Human Design is presented as a full, integrated cosmology — astrology, I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system woven into a precise blueprint of who you are and how your energy functions. Parkyn walks you through creating and decoding your chart step by step, then dives into types, centers, gates, profiles, and authorities with enough depth that it feels like sitting in on a professional reading.​​

What you can get from reading it

• A comprehensive tour of the system’s architecture — 9 centers, 5 types, 36 channels, 12 profiles, 64 gates — so you understand not just your chart but how the whole design matrix fits together.​​
• Detailed interpretations of each type’s strengths, pitfalls, and decision-making strategies, plus examples of how they show up in career, relationships, and leadership.​
• Guidance on running charts for others (partners, family, public figures), learning to read dynamics and compatibility patterns rather than just your own nature.​​
• Rich descriptions of centers and authorities that help you untangle lifelong conditioning versus your inherent energetic style.​
• A more “technical mystic” feel — satisfying if you like systems thinking, want to study Human Design in depth, or are considering reading for others.​

About the author

Chetan Parkyn trained as a mechanical engineer and deep‑sea dive engineer before immersing himself in meditation, time with Osho, and ultimately Human Design, which he first learned directly from Ra Uru Hu in the 1990s. After decades of giving thousands of readings and teaching worldwide, he became one of the earliest authors to bring Human Design to a mainstream audience, blending precise, almost engineer-like system clarity with an intuitive, spiritual sensibility.
