**Ernest Wykes** (April 6, 1873 – April 1962) was a British-American astrologer renowned for his insightful contributions to astrology magazines and his active membership in the American Federation of Astrologers (AFA), which he joined on April 12, 1950. Born in Warwick, England, Wykes was a Manifesting Generator in Human Design, a type characterized by a dynamic blend of energy and creativity. This unique energy allowed him to respond to life’s opportunities with enthusiasm and a deep sense of awareness, guided by his Emotional Inner Authority.

Wykes’ Human Design Profile was 3/5, which highlights a life marked by experimentation and learning through trial and error. This profile also bestowed upon him a natural ability to influence and connect with others, making his insights particularly impactful in the field of astrology. His Incarnation Cross, the Right Angle Cross of Consciousness (35/5 | 63/64), indicates that his life’s work was intricately tied to the exploration and dissemination of knowledge, particularly within astrological practices.

Throughout his career, Wykes channeled his energy through various channels, including 64-47, 63-4, 43-23, 1-8, 35-36, and 3-60. These channels contributed to his multifaceted approach to astrology, enhancing his ability to connect with others on a profound level and share wisdom that resonated deeply with his audience.

Wykes passed away in April 1962, shortly before his widow followed him in July of the same year. Their passing marked the end of an era for those who appreciated Wykes’ contributions to astrology. His legacy continues to inspire aspiring astrologers and those interested in the intersection of astrology and Human Design, showcasing the lasting impact of a Manifesting Generator who embraced his unique gifts and shared them with the world.
