 CIRCUITS,  CHANNELS,  GATES  

THE  CIRCUIT  BOARD  OF  THE  LIFE  FORCE  
Circuitry  explores  the  way  energy  circulates  through  the  channels  within  the  BodyGraph:    it  reveals  
the   way   all   life   forms   are   differentiated   yet   designed   to   connect   with   each   other.     Circuits   are  
composed  of  channels;  a  channel  is  composed  of  two  gates  and  connects  two  Centers.  The  gates  are  
the   entry/exit   points   for   the   flow   of   energy   to   and   from   the   centers.     Centers   are   the   hubs   that  
transform   and   transmute   the   frequency.     The   flow   of   energy   through   a   chancel   is   like   a   spark   of   life  
that  establishes  communication  between  two  centers.    
The  resulting  life  force  definition  is  projected  and  communicated  through  our  auras;    it  influences  and  
conditions   those   close   to   us.     Definition   in   our   chart   both   defines   our   gifts   and   determines   our  
limitations  for  the  duration  of  our  lives.    Each  person’s  life  force  is  unique  and  distinguishable  from  all  
others.     Definition   represents   our   reason   for   incarnating,   and   it   must   be   expressed   through   us  
authentically   without   the   distortion   of   not-­‐self   conditioning.     There   are   36   channels   and   64   gates  
within   the   BodyGraph.     Circuitry   ties   them   together   and   gives   the   BodyGraph   a   solid   infrastructure.    
This   infrastructure   is   composed   of   the   Integration   Channel   and   three   Circuit   Groups   that   map   the  
routes  that  energy  flows  between  centers.    Circuitry  creates  a  general  frame-­‐work  for  interpreting  the  
chart  of  a  complex  human  being.    Each  channel,  with  its  two  gates,  adds  its  theme  to  that  framework.    
THE  INTEGRATION  CHANNEL  AND  THE  THREE  CIRCUIT  GROUPS  
Pressure   from   the   Head   and   Root   Centers   moves   energy   through   the   BodyGraph   toward   the   Throat  
Center  for  expression.    As  energy  flows  along  the  BodyGraph’s  pathways,  channels  and  their  gates  
are   bundled   together   forming   six   basic   circuits,   plus   four   additional   channels   that   form   the  
Integration  Channel.    The  six  basic  circuits  form  three  main  circuit  groups:  
• The  Individual  Circuit  Group  
• The  Collective  Circuit  Group  
• The  Tribal  Circuit  Group  
The  Integration  Group  is  a  distinct  and  unified  field  of  energy.    When  viewed  through  the  context  of  
circuitry,   the   definition   in   a   chart   shows   the   way   our   fundamental   natures,   values,   and   principles  
connect   to   and   interact   with   others.    It   is   often   here   that   the     source   of   resistance   and   conflict   be-­‐
tween  people  is  revealed,  along  with  their  conditioning.    Thus  the  keynotes  are  of  great  significance  in  
providing  important  insight  into  understanding  the  unique  frequency  of  one’s  auric  projection.      
Also,  the  channels  and  circuits  demonstrate  your  Incarnational  Cross  -­‐-­‐  your  overall  path  in  life.    These  
Incarnational   Crosses   come   in   Right   Angle,   Juxtaposition   and   Left   Angle   flavors,   and   each   channel   can  
show  up  in  any  of  those  flavors,  in  different  Incarnational  Crosses.    

INTEGRATION  CIRCUIT  –  Super  Keynote:    Self-­‐empowerment      

The   Integration   Circuit   brings   change   through   being   profoundly   unique   and   different.     The  
Integration   Circuit   embodies   the   soul   in   human   form;     this   circuit   is   deeply   intuitive,   and   needs  
time   to   process   and   integrate   what   it   learns   and   experiences.     People   with   channel   in   the  
integration  circuit  need  time  and  space  to  come  to  conclusions.

