Human Design Example #1:

The most obvious example that I can give to show what you can learn from Human Design is the way that I go “ghost mode” and retreat from the world when necessary.

In my chart, you’ll notice all of the numbers in the energy centers (I’ll explain those later). Some are dark (defined) and some are not (undefined). Each defined gate has a specific purpose, or plays a specific role, in how its energy reacts within ourselves and to our environment.

Here we have Gate 33. It’s known as the Gate of Retreat, or the Gate of privacy. It’s located in the Throat Center, which is associated with communication and self expression. People with Gate 33 defined in their chart often value their privacy and might need time alone to reflect and recharge.

This gate is about retreating from the world to preserve one’s energy and reflect on experiences. Individuals with Gate 33 can be very introspective and might have a tendency to withdraw from social interactions when they feel overwhelmed or need to regroup. They often have a deep need for solitude and might be naturally private and reserved in their communication style.

Boy was I shocked when I discovered that this part of me isn’t a part of cPTSD, but an inherent characteristic of me in general. It also opens my eyes to the fact that it’s okay to retreat when needed, but I shouldn’t lose contact with everyone. That part hurts others more than it hurts me.

I figured that with my recent MIA status for a couple of months, this would be the perfect starting point to explain how useful Human Design can be. Please let me know what you think and ask any questions that you may have. ♥️
