Frequently asked questions
What if I don't know the time of birth?
The birth time is very important. If you aren't sure, try to track it down through parents, hospital, etc. The more accurate the better.
While a Design can change dramatically within just a minute, the definitions in a chart can remain the same throughout the day, even though positions like the Moon or Mercury change. In these instances, the chart looks the same and so a good grasp of the Design is possible, even though some detail is lacking.
Time and daylight saving time dependency in Human Design
The calculation of a Human Design chart is based exclusively on the geocentric planetary positions at a precisely defined point in time in UTC/GMT. The place of birth itself is not directly included in the calculation, but is only relevant insofar as the valid UTC time must be determined from the local time of birth using the correct time zone.
It should be noted that daylight saving time is not a blanket or universally applicable regulation. It depends on the specific time of year and the respective country or state, and is based on the applicable historical daylight saving time regulations. These were only introduced at the beginning of the 20th century and have been applied, changed, or temporarily suspended throughout history for various reasons, including political or war-related reasons.
Correctly applied time zone and daylight saving time rules are therefore crucial for obtaining the correct UTC time and thus a correct Human Design chart.
Note:
For time specifications, particularly in the first half of the 20th century, there can be no 100% guarantee of the correct daylight saving time, as historical sources are sometimes contradictory or cannot be clearly resolved due to the political and administrative conditions at the time.
