Human Design System works primarily through your Bodygraph. It divides all of us into five Types: Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, and Reflector.
Your Profile describes 70% of the behavioral costume that you embody and display as a signpost to correctly living your role of purpose.
The Bodygraph contains nine Centers. Understanding your defined, undefined, and open Centers reveals your authority, definition, and conditioning.
Definition describes how your defined Centers connect to each other. Single, Split, Triple Split, Quadruple Split, or No Definition - each Definition type shapes how you process energy and relate to others.
The 36 Channels connect Centers and create definition in your Bodygraph. Each Channel is formed by two Gates and carries a specific energy theme that shapes how you experience life and impact others through conditioning.
Gates and Lines are the specific archetypal energies activated in your chart by planetary positions. There are 64 Gates in the Bodygraph, each with 6 Lines, derived from the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching.
In Human Design, each planet programs specific Gates and Lines in your Bodygraph. Learn how the Sun, Moon, Nodes, and planets carry different meanings than in traditional astrology.
Your Incarnation Cross is defined by four Gate and Line activations and provides the overarching theme through which your purpose may emerge. Crosses are grouped into Quarters and Cross types.
Channels, Gates and Lines group into three overarching Circuit families - Individual, Collective, and Tribal. Individual and Tribal circuits further sub-divide into Knowing, Integration, Centering, Ego and Defense circuits.
Determination, Environment, Perspective, and Motivation. The four critical areas for living your design correctly at the deepest level.
The four arrows at the top of your Bodygraph reveal your Variables, which are Tone derived and represent the deepest level of quantum differentiation in Human Design.
Homo Solaris is the new species emerging from the Solar Plexus Mutation beginning February 2027. Defined by quad-right architecture and shared consciousness, Homo Solaris represents the next evolutionary step for humanity.
Saturn Return, Uranus Opposition, and Chiron Return mark critical maturation and transformation phases in life. Other cycles like Solar Return, Lunar, Jupiter and others have specific conditioning value and impact.
The neutrino stream carries planetary programming that conditions everyone in realtime, whether awake or asleep. The transiting planets activate Gates and Lines in your chart, revealing another deep conditioning layer impacting your mind.
A Connection design consumes individual designs and reveals the mechanics of a union. The Connection design reveals that a union is more than the sum of its parts.
The Penta is a transpersonal energetic form that emerges when groups of 3 to 5 people are within auric contact. It has its own mechanics. In terms of the family unit, Penta themes dominate how a family unit functions.
The Business Penta is the same Penta mechanics applied to small business teams. The only difference is the terminology, relabeled for a business context.
The WA is a trans-auric form emerging from the combined energy field of nine or more people. The OC16 are the 6 core channels (and 10 sub-channels) the WA uses to condition individuals to function as specific 'cogs' serving the whole.
When you sleep, your entire design changes and reverts to a 5 centered design. Explore how this functions and affects your rest and regeneration.
Animals carry their own unique design and energetic blueprint. Mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, insects and arachnids can also specifically condition and be conditioned by humans.
Genetic Matrix offers multiple calculation systems that each produce a valid chart. Compare the differences and choose the method that fits your approach.
The standard system specified by Ra Uru Hu for Human Design. Based on the seasons and the vernal equinox, this is the most widely used system in Western astrology.
A standard celestial reference frame that freezes the mean equator and equinox at 12:00 Terrestrial Time on January 1, 2000. Removes Precession and Nutation.
Unlike the tropical zodiac, sidereal systems measure time or motion based on the position of the Earth relative to the distant, "fixed" stars, rather than relative to the Sun. To account for the Earth's precession of the equinoxes, Ayanamshas are used ensuring that the zodiac signs align with the actual, fixed constellations in the sky.
The Draconic system shifts the entire tropical zodiac so the North Node becomes 0° Aries. It reveals a soul-level chart connected to your karmic path.
True Sidereal astrology does not use a traditional, fixed Indian ayanamsa like Lahiri. Instead, it aligns with the actual, visible boundaries of the constellations. Popularized by Clementi and Kanatas using the IAU boundary system, while others use a Midpoint system. Genetic Matrix supports all of these methods.
