Human Design for couples: what you complete together

In Human Design everyone has a bodygraph: nine centres and the gates between them. When two people are together their gates add up, and channels appear that neither has alone.

Four kinds of connection

Open a kind of connection to see how it works.

Electromagnetic channel

Each of you has one gate of the channel, and together it is complete. The strongest attraction, and the most frequent friction.

Companionship channel

You both have the same whole channel. Here you work the same way and recognise each other easily, but together it adds no new energy.

Dominance channel

One of you has the channel, the other has neither of its gates. One leads, the other learns.

Compromise channel

One has the full channel, the other only one of its gates. The one with the channel sets the tone.

A couple’s channel

A channel joins two gates. If you have one gate and your partner has the other, together you complete the channel. It feels like attraction: the energy appears exactly when you are together.

Defined centres

When a channel is completed, both its centres become defined for the couple. The book shows which centres the couple defines together and how that changes the composite bodygraph.

Why the time matters

The Moon moves into a new gate about twice a day. Without a birth time the Moon gate of one of you may shift, and with it channels, centres and even type. The book marks the uncertain places in that case.
