Introduction to Human Design Centers<\/b><\/h2>

Nine centers are the primary “energy hubs” that represent how you process information and interact with the world. Some are defined in your chart, which means they are always working with the same type of energy; while others are undefined and will pick up the types of energy from those around you as you move through your day.<\/span><\/p>

You can use these to gain insight into why you make certain choices, where you are relatively stable, and where you tend to be more affected by those around you. While understanding your centers can provide you with a wealth of information, it’s not simply interesting, it can help you make better choices, improve the quality of your relationships, and create an environment that allows you to grow and develop.<\/span><\/p>

Defined and Undefined Centers<\/b><\/h2>

There are two ways that each center can appear in your chart: defined (or colored) or undefined (white). When a center is defined, it means that there is always some form of energy available in that area. You tend to rely on defined centers without even realizing it. Undefined centers are more fluid and can sometimes be overwhelming, especially if you don’t realize what you’re picking up from other people.<\/span><\/p>

When you have a <\/span>defined vs undefined Emotional Center<\/span><\/a>, for example, it means you experience emotional waves that are uniquely your own. When you have an undefined Emotional Center, you are extremely responsive to the moods of those around you. Neither one is “better” than the other, they simply exist differently.<\/span><\/p>

What’s most important is being able to recognize what is truly yours and what comes from outside influences.<\/span><\/p>

The Meaning Behind Each of the 9 Centers<\/b><\/h2>

1. Head Center<\/b><\/h3>

This is where the “pressure” to question and discover new knowledge and experiences reside. When the Head Center is defined, it means you produce your own mental pressure and you are always thinking. When the Head Center is undefined, it means you are receptive to the ideas of others and can be brilliant at recognizing multiple perspectives.<\/span><\/p>

2. Ajna Center<\/b><\/h3>

Ajna Center processes thought, concepts, and opinions. When Ajna is defined, you have a consistent way of thinking. You likely like to know exactly what is happening and to be certain of your thoughts. When Ajna is undefined, you are capable of thinking flexibly and can consider a wide variety of perspectives. However, you may experience difficulty in obtaining mental clarity and certainty.<\/span><\/p>

3. Throat Center<\/b><\/h3>

All expression of your thoughts, actions, and energy goes through the Throat Center. When the Throat Center is defined, you have a consistent way of expressing yourself through your words, actions, and energy. People notice when you communicate. When the Throat Center is undefined, your method of communication is adaptable and changes based upon the individual(s) you are interacting with. This can result in inconsistency in your communication style.<\/span><\/p>

4. G Center<\/b><\/h3>

Your sense of Self, Love, and Direction reside within the <\/span>G Center<\/span><\/a>. When the G Center is defined, you clearly know who you are and where you are headed. You are likely to feel grounded in your identity. When the G Center is undefined, you may feel as though you fit into different roles and identities based upon your environment and the individuals you surround yourself with.<\/span><\/p>

5. Heart Center (Will\/Ego)<\/b><\/h3>

The Heart Center deals with your willpower, self-worth, and drive. When the Heart Center is defined, you have a strong sense of purpose and drive and will pursue your desires. When the Heart Center is undefined, you may feel as though you need to continually prove yourself to others in order to receive validation.<\/span><\/p>

6. Solar Plexus (Emotional Center)<\/b><\/h3>

The Solar Plexus is where emotional energy resides. When the Solar Plexus is defined, you experience emotional waves and need time to gather yourself before making a decision. When the Solar Plexus is undefined, you are extremely empathetic and can absorb and reflect the emotions of others. This can be both powerful and draining.<\/span><\/p>

7. Sacral Center<\/b><\/h3>

Your life-force energy resides in the Sacral Center. When you are a Generator or Manifesting Generator, your Sacral Center is defined and represents a constant source of energy when you are pursuing your correct path. When your Sacral Center is undefined, you require more time to rest and recover. As a result, you are not designed to constantly be active.<\/span><\/p>

8. Splenic Center<\/b><\/h3>

The Splenic Center is responsible for your intuition and instincts. The Splenic Center instantly knows whether it is safe to proceed or not. When your Splenic Center is defined, you are typically very intuitive and can immediately access your instincts. When your Splenic Center is undefined, you are much more susceptible to the fears and instincts of those around you. You can utilize your body to tap into your intuition and learn to trust your instincts.<\/span><\/p>

9. Root Center<\/b><\/h3>

The Root Center generates pressure and drive. It gives you the energy to take action. When your Root Center is defined, you are capable of managing stress and consistently motivated. When your Root Center is undefined, you are constantly absorbing pressure from those around you. This can be energizing, or overwhelming.<\/span><\/p>

Understanding Each Center in Your Chart<\/b><\/h2>

When you first begin using <\/span>Human Design<\/span><\/a>, the best place to start is with the 9 Centers. Take a look at your chart and identify which Centers are defined (the colored Centers) and which are undefined (the white Centers). Then, ask yourself where you feel most centered and where you feel most influenced by your environment.<\/span><\/p>

The defined Centers in your chart are your strengths, the areas in which you can count on yourself to perform. The undefined Centers represent the areas in which you take in the world and the areas in which you learn.<\/span><\/p>

Do not attempt to “correct” your undefined Centers, they are not damaged. Simply become aware of how they influence you and allow that awareness to inform your choices.<\/span><\/p>