13-Sign True Sidereal recognizes that the Sun passes through 13 constellations, including Ophiuchus (situated between Scorpio and Sagittarius), making the signs unequal in size. Scorpio is notably tiny with this method.
The best of both worlds for sidereal enthusiasts. Combines real-sky sidereal positions with Tropical-derived Human Design elements like Planets, Gates and Lines. This is unique to Genetic Matrix.
Genetic Matrix bridges Human Design and Astrology. Explore tools that bring additional depth to your chart readings.
The 12 Zodiac signs - plus the controversial True Sidereal 13th sign Ophiuchus. Explore each sign's element, modality, ruling planet, and core characteristics.
From the Sun through personal planets like Mercury and Mars to outer planets like Pluto, understand what each celestial body represents in your birth chart.
The 12 houses represent the specific areas or "stages" of life where different energies (planets) play out, acting as a map for your daily experiences and developmental themes. There are over a dozen recognised house systems all supported by Genetic Matrix - from Placidus and Koch to Whole Sign and Equal.
Aspects in astrology represent the geometric angles and relationships between planets. They reveal how planetary energies interact, influencing personality dynamics, potentials, and challenges through specific angular distances, such as 0°, 90°, or 120°.
Asteroids and Planetoids (eg Ceres) act as "messengers" or archetypal influencers, often linked to mythology, that provide deeper insights into relationships, personality, and life events. Common Asteroids and Planetoids include Ceres (nurturing), Pallas (wisdom), Juno (partnership), and Vesta (devotion).
Fixed stars are used in astrology to add specific, high-intensity, and often karmic, energetic nuances to natal charts, usually acting through close conjunctions with planets or angles like the Ascendant or Midheaven. Unlike planets, which signify personal or temporary, changing influences, these stationary stars provide enduring, often dramatic life themes, talents, or challenges.
Ayanamsha is the angular difference between the tropical zodiac (based on the seasons) and the sidereal zodiac (based on the fixed stars). It is also the "correction factor" used in Vedic astrology (Jyotish) to align the zodiac with the actual current positions of the stars, accounting for the precession of the equinoxes. Explore 50+ ayanamsha systems supported by Genetic Matrix, from Lahiri to custom.
Synastry is the branch of relationship astrology that compares two people's birth charts to determine their compatibility, strengths, and potential friction areas. It acts as a "cosmic map" that overlays one person's planets onto another's to show how their energies interact.
Astrological progressions are a technique used to forecast internal psychological development, personal evolution, and major life themes over time. Progressions represent how your birth chart evolves and matures from the inside out. Genetic Matrix supports Secondary Progressions and Solar Arc Directions.
The Sabian Symbols are a set of 360 distinct, metaphorical images used in astrology to add deep, intuitive, and symbolic meaning to a birth chart or to act as an oracle for guidance. They represent a "living language" of images rather than rigid, technical rules.
Charubel Degrees are a set of 360 unique, often fatalistic, symbolic interpretations for each individual degree of the zodiac, developed by the 19th-century Welsh clairvoyant and astrologer John Thomas (under the pseudonym Charubel).
La Volasfera is a set of 360 degree interpretations published by the astrologer Sepharial, offering vivid symbolic descriptions for each degree of the zodiac based on esoteric and divinatory tradition.
Astrology and Tarot are linked as sister systems of divination that use shared archetypal symbols, elements, and cosmic energy to reveal, analyze, and map personal life paths. Astrology offers the overarching cosmic "map" of planetary movements, while Tarot provides the specific, detailed "design" for individual situations.
Chinese astrology is an ancient system based on a 12-year lunar cycle, where each year corresponds to an animal sign (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig). It predicts personality and fate based on birth year, the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water), and Yin/Yang, forming a 60-year cycle. Genetic Matrix integrates Chinese astrology with Western systems for a multi-system view.
Vedic Astrology, known in Sanskrit as Jyotish, is an ancient Indian system that maps the positions of stars and planets at the exact moment of a person's birth to understand their life path, personality, and karma. Unlike Western astrology, it uses the sidereal zodiac (aligned with actual constellations) and relies heavily on the Moon sign and 27 lunar mansions (Nakshatras). Genetic Matrix supports North Indian, South Indian, and Eastern chart styles and methods.
