I’ve always had a very scientific, skeptical mind and I’ve always try to understand things through the lens of science.
Now, over the years, I’ve had some profound experiences on my spiritual and personal development journey that have built my faith in the unseen subtle planes and energetic reality that is still relatively unknown: the magic of life.
And I always look for where Science meets Magic. Human Design turns out to be a fantastic meeting place of the two.
When I first generated my Human Design Chart 8 years ago, my mind could only think, “How can this complex little chart come out of just my birth information? And how can it tell me such specific things?”
Because my mind had so much doubt, I struggled to trust the system. But the more I read, the more I understood. And the more I lived it, the more I couldn’t deny how drastically my life was aligning to what I desired.
Now, 8 years later after giving hundreds of readings, only a healthy sliver of skepticism remains.
And I’m writing this because I know how much it helped me to understand the science of my Human Design Chart when I was just finding the system. In this post, we’ll explore the science behind the the four systems that are the foundations of Human Design:
- The Western Astrology System
- The Chakra System
- The Energetic Channels of the Kabbalah,
- The Ancient Chinese Philosophy of the I’Ching.
And we’ll look at how they all interweave to create the map of your body and how energy flows through your body that is your Human Design Chart.
Western Astrology
How do the positions of the planets actually impact my body while I’m in the womb, and at the moment of my birth?
The answer lies in Quantum particles called neutrinos. In the 80s, when Ra Uru Hu channeled the Human Design system through him, the Voice that spoke through him talked about subatomic particles that had mass that traveled through the space between all beings and objects AND through all beings and objects. The Voice said there were trillions of them passing through everything in each moment.
At the time, scientists had not yet discovered such a particle. But about a decade later, they did. They discovered the neutrino, a particle that has an infinitesimal amount of mass such that it couldn’t be seen but it could carry information and pass through objects and people. There were trillions of them flowing through the space in between all people and objects and all things and flowing through all people objects and all things.
Now, because they had an infinitesimal amount of mass, it meant that they were picking up information from each person and object and passing it along to other people and objects. They were also picking up information in all of the space in between (the collective consciousness field) as well.
To picture this, think about two cars having an accident. If a white car and a blue car crash, a little white paint will get on the blue car and a little blue paint will get on the white car. It’s the same thing with neutrinos. As neutrinos crash into you, they leave a bit of information they were carrying and pick up a bit of information from you, and carrying it onward.
There are trillions of neutrinos passing through you in every single moment. And these are called the neutrino stream. Neutrinos are the exhalation of stars. They’re the output of nuclear fission that happens within the center of stars, and “exhales” these neutrinos out into the solar system. 70% of the neutrinos in our solar system come from the Sun. A small amount originate in Jupiter. And the rest of them come from the other stars in our solar system.
When these neutrinos hit your body at two distinct moments, the information they’re carrying imprints you with a very unique and particular energetic definition that makes you uniquely you.
The first is at a moment 88 days before your birth while you’re in the womb. This is the moment that the Voice said your Soul comes into your body.
The second moment is the moment you come into the world when you’re born. This is the moment you enter the world for the first time with your own unique energetic field impacting the world, separate from your mom.
In these two moments, the neutrino stream is hitting your little body and imprinting you with very particular information and energetics, the information of the planets and the consciousness field all around you.
The Sun neutrinos have a large influence on you since they are responsible for 70% of the neutrinos passing through you. Another large amount are passing through the Earth right before passing through you, deeply influencing you. And all the other planets are also imprinting you with the various characteristics and qualities of these celestial living organisms that are floating through space. The information and energetics they carry are imprinting you through the neutrinos “crashing into you” and leaving some of that information in you.
And based on where the planets’ locations are at those moments, it can be determined which energetics within you are getting defined and imprinted.
So this is much more than a generalized horoscope. Astrology is very, very scientific and specific.
The Chakras
Quantum physics also helps us understand that we are energetic beings. With the advent of quantum microscopes, you can zoom in close enough to see that all beings and objects at the smallest scale are vibrating energy and light.
