I reference a lot of Human Design in this post. Eventually I will write more about HD and will link it here for you, but if you are new to it right now, it’s okay not to know.  [Note: I’ve masked this guy’s actual photo with an egg face to protect the guilty.] My g-center (identity) in my chart is undefined, so how I show up can be pretty inconsistent and span a full spectrum of ways. I often experiment with new experiences, especially when it involves new people. As a 5/1, I…
