How to know if you have Channel 20-34 activated in your bodygraph chart
- Go to myhumandesign.com and go to “Get Your Chart”.
- Input your birth details including birth day, birth time, birth location.
- NOTE – Information in the bodygraph chart is VERY sensitive to birth time so it is important to have an accurate birth time if possible.
- Look at the Throat and Sacral Energy Centers in the bodygraph chart. If Gate 20 in the Throat Energy center is connected to Gate 34 with a colored line (not white) this means this channel is activated and the energetics of it are consistently available to you. (see graphic below)

What are the Channels in Human Design?
- The Channels in a Human Design body graph chart represent the gifts, talents, motivations, energetics or drives that are consistently available to us. If you DO NOT have a channel fully activated or colored it doesn’t mean you never have access to that energy. It just means it’s not a reliable or constant energy in your life.
- Lastly, it is worth noting that there are MANY layers to all aspects of the chart including the gates. This article is intended to be a high level summary.
How the Channels Can Show Up Energetically in our Life
- We can use the energy of a channel in a positive or negative way towards ourselves and/ or other people.
- We may embody the energy with lack and/or fear OR we can embody the energy with truth and abundance.
- Because of external conditioning we have encountered, we may shy away from the energy and choose NOT to see it as a part of ourselves. We may not want to embrace it and shut it down instead.
What does a Black Line vs. a Red Line vs. a Striped Line Indicate?
- Black Lines represent gifts that we are likely more conscious and aware of.
- Red Lines represent gifts that we are likely less conscious and aware of.
- Striped (both black and red) lines represent gifts that are both conscious and unconscious.

Themes Associated with the Channel of Charisma
- True meaning of manifestation – speaking things into existence.
- “Busyness”
- Gate 34 looks to Gate 20 for “in the moment” information that turns understanding into the right actions that will impact people around you. Gate 20 looks to Gate 34 as a source of energy that empowers the self toward individuation and celebrates uniqueness of self. You are empowered to act on your own behalf and turn your thoughts into reality through your voice.
High Expression of the Channel of Charisma
- There is an energy in your chart that calls you to speak (literally through your voice) about the things you want in life. (It is the true meaning of manifestation). Lean into speaking your truth in the moment- without thinking about what it means or processing it.
- You should not question your truth. Just speak it even if it was something different before. The divine is guiding these shifts.
- When you surrender and follow your strategy (to respond), you will enter into the commitments or activities that are energetically correct for you.
Challenge Side of the Channel of Charisma
- You may have trouble sitting still and being quiet because you have high stamina. This is why it is essential that you apply your energy to something you deeply love doing. You may think you need to be busy just for the sake of it
- It is energetically correct for you to remain busily self-absorbed in an activity that is correct and satisfying for you, while remaining generally unavailable to others. You are empowered to act on your own behalf, to turn thoughts into deeds, and to express your ability to manifest and thrive.
- It is important to use your strategy when committing to projects or things otherwise you may become frustrated, angry and exhausted.
