Human Design- the basics and why you should care

Human Design: What Even Is This and Why Should You Care?

Okay, so you’ve heard someone throw around the words “Human Design” and you’re thinking, “What is this, some kind of sci-fi personality test?” Well, sorta! Human Design is like astrology and a whole load of other woo woo had a mystical love child and then added a sprinkle of ancient wisdom just for kicks. It’s a tool for understanding yourself—your energy, how you’re wired to interact with the world, and maybe even why you’re still thinking about that awkward thing you said three years ago.

Sound fun? Let’s dive in.

So, What Is Human Design, Anyway?

Human Design is a self-discovery system that combines elements of astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, the chakra system, and quantum physics. (Yes, it’s a lot, but stay with me.) You input your birth date, time, and location, and voilà! You get this super cool-looking chart called your BodyGraph, which is basically a map of your energetic DNA.

Think of it like this: Human Design helps you figure out how to stop fighting against your natural flow and start living life like the awesome, unique being you are. It’s not about “fixing” yourself; it’s about leaning into what makes you you.

The 5 Types: AKA Your Cosmic Energy Squad

At the heart of Human Design are five energy types. Here’s a quick rundown:

1. Manifestors: The trailblazers. You’re here to kick off big ideas and inspire the rest of us. Your motto? "Don’t tell me what to do."

2. Generators: The energizer bunnies. When you’re doing something you love, your energy is contagious. Think, "Let’s make this fun!"

3. Manifesting Generators: A mash-up of Manifestor and Generator. You’re fast, multi-talented, and a little spicy. (We’re jealous.)

4. Projectors: The wise guides. You’re here to see things differently and show the rest of us how to work smarter, not harder. Just remember to rest, okay?

5. Reflectors: The unicorns. You’re rare (only 1% of the population!) and you mirror the vibes around you. Surround yourself with good energy, and you’ll thrive.

If this already sounds like your vibe, just wait. It gets juicier.

Why Should You Care About Human Design?

Here’s the thing: Life can feel like one big group project where no one told you your role. Are you supposed to lead? Follow? Bring snacks? Human Design gives you a cheat sheet. It helps you:

• Make decisions without second-guessing yourself (looking at you, overthinkers).

• Stop wasting energy on stuff that’s just not your 'thing'.

• Feel less like you’re swimming upstream all the time.

• Discover your life's purpose

• Your natural born gifts and talents

• Your ideal manifesting process

• Your ideal environment

• Your personality traits and energy

• AND A WHOLE LOT MORE

Basically, it’s like getting permission to be your unapologetic self. And who doesn’t want that?

A Quick Personal Example

When I first learned my Human Design type (spoiler, I'm a Generator), it was like someone handed me the instruction manual I never knew I needed. Suddenly, it made sense why I get so jazzed about certain things but totally drained by others. (Looking at you, boring admin tasks.) Human Design didn’t just tell me what I am—it showed me how to live in a way that feels natural and aligned.

And honestly? It’s a game-changer. I’m not saying it’ll solve all your problems, but it’ll definitely help you stop trying to be someone you’re not.

How to Get Started Without Overthinking It

1. Pull Your Chart: Get your Human Design report created (I can do this for you...)

2. Learn Your Type: Start with the basics: your energy type, strategy, and authority. Don’t get overwhelmed by all the symbols and lines—just focus on the big stuff first.

3. Experiment: Human Design isn’t about rules; it’s about trying things out and seeing what works for you. So go ahead, test it out, and see if it feels right.

4. Have Fun With It: This isn’t homework. It’s a tool to make your life easier and more fun. So, take what resonates, leave the rest, and don’t forget to laugh along the way.

   
   

Final Thoughts

Human Design isn’t about putting yourself in a box—it’s about busting out of the one you’ve been trying to squeeze into. Whether you’re a planner, a dreamer, or just someone who loves a good personality framework, there’s something in this system for you.

So, why not give it a shot? Worst case, you’ve got something cool to talk about at your next dinner party. Best case? You’ll learn how to work with your natural energy and start living life your way.
