How to use bodygraph.io: how to create a chart, what each screen and button does, the calculators, the plans and your account. Still stuck? Write to [email protected], one person answers.
The workbench for people who work with charts: Report Studio, Teacher Studio, your Own Calculator, the Text Library and your Rave I Ching Texts, all in one sidebar group. Click the group title for an overview page with one card per tool. Everything you write there belongs to your account and follows you between devices.
Yes. Type them straight into the birthplace field, for example 48.1372, 11.5756. The field shows the spot it found and the nearest town, so you can check at a glance that it is the right place, and then you create the chart as usual. For the BodyGraph itself a few miles make no difference. The exact spot only matters for the houses and the zodiac positions.
Open New Chart, then type in a name, the birth date, the exact birth time, and the birthplace. Pick the place from the list that opens as you type, so the app knows exactly which town you mean, then press the generate button. Your BodyGraph appears right away, ready to explore.
You need the birth date, the exact birth time down to the minute, and the birthplace. The birth time carries the most weight, since it drives the Profile and the Authority, so it is worth getting as precise as you can. Pick the birthplace from the list and the rest is handled for you.
You can still generate a chart. Enter an approximate time such as 12:00 and everything calculates, but the birth time drives the Profile, the Authority, and several gates, so those details may shift once you confirm the real time. The most reliable sources are the birth certificate, hospital records, or a parent’s memory. If the time stays unknown, the paid Birth Time Rectification service can narrow it down from your dated life events.
Click the small pencil icon next to the chart name to reopen the birth details and correct the date, time, or place on the spot. This is the fastest way to fix a typo or to test a corrected birth time. If the chart was already in your Library, saving the edit replaces the old version.
Yes. Charts open in tabs across the top of the chart view, so you can keep a few people side by side and switch between them with a single click. It is handy for comparing family members, or for holding a chart open while you read up on a gate. On a phone, the same open charts appear as a compact tab strip you can tap through, with a small close button on the active one. How many stay open at once depends on your plan: 3 on Beginner, 6 on Student and 9 on Professional.
Calculating a chart and looking at it is free, no account needed. The free Beginner account adds your Library, the Dashboard, the Wave Tracker and your own embed. The deeper layers live in the Student and Professional plans, and a few things are their own purchase: readings, the Birth Time Rectification, and the Gate and Audio Reports. The pricing page lays it all out.
They are two separate places in the menu. New Chart is always the empty form for entering birth data, so you can start fresh anytime. Chart View holds the charts you have open, with tabs to switch between them; it appears in the menu as soon as a chart exists and stays there while any chart is open. Every red plus button, in the toolbar, in the mobile bottom bar, and in the Library, leads to the New Chart form without closing the charts you already have open.
On a computer, click or Tab into a segment: the old digits turn gray and each digit you type replaces one in red, jumping to the next field automatically; leaving a field without typing restores what was there. On a phone, the date and time are picked with scroll wheels, and if scrolling to a far away year feels slow, double-tap a wheel to type the number directly with the keyboard. The wheel comes back once the number is complete.
Open your own chart and answer yes to the question whether it is you, or set it in the Library or in your Profile. From then on the app knows which chart is yours and uses it for the Dashboard, for the Collective Map and for everything personal. It never changes by itself: generating another chart does not move it, an import cannot overwrite it, and a Dream Rave or Mammalian version of you can never become your profile chart, since those are different views, not different people. It follows your account, so it is the same on every device.
While a chart is open, click the save icon in the toolbar (it turns into a green check when done). Saved charts live in your Chart Library, so you can reopen them anytime without re-entering the birth details. Saving needs a free account so your charts follow you across devices.
Yes. Each saved chart can carry labels, which makes it easy to group people such as family, clients, or friends, and from Student on you can filter the Library by any label. The Library also sorts by chart kind automatically: normal, composite, Mammalian, Dream Rave, cycle, and Penta charts each get their own filter chip.
Pin the charts you open most and they stay lifted to the top of your Library, always within reach. It is the quickest way to keep your own chart, or a handful of close people, one tap away.
Plain name search works on every plan. On Professional the search box takes much more. Separate several conditions with a comma and every one of them has to hold. Type a few letters and suggestions appear underneath: press Enter to keep exactly what you typed, or use the arrow keys or Tab to pick a suggestion, which turns it into a chip. Nothing is ever applied for you, so a person called Manfred stays Manfred and never becomes Manifestor. Short codes: "d:" for defined centers, "n:" not defined (any), "u:" undefined, "o:" completely open, joined with a plus, so "d:g+heart+spleen" means all three defined. "t:", "a:" and "def:" ask for Type, Authority and Definition exactly, which matters because plain "sacral" also finds every chart with a defined Sacral center. A minus in front of anything excludes it. Gates and channels work too: "g46.1", "g46", "c34-10", "c34", and "sun-g46.1" for one planet in one gate. A full example: "t:projector, d:g+heart+spleen, hot" finds Projectors with those three centers defined whose digestion is Thirst. "x:" asks for the Incarnation Cross, by any part of its name, so "x:sphinx" finds both Sphinx crosses and "x:right angle" every Right Angle. And you can ask HOW MANY instead of which: "d:>=6" for at least six defined centers, "channels:<=1" for at most one channel, "gates:=20" for exactly twenty. The same four center letters work there, so "o:>=3" means at least three completely open centers.
They are not the same thing, and the filter offers four states because a white center comes in two kinds. Defined means the center is colored, a full channel runs through it. Undefined means the center is white but still carries at least one gate, so it takes in and amplifies whatever comes from outside through those gates. Completely open means white with no gate at all, nothing to hold on to, the purest conditioning field there is. And Not defined (any) is simply the umbrella over the last two: both kinds of white count. So filtering for Undefined gives you fewer charts than Not defined (any), because the completely open ones drop out. In the search box the same four are "d:", "u:", "o:" and "n:".
Click the crossed-out eye at the top left of your Library and switch on Hide Names. Every name blurs: in the list, in The Field and in the Connection Ranking. Want some charts to stay readable, your family for example? Give them a Tag and pick that Tag in the same box. And the blur is not a veil over the real name. While a name is hidden it never reaches the screen at all, so no screenshot and no zoom can bring it back. The switch is saved on this device.
It ranks every chart in your Library by the Channels it forms with you: Electromagnetic, Companionship, Dominance and Compromise, plus the total and the Centers you would define together that neither of you has alone. Open it with the bar icon at the top of your Library, and click the icon again to get back to the list. Choose "at least" a number to keep only the strong connections, click a column to sort by it, click it again to flip the order. CHANGE lets you rank from somebody else. Every row opens as a Partner Chart, as an unsaved draft, so nothing lands in your Library unless you save it. Part of Pro, or of Student with the Partner Chart module.
Beginner holds 9 charts, Student 60, and Professional as many as you like. The Infinite Library add-on opens unlimited charts on any plan. Nothing is ever deleted when you sit over a limit: every chart stays saved, and opening more than the plan carries is what asks for the upgrade.
