How do I know which Archetypes I have?

Every number you see in your Gene Keys or Human Design chart (from 1–64) is connected to one of the 64 Archetypes.

You don’t have just one archetype.
You’re a constellation of many…
…but we usually start with a few key ones so it feels clear and grounded.

—————————————

Step 1: Grab your chart

—————————————

You can use either:

• A Gene Keys profile
• A Human Design chart

(Any site that gives you a free chart/profile is fine.)

You’ll need your birth date, time, and place.

—————————————————–

Step 2: Find your numbers (1–64)

——————————————————

 In your Gene Keys profile

Look for the numbers (left of the decimal point) in each sphere, for example:

• Life’s Work – e.g. 6
• Evolution – e.g. 36
• Radiance – e.g. 15
• Purpose – e.g. 10

Each of those numbers is one of your archetypes.

Gene Key 5 = Archetype 5: The Rhythmic

 In your Human Design chart

Look for the gate numbers (1–64):

• The numbers written inside or next to the centers (shapes)
• The numbers in the columns on the right/left of the body graph (your conscious & unconscious gates)

Every gate number = one archetype.

Human Design Gate 15 = Archetype 15 :The Wild Woman

—————————————————–

Step 3: Match your numbers to the archetypes

—————————————————–

Use this list to decode your chart.

If you see Gate/Gene Key 6, that’s The Peacemaker.
If you see 14, that’s The Powerhouse, and so on.

You can start by meeting:

• In Gene Keys: your Life’s Work, Evolution, Radiance, Purpose
• In Human Design: your conscious Sun gate (top right number) as a primary archetype

Then explore the others one by one. 

You can Walk the Wheel (WTW) with us and get to know which archetype is in transit (see “transit” post for more insight on how to WTW)
