Why Live Your Human Design?

Hi, I’m Nicole — and Human Design is still an experiment for me.

Live Your Human Design came about because, at one point, Human Design changed for me: when you no longer just know what’s in your chart, but start observing, trying things out and experiencing for yourself what truly belongs to you. That’s exactly how I want to share it with you — step by step, in the middle of everyday life.

Advanced Reading

Not a fixed package, but a reading we shape together beforehand. You tell me what you’d like it to focus on — and I write about exactly that, in as much depth as the topic needs.

An Advanced Reading only makes sense once you’ve already worked with your own chart: tried out and observed your Type, Strategy and Authority in everyday life. Without that foundation, any deeper layer stays theoretical. If you’re not sure, the Basic Reading is the right place to start.

For example — one of these, not all at once

  • A deeper personality reading: your gates and lines in detail
  • Your Variables — digestion, environment, perspective and motivation
  • Parent & child: how your child’s design and yours work together
  • Partnership: where your charts complement each other — and where there’s friction
  • Conditioning: what in your open centers is really yours

About me

Hi, I’m Nicole.

Human Design didn’t change my life because I suddenly had all the answers. It helped me, for the first time, to really understand myself in so many areas.

When I started exploring Human Design and later did my training, I learned a huge amount. I wanted to understand how a chart is built, how the different layers work together and what’s really behind all those terms. That knowledge mattered — but at some point I realized that knowledge on its own doesn’t change much.

For me, Human Design truly comes alive when you start experiencing it for yourself.

The real turning point came when I started trying Human Design out in everyday life. Not just knowing what my Strategy or my Authority means, but noticing how decisions feel, what changes when I give myself more time, when I let others sway me and where I keep living against my own nature.

To me, that’s what the experiment in Human Design is all about. You don’t have to believe everything right away, and you don’t have to change your whole life overnight. A lot of it only makes sense once you experience it yourself — when you try something, watch what happens, let it go again, take a fresh look and, over time, feel more and more clearly what’s truly right for you.

And for me, there’s something incredibly freeing in that. You start to notice how many ideas you picked up along the way — about how you should make decisions, how much you ought to be able to handle, how you should be in relationships, or what’s expected of you. Over time, that can create more space. You no longer have to live up to every old standard, or keep measuring yourself against a version of you that may never really have been yours.

Human Design can give you a lot of information along the way. But for me, the most exciting part comes afterward: when you start observing yourself more closely and get curious about what happens when you do a few things differently than before. When you let yourself gather your own experience — and don’t just understand your path, but actually live it.

That’s exactly why I started Live Your Human Design. Here you can explore your chart, understand how things fit together and build your knowledge — always with the idea that, at some point, this knowledge gets to land in your life. In your decisions, in your relationships and in those small everyday moments when you suddenly realize: Oh, so that’s what it’s about.

For me, too, Human Design is still an experiment. I’m in the middle of this process myself: noticing old conditioning more consciously, trying new things and telling more and more clearly what really belongs to me. That joy of discovery is exactly what I want to share here.

My chart

Understanding my own design changed how I work with people.

defined center open center activated gate
Profile 1/3
Wanting to understand — and trying it out for myself

Hover over or tap a card — the chart shows you where it is.

When I truly understood my own chart for the first time, it felt like a release. Suddenly so many things made sense — things I’d kept questioning myself about. Why I can change my mind when new experiences come along. Why I tune in so strongly to people and places. Why my path was never particularly straight, and why I always wanted to explore something new, try it out and experience it for myself.

For a long time, that was exactly what I criticized myself for. Other people seemed to know where they were going and stayed on the same path for years. For me, a direction could change as soon as my surroundings changed or I realized something no longer felt right. Every now and then I’d hear: “But you just said something completely different!” At some point, I started believing I had to be more consistent.

Today I see it differently. My 1/3 Profile needs these experiences. I want to understand, but I also want to test whether something holds up in real life. I can dig deep into a topic, try it out, make mistakes, correct them and build something from it that doesn’t just sound good in theory. And when I feel I’ve truly explored something, or my energy for it is gone, it’s okay for something new to begin.

This way of learning shapes my work today, too. When I look at a chart, I’m not only interested in the individual terms. I want to understand how they come together in this particular person, and which parts of it really show up in their life. That’s why I like to go deeper, ask more specific questions and rarely settle for a description that sounds technically correct but explains nothing to the person in front of me.

Closeness plays a big part in this, too. My only defined channel is 59–6 — the channel of intimacy, closeness and breaking through barriers. In conversations, I find again and again that people open up very quickly and we get to places you wouldn’t usually talk about with just anyone after five minutes. I love that depth. I’m not interested in someone’s polished surface. I’m interested in what they’re really living underneath.

At the same time, a large part of my chart is open. I know very well from my own life how strongly people can be shaped by their surroundings, and how differently you can experience yourself with different people. That makes me especially careful not to reduce anyone too quickly to a single feature of their chart. Two people can share the same Type or Profile and still experience themselves in completely different ways.

My children made this very clear to me once again. Both have a 5/1 Profile, and yet energetically they’re very different. My Generator daughter needs something different from my Projector daughter. With my Projector daughter especially, I’ve learned what a difference it makes whether I’m just sitting next to her or really giving her my attention. She can tell very precisely whether I’m actually there. With my Generator daughter, communication works differently again. This understanding helps me today to see more quickly what might be behind frustration, withdrawal or bitterness — without taking someone’s behavior personally right away.

And that’s exactly how I want to work with others. I don’t just want to tell you what’s in your chart. I want to find out with you where you really recognize yourself in it, where you may have judged yourself unfairly for years, and what changes when you start giving your own way more room.

Because that’s what Human Design was for me: not just new knowledge, but the relief of realizing that a lot of what I wanted to change about myself maybe never needed changing at all. Many of the traits I used to criticize myself for are simply part of how I learn, experience things and move through life.

Today I get to be curious. I get to try things out. I get to change my mind when new experiences come along. And I get to leave a path when I notice there’s nothing left for me to discover there.

That experience still shapes the way I read, write and work with charts today.
