If you’re new to Human Design, one of the first things you’ll want to do is generate your chart.
Your Human Design chart, sometimes called a bodygraph, is the starting point for understanding your Type, Strategy, Authority, Profile, and the rest of your design.
The good news is that generating your chart is simple.
What you need to generate your Human Design chart
To generate your free Human Design chart, you need:
- your birth date
- your birth time
- your birth location
These three details are used to calculate your chart.
The more accurate your birth time is, the better.
Why birth time matters
Human Design uses specific chart calculations based on the exact moment and place of your birth.
That means birth time can affect parts of your chart, including your Type, Profile, Authority, and more detailed chart elements.
If you do not know your exact birth time, try to find your birth certificate or ask a family member if they know it.
Step 1: Find a Human Design chart generator
The first step is to use a Human Design chart generator.
A chart generator is the tool that creates your bodygraph using your birth details.
Step 2: Enter your birth details
Enter:
- your full birth date
- your birth time
- your birth city or birth location
Double-check everything before submitting, especially the time.
Step 3: Generate the chart
Once you submit your information, the chart generator will create your Human Design chart.
You should then be able to see:
- your Type
- your Strategy
- your Authority
- your Profile
- your Centers
- your bodygraph
Step 4: Start with the basics
Do not worry if the chart looks confusing at first.
The best place to begin is with:
- your Type
- your Strategy
- your Authority
- your Profile
That is enough to give you a strong beginner foundation.
What if you don’t know your birth time?
If you do not know your exact birth time, you can still explore Human Design, but your chart may be less accurate.
If possible, try to:
- check your birth certificate
- ask a parent or family member
- look for official records
Accurate birth information helps the chart make more sense.
What to do after you generate your chart
Once your chart is generated, your best next steps are:
- find your Type
- find your Authority
- learn your Strategy
- read a beginner guide
- explore your Centers and Profile over time
You do not need to understand everything in one day.
Human Design gets easier when you start simple
A lot of people get overwhelmed because they see the chart and think they need to decode every shape, number, and line at once.
You do not.
The best way to begin is to generate your chart, learn the basics, and build from there.
What to do next
If you have not generated your chart yet, generate your Human Design Chart.
If you already have your chart, your next step is to learn:
- your Type
- your Strategy
- your Authority
Human Design becomes much more useful once you move from just looking at the chart to understanding how it applies to your real life.
