Part 1 · Basics & History
What this part is about
The first part lays the foundations: what is Human Design, and what does a bodygraph show? You will get to know the three keys — type, strategy and authority — and see who will find the system worthwhile and how to place it.
Then you go through the bodygraph step by step: nine centers, 64 gates and 36 channels, black and red as conscious and unconscious activations, and how channels create definition. You will see how your chart is calculated from your date, time and place of birth — two calculations (Personality and Design), 26 activations, the Swiss Ephemeris — and what single, split, triple and quadruple definition mean.
The second block tells the story: Ra Uru Hu and the origins of the system in 1987 on Ibiza, the four roots — I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah and the chakra system — and the neutrino concept, with a sober look at what is physically proven and what remains interpretation.
