About the author
Chetan Parkyn is credited with three titles connected to the Human Design system, an approach combining astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah's Tree of Life, and chakra theory. Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be (New World Library, 2010) introduces the system as a way to read an individual's energetic blueprint from their birth data. The Book of Destinies: Discover the Life You Were Born to Live extends the same framework into profiles of 192 "Life Themes," and a Chinese-language edition, also titled The Book of Destinies, was published in Taiwan in 2020. The books are written for readers curious about birth-chart-based self-analysis who want an alternative to conventional astrology, offering a structured, chart-driven language for describing personality and life direction rather than a historical or scholarly account of the practice.
