Tribal Circuit in Human Design

This post is about the Tribal Circuit Group of your Human Design chart, completing our three post series on all the circuit groups in human design. You can read about the Individual Circuit Group here and the Collective Circuit Group here.

And I invite you to generate your free personalized report that contains your Human Design Chart here so you can have it open as you go through the post.

The tribal circuit group, as we see here in this image involves the ego center, the splenic center, the solar plexus center, the root center, and the sacral center connected in a circular shape and the bottom of the body, then connected up into the throat.

So it’s very intuitive, emotional, driven, energetic, willful energy connected up to the throat to be expressed. It’s not about the mind as there’s no connection to the mind here. There’s also no G center connection. So it’s not about identity or direction either. 

It is strictly about support, the theme of the Tribal Circuit Group. 

This circuitry is made up of 2 circuit groups: the ego circuit and the defense circuit.

Let’s first look at the Ego Circuit 

The ego circuit is connecting the root center to the solar plexus center and the splenic center. Then, the solar plexus and spleen are each connected to the ego center, and then from the ego up to the throat.

If we look at Channel 44-26, starting with Gate 44, we have the intuitive ability to know people’s potential and gifts connecting to the ego center, the center of willpower and worth and money in the material world through Gate 26. This connection represents the ability to intuitively shift a message for any audience in order to create a favorable result for all involved. Gate 26 is also about managing people and managing their gifts to get people into the right spot on a team, the managing director archetype. 

This channel takes individual ambition and morphs it into successful teamwork that ensures a contented continuity with the business through balanced relationships that utilize willpower in the proper ways according to each person’s natural energy, gifts and genius. This is about nurturing and supporting each person’s place in the community. 

And this is where Channel 37-40 comes in, this connection from the emotional solar plexus center to the ego Center. This is the channel of community and is about making sure that the community is held together, glued together. So if you have 37-40 in your chart, you’re probably looked to be the natural nurturer, the glue that holds the community together. And you’re looked to for your willpower. It’s important that you don’t overextend yourself, that you learn a firm “No” and that you follow your strategy and authority to make sure you’re not overgiving. Overgiving doesn’t support the tribe because the tribe needs you in your sweet spot, not burnt out.

Now there’s Channel 19-49, which is all about principles and making sure that the principles of the tribe are in alignment and everyone’s in alignment with the principles. On the other side, we have Channel 54-32 which is about creating sustainability continuity for the tribe over time, continued protection that the community will provide for all of its people over time because there’s a sustainable approach to it. Gate 54 is the drive to grow, build,and rise up while Gate 32 is the intuitive ability to know when enough is enough.

Are you starting to see the theme in this Circuit Group? It’s all about balance.

It’s about finding the sweet spot with everyone giving exactly what they’re meant to give to create this powerful support that drives the community forward. It’s this powerful driving energy in this circuit group, with three motor centers in the root, solar plexus, and ego centers along with the intuitive knowing of the spleen. It’s about finding balance between work and rest, support and being supported, where you’re valued for your natural gifts and talent and value others for theirs. 

If you have a lot of gates and channels in this circuit group, you’re probably happiest when you’re working in groups. So if you’re doubting or judging yourself, or trying to work really hard, buckle down and get it all done by yourself, that’s not how you’re designed to work. 

You’re designed to work with others and give from your strategy and authority. 

Now, let’s look at the Defense Circuit 

Now these are just these two channels in this circuit group, seemingly small and unassuming. But this is a really powerful circuit group. And if you have any gates or channels in the circuit, it colors the rest of your chart.

This is a circuit of sexuality and sexual energy. Gate 59 is the desire to connect in an intimate way. Gate 6 is the wisdom to wait out the emotional waves that occur when you meet someone and to allow the courting process to unfold. 

So if you have Gate 59 without Gate 6, you might have a tendency of rushing into things. It’s important for you to allow yourself to let the courting period unfold in a natural way. If you have Gate 6 without Gate 59, you may not be allowing yourself to connect intimately

So again, it’s about balance. 

This isn’t necessarily about sexual intimacy only. But it is about procreation, creating more tribe.

Channel 27-50, on the other side of the sacral center, is all about values and making sure the values of the community are supporting its members. Especially the children that are coming into the world through Channel 59-6, the next generation of the tribe. 

Gate 27 is the Gate of Caring. Gate 50 is the Gate of Values, the intuitive ability to know what values are working and fair for the people in the tribe and what values aren’t. If you have this channel, this energy may have you fight for the values that are working the challenge of ones that aren’t. It’s important, if you have Gate 27, that you’re not just helping every individual in the tribe on a one-on-one basis. Follow your strategy and authority to know which people are correct for you to serve individually. For the most part, you will be serving the tribe at a higher level by being part of creating the values that will support them. 

So this is, again about supporting the continuity of the tribe, nurturing and caring for the next generation. 

That’s how these two channels connect, 59-6 being about procreating the next generation and 27-50 being about ensuring the tribe’s values are going to support the next generation. Together this circuit group is about building a strong community and tribe not only for right now, but for our children and grandchildren. 

That’s all there is to the Tribal Circuitry, a smaller circuit group compared to the Individual and Collective Circuits but really potent because it doesn’t involve the mind like the Individual and Collective Circuits.