Matter is merely a suggestion, energy slowed down enough to take a form that can be felt but is certainly not static. It is ever-changing and ever-moving. And this vibration within you is either resonant or dissonant with the environments, communities, and relationships you’re in. If you’re in a relationship or environment or situation that is dissonant, your body’s going to tell you that. You will feel it. That is, you will feel it if you allow yourself to be open and sensitive to the wisdom of your body, which many have desensitized themselves to through societal conditioning.
Your unique frequency is designed to operate in a particular way that will naturally attract resonant opportunities and resonant relationships.
But as you go through life and are taught to believe certain things about your Self and the world, self doubt and self deprecating thoughts begin to creep in. You start to suppress yourself and your true nature because of what society or your parents or teachers have told you. You start to take safe steps to stay in a comfort zone instead of following your heart.
Over time, this begins to weigh your vibration down with suppressed emotional energy and heavy beliefs that are dissonant with who you truly are. Who you’re designed to be. Who you were imprinted to be. You end up trying to keep yourself safe in a society that doesn’t want you fully expressed instead of living as you’re designed to live: the perfect unique puzzle piece in the humanity puzzle.
This is why many people don’t choose to live their Design, even after discovering their chart and sensing the Truth in it. Because, when you do start to live your design, your vibration will no longer be resonant with the comfort zone you created from the approximated version of you.
This means loss. This means the unknown. This means trust.
When you start living your design, you’re invited to release all of the ways you’ve limited yourself over the years and to allow your vibration to return back to its natural frequency.
You may lose people, opportunities, or things that WERE aligned to the suppressed, heavy vibration of the approximated you but are NOT aligned to the truer, aligned, expressed version of you. And this will be sad. Yet, space is being created for the life you truly desire to begin to resonate around you.
When you start living the design of your human design chart, at a quantum physics level, your whole vibrational frequency is changing. So what used to be resonant around you will now be dissonant and will start falling away. And a new reality that is more resonant with the truth of who you are, the design of who you are, will start to emerge, if you allow it to. It can be an uncomfortable transition.
This brings us to the chakra system.
You are an energetic being made up of energetic centers. The seven chakras that are traditionally talked about in Eastern teachings correspond to the 9 Energy Centers of the Human Design system. These energy centers are measurable by modern medical and scientific equipment, as technology continues to catch up with the wisdom of the East.
These centers are energy gathering points in your body, each with its own function in your energetic anatomy. The 3rd Chakra corresponds to the Splenic Center AND the Solar Plexus Center. The 4th Chakra corresponds to the G Center AND Ego Center.
Here are the “jobs” of each center:
And these energy centers are designed to work together, each performing their role in harmony with the others. And energy flows between them through the energetic channels.
The energetic channels of the Human Design system take root in the Kabbalah and the wisdom of how energy flows through the body.
The Kabbalah and Energetic Channels
Again, modern science and Quantum Physics has caught up to this ancient Jewish wisdom and also to the meridian lines long studied and utilized in Eastern traditions and healing techniques.
What all roads point to is that there are many entry points for energy to come into you: through your feet, crown, major chakras, and through many minor chakra points. This energy (Chi) then flows through your body through energetic channels.
This energy allows your organs to do their jobs: breathing, pumping blood, etc. This energy is flowing from the quantum field around you, a field that connects us all. Each individual being and object has an auric field which has now also been measured and can be seen through various scientific and medical equipment. In fact, the scientific study of Field Theory has been around since the 1800s. These fields can also be seen through your own eyes if you build the sensitivity to the energetic planes.
In addition to all living beings and all objects, so too does the Earth and all Celestial bodies have a field. Then there’s the quantum field that’s carrying all the information of all the people and beings through the neutrinos and other particles as well.
Your field is constantly intersecting with other fields, exchanging information and communicating. And the signature of your field is made up of the signature of the various energetic channels, gates, and centers that are defined (colored in) in your chart. This is where your energy was imprinted in a specific way during your time in the womb and during birth such that energy will flow consistently and uniquely in a way you can count on.
