In week two of our Emotional Mastery Blueprint journey, we’re diving into one of the core concepts of Human Design: Centers and Definition. If you’re curious about how your energy flows, where you may experience consistency, and where you’re more fluid, this is your chance to unlock a deeper understanding of yourself.
What Are Centers in Human Design?
Think of Centers as the energetic hubs within you. These centers influence how you process emotions, ideas, and experiences, and they are either:
Defined (colored in your chart): Areas where you have consistent energy and patterns.
Undefined or Open (white in your chart): Flexible spaces where you amplify and reflect the energy of others.
Understanding this distinction can help you discern which energies are yours and where you pick up external influences.
Defined Centers: Your Consistent Energy
Defined centers bring stability and reliability to your life. They are the areas where you "broadcast" your natural energy and share it with others. For example, if your Emotional Center is defined, you’ll likely have a consistent emotional wave that others can feel.
However, this consistency also means your energy can dominate in that area, so becoming aware of how you project it can help you live more intentionally.
Undefined Centers: The Gift of Flexibility
On the flip side, undefined or open centers allow you to absorb and amplify energy from the world around you. These centers are where you experience life through the lens of others, offering you valuable wisdom when approached with awareness.
For example, an undefined Emotional Center can leave you deeply attuned to others' feelings—but if you’re not careful, you might confuse them for your own.
Why Does This Matter?
Understanding the interplay between your defined and undefined centers is empowering. It helps you:
Recognize conditioning: Where are you influenced by external energy, and how does it impact your decisions?
Own your strengths: Lean into the reliable energy of your defined centers.
Gain clarity: Tune into your undefined centers to learn valuable lessons without getting overwhelmed.
A Quick Exercise: Reflect on Your Centers
Take three minutes to contemplate your Human Design chart. Ask yourself:
Which centers are defined?
How do you experience their consistency in your life?
Which centers are undefined?
Are you noticing external influences or amplifications here?
What energy feels “yours,” and what might belong to others?
This simple reflection can unlock big insights into how you move through the world energetically.

Even if you’re not in our cohort, this exploration of centers can transform how you experience your emotions, relationships, and decisions. Human Design invites us to step out of autopilot and align with our authentic energy flow.
If this resonates, take a moment to pull up your chart and start exploring—your energy holds the answers.
