Group

You together

A family, a group of friends or a team — up to six people. It isn’t six separate pairs: a group has properties that no one has on their own.

Person 1 — you
First name only: the surname isn’t needed for the calculation.

Place of birth

What kind of group

What the team covers together and what it lacks.

Which system

All three systems at once — mechanics, characters and temperaments.

Other people’s data. When you enter another person’s birth date, make sure they don’t mind. We don’t store this data — the calculation is done and returned to you right away. Don’t enter a surname, address or other details by which the person could be found: a name and a date are enough for the calculation.

Tick the box — the calculation won’t start without it.

Frequently asked questions

Why read a group rather than each person separately?

Because a group has things no one has alone: channels that only close when you’re together, and centers that switch on in someone else’s presence. Six separate readings won’t show this.

How many people can I add?

Up to six. Beyond that the picture stops being readable: there are more connections than a person can keep in mind, and the reading turns into a list.

Do I need consent from the people I add?

Yes. You’re entering other people’s dates of birth, so the form has a separate checkbox: you confirm that you have their permission. For a minor, the data is entered by their legal guardian. We don’t store this data.

How is “Family” different from “Children and elders”?

Both look at the Solar Plexus (emotions) and the G Center (Self). “Family” adds the Sacral and the Heart (Ego/Will) — the closeness and devotion of adults. “Children and elders” adds the Spleen and the Root: care, health and everyday life, what a family with children and grandparents rests on. The calculation itself doesn’t change with your choice — what changes is the end of the overall summary: which centers we look at first and which of them you have.

Can I read a work team this way?

Yes: the “What kind of group” block has “Team” and “Business”. The calculation itself doesn’t change with your choice — what changes is the end of the overall summary: which centers we look at first for such a group and which of them you have. For “Business” these are the Throat, the Heart (Ego/Will), the Sacral and the Root. For a “Team” all nine matter, so there’s no separate line about them. The other sections don’t depend on the choice, and in the “Astrology”, “Jyotish” and “Destiny Matrix” modes it changes nothing: these centers are a Human Design concept.

Do I need to know everyone’s birth time?

No. If someone’s time is unknown, mark “I don’t know”: Gates that manage to change within the day (usually the Moon’s) we count neither as “present” nor as “nobody has it”, and the centers that depend on them we name with a caveat. Exactly which Gates shift for whom is written right in the calculation.

Can I add a child?

Yes, and it’s often the most interesting part. In a family, children often turn out to be the ones who define an open center for the adults — hence the feeling that everything at home is different with a child around. Just don’t turn the reading into demands on them: it’s about how the family behaves, not about who the child should become.

How is this different from compatibility for two?

Compatibility looks in detail at a couple and at what’s between two people. A group reading looks wider and coarser: what happens with everyone together and where the shared gap is. For a couple, use compatibility — the reading there goes deeper.

Check it — don’t take it on faith

  • Take a period you remember well and compare the group reading with it. The future can’t be checked — the past can.
  • Find phrases in the text that could turn out to be false. If there are none and it all “sort of fits” — that’s a horoscope, not a calculation.
  • Look at where two systems disagree. When two agree, it’s a reason to look closer; when they disagree, it’s a reason to take neither on faith.

The full way to check — with our own measurements →

What this reading is. The calculation is made by a program from astronomical data. Human Design, astrology, Jyotish, numerology and the Destiny Matrix are not scientific systems, and the reading is for informational purposes. It is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice and does not replace consulting a specialist. You make your own decisions.

What the group reading shows

A group isn’t the sum of its people

Each person on their own can be reasonable and calm, yet together it somehow doesn’t work. Decisions stall, conversations go in circles, someone is always pulling, someone is always unhappy. And usually no one is found to blame, because there is no one to blame: it’s about how the group is put together.

In Human Design a person has open and defined centers. A defined center works on its own and gives a steady answer. An open one picks up on the people around: that’s where a person is sensitive, and that’s also where they amplify what they’ve picked up. When people come together, someone defines their open centers — and the group starts behaving differently from each person on their own.

Four things we calculate

For a group of up to six people, the reading answers four questions:

  • What you cover together — centers and channels that appear only thanks to the group. This is your shared strength: here it’s easier for you than for each of you alone.
  • What nobody has — a center that’s open in everyone. The most important part of the reading: the group will always stall here, and no motivation will cancel that out. But you can set a rule — for example, don’t decide money matters at a general meeting, put one person in charge of it.
  • Who brings what — what exactly each person adds to the whole that wouldn’t be there without them. Worth printing out and handing around: people rarely know their role in a family or team.
  • Whose voice carries more — who has more weight in this group than they think, and who, on the contrary, regularly isn’t heard out.

How to apply this to a family and a team

In a family, the most valuable line is the one about what nobody has. If everyone has an open Will center, the family will promise itself for years to start saving and never will. The answer isn’t strength of character but design: set up an automatic transfer so the decision doesn’t depend on a shared impulse.

In a team, the most valuable line is the one about voice. Usually the loudest is the one with a defined communication center — while the best decision sits with the person who needs time to think in silence. A simple rule, “first everyone writes a line, then we discuss”, is worth more than three trainings.

What this reading doesn’t do

It doesn’t assign blame and doesn’t issue a certificate that someone is “hard to work with”. If you use it that way, better not to use it at all: it drives people apart faster than it helps.

And it doesn’t replace agreements. The chart shows where your bottleneck is — but the rule that gets around that bottleneck is something you come up with and stick to. That’s really the whole point: not “this is what we’re like” but “this is what we need to agree on”.
