Living Your Design
Applying Human Design to Your Life
Human Design is a self-discovery tool that stands apart from astrological readings and personality tests because of its unique blend of ancient wisdom and science. It's more than just a way to learn about your personality traits; it offers practical insights that help you navigate your life with more clarity, ease, and alignment.
Whether you're brand new to Human Design or have heard about it in passing, this guide will introduce you to its core principles, explain how to get your own Human Design chart and explore how you can apply what you learn to live in harmony with your authentic self.
What is Human Design?
At its essence, Human Design is a system that combines elements of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system, and quantum physics to create a blueprint of your energy. This blueprint reveals how you're wired to make decisions, interact with others, and navigate challenges in life.
Each person has a unique Human Design chart, often referred to as a "bodygraph," which maps out your energetic makeup. This chart helps you understand how your energy operates and how you can use it to your advantage rather than following societal norms or expectations that may not align with your true self.
How to Get Your Human Design Chart
The first step in exploring Human Design is to obtain your personalized chart. This chart is calculated using your birth date, time, and location, much like an astrological natal chart. If you don't know your exact birth time, you can still generate a chart, but having accurate information will give you the most precise results.
You can get a free Human Design chart on Mongata's website. Once you've entered your information, you'll receive a detailed visual map that includes elements like your energy centers, type, authority, and profile.
Applying Human Design to Your Life
Once you have your chart in hand, the next step is learning how to interpret it. Here are three foundational aspects of your chart and how you can start applying them to your daily life:
Your Type
Your Human Design type is the most basic, but also the most critical aspect of your chart. It reveals how your energy interacts with the world and how you're designed to take action. There are five types in Human Design: Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector. Each type has a different way of responding to life and making decisions.
Manifestors are initiators, here to make things happen.
Generators and Manifesting Generators are builders, meant to respond to the right opportunities.
Projectors are guides, here to lead and advise, but only when invited.
Reflectors are mirrors, sensitive to the environment, and take time to reflect before making decisions.
Knowing your type helps you understand how to best engage with the world, whether it's in your career, relationships, or personal goals.
2. Your Strategy
Each Human Design type has a specific strategy for making decisions and interacting with the world. Your strategy is like a compass, guiding you to take aligned actions that prevent frustration, anger, or bitterness.
Manifestors thrive when they inform others before they act.
Generators and Manifesting Generators make the best decisions when they wait to respond to opportunities that excite them.
Projectors succeed when they wait for recognition and invitations before stepping into leadership roles.
Reflectors benefit from taking time (usually a full lunar cycle) to make major decisions.
Applying your strategy to everyday situations, from deciding whether to take on a new project to how you approach conversations with loved ones, can bring more ease and flow into your life.
3. Your Authority
Your authority is your internal decision-making process, helping you know when something is right for you. There are several types of authority in Human Design, and each person's authority guides them differently.
Some people have Emotional Authority, meaning they need to wait out emotional waves before making decisions.
Others have Sacral Authority, meaning they get immediate gut responses to yes or no questions.
Splenic Authority relies on instinct and intuition at the moment.
There are other forms of authority, each offering unique guidance on how you can trust yourself more deeply.
By following your authority, you can make decisions that align with your true desires and needs rather than getting caught up in societal pressure or overthinking.
