Energy Types
In Human Design, there are 5 Energy Types which approximately break down to this in the population:
Manifestor (9% population)
Manifesting Generator (33% population)
Generator (37% population)
Projector (20% population)
Reflector (1% population)
Human Design is like a blueprint, and each energy type illustrates the specific way to best utilize your energy, based on your type.

Generators, you are here to follow your joy and fascinations, which lead to satisfaction. When you are doing the things that light you up, you literally generate life force energy, which spills forward from you and you put into the world. (However, this is only when you’re doing things that are exciting and satisfying for you!) When you’re in alignment, doing things that are satisfying, you have a sparkly, juicy energy that spills forward and other people want to be around you because it’s a very magnetic and charismatic energy. It’s like the quote, “a rising tide lifts all ships,“ and you are able to lift the energy of a room, the vibe of a party,
Saying yes to things that light them up and clearing their calendar of things that don’t light them up

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! Your energy type will not change throughout your life. Human Design is meant to be a “lived experiment” not a prescription or one-size-fits-all solution.
-
Great! Now you can continue loving each other and understanding each other on an energetic level. When we understand our loved ones, we can encourage and cheer them on to do exactly what’s right for their energy. Ex:
Allow our Manifesting Generators to move quickly, to pivot often, to “put things down“ without shame or judgment— this is their path!
Allow our Projectors to see deeply and strategically, have amazing insights because they are so skilled at this, and allow them to rest & really listen and honor their energy ebbs & flows throughout the day.
-
It’s such a great question, but unlike other frameworks, Human Design is not prescriptive. It’s more about the individual, where they are in their journey, and having self-awareness in addition to knowing their partner and having compassion and understanding for their similarities and their differences.
This means any energy type can be a wonderful match with any under type: it’s more about their self-awareness, and their understanding and love toward their partner for who they truly are.
-
Awareness is the 50% of the journey! With love and compassion, start really small and see if you can implement any changes today or this week to start living your design (aka living your energy type) more. Here’s a question for each energy type to get you started!
Manifestor: When thinking about your relationships, which ones have you overthinking, and which ones feel easy? (Consider if there is there a correlation to the ones that empower you to show up as your naturally biggest, boldest self.)
Manifesting Generator & Generator: What are 3 things each day that you would find really satisfying? How can you prioritize those in your schedule?
Projector: How are you prioritizing regular rest in your schedule (even when you think you should keep going)? What is one way you could rest a little more, even if it’s just 15-20 minutes per day?
Reflector: How to the people and the environments/spaces/places that you’re spending time with/in feel in your body?
