A Deep Dive Into Human Design

“To me, Human Design is the contract your soul makes with the Universe about who you came to be,
what you came to do, and what karma you came to correct this lifetime around”
Jenna Zoe - Human Design Expert

In our modern, fast-paced world, we are being bombarded with messages about who we should be in order to thrive in this world. All day long, we are flooded with advice about how to live our life, run our business, be the best parent; However, have you ever felt that not every piece of advice resonates with you? That you don’t feel destined to live the same life as everyone else?

Human Design teaches us that the same advice is not correct for everybody. According to Human Design the road to being your happiest, most successful self is completely unique to you. Human Design is designed to help you recognize your innate gifts and traits so you can be the person you truly came to this earth to be. According to Human Design, this is the most effortless road to living the life of your dreams.

Human Design was only developed in 1987 by Alan Krakower, and it has gained popularity and recognition worldwide in recent years. The Human Design system helps reconnect people to who they came here to be. It is a spiritual system that will help you understand how you exert energy and make decisions. The system is a very specific way to learn more about your personality, emotions, and energy centers. It is said to break down how you are wired to make decisions, be a partner, a parent, how you work in teams and much more. The system is based on your exact time, date and place of birth. Human Design is sometimes called an energetic blueprint, and it is said to be a mix of Kabbalah, I’Ching, Myers-Briggs, astrology, biochemistry, genetics, and the chakra system - all in one system.

The very first thing you need to do is look up your chart, which you can do at Jenna Zoe’s (she is a Human Design expert like no other!) website right here. All you need is your birthday, place, and time of birth. Please note that it will be complicated to read your Human Design chart by yourself, and you most likely will need some assistance from a Human Design reader.

Once you have your chart, the first thing you need to look at is your Energy Type. There are five main types. Each type has different ways of bringing in more opportunities and flow into their life.

The five Energy Types are:

• Generator
• Manifestor
• Manifesting generator
• Projector
• Reflector

Next up, your chart will also tell you how your specific intuition works, what your personality is, your unique way of eating, manifesting and much more. When you look at your chart or diagram it will resemble the top half of a human body, and it incorporates shapes that resemble each chakra. Some of the chakras are filled in while others are empty.

Human Design is complex and can be rather overwhelming at first glance so we would recommend that you start by focusing on your Energy Type first. Your Energy Type is how you exert energy and exchange it with the people around you. Authority is also worth diving into as it explains how you make decisions.

As mentioned above there are five Energy Types. Let’s take a little deeper dive into each Energy Type. We will only go over each type briefly, but you can find much more information about each type on My Human Design, which is honestly the best resource for anything related to Human Design.

Manifestor

• Strategy: To inform
• Signature: Peace
• Not-Self Theme: Anger

Manifestors tend to start many things/projects, but they don’t necessarily finish them. Many manifestors will experience powerful bursts of energy and then need to take rest in between these bursts of energy. Generally speaking manifestors hate being told what to do, and they need to feel a sense of autonomy. Often manifestors can see where things are going before others can. Manifestors value independence and they can easily start a hundred things at once.

Generator

• Strategy: To respond
• Signature: Satisfaction
• Not-Self Theme: Frustration

For generators it’s important to follow their excitement. Generators usually have very regular energy that’s meant to be used during the day and worn out by bedtime. They are the people who can keep going, and tend to be the hustlers of the world. For generators they shine brightest when they do things that excite them, and they should say no to things that don’t excite them.

Manifesting Generator

• Strategy: To respond, then inform
• Signature: Satisfaction
• Not-Self Theme: Frustration/Anger

Manifesting generators are a hybrid of manifestors and generators. These people can multitask like it’s nobody’s business. It’s very important for MG’s to honor that every day will look different, and MG’s should always keep in mind that their productivity and motivation can vary on a daily basis. They very much need to listen to their gut in everything they do.

Projector

• Strategy: To wait for the invitation
• Signature: Success
• Not-Self Theme: Bitterness

Projectors also experience an ebb and flow of energy. Projectors are designed to work fewer hours, as they are non-energy beings. Projectors derive energy from others and they don’t necessarily have much energy on their own. These people are driven by efficiency and not quantity, and they don’t feel a need to hustle.

Reflector

• Strategy: To wait for a lunar cycle
• Signature: Surprise
• Not-Self Theme: Disappointment

Reflectors are the rarest energy type. In fact, only about one percent of the world’s population are reflectors. Reflectors serve as a mirror for the world, and they are also non-energy beings. They mirror the energy they see back to the people they’re with. Fluid in nature, their energy can vary on a daily basis. Reflectors need to rebalance more than all the other energy types, and it is said that reflectors should wait about 28 days before making major decisions.

Human Design is not meant to provide you with or predict definitive answers about your future. It is meant to help you understand and analyze certain aspects of your life and potentially change your habits to become more productive, happier and just live your best life.
