Celebrity Chart: Edgar Cayce
Here is a brief look at a celebrity’s Human Design chart, focused mainly on Incarnation Cross and Defined Channels. These are just a few of many aspects and layers of a chart. Our purpose here is to give you just a partial glimpse, through Human Design, into this person’s energy dynamics.
Edgar Cayce “The Sleeping Prophet”
Birth info: March 18, 1877, Hopkinsville, KY
Death info: January 3, 1945
[Because Edgar is such a fascinating character, I’m giving more background details than usual.]
BACKGROUND
Edgar Cayce is probably the most well known psychic and medical clairvoyant of modern times. For 40 years of his life, he provided answers to specific questions (particularly for health, diagnosis and treatment issues) as well information on a wide range of topics while in a sleep-like trance state.
He grew up in a large family on a farm, displayed some unusual psychic abilities as a child, and left school after 8th grade for odd jobs to help the family’s finances.
At age 23, he went into partnership with his father to sell insurance but came down with such severe and persistent laryngitis that he didn’t work for nearly a year, during which he took up photography as an occupation that wouldn’t require much talking.
A traveling stage hypnotist/entertainer heard about Edgar’s condition and offered to help. While Edgar was hypnotized on stage, Continue reading

“Jack of All Trades”
A Projector client was holding herself back from pursuing a new career in an area of energy work that interests her, because she was concerned that it might be “just another lark.”
During her Reading I explained that with her Gate 35 (lower right corner of Throat Center), which is the energy of the “Jack of All Trades,” and her Open Identity Center, she is DESIGNED to have lots of skills, lots of experiences, and lots of directions in her life.
She now understands that as long as she:
- follows her Projector Strategy (waits to be invited or asked)
- doesn’t expect this to be the “last” career she’ll ever have, AND
- only pursues it if it truly feels good to her
then there’s no reason for her to hold back!
Knowing this not only helped her relax her fears about following her interest, it also helped her feel MUCH better about having held 40 different jobs in her 49-year work history! There was/is nothing “wrong” with her—she’s just designed to have many different experiences, all of which become resources as she moves forward to her next new experience!
“Human Design TYPES in Relationships” Series: Generators
Generators: Work & Family are the Focus
Pure Generators, approximately 37% of the world’s population, are the majority of our world’s work force. While they share many characteristics with Manifesting Generators and some refer to the two as one Type, here we will look specifically at only the Pure Generators (your Human Design chart will show “Generator” as your Type), which I’ll refer to a Generators from now on.
Generators have two primary focuses in life: work and family/mating. So they are usually immersed in relationships all their lives. It is possible for a Generator to have primarily Individual energy, in which case they might not feel they fit in with their family and friends and they may prefer to be alone much of the time. But their work force and life force energy is strong and consistent.
They are born to “respond” to everything around them, which they do quite naturally. But often those responses are unconscious.
Human Design shows Generators that they have an amazing internal guidance system—their Sacral Energy Center—that responds to everything around them. It’s the red square on your Chart, and only Generators and Manifesting Generators have it. All other Types have a white (“Open”) Sacral Center.

