S2E36 - Individual Circuitry: Impact In Life, Love & Work

In this episode, I cover individual circuitry in Human Design, what it means to carry this energy, and how it influences careers, relationships, and your impact on the world. Whether you have a lot of individual circuitry or not, this episode is for you. I’ll explore how transits and others in your life with strong individuality influence you, and share insights on how to relate to those with a lot of individual circuitry while honoring your own design.

Mutation,

Innovation,

Personal transformation.

These are all aspects of individual circuitry.

And in today's episode,

I'm gonna go over how people that have a lot of individual circuitry in their chart impact others,

The emotional themes tied to this energy,

As well as how it applies to business and relationships.

And whether you do or do not have a lot of individual circuitry in your chart,

You are going to be impacted by this energy.

Either it's through your own chart,

It can happen through planetary transits,

And it can also happen through your relationships with your loved ones,

Your colleagues,

Your business partners,

And other people in general.

Welcome to Heart-Centered Human Design,

The show that empowers heart-centered entrepreneurs to use human design and emotional intelligence to create meaningful success,

Work-life balance,

And transform their passion and purpose into impact and prosperity.

I'm your host,

Vanessa Najda,

Human design mentor and business coach,

And I'm so excited to share this incredible system with you so that you can be on purpose and fulfill your potential.

Last week,

I did an episode that gives you an overview of human design circuitry,

What it does,

What it means for you,

All the different kinds of circuitry that we have,

And today we're going specifically into individual circuitry in an overview,

And I'll dive deeper into each aspects of this in following episodes.

People that have a lot of individual circuitry are here to empower,

They're here to bring change,

They are innovative,

They're here to bring mutation,

And they're often very,

Very different from other people,

And they may really feel that.

If you're somebody that has a lot of individual circuitry,

You may sometimes feel like the odd one out,

Like you are misunderstood,

Like people don't get you,

And people are not ready for what you have to offer yet.

You do bring so many incredible,

Incredible gifts,

And we're gonna dive into all of those right now.

So the key theme for individuality in human design circuitry is empowerment,

And this is very much about being self-empowered,

And through being self-empowered,

Empowering others as well through the change and the mutation that you bring.

Individual circuitry is a pathway of personal transformation,

Self-expression,

And innovation.

There is so much uniqueness and differentiation in individual circuitry,

And the impact that it makes on the tribe and the collective can be very,

Very empowering.

They bring mutation,

They bring innovation,

They bring change to the tribe and the collective.

Now,

This mutation is something that just comes through in a pulse.

It comes out of nowhere,

And this could be a thought,

A download,

An idea,

Something completely new that hasn't been seen before that just comes out of nowhere in a pulse.

And with individuality and mutation and change,

There's so much here about really being connected to divine timing,

Because the timing of when this comes through cannot be forced.

It's something that just comes on its own accord,

And it's also something that needs to be shared with others in the right timing.

So timing really plays a big part in individuality and individual circuitry.

So somebody that has a lot of individual circuitry may just get like this divine download or an impulse that comes out of nowhere.

It's something completely new that hasn't been seen before.

And it's something that they will eventually want to share with others.

However,

This often needs to percolate a little bit.

It needs,

Other people need to be ready for it.

Often it needs to be asked for,

Depending on how the circuitry shows up in the chart.

And when people with a lot of individuality express what comes through too soon,

It A,

Can fall on deaf ears,

Or B,

Be completely rejected because people aren't ready for it yet.

So timing is a really important impact of individuality.

Now,

Individual circuitry does touch every part of the chart.

It touches all nine centers.

It does go through the emotional solar plexus.

And there are aspects of emotionality that are very inherent in individual circuitry.

And this is completely,

It's regardless of whether or not somebody's solar plexus is defined.

Individuality comes with a lot of potential melancholy.

And that melancholy can appear when it seems like there's nothing happening.

So remember I said that individuality tends to come through in a pulse in its own divine timing.

But in between those pulses,

It can seem like nothing is happening.

And somebody that has a lot of individuality can start to feel really melancholy during that time.

Like there's no change,

Like nothing is happening.

There's no innovation.

