The Black and the Red of Personality and Design

The magic of human design is that it has two calculations - Design and Personality. This is special because it shows the full person with not only their consciousness but their unconscious too.

Astrology calculates the angles of the planets at your birth time, just like Design does with the Personality calculation, but it stops there. Design not only goes a step further with assigning specific gates and lines of the I-ching to each planet, but it also goes ahead and makes a completely new calculation - the Design calculation. This is calculated 88 degrees to the Sun's birth calculation.

Since one degree of the sun is one day, the 88 degree Design calculation is done about three months before birth. This is the time that the baby becomes a fully functioning Rave (Rave = Human). In Christian terminology, the time of the second calculation is when the "soul" enters the body.

The Personality and Design then get put into the body graph, and the rest is history. But it is important to be able to see each calculation as their own parts before you see them as the whole. This section will cover this.
