Q. You work with a concept called the Human Design. What interested you in this subject and how has it been beneficial for you in your life?
A. I love how the Human Design chart so clearly and precisely shows me your unique make up. I can see how you can use your innate life force and wisdom to be successful, and I can also see what will short circuit that working at its optimum for you. After studying many different therapies, modalities and philosophies, I had enough diplomas and certificates to wallpaper my house but it was not until I met the Human Design System that I found something that really made a profound difference to my own life, as well as everyone who I introduced to it.
As for me, well I already had what most people would perceive to be an ideal life, yet in some ways knew it wasn’t, and since having my own Human Design reading years ago I embarked on really living it and as a result my life has become ideal for me, as opposed to the conditioned ideal a lot of people aspire to.

Q. Where does Human Design originate from and does it share a relationship with other modalities such as Astrology? A. Everything that is The Human Design System was received by Ra Uru Hu in a mystical experience in 1987 that lasted for a week, this was quite a shock for him at the time as he was quite a sceptical kind of guy who didn’t really believe in Astrology or anything esoteric, metaphysical or mystical. Human Design is a synthesis of Astrology, Kabbalah, I Ching, Chakras, Genetics and Astro-Physics. Q.What factors is the Human Design interpretation based on? A. I interpret your Unique Human Design from a chart called a Mandala and the Bodygraph and to create that I use your birth data and a time approximately 3 months before your birth. Your birth data gives you your conscious make up, the time 3 months before gives you your unconscious make up and together they are a quantum that is you, graphically represented in the Bodygraph.

Q. What are the benefits of understanding our personal design?
A. When you know what Human Design Type you are, you know your Strategy for how you can best enter into anything in your life. If you are a Generator or Manifesting Generator you get the best out of life by waiting for the right thing to come to you. If you are a Projector you will only get the recognition and success you crave when you are invited into something. If you are a Reflector you need to be very attuned to your own natural rhythms and the lunar cycle and flow with that until you come to a point of clarity about what is right for you. And if you are a Manifestor you need to consider who your actions will impact and inform them before you act to avoid resistance.

Your chart will also show very clearly how you are designed to make decisions. Decisions are probably the most important factor in your everyday life, every decision large or small either keeps you on your correct life trajectory or takes you away from it. Most people think that the mind is the decision maker, and it is not, it’s good for organising, researching and learning. There are several different, what I call Inner Authorities. For example, some people have a strong gut yes or no, some have a gentle intuitive knowing, others have a compass like pull, or some have to wait over time for emotional clarity, these are just a few examples of the variety of ways decisions can be made, it’s all there in your Bodygraph.

Q. Is it enough with one reading in our life or can the design alter throughout life stages?
A. Your chart does not change over your life, however there are cycles and transits that bring influences to you that you can have readings about. For some people their Foundation reading is enough, and for others it is only the beginning, I could easily talk to you about your chart for 2 or 3 weeks, there is so much depth in it, so there are advanced readings and also courses for anyone who would like to explore their design further, and you can even go on and train to be an analyst yourself.

Q. How will having a chart reading help us in becoming a better communicator?
A. Living your design makes you a better communicator in many ways, first and foremost when you know your Type, Strategy and Inner Authority you only interact when and with who is right for you. That in itself clears up a lot of communication issues, communicating at the right time with the right people is a wonderful thing. Also in the Bodygraph there are nine ‘Centres’ and when you are not living your design the ‘Notself’ behaviours generated by life conditioning in these Centres can have a huge influence on how we communicate and interact. When you begin to understand and appreciate your uniqueness, you appreciate others as well, Human Design really is the ultimate tolerance tool.

Q. How does the Human Design system interrelate with the lunar phase and/or the other planets?
A. During a 29 day Lunar cycle every gate in the Bodygraph and Mandala gets defined by the moon, and as the other planets move through their varying cycles they are also moving around the Bodygraph and Mandala bringing Definition to every Gate in the Mandala wheel they are passing through. At the time of your birth the planetary position becomes your Human Design Bodygraph, and as planetary cycles and transits come and go they do have an influence in various ways, but they never change your Design or your Strategy and Inner Authority.

Q. What influence does the moon and its cycle have on us?
A. The moon travels through all 64 Gates of the Mandala and Bodygraph every 29 days, and this effects us as different energies are highlighted in the chart, it never changes your Bodygraph or your Strategy or Inner Authority. If you are Reflector Type you have a unique attunement and relationship to the moon and use it as part of your decision making process.

Q. Do the different planet positions symbolise characteristics in people on earth?
A. Yes, each planet has specific characteristics, and the position a planet falls in around the Mandala and Bodygraph also has specific characteristics.

Q. Are there key indicators that the untrained eye can recognise, and react to, to change behaviour?
A. Not really, you need to know your own unique design first, Human Design is about uniqueness and differentiation, so there really are no generic pointers. Once you have a basic understanding you can see what type and inner authority someone has as well as understanding the dynamics of the defined and undefined centres.

Q. What are some of the benefits you have seen with people who embrace the Human Design System?
A. I have seen people improve their relationships, understand and raise their children with ease, end up in their dream job, become more relaxed and content, have boundless energy for the right things and the list could go on and on. Knowing your unique way of making decisions removes so much angst, worry and doubt. People get a whole new lease on life. I really have seen such wonderful transformation in so many people it is truly humbling to witness.

Q. If a web interview reader wants to learn more about Human Design what would be the first step?
A. You can get a free intro chart and other goodies from my website www.humandesignaustralia.com and you can have an overview reading to get a taste of what your unique design is all about.
