How your energy flows
Five Types, and for each a Strategy: the correct way to approach a decision or an encounter.
Find out moreHuman Design is much more than a personal development tool. It is a complete system for mapping your inner world that reveals, with remarkable precision, how you are built to function - from the way you handle your energy to the way you make your best decisions.
Unlike approaches that ask you to become someone else, Human Design starts from a simple premise: you are already perfectly equipped to live your life. The problem is not what you are, but the fact that you have learned to function according to patterns that do not match your deeper nature.
In practice: From your birth data (date, exact time and place), the system generates a personal chart - the - which acts as a genuine user manual for your genetic nature.
Human Design was not invented out of nowhere: it is a convergence. Touch a source and it lights up, on the figure, the layer it contributed.
Five legacies
Each of these five disciplines left a precise layer on the chart. Touch one: it lights up, the others fade without disappearing.
The coordinate system
It supplies the sky: the position of the thirteen celestial bodies at the moment of birth. It is the only one of the five sources that brings a measurement, and without it there would be nothing to place on the chart.
The 64
Its sixty-four become the sixty-four spread across the chart. Every planetary position falls into one of them.
The 64
Our genetic code also counts sixty-four combinations. It is this coincidence of number that links the oldest of the five legacies to the most recent.
The vehicle
These particles pass through planets and matter without stopping. The system entrusts them with carrying the information that imprints the design.
The
The seven traditional are reorganised into nine. This is the visible framework of the chart, the part you notice first.
1781
According to this system, the species moves from seven centres to nine, and its cycle of maturation from Saturn's to Uranus's.
1983
Robert Allan Krakower, a Canadian from Montreal, leaves a career in advertising and publishing to settle on the island.
1987
From 3 January, a continuous transmission describes the mechanics from which the system will be born. That same year, a supernova bathes the Earth in for fourteen minutes.
1992
Now known as Ra Uru Hu, he opens the first courses: from then on, the system is passed on as a reading of what makes each person different.
2011
The body of work is fixed; it is this that the schools pass on today.
2027
A transformation of the centre, which would mark the emergence of another form of consciousness. It is the only date on this page that is not behind us.
To put Human Design into practice day to day, everything rests on three pillars.

Three questions to find your way in. They calculate nothing and guess no Type: that requires your time of birth.
It is the marker that changes the most day to day: how your energy works, and the Strategy that goes with it.
It is the decision compass: what to listen to, and in what order, when something has to be settled.
It describes your attitude to life and the way other people perceive you.
And to know what is really true for you, there is only one way: your date, your time and your place of birth.
One essential point: Human Design does not ask you to believe in it. Ra Uru Hu himself insisted on this: it is experimental knowledge. The system invites you to check for yourself whether this information matches your daily experience.
The ultimate aim is to free you from (the “”) - those habits and reflexes picked up under pressure from the people around you and from society, which move you away from your natural functioning. By following and , you can gradually recover your authenticity and reduce the resistances (frustration, anger, , disappointment) that signal a misalignment with your true nature.
