The definition of energy types is the way you 'optimize your unique energy in all areas of life, such as relationships, work, sleep, digestion, and creativity,' explains Human Design reader Ilona Barnhart. The numbers correspond to the ones that appear in the chakras, so you can gauge which planets rule each one.īecause Human Design is so complex and overwhelming at first glance, allow me to focus on the two most important aspects of someone's chart: energy type, which is how you exert energy and exchange it with the people around you, as well as authority, which explains how you make decisions. The right side is your conscious personality that you can learn more about via your sun sign the left is your unconscious personality, which is basically your birth chart from about three months before you were born.
