In Human Design 101 (part one) you learned how astrology, the I-Ching, Kabbalah, and Chakra system combine to tell the story of you. And how your birth time determines it all. If you missed it, click here to learn about the fabric of your Human Design chart.

The foundation of your Energy Type, which is the starting point in Human Design, hinges on the relationship between your centers (all the shapes in your chart).
Why this matters:
Your chart represents how your energy was designed to flow, therefore learning how to honor it and how to work with it vs against it, will set you up to find flow and harmony in your relationships, career/work/job, parenting, friendships, life itself. And it all depends on how your centers connect in your chart.
There are FIVE Energy Types in Human Design:
Reflector Chart
You’ll instantly be able to tell a Reflectors charts as it’s ALL white.
Reflectors make up about 1% of the population and are the most OPEN and SENSITIVE of beings.
Their gifts and talents (the numbers in their chart) take center stage as these are the only part of their chart that is colored in.
Reflectors are considered the Lunar Beings as they are directly impacted by the moon. As the moon shifts from one I-Ching gate to the next every 18 hours, the Reflector chart changes.
Meaning, for a moment each month, a Reflector will know what it fells like to be a Projector, Generator, Manifestor and only some Reflectors will experience the energy of a Manifesting Generator.
Wild right. This is why knowing about your CENTERS in key. Which ones you have and How they function in your chart is invaluable.
I highly recommend finding out how Sensitive you are (which is all based on your white centers) and then following it up with the Sensitivity Masterclass.

Generator Chart
A telltale sign that you’re a Generator is a colored SACRAL center (that’s the second square from the bottom).
The moment that center connects to any other center you know you’ve got a Generator or a Manifesting Generator (MG).
This center rules DESIRE, creativity and is pure life force in motion, it beckons:
“Bet it all on joy”
Following your bliss therefor is your number one job as a Generator or Manifesting Generator.
Reframing your relationship to joy, essentially, healing anything that stands in your way of vulnerability that opens your capacity to FEEL joy. This is your life work.
Generators make up about 37% of the population and they set the baseline frequency or energy of the planet.
It’s time we reclaimed joy as our birthright as if our lives depended on it bc they do. EVERYTHING & EVERYONE benefits when Generators are deeply satisfied from following their bliss.
Ready to follow your bliss,Generators? I’M READY.
Manifesting Generator Chart
Manifesting Generator (MG) charts share the SACRAL CENTER with Generators, BUT will also have their throat center (third shape from the top) connecting to one of the motor centers, that’s the Sacral, Ego, Solar Plexus and Root.
Which can either be directly or indirectly. How the energy flows in your charts between centers defines your STRENGTHS, TALENTS, GIFTS, and APTITUDES.
The color in your chart and how it connects together weaves a unique story of YOU. It describes how and what you are meant to SHINE and share with the world.
This combination of the Throat to a motor center (which defines a Manifestor) and the Sacral (which defines a Generator) is what makes MG’s a hybrid of two energy types and gives them that unstoppable and BIGGEST energy in the room vibe. Even if they’re the most humblest and quiet, their energy is vast and capable.
Approximately 33% of the population they’re truly a sight to behold when they’ve mastered their energy type.

Manifestor Chart
Manifestors make up approximately 8% of the population. Historically they’ve been the RULERS, KINGS and QUEENS of realms.
Directing the building of structures, systems, and foundations for life as we know it.
Currently, Manifestors want to have fun, some want to take us to the moon, and others are starting movements that are going to elicit massive rebuilds of our structures, especially as we get closer and closer to 2027 – New Era.
Manifetsors are unique in that they are the ONLY Energy Type that commands energy with their voice. They literally materialize the metaphysical into the physical once they’ve Mastered their Energy Type and aligned with their soul.
Their guidance and intuitive power comes from silencing the world, tuning inward, and honestly voting what they are given to say.
One integrated urge after another integrated urge they lead us.
A Manifetsor chart relays on a motor center (Ego, Solar Plexus, or Root) indirectly (the example here) or directly connecting to the throat center.
Each Energy Type has subtle variations that depend entirely on the relationship between your centers. The colored parts and the white parts combine uniquely to make up your TRUE SELF.

Projector Chart
Projectors have the most varied charts.
In fact, there are three different kinds of Projectors:
- Classic
- Mental
- Energy
It all depends on the centers and their relationship to each other.
I’ve read for Projectors with only two centers colored in. And I also read for one Projector who had 8 centers colored in! Imagine my shock. In all my years of reading charts I thought I had seen it all. I bet I’ll be surprised many more times. That’s how unique Human Design Charts really are.
Projectors make up approximately 21% of the population and here’s how I deduce I’m looking at a Projector chart.n If the chart didn’t have a colored in sacral center + no motor centers connecting to the throat, I knew it was a Projector.
As the newest Energy Type, their primary purpose is to GUIDE, actually to be a new kind of CEO. One that directs with solicited guidance. This is the new way.
What are they ULTIMATELY guiding us to? More frequent, genuine, and deeper levels of joy. By being more efficient at what we do, we then are gifted the one and only precious resource that is truly finite – TIME. Time to spend with loved ones, time doing whatever brings us joy. Projectors are here to remind us that it’s time to make joy the reason, the purpose, the why, the journey, the entire point.
They can only guide us to places they’ve themselves have gone. And they do this by truly Mastering their Energy and doing things radically differently than the status quo. That’s when we see their genius guidance in their magic lane.