Celebrity Combined Chart: Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt
Here is a brief look at a celebrity couple’s Human Design charts and composite chart, focused mainly on their Types, Centers and Profiles. These are just a few of many aspects and layers of a chart. Our purpose here is to give you a quick glimpse, through Human Design, into this couple’s relationship dynamics. (Co-written with Karen Flaherty)
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt TOGETHER
Angelina Jolie
Birth info: Wednesday, June 4, 1975 at 9:09am in Los Angeles, CA
Human Design is an exceptionally powerful and practical tool for understanding—and improving—our relationships.
As promised, in this article we look at Angelina Jolie’s and Brad Pitt’s Human Design charts together to see what we can learn about the nature of their relationship.
We previously wrote an article about each member of this famous couple. You can read about Angelina and see her chart here.
You can read about Brad and see his chart here.
The most striking aspects when looking at their two individual charts are their dramatic differences, so let’s start there.
TYPES
Angelina is the busiest version (with her 34/20 Channel) of the Manifesting Generator—which is already the busiest and most energetic of all five Human Design Types. By contrast, Brad is a Projector, which means
Quick Tip – Generators & Manifesting Generators
If you have a Defined Sacral Center, which is a RED square just above the bottom square on your Chart, you are a Generator or Manifesting Generator.
It’s correct for you to go to bed tired at night, and you typically wake up refreshed and ready for a new day the next morning. It’s like you start each day with a full tank of gas and you need to burn up that fuel so you’re on ‘empty’ by day’s end.
If you’re a Generator or Manifesting Generator and you’re not sleeping well, you may not be getting enough physical activity. You have ‘fuel’ left to burn and it keeps you up at night. Try getting more exercise or any type of physical activity during the day and see if that helps.
By the way, this is also true for Generator and Manifesting Generator CHILDREN. Many kids diagnosed with ADD and ADHD these days are simply Generators or Manifesting Generators who are not getting enough exercise!
“Human Design TYPES in Relationships” Series: Projectors
Do You Feel Managed By Someone In Your Life?
You have an instinctive resistance when it feels like someone is trying to manage or control you 
without your request or permission. Even if what they are saying is brilliant and exactly what you need to hear, you won’t listen if it feels pushed at you.
Chances are…. that person is a Projector. They mean well, they’re just not using their energy correctly.
Understanding the dynamics of this situation can help you:
- Hear—and benefit from—what’s being offered (if you’re the recipient)
- Learn the correct approach and timing (if you’re the Projector)
Master the Emotional Dynamics in Your Relationships – Part 2
In our last article, we looked at the rich and “delicious” emotional experience we are capable of as human beings. And while our deep emotions often enhance the bonds we feel with others, emotions also can negatively affect our relationships by potentially adding stress and emotional wounds to the already complex realm of how we interact with each other.
The place to begin when exploring the emotional dynamics of our relationships is to first understand ourselves. Our last article encouraged you to examine your personal Human Design chart and determine if you have a “Defined Emotional Center” or an “Open Emotional Center.” (Click here to read that article if you haven’t yet, as you’ll need its information for the rest of this article.)
The Emotional Center (called the Solar Plexus in Human Design) governs the ups and downs of the wave-like patterns in our emotional energy. Those who have a Defined Emotional Center (it’s colored in) experience and broadcast emotional waves. Those who have an Open Emotional Center (it’s white) take in and amplify the emotional waves of those broadcasting the waves.
That information alone can explain so much about your experiences in life and the dynamics of your past and present relationships!
How Our Energies Affect Our Relationships
In any type of relationship, two people’s energies always influence each other. The details of this can be seen by looking at their Human Design charts and creating a “composite” chart that blends their two charts together (which can be done manually or with special software).
The Open energies (white geometrical “Centers”) in our charts create predictable issues and behavior patterns that can be addressed and managed through awareness—both individually and in our relationships.
The bottom line is….any relationship can work—with the correct understanding of the energetic dynamics….and a little patience!
Now, let’s look at the specific role of powerful Emotional Energy in our personal relationships. Continue reading
Celebrity Chart: Brad Pitt
Here is a brief look at a celebrity’s Human Design chart, focused mainly on that person’s defined channels. Channels are just one of many aspects and layers of a chart. Our purpose here is to give you a quick glimpse, through Human Design, into this person’s energy dynamics. (Article co-written with Karen Flaherty)
Brad Pitt
Birth info: Wednesday, December 18, 1963 in Shawnee, OK
Background
Born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, with humble beginnings, Brad Pitt has been the heartthrob of women worldwide for almost 30 years. He grew up in Missouri and attended the University of Missouri where he majored in journalism and acted in several fraternity shows. Just weeks before graduation he left for Los Angeles, ready to take on any job while breaking into the acting field. His first major film role was in Thelma and Louise in 1991, playing the young hitchhiker they meet in their travels which helped to solidify his role as a new sex symbol. Before that he was in soap operas and sitcoms on television, including Dallas, and since then has appeared in over thirty movies, garnering multiple Oscar and Golden Globe nominations and one Golden Globe award thus far. This year, he was nominated for his roles as both actor and producer in Moneyball.
His Chart
The only theme or channel in Brad’s chart is the Channel of Struggle, which is the 28-38. This is an Individual Channel which means Brad is here to be different and not to ‘fit in.” He marches to his own beat and with his romantic partner, Angelina Jolie, he has found Continue reading

As an actress, humanitarian, mother of six and romantic partner of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie lives the life of the Manifesting Generator who can make a mere mortal’s head spin. She effortlessly seems to combine her unending activities, her talent, her beauty, and her articulate and compassionate wit and will to achieve her goals.
As a 3/5 profile – the Martyr/Heretic — she has experienced quite a lot during her 36 years on the planet but also thumbed her nose at many of her naysayers. She has lived on both coasts and traveled the world; acted in dozens of films—winning awards after years of “practice”; and had turbulent relationships with her father and first two husbands. She has “tried on” many different looks, personas, tattoos and relationships. As the Heretic with an intention or philosophy to universalize, she is taking a stand as a young humanitarian on behalf of a number of causes around the world. She and Brad describe their breakfast table as a “mini United Nations”, and they like it that way. A recent 60 Minutes interview portrayed Angelina as a woman on a mission as she was completing her directorial/writing debut film, “In the Land of Blood and Honey”. True to her chart, she was described as compassionate (Gate 50), in control (Gate 21), a gifted storyteller (Gate 56), charismatic (Gate 20), focused (Gate 9) and content (Gate 58) with all that has led her to this juncture.

Master the Emotional Dynamics in Your Relationships – Part 1
Emotions can be such a “delicious” part of being human. We have passion and pathos, romance and longings. We experience optimism and hope, unconditional love and pure bliss. We create soaring pieces of music, stunning works of art, and deeply moving poetry and prose.
We also can feel despair, revenge, depression, anger, sadness, pessimism, and cynicism, among others.
Quite a range! This rich emotional experience distinguishes us from the animals with whom we share this planet…. at least as far as we currently know. Many animals do share basic feelings with us—happiness, sadness, pain, fear, tenderness, caring and love.
But the complex tapestry of deep emotions seems to be our realm.
How These Emotions Affect Our Relationships
While our depth of passion enhances our life experience and deepens our bonds with the people in our lives, our emotional range can also be a source of much strife, stress, and emotional wounds in our relationships.
Although emotions are just one piece in the bigger picture of our relationships, they are undoubtedly the most dramatic, and perhaps the most impactful.
Human Design reveals a very useful understanding of our own emotional experiences and of the emotional dynamics in relationships. Continue reading