Click the share icon in the chart toolbar and a link is copied to your clipboard. Anyone who opens it sees the same bodygraph in their browser without setting anything up. On mobile, sharing sits inside the combined share and export menu at the top of the chart.
Yes. Tick the charts you want, or hold Shift and click to select a whole range in one go, then act on them together. With 3 to 5 people selected you can spin up a Penta Field straight from the selection. You can also edit a chart’s birth details right inside the Library through the pencil icon, without opening it first, and long labels now collapse to the first few with a small counter you can expand.
Yes, once you are signed in the cloud is the source of truth: your Library, chart tags, notes, and your saved Partner, Cycle, and Penta collections all follow your account to every device. Delete something on one device and it stays deleted everywhere. Deleting a Partner or Penta entry never deletes the charts inside it, only the pairing itself.
Almost always the birthplace was matched to the wrong town, for example a city name that exists in several countries. Open the chart in the Library and use the Fix imported chart time zones button, and the app looks the place up again in the right country. You can also edit the chart and pick the birthplace from the list yourself.
Your own Library as a printed book: your charts laid out page by page, ready to hold. The button sits in the Chart Library and it wants at least 15 charts. The printing itself is still being built, so today it shows you what it will be. Part of Student and Professional.
Pick several charts and The Field lays them side by side: what everybody in the group carries, what nobody carries, and where the group defines itself. It is the fastest way to read a family or a team without building a Penta. Part of Student and Professional.
A file imports from Student on, up to the 60 charts that plan holds. A whole client database needs Professional, because only there the Library has no ceiling. The import runs on our server: start it, close the tab, come back later, and it picks up where it stopped.
A board where you COMPOSE a chart instead of calculating one, for teaching. Start empty, from a template (a circuit, a center with all its gates, a Type, an Authority, a definition), from one of your saved charts, or from the sky right now. Click gates on and off, color each side the way you want, then either export the picture or take the whole board onto the present stage with pen, laser, spotlight, zoom and notes.
Click a gate to walk it through Design, then Personality, then both, then off again. Right-click clears it in one go. Click a channel to set or clear both of its gates at once, and click a center to force it defined even with no channel in it. The highlighted row under Sides & Colors decides which side new clicks land on, and its swatches decide the color. Under Bodygraph Look you can also show ONE center on its own, with or without its half channels, and keep it open (white) even with a gate in it. Press Esc to clear the board, Cmd+Z to undo. The ? button at the top right explains every control with its icon.
Yes, and that is what it is for: courses, workshops, live readings, slides, handouts for your students and social media posts, paid teaching included. Two conditions: the bodygraph.io mark stays in the image, and where a link is possible you link to bodygraph.io. Printed books and products need a Pro account, name bodygraph.io as a source on a page of its own, and keep the mark in every image. What is not allowed: selling the images, passing them on for money, image packs, templates or card decks, feeding them to a chart generator of your own, and removing or cropping away the mark. The images are not to be edited afterwards either, with three exceptions: black and white for a black-and-white book, scaling, and cropping for a purpose such as showing a single center. Unsure? Write to [email protected].
Yes. On the present stage you can write text labels straight onto the chart (T, then click where the text should stand; the bar above formats color, bold, italic, capitals, alignment and size, also for a single selected word), draw on it, circle things and point at them with arrows, and then save the whole thing under a name. A saved session brings back the board, the colors, the drawing and every label. You find them behind the bookmark in the left rail. Labels stay attached to the chart when you zoom or pan.
Switch the stage to the Rave Mandala (M). The outer ring carries all 384 lines. Click a body in the dataset first and then a line cell, and that body lands on that gate and line in one click. Click a line cell with nothing selected and just that line is marked on the current side, no planet attached, for showing a single line of a gate. Advanced turns on by itself so you see Color, Tone and Base. J switches the wheel from numbers to hexagrams.
The Teacher Studio is part of Professional, and on Professional there is no export limit.
Exactly what the board shows. With the datasets switched on, the picture carries the chart in the middle, the Design column on the left and the Personality column on the right, each planet with its glyph and gate.line in the color you chose, and the Variable arrows sitting between Sun and Earth and between the two Nodes. Columns only appear for a side that has gates on the board, so a transit exports with one column on the right. Background transparent, white or your own color, twice the screen resolution, no footer, just the small bodygraph.io mark inside the chart.
A builder for your own PDF reports: drop in your texts once, place the chart pieces where you want them, and every client gets their personal PDF from it with one click. It is part of Professional. Whatever you built stays saved in your account, even while you are on another plan, and opens again the moment you are on Professional.
In the Report Studio, the Codes panel on the right starts with Own Texts. Type to search, click a code, and it sits on the page as a placeholder such as the Type text or the Authority name. When you print for a client, each placeholder becomes the text that matches their chart. Page Setup decides which library and which Rave I Ching set the report reads from, so a German template can pull from your German texts.
Yes. Under Page Setup every template has a Language. Set it to German and the built-in parts translate themselves: gate and channel names, the I Ching names, planet labels, the incarnation cross, the property rows and the gate and channel lists. Your own texts are printed exactly as you wrote them, so pick the library and Rave I Ching set in that language right there in Page Setup. English stays the default.
Yes. Under My Studio there is the Transit Widget: the sky right now as a bodygraph with the planet list, no form, and it updates itself. It comes in two looks: Dashboard, the bodygraph with the planet list, and Mandala, the wheel of the 64 gates with planet markers, zodiac signs, quarter labels and the bodygraph in the middle. You need a site key from Own Calculator first, it fills itself in. Choose the chart style, the theme, the heading, progress bars with the time to the next gate, gate and line keynotes, the chart background, classic center colors, date and time, and the colors of centers, channels, numbers and bars. Copy the code and paste it into your page. Part of Student and Professional, or of the Light White Label add-on.
A section right under Gates with three tabs: Melancholy, Fear and Love. It lists only the gates your chart carries, with the planet and line that activate each one in red or black. Gates sitting in a defined center are greyed out, the others are the themes that surface through other people. Tap a gate for a short read. Advanced mode, part of Professional, and you can drag the section wherever you like.
Yes. Add the contents page in the Report Studio and it lists your pages with their numbers when the PDF is printed.
A personal PDF, usually around 35 pages: every one of YOUR active Gates gets its own page with a surreal illustration, keynotes, its Godhead and amino acid, plus your chart sheet and your personal Rave Mandala. Pages for gates you do not have simply are not in it. It is built fresh from your birth data the moment you download it. You find it under your chart in the PDF menu, next to the free report.
Open your chart, click the PDF menu and pick the report with the price tag. It is $39, and the plan discount comes off by itself at checkout: 30% on Professional, 10% on Student. You confirm that the birth data is correct, pay by card, and the download starts right away. You also get an email with a download link that works for 3 days without logging in. After that, the report stays in your account forever: download it any time from the PDF menu or under Profile, My Purchases.
Your purchase belongs to the birth data you confirmed at checkout, because the whole report is calculated from them. Changing the name is fine, the report simply follows. Different birth data is a different chart and therefore its own purchase. If you discover a genuine mistake in your birth data after buying, write to us and we will move your purchase to the corrected chart.
