Resources for Deeper Exploration

Your Gene Keys Profile is a personalised map of your inner being. It shows you the archetypal patterns that block the natural manifestation of your Genius (Shadows), and how to transform these patterns into your Gifts.

Rather than being a fixed set of blueprints, your Profile represents a great journey you are on in life – to unlock the latent higher capacities of your Genius.

Take a look at the words that appear in your Profile and you will have some idea of your highest potentials in life as well as the challenges that you are here to overcome.

To understand these words and bring them alive in your life is the whole work of this wisdom.

Embark on a three-day voyage into the algorithms of awakening. This short experiential course gives you a simple introduction to the amazing world of the Gene Keys. On this journey you are invited to apply the insights from your Profile to an actual challenge occurring in your life right now, so that you can experience the transformational power of the Gene Keys first-hand.

Frequency Bands

In the Gene Keys Synthesis, the vibratory rate of your aura is mirrored in three frequency ‘bands’ known as the Shadow, the Gift and the Siddhi. Although there are in fact many layers or bandwidths of frequency, this threefold language makes the Gene Keys simple to understand, contemplate and ultimately embody. The three frequency bands are laid out precisely through the Spectrum of Consciousness – the linguistic map of the 64 Gene Keys and their frequency bands.

The 11 Spheres​

In each Sphere of your Profile you will see a number between 1 and 64. This number represents your unique Gene Key for that Sphere, which is determined by the date, time and place of your birth. We can awaken the higher components of each of our Gene Keys by contemplating them over time and in sequence.
Your Life’s Work/Brand: This aspect of your Profile and its relevant Gene Key highlights the ideal arena of your external work in the world. This is the role that most suits your creative expression and that allows you the full freedom to be yourself without compromise. The Shadow of this Gene Key describes what tends to occur around you when you lose touch with your true self. At the other end of the spectrum, the Siddhi or highest potential of this Gene Key describes you living at the absolute zenith of your genetic potential. In your Pearl Sequence this Sphere is known as your ‘Brand’, as it guides you in how best to express your highest Gifts, in order that you can achieve true recognition in life.
Your Evolution: In direct opposition to your Life’s Work, your Evolution represents the single greatest challenge in your life. The purpose of this Gene Key is to inspire you to grow, mature and eventually flourish. The challenge of your Evolution will manifest both internally and externally through its Shadow frequency. As you learn to embrace this aspect of yourself so your life will gradually be transformed. The highest purpose of your Evolution is to allow you to transcend your own suffering and ultimately find deep and lasting peace.
Your Radiance: Your Radiance has a direct bearing on your physical, emotional and mental health. As one of your hidden Gifts, this Gene Key will either undermine your health and wellbeing through its Shadow frequency or bring great love and vitality to you through its Gift. The Radiance also has an indirect relationship to your Evolution. The more you listen to and learn from the lessons of your life, the more radiant you become. At its very highest level, your Radiance represents the final flowering of your highest mystical potential.
Your Purpose: Your other hidden Gift, your Purpose, lies hidden deep within your DNA. When you trust in your highest dreams and have the courage to manifest them through your Life’s Work, then your Purpose begins to nourish you from deep within your being. When you ignite the Gift of this Gene Key then you activate the forces of synchronicity and grace in your outer life. Your Purpose is all laid out for you already, and all you have to do is unlock it. This can only occur as you embrace your own inner nobility and express it through selfless service and unconditional love.
Your Attraction: Integral to your Venus Sequence, this Sphere represents your attractor field – a mysterious magnetic power in your aura that draws certain karmic relationships into your life at specific times. This Gene Key therefore determines the nature of who comes into your life. If you give way to the Shadow, then it will manifest as an ongoing external conflict that you will meet in your relationships. Once you have transformed the Shadow of this Gene Key, you will begin to discover its Gifts and your relationships will open up new vistas and possibilities. At the highest level, this Gene Key can also unlock the secrets of tantra – the transmutation of your sexuality into spiritual essence.
Your IQ: This Sphere relates to your third seven-year cycle from the age of 14 to 21. As this is our mental developmental cycle, the Shadow of this Gene Key governs the way in which you learned to use your mind to try and control your emotions and override your intuition. As you become aware of the pattern of this Gene Key and its controlling and stifling influence on your emotional life, so you can unlock its Gift. This will disable your primary emotional trigger, making you both less reactive and less provocative in all your relationships. Your IQ soars to encompass all possibilities in life when released from unconscious narrow-minded or opinionated thinking.
Your EQ: This Sphere relates to your second seven-year cycle from the age of 7 to 14. As this is our emotional developmental cycle, the Shadow of this Gene Key governs your primary emotional defence mechanism, which is the set pattern you adopted as a child whenever you felt unsafe. Once you have identified and released this pattern, you will become far more comfortable with your emotions, allowing them to flow naturally without feeling overwhelmed. The Gene Key relating to this point is also connected with the release of your own inner child, thus when the Gift of this Gene Key opens, you will experience a great surge of playfulness and freedom in your life. 
Your SQ: Also known as the ‘Love Point’, this Sphere relates to your first seven-year cycle from birth to age 7. As this is our physical developmental cycle, this Gene Key governs the primary physiological rhythms and structural patterns that are the basis of your identity. When your awareness reaches deep down into your Love Point, you are on the cusp of the permanent reopening of your heart for the first time since early childhood. The Shadow of this Gene Key is an unconscious pattern that undermines your self-esteem. Working through this Shadow and opening up the Gift and Siddhi of this Gene Key ensures that all your relationships can finally become deeply fulfilling and transparent.
Your Core/Vocation: The Sphere of your Core relates to the 9-month gestation period, when all your life’s patterns – physical, emotional and mental were imprinted inside your mother’s womb. Your Core reveals the final layer of your deepest potential. Woven into your DNA is an ancient wound that you share with all humanity. As your awareness penetrates this place inside yourself, so you will paradoxically experience your unity with all beings. The Shadow of this Gene Key conceals your highest Vocation – that great Gift that can one day motivate you to excel in life. As you unlock this Gene Key through following your Venus Sequence back through your childhood, you can one day bring your awareness back to the point of conception, to this wonderful mystery in which all your suffering is transformed into your Divinity.
Your Culture: The Gene Key of your Culture shows you how you best fit into the social fabric of the world. In your Pearl Sequence, the Shadow of this Gene Key directly blocks you from manifesting prosperity. By working through the fear in this Shadow, you can therefore open up a period of amazing growth in your life. The Gift and Siddhi of your Culture trigger the forces that catalyse your higher life purpose. They can also bring powerful new allies into your life to assist you in your Purpose. Your Culture also shows you how you are best designed to operate as part of a collectivity. It engenders material, emotional and spiritual prosperity.
Your Pearl: Your Pearl represents a great harvest in your life. This Gene Key brings you rewards and grace once you have let go of its underlying Shadow pattern. The Shadow of this Gene Key makes you tight, especially when you allow stress to lead you away from the beautiful and the simple. And you become tight when you succumb to the status quo, and compromise a life that could be exquisite for a life of drudgery and monotony. The Gift and Siddhi of this Gene Key remind you of what is essential in your life. When you bring your full awareness onto these Gifts, you will experience a clarity that most people can only dream of.

