How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
The Centers
Now you see the inside of your chart curled. You see centers that are colored and centers that are white. Look at your chart, which you got from us HERE:), to see which of YOUR centers are either colored or white! You can read more about the centers and their Achilles heels here!
The colored centers are reliable in you and define you. They are created as a consequence of the connections of the respective gates we mentioned earlier. 2 gates create a channel by an electromagnetic connection! The channels run between the COLORFUL centers. And since we have either red/unconscious or black/conscious gates, the channels are either red, or black, OR both.
You also see hanging from your white and colored centers individual gates, in these HANGING gates, we go into RELATIONSHIP with the world and are also conditioned here, be it positively or negatively, thus to our advantage or disadvantage. In our example, the throat center, the 3rd center from the top, has 1 whole channel AND 4 hanging gates. As I said, your chart will look different 🙂
:::
Then you see white centers, the white centers are NEVER reliable in your chart and also NEVER consistant, there flows the energy of the world into you and conditions you positively or negatively! Look in your chart, what you got from us HERE :), to see, which of YOUR centers, are either colored or white! The white centers, are either your torture chambers, your kryptonite, if you act from it, the source of your deepest conditioning, your pain and often trauma OR the source of your wisdom, if you follow your strategy and authority.
We also see here the genetic strategy and authority depending on the definition of the centers and in our example it is a Manifesting Generator that must/can respond to life. Look at your chart, what is your strategy and authority, because this is really the holy grail in your design.

How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
Explanation Human Desin Chart: NAMES & MEANING OF THE CENTERS
HEAD: pressure to think about past, the now, the future; inspiration
AJNA: center that transforms mental pressure from head to understand life into co-concepts; center of conceptualization

DEFINED (=colored) CENTERS
Here in this chart, specifically inside the chart, the COLORFUL centers are circled. Look in your chart, what you got from us HERE :), to see which of YOUR centers are COLORFUL!
The COLORFUL centers are reliable in you and define you. They are created as a consequence of the connections of the respective gates we mentioned earlier. 2 gates create a channel by an electromagnetic connection! The channels run between the COLORFUL centers. And since we have either red/unconscious or black/conscious gates, the channels are either red, or black, OR both.
We also see here the genetic strategy and authority, depending on the definition of the centers and in our example it is a Manifesting Generator that must/can respond to life. Look at your chart to see what your strategy and authority is, because that is really the holy grail in your design. Here more about strategy and authority!

OPEN/UNDEFINED (=WISE) CENTERS
Here in this graphic, specifically inside the chart, the WHITE centers are circled. Look in your chart, what you got from us HERE :), to see which of YOUR centers are WHITE!
Then you see WHITE centers, the WHITE centers are NEVER reliable in your chart and also NEVER constant, there flows the energy of the world into you and conditions you positively or negatively! The white centers, are either your torture chambers, your kryptonite if you act from it, the source of your deepest conditioning, your pain and often trauma OR the source of your wisdom, if you follow your strategy and authority.

