According to Human Design, humanity is divided into 5 major Types, each with its unique energetic aura and strategy for navigating the world. Trying to act like a Type you are not is the primary cause of frustration, anger, bitterness, and disappointment.
Let's explore the five energy types and how they are meant to operate:
1. Generators (around 37% of population)
The Builders Generators are the life force of the planet. They have an open, enveloping aura that draws life to them. Their defined Sacral center gives them sustainable, long-term energy for work and life—but only when they are doing something they love!
- Strategy: To wait to respond
- Signature: Satisfaction
- Not-Self Theme: Frustration
2. Manifesting Generators (around 33% of population)
The Multi-Tasking Builders MGs are a hybrid of Generators and Manifestors. They also have a defined Sacral center, bringing sustainable energy, but they can move quickly from idea to action. They thrive when they are spinning multiple plates and following their gut responses.
- Strategy: To wait to respond (and then inform)
- Signature: Satisfaction
- Not-Self Theme: Frustration and Anger
3. Projectors (around 20% of population)
The Guides Projectors are not here to work the traditional 9-to-5. Their aura is focused and penetrating, designed to absorb and read the energy of others. They are our natural-born guides and systems-thinkers.
- Strategy: To wait for the invitation
- Signature: Success
- Not-Self Theme: Bitterness
4. Manifestors (around 9% of population)
The Initiators Manifestors are the only Type meant to initiate action without waiting. Their aura is closed and repelling, protecting them as they clear a path forward to start new things. They are independent impact-makers.
- Strategy: To inform before acting
- Signature: Peace
- Not-Self Theme: Anger
5. Reflectors (around 1% of population)
The Mirrors Reflectors are extremely rare. They have no defined energy centers, which makes them highly sensitive. Their aura samples the environment to read the health of the community. They are deeply tied to the lunar cycle.
- Strategy: To wait a lunar cycle (28.5 days)
- Signature: Surprise
- Not-Self Theme: Disappointment