And it can feel somewhat down.

Now,

It's important for anybody with individuality or anybody dealing with melancholy to remember that these periods are actually times of creativity.

This is really when that creativity is kind of moving below the surface and can often indicate that a creative impulse,

A creative breakthrough is actually coming.

Now remember,

It doesn't matter if you have a lot of individual circuitry or not,

You will be experiencing this through transits and through other people.

And especially if you do not have a lot of individual circuitry defined in your chart,

That means it is something that you experience in an inconsistent way and that you're designed to become really wise about.

So you do wanna pay attention to those periods of melancholy.

If you have individual circuitry,

This is something that may happen for you very consistently.

Just know this is creativity coming through you.

This is almost like momentum building for when that creative impulse comes.

If you don't have a lot of individual circuitry,

This is wisdom that you're gaining,

Particularly in periods of planetary transits and as well as things that you might be picking up from the environment and the people around you.

Now,

We all generally have a mix of different kinds of circuitry.

It's not all just gonna be,

I guess it's possible that somebody could only have individual circuitry.

It's unlikely.

Some people can be much more heavily defined in one of the different themes of the charts.

Remember the overall key themes are we have individuality,

We have tribal,

Which is more about your community and your close loved ones.

And then we have the collective,

Which is more about humanity as a whole.

So people can be very heavily weighted in one aspect of that chart and then potentially not understand other people as well that are more heavily weighted in another part of the chart or you can have a mix.

So I personally actually am pretty fairly balanced between all three of the circuits and I do have channels in every one of the subcircuits with the exception of one where I do have a gate.

So I have always been somebody that's been able to relate to all different kinds of people and environments and circumstances with the way my chart is configured,

But that's not gonna be true for everybody.

And this is also something that can really show up in relationships.

If you have one person that is very heavily individual and another person that might be very heavily tribal.

Now,

One of the things with individuality,

Because it is so unique and individual and different is that they can be more interested in themselves,

In their own life,

In their own creativity and what they're bringing forward versus being very interested in the tribe,

The family,

The community or humanity as a whole.

And this would be especially true for somebody who's very heavily weighted on the individual side.

And of course,

This can be judged as selfish by others who may not have as much individuality.

However,

If somebody is designed with a ton of individuality,

This is absolutely healthy and correct for them.

With that self-interest comes that self-empowerment and through the self-empowerment,

Through the individual creative self-expression,

They empower others as well.

So it's important to understand this about people that are heavily weighted on the individual side and that there's nothing wrong with them.

This is not like a character defect or anything like that.

This is just how they're wired and this is how they are meant to bring change into the world.

Highly individual people are very much about personal truth and success for them means being able to really live a life as themselves,

To go their own way,

To follow the beat of their own drum without outside interference.

It's also important that they don't compare themselves to others because they're so different.

And really it's important for all of us to not compare ourselves to others because we're all very different.

But when it comes to individuals,

If you're dealing with somebody that's highly individual and they're always comparing themselves to others,

There is some important deconditioning work to be done around that because they are really here for personal self-expression in their own unique way.

And when they do that and they become self-empowered,

That is when they are on a purpose in fulfilling their potential by empowering others.

Individuality is very acoustic.

They're very sensitive to sound,

To tone,

To frequency.

And this is different from,

Say,

The tribal circuitry,

Which is much more around touch or the collective circuitry,

Which can be very visual.

So people that are highly individual,

They are going to be very sensitive to tone.

They may pick up the very slight shifts in tone when somebody else is speaking.

If you speak to them in a tone that just doesn't resonate with them,

That can definitely bring up some emotions.

People with individuality are very sensitive to frequencies as well.

So the way things sound is going to be very important to them.

Now with individuality also comes what is known as deafness in human design.

And there are certain specific gates in human design,

Gate 43,

38,

And 39 that are called the gates of deafness.

And what this means is that these people are meant to really listen to themselves and not be so influenced by other people.

I like to think this almost a little bit like the manifesto aura,

Which can be outward pushing and is meant to be protective of the manifestor so the manifestor isn't impacted by outside influence.

