086: Reading your human design chart made easy

In season four, I’m delving into all things human design. Your human design is unique to you—based on the date and time of your birth and where you were born—and helps you to be more connected to your desires, motivations, and behaviors.

In today’s episode, I’m explaining the body graph chart at a high level. The most important thing is to not get overwhelmed by all the information that is presented in your graph. I’ll walk you through each aspect and help you know where to start and how to navigate your graph.

It’s a complex system, so go ahead and get your free body graph here and follow along while you listen. It will make understanding the different aspects much easier.

As you learn the ins and outs of human design, you will understand what makes you unique, find the purpose you’re here to share, and then weave this knowledge into your business so that you can stand out within your specific industry.

What you’ll find in this episode:

  • How to read your body graph

  • Understanding your defined gates

  • How channels define your consistent strengths

  • Understanding the nine centers

  • Defined vs. open centers

  • How the planets on your graph represent different themes for your life

  • How the planets on your graph are related to your birth date and time

  • Identifying your profile

  • How the profiles relate to your conscious and unconscious behaviors

  • The five human design types

  • How to get started living out your chart

Quotes:

I think we all have a sense of what our strengths are, but sometimes we don't always have the language to describe them. So this can be really helpful for that. And also, sometimes we don't even notice what our own strengths are because they just come naturally to us. So it is interesting and helpful, I think, to see what your chart shows as natural, inherent strengths that you bring. [05:18] —Alyssa

So if you're here to be and share something in particular, in order to make that as smooth and easy as possible, you need to be grounded in whatever it is that your earth gate is activating. [14:11] —Alyssa

And there's 192 different possibilities for what your incarnation cross is. And it's actually pretty important. It makes up about 70% of the imprint in your chart, and it really has to do with your life's purpose. It's your kind of ultimate definition of your purpose here on Earth. Now, that's kind of big and heavy, I get, right, but it is something that kind of helps put into context everything else that's going on in your chart. [19:04] —Alyssa

I would suggest just starting with your strategy, your authority, and understanding your type. And then going into the different parts of the body graph, because the body graph provides such rich nuance and great complexity. That's what makes us so unique. And that's one of the reasons why I love the human design system so much, is that there's so much complexity and layers built into it. [20:50] —Alyssa
