Human Design 88 builds your complete Human Design chart directly on your phone. Enter a name, birth date, time and place, and you get the full bodygraph with your type, authority, strategy, profile, incarnation cross and more. No account, no cloud. Your saved charts stay on your device. WHAT'S INSIDE • Interactive bodygraph. Tap any gate, channel or centre to see what it means. • Full written reading. Type, authority, strategy, profile, definition, centres, channels and hanging gates, all in one reading you can copy or share with anyone, anywhere. • Live transits. Move through days, weeks, months or years and see how the transit bodygraph changes. • Today in your chart. See which transit gates complete your channels today and which centres become temporarily defined. • Coming up. See notable days ahead based on your own chart, rather than a generic horoscope. • Daily notifications. Get a short morning update at the time you choose, either every day or only when something notable happens in your chart. • Transit calendar. See the whole month at once, including Sun gate changes, moon phases, changes in type and authority, sacral and throat definition, lunar returns and solar returns. • Compatibility. Compare two saved charts for romantic, business or friendship connections, including electromagnetic, companionship, compromise and dominance channels. • Ideal match. Search birthdays around any year and see which charts match yours best. Four different birth times are checked for every date. • Variables. Explore determination (PHS), environment, motivation, perspective and cognition. • Birth-time slider. Move the birth time up to 12 hours in either direction and immediately see what actually changes in the chart. Useful when you don't know the exact birth time. Why 88? In Human Design, your Design calculation is based on the planetary positions around 88 degrees of the Sun before birth. That's where the unconscious, or Design side of the chart, comes from. PRIVACY Swiss Ephemeris is built directly into the app, so calculating charts doesn't require an internet connection. Only place search goes online through OpenStreetMap. Anonymous usage statistics and crash reports help me find and fix problems, but your chart data is never included. You can delete individual charts or all saved data from Settings. Human Design 88 is a tool for self-exploration and understanding your chart. It is not medical, psychological or financial advice.
