Human Design is a system that combines elements of astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and quantum physics to provide insight into a person’s unique personality and life path. One of the key components of Human Design is the Emotional Theme, which is a set of characteristics that define a person’s essential emotional nature.
There are five Human Design Types, and each type has a Signature Emotional Theme and a Not-Self Emotional Theme. These themes provide a window into a person’s emotional strengths and tendencies, and can help individuals better understand themselves and their emotional responses.
