Rave Cartography
The Deepest Dive Into the Mechanics Before Professional Training Begins
What Makes Rave Cartography Worth Your Time
If Rave ABCs teaches you to read the chart, Rave Cartography teaches you to understand why the chart works the way it does.
This is the longest of the three foundation courses — 18 online sessions — and the most technically dense. You go deep into the 9 Centers: not just what they mean, but how the not-self strategy of each undefined center operates and what it does to someone living from conditioning. You study the full hierarchy of Authority — not as a list to memorize, but as a mechanical understanding of how inner knowing actually works in each chart. You study Angles, and you study all 12 Profiles.
Dr. LaVeena B. Archers completed Rave Cartography as part of her foundation training and describes it as "where the system stops being parts and becomes a whole." The 12 Profiles alone — the costume of the soul, as Ra called it — take significant time to understand at a working level. This course gives you that time.
After Rave Cartography, the full BodyGraph is visible to you. Not as a static image, but as a dynamic mechanical system with its own logic. That's what the Professional Analyst Training then begins to teach you how to deliver.

Who Is Rave Cartography For?
- Students who have completed Rave ABCs and are continuing on the professional track
- Anyone who wants a genuine mechanical understanding of Human Design — not surface summaries
- Aspiring Professional Analysts: this is the last prerequisite before entering the 4-level PTL program
- HD practitioners who want to deepen their technical foundation and fill in gaps
What You'll Learn
- The 9 Centers in full depth — defined vs. undefined mechanics, not-self strategies for each
- The Hierarchy of Authority: Sacral, Splenic, Emotional, Ego, Self/G, Mental — how it works mechanically
- Definition in depth: Single, Split, Triple-Split, Quadruple-Split — how the body interacts with others
- The Life Force — Ra's model for energy flow through the chart
- The 12 Profiles — who you are in this life, your relationship to purpose and learning
- The 3 Angles — Right Angle, Left Angle, Juxtaposition Cross — and their significance in a chart
- Preparation for reading whole charts: integrating all three foundation courses into a coherent picture