Yes. Open their chart and buy the report there, each chart is its own purchase. Professionals often add it to a reading as a bonus. The plan discount is taken off at checkout by itself: 30% on Professional, 10% on Student.
No. The report is a digital product that is generated for you personally, so all sales are final. If you are unsure whether your birth data is right, check it before buying or write to us first. If anything goes wrong technically, we will always sort it out.
Half an hour of spoken Human Design about your own chart: your Type, your aura and strategy, and your Inner Authority, recorded by Talis. It sits right under your Chart Properties with chapters you can jump between, so you can listen while walking instead of reading. The first 30 seconds play for free before you decide.
It is 18 dollars, once, for this chart. Module 1 covers Type and Authority. More modules are being recorded (Profile, Centers, Channels) and each will be its own purchase, so you only ever pay for what you want to hear.
The unlock belongs to one chart, and it follows the mechanics rather than the name. Change your name, your birth date or your birth time and it stays open as long as your Type and Authority stay the same, because it is still your recording. If a correction genuinely changes your Type or your Authority it is a different recording, so it locks. Write to us in that case and we will move your unlock across.
From Student on you can hide it under Profile, Preferences, and it disappears by itself for professional profiles. Nothing is lost by hiding it: anything you bought is stored with your account and comes back the moment you switch it on again. There is no download, it plays on the site only.
Under your chart sits the Time Explorer. Grab the red marker and drag it, and the bands stay still while the marker moves, so you can see exactly where you are in the day. Every position redraws the chart above you live. Three ways to steer it: drag the marker, use the left and right arrow keys for five minute steps, or click the big time and type an exact one, Enter applies it and Escape cancels. The dashed line is your real birth time and Recenter always brings you back to it. The window covers twelve hours either side of your birth, so a birth at 23:53 can explore past midnight. Nothing you do here is saved. The header above keeps showing your real birth time, and if you want a different time kept, you enter it yourself in Edit. Part of Student and Professional.
The same person, six times of the same day, side by side. It shows how much the chart moves while the day passes, which is the honest answer to how much an uncertain birth time really matters. The charts mirror whatever you have switched on in your main chart: your style, your colors, your arrows. You can pick the hour the row starts at, between midnight and four in the morning, so a birth early in the morning or late at night still shows its changes. And there is a second mode: instead of six fixed hours it shows the real turning points of that day, the exact minutes when Type, Authority, Definition or Profile actually switch. It needs a wide screen, so on a phone it stays hidden.
When the palette toggle on the chart is on, every Channel is colored by the Circuit it belongs to: blue Understanding, red Sensing, green Knowing, dark green Centering, purple Integration, yellow Ego, orange Defense. Hover the toggle and a small color key opens right there. And yes, the palette is yours: in Profile under Chart Colors, on the Circuits tab, pick your own color per Circuit or paste a hex code. Your palette follows you onto every chart in the app, the Mandala, Cycle and Partner included, and Default brings back ours.
On a desktop screen, yes. Each section has a grip on its left edge, hold it and drag the section where you want it. The order is remembered and applies to every chart you open, and so does which sections you left open or closed. It is worth doing once: most people only ever read three of them, and this puts those three on top.
The bodygraph sits in the middle, with the red Design planets (calculated roughly 88 days before birth) on the left and the black Personality planets (the birth moment) on the right. Hover any gate, channel, or center for a quick explanation, click a gate to open its detail panel, and click a center that carries activations to zoom into Center Focus, an isolated view of just that center. Below the chart, every property is broken down: Type, Strategy, Authority, Profile, and the rest of the mechanics.
The Rave Mandala view draws your bodygraph inside the wheel of all 64 gates, with your activated gates highlighted and small planet markers showing where each activation sits. The wheel combines the gate ring, the twelve zodiac signs, and the four Quarters; the hexagram toggle swaps gate numbers for I Ching hexagrams. In Advanced mode, two checkboxes add the 16 Godheads and each gate’s amino acid to the outer rim. The zoom buttons resize the wheel, and the image export menu can download the whole Mandala as a PNG. The hexagram toggle is part of Student and Professional, the Godheads and amino acids are part of Professional.
The A switch (the small slider with the letter A riding on the knob) turns on the deeper dataset. It is part of Professional. You get the design birth date, line level detail in the planet columns, and the Magic Square, Godheads, and Amino Acids checkboxes. Press A on your keyboard to flip it, and set Advanced as your default under Profile, Preferences, Default detail.
Click the moon button at the bottom of the sidebar to switch between light and dark. For the full choice, open Profile, Preferences, Appearance and pick Light, Dark, or Auto; Auto follows your device’s system setting. On mobile, the theme switch lives in the More menu.
Click the image icon in the chart toolbar to open the download menu. You can export a Full overview (the chart with your data and details), a Chart only PNG of just the bodygraph, or the Rave Mandala as a PNG with your chart in the center. Two checkboxes let you include the circuit colors and your birth date and place in the file.
Yes, and one of them is free. Signed in, the PDF icon in the chart toolbar opens a small menu. The free Bodygraph.io Report has two pages: the bodygraph with your key details, then your Rave Mandala. On Professional the Classic Report for Clients sits right below it. The Personal Illustrated Gates Report is a purchase of its own, and once you own it for a chart it downloads again from the same menu. Every PDF is built from the open chart, so it always matches what you see.
The sticky note icon on the chart toolbar opens a small notepad tied to that exact chart, with basic bold, italic, and underline formatting. Notes save on your device, and when you are signed in they also sync to your account, so they follow you across devices.
Clicking any channel in the bodygraph opens the channel panel: its name and keynote, a chip showing which circuit it belongs to (outlined in the circuit color, with its family, for example Knowing and Individual), the channel essence, and BOTH of its gates in full detail, each with its activations, line keynotes, and a link to the full gate page. On the four integration gates 10, 20, 34, and 57, small chips at the top let you switch between every defined channel running through the gate you clicked.
Below the chart, click any property card, such as Type, Strategy, Authority, Signature, Not-Self, Definition, or Profile, and it expands in place with a short explanation of what that property means for this chart. The Incarnation Cross card does the same with a description written for your exact cross, matched to your angle and gates out of all 192 variants, and the four Variables cards expand too. Everything stays on the page, no jumping away.
The ephemeris strip on the Dashboard and in Neutrino Weather shows where the planets are moving over the next 48 hours: each row is a planet, each block a gate it passes through, with the exact switch times. It is the fastest way to see which transit gates are coming, without opening a separate tool. The Lunar Lab builds on the same live transit data. The full 48 hour range is part of Professional; Student shows up to 24 hours, and on the free account the strip stays blurred.
At the bottom of the Statistics section on your chart page, in the zodiac wheel. It shows all 12 houses with the Ascendant and the MC, and a small table counts how many of your activations sit in each house. Under the wheel you see which birthplace was used, so you can check it. The wheel with the houses is part of Professional. If you only want the house number next to each activation, open the Astrology menu on the chart page and switch on Houses. That part comes with Student.
