Throat Center — one of the nine energy centers in Human Design. An open Throat absorbs the need to speak and attract attention from defined people nearby. You may talk too much or at the wrong moments, trying to claim space in a conversation. There's a tendency to say what you think others want to hear. When you wait to be invited into conversation, your words carry real weight. You can adapt your voice to different situations and express yourself differently with different people — making you an exceptional communicator.
