ReflectorĪlso known as the “mystical mirrors” of the world, Reflectors only make up 1% of the population as they have no defined channels or circuits, making them completely open to other people’s energy of all kinds. Not to be misunderstood, “waiting for the invitation” is typically one-and-done for their relationships, jobs, and opportunities – once they are in them, they don’t need to wait for additional invitations to self-express. When they are not waiting for the invitation, their not-self theme will lead them into feelings of bitterness. Projectors do not have a defined sacral center, so their access to energy is finite, unlike Gen/Manigens. Projectors, however, will have the choice to accept or deny their invitation then after. They are dubbed “the guiding force” amongst the strategies and with only 18% of the population falling under this strategy type, you will find that Generators and Manifesting Generators are naturally drawn to them so they will have something (or someone) to respond to. Projectors enjoy going with the flow of life, but they are best suited for leadership roles in life.

Instead, they do best when they start to become selective with who and what they are responding to, and who they choose to inform afterward – especially because this strategy craves freedom, and that includes freedom with their time and energy. They do not do well when they deplete all of their energy responding to the endless river of things that flow their way. They also have a defined sacral center, meaning that they do well to wait to respond, but they can also inform or share their insight with others. This strategy type is also known as the “multi passionate genius”, meaning that they are not meant to tie up all of their creative energy in one thing, they are meant to be a jack of all trades. Manifesting GeneratorĪlso making up 35% of the population, the counterpart to Generators is the Manifesting Generator. Their “not-self” theme is frustration, meaning that if they are out of alignment, it will show up as a combination of anger and resistance that usually presents itself after enough time of them not using their strategy of waiting to respond or making decisions from a mental place. It is important for this type to be able to say “no” when something is not a full and exciting “yes”.

In order to be a Generator, you must have a defined sacral center in your chart, and others may see you as an endless bout of energy which can be taken advantage of if you are not capable of setting strong boundaries. They are dubbed the “Magnetic Creators” of the world, and others are drawn to their warm and open energy.

Generators make up about 35% of the population and this is the most common strategy type, tied with Manifesting Generators. What Are the Human Design “Strategy Types”? Generator
