On Fridays, I like to unwind with People Magazine. It’s a light ritual, a mix of stories about one of my favorite subjects: human nature. Recently, a familiar name caught my eye — Carrie Underwood — and, as it turns out, she’s a Manifesting Generator in the Human Design system.

Carrie Underwood, Human Design, and the Manifesting Generator Type

If you’ve ever flipped to the back page of People Magazine, you’ve probably seen the “One Last Thing” feature, a quick-fire interview where the same five questions are asked of a celebrity each week.

In an October issue, that celebrity was Carrie Underwood, singer, songwriter, and winner of American Idol’s fourth season.

Curious, I looked up her birth date on Wikipedia and ran her Human Design chart.

What I discovered fascinated me: Carrie is a Manifesting Generator, one of the most dynamic energy types in Human Design.

That one chart sparked a whole new exploration and this post (and podcast!) grew from there.

Feeling Overwhelmed by Personality Systems? You’re Not Alone

There are so many personality tests and self-awareness tools out there — Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, astrology, numerology — and now, Human Design.

Life is busy, and many of these systems can feel complicated or even overwhelming. So, how do we get the most out of them without drowning in data?

I often remind my clients: –

“Understanding your energy is like solving a multidimensional Rubik’s cube — one small move at a time unlocks the next level.”

That’s exactly how Human Design works.

What is Human Design?

Human Design is a unique system that weaves together four ancient traditions with one modern scientific discovery – creating a map of how your energy is designed to operate.

It blends:

• The Hindu Chakra System
• The Jewish Kabbalah (Tree of Life)
• Western Astrology
• The I-Ching, an ancient Chinese system of 64 archetypes representing facets of the human experience.

The fifth and most modern layer is genetics. The 64 I-Ching hexagrams correspond to the 64 codons in human DNA (discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953).

Together, these elements form a multidimensional framework for understanding who we are, how our energy moves, and how we interact with the world.

The Challenge with Human Design Charts

If you’ve ever seen your chart, you may have felt both intrigued and a little lost.

People often tell me,

“I had my chart done once… and then I had no idea what to do with it!”

It’s understandable. The chart looks like a beautiful matrix of shapes, numbers, and colors, fascinating, but also overwhelming at first.

That’s why I encourage people to start simple: focus on your Type and your chakra pattern first.

Human Design isn’t meant to be memorized; it’s meant to be felt. Once you start noticing how your energy naturally flows, the chart begins to “speak” and each part clicks into place.

The Five Human Design Types

There are five main energy Types in Human Design:

1. Manifestor
2. Generator
3. Manifesting Generator
4. Projector
5. Reflector

My own aura type is Manifestor, and I’ve written more about that in this blog post.

But today, let’s focus on the Manifesting Generator — the type that both Carrie Underwood and Simon Cowell share.

Understanding the Manifesting Generator

Manifesting Generators are energetic dynamos, creative, fast-moving, and full of drive.

They juggle multiple passions, explore widely, and learn by doing. Once something excites them, they go all in, full throttle, no hesitation.

They often have an entrepreneurial streak or an unconventional approach to life. They innovate naturally, bringing fresh energy or a new twist to familiar ideas.

The Power of the Throat Chakra

Every Manifesting Generator has a defined Throat Chakra, a constant energetic connection to expression.

This gives them a magnetic voice, a natural ability to translate inspiration into sound, speech, and creative manifestation.

Imagine a lamp that’s always plugged in and ready to shine – that’s what a defined Throat Chakra feels like. The current is always on, waiting for a cue to illuminate.

Carrie Underwood’s Heart-Driven Voice

In Human Design terms, Carrie Underwood’s Throat Chakra is powered by both her Heart Chakra and Sacral Chakra — a combination known as The Money Line.

This channel fuses love, passion, and creativity into one steady current, linking heartfelt communication with material and emotional success.

Think about the raw emotion in her song “Jesus, Take the Wheel.” That’s Heart-Throat energy in motion — vulnerability turned into resonance.

When the Heart and Throat align, passion flows into purpose, and purpose into prosperity.

Simon Cowell: A Different Kind of Manifesting Generator

Simon Cowell, interestingly, is also a Manifesting Generator, but his energy moves very differently from Carrie’s.

His Throat connects to his Sacral energy through his Self Center (sometimes called the GPS Chakra). This creates what’s known as the Channel of Exploration, the energy of trailblazing and bold self-expression.

He also carries the Alpha Channel, which drives leadership and the courage to speak truth without apology.

We’ve all seen it on American Idol: Simon’s sharp honesty, his confidence, his clarity. That’s his design in action.

Carrie’s Superpower: The Channel of Concentration

Carrie’s chart also features a defined link between her Root Chakra (drive and stamina) and her Sacral Chakra (life force and creativity).

This forms the Channel of Concentration — the energy of sustained focus and productive flow.

It’s what allows her to channel her creativity day after day, maintaining steady momentum over time. With rest and balance, this becomes her secret to long-term success.

Final Thoughts

Both Carrie Underwood and Simon Cowell are brilliant examples of the Manifesting Generator in action, yet they express that energy in completely different ways.

That’s the beauty of Human Design: no two charts are ever the same. Even when people share the same Type, their specific channels, chakras, and life experiences give them their own energetic fingerprint.

If you’re curious about your own Design, I offer free Human Design charts through my secure client portal. Once you’ve received your chart, we can begin exploring it together — one “Rubik’s cube move” at a time.

You might be surprised at how clearly your energy starts to speak once you know how to listen.
