Instead of asking “what’s your sign?” certain circles are now asking “what’s your design?” More specifically, what’s your type?

There are 5 types in Human Design — Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector — determined by your birth date, time, and location (similar to calculating your sign in astrology).

Projectors make up about 22% of the population and are the newest energy type, here to lead us in a new direction. Here’s what you need to know about Projectors.

The Projector: Wait for it… Recognition! Success!

The Projector type is referred to as a “non-energy” type because all Projectors have an undefined sacral center on their Human Design chart. Translation: they’re not here to be consistent doers like Manifesting Generators and Generators. While Projectors can ride the energy of those around them, they should only do so for a period of time. In fact, some Human Design experts recommend that Projectors only work a few hours a day to avoid burnout, their Achilles’ heel!

Why is this? Projectors are here to guide others. Like a good coach, their gift is to help direct their players instead of playing the game themselves…