The Golden Path Program

Each of the Sequences in your Gene Keys Profile offers a possibility to unfold a specific aspect of your higher purpose in life. Even though these are viewed as separate sequences encoding aspects of your destiny, they are all interconnected. This means that as you contemplate your sequences in the framework of your daily life, you will activate all aspects of the Gene Keys Profile simultaneously, allowing you to witness dynamic changes in your life. Designed as a tool to work alongside the 64 Gene Keys, your Profile contains specific phrases and keywords that provide a starting point for in-depth contemplation and dialogue concerning the Gene Keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Gene Keys are neither astrology nor are they a traditional profiling system. Each Gene Key and its line is a touchstone for a process of inner transformation, therefore it is not necessary to be too fixated on the system itself. The power of this work comes from your willingness to own your own Shadow patterns and your ability to envision your life at its highest frequency. 

– Richard Rudd, The Hologenetic Profile

Some people have found interesting correlations with other systems of Astrology and Human Design, including different ways of calculating their profile (Vedic, Sidereal, etc). As Richard Rudd was not trained in these modalities, he does not have any input on alternative calculations. If you are astrological minded, perhaps you will feel drawn to try out your profile in one of these variations. 

For newcomers, we highly recommend you stick the to  basics. All of the programmes on genekeys.com will include the standard Hologenetic Profile calculations as you find it on the Free Profile page. The core teachings will reference this profile inside the Golden Path courses. 

Not all courses require your hologenetic profile, and you can find your own intuitive connection to the material. You are welcome to explore other ways of exploring your profile and the Gene Keys! The most important thing to keep in mind when contemplating this way is that the Map is not the Terrain. 

The Star Pearl adds a whole new layer to your Profile, with three new spheres, three new Gene Keys and multiple new pathways that are travelled in a non-linear way. Curious about those extra spheres? You can learn more here. 

Yes, other planets are incorporated into further Sequences that are currently in development.

In the Gene Keys system, Programming Partners are pairs of Gene Keys that are directly opposite each other on the astrological wheel, forming a dynamic interplay of energies. There are 64 Gene Keys, resulting in 32 pairs of Programming Partners. These pairs are intrinsically linked, each influencing and complementing the other.

What Are Programming Partners?

  • Oppositional Relationship: Each pair consists of two Gene Keys that are mirror opposites, both in their positioning on the astrological wheel and in their energetic qualities. For instance, if you’re contemplating the 7th Gene Key, its Programming Partner is the 13th Gene Key, positioned directly across from it. These two are always influencing each other, whether consciously acknowledged or not.
  • Hexagram Structure: In the I Ching’s hexagram system, Programming Partners exhibit a unique symmetry. If one hexagram comprises three yin lines followed by three yang lines, its partner will have the reverse: three yang lines followed by three yin lines. This structural opposition underscores their complementary nature.

