Human Design Compatibility

How two designs meet — connection charts explained

A Human Design connection chart overlays two bodygraphs and reads how their energies meet — the channels you complete together, the centers you condition in each other, and the way your types and authorities make decisions side by side.

The four ways two charts connect

Electromagnetic

Each person carries one half of a channel — together they complete it, generating energy neither has alone. This is the spark of attraction, and the friction that rides along with it.

Companionship

Both people already have the whole channel — shared, stable common ground where they simply understand each other with no effort.

Compromise

One person has the full channel, the other only half of it. The full-channel person sets the tone; the other is drawn into their frequency — workable, but it asks for give and take.

Dominance

One person has the full channel and the other has nothing in it. That energy flows one way, consistently conditioning the open person.

Center conditioning

Where one person has a defined center and the other has it open, the defined person steadily conditions the open one — a consistent, often unspoken influence. Centers open in both amplify together; centers defined in both are fixed common ground.

Circuits

Every connecting channel runs through a circuit, which colours what the connection is about: Individual (mutation, uniqueness), Tribal (support, resources), Collective (sharing, logic), and Integration (self-empowerment).
