The 5 Human Design Types

Within the Human Design system, there are five Human Design types:

  1. Manifestors

  2. Generators

  3. Manifesting Generators

  4. Projectors

  5. Reflectors

Each type has a general role they are here to fulfill and a strategy that helps them to work with rather than against the natural flow of their energy.

Much of what you learn about yourself within the lens of Human Design has to do with your unique energetic blueprint. This blueprint shows you how your energy naturally flows within different areas of your life. When you learn to work with that natural flow, it opens up a more easeful way to move through life.

MANIFESTORS

Manifestors make up 9% of the population and are here to initiate. They are the trailblazers and change makers and have an ability to ignite others into action. They are the only type that can initiate projects and ideas without some sort of external cue because their inspiration comes directly from Source.

They have a strong energetic aura that can be felt by others around them. As such, their strategy is to inform others before they act. This doesn’t mean they need to ask for permission. In fact, because of their powerful initiating energy, they aren’t here to be told what to do or what not to do. However, by informing others before acting, it gives people around them a chance to move out of their way, to support them or to be inspired into acti0n.

GENERATORS

Generators make up 37% of the population and are here to build, to do the work and to become masterful at the art of building and working. Their role to build and work gives them access to the energy required to fulfill that role as long as they are using their strategy, which is to wait to respond.

They are designed to dance and continuously cultivate their relationship with the universe as they create. Before leaping into action by internal inspiration alone, they can find a more easeful path by waiting to respond to clues, cues, and signals that the universe sends them within their environment.

MANIFESTING GENERATORS

You can think of Manifesting Generators like a hybrid of Manifestors and Generators. They make up 33% of the population. They’re mostly known as a being a Generator type with Manifestor qualities. Like pure Generators, they are here to do the work, to build and to master the art of working and building. They have a non-linear approach to life, look for shortcuts to their mastery, a desire to sample #allofthethings and are here to remind us to be lit up by life.

They have a dual strategy of informing before acting (from their Manifestor side) and waiting to respond (from their Generator side).

PROJECTORS

Projectors make up 20% of the population. They are intuitively connected to what’s possible. Projectors are here to know and guide others towards that possibility. They hold within them the template for a new era in humanity and their role is to help the rest of us move into that new era.

Before they share their immense wisdom of what’s possible for an individual or for whatever they are involved in, the projector strategy is to wait to be invited. These invitations show them who they are here to guide.

REFLECTORS

Reflectors are our shiny unicorns and make up just 1% of the population. They have an important role to reflect how well the communities they are in are doing. They have the unique ability to hold up a mirror to others around them so they can see themselves reflected in the reflector’s experience.

Because they are constantly reflecting, sampling and amplifying the energy around them, they need time to tease out everyone else’s energy from their own. It’s important for them to take more time than others to feel into their decisions. As such, their strategy is to wait a full moon cycle to make big decisions in their lives.

What is Human Design?

AN INTRODUCTION

Human Design is like a guidebook that shows you a natural way to engage in life based on your personal energy. Your Human Design chart is formulated using the date, time and place of your birth.  This information tells the story of the energy that surrounded you at birth and gives specific information about how you were designed to: 

  • create in an empowering, exciting and successful way

  • make decisions with more ease and in alignment with who you are

  • experience energy in the world

  • exchange energy, or interact, with others

  • approach and navigate life

  • live a truly meaningful and authentic life.

Your Human Design chart is your energetic blueprint to help you understand who you came here to be and how to live out the highest expression of your potential and your authentic self.

SO, I’M NOT BROKEN?

Spoiler: No, you’re not.

For most of my life, I’ve always been intrigued by #allthethings. I’d get excited about something and want to go try out that thing.  I chased the things that felt exciting.  Because there were so many new things to check out that I was excited about, this often meant not finishing everything that I was exploring.  If I was done with it and it no longer felt exciting, I was onto the next thing.

There came a point in my life, that I started to feel self-conscious about that approach. After all, you’re “supposed to” finish things, right? And you’re “supposed to” stick to one thing.  And if it was related to a career, you’re “supposed to” pursue something stable and you’re “not supposed to” pursue something simply because you felt excited about it.

When I discovered Human Design, I felt so seen when I realized that all of this was “written” in my chart.  What I had started to think of as my flaws were actually a purposeful part of me.  Rather than feeling ashamed about what I was drawn to and how I was called to move through life, I started to honor these parts of me as my personal navigation system. This gave me so much peace and an ability to embrace myself for who I am.  

WHERE DID HUMAN DESIGN COME FROM? 

Human Design was founded by Ra Uru Hu. In 1987, Ra had a spiritual encounter that lasted 8 days, when he essentially channeled the information that later became the Human Design System. 

It’s a synthesis of:

  • Eastern and Western Astrology

  • The Hindu Chakra system

  • The Judaic Kaballah

  • The Chinese I Ching

  • Quantum Physics.

HOW DOES IT HELP ME FIND MY TRUTH?

It’s like a map that shows you your natural state of being. It shows you the pure essence of your energy, which is your energetic being underneath the external stories and conditioning that all of us experience.  When we return to and live from that original essence, we return to our truth, our nature.
