What is Human Design and the Human Design Types? Imagine having a map that shows you how to navigate life, highlighting your strengths and the best way to interact with others.
That’s what Human Design offers.
It’s a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakras. Your chart is like a guide to understanding yourself deeper. and how you are designed to operate in the world.
This unique blueprint is calculated using your birth data—time, date, and place of birth—to reveal your Human Design Type. There are four main Types in Human Design and a fifth combo type-Manifest-Generators:
each with its own characteristics and strategies for making decisions and interacting with the world.
Understanding your Human Design Type can provide profound insights into your behavior, decision-making processes, and interaction with energy.
For instance, Generators have a solid internal engine for work and life and are at their best when they can respond to situations.
Conversely, Projectors excel in guiding and managing others but must wait for an invitation to share their wisdom to be genuinely heard and recognized.
Manifestors are initiators, capable of starting new projects and sparking change, yet they thrive when they inform others before taking action.
Lastly, Reflectors mirror the energy of those around them, possessing the ability to see different perspectives. Still, they require a lunar cycle to make major life decisions to ensure they are aligned with their true self.
By delving into your Human Design chart, you also uncover your Authority, which is your inner compass for making decisions that are right for you.

Understanding the Higher Consciousness of Human Design & Why It Matters
Get Your FREE Human Design Mini-Reprt & Discover Your High-Level DESTINY
According to ConsciousnessClibrations.com, Human Design calibrates at 465 on Dr. David R. Hawkins’s renowned Map of Consciousness. This is a relatively high level of consciousness, suggesting that it “holds” significant truth in consciousness. It’s a personality profiling system worth your attention and consideration.
460 is the level of consciousness of excellence. The energy field or impersonal attractor field of 465 is the same energy or context as:
- David R. Hawkins’ level of consciousness at birth (consciousnesscalibrations.com)
- Beyond Order: 12 more rules for life by Jordan Peterson, and
- The statement “Beliefs are the determinant of what you experience.” David R. Hawkins From the book “The Map of Consciousness Explained” page 298
To put this into further perspective, here are the calibrations of other personality typing systems:
- Akashic Records 500 “a compendium of all human events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred… encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the etheric plane.” –wikipedia Learned more about Akashic Records from my interview with Lisa Barnett, an Akashic Records instructor.
- Myers Briggs Type Indicator (455)
- Astrology 200-400, depending on the content
- Clifton Strengths Assessment (390)–“discover what you naturally do best, learn how to develop your greatest talents into strengths, use your personalized results and reports to maximize your potential” –gallup.com
- Numerology – 210
Now, none of these is “better than” another. They are just different energy fields and perspectives. From my understanding of consciousness, I see the higher level personality typing systems “holding more spiritual truths,” especially once you get into the 500 levels of consciousness.
The Origins of Human Design
Creation of the Human Design System by Ra Uru Hu
The Human Design system was revealed to Ra Uru Hu in 1987. It came to him as a synthesis of several ancient wisdom traditions and modern science. Ra spent years developing and teaching the system to help people understand their unique design. and live in alignment with it.
This encompassing system combines elements from the I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, the Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, and quantum physics to create a unique chart for each individual, referred to as a BodyGraph.
The BodyGraph illustrates how a person is wired to interact with the world and reveals one’s potential for health, decision-making, relationships, and personal fulfillment. By studying and integrating the knowledge presented in one’s Human Design, individuals can experiment with and experience their lives in a way more aligned with their true nature.
The detailed insights that Human Design offers extend far beyond just the initial categorization into Human Design Types like Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors.
Each category has subdivisions and nuances that further individualize understanding of one’s human design type.
For instance, within the Generators, there are Pure Generators and Manifesting Generators, each with distinct strategies for effectively engaging with life.
Profiles, another aspect of the Human Design system, add another layer of personality analysis by combining two numbers (e.g., 1/3, 6/2) that describe the dual nature of one’s personality and how one interacts with the world and oneself.