Like  a  Circuit  Board,  Your  Chart  Shows  Your  Energetic  Wiring  

In   my   view,   one   of   the   most   fascinating   aspects   of   Human   Design   knowledge   is   the   explanation   of  
circuitry.  
As  the  electrical  wiring  in  your  home  has  different  circuits  for  different  rooms,  so  the  “wiring”  in  
your   Human   Design   Body   Graph   has   different   groupings   –   each   with   its   own   significance   and   its  
important  role  in  our  everyday  lives  and  in  the  evolution  of  our  human  species!  
A  circuit  in  Human  Design  is  a  path  through  specific  channels  and  centers  of  the  Body  Graph.  There  
are   three   main   types   of   circuits:     Individual,   Tribal,   and   Collective.     Each   main   circuit   is   made   of  
several  sub-­‐circuits.  
By  itself,  your  chart  does  not  highlight  its  underlying  circuitry.    But  when  you  know  what  to  look  
for,   and   which   of   your   gates   and   channels   belong   to   which   Circuits,   your   knowledge   of   yourself  
and  of  humanity  deepens  significantly.  
Below  is  an  introduction  to  each  Circuit  and  a  very  brief  description  (and  chart  diagram)  of  each  of  
their  sub-­‐circuits.    Be  sure  to  read  the  last  section  that  ties  it  all  together.

INDIVIDUAL  CIRCUIT  GROUP  –  Super  Keynote:    Empowerment  
People   who   have   gates   and   channels   within   the   Individual   Circuitry   (including   the   unusual  
Integration  Circuit)  are  here  to  bring  transformation  and  evolution  to  the  world.    This  is  the  energy  
for  survival,  so  it  was  the  first  circuitry  to  develop  as  humans  were  evolving.  
If   you   carry   Individual   Circuitry   you   are   here   to   be   different.     You   are   not   designed   to   “fit   in”   or   be  
part   of   a   group.     You   are   a   loner,   often   an   outsider,   and   the   gift   of   your   individuality   is   the  
innovative   thinking   you   bring   forth.     To   be   happy,   you   must   fully   express   your   uniqueness.   You  
empower  others  through  your  example  of  completely  being  yourself.  
The   tribe   (family,   community)   will   adopt   your   unusual   thinking   if   those   ideas   and   inventions   are  
perceived   as   useful.     Thus   you   as   an   Individual   will   impact   the   larger   whole,   but   indirectly—not  
through   deliberate   leadership   over   others.     This   is   called   the   “mutative”   quality   of   Individual  
energy  and  is  a  vital  piece  in  the  evolution  of  the  entire  human  experience.  
Knowing  and  Centering  Sub-­‐Circuits  
Individual   Circuitry   has   two   sub-­‐circuits:   the   Knowing   Sub-­‐Circuit   and   the   Centering   Sub-­‐Circuit.    
The  Knowing  Sub-­‐Circuit  contains  energies  that  involve  a  deep  knowingness  that  is  not  based  on  
logic   or   perception.     It   goes   deeper,   to   the   very   truth   of   things.     The   Centering   Sub-­‐Circuit   pulls  
others  into  its  unique  expression  of  individuality  and  initiates  them  into  the  love  of  self  and  love  of  
spirit.

TRIBAL  CIRCUIT  GROUP  –  Super  Keynote:    Support  

People   with   a   predominance   of   gates   and   channels   in   the   Tribal   Circuitry   are   focused   on   family,  
friends,   and   community.   This   Circuit   contains   the   energy   for   love   and   war,   sex   and   procreation,  
laws  and  rules,  business  and  agreements,  and  creating  and  managing  resources.  
If   you   carry   these   energies,   you   put   the   good   of   the   family/tribe   above   your   own   needs   and  
desires.    Emotional  energy  is  found  here,  along  with  caring  and  nurturing,  and  you  will  tend  to  be  
very  tactile  and  demonstrative.    You  like  to  touch  and  hug  and  be  part  of  a  family  and  community.  
You   are   deeply   impacted   by   Individual   energy   and   will   share   with   your   tribe   any   Individual  
innovations  in  thinking  or  technology  that  you  believe  may  help  your  tribe  survive  or  get  ahead.