Because manifestors,

Like people with a lot of individual circuitry,

Are here to bring change and mutation.

And that can mean being free of outside influence is important.

So people with a lot of individuality,

They might not care about your advice or your feedback.

And that's not true for everybody.

And especially if they ask for feedback,

That's a different story.

But if somebody gives unsolicited advice or feedback to somebody with individual circuitry,

They are not gonna like it.

It could potentially bring up anger,

Frustration,

The not self theme in general,

Or they might just not hear it.

That is how deafness works.

Now coming back to the emotional landscape of individuality,

There is natural melancholy built into the circuitry.

It drives creativity.

It drives the depth of experience.

And it's super important as an individual that you allow yourself to feel the melancholy.

We are so conditioned to not wanna feel negative feelings,

To distract ourselves with food,

TV,

Alcohol,

Whatever it is,

Our devices.

And it is actually through that melancholy that the creativity comes through.

So allowing yourself to feel it,

To be with it without making up stories.

And that part's important because people will make up stories of what is wrong with me,

Or why does this keep happening?

This is just part of your electromagnetic frequency.

And it is a sign that creativity is building and something new is going to be coming through.

Now remember the timing,

Again,

This happens in divine timing.

So being able to surrender into trust and knowing that the right thing will come through at the right time is super important.

And this is one of the things as you go through your human design deconditioning journey,

You really will learn to trust that melancholy,

Those periods of stillness,

Those periods where nothing is happening,

Knowing that something is going to come through.

This can also be a really great time to engage in your creativity.

Individuals and people with a lot of individuality in their chart tend to really like music.

So remember I said they're acoustic.

So music,

Whether that be listening to music,

Playing instruments,

Singing,

Any of those things can be really impactful and actually can help really drive the creativity,

Especially when you are in those melancholy periods.

So remember those emotional melancholy lows can be incubators for profound creative breakthroughs.

So let's talk a little bit about the impact on relationships when it comes to individual circuitry.

I already touched upon the theme of self-interest.

So if you're somebody that doesn't have a lot,

Maybe you're more tribal or you're more collective and you're in relationship with somebody that's very individual,

Understanding that this is not a personal thing,

That this is part of their frequency and how they are here to express themselves is really important.

And remember when you're in relationship with somebody else,

When you come together,

You create a transauric form.

Your auras come together,

You create a new form and they will be impacted by your tribalness.

You will also be impacted by their individualness and that is okay,

That is to be embraced.

And that is actually part of the conditioning process.

And conditioning is not always a bad thing.

So in BG5,

The business application of human design,

We actually talk about how you wanna take advantage of conditioning.

And I'll go more into that in future episodes.

Now,

Some of the personal challenges that somebody with a lot of individuality can deal with in their chart is being perceived as being very different or unrelatable to others because they're so unique and they are so different.

They may feel like an outsider,

Like the odd one out.

They may feel like nobody hears them or they may feel rejected for the innovation and the newness that they bring.

And that can often happen when they are sharing their insights and their innovation before the timing is right.

So really connecting to right timing is important,

Following your strategy and authority on when the time is right to share.

Going through that deconditioning process is essential.

Individuals also really wanna be listened to.

So if you are in a relationship with somebody that's highly individual,

You do really wanna take that time to listen to them,

To have conversations,

To hear what they have to share with you.

And also,

Somebody with a lot of individuality may tend towards the love language of words of affirmation.

So remember they're acoustic.

They hear things.

They like to hear being told,

I love you.

And of course,

There can be conditioning around this as well,

But words of affirmation,

Anything that comes through sound frequency can be so beneficial to really enhancing a relationship with somebody that's highly individual.

Now,

When it comes to the workplace,

If you're dealing with somebody that's highly individual,

They might be quite visionary and you wanna find ways to support their innovation,

To support their visions,

To support their creativity.

And it's important that you do this in a way that's not very controlling because individuals do not like to be controlled.

Individuals need the freedom to do their own thing.

So micromanaging somebody that has a lot of individuality,

It's not gonna land very well.

Finding ways to collaborate with them if that's appropriate.

