Curriculum · Level 4 drill

Twenty charts. Name the Type and the Authority.

Reading your own chart is pattern-matching against a life you already know. This is the part that tests whether you can do it from the mechanics: a real bodygraph, no label, no biography, and an answer key that was confirmed in Maia Mechanics before it was published.

Nothing is scored, submitted or stored anywhere but your own browser, and getting all twenty right certifies you as nothing. It tells you that you can read a bodygraph, which is the only thing it is for. Start at the curriculum if you have not worked Levels 1 to 3 yet, because this drill assumes them.

How to get from a bodygraph to a Type, in order
  1. Find the Sacral. Colored in means Generator or Manifesting Generator, and you are already halfway.
  2. Trace every motor: Sacral, Root, Solar Plexus, Ego. Does a defined channel reach the Throat?
  3. Sacral undefined and a motor reaches the Throat gives you a Manifestor. Sacral undefined and no motor to the Throat gives you a Projector.
  4. Sacral defined with a motor to the Throat is a Manifesting Generator. Sacral defined without one is a Generator.
  5. No center defined at all is a Reflector, and there is only one in this set.
  6. Then Authority, strictly in order: Solar Plexus, then Sacral, then Spleen, then Ego, then G. Nothing defined below the Throat leaves Mental, and no definition at all leaves Lunar.

What is in the set

All five Types and six of the seven Authorities, weighted the way the population is rather than evened out, so the common answers stay common.

Charts computed in Maia Mechanics, Human Design professional software licensed from Jovian Archive, from birth data sourced through Astro-Databank. Each one is published in full on this site with its sourcing and its Rodden rating.
