Where did it originate? That’s a good question and the answer will probably seem really weird. When I read about its origins I think I literally said (out loud), “This is insane.”

Here goes: In 1987 (y’all, I was 13) a dude called Robert Allan Krakower decided he was pretty freaking fed up with corporate Canada. He walked away from his career and family (rude, but then so did Buddha…) and moved to Ibiza, Spain in search of himself. You might hear Ibiza and think… beaches. Well, yes and no. Robert stayed in beachside AirBNB (before that existed) and dug into life. One night, he was walking on the beach with his dog (I’m just gonna call the dog Willie) and he sees a light coming from the house/AirBNB.

SURPRISE, the house doesn’t have electricity (ONE STAR RATING FOR YOU).

He’s confused and Willie is FREAKING out. Dog passes out (don’t worry, he’s not dead). Robert notices he’s feeling a little like he might explode.

He’s disoriented by the whole sitch (ya think?) but begins to hear the sound of a disembodied male voice telling him to get to work. (Sounds like my dad.)

Robert Allan Krakower becomes Ra Uru Hu, and for the next eight days, he channeled the system that became Human Design.

I’m sorry, WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I told you it was kooky. BUT regardless of whether you believe Human Design’s origin story or not, the wisdom and tools it offers are unlike anything you have ever seen or heard. I swear.

What is the world if not a little bizarre at times? That’s what faith is, isn’t it? Believing in something that might not make logical sense. Don’t worry, Ra didn’t get rich or anything. In fact, he was broke more often than not and often heard saying he didn’t have a choice, it came through him.

If I’m being frank, I’m pretty fucking woo if I do say so myself and I wasn’t sure about any of it. Until I dove in. And I DOVE in. The first time I looked at HD, I turned away. I felt this bizarre pull to it but I turned away.

Why? I think, actually, I KNOW, that knew if I started studying I’d be down the rabbit hole. (As it turns out, that’s part of my design.) When HD found me the second time, I was rebounding from my stepfather and mother’s suicides. The trauma I’d be keeping mostly in check started to bubble up. I was already in therapy, already doing the work, but Human Design gave me something I’d never seen — an explanation.

Not to mention, this is a system that is SO complex I don’t think it’s even remotely possible someone could have made it up.

When I said the study of Human Design changed my life, I am exaggerating 0%. It turned everything on its head for me and sent me down the path that led me here, with you.

So.

What do you do now? Run your chart! You can run one right here on my site for fun! My other favorite place to do this is Genetic Matrix. It's free! Genetic Matrix is (in my experience) the absolute most accurate site. Jovian Archive is also good. Either way, you’ll want to have your chart saved somewhere! If you book a reading with me, we’ll be going back to that chart over and over!

You will need: birth place, date and time. The time matters! If you aren’t sure, it’s usually on your birth certificate.

Then, if you feel called to learn more, book a session with me and we’ll dive in.
