CAN HUMAN DESIGN IDENTIFY YOUR RIGHT CAREER?


Some individuals have a strong sense of purpose, while for many others, clarity about the direction of their lives develops gradually, shaped by experiences and the passage of time. While we may have an inkling of our potential paths, cultural beliefs and societal conditioning often distract us and prevent us from discovering what we are truly meant to do.

We are all born into a moment in time that is rich with various layers and forms of energy—representing different aspects of consciousness—each of which exists in potential within us, waiting to be shaped and expressed as we navigate our lives. These diverse energies can either encourage our curiosity or present obstacles to it. Sometimes, our ability to pursue our curiosity is unhindered and even supported, while at other times, we face roadblocks on the path we wish to follow. 

Roadblocks and delays aren’t inherently negative; they can serve as valuable guidance, urging us to stay true to our values and to proceed with greater clarity and determination. Alternatively, they may cause us to pause and reconsider our choices, which can also be beneficial. Taking the time to reflect on our motivations and goals can help us determine whether our current path aligns with what we truly want to pursue.

We are all born with specific talents and interests. These guide and connect us to our unique path. Many people follow what excites them, even if they are unaware of their Human Design, astrology, or other systems that describe their unique nature.
 
Our Human Design chart guides and influences how we express ourselves, even if we are not consciously aware of the system. However, this guidance is often obscured by societal, familial, and educational expectations, which can override our natural instincts. Without proper information, education, and experience, achieving self-actualization becomes difficult. True alignment occurs when we can distinguish our internal direction from external pressures.
 
The Trusted Advisor plays a crucial role here: the Human Design Specialist’s responsibility is to guide clients toward their true selves. By building on the complexities and influences mentioned earlier, the Specialist engages in conversations that help clients reconnect with their own insights. This guidance enables clients to identify what is meaningful to them and to recognize the unique gifts they contribute to the collective.
 
Human Design offers valuable insights into our identities, but it does not determine our talents or career paths. This important knowledge stems from what we bring to our charts—our desires, experiences, and self-awareness. It emphasizes that self-discovery is essential for living in alignment with our design.
 
For instance, in the Incarnation Cross of the Sphinx 4, the Conscious Sun is located in Gate 1. The combination of the Sun and Gate 1 creates a powerful influence for self-expression, motivating individuals to discover their life mission. However, it does not explicitly define that mission for them. Identifying what inspires us to express ourselves unfolds through our experiences, helping us reveal our unique gifts, the areas we wish to explore, and, on the flip side, what we prefer to avoid. We can further deepen our understanding of our purpose through reflection and conversations with others. It is clear to me that our purpose is where we feel most at home with life.

THE QUEST FOR RIGHT VOCATION

Instead of struggling to identify a specific vocation, focus on what matters to you. What did you love to do as a child? You can look there for clues. What excites you? What feels adventurous? What makes you eager to start your day? These are hints to your vocation. Activities and topics you feel drawn to can highlight your next career. Follow your instincts, and your most fulfilling way of engaging with the world vocationally will follow.

•    What do you love to do? You want to enjoy your work, so think about activities that make you lose track of time.

•  Which specific activities or situations make you feel so happy and engaged that you lose track of your problems and time?

What did you once love to do, but have essentially forgotten about or given up on because it didn’t work out at the time or simply made no sense? Or did you not receive much support for it? Revisit it. Re-engage it. These things, whatever they are, are yours. These are your gifts. They are to be used in service to others and for your own continuing development.

What are you really good at? Again, what you’re good at is also what is fun and meaningful for you.

What are you really passionate about? Where do your yearnings lead you? Your passion will get you over humps, writer’s block, self-doubt, waiting for an invitation, pretty much anything that rears its ugly little head and tries to talk you out of embracing your natural design. Or, put another way, your inclinations and your yearnings.

What are you passionate about sharing or teaching others? If you don’t think these points point to your vocation, think again.

What have you acquired much knowledge in just because you enjoyed going there? In other words, what have you really been training for all your life?

What are you really good at? Take stock here. What you’re good at is more than a hint of where you should put your time, energy, and attention. What vocations does this translate to?

Having said the above things, consider whether your passions and yearnings best express themselves through a single vocation. Or even as a standard, conventional vocation.

We have been enculturated to believe that one’s talents and passions can best be expressed — or only expressed — through a particular vocation. That may not be the case for you. You may not be here to do “normal” or conventional work or specialize in just one area. Maybe you are here to explore, experiment, and do many things! Your passions and talents will likely connect naturally to several types of vocations or careers. Still, it is best to steer clear of thinking that what is out there in the ordinary workaday world will necessarily be your perfect match. What is important is that you put your attention and energy into what calls you. Follow that, and you will make the ‘career’ connections you need. In other words, you can find the right path for your gifts.

Understand that it is not uncommon that what you do for a living does not always require or ask for the highest expression of your gifts. Your official job may not be as fulfilling for you as a “hobby” in which you find a lot of joy, and where others also benefit. Our way of thinking is that what we do for a living should align with what brings us the most joy and where we have the most significant impact. This is actually not true; in real life, such jobs are not always easy to obtain, although it may work out that way. What is important is that you create the space to use your gifts, even if you are also working a regular job. In this way, you continue to cultivate your unique presence in the world, and most importantly, be your most effective self. You will also have the peace that comes with knowing you are being and doing all you can.
