Learn about Human Design
Human Design describes how a person is built to make decisions and to use their energy. It brings together astrology, the I Ching, the chakras and the Kabbalah. The chakras became its nine centers, and the channels between them recall the paths of the Tree of Life from the Kabbalah. These descriptions introduce each part of a chart, they don't replace a reading.
