Matteen (also known as Matteen Terrany) spent a career building systems — on Wall Street, then in his own companies. Now he builds the ones that help people understand themselves.
Everything Matteen has ever done comes back to one question: how is this actually built — and how do you make a better decision once you can see it?
Matteen studied computer science, mathematics, and physics — three different languages for the same instinct: take a thing apart, find the pattern, rebuild it until it works. That instinct has never left him.
He spent a decade in corporate America on Wall Street, running technology and building the systems that move money and information at scale. Then he went out on his own — a marketing company, a software company, and a medical partnership he helped build to a nine-figure valuation — advising other founders along the way and giving back, founding EveryOrganDonor.com in 2011 and later joining the board of Make Our Schools Safe.
Look closely and the same shape repeats. His chart names it outright: Uranus — the planet of disruption and innovation — sits on his Midheaven in Scorpio, the point that governs your public work. It's the mark of someone built to walk into a field, transform it, and move on. Scorpio doesn't tweak; it rebuilds.
Ran technology and built the systems behind the trading floor — how money and information move at scale.
Founded a marketing company — learning how attention and positioning actually move a market.
Built a software company, turning messy processes into clean products.
Partnered with a medical company and helped build it to a nine-figure valuation.
Now turning the same eye on the oldest field of all — understanding yourself — through Matteen Labs and HumanCharts.com.
Then the pandemic flipped his life upside down. With everything in motion, Matteen turned the same systems-thinking inward — toward self-understanding and self-awareness.
It wasn't entirely new territory — he'd always used frameworks to read people: how they're wired, what drives them, who belongs on a team. In 2020 that instinct turned into real study. He started with DISC and motivators, which pulled him into Human Design in December 2021 — and then numerology, the Chinese zodiac, and Western astrology.
In Human Design, a nodal shift is a midlife turning point — usually in the early 40s — when a person's orientation changes and a new sense of direction takes hold. Matteen reached his in August 2021, and it turned him toward the work he does now.
The shift made him what his own chart had always described: The Mystical Scientist. It isn't a phrase he reached for — it's in the placements. A Capricorn rising ruled by a methodical Virgo Saturn (the skeptic, the builder, the engineer), held in harmony with a Sagittarius sun in the twelfth house beside Neptune (the seeker drawn to the unseen). The scientist and the mystic, trined together.
Because he spent most of his life on the skeptical side — the one who grew up not believing in any of this — he can actually speak to it. He doesn't ask anyone to take it on faith. A foundation in mathematics, physics, and computer science, and a career spent building systems, lets him translate these tools into something practical and grounded. That merging of the spiritual and the practical is exactly what he brings.
He didn't treat these as separate hobbies. He treated them the way he'd treated every system before: as lenses that, combined, reveal more than any one of them alone.
So he built each its own home — and then brought them together into one: HumanCharts.com. The goal is the whole mission — make it easy for anyone to understand themselves, without being at the mercy of a chart reader.
That's the map. For the people who want to go further than reading a chart — who want to actually decide by it — he opened the Inner Circle on Matteen.com.
"I don't predict your future. I build the structure that lets you decide it."
Matteen · Decision-making, by design
Everything now lives in two connected homes — both built by Matteen Labs.
The self-knowledge platform. Free Human Design, astrology, and numerology charts — your blueprint, self-serve, no reader required.
Where Matteen teaches: live webinars, MATTEEN.ai, and the Inner Circle — turning the charts into better decisions. (The Education App is on the way.)
HumanCharts shows you the map; the Inner Circle is where you learn to walk it. It's a private, by-application membership for people who want to live this — not read a chart once and move on. Members get direct access to Matteen, two live workshops a month, and a library that pairs the charting systems with the practical craft of building a business — branding, marketing, project management, AI — plus a license to MATTEEN.ai. Kept small on purpose.
Matteen works alongside his wife, Jasmin Terrany, LMHC — creator of Life Therapy™ and holder of two Master's degrees from Columbia University. Together they meet people on both the therapeutic and the strategic levels.
He founded EveryOrganDonor.com in 2011 to help address the U.S. organ shortage, and serves on the board of Make Our Schools Safe, the nonprofit founded by Lori and Ilan Alhadeff after the loss of their daughter Alyssa in Parkland.