The   tribe   will   naturally   adopt   those   innovations   that   prove   “adaptive”,   which   means   they   have  
perceived  value.    This  is  the  crucial  second  step  in  the  human  evolutionary  process.  
Ego  and  Defense  Sub-­‐Circuits  
Tribal  Circuitry  has  two  sub-­‐circuits:  the  Ego  Sub-­‐Circuit  and  the  Defense  Sub-­‐Circuit.    The  Ego  Sub-­‐
Circuit   contains   energies   for   agreements   and   marriage,   business   and   community,   and   the  
management   and   sharing   of   resources.   The   Defense   Sub-­‐Circuit   is   the   energy   for   procreation,  
raising  and  educating  children,  waging  war  and  making  peace,  and  generating  and  protecting  the  
resources  needed  by  the  family/tribe.  It  is  powerful  energy  that  defies  logic  and  reason—it’s  very  
primal.

COLLECTIVE  CIRCUIT  GROUP  –  Super  Keynote:    Sharing  

Those   with   gates   and   channels   in   the   Collective   Circuitry   are   focused   on   the   “greater   good”   for   all  
of   humanity.     This   energy   includes   logic   (the   scientific   approach)   and   sensing   (the   holistic  
approach).     Both   are   useful   for   understanding   our   experience   of   life   and   for   predicting   patterns.    
Understanding   patterns   helps   us   to   predict   the   future   (for   example,   seasonal   changes),   which  
helps  to  ensure  our  long-­‐term  survival  as  a  species.  
If   you   carry   Collective   energy   in   your   chart,   you   tend   to   be   visual   and   are   drawn   to   work   that  
benefits  the  whole,  such  as  scientific  research  and  government  service.    You  may  love  to  gather  
stories  and  lessons  from  the  past,  and  use  them  to  move  us  collectively  into  a  better  future.  
Understanding  and  Sensing  Sub-­‐Circuits  
Collective   Circuitry   has   two   sub-­‐circuits:   the   Understanding   Sub-­‐Circuit   and   the   Sensing   Sub-­‐
Circuit.     The   Understanding   Sub-­‐Circuit   contains   energies   for   logical   thinking,   perceiving   and  
correcting   patterns,   and   testing   ideas   to   see   which   help   bring   humanity   closer   to   the   perfect  
expression   of   ourselves   and   the   enjoyment   of   life.     The   Sensing   Sub-­‐Circuit   is   for   abstract   and  
holistic   thinking,   learning   from   the   stories   and   experiences   of   others,   and   achieving   clarity   over  
time.

Understanding  Sub-­‐Circuit     Sensing  Sub-­‐Circuit  

So  What  Does  It  All  Mean?  

First,  at  the  level  of  humanity,  the  circuits  explain  the  exact  process  of  how  we  grow  and  evolve  as  
a  species.    Those  with  Individual  energy  are  here  to  be  different  and  innovative.    Those  with  Tribal  
energy  are  here  to  take  those  innovations  and  see  if  they  are  useful.    Those  with  Collective  energy  
are  here  to  spread  and  give  infrastructure  to  those  changes  and  innovations  that  are  beneficial  to  
humanity  and  incorporate  them  into  our  human  experience.      
At  a  personal  level,  understanding  YOUR  particular  mix  of  Circuitry  energies  help  you  understand  
your  foundational  motivations,  behaviors,  and  tendencies.     Most  people  are  a  blend  of  all  three  
Circuitry  energies,  but  often  one  is  stronger  than  the  others.  It  will  help  you  to  know  if  one  of  the  
major  Circuits  is  more  dominant  in  your  chart  than  the  others.  
At  a  relationship  level,  there  are  some  predictable  issues   that  come  up  when  people  with  different  
predominant  Circuitry  interact  with  each  other.    
 
Below   you   will   find   a   table   of   all   the   Channels,   with   the   very   briefest   description   of   each.     Each  
Channel  has  its  associated  circuit  in  Column  3.
