Human Design & Type in Brief
The briefest overview of Human Design
Human Design is a blend of ancient observed sciences and contemporary science. It’s based on the ancient Chinese I-Ching, Astrology, the Hindu Chakras, and the Kabbalah mixed with Genetics, Astronomy, and Biochemistry. The ancient and the modern sciences come together with a beautiful blend of logical mechanics and deeply artistic intuition and knowing.
The Human Design Chart, or referred to as BodyGraph, is a visual representation of how energy flows through your body. You can think of it like a blueprint or circuit board.
Within the BodyGraph there are
9 Centers based on the Chakras and organs and glands of the body
64 Gates based on the 64 hexagrams of the Chinese I-Ching and 64 codons of our DNA
6 Line Qualities based on the 6 lines in the I-Ching hexagram
36 Channels or circuits that are made up of gates and connect to the 9 centers as circuits of energy flow

Ultimately, when you dive in and learn about your unique Human Design it’s a weaving together of mechanics and details along with your lived experiences and how various aspects show up for you. This weaving together allows for the deep awareness, understanding, and acceptance of self as well as the connection to purpose.
One of the highest, most broad levels of understanding your Human Design is Type. There are five types and each of these represent how an individual operates energetically and speaks to their aura. It is not a personality or psychological type. Each type has an associated Strategy which is a specific way of being in the world to meet the least amount of resistance. It is related to how energy optimally flows through you. Strategy informs how you best create opportunities with ease and eliminate resistance.
Simply understanding your own Type and Strategy are powerful. With these pieces you can begin to bring awareness and experiment with how your Design plays out in your life.

Below are each of the five types and a few high level notes of each.
So, you’re a Projector, what does that mean?
You thrive when you are recognized and invited to share your gifts, genius, ideas, and self with others and the world. Recognizing your own brilliance, gifts, and talents is key to ‘being invite-able’
Your Strategy is ‘to be invited’
When you are invited, subtly or explicitly, you excel at leading and guiding processes and people. You are focused on and excellent at recognizing others though may often feel unrecognized yourself
Not all ‘invitations’ are for you, use your inner knowing and decision making authority to discern what is correct
When you are aligned and ‘on track’ you have the feeling and sensation of success, and when you are ‘off track’ or mis-aligned you feel bitterness.
So, you’re a Manifestor, what does that mean?
You are here to initiate ideas, concepts, and start things happening yet not specifically do ALL the work
Others may find you closed off yet this is simply because you are protecting and cultivating your energy until the time is right to initiate and share in the world
Your Strategy is ‘to inform’
Informing others before you initiate is key to smoothing the pathway for you and your ideas to land in the world
You do not like to be specifically guided by others but do want to be informed and can feel anger if you are not
When you are aligned and ‘on track’ you have the feeling and sensation of peace, and when you are ‘off track’ or mis-aligned you feel anger.
So, you’re a Generator, what does that mean?
You are here to provide the energy to move things forward in the world
You have a magnetic presence that naturally draws people, things, and ideas to you and you in turn respond to them in the moment
Your Strategy is ‘to respond’
Response comes from your sacral center (your gut), it is key to learn to listen/feel the yes/no that the sacral provides in making decisions. Yes/No questions are your best friend
The goal is to always do what you love and love what you do waiting and responding as the next steps reveal themselves
When you are aligned and ‘on track’ you have the feeling and sensation of satisfaction, and when you are ‘off track’ or mis-aligned you feel frustration.
So, you’re a Manifesting Generator, what does that mean?
You are multi-passionate, fast moving, and here to provide the energy to move things forward in the world
You have a buzzing and magnetic presence that naturally draws people, things, and ideas to you and you in turn respond to them in the moment
Your Strategy is ‘to respond’
Response comes from your sacral center (your gut), it is key to learn to listen/feel the yes/no that the sacral provides in making decisions. Yes/No questions are your best friend
The goal is to always do what you love and love what you do. It’s ok to let projects or things go that no longer excite you.
When you are aligned and ‘on track’ you have the feeling and sensation of satisfaction, and when you are ‘off track’ or mis-aligned you feel frustration.
So, you’re a Reflector, what does that mean?
You have a gentle and quiet presence, you are sampling and reflecting back the people, places, and things around you
Environment, in all aspects of the word, are incredibly important for you because you are a mirror to it all
Your Strategy is ‘to wait a lunar cycle’
When big decisions need to be made it’s key to have patience and take time making the decision, waiting a 28 day Lunar Cycle allows you clarity
With no defined centers you sample energy throughout the month so you will feel energetic shifts, it’s also helpful to discuss decisions with others and gain clarity to come to a deep sudden knowing
When you are aligned and ‘on track’ you have the feeling and sensation of surprise, and when you are ‘off track’ or mis-aligned you feel disappointment
