Nicki Minaj’s Human Design Chart
It’s Nicki Minaj’s birthday and the release of her newest album, Pink Friday 2.
That means it’s time to whip out Nicki Minaj’s complicated Human Design chart.
There’s no current public record of Nicki Minaj’s birth time. Astrologers have used rectification calculators (which seem to hover around 8 am-11 am) or went with 12:00 as her birth time.
I also went with 12:00, but I ran her chart for inconsistencies, which I share in the next section.
It’s impossible to get an accurate read on Nicki Minaj’s Human Design type, authority, and profile
I ran 8 instances of her chart based on suggested inconsistencies.
Here are the major ones:
Midnight: 5/1 Sacral Generator
00:59: 5/1 Emotional Generator
04:58: 5/2 Emotional Generator
07.54: 5/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator
11:01: 6/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator
12:00: 6/2 Emotional Manifestor
15.43: 6/2 Sacral Generator
21:11: 6/2 Sacral Generator
With this many variables, we’re 0 for 3:
❌type/strategy
❌authority
❌profile
The readable parts of Nicki Minaj’s Human Design chart
Here are three parts of Nicki Minaj’s chart that don’t change:
✨Her incarnation cross aka her life’s purpose theme.
⛰️Her Environment from the primary health system.
🔺Her completely open ego/heart center (image below).
The Left Angle Cross of Separation (5/35 | 47/22) Incarnation Cross
First, let’s break down the Left Angle Cross (LAX) part.
Left Angle people incarnated with karma tied to other people. Their life’s purposes are based on who they’re involved with. LAX people end up being figures who take care of and influence the collective.
It doesn’t matter what it looks like. These people blaze for us and keep us warm with their fire while we tend to ourselves.
They often experience deja vu and believe in destiny because they have an unexplainable way of being in the right place at the right time with the right people as if they’re lucky.
But, as Nicki Minaj said in her first Pink Friday album, “No, I’m not lucky, I’m blessed.”
She summed up her expression of Left Angle Cross in those six words.
The Cross of Separation shows a journey that begins by being with groups of people. This is where community, family, etc. are found, but this incarnation cross feels the tug to separate themselves at some point.
✂️It’s not about cutting ties. It’s about stepping back into their own auras and focusing on their sense of self.
This seems contradictory to the idea that Left Angle Crosses incarnated for the collective, but bear with me.
Cross of Separation: Self-sufficient and Independent
Cross of Separation people are self-sufficient and independent. They don’t like being fussed over. They do their own thing, their own way, their own time and it’s best to leave them alone when they’re in their zone.
It’s in their nature to detach.
Cross of Separation: The Caretaker
This is also a caretaker’s incarnation cross.
If Nicki Minaj assumes the role of someone’s caretaker (this term isn’t confined to a traditional nanny type), it needs to be because she wants to. She must have a genuine passion for that person or community.
This is further reinforced by her Environment, which we’ll get to in the next section.
Caveat: helping people isn’t the core of this life’s purpose.
The separation part comes in when other people need Nicki Minaj’s help (her caretaker nature). This incarnation cross doesn’t set out to be a hero. It doesn’t need other people to clap and validate her.
The Cross of Separation is a powerful means of saying yes to a situation, detaching/separating from the issue (which includes the person/people who needed help), and giving objective advice.
There’s no bullshit. She’s designed to feel out the situation; whatever comes up is the truth she believes. That’s it. No argument.
And since she has no need for external validation (we’ll talk more about that in the ego/heart section), she doesn’t find her purpose in people’s gratitude.
Instead, this incarnation cross wraps back to Nicki Minaj, and she is fulfilled by knowing she made something happen.
Mountains (Active) Environment in Human Design
I mentioned that Cross of Separation people do their own thing, their own way, their own time, and it’s best to leave them alone when they’re in their zone.
Nicki Minaj’s Mountains (Active) means that she’s someone who is at the center of attention (“When I walk in, sit up straight– I don’t give a fuck if I was late”) wherever she goes– and it will always be on her schedule.
Mountains (Active) people are the epitome of CEO energy.
On the physical side, they thrive in elevated spaces, such as the top of an apartment building. This gives Nicki Minaj an obvious way to separate and detach.
On the technical side, it also gives her a wide view of the people around her. Think of any movie where the boss is standing in the tower, watching over the company.