Here is the detailed overview of how to read your Human Design Chart and Human Design Chart Explanation – PART 2 – Deeper Layers of Your DESIGN – Variables, Nutrition, Environment, Motivation, Perspective
Well, are you still exploring your chart…? The Human Design Chart explanation in its depth goes even further! I always say in my analysis & human design courses and trainings, I can talk about an individual chart for 2 DAYS and still not be done 😀 Soooo much depth, sooo much to discover, soooo much detail, soooo much beauty and soooo many nuances…. 😉 If you want to explore and unleash your design together with me and pester me with questions, click here 🙂
If you got the chart from us HERE, you will not only see the chart, but also get this special overview and information of your chart from us. Let us also explain these aspects briefly so that you have even more input about your chart 🙂
There are, in total, 12 dietary regiments in the Human Design System:
- Appetite – Consecutive
- Appetite – Alternating
- Taste – Open
- Taste – Closed
- Thirst – Hot
- Thirst – Cold
- Touch – Calm
- Touch – Nervous
- Tone – High
- Sound – Low
- Light – Direct
- Light – Indirect
By the way, if it says PASSIVE, then you have a passive brain, so you are a fasting type. If it says ACTIVE, then you have an active brain and are a person who needs regular meals and should not fast!
How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
NUTRITION/PHS/DIETARY REGIMENT = Digesting food AND digesting life – What nourishes you from the INSIDE?
In this field, framed in red, you discover your NUTRITION, also called PHS or DETERMINATION. You look in your chart where the arrow is and what word is behind it and then look in this Instagram graphic of mine where this term is located ( has a number in front of it from 1-12 and is in CAPITAL LETTERS) and then you know what nutrition you have 🙂
If you want to know more about nutrition and the 4 transformation steps, check out my analyses here.
How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
COGNITION = your superpower in the unconscious data processing
In this red-framed field, you discover your COGNITION. What sense is your SUPERPOWER and essential in data processing when you filter reality AND to refine your strategy & authority: you look in your chart where the arrow is and what word is behind it and then look in this Instagram graphic of mine where this term is located ( has a number in front of it from 1-6) then you know what COGNITION you have 🙂
If you want to know more about nutrition and the 4 transformation steps, check out my analyses here.
There are 6 environment types in total:
- Cave: LEFT fixed (= active environment & body) or RIGHT fixed (= passive environment & body)
- Market: LEFT fixed (= active environment & body) or RIGHT fixed (= passive environment & body)
- Kitchen:LEFT fixed (= active environment & body) or RIGHT fixed (= passive environment & body)
- Mountain: LEFT fixed (= active environment & body) or RIGHT fixed (= passive environment & body)
- Valley: LEFT fixed (= active environment & body) or RIGHT fixed (= passive environment & body)
- Shore: LEFT fixed (= active environment & body) or RIGHT fixed (= passive environment & body)
The ORIGINAL Human Design software we use doesn’t directly show you if you have a LEFT fixed (active environment & body) or RIGHT fixed (passive environment & body). But I’ll tell you a trick you can use to find out 😉
You remember the variables? This 6-letter code. You will see something like PRR DRR or PRL DLL. You look in your FREE chart, which you got from us, at YOUR 6-digit variable letter code the LAST letter and there will be EITHER a R or an L. Something else can NOT be there.
If there is an R, then your respective environment, be it cave, market, kitchen, mountain, valley or shore is fixed RIGHT (= passive environment & body).
If there is an L, then your respective environment, be it cave, market, kitchen, mountain, valley or shore is fixed LEFT (= active environment & body). As I said, it’s complex, that’s why we study HDS for several years, and that’s also why I offer 14 different analyses over a single chart 😉
How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
ENVIRONMENT/BODY = What nourishes you on the outside?
In this red framed field you discover your ENVIRONMENT, so that you are not a polar bear in the desert, but are nourished and supported by life and can minimize resistance. You look in your chart where the arrow is and what word is behind it and then look in this Instagram graphic of mine, where this term is located, and then you know what environment you have 🙂
If you want to know more about nutrition and the 4 transformation steps, check out my analyses here.
There are 6 motivations in total:
How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
MOTIVATION = What drives your MIND and how can it inspire?
In this red framed field you discover your MOTIVATION. Our mind is not “evil”, only it is extremely distorted by trauma and wrong conditioning. So the more we deconditonize, i.e. live by strategy and authority, the wiser and more inspiring our Mind becomes and can serve us and others. You look in your chart that you got from us (HERE) where the arrow is and what word is behind it and then look in this Instagram graphic of mine where this term is located and then you know what MOTIVATION you have 🙂
If you want to know more about nutrition and the 4 transformation steps, check out my analyses here.
BTW: if there is the term RECEPTIVE, then you have a RECEPTIVE MIND. If it says STRATEGIC, then you have a STRATEGIC MIND!
There are a total of 6 senses of mind:
How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
The 6 SENSES of the MIND = What makes your mind tick on a deeper level?
In this red framed field you will discover the SENSE of YOUR MIND. Our mind/mind is not “evil”, only it is extremely distorted by trauma and false conditioning. So the more we deconditonize, that is, live by strategy and authority, the wiser and more inspiring our Mind becomes and can serve us and others. You look in your chart that you got from us (HERE) where the arrow is and what word is behind it and then look in this Instagram graphic of mine where that term is located and then you know which of the 6 SENSES you have 🙂
If you want to know more about nutrition and the 4 transformation steps, check out my analyses here.
By the way: if you have sense 4 or 5 or 6, then you have a RECEPTIVE MIND.
There are a total of 6 transferences of the mind:
How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
The TRANSFERENCE – the “shadow motivation” where you have ZERO awareness
In this red framed field you discover the TRANSFERENCE, that is so to say the “shadow motivation” of your mind and if you catch yourself in this state, ATTENTION NEVER make a decision, because in this “shadow motivation” we have downright ZERO awareness and wisdom, neither for us nor for others!
Our mind is not “evil”, only it is extremely distorted by trauma and wrong conditioning. So the more we decondition, i.e. live according to Strategy and Authority, the wiser and more inspiring our Mind becomes and can serve us and others. You look in your chart that you got from us where the arrow is and what word is behind it and then look in this Instagram graphic of mine where that term is located and then you know which of the 6 SENSES you have 🙂
If you want to know more about nutrition and the 4 transformation steps, check out my analyses here.
There are 6 Perspectives in total:
How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
The PERSPECTIVE – what should your eyes observe in this world?
In this red framed field you discover the PERSPECTIVE, that is your view on the world and what you are allowed/should see in this world as main focus, for more awareness and if the perspective of your Mind is invited, with what you can serve 🙂
So the more we decondition, that is live according to strategy and Authority, the wiser and more inspiring our Mind becomes and can serve us and others. You look in your chart that you got from us where the arrow is and what word is behind it and then look in this Instagram graphic of mine where this term is located and then you know which of the 6 PERSPECTIVES you have 🙂