Houses need a birthplace. If the wheel says it could not find the place, edit the chart with the pencil next to its name and pick the birthplace from the list again, or type its coordinates into the field. Very far north or south, beyond the polar circles, the usual houses cannot be drawn: the wheel then uses another house system and says so, and the house numbers next to the activations are left out.
Every line of every gate carries a short summary written in plain language: you see them in the Knowledge Base gate pages and in the panel that opens when you click a gate on your chart. They are summaries, not the original Rave I Ching. If you own the Rave I Ching, upload your line texts under Profile, Preferences, Rave I Ching texts, and your Exaltation and Detriment texts appear right next to the summaries, following your account everywhere.
On the Rave I Ching page, and you need no file for it: open a gate, and each of its six lines gives you a box for Exaltation and one for Detriment, plus a heading field on the lines that print the short blue sentence. Type them or paste them straight out of your PDF, we clean up the hard line breaks a page leaves behind. It saves itself while you write, and it follows your account, so you can start on the laptop and carry on on the phone. The page follows the book, so a field only shows up where there is something to copy: the blue sentence exists on 236 of the 384 lines, two lines carry no Exaltation and five carry no Detriment. You reach the page under My Studio in the sidebar. If you would rather work in a file, the JSON template and the upload are still there, right beside it. You can keep up to three sets side by side, say the original and your own translation, or three languages: switch between them on that page or in your Profile, and whichever set is active is the one the app shows everywhere.
Yes. Press N on the chart page (or flip Data pill boxes in Settings) and the boxes behind the Design and Personality columns disappear, leaving just the values for a calmer look. Hover a row and its box comes back so you never lose the click targets. Highlight boxes from filters stay visible either way.
Those are the Variables: four arrows derived from the tones of your Design Sun, Design Node, Personality Sun, and Personality Node. Tones 1 to 3 point left, 4 to 6 point right, and together they describe Digestion, Environment, Motivation, and Perspective. They show in Advanced mode, can be kept always on via Settings (Always show Variables), and toggle with W inside Present mode. The Variables tab in the Knowledge Base explains what each arrow means.
Two deeper layers of the mandala. Each gate maps to one of the 16 Godheads (the mythological faces of the wheel) and to an amino acid in the genetic code parallel. Your own Godhead, taken from your Personality Sun, sits as a card next to Purpose on the chart page. In Present mode, G overlays the Godheads on the wheel and X the amino acids; O switches the center colors.
Press P on the chart page (or the presentation icon next to the notes button) for a fullscreen reading stage, made for live sessions: just the chart on a calm background, with everything you need in one panel on the left. Show the datasets with gate and line keynotes, switch to the Rave Mandala (the wheel draws large around the bodygraph), toggle background, style and circuit colors. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, R resets. Shift toggles the pen (colors, widths, self-fading ink, Backspace clears everything), L is a laser pointer with three sizes, and clicking a center spotlights it. There is a private session notepad (T), your presenter name and label sit bottom right (click to edit), N or H hides the client name, and the controls tuck themselves away when your mouse rests. Your drawings, notes and setup are saved with each chart, and leaving asks for confirmation first. Press ? inside for the full hotkey list. Part of Professional.
Birth times are written down to the minute, and some activations sit so close to the edge that five minutes either way would move them. Switch Mark Edge Cases on under Profile, Preferences, and exactly those activations carry a gold mark instead of being quietly rounded. Part of Student and Professional.
Yes. The Astrology menu on the chart page turns on the astrological houses, and Chiron and Lilith can ride along in the planet columns. They are extra information: they never change your Type, your Authority or your Definition. Chiron is on from the free account, choosing the bodies, Lilith and the houses are part of Student and Professional.
The quiet icon row above the chart holds Share, Save as image, Download PDF, Save chart, Dream Rave, Cycle Chart, Transits now, the red New chart button, and the pencil for editing birth data. Here is each one.
On the left of the chart toolbar sit two view icons, a bodygraph figure and a mandala wheel, plus the Advanced slide switch with the letter A on its knob. In Advanced mode, extra checkboxes appear: Magic Square in Bodygraph view, Godheads and Amino Acids in Mandala view.
The centered pill filters which dataset the chart draws: D for Design only, D+P for both, P for Personality only. It is the fastest way to see what your unconscious body brings versus what you consciously identify with.
On the right of the chart toolbar sit the focus filter, the hexagram toggle, the circuit color palette, the Mandala zoom buttons, and the chart notes pad. Each is a simple on and off toggle; red means active.
The sidebar groups everything into Calculators, Services, Study Tools, The Collective, My Studio, My Account, and Help & News, with the Support button and the theme toggle in the footer. Click a group title for its overview page, the small arrow folds the list. Here is the full map.
On phones, a bottom bar keeps your most used views one thumb tap away, with a raised red plus button in the middle for new charts. You can choose which three to five shortcuts appear in the bar from your Profile.
Both. In your Own Calculator, under Your report under every chart, pick one of your Studio reports, write two sentences about it, add a picture if you like, and tick Offer it. From then on every visitor who shares their chart with you sees a card under the chart and gets the PDF by mail with one click. Free costs you nothing to set up and wins you the contact. To sell it instead, switch the card to Stripe, paste your own Payment Link and a read-only key, and the money goes straight to your account. The card shows a preview of exactly what visitors will see, and your statistics count every report delivered. Part of Professional. You can offer up to three reports.
There is a video for this one, right at the top of this page under More video guides. In short: a transit calendar that answers instantly. Three ways in: a month, a whole year, or a search. Pick one of your charts and the calendar marks the days something happens to you personally, a transit completing one of your channels or amplifying a gate you already carry. Red marks a channel running into an open Solar Plexus, which is a borrowed emotional wave, not yours. The search understands g62, or 62.2, or gate 62, or the name of a center. Eclipses and moon phases are in there too. Part of Professional, or of Student as your chosen module.
Because the sky is doing it, not your design. When a transit completes a channel into your open Solar Plexus, you are emotionally defined for as long as that transit lasts, and the tracker says so. It is worth logging exactly then, because that is conditioning, borrowed feeling you can learn to recognize as not yours. One thing this never does: it does not change your Authority. If you are a Sacral Generator you stay a Sacral Generator through the whole thing. And if you are emotionally defined by design, a transit adds nothing, your wave is already yours, so you see the opposite note.
Everything on it is a filter. Click a Type, an Authority, a Profile, a center or a channel, and every chart on the page recalculates for exactly that group. Stack several to narrow further, click again to release. Underneath the familiar distributions sit the deeper panels: how the awareness streams combine, how the substructures fall, and the sixteen orientations. The dataset switch flips between the Collective charts and the famous ones, which is where it gets interesting, because the two do not always agree. It needs an account, since these are our members contributed charts.
Own Calculator, under My Studio in the sidebar, open to every free account. Five steps: choose the layout, watch it live in the preview, get your free site key, copy the snippet, and follow the guide for your platform. One key covers your site, and on Professional up to three of your domains, and it lives only inside that snippet, so nobody can lift it off your page and use it elsewhere. Once it runs you get a panel showing how many people saw it, how many generated a chart, and how many left you their contact details, with a monthly export. The statistics panel and the contact list are part of Student and Professional. Your own colors, your text and your link come with Professional, or with the Light White Label add-on on any plan. The small Powered by bodygraph.io line stays.