And just as your energy communicates through your field, there is this energy that is entering your body and flowing through your channels in a way that is uniquely you. And when you align to these quantum energetic intelligences and flow with them instead of suppressing them by being who you were taught you should be, life can become much easier. Because you’ll be playing the part you were designed to play.
The Life you Desire will resonate around you as you stop trying to make it happen and start remembering and aligning to who you really are: a multi-dimensional being driving a vehicle called a body that has an instruction manual.
That instruction manual is your Human Design chart.
This brings us to the last system that Human Design is built on: the I’Ching. The I’Ching is how we take the quantum intelligences of the channels and gates and actually interpret them in ways that we can use in our life.
The I’Ching
This ancient Chinese philosophy is over 5000 years old. Chinese philosophers of the time were observing nature and began to notice the wisdom of four seasons and eight elements. And from these emerged the wisdom of 64 archetypal moments that were distilled into the 64 hexagrams of the I’Ching.
The I’Ching became the first Oracle that people could consult when they were experiencing a challenge in life. They would use coins to determine which hexagram to consult and the wisdom of that hexagram was delivered through poetic verse. The I’Ching doesn’t tell you the answer. It helps you contemplate it through the wisdom of nature. Because you are nature, inseparable from it through the collective quantum information field described earlier. The neutrino stream connects all beings as one. And so, your body operates in alignment with nature, if you allow it to.
The wisdom of the I’Ching is designed to help you access the wisdom of YOUR nature and find the answers within.
And through the Human Design System, the wisdom of the 64 Gates helps you access, remember, and return to your nature – if you allow it to. Those 64 gates correspond to the 64 hexagrams of the I’Ching.
And, when our DNA was discovered in the last several decades, it was discovered that it’s made up of 64 codons which are made up of the 64 combinations of four base nucleotides grouped into groups of 3. Immediately, papers were written about the correlation of this structure of our DNA to the structure of the 64 hexagrams of the I’Ching. The 64 hexagrams are made up of 64 combinations of the four seasonal energies (represented by yin and yang lines) grouped into groups of 3.
And the field of epigenetics is helping us understand that how we perceive the world is what determines the signal passed through the cell membranes of our cells into the nucleus and into the DNA, which determines the order that the codons of our DNA “code us” in each moment (by coding amino acids and proteins).
So, when you look at your Human Design chart and you see the 64 numbers on your chart (your gates), these correspond to both the wisdom of the 64 hexagrams of the I’Ching and the 64 codons of your DNA.
And, it’s the wisdom of the hexagrams – the wisdom of nature – that is used to help you contemplate and return to your own nature through your Human Design chart. The wisdom of nature is within you, built into your energetic channels, gates, and centers that then determine your Human Design Type, Strategy, and Authority.
When you’re interpreting your human design chart, or someone’s interpreting it for you through a reading, you are interpreting your nature: how you’re here to move through the world. And when you align to that, your most natural purpose can move through you
When you align to how energy is designed to move through you, you’ll start to resonate with the environments, communities, and relationships where your purpose is going to be called forth and where the people will recognize you for it.
So that’s the science of your human design chart. I hope this helped your mind relax into the wisdom of this system a bit and release resistance. The chart isn’t just magic that pops out from entering your birth data. It’s where magic meets science. Where the unseen world meets the seen world. And it’s where you can remember who you really are and be the important voice and action you’re here to be.
It has deeply changed my life. I hope you allow it to change yours.

This is SUCH a great article- thank you for writing! I have two questions.
First, can you elaborate on the 88 days before birth moment? I am intrigued by that.
Second, what are the 8 elements that tie in with the I’Ching aspect of HD? I am a chemistry teacher, and that piqued my interest!
I am starting to open up to explore human design after finding a huge awakening through other systems such as the Enneagram, and through listening to and reading about the ego from some spiritual teachers.
Any help or guidance you could give would be so appreciated!
