No Birth Time?

Again and again along our path with Human Design, we’ve encountered people who wanted to know their design, but didn’t know their birth time or only an approximation of it, like “early morning.” For the first decade or so we were pretty helpless and couldn’t really see how we could help. Common practice was to just assume noon, but we knew that an individual body graph could change dramatically in a day, with 26 moving entities at any time, and we were not comfortable to do that.

I started to manually sift a given birthday for definition changes, which usually took in excess of an hour with the tools available to me back then and produced sequences of 3 to 10 possible designs, depending on the day. We could then probe the person in a session to tickle out the most likely version. I still employ the same method, challenging my skills in reading both the body graph and the person to arrive at the most likely design.

Luckily, I no longer have to manually scan the day. I’ve designed and built into Auracle a feature that does the job for me. What used to take an hour is now available in mere seconds.

At the time my programmer and I worked on the feature, Elon Musk’s birth time was unknown and so he was one of the designs I experimented with. I use him for the following demonstration.

Now available to all subscribers of Auracle:

Auracle Rectification

Complete the New panel as usual, but enter “24h” in the birth time field.

Auracle will then scan the day for any definition changes, and, while it is at it, also any line changes in the Sun/Earth matrix. The results are shown on a panel.

You can now compare the body graphs and the activations, switch, zoom in, hone in, delete, print charts, and practice your skill in reading the body graph. Given what you know about the person and your experience, what is the most likely configuration?

I don't know Musk personally, but I've got a picture from his relentless publicity and in studying the body graphs I concluded that he must be born between 03:58 and 09:38 EET, one of the eight slots determined by Auracle (selected in the illustration above). A few months later, Astrodatabank confirmed a birth time of 07:30 EET (Rodden Rating B), validating my result.

Besides finding no-birth-time-people's likely birth time, I have a lot of fun checking out the entire birthdays of people whose birth time is known, such as my own. Interesting to see what happened in the design right before and after birth, who I could have been with just a slight shift.

This is another of the plentiful, playful, useful and original features of Auracle.

Original Human Design

"Would you be interested in being a guest in my podcast about Human Design to tell people about how the system was described initially?"

The original presentation of the Human Design System was reportedly made by what Ra called a “voice.” Nobody was there but he and his dog. The original teachings, how he publicly described the system five years later, was all his, obviously. There’s the problem: he was a limited man who made fundamental errors in his assessment of the revelation and his role, so all his teaching was tainted right from the start. It's not all wrong, of course, but it's all permeated by his particular slant.

What I have done for the past 31 years is following my nagging unease (my infallible Spleen) and analyze his original teaching to find what his character twisted, kept hidden or invented. By now the Spleen nags far less and I’m confident that I’ve penetrated to the original before his original and lifted the veil he imposed.

"... I believe people will listen more if you just give them your version of the system and not talk so much about Ra."

At this point, it is still necessary for me to publicly say what Zen Human Design isn’t. A person needs to understand that they’re likely viewing Human Design through Ra’s blinders and original Human Design cannot be seen while wearing those blinders.

Zen is fundamentally different. It’s not a “version.”
It’s the clarity that arrives when the confusion Ra sowed is radically swept away.

I’ve long been looking forward to a time when I can teach pure Zen Human Design to a select public. Auracle is my first and most significant step. It’s pure original Human Design. Everything has been stripped away, except the mechanics. Your borrowed blinders suddenly are useless. You look at that body graph and don’t know what you’re seeing. Now understanding can begin.
