within the Human Design System. The study of this knowledge requires extensive additional training and detailed information.
- There are just 5 distinct types of human beings: three energy types – Manifestor, Generator, and Manifesting Generator,
and two non-energy types – Projector and Reflector, each having their distinct strategy for success. When this is not
followed, they lose their energy and power through strong negative feelings.
- The concept of 'Not-Self' refers to when someone is living from their conditioned life (not following their specific strategy and
having no real sense of who they are).
- Any center we have open (white) in our chart is where we are open to conditioning from others. As their aura come in contact
with ours we amplify whatever is going on for that person if they have a defined (coloured) center that we have open. This
can cause us to live out a life that’s not our own.
anyone. They can easily act or put things directly into action. But they need to inform those who will be affected by their actions
what they are about to do before they act. Otherwise, they meet strong resistance from the people involved who can feel ignored. As
a result, Manifestors can end up feeling very disconnected from the people around.
Strategy for success: inform before acting.
Predominant negative feeling: anger.
The 'Not-Self' Manifestors rebel or conform but never inform. Their anger is deeply repressed and they may appear very polite and
gracious until they meet the resistance associated with not informing. Then, the latent anger erupts swiftly and without warning,
especially if they are emotional.
Generators (about 35% of the whole population), are the most powerful of all the types, but unless they understand how they work
and follow their strategy for success, they are the most frustrated people alive. Generators are designed to respond to life; they
have to wait until life initiates them first, having no idea of where they are going until they respond. They know what is right for them
to do or say only by their response to something. The response comes from deep in their abdomen and is usually in non-verbals
like: "u-nun", "a-hunh", "mmmm", and "ahhhh". When they initiate, they frequently get involved in the wrong things, meet
resistance, get frustrated and quit.
Strategy for success: do not initiate, wait to act until you are clear about your response.
Predominant negative feeling: frustration.
The 'Not-Self' Generators: struggling to initiate without waiting to respond to what life will naturally bring to them, they meet all kinds
of barriers and resistance. These cause huge frustration and Generators often give up. They rarely stick at anything long enough to
achieve the mastery that is their true potential when thoroughly following the process step-by-step. Most Generators end up being
locked up in unfulfilling work or relationships.
Manifesting Generators (about 35% of the whole population), are Manifestors with Generators’ strategy. The main difference
between Generators and Manifesting Generators is that after waiting to respond to something, Manifesting Generators can
act more quickly than pure Generators. They have an endless supply of energy, and they love to be in the thick of life. Their true
power lies in waiting for opportunities and people to come to them. When they relax, their lives are fluid and fun, but when they
chase their goals and dreams they encounter a lot of resistance and pain.
Strategy for success: wait before responding to something, but once started, go full speed ahead; may even skip steps or
delegate most details.
Predominant negative feeling: frustration and anger.
The 'Not-Self' Mainfesting Generators are frequently impatient and even aggressive, always trying to initiate and manifest. As a
result, they meet resistance through which they smash repeatedly, damaging their body and health.
Projectors (about 20% of the whole population), have a natural gift of working with and guide the energy of others, but only when
they are recognized and appreciated for their unique skills and individuality. They only know this when they receive an
appropriate invitation. Without such an invitation, they don’t know whether they’re able to put their talents and abilities to use in a
natural and healthy way or not. When they try to act or to join in without an invitation, they only meet resistance and are not
acknowledged by others. Only the Projectors can completely understand both Manifestors and Generators, and the key to their
amazing power is recognition. Unrecognized and uninvited, they are powerless. Once they are recognized, for who they really are -
according to their specific design - they can achieve anything. To know what invitations are good for them, Projectors need more
knowledge of their own inner design than Manifestors or Generators.
Strategy for success: do not pursue or initiate, wait for all special invitations in life: marriage, career, family, love, major events.
Predominant negative feeling: bitterness.
The 'Not-Self' Projectors are always trying to manifest, initiate, or to be seen by people who simply don’t recognize their ability to
guide. When meeting resistance, they become bitter and resentful as they end up having to compromise. As non-energy types
(having no consistent access to their own energy), they frequently find themselves exhausted.
Reflectors (about 2% of the whole population) are open to the world in every way, since they have nothing fixed in their nature to
rely upon (none of the 9 centres are coloured in). If they don’t understand how their inner design works they can feel lost and
overwhelmed by life. They often take others in very deeply, being deeply disturbed due to lack of self-knowledge and adverse past
conditioning. They can avoid great disappointments in life f they can understand their openness and how to work with it: before
making major decisions, they need to wait out the cycle of the moon (28.5 days) ; it’s this movement of the moon through the
zodiac that gives the Reflectors access to their own inner wisdom only over time. They have a fixed lunar pattern that repeats every
month, sometimes being like a Projector, sometimes like a Manifestor, or like a Generator. Reflectors need to understand more
about their own design and the Human Design System than anyone else to be able to successfully apply their strategy for success.
