I’ve done over 200 private Human Design readings in the last year alone (not to mention the 1,000+ people who have taken my various other free and paid programs around HD).
In a very short amount of time, I’ve become an expert and leader in the Human Design field (being invited on countless podcasts, getting paid to give virtual speaking gigs or perform group readings for masterminds, being included in several publications and top Human Design experts lists, etc.).
And now that my private Human Design readings are fully booked up for the rest of the year (I’m taking half a year off from them for my baby’s arrival) and The Ultimate Human Design Reader Resource has launched and helped countless people start their own Human Design Reading services.…
I’m reflecting back on the top tips I have for anyone who is (or wants to be) a Human Design reader.
These are the things I wish that I had known when I first started offering readings:
You know ENOUGH to give a powerful reading.
If you have studied and understand the foundational knowledge of Human Design, then you know enough to give a good reading.
There will always be MORE you can learn about Human Design (seriously, it’s a nearly never-ending rabbit hole of more and more advanced information). But you don’t need to know ALL of it to be a powerful reader.Sometimes the most simple things are the most powerful things.
Some of the most powerful readings I’ve given have been ones were we focused on Energy Type and Authority for a full hour.
I LOVE going deeper into a chart (and my 5/1 profile wants to give people ALL the info I can cram into an hour long reading), but sometimes the most empowering reading you can give is a simple one.Focus on empowering people with a reading.
Make the point of a reader to empower your clients by giving them permission to be themselves and value their unique gifts.
Never pose anything as a limitation, but as an opportunity (EVERYTHING in HD can either be used to help or hinder you).
The gift of Human Design is that it invites us to love ourselves and our natural/authentic way of being.
The point of a reading isn’t to regurgitate info you memorized about HD. It’s about helping the person whose chart you’re reading reconnect with how powerful and limitless they uniquely are.Connect the dots for your clients.
Give simple, actionable tips for your clients to help them implement their design. Whether this is tips for listening to their authority, honoring their strategy, or leveraging specific gates…give clear tips for HOW they can use the info you’re giving them.Learn more about YOUR design.
Take time to read your own chart (or even have another reader do a reading for you).
Get to know your own superpowers (particularly per your gates/channels/circuitry). And then USE those superpowers in your readings.
This is such a powerful way to both deepen your own understanding of HD, and also develop your own style as a reader.
Because how YOU interpret HD - and how you give readings - will look very different from how others do it. Because we’re all designed differently, after all.
Most people think that being a skilled Human Design reader is all about knowing ALL THE THINGS about Human Design.
But it’s more about tapping into something deeper. Something that empowers both your client AND you.
Becoming a powerful Human Design reader is 50% having a firm understanding of Human Design principles, 30% knowing how to empower people with your readings and making the info you give them applicable, and 20% having confidence in your knowledge & unique gifts.
Just remember that Human Design is a tool.
We all will interpret and use it differently.
And the way that YOU read charts is perfect for you and the clients who are aligned with you.
P.S. If you are wanting to go DEEP with your knowledge of Human Design AND learn more about how to offer powerful readings (or just how to use HD in an empowering way for yourself) then I invite you to grab your copy of The Ultimate Human Design Reader Resource!
