. It's a bit like your heart beating oryour lungs breathing. If you had to be aware of everything that was happening in your

body you'd go quite mad. It's the same with the way you use your energy field.

This PreNatal layer is also known as the Design layer. It's shown on the chart in red.

The Natal layer is also known as the Personality layer. It represents what you are more

conscious of in your energy field, and is shown on the chart in black. There is a power in

putting these two aspects of self together and seeing how they interact.

Here's the Dalai Lama's chart showing both layers. This is what your standard Human

Design chart looks like (with the wheels added in).

Notice how some gates join with others to form channels, and this creates an activation

of the Centre at either end. These activations tell us a lot about what's connected in your

energy field and what isn't.

For example, if your Ajna Centre isn't connected to the Throat Centre you may have

difficulty expressing what you are thinking.

When a Centre doesn't have that connection, it's not activated and shows up as white onyour chart. That means it is more sensitive and this is an area of your life where you tend

to be affected much more than others by the people around you.

What Does My Design Say About Me?

Using the information in this ebook, you can look at which Centres each of your planets

is in, and make some initial observations.

For example, if your Sun is in the Root Centre, you develop a sense of identity (Sun) by

building personal security and stability and by engaging in life joyfully (Root Centre).

Centre Keynotes

The standard chart uses a fixed range of planets. On the next page are planetary

keywords that will help you begin to understand your own design.

r Saturn Where you need to face the limitations of being a human on thematerial plane, where you are a master of your greatest desires

and greatest fears.

f Uranus Where you tend to rebel rather than accept that you can operatenaturally without approval, where you have an intuitive

perception of life. Where you can be unpredictable and

innovative.

v Neptune Where you can move beyond confusion by gradually integrating aspiritual perspective. Potentially where you can be self

destructive.

t Pluto The ability to allow deep transformation, and also where you canresist real change and stay stuck in internal repression.

If you GoogleHuman Designyou'll see a lot of information about Type. Your Type is

shown in the Keynotes on your free chart. I don't work with Type anymore, as I find it

too simplistic, even misleading.

There ismuch more to Human Designthan the standard chart. In my work with Human

Design I use dwarf planets like Ceres and Haumea, asteroids like Juno and Eros, centaurs

like Chiron and Hylonome. I also refer to The Great Attractor, the Galactic Centre, Super

Galactic Centre and other black holes.

I also use multi layered charts your spiritual layer, your transpersonal layer, sleep and

dream layers and others. TheseSubtle Layersshow how different aspects of your

consciousness connect with each other in your day to day life.

A Whole New Answer To The Question ~ Who Am I?

So you see, Human Design is simply about looking at your chart and seeing what's

coloured in and what's connecting to what. While there is literally an unlimited amount

of information contained in your Human Design chart, there's an elegance to taking a

simple view.

This simple view informs something quite profound about ourselves and then takes us

by the hand and leads us forward into the mystery of our life.

Human Design will take us deeply into a contemplation of what it means to be a unique

individual, one step at a time. I believe it is more easily understood than astrology

because it is embedded in the body. The correlation between the I Ching and human

DNA indicates that this is information held deep within our cells.

Human Design can be a lived wisdom rather than a learnt philosophy.

We integrate useful information at the appropriate time, as we go along our natural

journey. In this way we embody wisdom about ourselves, rather than collect

information. Our Human Design has the potential to support us to develop immense

wisdom about ourselves and our relationships.

I'm going to share with you something that I believe happens when we approachHuman Design in this simple way. We lose our need to know and begin to enjoy the

journey. We stop trying to fit ourselves to the information, and start allowing our

observation of ourselves to be paramount. This frees us to be the authority in our own

lives.

And in this way, we discover a whole new answer to the question who am I?

Your Personal Planetary Story

Here's some questions to help you explore your design:

1. What chakras/centres do each of my planets activate?

2. What can I observe in my day to day life about how each of these Centres operate?

For example: My Sun is in my Ajna Centre and I feel really alive when I'm thinking andtalking to people. Mars is in my Heart Centre and I can be extremely willful when I want

something.

3.Which of my Centres are undefined (they are white on your chart).

4. How do I try to control my life in these areas? What challenges do I experience when I

experiment with letting go of control in these areas and going with the flow a bit more?

5. Which of my centres are defined?

6.What can I observe about what is strong for me in these areas of my life? How do I

help others in this way?

You must not let your life run in the ordinary way; do something

that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world.

Show that God's creative principle works in you.