That’s the Mountains (Active) Environment.
Those with this Environment have high standards- actually, let me backtrack.
Their high standards are their normal standards.
The rest of us see it as high because it’s above our norm.
To get to a Mountains person and work with them, you have to climb the mountain. They won’t take the elevator down and meet you halfway. They don’t baby you when you cower in their energy.
But getting to someone with Active Mountains is just the beginning.
Now you have to maintain that standard or get out.
Nicki Minaj’s expression of Active Mountains is interesting. Jay-Z pulled her aside and told her that she would always be held to a higher standard because she’s a female rapper.
➡️Side note: I mentioned that Nicki Minaj’s profile is also unclear.
Here are the profile variations I mentioned above
Midnight: 5/1
00:59: 5/1
04:58: 5/2
07.54: 5/2
11:01: 6/2
12:00: 6/2
15.43: 6/2
21:11: 6/2
Profiles with ‘5’ or ‘2’ are projected upon. They have a highly seductive and mysterious aura because they do their best work when self-isolating. But that means people are constantly wondering what they’re doing, and they ‘project’ narratives and rumors onto them.
Due to this projection, it is rare for a ‘5’ or a ‘2’ to be seen for who they are. They are seen as the projection of who other people need/want/believe them to be.
Nicki Minaj likely has a ‘5’ or ‘2’ or both in her profile.
Yes, she maintains her high standards.
But people will always look up at that Mountain she’s in and criticize it. But can’t even climb up to where she is, let alone surpass her Mountain’s standard.
Nicki Minaj’s Open Ego/Heart Center
Here’s what the open ego/heart center means:
You have the advantage of not being driven by ego-based desires or the need for recognition. This allows you to interact and make commitments based on genuine interest and sincerity rather than from a place of proving yourself or seeking approval.
This plays beautifully with her Left Angle Cross of Separation and Mountains Environment.
Open ego/heart people get taken advantage of when their self-esteem and self-value are weak. They overgive, believing that the ‘more’ of themselves they give up, the more esteem and value they will accrue.
They are also designed to be non-competitive in a dog-eat-dog world. It’s because those with this center defined (only 30% of the population) operate from a place of willpower until the other parties submit and concede.
Let me be clear: this isn’t about rolling over and letting people walk all over them. The open ego/heart center people are capable of thriving in dog-eat-dog when they don’t care about competing with others. Their only competition is themselves.
This is why Nicki Minaj is untouchable.
Another solid move of open ego/heart center people is utilizing a lawyer to negotiate on their behalf. This reinforces and protects the value. Nicki Minaj mentioned that early in her career, she hired a lawyer to make sure that she didn’t sign a 360 deal and to make sure she was compensated correctly.
Putting Nicki Minaj’s Human Design chart together
Recap:
✨Left Angle Cross of Separation: life’s purpose is about influencing and working with the collective, but out of passion and genuine desire.
⛰️Mountains (Active): high ground, high standards.
5️⃣2️⃣Potential ‘5’ or ‘2’ Profile: constantly projected upon.
🔺Undefined Heart/Ego: immovable when equipped with strong esteem and self-value.
The core of a Human Design reading is based on type, strategy, and authority first.
For example, since she has an undefined heart/ego, her strategy and authority will let her know how a relationship or contract affects her sense of esteem and value. But I can’t describe how it happens without knowing the strategy and authority.
That’s fine, though. It’s more necessary when working with private clients since I share how to explore their chart through strategy and authority.
In a celebrity read, we can look at the traits.
To sum up Nicki Minaj’s Human Design, this woman was born an independent artist. Her art comes before all the fame, etc.
She isn’t dependent on other people. She spoke about how many times she’d been rejected, and she would just go home and keep writing.
She even said that she never depended on Lil Wayne, and she was kicked out of Young Money at some point because she had a show unrelated to Wayne.
It’s the art.
To tie it back into her incarnation cross, she influenced the way female rappers were looked at. She was forced to defend herself, her writing, and her relationships over and over. But she still managed to separate herself (incarnation cross) and hold her ground (strong open heart/ego center).
“Name a rapper that can channel Big Poppa and push out Papa Bear
Whole mother of the year
Every summer, I come out to walk bitches, make 'em disappear
But to me, it's just another year”
-Barbie Dangerous, Pink Friday 2
