Questions before you decide
How much does it cost?
The quiz and summary are free. The full reading is a one-time purchase; your summary page shows the current price, including any introductory offer.
What is Atlas+?
An optional subscription for people who want their map to keep growing: a monthly reflection note, one new chapter bound into a digital volume, member prices on eligible catalog products, and a re-map up to twice a year. Your original Reading stays yours whether or not you join.
What happens if I cancel Atlas+?
Cancel from your membership settings. Access continues until the end of the paid period, and delivered pages remain yours. The first charge is refundable within 14 days if no chapter beyond the welcome chapter was generated; renewals aren't refundable, but you can cancel any time.
What does the full reading include?
Your personal PDF book: Start Here, your answer on page one, then chapters in five parts written around your answers. It ends with one step for the coming weeks and what to look for after it, worksheets to keep and a keepsake page. With a birth time, it also explains your chart.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once for your book. Nothing else is added automatically.
How is the book different from this summary?
The summary helps you recognize your experience. The book explains it in more depth, explores another way to approach it, gives you one small step to try and, with a birth time, explains your whole chart.
When and how will I receive it?
We create your PDF after payment and email you a download link when it is ready. It is also saved in your account, where you can check its progress.
What if it isn't for me?
Reply to your delivery email within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. You do not have to prove the reading is inaccurate.
How is it written?
Built from your answers by rules we wrote and checked. No AI writes your book; every sentence was authored and reviewed before it could be chosen for you. It is not a personal consultation.
Do I need to understand Human Design?
No. Your book explains the terms in everyday language, with examples to make them easier to understand.
What if I don't know my birth time?
Your book is built from your answers either way. Your chart needs your birth time: give it, and your book explains your chart; without it, the book leaves the chart out rather than guess.
Is this science or therapy?
Human Design is a symbolic system, not an established science. Psychology informs the practical guidance, but this quiz is not a validated assessment. The reading is for reflection, not diagnosis, therapy, or professional advice.
Can I make a reading for someone else?
Each adult answers about themselves. You can give a gift so the recipient can complete their own quiz.
How are my details used?
Your birth details are used to calculate your chart. Your chart and answers shape your reading. Our Privacy Policy explains storage, service providers and your choices.
What does “born one way, living another” mean?
Human Design describes how you were born to work: how your energy runs and how you decide best. Your answers show how you live now, including other people’s expectations and your own “I should” rules. Your reading puts the two side by side and gives you one small step back toward what fits you.
