An Introduction To Human Design

Human design helps you understand your nature, potential and the different forms of interaction you have with the world around you. It’s not a belief system. it is a logical, empirical system that you can experiment for yourself and see whether it works for you or not. Human design is a complex system that can feel overwhelming. In this mini-series, I’ll explain the basics of your design so that you can feel empowered to start moving towards a fulfilling life in your own unique way. So let’s get started. Note: You’ll need a Human Design chart to follow along. If you already have yours, great! If not, you’ll need your birth date, time, and location to generate one. For more information, please visit my profile.

I remember the first time I received my chart and seeing all those lines, colours and shapes, I felt completely overwhelmed. I don’t want you to have that feeling. So let me start with explaining that a human design chart represents a snapshot of the cosmos at more less 3 months before you were born and the moment on the day of your birth. Human design combines those two layers and put them on top of each other to show you how your energy interacts.

Congratulations! You’re a generator! You are here with a mission to build and do incredible things in the world. It’s time to stop pushing and forcing and just do what makes you happy! Do work that you love and dedicate your life and endless energy to fulfilling that calling. When you find the things that light you up, you light up the whole world.

Congratulations! You’re a manifesting generator! You are a multi-passionate person who is here to do many things in life and here to inspire others to use their energy to create, or build what they love. You love variety and it’s best to throw out the long term plan and just do the thing that is right in front of you. It’s okay that you don’t know what you’ll do next. Quit needing to have your path mapped out. You’re never off track, because you’re not designed to be on track. You’re here to groove us a new one.

Congratulations! You’re a manifestor! You are here to make an impact, inspire others to make a change or start something new. As a manifestor have deep bursts of energy, followed by deep rest. If you deprive yourself of rest, you won’t be able to save up enough energy for a surge later.

Congratulations! You’re a projector and you have the unique ability to see the journey of other people. Where they are, where they desire to be and if they let you you can gently guide them there. You get energised from being around others or from having people ask them for their guidance, but don’t wait for external validation to feel seen. Master your own sense of self worth and value.

Congratulations! You’re a reflector! Reflectors are very rare because they make up only about 1% of the population, which makes you a truly unique being! Reflectors are the mirrors of society. By always shifting and adapting you help us all move along more quickly.

We often hear phrases like ‘follow your heart, trust your gut, but this advice isn’t true for everybody, some of us need to speak and hear ourselves, while others need the environment to tune in. And the expression to ‘think things through’ or use your brain is actually not where decisions are made. They can confirm, but our answers and impulses come from your authority.

Now, before we wrap up, it's time to explore some practical things tailored to each Human Design type, including Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors.
