A free Human Design chart computed from your exact birth moment. No account, no paywall. The calculation is real astronomy, verified 624/624 against an independent ephemeris. The interpretation is a lens, not a verdict, and the site says so plainly.

I built this because every free Human Design chart tool I tried did one of two
things: gated the result behind an email, or wrote about the system as though it
were settled science.
DefinedSelf does neither. The chart is free, there's no account, and the
calculation is checkable β the engine is verified 624 of 624 activations against
an independent ephemeris across 24 reference charts spanning 1940 to 2025,
including the second sky taken 88 degrees of solar arc before birth, which is the
part most tools get quietly wrong.
The part I care most about is the honesty layer. There's a page explaining that
the meanings laid over the astronomy have never been scientifically validated,
that reference sources class the system as pseudoscience, and that the Barnum
effect explains a good deal of why a chart feels personally accurate β including
the ones on this site. It seemed strange to build a self-knowledge tool that
couldn't survive being honest about itself.
Happy to answer anything about the astronomy, the timezone handling, or why the
design date is 88 degrees rather than 88 days.

The exact birth time requirement was a nice touch, and seeing the source code reference the Swiss Ephemeris gave me confidence in the numbers. Nice that the interpretation copy is upfront about being a lens rather than a verdict.

@vic_croftsΒ Thank you, and you've put your finger on the right thing, though the mechanism sits one layer back from where it looks.
The chart you get is computed by astronomy-engine, running in your browser. The Swiss Ephemeris connection is real, but it's the independent oracle the engine is validated against β a 24-chart battery spanning 1940β2025 where all 624 activations have to match exactly, including the design sky taken 88Β° of solar arc before birth. So it isn't that the Swiss Ephemeris draws your chart; it's that your chart isn't allowed to disagree with it.
One correction in fairness: the repo is private, so whatever you were reading wasn't our source; I'd genuinely like to know what it was.
If checkability is the part you liked, definedself.com/data has the engine's own measurements with their methods and limits attached.
