How I Use Human Design in Business

And how you can too – without falling down a rabbit hole

Let’s be honest – the first time I saw my Human Design chart, I had no idea what I was looking at.

All those Shapes (Centres). Numbers (Gates). Lines (Channels). A long list of things I was apparently “here to be.”
It felt more confusing than clarifying.

But once I stopped trying to understand it all and started experimenting with just a few parts – like my type, authority, and profile – things started to shift.
Not just in how I made decisions, but in how I structured my business, showed up online, and navigated growth without burning out.

Now? Human Design is one of the most powerful tools I use with clients.
Because it’s not about fixing yourself – it’s about finally working with how you're built.

Okay, but what is Human Design?

At its core, Human Design is a self-awareness system that blends astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system, and Kabbalah.
But you don’t need to memorise any of that to get something out of it.

It’s basically your energetic blueprint – a reminder of how you’re wired to make decisions, use your energy, and show up in the world.

I’m a Manifesting Generator with a 3/5 profile and Emotional Authority (which, in plain English, means: fast-moving, experiment-loving, intuitive but not impulsive – I need time to feel into big decisions).

Knowing this changed how I plan, how I sell, how I coach… everything.

Want to give it a go? Here’s where to start:

Know your Type

This tells you how your energy works.
✦ Generators + MGs: built for doing, but only when it lights you up.
✦ Projectors: guides, not grinders. You’re here to see what others miss.
✦ Manifestors: the initiators – not made to wait for permission.
✦ Reflectors: the mirrors – you need space, rhythm, and the right environment.

Understand your Authority

This is how you're designed to make decisions.
→ I have Emotional Authority, which means I need time before saying yes.
→ One of my clients, Emily, has Splenic Authority – her decisions land in the moment, like a quiet hit of “yes.”
Knowing the difference helped her stop second-guessing herself.

Use your Profile

Those numbers in your chart? They show how you move through the world.
✦ I’m a 3/5 – here to learn by doing (and sometimes crashing), then share what I learn.
✦ If you’re a 2/4, you might thrive in close-knit networks and need more retreat time than you realise.
✦ A 5/1? People project onto you. Boundaries will be your best friend.

There’s so much nuance here, but even just knowing this much can shift how you build, market, and manage your business.

This is what Human Design changed for me

☑️ I stopped launching on a whim (emotional authority = give it a minute)
☑️ I started creating offers that fit how I work best (quick bursts of energy > long, ongoing delivery)
☑️ I stopped comparing myself to clients and peers who had totally different types

And my business?
It felt calmer. Clearer. More mine.

Inside my mentorships, we always look at your chart.
Not because it tells you what to do – but because it helps us get to the heart of how you work best.

You’ll get a personalised Soul Map (a guided reflection tool) that you can keep coming back to.
We use it to shape strategy, pricing, content, boundaries… all of it.

Because truthfully?
When you stop trying to “be consistent” and start being yourself – your business becomes sustainable without the burnout.

Curious? Start here.

Look up your chart here – you’ll need your birth date, time, and place.
Start by exploring your Type, Authority, and Profile – those three alone will give you a ton of insight.

And if you're ready to go deeper, the Strategy with Soul membership includes tools and reflections to help you integrate Human Design into your business rhythm – no jargon required.
