Glossary

The Sun sign is the zodiac sign occupied by the Sun at birth. Astrological interpretation uses it as an image for identity and conscious direction. A useful question is: what matters to me and how do I express it?

The Moon sign is the zodiac sign occupied by the Moon at birth. Astrology connects it with needs and emotional familiarity. Personal experience shows which situations actually provide support.

The Ascendant is the zodiac sign on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. It is interpreted as a perspective on presentation and encounters. Its calculation needs a reliable birth time and birthplace.

The twelve houses organise the birth chart into symbolic areas of life, such as everyday routines, relationships or work. A planet in a house connects its interpretive theme with that area. House placement also depends on birth time and location.

Transits compare planetary positions on a selected date with the birth chart. The calculated contacts provide prompts for reflection. Specific experiences help assess whether an interpretation fits the day.

In astrology, Venus represents preferences, enjoyment and how relationships are shaped. Its interpretation can help start a conversation about appreciation. A person’s actual likes and needs are clarified through conversation.

A conjunction is an angle close to 0 degrees between two chart positions. Interpretation considers their themes together. The connection that is read depends on the factors involved.

A sextile is an angle close to 60 degrees. Astrology often interprets it as an opportunity for different themes to work together. A practical question is which skills could complement each other in a task.

A square is an angle close to 90 degrees. Astrological interpretation treats the themes involved as a field of tension. In everyday life, consider which differing wishes need clear coordination.

A trine is an angle close to 120 degrees. Astrology often reads it as a well-connected combination of themes. Specific experiences show which forms of cooperation actually come easily.

An opposition is an angle close to 180 degrees. Astrological interpretation places two themes opposite one another. This can invite consideration of both perspectives and a suitable agreement.

Fire, Earth, Air and Water group the zodiac signs by symbolic themes. Fire represents initiative, Earth stability, Air exchange and Water experience. The grouping offers a language for reflection rather than a complete personality profile.

Cardinal, fixed and mutable are three groups of zodiac signs. Astrology connects them with beginning, maintaining and adapting. All three approaches can help in different situations.

Retrograde motion is the apparent backward movement of a planet as seen from Earth. Astrology treats it as a prompt for review. It does not create a general rule against beginning something new.

The lunar nodes are the intersections of the Moon’s orbit with the ecliptic. Astrological interpretation uses them as images for familiar patterns and new perspectives on development. Personal choices remain open.

Synastry compares two birth charts. It places astrological themes alongside one another and can provide specific conversation prompts. Relationship quality becomes visible through actual behaviour, agreements and shared experience.

Type is a basic classification in the Human Design model. ELANUM distinguishes Generator, Manifesting Generator, Manifestor, Projector and Reflector. The descriptions offer suggestions about action, exchange and pauses.

Authority describes a recommended approach to decisions within the HD model. Its description can help with noticing impressions and needs. Available information, commitments and the significance of the decision remain relevant.

Strategy is the action recommendation associated with an HD type. It includes responding, informing, welcome contributions and observation over time. In everyday life, a suggestion can be explored voluntarily in a specific situation.

The profile combines two lines in an HD chart, such as 3/5 or 4/6. Its interpretation offers themes about learning and relating to other people. It does not assign a fixed role in life.

The nine centres are thematic areas in the energy chart. Definition through channels is shown in colour; other centres remain white. The interpretation distinguishes model features, not better or worse people.

Channels connect two gates and their associated centres. When both gates are activated, the channel is defined in the chart. Its theme can provide a starting point for specific self-observation.

The 64 gates in the HD model refer to the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. Each gate has an interpretive theme. An activated gate can appear on its own or with the other gate of a complete channel.

The energy chart is the visual overview of an HD chart, with centres, gates and channels. Colours and connections show calculated model features. The individual elements allow the interpretation to be explored step by step.

The Not-Self Theme is an HD term for type-related reflection themes such as frustration, anger, bitterness or disappointment. These feelings can have many causes. A useful question is what is needed in the specific situation.

The Incarnation Cross connects the Sun and Earth gates of both chart sides into a broader interpretive theme. It can serve as an image for recurring questions. It does not establish a predetermined life purpose.

