Soul Connections: Understanding Electromagnetic Energy
In Human Design, the connections we form with others aren’t just emotional or intellectual—they are energetic. When two charts come together, they create a unique dynamic, influencing how we relate, communicate, and inspire one another.
There are three primary types of energetic connections in Human Design:
1️⃣ Electromagnetic Connections – A spark between two people when they each carry half of a channel, completing it together.
2️⃣ Dominance Connections – One person has the full channel, while the other has neither gate, allowing them to experience the energy consistently through the other person.
3️⃣ Compromise Connections – One person has the full channel, while the other has just one gate, often creating a dynamic where the person with only one gate feels like they must adjust to the energy of the person with the full channel.
✨ Today, we’re diving into Electromagnetic Connections.
The Magnetic Spark Between Two People
An electromagnetic connection happens when two people complete a channel together—each holding one gate of the channel. When they interact, the energy of the full channel comes alive, creating something new that neither of them experiences independently.
This is often felt as an instant connection, a pull toward someone that can feel exciting, dynamic, and even intense at times. These connections are chemistry in action—they can bring attraction, creative synergy, or even tension depending on how the energy flows.
How to Use Electromagnetic Energy to Your Advantage
When you’re aware of your electromagnetic connections, you can consciously activate and harness their energy.
For example, I have Gate 1 in my chart, which is all about creativity and self-expression. When I’m around someone who has Gate 8, together we activate the full Channel of Inspiration (1-8). This channel allows us to bring creative expression into the world in a way that is meant to be seen and shared.
Alone, I may feel bursts of creative energy, but when I’m with someone who has Gate 8, I suddenly feel a stronger flow of creative direction and the ability to influence and inspire others with it.
Recognizing Electromagnetic Chemistry in Your Life
✨ Have you ever met someone and immediately felt drawn to them, like there was an undeniable energy between you?
✨ Do you notice certain people in your life activate a side of you that isn’t as present when you’re alone?
✨ Have you experienced relationships where sometimes you crave their energy and other times it feels overwhelming?
That’s electromagnetic energy at work. It pulls us in, activates something powerful, and teaches us how we impact others.
Reflection Questions

Oh wow! That is absolutely fascinating. I know there are certain people I interact with maybe not on a daily basis, but when I do I'm very drawn to them and want to be in their presence.
I have also noticed that there are some people who I can only be in their presence for short periods of time because it becomes overwhelming. As I go throughout my day, I'm mentally going to note these connections! Thank you for sharing this.
