Hey, nice to meet you too! Just looked at your recent posts. You know my sister was in Queenstown at the same as when you posted about it? Our parents live in NZ (on the north Island) and we just came back from visiting them.

Are you also an online educator? What do you teach? In my case it's languages, but I really would like to add sustainability related stuff soon.

Looking forward to other cool posts of yours!

Oh, cool!! We loved Queenstown, so much. And we're keen to go back and explore far more of NZ. 11 days is a mere start!

Yes, online educator is one way I describe my work. I teach people who give a shit about creating a new and better world for everyone how to do their life better.

So it looks like teaching them about Human Design (a profiling system based on birth data that still blows my mind almost nine years later) + trauma-informed tapping (similar to EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques) + stuff that I do with my clients to help them understand themselves and their own patterns of behaviour better so they can create real, lasting change.

All of it is designed to further empower already fairly conscious people so more good people who want to do good things have more energy and power to do even more good things to help others and the planet.

Languages! I love learning languages. I just reinstalled Duolingo on my phone to restart my Japanese study. I was asked the other day, "Think ahead to ten years from now, what are you going to wish you'd done?"

Learn languages was the immediate answer I received from somewhere within me. So apparently it's pretty important to me and I have to stop putting it off. 🤣

Which languages do you teach, David?

Human design, trauma-informed tapping, and ETF... three things I need to look into, as all of them are completely new for me. But anything that helps people empower themselves and improve their own and each other's lives sounds like a much needed thing.

I teach English and German mostly, occasionally Spanish, and to those select few who are interested Hungarian. Compared to the first three, that one is super challenging and outside the Carpathian basin not very useful. Japanese on the other hand I found ridiculously easy, but living there for a year I got discouraged learning it when Japanese people were reluctant to speak with me in their language.

Are you fluent in multiple languages, David?

Hmm, I bet language learning is in your Human Design chart! !LOL (Occupational hazard: imagining people's birth charts in my head when I learn about them and their strengths 😂)

Bummer about the Japanese (people) not wanting to speak Japanese (language) with you when you were there. I'll take that into account when we go there. We are extremely unlikely to live there but we have a skiing holiday planned for next year so I'm hoping that a decent grasp of the basics and easy recognition of all hiragana and katakana will make it easier for me to navigate our way around the country.

Well, in the four I mentioned I certainly am. Other than that I know some other languages, some just a few words, others a bit more. In Japanese I could have a very basic conversation, order food, ask for directions, talk about likes and dislikes, and stuff like that (at least 15 years ago when I lived in Japan), but being a learner, my interaction was always far from perfect, meaning not exactly clean. And that meant that whoever was unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of my language practice was placed in this substandard interaction, making them very uncomfortable. I should add, though, that I happened to be living in the South of Nagano-ken (Shiojiri-shi, close to the lake Suwa), which was super traditional and conservative. Visiting Tokyo or even the skiing resorts in northern Nagano, this was less of a problem. So please don't let them discourage you!

Human Design Chart: Now you've gotten me curious! But in order to know my design chart, is the exact time of my birth needed? In my case the closest my mom can remember is "late afternoon-ish". That's why astrology has always been less captivating to me, never knowing my ascendance.

Oh, good to know. Thank you for saying so. I'll keep up my learning with enthusiasm then :)

Yes, knowing your exact time of birth is somewhere between preferable and essential depending on where the planets were the day you were born. But you might be lucky. If you go to Jovian Archive you'll be able to get your free chart there. Put in the EARLIEST possible time that your Mum could have meant by "late afternoon-ish". Then save that chart.

Edit the chart and put in the LATEST that "late afternoon-ish" could have meant. Then save that chart.

Ideally, do at least one or two more times in the middle of that period to cover your bases (repeating the saving of each chart and editing the time).

Then, once you have 3 or 4 charts, see if anything big changes between them. If your TYPE & INNER AUTHORITY are the same across them all then that's more than enough to use Human Design to help you in your life. If your PROFILE also stays the same (lucky you!) and the centres (shapes) that are coloured in (vs. white) stay the same (even more luck!) then you have MORE than enough helpful info about you to use HD in your life.

And if for any reason the chart changes a LOT over that late afternoon-ish period of time then probably don't bother with HD. Unless you can get a document from your birth that states a clear time then it's probably not the best use of your time and other tools like EFT/tapping will be far more helpful for creating a (more) awesome life.

Feel free to put a picture in the comments here (or if you do a post about it, tag me?) of your HD chart/s. Just be sure to remove ALL personal identifiers!!

Well, I've tried it, using the two ends of a possible range. It was just recently that I talked about this with both of my parents, reaching the joking indefinitely definite conclusion that my birth must have occurred sometime between 4:20 and 7:11 (haha, right?) so these were the times I used here.

As it turns out, the results barely changed, my profile being one of the few points. Otherwise, my type, inner authority, and the centers in the graphic on the left stayed all the same. Now as for what it all means... well, that takes some looking into. So I thought why not just show you both:
