Have you ever taken a personality quiz, read your horoscope, or flipped through a magazine quiz to find out “what type” you are?
That same curiosity that makes us want to understand ourselves is what draws so many people to Human Design — a fascinating system that maps your energy and shows you how you’re uniquely built to move through life.
In this episode of Standing in the Light, we explore the story behind Human Design — how Ra Uru Hu, born Alan Robert Krakower, experienced an extraordinary download of knowledge in 1987 that became a blueprint for understanding human consciousness.
You’ll learn:
✨ What Human Design actually is — and why it’s different from personality tests or astrology.
✨ The ancient systems it draws from: the I Ching, Kabbalah’s Tree of Life, the chakra system, and astrology.
✨ The scientific elements behind it — from quantum physics to the neutrino field.
✨ How to look at your chart and understand what your colored (defined) and uncolored (open) centers mean.
✨ Why Human Design is considered an experiment, not a belief system — and how to start living your design.
Whether you’re brand new or you’ve already pulled your chart, this episode gives you a grounded, inspiring overview that sets the stage for next week’s deep dive into the five Human Design energy types — Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector.
