How to Read a Bodygraph: Practical Guide with Examples

The Bodygraph — Your Energy Map

The bodygraph looks complex, but can be read layer by layer.

Layer 1: Centers (colored shapes)

• Colored/filled = Defined. Stable energy. You influence others here.
• White/empty = Undefined. Vulnerable to conditioning. Your "schools."

Layer 2: Channels

• Full — both gates active. Your gift, a constant quality.
• Half — one gate active. You seek the "other half" in others.

Layer 3: Red and Black

• Black (right) = Personality. What you're conscious of.
• Red (left) = Design. Unconscious. "Others see it in me."
• Striped = Both activations.

Layer 4: Gates (numbers)

64 gates = 64 I Ching hexagrams. Each gate has its theme.

Layer 5: Planets

Sun (70% influence) defines main themes. Other planets add nuances.

Quick Reading Formula

1. Type + Strategy + Authority = your "operating mode"
2. Defined centers = stable energy
3. Undefined centers = learning zones
4. Channels = gifts
5. Gates = nuances and potential