Astrological software is based off a planetary database known as an “Ephemeris”. Different systems have different ways to calculate the location, time zone, and relationship to different planetary bodies. The Gene Keys Profile is based off of the most recently updated Swiss Ephemeris, and calculates by birth city location. While these calculations will be the same across most widely accepted astrology and human design programs, a small percentage of people may discover slight variations when compared to an older version of the profile.

The Attractor Field is a common place for this discrepency, as the moon is the fastest changing cosmic body used in the Hologenetic Profile, though you may also see it in other Spheres of the profile.

First, please be sure to double check your location, date and time of birth compared in both charts. Please note we use 24 hour clock when selecting your birth time.

If you still see a discrepancy of your Gene Key or line between your two profiles, this means the other program is based on a different Ephemeris or calculates location differently. You can read and contemplate the information given for both versions of your profile in the Golden Path Program and the Gene Keys book and trust your intuition to find the best fit for you.

Please note that some Human Design software estimates your location in order to generate a time zone difference, it is not always based on your exact birth city. For your Gene Keys profile specifically, we recommend running your profile on this website and not use third party software. If you prefer to adjust your Genekeys.com profile to match another system, you may need to adjust the birth time and/or location by a few degrees to match other astrological systems.

We do have it on our development list to allow “alternative calculations” as an expanded feature of our Profile Generator. But to avoid confusion for newcomers, we recommend everyone to try the Gene Keys profile as it has been generated on this website and see what insights emerge for you.

Sometimes people have 2 or more Spheres in their Profile with the same Gene Key. This demonstrates a major focus on this same theme in your life. The line keynotes may or may not be different as well. Wherever you spot a synchronicity in your profile, follow it with your gentle inquiry and playful curiosity. There is an important theme waiting for you inside this Gene Key.

Having two or more of the same Gene Key brings a much deeper significance to the theme of its Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi. As you Contemplate the Gene Key or Gene Keys that repeat in your Profile, try and penetrate the mystery of what this means for you. Allow the essence of that Gene Key to really infuse your being and bring its Gifts and Siddhis into your heart. In time, the essence and true meaning will reveal themselves to you through a reflection in your life.

For the astrologically minded: The Gene Keys are calculated from astrological coordinates. When two planetary bodies occupy the same range of degrees, they often share the same Gene Key. Every Gene Key lasts about 5.7 degrees in the zodiac. The Gene Keys also takes into account the planetary coordinates 88 days before birth. Many people have similar Gene Keys in their Pearl / Culture, because this is the slower moving planet of Jupiter, and may not leave the range of that key in 88 days. You will also see similar combinations of Activation Sequence, as there are 192 different combinations possible with the Prime Gifts, based on the geometry of what is known as the “Incarnation Cross” in Human Design.

The Gene Keys are accessible to all people, whether or not you know your birth time. For those who were adopted, or simply do not have access to their birthdate, location, and/or time can still find great benefit from these teachings. Below are a few examples of how to approximate your hologenetic profile, or which courses do not require inputting your birth time.

Check different profiles by approximating your birth time

If you do not know your accurate time, we suggest using the Free Profile and generate several different versions. We suggest starting with noon (12:00 PM). Your time of birth may not always have much effect on your Gene Keys Profile. It depends on whether you were born on or near a changing cusp. If in doubt, you can do several Profiles and try a range of times (e.g., early in the morning and late in the evening). Then compare the Profile report (especially looking at the Gene Key numbers) and see if there is any difference. If there is a difference, then you can read and contemplate the information given in the Golden Path Program and the Gene Keys book and trust your intuition to find the best fit for you.

Do I need to adjust for daylight savings or time zone?

No, the profiler will do these calculations for you. All you need to do is enter your birth time and the birth location (or any city within the same time zone as your birth town).

Ways to explore the Gene Keys without a birth date / time

While the Hologenetic Profile can be a very powerful way to explore the Gene Keys, they are all portals of wisdom available to anyone at any time. There are other courses that do not directly correlate to birthdate at all, and still provide potent contemplations for your life.

Courses without birthdate / time

  • Art of Contemplation
  • The Delta Programme
  • Seven Sacred Seals
  • The Epiphany Experience
  • Dare to be Divine

Other ways to contemplate the Gene Keys

  • Many people have found great insights by using the book or 64 Ways audios as an “oracle”. You can randomly choose one of the 64 keys by drawing a card, throwing the i ching, or randomly open the book to a specific chapter and draw wisdom from the present moment.
  • There are many beautiful decks and apps out there that reference the 64 hexagrams and can be used as an aid to contemplate the Gene Keys. Such as the Wisdom Keepers deck by Rosy Aronson, and the Gene Keys Synthesis Deck by Elijah Parker.
  • You can also visit https://genekeys.com/ home page and choose a random Gene Key via the generator there.
