The first step of calculating an HD chart is to map the positions of the planets in relationship to the Earth. They follow a consistent orbit around the Sun. Each Gate is located on the Body graph and around the Mandala in a fixed position, which does not change.Įach of our planets moves through our solar system, at a different speed. The outer wheel and the outermost wheel show the 64 major divisions called ‘Gates’ and their respective hexagram structures – Yin and Yang, which correspond to the 64 Hexagrams of the ancient I’Ching and the codons and amino acids in our genes. Although Human Design uses the same wheel as Astrology, it divides and interprets the wheel differently. The HD Wheel has three separate wheels and in the center is the Body graph.Īround the inner wheel are the 12 signs of the zodiac.
