the systems I use

Numerology

I personally like Dan Millman’s interpretation of numerology in his book The Life You Were Born to Live. His system uses Life Path Numbers and their sub-paths to reveal your soul's purpose, strengths, and challenges.

western Astrology

My favorite astrology app is The Pattern. It goes beyond signs and horoscopes, offering insights based on your birth chart and timing cycles in a way that feels deeply personal and accurate.

  • App: The Pattern (available on iOS and Android)

Human Design

Multiple Human Design sites and apps will give you the same chart layout. But I love Jenna Zoe's app, recently renamed Align, for its intuitive, whimsical tone that feels familiar if you’re used to astrology-style insights.

  • Created by Ra Uru Hu in 1992, Human Design combines elements of:

    • The I Ching

    • Astrology

    • The Chakra System

    • Kabbalah

    • Quantum Physics

  • Book: The Definitive Book of Human Design by Ra Uru Hu

  • App: Align by Jenna Zoe (formerly MyHumanDesign)

  • Websites I like:

Chinese Astrology (Ba Zi)

I haven’t yet found a single app or site I trust that encapsulates all I want from Chinese Astrology and BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny). Right now I use a blend of chart calculators, books, and AI to analyze the information.

  • Tools I use:

    • BaZi calculators across multiple websites

    • Books on BaZi interpretation

    • AI + personal research for synthesis

(If I find a single resource I love, I’ll update this.)

Gene Keys

Gene Keys by Richard Rudd is a contemplative system that expands on Human Design. It focuses on personal evolution through the Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi expressions of each Gene Key. I’ve only recently discovered it and have much more to learn about my own chart, let alone the entire system.
