Human Design describes the mechanics of our existence. I find it far more interesting than astrology because it describes patterns of behavior from various perspectives. Although the time and place of birth are used, and planetary influences are also considered, Human Design is more than all of that. In my view, it creates an intricate blueprint of our lives, and I’m so fascinated by all it has to share.

While I’ve written about Gates and Channels within the Human Design bodygram, I haven’t really touched on Circuits, categories that organize the channels into three groups: Individual, Tribal, and Collective. Each Circuit breaks down from there into more specific sub-circuits which contain the various Channels.

  • Individual ~ Integration, Centering, and Knowing circuits
  • Tribal ~ Defense and Ego circuits
  • Collective ~ Logic and Sensing circuits.

But as you can see, awareness and interaction begins with the self and branches out to one’s immediate family and then the community and world at large.

Although there are five personality types within Human Design, two comprise most of us and essentially we’re either here to initiate or respond to the world around us. Manifestors should initiate, for example, and Generators should respond. Get that backwards and we live what’s known as our not-self which most of us do on a daily basis, accounting for the struggles we experience, also on a daily basis. And then just when we think we’ve got a handle on our natal information, transiting planetary influences bring new channels into play.

Five channels are active today in my Human Design bodygram, nine if you include the natal channels present.

  • Two Channels of Compromise including Perfected Form (10-57) and Synthesis (49-19)
  • One Educational Channel of Community (37-40), and
  • Two Personal Connection Channels of Surrender (26-44) and Exploration (10-34)

These five channels break down into the following Circuits:

  • Integration ~ Perfected Form (10 Love of Self/57 Intuition)
  • Centering ~ Exploration (34 Power/10 Love of Self)
  • Ego ~ Surrender (26 The Trickster/44 Energy), Synthesis (19 Wanting/49 Principles), and Community (40 Loneliness/37 Friendship)

 

Integration Circuit

Regarding Integration, a circuit within the Individual grouping , Karen Curry has this to say:

The theme of Integration is the phrase “I Am.” The job of the Integration Circuit is to develop awareness of the self as differentiated from others and conscious in our form. (Curry 235)

In my natal bodygram, I have the Channel of Power (34-57) active. With Gate 10 love of self active, it activates two more channels in that section of the bodygram, one from Integration and the other from Centering. Power is a design of the human archetype, and began our perception of separation from others. It’s intuitive, particularly clairaudient-based energy. With this energy, we have the empath who notices the change in tone in another with the intuitive ability to understand what that means.

For those of us with Integration Circuit channels, we need time to reflect and integrate what we’ve just experienced before responding. There are four possible channels within this Circuit, with two active today. Perfected Form is a design of Intuition-based survival and continues the energy flow of Power from my natal bodygram. Our focus tends toward perfection, but we need to respond in order that we manifest it properly. If we initiate, we’re typically not received well. With this channel, we’re conscious of our spiritual journey, aware when we’re not aligned with our true purpose.

Together, Power and Perfected Form give strength to our intuitive awareness and no doubt provide the basis for all other perception.

 

Centering Circuit

Another circuit within the Individual grouping, with the Centering Circuit, change and self-improvement are its focus.

The Centering Circuit acts as a vortex. People who are drawn into the energy vortex of the Centering Circuit are influenced to act more individually, regardless of their own definition. (Curry 223-224)

Exploration from the Centering Circuit combines Power and Love of Self to create a design of following our convictions. With this channel, response is necessary to avoid not-self behavior. Otherwise we work at cross purposes with our goals.

 

Ego Circuit

Three Channels are active within this circuit today: Surrender, Synthesis, and Community. Each one a Tribal subcircuit, these bring nurturing, love, and the survival of the tribe to today’s transits.

With Surrender, we have the Energy to present our ideas to others with integrity although with the influence of The Trickster, we might use whatever’s necessary to get attention, so our integrity is crucial here so that we don’t become like our upcoming Trickster-in Chief. To what or whom do we surrender? Greed or our integrity? We all know what he chose.

Also known as Love and Marriage, Synthesis assists us in our decision to bond with others. It’s the energy for partnership and/or marriage and provides foundation and structure to the tribe. We balance our Wanting reflected in Gate 19 with our Principles reflected in Gate 49 to build relationships in a deep and sustainable way.

Contracts and agreements are contained within Community, also known as The Bargain. This is the energy to keep the tribe functioning, how they work together and create the resources they need to survive. We all like to bargain to get what we want, but this influence tells us to follow through with our obligations, more of that integrity found in Surrender at play.

Putting it all Together

Our awareness or intuition is at the heart of the empathic experience as is our integrity. What these channels show is that although we come in as individuals with whatever awareness that we still have, we have to find a way to interact with others that’s both satisfying and sustainable.

Integrity of both our words and actions is vital for the proper functioning of our tribe, whether it’s our immediate family or the greater world at large. Looking at what’s happening now in just our country, let alone with some of the other countries around the world, we see that our tribe is in jeopardy. Integrity and honor have flown the coop and a Trickster-in-Chief may just steer us all off the cliff.

Many were seeking change without concern for the outcome. Others believed the con artist who will now run the country and have an unbelievable effect upon the world. The rest of us stood back in horror at the outcome. And for everything we all try to do to salvage what little we may have left, some of this will most likely need to run its course.

I’ve never been a fan of blowing the shit out of things in an effort to bring change, but we’re evidently there now. We may find the most sensible action is to take shelter from the upcoming endless hurricane created by our Trickster-in-Chief. And by the time it’s all said and done, he’ll have gotten rich from the fleecing of the American people.

When the tribe needed everyone to come together in unity and protection for our great democracy, that didn’t happen and now a wolf will destroy every part of it he can. All to further on his delusions.

At the expense of everyone.

We made an agreement a long time ago to come together as the United States of America. Our constitution, our family bond, brought us together and will ultimately sustain us while this travesty continues. Maybe there will even be a country left when this is over. But until we know what he’s going to do to all of us, we wait. I wonder who’s got a sale on underground bunkers…

Blessings to all

  1. I wouldn’t call tRump our trickster-in-chief because aren’t the mythical tricksters actually beneficial in their trickster guise?
    There’s nothing beneficial about tRump.
    That’s my two cents.