Strategy for success: Wait out the moon cycle (28.5 days) before making any major decisions.
Predominant negative feeling: disappointment.
The 'Not-Self' Reflectors are often confused and lost, left feeling disappointed with others and sadly depressed by the resistance
they meet in trying to initiate or manifest. Instead of being the focal point of a community they often end up feeling left out. Not
understanding their design and strategy, they often have to endure constant identification with other people’s emotions, stress, or
anxiety.
centers (the other one being the Root
center), it represents the inspiration. It
fuels - inspires - the mind (Ajna center,
the mental conceptualizing process).
If it’s coloured in your chart, you’ll have a
huge pressure to understand, make
sense of or know what your inspiration is
all about. It’s biological aspect is the
pineal gland.
A: Ajna center: it’s function is mental
conceptualization which is fueled by the
Head center. The mind is a computer
meant to research, measure, compare,
analyze; it doesn’t know what is good for
us, and can’t make good decisions for us
- despite our ‘Not-Self’ conditioning
otherwise.
Using it as a decision-making tool is the
greatest mistake we can make. The mind
is not equipped to let go, therefore we
have to live all the consequences of
acting on decisions made from this
centre.
Chronologically, is our second
awareness centre (our mind
consciousness). The mind’s fear is
anxiety. It’s biological aspect is the
pituitary gland.
most complex of all the centers as it has the most gates (the point where a channel enters a center). It is the centre of communication
that can lead to doing only when it’s directly connected to one of the four motors in the bodygraph (E, SO, SA, or R).
Biologically it relates to the thyroid & the para-thyroid glands – so it’s theme is metabolism.
G: G center: is the centre of our identity, it’s about a sense - or lack - of identity, and it has two themes: love and direction. Inside this
centre is the Magnetic Monopole that holds us together in our illusion of separation, and simultaneously keeps pulling us outside of
ourselves; in that sense, the G center is about love. It’s secondary function is to give us our trajectory in life, our movement in space,
and in that sense G center is about direction. Its biological attribute is the liver and the blood.
E: Ego or Heart center: the smallest centre in the bodygraph, it’s a very powerful motor, which drives our will and ego powers. It theme
is all about surviving in the material plane in established communities. Unlike the other three motors (SO, SA, and R), it can’t be
pressurized by the Root center, as there is no channel connecting the two.
It has a very important biological significance as the four gates coming from the Heart center relate directly to the physical heart itself,
the stomach, the thymus gland and the gall bladder.
SO: Solar Plexus center: is our only emotional centre, and at the present time is yet a powerful motor: so powerful that anyone who
has the Solar Plexus defined in their chart has it as their authority in their lives. At this stage in human evolution this centre is going
through a great evolutionary change, and will eventually be our third awareness centre, (our spirit consciousness). The themes related
to this centre are: feelings, emotions and sensitivity; its fears manifest as nervousness.
Biologically, it relates to the kidneys, the prostate, the pancreas and the nervous system.
SP: Splenic center is our oldest, the first awareness center that we have (our body consciousness). Its frequency is in the ‘now’, and
it has to do with our fears. It’s job is to keep us healthy and alive. It’s themes are health, feeling good, and survival.
Biologically it relates to the lymphatic system, the spleen and the spleen cells.
SA: Sacral center: is the most powerful motor of our life force. If you could cut open the Sacral centre you’d see a huge energy vortex
operating in a spiral in the body. It represents the life force itself and continues to run until we die. When exhausted it goes through a
period of regeneration. Everyone who has it defined in their chart is either a Generator, or a Manifesting Generator. The Sacral center
speaks, it makes sounds. All Generators are noisy beings (with the exception of those who only have the 34th gate and nothing else
fixed in the Sacral center). They make noises in response to what comes towards them; they make noise while eating and making love.
Its themes are sexuality, fertility, vitality, movement and persistence.
R: Root center: is the other pressure centre (the other one being the Head center), as well as a motor. But unlike the Head center,
which pressures from above, the Root center pressures from below. It relates to the adrenal glands and is all about how we
experience and express stress. Such a pressure moves us through the world, pressurizing us to evolve and adapt continuously.