Everything lives in the sidebar, in seven groups: Calculators, Services, Study Tools, The Collective, My Studio, My Account, and Help & News. My Studio holds the Report Studio, the Teacher Studio, Own Calculator, the Transit Widget and your text libraries. My Account holds your profile, your plan, Offline Mode, the prices and your invites. Most chart tools also open straight from an active chart through the toolbar icons.
In the Partner Chart's Advanced mode you find the Love, Sex & Caring section: a compact side-by-side listing of which Gates of love (the ten Gates of Love from Ra's Love Book), sexuality (availability and drive) and caring each Person carries, with the original keynote next to every Gate. D marks an unconscious activation (Design), P a conscious one (Personality). A dimmed row means the Gate sits in an undefined Center and is dormant on its own. A pink dot means the Gate forms an electromagnetic Channel with the Partner, and a dimmed Gate with a pink dot is exactly the special case where the Partner wakes a love theme the Person cannot access alone.
Every connection Channel card in the Partner Chart carries small badges. R, H and D describe how your lines meet across the Channel: R (Resonant) means the same line on both ends, H (Harmony) means the harmonic line pairs 1-4, 2-5 or 3-6, and D (Dissonant) means neither, the lines pull in different directions. The colored chip names the Circuit the Channel belongs to: Tribal Channels bond through loyalty, food and touch, Individual Channels through mutation and melancholy, Collective Channels through sharing and experience.
Three ways, and they all drive the same moment. The rewind and forward buttons in the header step the Moon, and the arrow keys do the same; the LINE, GATE and TYPE switch next to them decides how big a step is, so LINE moves line by line and TYPE only stops when your temporary Type actually changes. The date and time boxes take a typed date or time, and the arrow keys and the mouse wheel nudge whichever box you clicked into. And in the timeline band you can drag the red marker or click a segment. Rewind reaches about two days into the past, the typed date reaches anywhere between 1996 and 2055, and Now brings everything back to the live moment at once.
Each bar is a window in which the Moon lends you something. The upper track is the temporary Type, in the colors the whole app uses: red Generator, orange Manifestor, teal Projector, and the pale base is the Reflector state you return to. The lower track is the temporary Authority for the same window. Click a segment and the mandala, the bodygraph and the reading below all spool to it; the box under the tracks tells you how long the window lasts and when it hands over. The switch on the right zooms from a single day out to the full 28 day cycle.
Under your note there are quick tags in five categories, energy, mood, clarity, people and body. Tap what fits and save, a day with only tags counts as an entry too. The Patterns block then counts each tag month by month over the last year, with a total next to every row, so a state that keeps coming back becomes visible instead of staying a feeling. The blue box above it does the same for one place: it shows what you wrote the last times the Moon stood in exactly this gate. Everything older sits in the Archive below, grouped by month and collapsible.
Yes, as soon as you are signed in. Notes and running decisions live on your device first, so the journal also works offline, and they mirror to your account so the same diary opens on your phone and your laptop. Deleting an entry deletes it everywhere, it cannot come back through another device. Signed out, everything stays on that one device only.
Birth Time Rectification is a paid, guided service ($39) for when the birth time is unknown or uncertain. You fill in your birth details plus 14 sections of dated life events, from education and relationships to children and relocations, then complete the booking through PayPal. An analyst narrows down your most likely birth time by hand, and the corrected time plus a recalculated chart arrive by email within 14 days. The more dated events you provide, the sharper the result.
Two columns, read top down. Left is the Design side: Dietary Regimen with its tone word, the Cognition under it, then Environment and its cognition. Right is the Personality side: Motivation with its tone word, the Trajectory it moves along, Perspective, and the Personality sense. The tone words belong to their color, so Appetite reads Consecutive or Alternating, Shores reads Natural or Artificial, never a generic Hot or Cold. The small code at the top, such as PRL DLL, is the four arrows in one line.
Lectures, workshops, retreats and free gatherings run by people on the Collective Map. We list them, you book on their site. Every listing is checked by hand before it shows, and only Human Design as Ra Uru Hu taught it belongs here: no Gene Keys, no cacao ceremonies, no astrology evenings. Each event has its own address you can forward, the next ones take turns in the big slider at the top, weekly circles list all their dates, online events show the start in your own time zone, and the Dashboard shows the next three. You find it under The Collective in the menu, next to the Collective Map, Wishes and Reviews.
You need an account. Press List your event, answer one question per screen (kind, title, when, with weekly or monthly repeats if you want, where with the place search, languages, price, booking link, a contact email, a short and a long description, one to four pictures or one of our covers, an optional video, tags), tick that the pictures and the event are yours, check the preview, and submit. We look at it by hand, usually within two days, and you get a mail when it is live. Listing your own events is part of Student and Professional; whatever was listed during the beta stays. After publishing you can still edit texts, pictures and links; date, place, kind and price stay locked because people may have booked, and every other change goes back into review. Sold out is one switch, canceling is always possible. Up to three events per week per account.
A title under 60 characters that says what it is. A cover picture in 16:9, at least 1200 by 675 pixels, a real photo rather than a poster full of text. A short description that says who it is for, and a longer one that says what happens, what is included and what people should already know. A booking link that works without a login. If you teach in several languages, pick them all and the card shows Multi.
In the When step choose Repeats: weekly, every two weeks or monthly, and say when it ends, a date or a number of times. The list shows the next date with a small Every Thursday chip, the event page lists all upcoming dates, and the calendar file carries the whole series. Skip a single date any time under My events, that needs no review. A repeating event counts as one listing.
Because people book with a person. The host card on your event page shows your profile name and your profile picture, and both are required. The picture does not have to be your face, a logo or a graphic that stands for you is fine. You set both right inside the listing form, and they are saved to your profile, so the map and all your events stay in sync. No violent, sexual, drug related or illegal imagery, that leads to a suspended account.
Yes. Open your own event page and a small line appears that only you and the review team can see: how many views the page had, how many people clicked your booking link, and how often the link was copied to share. Your own visits are not counted. The public link is also in the mail you get when the event goes live, share it wherever you like. Part of Professional.
A public page with one search field, at /2027, and in the sidebar under Study Tools. You type a question about the 2027 shift and you get the answer that was written for it: the date, whether your chart changes, what a Rave child is in Ra's cosmology, what to do about the fear. Nothing on that page is generated by a machine. Every answer was written by hand from Ra Uru Hu's material. When no answer fits your question, the page says so and asks you to try other words or to browse all questions. It is free, needs no account and no email, and under every answer there is the same honest note: this is not a fact, not medical advice and not a promise, it is part of the cosmology Ra left behind and nobody knows exactly how it unfolds.
Yes. On The 2027 Oracle there is a button under the countdown, "See the chart of that moment", and it opens the chart for February 15, 2027, 22:10 GMT, calculated for Greenwich. From there it behaves like any other chart: you can look at it, open the properties, and save it to your Library. It carries the Profile 3/5 and the Pluto placement Ra named for that moment, and answers that are about the moment itself show the same button under them.
