Human Design
What is Human Design?
A blueprint for your lifeThe blueprint for how to navigate your life.
In 1987, a man named Ra Uru Hu had a mystical experience. He was given information by what he called “The Voice”: a system that brings ancient teachings and modern science together. It became Human Design.
Part one · The ancient teachings
Ancient wisdom.
Four traditions from different corners of the world, each holding one piece of the picture.
Astrology
The planets
The study of the movements and positions of the planets and stars, and their influence on human affairs and the natural world.
The I’Ching
64 hexagrams
The ancient Chinese Book of Changes: eight trigrams and sixty-four hexagrams, read through the principles of yin and yang.
The chakras
Nine centers
Energy centers where body and consciousness meet. Hinduism names seven. Since 1781, humans have evolved into nine-centered beings.
The Kabbalah
The tree of life
Jewish mysticism, exploring the relationship between the eternal and mysterious, and our mortal, finite universe.
Part two · The scientific knowledge
Modern science.
And four sciences that explain how we are made, and what moves through us.
Astronomy
The sky and space
The science of the stars, the planets, space and the physical universe as a whole.
Biochemistry
The chemistry of life
The chemical processes and substances at work inside every living body.
Quantum physics
Neutrinos
Tiny particles streaming from the stars (our Sun makes 70% of those in our solar system). They carry information, and leave an energetic imprint on us.
Genetics
What we inherit
The study of heredity, and how the traits we inherit vary from person to person.
The synthesis
Human Design is all of these, and none of them alone. It’s bigger than the sum of its parts.
A powerful, accurate and beautiful system that lays out the blueprint for how to navigate your life.

Conditioning
Peeling back the layers.
Living in a way that isn’t really you.
That’s conditioning.

We take it in
As children we are sensitive, and we absorb our surroundings: how to act, think and feel, even when it isn’t us.
- 2
The mind takes over
We grow up deciding with our minds, instead of trusting our body’s intelligence: our Strategy and Authority.
- 3
We come home
Human Design shows you which layers aren’t yours, so you can peel them away and find your true nature.
