How you're built to digest. Not what to eat.
Food is the first thing that blurs how differentiated each of us is. Determination, the dietary half of the Primary Health System, is substructure information read in Color and Tone from your Design Sun and Earth. It says almost nothing about which foods are correct for you and a great deal about the conditions you eat in. This track decodes yours, then works with you as the cleansing process unfolds.

How you take in food: decoded, not prescribed.
As we evolved from a simpler diet toward dense, population-heavy living, our digestive systems adapted, and that adaptation is legible in Color and Tone. This session names your regimen so the correct nutrients reach your brain. And because Determination is a marker for how you digest life at every level, beyond food, someone whose design runs on hot food tends to want a heated-up life, and someone running on cold wants to cool things down. The work extends past the plate.
This is the fastest-answering part of the whole system. Strategy and Authority run on the body's clock and take years to prove out. Change the sound level you eat in and your digestion reports back inside a week.
- Determination: the Color and Tone of your digestive design, read from your Design Sun and Earth
- The six conditions, and which side of each pair your chart puts you on
- How your regimen shapes brain function, beyond appetite
- How Determination interacts with your type, authority, and defined centers
- A seat in HD Introduction for Beginners included (gift it if you already have access)
- Lineage-accurate analysis (Ra Uru Hu system, taught under IHDS / Jovian Archive standards)
Six conditions. Your chart puts you on one side of each.
Color sets the category and Tone sets the cognition your body notices it through. A session names your exact position in both. These are the broad categories a reading gives specific, personal meaning to.
| Condition | One side | The other | What it decides |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appetite | Consecutive | Alternating | One thing at a time, or variety across the meal |
| Taste | Open | Closed | Sampling widely, or staying with the familiar |
| Thirst | Hot | Cold | Warm food and drink, or cool |
| Touch | Calm | Nervous | Stillness while eating, or some stimulation present |
| Sound | Low | High | Quiet surroundings, or noise and conversation |
| Light | Direct | Indirect | Daylight on the food, or dimmer, softer light |
And the Tone beneath it
Smell · Taste · Outer Vision · Inner Vision · Feeling · Touch
Tone is the cognition your body runs the condition through. It is calculated rather than drawn on the bodygraph, which is why no chart generator prints it and why the decoding is worth an hour of a certified analyst's time.
A young child's digestive preference is often obvious before conditioning sets in. Refusing cold food, for instance, can be genetic intelligence rather than a phase. The same signposts apply at any age; they just take more work to hear clearly the longer homogenized eating has been the norm.
Start with the reading. Return as the cleanse unfolds.
The Initial Reading covers your Determination in depth. It takes about five minutes to state the technical details and the rest of the session to place them in the context of your actual life. Integration Sessions are for tracking the cleansing process and troubleshooting what is not sticking yet.

A fast first answer, then a slow cleanse.
Two timelines run at once here. The first is short: change one condition, hold it for two weeks, and pay attention to digestion, energy and how you feel an hour after eating. The second is long. Eating correctly for your Determination sets off a cleansing process tracked in roughly seven-year cycles. The clearest early marker most people report is sharper brain function and a stronger sense of alignment. Deeper physical shifts, including health factors that had gone symptomatic under years of homogenized eating, tend to reverse more slowly and become their own evidence over time.
Ra's own position was that this material is process work rather than information you receive once. A session gives you the mechanics. The experiment is yours, run on your own body over months, which is why follow-ups exist at all.
For bodies ready to be read, not managed.
Likely a fit
- You already have some track record living your Strategy and Authority
- You have tried generic diet or wellness advice that never quite stuck
- You want to know why certain foods and eating conditions work for you and not others
- You want something testable inside a week rather than a theory to wait out
- You want ongoing sessions to work with the cleansing process
Maybe start elsewhere
- New to Human Design. Start with Overview Session ($299) or Foundational Analysis ($697)
- You want to know where your body belongs. See Environment Session ($299)
- Want the one-time full read of both body mechanics. See Primary Health System ($697)
- Want the mind half of substructure instead. See View & Perspective or Motivation & Awareness
- Want the mechanics behind Determination first. See The Primary Health System or Substructure: Color, Tone & Base
- Want the full multi-session clinic with structured curriculum. See the Radical Transformations & Holistic Analysis Package
Straight answers
- What is Determination (PHS) in Human Design?
- Substructure information, read in Color and Tone from your Design Sun and Earth, showing how your body is designed to digest and take in nutrients that support your brain and body's differentiated function: how to eat rather than what to eat.
- Does this session cover Environment too?
- No. Environment has its own session. The two were sold together until we separated them, because they run on different timelines: Determination reports back within days at any age, while Environment is discovered over years and generally matters more after the Saturn Return at around 28 to 30.
- How is this different from the Primary Health System reading?
- The $697 Primary Health System reading is a one-time analysis covering Determination and Environment together. This is ongoing, hourly work on Determination alone, for clients who want to keep working with the regimen as the cleansing process unfolds.
- How fast will I see results?
- Faster than most of the system. Changing the sound or light conditions you eat in tends to produce a felt difference within days. The full cleanse is assessed in roughly seven-year cycles, and sharper brain function and a stronger sense of alignment tend to show up first.
Read the body. Then let the cleanse do its slow work.
