Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need
to know
What is Human Design?+
Think of it like a personality system, but instead of answering quiz questions about yourself, it’s calculated from your exact birth data — date, time, and place. It synthesizes the I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, the chakra system, and modern astronomy into a Bodygraph chart that maps how your energy flows, how you’re designed to make decisions, and how you work best with other people.
Is Human Design legit or is it woo-woo?+
Fair question. Human Design is calculated from real astronomical data — the positions of planets at the exact moment you were born. It’s not a horoscope. We don’t ask you to “believe” anything. Just try it: read your chart, see if it’s accurate, and decide for yourself. Most people are surprised.
How is Human Design different from MBTI or Enneagram?+
Those are based on self-reported questionnaires — you answer questions about how you think you behave. Human Design is calculated from your birth data. There’s no survey to game. Two people born at the same time in the same place get the same chart, regardless of how they feel about themselves.
What do I need to generate my chart?+
Your birth date, your exact time of birth (check your birth certificate), and the city you were born in. Human Design OS calculates everything else — your Type, Strategy, Authority, Profile, defined and undefined Centers, Gates, Channels, and Incarnation Cross. If you don’t know your exact time, we can still give you your Type and Strategy.
How accurate is my Human Design chart?+
Your chart is calculated from precise astronomical data at the moment of your birth. The accuracy depends on having the correct birth time — even a few minutes can shift gate activations. Most people find their chart eerily accurate once they understand the terminology. We recommend verifying your birth time with a birth certificate for the best results.
What are the five Human Design types?+
Generator (37% of people), Manifesting Generator (33%), Projector (20%), Manifestor (8%), and Reflector (1%). Your Type determines your core energy mechanics — how you’re designed to interact with the world, what your Strategy is for making decisions, and what signature feeling indicates you’re living correctly.
Is my chart really free?+
Yes. Your core chart — your full Bodygraph, Type, Strategy, and Authority — is completely free, forever. Premium unlocks unlimited AI-powered readings personalized to your chart, daily transit analysis, and deep dives into all 64 Gates, your Channels, Centers, and life purpose. New features are added regularly.
How do I use my Human Design in daily life?+
Start with your Strategy and Authority — these are your decision-making tools. For example, Generators wait to respond before committing energy, while Projectors wait for invitations. HDOS provides daily transit readings that show which of your Gates are activated each day, helping you understand shifting energy patterns and make aligned choices.
Can I share my chart or compare with someone else?+
Yes — that’s half the fun. Share your chart with a unique link, have them pull theirs, then compare your designs. You’ll see which Channels you form together and where your energies complement or challenge each other — dynamics you’ve been struggling to put into words.
