Section B Introduction

Circuits and Circuitry

The first basic binary in Human Design is the duality that exists between the juxtaposition of your personality and your design within the context of the whole.

The second step in this process is to see the individual roads and tunnels which are actually specific mapping sections or circuits. It is similar to being in a big city where there are different highway systems within the circuitry of that city. When you begin to recognize and identify what a circuit is then everything that is a part of that circuit becomes accessible to you.

There are three main Circuit Groups: Tribal, Individual and Collective. Each of these have two Circuits within them. Each circuit group has a super keynote. The super keynote is of enormous value because it opens the door to understanding every channel and every gate in that circuit group and sets a foundation for your understanding.

In the following illustrations you will see three circuit groups as well as the integration channels which stand on their own.
