01. What exactly is Human Design?
Human Design is a practical framework for self-discovery.It synthesises wisdom from ancient systems, including Astrology, the Chinese I-Ching, the Chakra system and Kabbalah. It also bridges these with principles from modern science, such as Quantum Physics and Genetics.This image-based system creates a single and logical map of your unique energy. You can see an example of this system in Prince William's Human Design chart as below.Think of your own chart as the treasure map to your authentic self. It empowers you to be aware of who you really are.The goal is to give you a strategic guide to align with your nature and to live a more fulfilling life.
02. I know my MBTI personality type. What more can Human Design reveal?
Both tools are valuable for self-awareness, they operate on different levels. Personality tests like the MBTI (Myers–Briggs Type Indicator) typically describe psychological preferences, the "who" you are through behaviour. Human Design, however, reveals your energetic mechanics, the "how" you are designed to operate for optimal clarity and flow. It's not about boxing you into a type. It provides a strategic guide on how to trust your body's intelligence. This enables you to engage with the world more effortlessly.
03. What is the primary benefit of understanding my Design?
We make choices all the time. These decisions, big and small, collectively shape our well-being, success and future.
- Daily Choices: What to eat, how to manage your time and what to prioritise.
- Big Life Decisions: Changing your career, starting a family, or buying a home.
04. How is my Human Design chart calculated?
Your Human Design chart is a precise astronomical calculation. It is generated using your birth date, exact birth time and place of birth. The system uses two key moments in time to create your chart.
- The first calculation (shown in black on your chart) is from the moment of your birth.
- The second (shown in red) is about three months before you were born.
05. What if I don't know my exact birth time?
An exact time is always preferred for maximum accuracy. I would first recommend checking your birth certificate, or contacting the hospital where you were born. If an exact time is truly unavailable, we can still proceed with a reading. However, our exploration will be handled with the professional understanding that certain nuanced elements of the chart may be less defined. We will focus on the foundational aspects that remain consistent.
06. Is Human Design similar to astrology?
Astrology is one of the foundational pillars of Human Design. However, their purpose is very different.Think of it this way: Astrology often describes the 'what' of your personality. It gives you insight into your character traits.Human Design gives you the 'how'. It is your personal 'how-to' guide for life. It shows you how to use your talents and make decisions that are truly right for you. It is a practical tool for everyday living.
07. My twin and I have the same chart. Are our paths the same?
That is a brilliant question that gets to the core of this work. The simple answer is no!Think of your Human Design chart as a box of Lego bricks. You and your twin were given the exact same box with the same pieces inside. You even get the same instruction booklet on the principles of how to build a house.However, the house you choose to build, the colours you use for the roof, and the garden you create outside will be completely different. You use the same rules to build two unique homes. Your chart shows your shared potential. Our work together helps you bring that potential to life. Your unique expression and personal choices will always create your own distinct path.
08. Is Human Design a belief system?
Human Design is best understood as a practical and logical framework. It provides a strategic map to your unique energy. It doesn't ask for belief, only your curiosity and willingness to experiment. Human Design helps you distinguish the external influence that is NOT you and avoid falling into traps of what you are not designed to be. The validation for this system comes not from my words, but from the clarity and results you experience in your own life.
09. Does Human Design predict the future?
Human Design does not predict a fixed future. It is a strategic tool that empowers you to create your future. Think of it this way: a captain cannot predict the weather. But they can use their ship's unique instruments to navigate any storm with skill.Human Design equips you for skilled navigation for your life. It shows you how to make the correct decisions for yourself in the present moment. The future you create is simply the result of these well-made choices.
10. What if I don't feel like my chart describes me?
This is a very insightful question and a very common experience.Your chart describes your true nature. But life experiences give us a 'costume' to wear. We learn to act in certain ways to fit in with family, school and work.Sometimes we wear this costume for so long, we forget who is underneath. When your chart feels unfamiliar, it simply shows the difference between your true self and the costume you've been wearing. Our work is a safe space to rediscover the real you. It gives you permission to live a life that is authentically yours.