Yes to both. Every answer has its own page now, at /2027 followed by the question, so a link you send opens that exact answer instead of an empty search box. The address stays the same forever, even if the question is later reworded. And /2027/all lists every question, grouped by topic, with a filter at the top. While you type in the field on The 2027 Oracle, up to five questions drop down under it: those are real questions that are already answered, not guesses, and you can always ignore them and ask in your own words.
Eight gates of the G Center work like locks: 25, 46, 10 and 15 in the Vessel of Love, 2, 1, 7 and 13 in the Sphinx. The gate the slowly turning wheel brings into a lock is its key, and on February 15, 2027 all eight keys change at once. At the bottom of The 2027 Oracle you find the Locks Mandala: the sky of today on the outer wheel, and inside it a ring of all 64 gates that turns under the locks. Drag that ring, use the slider or press Play to travel through every era from 16513 BC to 3674 AD. Pick a lock to read what it holds and what changes, and the table below lists every era with its keys.
Tell us. In the bottom right corner of every answer sits a small thumbs down, This answer is not right. Click it and pick one of three reasons: Wrong, Unclear, or Did not answer my question. Add a short note if you like, up to 200 characters, and send. There is no email field and no account needed, and it counts once per answer on your device. Every note lands with us, and it is how the answers get better.
Yes. On The 2027 Oracle, press Remind me at the moment of the shift. You get one email on February 15, 2027 at 22:10 GMT, with the chart of that moment, and nothing else. It needs your free account: signed in, one click does it. Signed out, you create the account first, and the reminder is saved the moment you are in.
The card under the Just Now chart answers one question: what does the sky do to YOUR chart today? The Today tab is the summary. Channels shows which of your hanging gates the transits complete right now, with what that channel brings and roughly how long it holds. Gates shows planets sitting on your own gates, Centers shows which of your undefined centers are temporarily defined and what that can feel like, and Sun & Moon shows where the lights are. Tap any line and the chart above lights up the gate. It needs your pinned chart, and remember: this is conditioning passing through, not a change to your design. Part of Student and Professional. On the free account the card stays blurred.
Yes. The Glossary search is thematic, so you can look up a gate or channel by a keyword or life theme, not only by its number. Search a feeling, a topic, or a keynote, and the gates and channels that relate to it surface.
The place where we ask a question out loud and show what comes back. The first survey is about Projectors: Human Design has its answer, but what people actually feel around a Projector can be something else, so we asked on Instagram and Facebook. 37 people answered with 136 words, and the study draws all of them as a field: the more often a word was said, the bigger it is and the closer to the middle it sits. Red is Ra's own vocabulary for the type, and the five words that are dotted underlined are the ones both sides reached for. Nothing here proves anything, it is a record of language, and you can read it without an account.
Yes, as long as you are signed in. Pick from the words that are already there and your voice joins that word instead of starting a second one, or type a new one if nothing fits. Up to three words. It stays anonymous, no name appears anywhere. We read every submission before it goes into the field, so give it a moment, and sending again replaces what you sent before.
Survey 02 asks the same question as the first one, this time about the Generator: how do people actually perceive a Generator? It works exactly like the Projector survey. Signed in, you add up to three words, we read them before they go into the field, and no name appears anywhere. The difference is how it starts: with the words of the one who asked, next to Ra's own vocabulary in red, and it grows with every word people add. It is about the pure Generator only. Manifesting Generators are not part of it, because the question is how a Generator comes across as such, and mixing the two would blur exactly that.
Both are open study tools that need no birth data. The Interactive Chart lets you explore the bodygraph hands on, activating gates and channels to watch definition form. The Interactive Mandala is the full wheel of the 64 gates: spin it, highlight by circuit, quarter, or center, and study the zodiac and hexagram layers. They are made for learning the system rather than reading one person, and they are best on a wide screen. Part of Student and Professional.
Yes, for members of the bodygraph.io Telegram group: message @bodygraphiobot with /chart and it walks you through name, birth date (day.month.year), time, and place, then replies with your chart as a picture plus a link to the full interactive chart. You can also do it in one line: /chart Name, 27.11.1973, 14:30, Berlin. The bot is a quick taste; the app is where the depth lives.
A reading is a real session on your own chart, booked and paid outside the app. The page under Services holds the four formats plus a sample to listen to first. It is free to look at on every plan. Credit pays up to 30% of a reading, because a person is doing the work.
Under Services, Video Lectures: talks, courses and PDFs sorted by topic, with free previews sitting next to the paid ones. Browsing is free on every plan and the courses themselves are bought outside the app. Your Credit can pay for one in full.
The shop window under Services: the Gate Report, the Audio Report, the printed books, the posters and the lectures, all in one place. Looking is free on every plan, each product is its own purchase. The plan discount on PDF reports comes off at checkout, 30% on Professional and 10% on Student.
Under Services, Articles. Every piece from The Human Design Guide, newest first, with the whole archive under it and a search across titles. Free for everyone, and each card opens the article itself.
A guided tour of everything the app can do, sitting on your Dashboard. It has three levels: First Steps walks you through every room of the app, Advanced Steps is about really using it, and The App Expert takes weeks rather than an afternoon. Every step you finish adds points, and the whole thing exists so you actually find the features instead of stumbling over them a year later.
The server decides, from what you have actually done. Nothing can be set by hand, not by you and not by us, which is what makes the reward at the end mean something. It also counts backwards: if you have been here a while, your Journey opens up half finished on the first day, because everything you did before still counts.
Opening a page is not enough on purpose. A page counts once you have been on it for ten seconds or clicked something there, so that typing a URL and leaving again earns nothing. Give it a moment as well: your progress is written in the background and the Dashboard may need one reload to catch up.
You become an App Expert. That is a badge on your Profile, a mark on the Collective Map so people looking for someone who knows this app can find you, and one free month of Pro. Bringing other people in is deliberately NOT required for it, those quests have their own reward.
Explorer for First Steps, Advanced User for Advanced Steps, App Expert for the last level. You always wear one, not three: the badge is replaced as you climb. Only App Expert can be searched for on the Collective Map, the other two are simply marks of progress.
Your Profile has a personal link. Everyone who joins through it is counted for you, forever. The first person you bring in who goes Pro earns you a free month of Pro. After that, 10% of everything your people pay in their first twelve months is your Credit, and 5% from their second year on, for as long as they stay. It works backwards too: people you invite today count when they pay later. Support contributions do not count, only real purchases and subscriptions.
Credit is a balance inside bodygraph.io, a Pro month is 169 Credits, a Student month 45, and digital products have their own Credit prices, so you always know what you are saving toward. Credits are never money. Reports, Audio Reports, Student months and Pro months can be paid with it up to the full price, Lectures through a Lecture Shop voucher; Readings, where a person works for you, take Credit for up to 30% of the price. It is never money: it cannot be withdrawn, transferred or paid out. That is exactly why we can hand it out generously.