Determination, also called Digestion, is an HD variable used to symbolically consider conditions for taking things in. Its description can prompt questions about a comfortable daily setting. It is not an individual nutrition or treatment recommendation.

HD Environment uses images such as Caves, Markets, Kitchens, Mountains, Valleys and Shores. They invite exploration of suitable conditions for activities. Personal observation can show whether quiet, exchange or perspective helps.

Motivation is an HD variable with six thematic labels. It offers a prompt to consider the reasons for an action. A label does not automatically explain what actually motivates a person.

Perspective, also called View, describes a possible focus within the HD model. An exercise is to describe the same situation from several viewpoints. This leaves room for additional information.

Cognition is an HD variable with symbolic sensory associations. It can encourage attention to different forms of perception. It does not measure which senses perform best.

Aura describes a symbolic pattern of contact within the HD model. Terms such as open or focused belong to that interpretive language. The people involved determine how an encounter is actually experienced.

The four arrows summarise HD variables visually. Left and right are associated with different approaches within the model. Their interpretation can invite comparison of ways of working and observing.

The Life Path is a number derived from the birth date. Numerology assigns it a symbolic theme. A useful reflection is which personal experiences fit that theme and which go beyond it.

The personal year combines the birth date with a calendar year into a numerological theme. The number offers a perspective for plans and reviews. It does not predict events or favourable decision dates.

In certain numerological calculations, 11, 22 and 33 are treated separately as master numbers. Interpretation associates them with themes such as inspiration, implementation and compassion. This does not make a person more valuable.

The Expression Number, also called Destiny Number, is derived from the letters of the name. It provides a numerological theme about expression. Abilities and goals develop and become visible in actual life.

The Soul Urge Number is derived from the vowels of the name. Its symbolic interpretation invites exploration of personal wishes. What truly matters can be expressed by the person themselves.

The Personality Number is derived from the consonants of the name. Numerology reads it as a perspective on visible expression. Feedback from others remains the concrete basis for understanding how a person is perceived.

The Resonance Score summarises selected model comparisons. Its meaning depends on the specific analysis and available data. It is not a measured probability of love, success or a good relationship; each view explains its basis.

Soul Kosmos is the self-discovery area of ELANUM. Today, Me, Connections and My Path connect personal interpretations, reflection and shared everyday themes. Resonances is the separate dating area.

The personal analysis brings astrology, Human Design and numerology together in a structured overview. Short explanations lead to deeper themes and technical foundations. Missing data limits the analysis available.

Daily Energy combines date-related model themes with short questions and practical suggestions. Personal details and calculated date information determine the selection. A personal review shows which suggestion was actually useful.

Your dossier brings selected analyses together in a PDF. Its content and length depend on the perspective, template and available details. The preview shows whose data and which themes are included.

The pair analysis compares the model features of two people. It can highlight differences, shared themes and conversation prompts. The people themselves decide what fits their experience.

Soul Signals express interest in the dating area. They refer to a profile visible there. One expression of interest does not yet create a mutual connection.

The SoulChain belongs to the existing invitation system. The invitation view shows its current status and conditions. An invitation does not automatically share personal analyses or answers.

Resonance Focus refers to filters in the dating area. They narrow visible profiles using selected criteria. A matching filter result is an opportunity to get acquainted, not a judgement about a relationship.

The combined energy chart overlays the activations of two HD charts. It shows shared definition and the origin of connections. The individual charts remain distinct.

A companionship channel occurs when both people have the same complete channel defined. This is a shared model feature. Conversation can explore whether both experience its theme similarly.

Gates of Love is a name for selected HD gates with interpretive themes around care and relationships. A shared gate can offer a conversation prompt. It does not establish attraction or relationship quality.

The Connection Theme describes how many centres are defined and undefined in the combined energy chart. It is a structural feature of the model. The number combination does not establish a healthier or better relationship.

The Maturity Number is derived numerologically from the Life Path and Expression Number. Its interpretation offers another perspective on personal development. It does not predict a relationship’s long-term outcome.
