“What I want to share with you today are some basic formulas. They are just formulas. Something to understand about mechanics is that mechanics can liberate the spirit, because the moment that you see mechanics, there is that chance, that serendipity that you can release yourself from the great curse of all bonds. The great curse of all bonds is: you have to be different."

Bring greater awareness to your relationships, work through challenges, and appreciate unique dynamics with a partnership analysis. Combine any two Human Design charts to create a connection chart, which can reveal any of the following:

  • Connection Theme: Determines how open or closed a partnership is to external stimulation, helping you understand and navigate the partnership.
  • Electromagnetic: Attraction and repulsion, love and hate—often the spark of a partnership but requires awareness to navigate the ups and downs.
  • Dominance: Where one partner is designed to learn from, and accept and surrender to, a powerful conditioning force and consistent theme of the other.
  • Compromise: A particularly restrictive and challenging dynamic that, without awareness, can end up being the make-or-break point of a partnership.
  • Companionship: The potential for friendship and shared experiences—can create stability within the partnership, but also invisibility.

The analysis concludes with the Gates of Love, 10 Gates in the BodyGraph that can have a profound impact on how each partner experiences love—especially powerful if they form an electromagnetic connection.

Ra Uru Hu

Your Teacher | The Human Design System’s Founder and Messenger

Ra was born Alan (Robert) Krakower in Montreal, Canada on April 9, 1948, (at 00:05 am) and spent his early years there. After he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, his career path led him into the business world as an advertising executive, magazine publisher, and media producer. The arts were important to Ra, and he expressed himself as a composer and performer throughout his life. In 1983, he left Canada to travel, eventually finding his way to the island of Ibiza, where he spent years working as a school teacher.

In January 1987, he had an unusual mystical experience followed by an encounter with “a Voice,” an intelligence far superior to anything he had ever experienced. This encounter lasted for eight days and nights during which he received a transmission of information—including what is known today as the “Human Design System.”

Ra dedicated the next 25 years of his life to the development and teaching of the System around the world. Together with his family, he lived in the United States, Germany, and for most of the time on Ibiza, Spain where he passed away in March, 2011.
