## About the chart

What is a Human Design chart? +

A diagram of nine centers, 36 channels and 64 gates. It is built from the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets at the moment of birth and once more about three months earlier.

What do black and red mean on the chart? +

Black is calculated for the moment of birth, red for the moment the Sun was 88 degrees earlier, about three months before birth.

How does a defined center differ from an open one? +

A defined center is colored: an active channel joins it to another center, and it works in you all the time. An open center is white: there you feel other people more strongly.

How many types are there? +

Five: Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor and Reflector. The type depends on which centers are joined to each other.

Can the chart be calculated without a birth time? +

Yes. We show every version of the chart for that day and the hours when it changes. Type and authority are often the same all day, while the profile and some gates may change.

   

## About the report and payment

Do I need my exact birth time? +

It helps. Without a time, we show every version of the chart for that day and the hours when it changes. In the report, sections that depend on the time are marked separately.

Who writes the report? +

The report text is composed by an automated system from the exact calculation of your chart and our own library of descriptions. Before delivery, an automatic check compares every fact with the calculation.

How is the chart calculated? +

Planet positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, and the calculation runs in your browser. Your birth data is not stored unless you save the chart or buy a report.

What if the text contradicts my chart? +

We rewrite it for free. If the rewritten text still contradicts the chart, we refund the full amount.

Are you an official Human Design provider? +

No. We are not affiliated with Jovian Archive and are not a licensee. Human Design is offered here as a tool for self-reflection. It is not medical, psychological or financial advice.
