A while ago someone pointed out Human Design to me and I had my chart calculated online.
That way I found out I am a Manifesting Generator.
I didn't really dive into it beyond that until my son asked me about my birthtime so he could calculate my HD chart.
He knew a lot more about it than I and after that I decided to find out a bit more about my chart.
I was blown away! The depth of it, what it came up with, wow!
You basically get a chart that is drawn over a human form with lots of lines and numbers, like this:
I found a website that gave information on all that:
The coloured sections are the energy centres.
The numbers are called "gates" and they represent options, qualities etc.
There are 64 total, but you won't have all of these activated as that would be too much of a good thing.
I counted mine, I have 23 activated.
From what I could work out (I didn't read everything as it's a complex system) you have a line running from 1 gate to the next, representing a specific learning path. What that path is about depends on the numbers of the gate (the quality/options/theme of both).
If I got it right, when a path has been mastered, it's fully coloured. If not, then you're busy with it.
Now there are red & black lines. Red is subconscious, black you are aware of.
I have one longer path/line that is totally mastered, but it's red. So I guess I'm not fully aware of that.
I also have a few lines that are totally filled but both black AND red. Not sure what that means.
I did read that some themes/qualities can have been activated during previous lives, colouring the gates both black & red. I'm guesstimating it's the same for a line like that.
In any case, I can totally recommend doing your chart (free online) and reading up on the meaning.
There's much more to it than the Gates & lines, you also have your Incarnation Cross, inner authority and so on.
I had one explanation that brought tears to my eyes as it was so accurate and hit a bit of a sore spot.
A number of other things were both eye-opening and confirmation of what I already knew.
GENERAL:
there are 5 types, although some online stick to 4:
- generator
- reflector
- projector
- manifestor
- manifesting generator
And if you know more about it, feel free to share.
