How to Find a Good Reader

5 tips to get the most out of your 1:1 session

I offer readings. Irrespective of whether you want to do a reading with me or somebody else, here are some pointers on what to look for in a reader for a supportive experience.

Human Design readers have a tremendous amount of responsibility towards their clients. The words and information they share can have a deep impact. Choose a good reader and they can unlock your chart for you. Choose a bad one and you risk adding more conditioning to whittle down.

I’ve had my fair share of so-so experiences with Human Design readings. Based on that 3-line trial and error, here are some things you can keep in mind when looking for a reading.

Get Clear on the Intent of Your Reading

In readings I’ve had for myself as well as those I’ve done for others, I’ve noticed that clarity of intent is everything. Especially in the beginning, when you’re just looking or curious about your design, it’s helpful to go in with an intention.

For example:

  • Would you like to know more about your strenghts and talents?

  • Do you need tools and insights to understand better how to navigate the world as a Manifestor?

  • Are you at a crossroads in your career or life?

Your reader isn’t a mind-reader. Help them help you by informing them about what you want.

How Type Matters for a Reading

Manifestors are very different from all the other types. 91% of people can’t initiate and take action. Only our type can. As a Manifestor, your job is to lead yourself. Other types have it a bit easier, because they can wait for the world to come to them (though this is not without its challenges).

In readings, this can create challenges.

Only a Manifestor can truly understand what it’s like to live in our brick-like aura.

All the other types can reflect back to you what it’s like to be around a Manifestor and their aura. This can be extremely helpful for understanding your process. They cannot give you an informed insight into what it’s like to be you as a Manifestor, though.

There’s no right or wrong here. It helps to be mindful who you’re doing the reading with and what you can expect from them.

Choose From Your Authority

Your authority will tell you who a good reader for you is, independent from type and hype.

A Good Reading is About Living Your Design

A good reader will help you figure out how to live your design. The information in Human Design is only as valuable as you can apply it to your life.

You can know about all the lines and channels, gates, and obscure details in your bodygraph. Unless you live it, all this is totally, 100% irrelevant.

With a good reader, you can work out how to incorporate the information from your reading into your life. It may be something as small as an exercise for getting comfortable with your aura.

From my perspective, a good reading is an initiation for you to take the next step - if you want to and your authority says yes to it, of course.

Ask For Their Experience

You can get a good reading from somebody who is entirely self-taught as much as from somebody who’s done all the courses.

In my personal experience, readings are impactful with people who are going through the ups and downs of deconditioning themselves. They know the challenges from following your strategy and authority themselves. It’s not necessary they’ve been in their experiment for 10 years. Though they should really intend to live this knowledge.

If they’ve done one course and completed that two months ago, I’d proceed with caution. HD knowledge needs to be practical. If they only know it from the books or a course, they may not be able to give you real-life resources. In that case, you’ll pay for spiritual entertainment.

Good Readings Are Worth the Investment

The price range for readings varies HUGELY. You can find some for 60 dollars as well as for 600 dollars.

Are they worth it? Only you can tell.

The way I view HD readings is that they’re occasional investments into your mental and spiritual well-being and growth. The input and information from a good reading should last you a while. Strategy and authority, the baseline of your harmonious existence in life, can be explained in one session. Then, it’s your job (if you want to) to live them.

Follow-up readings are like tune-ups or opportunities to go deeper to unlock your next level of growth. Coaching can help you anchor the information into your life. You don’t need either, but they can be fun and helpful to have.

Think about it like this: If a reading helps you move onto an authentic life path, that’s priceless. 

When you look to the steps above, you can help yourself ensure that the money and time you’re investing are wisely spent.

Readings with Me

I offer readings based on what I shared above. When I work with people 1:1, I care greatly to make the information in your chart practical for you. I know HD is most valuable when you can apply what’s in your chart to your life.
