Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, Manifestors and Reflectors have been the focus of my blog writing the past few weeks. It is important to know your type as each one plays a critical role in our world. Generators and Manifesting Generators make up 70% of our population and both have powerful internal motors that allow for continuous energy and an ability to turn out a lot of work. Projectors at 21% of the population are here to share their vision as well as guide, lead and manage others. Manifestors at 8% of the population, stir things up by creating and initiating action that allows them to create and manifest new things. Reflectors at less than 1% are the mirrors for mankind, constantly taking in all that is going on in their environment and then showing the rest of us how and what we are doing. Human Design has given us these amazing types to show each of us how to live our lives. How amazing would it be if everyone knew their type, and lived their type and strategy? Our world would have so much joy and happiness and a lot less struggle and chaos.
WHICH TYPE ARE YOU?
Generators: Wait to Respond
Generators are over 35% of the populations. To be a Generator, one has to have a defined or closed Sacral center which is a motor center. The Sacral motor, is the most powerful in Human Design. Generators wake up with full energy and it runs until they fall asleep at night. Generators are here to work, whether it is creative or manual and their energy is sustainable. The work that a Generator does isn’t important as long as it is inspiring. Once they fall asleep the energy is recharged and ready for them the next day. It is really important for the generator to do something physical each day so that it is burning its energy out. If you are not doing that you may find your nighttime to be restless and notice interruptions in your sleep.
Generators have all sorts of things happening in their world. As the Generators strategy is to wait to respond, it is not always easy to know how to do this. Generators need to wait for the right thing to respond to. It is so important to check in with your Sacral, ask the questions and wait for the “uh-huh” (indicating “yes”) and “uhn-uhn” (indicating “no”). For instance, if you are a generator and while driving you see a billboard about training to be nurse. Later in the day, you are in your favorite coffee shop and the two women next to you are talking about their course work in nursing. Hmm, now the nursing billboard is more alive in your reality. Might be time to begin asking yourself how you feel about nursing? Is it time to respond? Check in with your gut. Listen for those sounds. If you find that you are listening to your mind or the voice in your head, you are not following your strategy. To be as successful as possible in this life, learn how to work with your strategy. It is your guide for everything. A Generator’s not-self theme is frustration. If you are feeling frustrated, know you are not listening to your strategy.
Manifesting Generators
Manifesting Generators are approximately 34% of population and like Generator have a defined Sacral and all that powerful energy to use every day. Manifesting Generators are here to work and produceand like the Generator, it can by manual or creative types of work. Generators and Manifesting Generators stand out from all the other types because of this energy that is consistent and runs all day long. A main difference between the Generator and Manifesting Generator is that the Manifesting Generator has a defined and motorized throat. This defined throat motor adds in a degree of initiative and creative energy that increases the power of the Manifesting Generators as well as speed. Many Manifesting Generators are quick to act, respond and may miss a step or two here or there, and they may be prone to getting bored easily. The Manifesting energy may come off as pushy to others at times and can cause the Manifesting Generator issues if they push themselves to do things before checking in with their sacral. They need to remember, they are Manifesting Generators, not Manifestors.
Similar to the Generator, they also need to wait to respond, even as they are being bombarded with so many possibilities in their world. Manifesting Generators can push the gray area of initiation a little bit, but they want to be continually checking in with their sacral energy to make sure they are getting the right response. As Manifesting Generators are always initiating, creating and ready to take action, much of what they want to respond to will just show up in their lives. Whereas the Generator needed the nursing job to appear then waited for it to show up in their reality, a Manifesting Generator would have just needed to see the billboard or have a conversation with a friend where nursing was mentioned. They then need to just check in with their sacral, and if they get the yes, then start the research of the profession or training and then check in again. With Manifesting Generators, they also change their minds a lot if they are checking their strategy, often. Changing their mind is a good thing and like the Generator, a great way to know if you are not living your design is paying attention to when you are frustrated.
Projectors – Wait for the Invitation
At 21% of the population, many projectors have been parented or are even living as Generators and struggling. Projectors are here to manage, guide, direct and lead, not work. They are the Chief, not the Indian. They are born to project their ideas, thoughts, solutions and inspirations to others. Projectors do not have Sacral energy, so they do not have sustainable energy to keep going and going over a long period of time. They need to rest and take breaks. Projectors do best with flexible schedules that allow for rest or even better an afternoon nap. They also will do much better if they go to bed before they are tired in order to discharge the Sacral energy that they have picked up during the day.
Projectors need to be invited in order for their energy to get them through the day. The invitation can come in many forms: they can be formal, informal or implied, but the projector has to be certain the invitation was presented for there to be a correct exchange. The invitation is needed for every phase of the Projector’s life from relationships, employment, in a group or even to participate in events. People in your life can be of help in aiding or bringing invitations to you. It does not have to just be done by you. When you are not living your design, you may find yourself feeling bitter often.
Manifestors – Inform before you act
Manifestors are 8% of the population and they are here to create, act, initiate and manifest. Their energy is quick and flows to the throat center from one or more motor centers within the design. The throat center is where the creative and initiative expression comes from. The energy from the throat center is how the Manifestors creates opportunity for themselves and others. Manifestors are important to help the rest of us get things started and keep them going. Once the Manifestor initiates, the other types will come in and aid the Manifestor to bring things to creation, which allows the Manifestor to manifest.
Manifestors have very fast energy which guides them in their creative process. They really do not like slowing down to explain things to others and normally find this process to be an annoyance. However, the Manifestor needs the influx of energy from the other types once the initiation has begun for the desired effect to take place or for the manifestation to happen. It is up to the Manifestor to inform others before acting, so that the energy can keep flowing around them and their actions. When Manifestors do not inform, they become isolated from others and their energies. When not living their design, Manifestors become angry.
Reflectors – Wait 28 days
At less than 1% of the population, Reflectors are rare. They are also the mirror for all the other energies and actions amongst mankind. A Reflector has nine open centers. When you look at their chart, all the centers are white. Reflectors are highly empathetic and sensitive to what is going on in and around them. They also do not have sustainable energy. They are influenced by the energetic gates created by the cycles of the mon.
As their strategy is to wait 28.5 days, the entire lunar cycle before making any big decisions, this can cause difficulty for Reflectors. The more they understand their charts, the better they will be at understanding and living their design. Reflectors may struggle finding consistency in their environment as their nature is constantly changing. They take in the energy from those around them and need to keep their circle of friends to those they can really trust as they can be unduly influenced by others. When not living their design, Reflectors may feel disappointment.