VARIABLES – DEEPER LAYERS OF YOUR UNIQUE BEAUTY
…
How to read Your Human Design Chart – Human Design Chart Explanation:
VARIABLES
Here in this specific graphic, you see in the first line, which is circled in red, the VARIABLES. These are more complex aspects, if that overwhelms you, then you can explore nutrition, environment, perspective & motivation below first 🙂
Variables are even deeper layers of your design that show us if deeper layers of your design are more RECEPTIVE/PASSIVE or STRATEGIC/ACTIVE. The variables are displayed as a letter code, where we take either D, P, R or L:
Here is the breakdown and meaning of the letters:
P = Personality
D = Design
R = Right = the arrow of the variable goes to the RIGHT, therefore receptive, receiving, giving, more yin
L = Left = the arrow of the variable goes to the LEFT, therefore active, strategic, more yang
The first letter after the P is the MIND/Psyche and the second letter stands for PERSPECTIVE. If there is an R then the mind and/or PSyche is RECEPTIVE/PASSIVE and if there is an L then it is ACTIVE:
The first letter after the D is the BRAIN and the second letter stands for ENVIRONMENT/BODY. If there is an R then the BRAIN or the ENVIRONMENT/BODY is receptive and if there is an L then it is STRATEGIC/ACTIVE.
This specific graph says PRR DRR – check your graph that you got from us HERE to see what variables you have:
P = PERSONALITY
R = UNDERSTANDING: receptive, because of the R, since R means receptive (as mentioned before)
R = PERSPECTIVE: receptive, because of the R, as R means receptive
D = DESIGN
R = BRAIN: receptive, because of the R, since R means receptive
R = ENVIRONMENT/BODY: receptive because of the R, since R means receptive.
There are 16 different variables, it is very complex subject, not for nothing we analysts may study for several years … 😉 I go into it in depth in my various analysis. If you want to do that, that is to initiate your next level of deconditioning and empowerment, we can do it here.
Well did you make it this far!? 😉
That was a LOT of input about your design. Give yourself time to digest it all! The Human Design System is very complex and multi-layered, that’s why we analysts study it for several years to learn, understand and then teach it correctly. The most important thing in your Human Design Chart is ALWAYS YOUR STRATEGY AND AUTHORITY, this is also described in your free analysis you got from us and if you still don’t have it, get it here below! 🙂 And here I am at INSTAGRAM for more humor, knowledge and empowerment!
And if you want to dive deeper into understanding your design AND also realize the beautiful potential of your Human Design chart, you can work with me here 🙂
