What is Human Design?
A modern synthesis of ancient modalities including Astrology and the I Ching, Human Design provides a precise blueprint of your unique aura.
You are made of energy – it’s the fabric of your being. This field of energy – your aura – extends several feet beyond your physical body, interacting with other auras. This is why we have chemistry, or not, with the people we encounter in our lives. Human Design goes a long way to describe the mechanics of this phenomenon.
Understanding how your energy operates empowers you to get out of your head and make correct decisions, which naturally aligns you to your Purpose.
At its core, Human Design offers a seemingly simple method for engaging with life and making decisions. It assumes that we are each totally unique, and that it is precisely this uniqueness which allows for humanity’s continual evolution.
On a personal level, being true to one’s design can propel us towards our highest potential. It is about slowing down, paying attention, and discovering who we really are and why we are here. It is about easing into one’s destiny.

The image below is the Rave Mandala, with the ancient I Ching hexagrams around the outer ring, the corresponding gates on the middle ring, and the twelve Zodiac signs on the inner ring.