And of course,

There's gonna be a lot of individual things in the chart that make this unique to everybody,

But supporting their creativity,

Supporting their visions,

Really listening to them,

Also potentially providing them with a work environment that is well suited to their acoustic sense.

So for example,

If you are in a very loud work environment,

Sound canceling headphones,

Giving them the option to listen to their own music on their headphones,

These types of things will be really helpful when dealing with somebody that has a lot of individuality in their chart in the workplace.

The individual circuit does have several sub-circuits.

I'll be going into more detail into each one of these in upcoming episodes,

But just a brief little overview.

So I'm gonna start with integration circuit.

Now,

Integration is technically its own completely separate circuit,

But I am including it under individuality because it is very much about self-empowerment and it is about personal survival.

And in order for anything to make it out into the collective personal survival is key because you have to be able to preserve your own personal sense of self,

Your own life,

In order to actually bring anything out into the world.

Now,

The knowing circuit,

Which is a major sub-circuit here,

It's a pretty big circuit,

That knowing circuit is very much about individual knowing,

These impulses,

These thoughts,

This knowing that just comes through out of nowhere that is designed to bring mutation.

It is extremely intuitive.

It can be very ahead of its time.

And the emotional impact here is that there can be some tension around needing to share those insights that come through without waiting for the right timing.

When that happens,

There is a potential to be misunderstood.

So really finding that balance of sharing your insights when the timing is right is going to make most of it.

When it comes to business,

And especially entrepreneurship,

If you have a lot of individuality and knowing,

Really finding platforms where your ideas can shine,

Where your mutation can come through,

And trusting that it will reach the right people at the right time,

That you don't need to worry like the people that it doesn't land with,

They're not the right people or the time is not right for them,

And they may come back at some point later in time when the timing does become right,

And then they might become your people.

And then the last circuit,

This is a minor circuit,

It is the centering circuit.

It's made up of two channels,

And this is very much about aligning with your own personal strength,

Your divine purpose.

This energy is really highly individual and it empowers others to become more individual as well.

This can be very inspiring to others,

And this energy will attract and empower others through authenticity,

Through really authentically expressing yourself.

In business application,

Having a lot of centering energy can be really wonderful for people that are motivating other people,

Whether that be inspirational speakers,

Coaches,

People that are working in the fitness industry,

For example,

This can be incredibly empowering,

And it also really has a way of providing direction to other people.

So if you do have strong individual circuitry in your chart,

Remember you are muted if you're here to bring change.

It is okay that you are interested in yourself.

It's through self-empowerment that you empower others.

Embrace your periods of melancholy.

These are times of intense creativity bubbling up underneath the surface.

Allow yourself to feel it.

Trust in the right time that the right thing will come through,

The right innovation,

The right change,

That right creative spark will come through at the right time.

And then trust yourself to share those innovations as well in the right time.

So really aligning with timing is super,

Super important for people with strong individual circuitry.

If you do not have strong individual circuitry in your chart,

You want to really learn to cultivate empathy for those that do.

You want to learn to understand your individual loved ones.

They are going to need space for self-expression.

There might be periods where they don't really want your input,

But they do also want to be heard and listened to.

And you do also want to recognize that when they share their ideas with you,

They might seem unrelatable at the time,

But there are those seeds for long-term innovation.

You want to look for those.

You want to embrace those.

You want to support them in their innovative process.

And when it comes to business,

You want to really support their vision without trying to control them and trusting that their creativity will culminate.

It will come through at the right time in the right way.

And they are here to bring change.

I encourage you to reflect on what you've learned in this episode around individuality in general and how you either embrace or resist this in your own life.

Remember,

We all have some individuality.

And even if you have very little of it,

You are going to be picking it up through planetary transits and through your relationships with other people.

So cultivating that individuality and really authentically expressing your uniqueness is really a huge purpose of human design.

Remember to follow your strategy and authority.

And I'll be going into more detail into the sub-circuits of individuality in upcoming episodes.

I'd love to hear about your own experience with individual circuitry,

Whether that be in your own chart or in the charts of others.

Please comment wherever you are listening or watching and let me know.

Thank you so much for listening and I'll see you in the next episode.
