What is Human Design?
Human Design is a synthesis of astrology, the I-Ching, genetics, physics, psychology, and sociology. It offers a unique personality analysis and answers fundamental questions that have intrigued humanity since the beginning of our history. This system was recorded by Ra Uru Hu in 1987 (more about him in another post). Since then, it has been gaining increasing popularity worldwide. Official website: jovianarchive.com.
What is Gene Keys?
Gene Keys was created by Richard Rudd, who, after years of working with Human Design (having been a student of Ra Uru Hu), expanded the system by adding new aspects. Richard is a poet, master of words, mystic, spiritual teacher, and at the same time, someone who lives in the “normal world,” leading a “regular family life” while also giving lectures, workshops, and seminars.

While Human Design is a more “mechanical” system, as often presented by Ra Uru Hu, Gene Keys complements it with spiritual, mystical, and transcendental aspects, without losing any of its practical applications. Gene Keys is also an extension of Human Design in the direction of psychology. It describes human archetypes, their development towards mystical and spiritual aspects, and, most importantly, provides clear guidance on how to work on oneself, grow in self-awareness, and expand consciousness.
Date, Place, and Exact Time of Birth
To create a Human Design and Gene Keys Profile, the date, time, and place of birth are needed. The time should be as accurate as possible. For a basic profile, an accuracy of about an hour is sufficient. However, for those who want to deepen their self-knowledge using all available information, an accuracy of about 15 minutes is recommended.
If someone does not know their birth time, they should contact the Civil Registry Office to inquire. Hospitals were required to record birth times on birth records, which were then forwarded to the registry offices, so these offices should have this data. The exact birth time is recorded in the full birth certificate (which can be requested from the registry office).
Human Design and Gene Keys as a Map of Our Personality and Character Traits
Human Design and Gene Keys allow us to read the unique genetic code of each person. It is the only known system in the world that provides everyone with a precise “map” of conscious and subconscious traits. It reveals our innate character traits (our archetypes), along with their challenges and talents. Thanks to this, everyone can discover:
- “Who am I” on a conscious and subconscious level,
- What is my true self, and in which areas and ways I am conditioned by others,
- My Life Path, my greatest life challenge, and my life purpose,
- How to function best according to my type/energy system, when to take action and when not to, what kinds of activities align with me, and which do not, my strengths and talents, and how to make key decisions,
- The environment in which I function most effectively, my digestive system, my innate motivation, my senses through which I experience the world, and many other aspects.
Human Design and Gene Keys also answer many questions that concern modern medical sciences, genetics, evolutionary theory, cosmology, psychology, and sociology. They show the history of humanity from the perspective of our evolution—not only past eras and the one we are currently living in but also what lies ahead in the future.
Human Design and Gene Keys help us truly understand ourselves, recognize our strengths and challenges, discover our optimal decision-making process, and determine the best work styles for us. By understanding our genetic design, we can make choices aligned with our true nature, leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
Human Design and Gene Keys as Tools in Professional and Business Life
Human Design and Gene Keys are excellent tools for professional life, work, and business. They not only help identify the best career path (vocation) but also serve as valuable resources for building effective teams and supporting efficient communication.
These systems also show which structures and organizations make us feel most comfortable in our professional life and how we should shape our personal brand. We can even discover our relationship with money.
The Greatest Life Adventure is the Adventure of Self-Discovery
Human Design and Gene Keys are holistic systems that integrate various elements. It is worth taking the time to explore and understand each aspect of yourself, allowing this wisdom to gradually unfold in your life.

The most important thing is to start with the basics: Type, Strategy, Authority, and Profile. Even this alone can be a revelation, shedding new light on who we are, how we live, and what drives us. For many, this first step can be a milestone on the path of self-discovery. Of course, these systems offer much more. They are an ideal tool for those seeking self-awareness and personal growth.
Each of us is unique. Everyone has their own Genetic Code, Type, Strategy, Authority, Shadows, Challenges, Gifts, Talents, and a way to express them. Our life is a journey of discovering ourselves—our Shadows and our Gifts—so that we can thrive, experience well-being, and love ourselves and others.
The Shadows that we do not integrate within ourselves will be faced by our children and grandchildren. Therefore, in the interest of both ourselves and them, it is better to put in the effort to work through and integrate them. By doing so, we enrich our lives while simultaneously making our planet a better place for us and future generations.
