For several reasons.

1. A basic reading builds your crucial "foundation of awareness" about your unique energy configuration, personality style, and behavior patterns. THEN, the Specialty Readings will build upon that foundation and will be more meaningful and useful to you.
2. A basic reading gives you an understanding of how to apply your personal decision-making Strategy and Authority. All the other aspects of your chart (including Specialty Reading topics) cannot be fully experienced and expressed unless you are actively using your Strategy and Authority and living in alignment with your Type.
   
3. There is a tremendous amount of information available from your Human Design chart but it is hard to synthesize it and make it useful without a trained professional to guide you. Their synthesis in your basic reading will help you to be prepared for your Specialty Readings.
   

I do personal readings a bit differently than many others, so I encourage you have a basic reading with me (even if you’ve already had a reading) so you are as prepared as possible for getting the most benefit and value from your Specialty Reading. However, if you are confident that you are ready for a Specialty Reading… I will absolutely trust you on that.

If you're interested in this Soul Purpose Alignment Reading and/or other Specialty Readings but have not had a Basic Reading yet, your best options are the Custom Reading or Deep Reading packages where you can combine your choice of a Basic with the Specialty Readings that most interest you.

Review whatever Basic Reading you have already had, and practice applying what you learned into your life. The more aligned with your design you are, the more value you will receive from your Specialty Readings.

If we can run your Human Design chart, we can identify your Soul Purpose, your Life Purpose and the integration of both. All we need is your birth date, birth place, and reasonably accurate birth time. If birth time is not known, we’ll narrow it down together and use the chart that best fits you. (This is called rectifying the chart, and it works remarkably well.)

There may not be a super-specific single action to take (like, go to veterinarian school or become a photographer) but you WILL have much greater clarity about the themes of each aspect of you and how they relate to each other. And you’ll be able to identify and feel the resonance of the intersection of the two.

As you know, Human Design doesn’t tell you what to DO. It illuminates Who You Are and gives you the decision-making process that innately aligns your choices with YOUR inner Truth. It’s like teaching someone to fish instead of just giving them a fish. Understanding your unique design will serve you for a lifetime and give you lifelong alignment with your inner guidance.

I’ve been studying and working with Human Design professionally since 2009. I continually up-level my skills and explore new depths in HD and compatible arenas. I am a 1/3 Projector with depth and details in my chart—so I like to be thorough AND practical! I have Level 4 Human Design Specialist certification and Level 3 Healing by Human Design (Quantum Alignment) Specialist certification (those are highest levels currently offered).

I am passionate about helping people know and love themselves… so they can step into their full power and magnificence, and fulfill their unique purpose in this lifetime. And this is what I want for YOU. These new Soul Purpose Alignment Readings are an extraordinary vehicle for accomplishing this quickly and with great accuracy.
