Definition in Human Design tells you how you process information and how your energy moves through your bodygraph. It tells you if you’re more independent and how you work within a team and/or a relationship.
There are 5 types of Definition in Human Design. There’s a single definition, split, triple split, quadruple split, and no definition – for Reflectors.
Around 41% of our population has a Single Definition.
How can you tell if you have a Single Definition
Definition is a pretty basic layer of Human Design so wherever you look up your chart, you’ll most likely find the information on your Definition.
Other than that, you can tell by simply looking at your chart. Single Definition has all defined centers and channels connected in one continuous flow.
What does it mean to have a Single Definition in Human Design
As someone with a Single Definition, you’re naturally independent. Often times, you can even feel like other people get in the way or interrupt your flow.
You don’t need anyone else to make you feel whole. Everything within you is already connected and in flow.
As kids, these are often the kids that would go out and do their own thing while split definition would more likely stay at arm’s length.
You can process information quickly and on your own. There’s always nuance in Human Design, so if you have a Single Definition and an Emotional Authority – you’ll need more time to feel things out and process your experiences.
When it comes to relationships, here is what Ra Uru Hu, the founder of Human Design said:
”But if you’re a Single Definition and you enter into a relationship, the relationship isn’t giving you any sense of wholeness. “I don’t need anybody,” by Design.
You’re a single definition and you have a compromise with whomever, you’re taking knives out of your pocket. “I don’t want to have anything to do with you.” Because there’s nothing that says you can’t afford to give these people up.”
Split Definition might want to work things out and stay in a relationship while Single Definition is the one that can have a tendency to just leave.

My experience having a Single Definition in Human Design
In relationships, I like having my own life and having my relationships add to it.
I like having my personal life, my work, my hobbies, go on solo dates, take solo trips on my own, etc.
For example, if I want to go to Paris and I have a partner who can’t come with me, I’m still going.
I love relationships, intimacy, and the depth that can be created when people are in a relationship. But I also like having my own space and time for myself.
Don’t get me wrong, when I’m in a relationship I’m all in. I don’t half-ass my relationships, but I also have the mindset of – I got me and I’m good with myself. And if I’m with you, it’s not because I need you, it’s because I want you.
PIN FOR LATER 🙂
Single Definition when it comes to processing information, if something happened and you need to process that, or when you’re learning new things
I prefer being on my own instead of talking it out with someone when it comes to making conclusions and forming opinions on what I just processed.
I don’t like having a coach. Over the years, I’ve had multiple coaches and I prefer doing things on my own. I don’t like involving other people in my process.
When I used to work with coaches, every week a coach would ask me what went well/what didn’t work and I’d much rather reflect on that on my own. I prefer reflecting and learning on my own, rather than having someone interrupt the process with their questions and opinions.
When you look at the bodygraph of someone who has a Single Definition, you can see that everything is already connected and creates a flow within the person. Having someone else interrupt that flow is unnecessary. That’s my experience, at least.
Also, if you’re a Mental Projector or Self-Projected Projector – it’s beneficial for you to talk things out when you’re making decisions, so there’s also nuance when it comes to that part.
Traveling as a Single Definition
Personally, I mostly travel alone because I can’t be bothered waiting for people to become available to join me.
However, even when I’m traveling with someone else, I need time to wander on my own to really understand the energy of the city/see who I am in that city (hello open G center). It’s not unusual for me to plan something for myself or take a few hours to explore on my own, even when I’m traveling with someone else.
