Head Center in Human Design

This is the center of mental pressure. It is an internal source of thoughts and inspiration. The pressure of the Head Center makes people solve global issues, think about the meaning of life, their purpose and everything that happens in their daily lives.
  • Functions in the Structure of the Psyche: Mental pressure, inspiration for the mind
  • Biological consistency: the pineal gland and the brain structures responsible for long-term memory.
  • Type: a pressure center.
  • The «Not-Self» strategy: strives to answer questions that have nothing to do with their life.
  • Manifestation: questions, doubts, confusion.
Head Center is definite in 30% of people, undefined in 70%.

Profile Summary Head Center

The pressure of this Center serves as fuel for our brain, and it is important to use it correctly. If it is aimed at learning, learning new things and finding answers, it helps to generate new (sometimes brilliant) ideas and concepts. If it does not find a way out, then it closes in itself, leading to confusion and doubts. Most of the work of this Center takes place on an unconscious level, however, it is quite simple to feel it: it manifests itself as an irresistible desire to understand something, find a way out of some situation, or somehow express the surging inspiration or insight.

Defined Head center
В корректности The owners of a certain Head Center always have their own sources of inspiration and favorite topics that interest and amuse them. As a rule, such people are distinguished by their originality of thinking and worldview and are able to inspire others with this. They constantly think about something and try to understand everything - this is a normal state for them, which is better to make friends with, and not try to get rid of. Depending on the correct expression of their inspiration, such people can both give rise to global ideas and concepts, and go crazy from the incessant internal dialogue.
В некорректности When it is not working correctly, such a person may feel constant anxiety for any reason or no reason at all. Most often, it manifests as obsessive thoughts and an urge to figure out anything except the matters that actually need their attention. Without sufficient patience and awareness, this leads only to pointless actions and rash decisions.
Undefined Head Center
В корректности Holders of an Undefined Head Center draw inspiration, ideas and topics for reflection from the outside world. With the correct living of their Design, such people freely pass this pressure through themselves, without trying to hold it or find answers to all questions. They clearly see who inspires them and who causes anxiety and confusion, and, based on this, they choose pleasant places and companies for themselves. In incorrect living, such susceptibility to other people's thoughts and changeability in worldview can devastate and take a lot of energy to think or even implement other people's ideas. It's useful for such people to remember that they shouldn't be identified with what they think: they're not their thoughts. Having learned to reflect (pass without holding) other people's thoughts, such people are able to gain wisdom and amazing flexibility of worldview.
В некорректности When lived incorrectly, the pressure to look for answers, to act, and to think about what does not matter can lead a person to hasty conclusions, undue carelessness, and inner anxiety. In such a case it is worth paying more attention to your priorities in life rather than trying to solve the mysteries of the universe, which, in any case, tend to give way to new ones at the speed of light. Before spending time and energy contemplating and/or implementing new ideas, such people should remember that they are not their thoughts.
Open Head Center
В корректности If the owner of an undefined Parietal Center thinks about what does not matter to him, then the owner of an open one does not know at all what is interesting to him. He is able to literally think about anything, being unable to recognize when one thing is more inspiring than another. There is no prejudice here, there is no opportunity to catch on to something interesting. If they live their Design incorrectly, such people may have a problem with making decisions - they will make them, guided only by the thought that is in their head at the moment. Not knowing what to focus on often leads to being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information and not wanting to make decisions at all. Do not forget that the consequences and nature of the conditioning of your undefined or open Centers by the people around you and planetary transits directly depend on the correctness of your living your Design!
В некорректности When lived incorrectly, such a person has no idea what genuinely interests them, latches on to any thought that comes into their head, and makes decisions based on it. Ignoring what really matters and not knowing what to focus on lead to pointless busyness, low spirits, and an unwillingness to take responsibility.
Keep in mind that the consequences and nature of the conditioning of your undefined or open Centres by the people around you and planetary transits directly depend on the correctness of your living your Design!