Synthesis of Various Disciplines in Human Design
Human Design is unique because it brings together many different knowledge systems.
This blend creates a comprehensive tool for self-discovery.
Each system contributes to the complete picture of who you are. and how you interact with the universe around you.
The I Ching
contributes an understanding of the 64 hexagrams, symbolic representations that play a crucial role in defining the gates within your BodyGraph, indicating potential areas of influence and personal development. Astrology provides insight into the planetary influences on your design, impacting how these gates express themselves over time.
T
he Hindu-Brahmin Chakra System
introduces the concept of energy centers, though Human Design adapts this by using nine centers instead of the traditional seven, reflecting different aspects of your personality and life processes. Finally, principles from quantum physics introduce the concept of the observer effect, which in Human Design suggests that awareness of your chart can fundamentally change how you experience and interact with the world.
This synthesis aims not just at self-understanding but also at practical application.
The Kabbalah,
particularly the Tree of Life, parallels the centers in your BodyGraph, offering a spiritual and analytical framework for understanding your inner workings.
Knowing one’s human design type can lead to more harmonious decisions, interactions, and relationships, as it encourages aligning actions with one’s inherent nature rather than struggling against it.
For example, a Projector learning to wait for invitations rather than initiating can lead to more successful outcomes and less frustration in life.
Vision and Development of the Human Design System
Ra Uru Hu envisioned a system providing clear insights into an individual’s nature. Over time, he refined Human Design to ensure that it could be accessible and valuable for everyone seeking knowledge about themselves.
Determining Your Human Design Type
by Ra Uru Hu
Importance of Birth Date, Time, and Place in Human Design
Your birth details are crucial in Human Design. They determine your chart, which reveals your human design type. This information is as unique to you as your fingerprint and is key to understanding your design.
Creating a Human Design Chart
To create your chart, you’ll need your birth data. The chart shows nine centers, channels, and gates that form your design. It’s a visual representation of your energy and potential.
Components of a Human Design Chart (Nine Centers, 36 Channels, 64 Gates)
The nine centers are like chakras. They show where you have consistent energy and where you are open to influence.
The channels and gates are pathways through which energy flows, each with significance—and thematic resonance within your overall design.
Each of the 36 channels and 64 gates is considered to hold certain energies and themes that influence various aspects of life, such as how you communicate, make decisions, or connect with others.
For instance, a gate might represent openness to new ideas, while a channel could symbolize the flow of creative energy from thought to action.
By understanding these elements, you can recognize where you might have innate strengths or potential vulnerabilities.
Identifying Your Basic Human Design Type
There are four main types in Human Design: Generators, Manifestors, Projectors, and Reflectors. Each has a unique role and strategy for making decisions. Knowing your type is the first step in embracing your true potential.
Interpreting the Human Design Chart

The interpretation of the Human Design chart is pivotal for applying its insights in a practical and meaningful way.
It requires a nuanced understanding of how the different components—centers, channels, and gates—interact and influence each other.
Whether a center is defined (colored in) or undefined (white) provides significant insight into an individual’s personality and tendencies. Defined centers indicate consistent energy patterns and attributes. In contrast, undefined centers suggest areas where one is more likely to be influenced by others or one’s environment, offering potential growth and learning opportunities.
Moreover, the definition of channels and gates contributes another layer of depth to a person’s profile. A fully defined channel implies a robust and consistent flow of energy between two centers, highlighting specific traits or skills.

Exploring Human Design Types
Identifying Your Basic Human Design Type
There are four main types in Human Design: generators, Manifestors, Projectors, and Reflectors. Each has a unique role and decision-making strategy. Knowing your type is the first step in embracing your true potential.
Overview of the Five Human Design Types
Let’s dive into the four main types + the one combination type. Understanding these will help you see where you fit into the puzzle of life.
Manifestors
Manifestors are the initiators. They are here to start things and make an impact on the world. They work best when they can act freely and independently.and have the unique ability to initiate actions that align with their vision. Their strategy for navigating life involves informing others of their intentions, which can help mitigate resistance and smooth their path forward. Manifestors hold approximately 8-9% of the population and are often seen as trailblazers.
Generators
Generators are society’s life force, making up about 70% of the population. They possess a strong and sustainable energy to work and create. Their strategy is to respond to situations and opportunities that life presents rather than initiating. This response mechanism allows them to tap into their sacral energy, guiding them towards work that is truly satisfying. Generators are at their best when they can find joy in their activities and use their boundless energy to achieve mastery.
Manifesting Generators
Manifesting Generators are a mix of Manifestors and Generators. They are fast-paced, efficient, and have the energy to multitask. They are great at finding shortcuts and making things happen quickly
Projectors
Projectors account for about 20% of the population and are characterized by their ability to manage, guide, and direct others. With a natural talent for understanding systems and people, Projectors excel when they are recognized for their insights and are invited to share their wisdom. Unlike Generators, Projectors do not have a consistent internal energy source for work and thus need to manage their energy wisely, taking rest when necessary.
Reflectors
Reflectors are rare and unique. They mirror the health and well-being of their community. They need to be in the right environment to truly thrive and reflect back clarity.and insight. Making up only about 1% of the population, Reflectors are the true chameleons of the Human Design system. They have the ability to become wise observers, absorbing and reflecting the energies around them. Their decision-making process is significantly different from the other types; they benefit from waiting a full lunar cycle before making major decisions. This unique strategy allows them to gain perspective and ensures that their choices are in alignment with their environment and the people within it.
Reflectors thrive in environments where they feel recognized and appreciated for their unique insights. Their role is not to initiate or actively guide but to offer reflections that can help others see things from a new angle. When Reflectors are valued and supported, they play a crucial role in the health and coherence of their communities by offering clarity and wisdom that comes from a deep connection to their surroundings.
Understanding these five Human Design Types can provide valuable insights into your innate strengths and challenges, helping you navigate life more easily and purposefully. Whether you are a Manifestor ready to forge new paths, a Generator or Manifesting Generator with the power to create and transform, a Projector who can guide and direct, or a Reflector with the capacity for exceptional wisdom, embracing your true potential begins with understanding your design.
