Once you understand your Type and Strategy, the real journey begins by exploring your Human Design Centers and Human Design Gates.

The 9 Human Design Centers

Your BodyGraph has 9 geometric shapes called Centers. They are hubs of energy. When a center is defined (colored in), that energy is consistent. When it is undefined (white), you take in and amplify that energy from your environment. Knowing your centers is the key to deconditioning.

The 64 Human Design Gates

Inside those centers are numbers ranging from 1 to 64. These are the Human Design Gates, correlating directly to the 64 Hexagrams of the I-Ching. Each active gate in your chart represents a specific archetypal trait or skill you possess.

Human Design Transits

The planets don't stop moving when you are born. As planets move, they activate different gates in the collective chart. These are known as Human Design Transits. Understanding the daily transits helps you navigate temporary energetic "weather" and conditioning.
