If the Channels are the pathways carrying energy through your chart, Circuitry helps us understand where that energy is trying to go and what it ultimately serves.

Every Channel belongs to a Circuit, and each Circuit carries a different underlying purpose. Some energy is here to empower the individual, some to support family and community, and some to collect experiences and knowledge that can be shared with everyone.

Individual Circuitry — Empowerment & Mutation

Individual energy is here to be different. It brings mutation, originality and new ways of doing, thinking or expressing things. It isn't necessarily here to fit in or convince others. By living authentically, the individual can empower others to embrace their own uniqueness.

Knowing Circuit

1-8 — Inspiration
2-14 — The Beat
3-60 — Mutation
12-22 — Openness
23-43 — Structuring
24-61 — Awareness
28-38 — Struggle
39-55 — Emoting

Centreing Circuit

10-34 — Exploration
25-51 — Initiation

Integration Circuitry — Survival & Self-Empowerment

Integration is deeply connected to individual survival, instinct and empowerment in the present moment. These Channels combine identity, intuition, power and expression in ways that help the individual respond to life immediately and authentically.

10-20 — Awakening
10-57 — Perfected Form
20-34 — Charisma
20-57 — The Brainwave
34-57 — Power

Tribal Circuitry — Support, Resources & Community

Tribal energy asks: What do we need to survive and thrive together? It concerns family, agreements, resources, loyalty, bargains, protection, sexuality, work, and material security.

Ego Circuit

19-49 — Synthesis
21-45 — Money
26-44 — Surrender
32-54 — Transformation
37-40 — Community

Defence Circuit

6-59 — Mating
27-50 — Preservation

Collective Circuitry — Sharing Experience & Understanding

Collective circuitry concerns humanity as a whole. Its energy gathers patterns, experiences and knowledge that can eventually be shared with others. Where Individual circuitry empowers and Tribal circuitry supports, Collective circuitry shares.

Understanding / Logic Circuit

5-15 — Rhythm
7-31 — The Alpha
9-52 — Concentration
16-48 — Talent
17-62 — Acceptance
18-58 — Judgement
63-4 — Logic

Sensing / Abstract Circuit

11-56 — Curiosity
13-33 — The Prodigal
29-46 — Discovery
30-41 — Recognition
35-36 — Transitoriness
42-53 — Maturation
47-64 — Abstraction

Looking at Your Own Chart

Most of us carry a mixture of circuitry, and this adds another beautiful layer to understanding your design. You may have strong Individual energy asking you to honour what makes you different, Tribal energy pulling you towards family and community, and Collective energy wanting to turn what you learn and experience into something useful for others.

Look at your defined Channels and notice where they sit.

Individual: How am I here to empower through being uniquely myself?
Integration: How does my body instinctively protect and empower me?
Tribal: How am I designed to support, provide and create connection?
Collective: What am I here to experience, understand and eventually share?

Your circuitry helps reveal not only how your energy moves, but who that energy is ultimately designed to serve.
