10-20 (Awakening — being yourself here and now) appears in just 3.0% of charts — humanity's rarest channel. The most common: 20-34 Charisma (14.6%). Average channels per chart: 3.4; corpus record — 9.
Methodology: frequencies compared against the corpus-wide baseline; reported signals are significant at z ≥ 3 (most at z ≥ 4, surviving Bonferroni correction across ~540 comparisons). Most celebrity birth times are unknown (noon default) — this adds noise to profiles/lines but barely affects channels and type. Correlation ≠ causation.
