what is human design?

  • Human Design is a system created in 1992 by Alan Robert Krakower (aka Ra Uru Hu), which brings together principles of The I Ching, Western Astrology, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, and quantum physics to create a chart called a BodyGraph. This chart is calculated using your birth date, time, and place.
  • Human Design provides a guide on how we can live in sync with our true nature. The BodyGraph reveals what aspects of our energy type, skills, and traits we should lean into to experience flow and acceptance of our true selves.

what are the lines?

  • One of the fundamental components of Human Design is the concept of “Lines,” which provide insight into an individual’s inherent traits and characteristics. 
  • Each line has its own theme, energy, and/or characteristics.
  • The lines provide a deeper layer of understanding of the elements within the chart
  • The lines in your chart can take time to understand because the themes can seem very abstract. Sort of like a puzzle. And your understanding of the lines in your chart will evolve over time as you embark on your own Human Design journey.

where do the lines appear on a bodygraph chart?

  • Profile or Personality characteristics (e.g.,1/4  1/5, 3/5  etc.)
  • Next to the gates on the design and personality sides of the chart (see the two columns in your bodygraph chart.) For example, you may see 63.4 (Gate 63, line 4) or 1.6 (Gate 1, line 6)
  • Within the levels of information that can be found in the Arrows (Four Transformations) of a bodygraph chart
