They live life “colouring outside the lines” and as such, their life is never linear and predictable. They are the great multi-taskers of life, interested and passionate in a million things. When something does, however, their energy is palpable and infectious – everyone wants in. They are at their best when guided by their own gut instincts and feel frustrated when things don’t light their internal fires. Their energy is warm and attractive, especially when engaging in tasks that really light them up. They are here to be unapologetic as they create waves. They need freedom to thrive and don’t like to be controlled or contained. They are the ones with the big ideas who will start projects, movements and conversations based on their own internal urges. Their energy is big, impactful and spontaneous. Human Design is based on your birth details – that is: when, where and what exact time you were born. To understand it at a basic level, Hannah explains the five “energy types”, one of which you will broadly fit into. This information maps out your “body graph” (the equivalent of a natal chart in astrology) and forms the basis of your reading.Īs Human Design is really bespoke, your body graph possibilities are limitless, with over two billion potential configurations. Just like astrology, Human Design is based on your birth details – that is: when, where and what exact time you were born.
