Human Design Bodygraph.io Guide - Surface Level of a Chart

In this illustrated guide for the Human Design Chart from bodygraph.io you have basic info explained.The Design Side
You can see very well that the red side is called "design" and is related to the body. It is what others see in you and what you are unaware of. It is the tunnels in which magic happens that you can only recognize retrospectively.
The Personality Side
On the right side we have the personality, all in black. This is related to your mind, but also to your psychology. It is what you think you are. It is what you can consciously identify about yourself.
Astrological Symbols
In addition, you can very well recognize which of the astrological symbols is assigned to which planet or celestial aspect. Be aware that the sun and the earth already make up 70% of your being.
Hexagrams & Gates
What we can also see here are the numbers which we call gates or hexgrams. These are fixed potentials, aspects imprinted by the planets at your birth. Behind each gate is a "dot" and behind it another number. The number behind the gates is called a line. There are 6 lines for each gate. Behind the line you can see from time to time a triangle looking up or down or both at the same time. This is an indication of a fixation of the line - because these are also binary. if the triangle looks down, the line is in detriment. if it looks up, it is in exaltation. None of these is better or worse. By the way, a gate can be dormant if it is hanging from an open center, or actively hanging if it is hanging from a defined center.
Centers
A center is an energy hub that brings context, represents a kind of life dimension, and transmutes the inherent energies. A center can be defined consciously or unconsciously - thus colored. There are completely open centers, without any activation, and there are undefined centers, where at least one activation is present.
Defintion / Channels
For there to be a definition, i.e. a minimum of 2 defined centers, a channel must be defined. Please note that a channel has nothing to do with the gates. Here the principle of "the sum is greater than its parts" applies. Of course we have unconscious channels and conscious channels, where life-force is constantly flowing. And we can also recognize open channels, where we are receptive for specific energetics. Open does not mean empty! Open centers receive energy and amplify it. Therefore, we also find the not-self themes mainly in the open centers.

Human Design Bodygraph.io Guide - Surface Level of a Chart

The 9 Centers in Human DesignIn the graphic above you can see the Human Design Bodygraph with the nine different centers. These are like HUBS that guide and process energy - each with its own theme or quality. Understanding the centers is the first really useful task if you want to benefit from Human Design.By the way if you want that graphic as a poster you can just click on the image and will be redirected to a shop where you can buy it.As already described, there are undefined (open) and defined centers. An open center will always be receptive and amplify the theme of the center (if it comes from outside and is identified with it). A defined center is constant and reliable.Head Center - 70% Undefined

The Human Design Substructre

Human Design Bodygraph.io Guide - Surface Level of a Chart

This second illustrated infographic explains what the substructure in Human Design is all about.Once we have grasped the surface of the Human Design Bodygraph, we see that there are clearly more aspects that have not yet been discussed. In the graphic above, you can see four aspects that can be extremely valuable for understanding your chart.Variables
Those four aspects can be combined through the Tones and are called Variables - those are the 16 different Arrow configurations that can be displayed in a chart. Where a left looking arrow is always connected to the themes of active, focussed and strategic and the right looking arrow is always connected to themes of passive, peripher and receptive.
Digestion
Starting at the top left (red side) we see PHS Internal, or Dietary Regimen, which tells us how a person is best nourished. In other words, the substructure, color and tone can be used to determine firstly whether the brain is passive or active and secondly how the digestive system can best process the nutrients needed to properly nourish the brain. By the way, PHS is an abbreviation for Primary Health System which is a field of study in Human Design.
Environment
Below that, on the left (red) side, we find PHS External, or Environment, which tells us what environment (a specific quality of place or circumstance) needs to be present or correct to keep the body healthy. Ra Uru Hu says that this becomes especially important after the Saturn Return (around age 29). In other words, the color and tone tells us whether we are a passive body or an active body - whether we are the observer (relaxed) or the observed (in action). The correct environment is important for everyone and helps us to thrive in the best possible way.
Mental Motivation
On the top right-hand side we find RP Internal, or (mental) Motivation, which gives us information about how a person's mind is motivated to conceptualize. As with the other aspects, there are exactly 6 different modes, each of which has 2 different possibilities (active or passive). Here we can recognize whether a mind is strategic (active) or receptive (passive). Since the mind is never an inner authority, this is not about the motivation to do something, but about how the mind understands things - on what basis the mind thinks. This aspect is particularly important for people who have been experimenting for a long time and, according to Ra Uru Hu, is an essential tool for projectors. Incidentally, RP is an abbreviation for Rave Psychology, which is a field of study in human design.
Perspective/View
Below this, on the right-hand side, we find RP External, also known as perspective (view), which gives us information about how someone looks into or at the world. Every person has their own unique perspective on things and this aspect basically tells us whether someone is focused or peripheral in their view. Since the mind is coupled with the eyes, it is of course important to see correctly (as oneself). So we again have 6 different ways of looking at the world, each with 2 modes. A focused view tends to see what is in front of it but not what is in the periphery and a peripheral view is exactly the opposite.
If you want to learn more about the substructure and the respective aspects, I can recommend my Human Design Guide articles or the Crack Your Code Human Design foundational course.

____________________________

10. July 2024
Because there is a small display error in the new report, it is temporarily not available for download. But don't worry, it will be available again soon. Unfortunately the small bodygraph in the middle of the rave mandala were displayed with the Kiron and Lillith gates which is not correct. So if you have downloaded a report then it may be that the small bodygrpah in the mandala has drawn in wrong gates.
Otherwise we have reached the first milestone in the independent human design statistic and have now gathered over 1000 real charts. Thanks for that!More soon.

01. July 2024Today I have been working on various things in the background. Mainly on a new free report (PDF) that you can download. I didn't really like the old one anymore, even though there were a few more words in it. So I've made everything cleaner and clearer and this PDF report should now be available to everyone. You can now find everything there at a glance and no longer have to laboriously take photos of your chart or the information individually with your phone. So that we can save paper, there are only 2 DINA4 pages - for now. I am open to constructive criticism and if you have any ideas, please write to me.Something new is that you can now also see your Rave Mandala in the report! This is especially interesting if you want to take a closer look at your chart or observe the transits (the movement of the planets) in relation to your own chart. I also continue to collect and clean up bodygraph data that you enter so that we can eventually use the interactive LIVE Statistics as a foundation for research. There have also been small changes to make it easier to display on the site. Apart from that I am working on a first newsletter which I would like to send you...Have fun with the new report!• New Report Layout

25. June 2024I wish you a wonderful day. There is good news. Not only has another €5 been donated via ko-fi.com/bodygraph, but it gets even better... My API provider wants to support me and so bodygraph will continue to exist for the time being. I'm really happy about that, because I wouldn't have been able to keep it alive financially out of my own pocket for long. The service remains free and we can continue to use it - that's something to celebrate!To mark the occasion, I have a few updates for you. Since I have recently introduced a mandatory email field, which allows bodygraph.io to offer its own (anonymous) real-chart statistics for everyone, I have implemented this for you. This means there is now a page that shows you a mostly up-to-date statistic based on real data about Human Design, similar to jovian archive statistics. Currently it shows the types, inner authority and profile distribution. There are still less than 1000 real charts, but this will change soon. The more people use this site, the more accurate a picture we will get and the more independent a study we will have.I've also put together a few basics about Human design to help beginners get to grips with their chart. It is a bit much all at once when you see it for the first time. For me it was like hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt at first. Anyway... there is now a new tab called "Basics" with some illustrations and explanatory text. Every now and then I try to update or expand it.Otherwise there are only minor bugfixes and adjustments.• CSS Fixes
