Human Design Chart Calculator

A Human Design chart, or BodyGraph, maps your birth data onto a nine-center diagram to show your Type, Strategy, Authority, Profile, and Incarnation Cross. It reads two moments, your birth and a Design point 88 degrees of solar arc earlier, and reads best as a mirror for self-understanding rather than a forecast of events.

For the background, the four core Types, and the five labels commonly used in guides, read the guide to the Human Design Types.

Your free result includes a BodyGraph overview and every chart layer listed below, all read from your birth data:

• •Energy Type and Strategy, the headline of your chart.
• •Inner Authority, a decision practice to test.
• •Profile and its two lines, the role you play.
• •Definition, how your centers connect.
• •Incarnation Cross, a life theme from your Suns and Earths.
• •All nine centers, defined and open states.
• •The thirty-six channels, which ones are switched on.
• •Every activation, across Personality and Design.

Creating a free account is optional. It keeps your birth data ready for Augurine's traditional astrology chart and timing tools.

Your BodyGraph is built from two snapshots of the sky. The first is your birth moment, which gives your conscious, Personality activations, drawn in black. The second is your Design point, the instant the Sun sat exactly 88 degrees of arc earlier, roughly 88 days before you were born, which gives your unconscious, Design activations, drawn in red.

At each of those two moments, thirteen bodies, the Sun and Earth, the Moon, both lunar nodes, and the planets, land in one of 64 gates and one of its six lines. When both gates of a channel are switched on, that channel completes and colors in the two centers it connects. Which centers end up defined is what sets your Type, Authority, and Definition.

The positions come from the same of-date engine behind every chart on the site, the apparent positions astronomers and professional software use, rather than a lookup table. Your conscious Sun and Earth and your Design Sun and Earth form the four gates of your Incarnation Cross.

Because a fast point like the Moon can change gate within a single day, an exact birth time gives the most reliable chart. If you are not sure of yours, see how to find your birth time.

Your Type is the headline of your chart. It comes from which centers are defined and whether a motor center connects to the Throat, and it points to one Strategy for meeting life with less resistance. Your result above names your Type, Strategy, and Authority.

The original system defines four core Types and treats Manifesting Generator as part of the Generator Type. Many current guides display Manifesting Generator as a fifth label for easier comparison. Read the guide to the Human Design Types.

Authority is the decision practice Human Design assigns from the defined centers. The system checks them in a fixed order: Emotional, then Sacral, Splenic, Ego, Self-Projected, Mental, and finally Lunar for Reflectors.

A defined Solar Plexus points to observing an emotional wave before deciding, while a defined Sacral points to the gut response in the moment. Treat the assigned Authority as an experiment and compare its guidance with your actual decision process over time.

Human Design and Gene Keys run on the same 64 gates and the same birth-plus-Design calculation, so the underlying numbers match. What differs is the use. Human Design reads your gates as Type, Strategy, and Authority, a guide for decisions in the moment. Gene Keys reads the same gates as a Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi to contemplate over years.

Both calculators on this site share one engine, so your gates line up exactly between them. The four gates of your Incarnation Cross also connect to your lunar nodes, if you want to follow that thread through your chart.
