What is Human Design?
Ever wonder why some days you’re bursting with creative energy while other days you can’t seem to get going? Or why you find yourself making decisions and realize AFTER THE FACT that you should’ve listened to your intuition? The answer might just lie in Human Design, an all-encompassing system that helps you understand who you are at your core.
What Exactly is Human Design?
Human Design is like a cosmic roadmap that combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the Chakra system, and quantum physics to give you a detailed guide to your unique personality, strengths, and life path. It’s not just another personality test or “Your Big 3” zodiac signs. Human Design encompasses all the energy around you and within you, offering insights into how you’re wired to operate in the world.
Why Should You Care About Human Design?
Humans have been navigating life without a lot of guidance. We have our intuition but scarcity, survival mode, and fear can keep us from following our intuitive wisdom. Human Design is like a map back to what we already know about ourselves and the world around us. A lot of the women I work with will say some iteration of, ”I feel seen” because that’s what Human Design does! By learning about your unique design, you can start making decisions, setting goals, and living your life in a way that feels more aligned and effortless. More YOU.
The Basics of Human Design: What You Need to Know
Here are some of the key elements in Human Design:
Energy Types: There are five main energy types in Human Design—Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors. Each type has its own way of interacting with the world and handling energy. For example, Generators have a steady source of energy when they’re doing work they love, while Projectors are natural guides who excel at directing others.
Strategy and Authority: These are the tools you use to make decisions that are right for you. Your strategy helps you understand how to best interact with the world, and your authority is the inner compass you can rely on to make choices that feel right.
Centers: There are nine centers in your Human Design chart, each representing different aspects of life like communication, emotions, and intuition. These centers can be defined (consistent energy from within) or undefined (more flexible and externally influenced).
Profile: Your profile is like your role in life’s play. It’s made up of two numbers, each representing a different aspect of your personality and how you’re meant to learn and grow in life.
Gates: The gates are your gifts. Each defined gate can not only remind you of why you’re here and what you excel at, they can also help you understand the bigger picture of your purpose.

Curious to see your own Human Design chart? All you need is your birth date, time, and location. Once you’ve got that, you can generate your chart online and start exploring. An important reminder: Human Design isn’t something you learn overnight. It’s a journey of self-discovery that unfolds over time (maybe even a lifetime). So, take it one step at a time, experiment with different aspects of your chart, and see how it feels to live in alignment with your design.
Why Human Design Matters for Creatives and Entrepreneurs
If you’re a creative or entrepreneur (or both!), understanding your Human Design can be the difference between slow growth and hustle culture OR easeful abundance. It can help you tap into your natural strengths, avoid burnout, and create in a way that feels true to you. Whether you’re creating a signature offer or just trying to figure out your next steps, Human Design offers a personalized roadmap to success.
