Podcast Description
Welcome to Nine Centered, the New School of Human Design Podcast: Where we have grounded conversations on Design, Deconditioning, and life through a nine centered lens.
This is a space for conversations that bring clarity, practicality, and embodiment. We dive deep into the real experiment of living your design, asking critical questions, challenging 7 centered narratives, and exploring new insights in the system that have emerged from years of lived experience.
This isn’t pop HD, and it’s not the pedantic legacy approach—it’s The New School of Human Design.

In this episode, we dive into the intricacies of Human Design composite charts—what happens when two charts merge to form a unique relational dynamic.
What we explore:
Composite “rhymes” like 9-0: Nowhere to Go and 8-1: Have Some Fun, and how different numbers of open centers shape relationship dynamics.
The composite as a third entity—how new channels, authorities, and defined centers influence a partnership.
The four types of channel connections (companionship, dominance, electromagnetics, and compromise) and how they create attraction, friction, or challenges.
- Navigating inner authority and communication in relationships, especially when partners process decisions and express themselves differently.
- Personal reflections and what we've learned from various relationships
- The future of relationships as society shifts from the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix—toward sovereignty, individuality, and spirit-lifting love
