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:
Hiiiiiii! Sorry I disappeared for a few days. I'd replied in my head to your comment with your charts and realised just now that I hadn't actually written it down!
So... firstly, are you sure you're happy to have your date of birth on here? I get a little worried regarding security. So just a reminder if you want to remove them! (Or just scribble over your birth details!)
There are aspects of these charts that don't surprise me. I see a teacher (Defined Head and Ajna Centres) and I see someone who can communicate differently in different environments and with different people (Undefined Throat Centre). You can Google the terms I've put in parentheses to learn more about what these mean.
For the record, your Incarnation Cross is also different between the two charts, in this case it's because your Profile changed. (The 4/1 is very rare and very different to the other 11 Profiles). My GUESS is that you MIGHT be a 5/1, because 5's are OFTEN teachers. But that's not 100% the case all the time. If you're interested I would Google 4/1 and 5/1 Profiles and see which one sounds the most like you.
Also, your Design Moon changes from 36.6 (Gate 36, Line 6) to 25.2 (Gate 25, Line 2). This bit is waaaaay too deep for you to get your head around right away. But if you do find yourself diving into HD then it's important to realise the Moon placement changed.
There are some other tiny differences between the charts but it would take you years of study before you'd understand that level of nuance anyway. So have a Google and see what you learn about yourself.
The most important things to look up and understand about yourself (if you want to live a really aligned, authentic life with relationships that work really well and work that is as meaningful and enjoyable as possible) are the terms:
These are GAME CHANGERS!
Okay. I'll stop now. Occupational enthusiasm got the better of me :P
Hahaha, it happens to me all the time! And then people why I think it's them who stopped communication.
As for my birthday, there is no connection of it whatsoever to my Hive keys or my Keychain password. Also, various offices of various governments already have it stored somewhere, not to mention numerous tech giants. Besides, isn't it supposed to be flattering when someone remembers your birthday? 🎂
Okay, so I gotta look up Defined Head and Ajna Centers, Undefined Throat Center, as well as the Type, Inner Authority, and Strategy, all in terms of Human Design. I was actually going to read into it a bit, and I still want to, it's just that since the entire topic so completely new to me, I'm sure even the most obvious looking basics are going to be huge discoveries for me that need to be digested. But I'll get there. And then I may even write a post about it. 😁
Thanks for sending me off in this direction.
You're so welcome! Happy learning.
And to narrow it down a bit, I can tell you after almost nine years studying this system, THE most important bits to understand the answers to these questions:
What does it mean to be a Generator (Type)?
How do I follow my Strategy of Waiting to Respond (or Responding to Life)?
And how do I make decisions honouring my Inner Authority?
Honestly I'd probably allow yourself many many months to understand, digest and apply these to your life.
😄 It will be a game changer.