Three, and the first step needs none of them: without an account you can calculate a chart and look at it. Beginner is the free account: your Library, the Dashboard, the Wave Tracker, the Collective Map, the PDF export and your own embed on one domain. Student is for people who are learning the system: the Classic chart, gate and channel panels, hexagrams, line summaries, zodiac degrees, the Time Explorer, the Interactive Chart and the Interactive Mandala, plus one module of your choice. Professional is everything at once, including the whole Advanced chart, statistics, Present Mode, the studios, the Classic client report, Offline Mode and the application for a professional profile. Prices are shown in US dollars on the pricing page, and tax is added at checkout where your country asks for it.
Since 1 September every beta account is a free Beginner account, and nothing you built was touched: your charts, your notes, your Library and your Journey are all still there. What changed is which features open. If you want the full set back, pick a plan, or start a free Pro month if you earned one. Having had Pro during the beta did not use up your free trial, that is still yours.
On your plan page. It names the plan you are on, the date it runs until, everything that is included, and, if you are a Student, the module you picked. It is also the page you land on right after a purchase, so you can see straight away what you got.
One area of the app that you unlock on top of Student, and you pick it yourself. At the moment you can choose the Partner Chart, the Cycle Chart, the Penta Field, Dream Rave, the Lunar Lab or the Neutrino Explorer, and that list grows and shifts with the app, so what is on it today is not a promise for all time. You choose it on your plan page, it is live immediately, and you can swap it once per calendar month. Saving the same choice again does not use up that swap. If one module is not enough, a second one can be added, or Professional opens all of them at once. The second module adds the module only, your chart limit stays the same.
By card, at a Stripe checkout that carries the bodygraph.io name. Stripe is the seller of record for these purchases, which means Stripe works out the tax for your country, adds it on top of the price shown, and pays it where it belongs. Nothing about your card ever reaches our servers. Delayed payment methods such as bank transfer are deliberately not offered, so your access starts the moment the payment goes through instead of days later.
No, it runs 365 days from the day you buy it, whatever day that is. Buy on 15 March and it runs until 15 March next year. It renews on its own at the end, and you can switch auto-renewal off any time in your Profile or on your plan page: the plan then simply runs out at the end of its year and nothing you built is lost.
In two places, both one click: the plan card in your Profile and your plan page both carry the auto-renew switch and a Cancel subscription link. Cancelling turns auto-renewal off, your plan runs to the end of what you paid, and then simply stops. Nothing is deleted, and you can book again whenever you like.
Yes, if someone gives you a code. A Pro member can send you one, and it opens three days of Pro, free, with nothing to cancel afterwards. It ends by itself and drops you back to the plan you were on. A code only works if you have never had Pro, and Pro during the beta does not count.
Your Profile has the codes. Three per calendar month, each good for three days of Pro, and each one only works for somebody who has never had Pro before. Send the code to whoever you like, they enter it on their own account, and their three days start there and then.
It sits on your plan page and on the plan card in your Profile, with a button that starts it. Pro then runs for one month from that moment. It does not expire, so you can hold it until you actually want it, and several months stack onto one another instead of overwriting. When it ends you are back on your own plan. Free months come from finishing the Journey, from the first person you bring in who goes Pro, and sometimes simply as a thank you from us.
Your account goes back to the free Beginner account, and everything you made stays: charts, notes, Library, Journey, badges. Nothing is deleted. The paid features stop opening, and if your Library holds more than 9 charts, your pinned charts and the first nine stay open while the rest wait greyed out. Pick a plan again later and it all picks up where it was.
A subscription can be stopped at any time and simply runs to the end of the period you paid for, there is no notice period and no cancellation fee. Purchases themselves are final: everything a plan contains is described on the pricing page, and a Pro member can hand you a three day code, so you can see what you are buying before you pay. If something is genuinely broken, write to [email protected] and we will sort it out.
A one-off birthday campaign: the first thirty people who open the link and sign in get three days of Professional, put straight onto their account with no code to type. There is no card and nothing to cancel, it ends by itself after three days and your account goes back to the plan it was on. It only works once per account, and if you already have Professional it hands you nothing, so your place goes back to the pile for somebody else. Once the thirty are gone the page shows the Founding place instead.
A one-off offer for the first 120 people who back this thing early: a full year of Professional at a price that will not come back: $135 for the year, 120 seats, first come. It is a thank you for jumping in before the app is finished, and it is limited on purpose. Once the 120 seats are gone, that is that.
$13.50 a month instead of $16.90, until the end of December. From January the same subscription moves to $16.90 a month by itself. You do not have to do anything, and every invoice shows what you paid. The September price is for the monthly plan and can be booked until September 30; the yearly plan stays at $169. VAT is added at checkout where your country asks for it.
Yes. On the pricing page you can buy a gift card for one month, three months or a year of Pro. You get a code by mail, pass it on however you like, and whoever receives it enters it under Profile and decides when it starts. Gifts stack with whatever the person already has.
Ten seats, one payment of $1080, and Pro stays yours with every module for as long as bodygraph.io runs. Nothing renews, nothing expires, nothing to cancel. Readings, Reports and books stay separate purchases, as they are for everyone.
Three monthly ones. Infinite Library ($1.90) opens unlimited charts on Beginner or Student. A second module ($6.90) is for Students who want two modules. Light White Label ($9.90) opens the full Own Calculator and the Transit Widget without a Pro account: your colors, your text, your link. The small Powered by bodygraph.io line stays. Offline Mode is not one of these. It comes with Professional and costs nothing extra.
Yes. Professional pays 30% less and Student 10% less on our PDF reports, taken off at checkout.
Email [email protected], or use the Feedback button at the bottom right of every page: a problem report attaches the chart you are looking at, which saves a round of questions. The Contact page under Help & News lists both, plus Substack, Instagram and Facebook. One person answers, in whatever language you write.
Yes, on Professional. Open Offline Mode under My Account and press Download. From then on New Chart works with no connection at all, with the same city search and the same numbers as online. Everything that needs a connection turns grey while you are offline, and a small no-wifi sign shows you the app knows. About 22 MB once, birth dates from 1900 to 2050.
Nothing you need to do. The next time you are online, the app checks the charts you made offline, and the Offline Mode page shows how many. Your offline access renews by itself whenever you open the app online and lasts 6 days without that, never past the end of your plan. From day 7, New Chart waits until you have been online once, and nothing is lost. Charts you saved offline move into your Library as soon as you are back online. Offline Mode is included in Professional, nothing extra to pay.
Each device downloads its own copy and gets its own access. Your phone and your laptop do not share it, so download it on the device you actually take to readings. The pack itself is encrypted and only works with the access your Professional plan issues.
Because the onboarding itself is new. It takes a minute, it asks a handful of optional questions, and it is what fills your Collective Map card and personalizes the app for you. Nothing you built is touched. Long-standing testers get their own greeting and can see straight away how much of the Journey they have already finished. The onboarding runs once and is also where your account is created, so it cannot be skipped.
Switch on show me on the Collective Map in your Profile and add your city. Your pin then shows your first name, your city, your Type, your Profile and your Authority, plus whatever else you filled in yourself. Never your birth data. Being on the map is the consent, which is why there is no second switch for it any more. You can take yourself off at any time. The map works both ways: if you are not on it yourself, you still find every verified Professional and every App Expert, but the other members stay anonymous dots, colored by Type. Put yourself on the map and everybody opens up. You can filter by Type, by Profile, by Authority, for App Experts and for verified Professionals.
There are four reasons, and none of them is a judgement of your work. One: the two answers that open the section are missing or wrong, your own reading or your Experiment start year, which has to be at least three years back. Both questions sit inside the professional section itself, so correct them right there and your profile goes back into review by itself. Two: no link we can open, a website or a booking page, something a person can click. Three: you picked Other school without naming the school or the teacher. Four: no profile picture. The professional card on the map is built around a face, so without a photo or a logo you appear as an ordinary member instead. Appearing on the map at all also needs the map switch in your Profile, which is separate. The Collective Map is for Human Design work only, and we would rather show fewer people you can trust than everybody.
Pick IHDS as your training in the professional section and the courses appear, grouped the way the school itself groups them: the foundation courses, the analyst training with its four levels, the Science of Differentiation, the family and business programs, and the teaching certifications. Tick everything you completed, several at once is completely normal. IHDS on its own says about as much as university, so what you tick is what your card on the map actually names. Studied there without finishing anything? Then leave it empty, that is an honest answer too.
Calculate a chart and look at it. That works for anyone, with no email and no sign up. Everything that remembers something needs a free account: saving charts, the Chart Library, the statistics, the Collective Map, your profile. The signup is the onboarding itself, it takes a minute, and the chart you already made is carried across instead of being asked for a second time.
You can generate a chart without one, so feel free to dive in. A free account unlocks saving charts to your Library, chart notes syncing, and contributing to the Collective statistics. The deeper layers belong to Student, and Advanced mode is part of Professional. Signing up itself is free.
Sign-in is passwordless. You enter your email, we send a six digit code, you type it back, and you are in, with no password to remember. Your session then stays signed in for a good while, so you are not asked to repeat it often.
Sign up with just an email address, free. The beta phase is over: since 1 September anyone can join, no invitation needed. Everyone who was here during the beta keeps the tester badge on their profile as a permanent thank you.
The Collective Map (under Collective) shows everyone who chose to place themselves on the world map. Drag to pan, and keep dragging: the world wraps around endlessly. Scroll or pinch to zoom, tap a pin for the profile, and tap a numbered circle to zoom into that group. To appear on it yourself, add your city in your Profile and switch on “show me on the map”.
Profile holds your display name, avatar, and account details, plus all Preferences: appearance (Light, Dark, Auto), default chart style, chart background, Classic colors, keyboard shortcuts, default detail level, and accessibility options. Notification switches, such as birthday alarms and the daily wave check-in, live there too, along with which shortcuts appear in the mobile bottom bar. Contributing charts to the Collective statistics is opt-in from your Library, not a profile switch.
Yes. Your account settings list the devices and sessions currently signed in, so you can review them and sign out anywhere you no longer use. It is a simple way to keep your account secure if you have logged in on a shared or old device.
No. There are no ads anywhere in the app, on any plan, and there is nothing to buy to get rid of them. If you want to keep the free calculators free anyway, the Supporters page is the place.
bodygraph.io works as an installable web app, no store needed. On your profile page, the Install the app section has step-by-step guides for iPhone and iPad (Safari, Share, Add to Home Screen), Android (Chrome menu, Add to Home screen), Mac, and Windows (the install icon in the address bar). Installed, it opens fullscreen from your home screen or dock like any app.
The Feedback button (bottom right on desktop, the icon in the top bar on phones) has two tabs: Report a problem for anything broken, and Say thanks for the good stuff. Both take text, up to three screenshots, and a video link. On the Say thanks tab you can also rate the app from 1 to 10 stars if you have not yet. Problem reports attach the chart you are viewing automatically so we can reproduce it.
The wall of the people who pay for this thing to exist, with their name, picture and message if they wanted one. The Contribute box on the same page takes a one off contribution, and the red Support button anywhere in the app lands there. It is not a plan, so nothing unlocks. It keeps the free calculators free.
Reviews, under The Collective. The big rating is live, counted from every rating given inside the app, and under it stands a wall of what people wrote. Public, no account needed. You add yours through the Feedback button on the Say thanks tab.
Your session stays alive for nine days and moves that window forward every time you use the app, so in normal use you stay signed in. Sign out somewhere else, or leave for longer than nine days, and it ends. When that happens the app says so with a short notice instead of quietly failing in the background. Signing in again is one email code, and nothing of yours is lost: your charts live in your account, not in the browser.
Because your plan does not carry it yet. Nothing is taken away from you and nothing is hidden: you see where the feature is and what it does, and one tap says which plan opens it. What you already saved stays saved on every plan, always.
Everything that needs a connection turns grey while you are offline and a small no wifi sign appears, so you know why. New Chart keeps working with Offline Mode on Professional. Once you are back online, everything opens again by itself.
Almost always this comes down to the birth time or timezone, so check those first, then confirm you picked the exact birthplace from the suggestion list. If a chart fails to appear, refresh the page and try once more. The calculation itself is precise, so it is usually one of the inputs that needs a small correction.
Give it a moment, then check your spam or junk folder, since the code email sometimes lands there. Make sure the address is typed correctly, and if it still has not arrived, request a new code. Adding our address to your contacts helps future emails come straight through.
Some tools, such as the Interactive Mandala, need room to be usable and so ask for a wider screen. Open those on a laptop or desktop browser, or rotate a tablet or phone to landscape; the chart page even has a dedicated landscape layout with the Mandala. Everyday chart viewing works well on mobile.
Charts, the Library, and most tools work well on a phone, and the bottom bar keeps your favorites one tap away. The larger study tools are built for a wider screen, so those are best on a laptop, a desktop, or a device turned to landscape. When in doubt, a bigger screen gives the fullest experience.
That can appear if the page is refreshed very quickly several times in a row. The limit is generous and rarely gets in the way, so just wait a short moment and reload once more.

Birth details are used to calculate a chart, and they are only stored when you choose to save a chart to your Library, tied to your account. Nothing is ever sold to anyone. For the full picture of how everything is handled, the Privacy Policy lays it out in plain language.
Contributing is opt-in and decided per chart in your Library. A chart you contribute joins the Collective statistics anonymously: no name, no email, no exact birth data, only a fingerprint that filters out duplicates. It is what makes the shared statistics possible.
It is opt-in and off by default, and it now lives with your charts instead of as one global switch. When you save or contribute a chart from your Library you decide whether it joins the anonymized Collective statistics, and you can exclude a chart before it is sent. Charts already contributed stay in the pool, because they are anonymous and cannot be singled out afterwards.
You can remove any chart from your Library at any time and it is gone right away. Your whole account can go too: under Profile, Delete account & data removes your account and everything in it, no email needed. If anything is unclear, [email protected] helps.
The Privacy Policy lives at bodygraph.io/privacy and the Terms of Service at bodygraph.io/terms. They spell out what is collected, what is not, and how the service is provided. Questions are always welcome at [email protected].
