How it works
- Similar to astrology, to calculate your human design chart you need your birthday, your birth time, and the location of your birth.
© Shutterstock
4 / 30 Fotos
How it works
- Applying this information to human design, you get a snapshot of the cosmos at the moment you were born—and three months beforehand.
© Shutterstock

Inner authority
- Going deeper into Human Design, each energy type has its own "inner authority." This is a guide to how they should make decisions.
© Shutterstock
6 / 30 Fotos
Strategy
- The strategy of each type is the bridge between their authority and how they actually behave. Online resources to calculate human design often describe these in more detail.
© Shutterstock
7 / 30 Fotos
Type 1: Manifestors
- Manifestors are the initiators of the Human Design system, the people who get the ball rolling on things. They make up less than 10% of the world's population.
© Shutterstock
8 / 30 Fotos
Manifestor energy type
- Manifestors experience big bursts of energy, followed by big periods of rest afterward. They can work faster than some of the other types, but they're not able to sustain the pace long-term.
© Shutterstock
9 / 30 Fotos
Manifestor aura
- Manifestors have a very strong aura that is closed and repelling. It can be felt by others around them, and this gives them a very strong presence.
© Shutterstock
10 / 30 Fotos
Trailblazing mission
- They are trailblazers who value freedom and independence. They're meant to respond to life by informing others, and their theme is to find peace so their initiations can flow freely.
© Shutterstock
11 / 30 Fotos
Weaknesses
- They can feel a sense of shame when they burn out, as their energy fluctuates. They also fear being controlled so they shy away from how they're supposed to respond to life (informing), keeping things to themselves.
© Shutterstock
12 / 30 Fotos
Type 2: Generators
- Generators, making up 30% of the population, are the world's workhorses. They're meant to respond to life by responding: filling gaps in the workforce or addressing inequities in the world.
© Shutterstock
13 / 30 Fotos
Generator energy type
- Generators are the doers, builders, and problem solvers of the world. They create their own energy, which can sustain a steady momentum.
© Shutterstock
14 / 30 Fotos
Generator aura
- This energy propels the world forward. The way they access their own energy reserves fully is by only doing the things that light them up.
© Shutterstock
15 / 30 Fotos
Embodiment
- Generators can use their body as an antenna to know whether something is right or wrong for them. Continually responding to the things that feel like a "yes" will keep them on their Human Design path.
© Shutterstock
16 / 30 Fotos
Sacral chakra energy
- Their sacral chakra energy is strong, compelling them to create. However, if they extend themselves to create when something isn't a "yes," their energy depletes and they experience burnout.
© Shutterstock
17 / 30 Fotos
Type 3: Manifesting generators
- Manifesting generators are a hybrid of Manifestors and Generators, the quintessential "Jack of all trades," or a person who can wear many hats.
© Shutterstock
18 / 30 Fotos
Body response
- Similar to Generators, they are here to lean into their body's response, which will tell them if something is for them or not.
© Shutterstock
19 / 30 Fotos
Impactful
- Similar to Manifestors, they are here to blaze a trail and make an impact that's inspiring to others. They need variety, change, and evolution to feel content.
© Shutterstock
20 / 30 Fotos
Burnout
- Their weaknesses are also a combination of both of the other types, being prone to burnout. They can seem flaky to others when they don't communicate (inform them) they're moving on to the next thing that has piqued their interest.
© Shutterstock
21 / 30 Fotos
Type 4: Projectors
- Projectors make up 20% of the world's population. They're here to guide others on how to best use their energy, so they can work more efficiently.
© Shutterstock
22 / 30 Fotos
Wisdom and guidance
- Projectors are wise and can see people on a deep level. They're meant to help others by giving their advice, but they must wait for an invitation from a willing person to do so.
© Shutterstock
23 / 30 Fotos
Unsolicited advice
- However, this can get them into trouble. If they lean into the urge to give guidance without receiving the invitation, their unsolicited advice can frustrate people, causing them to close themselves off.
© Shutterstock
24 / 30 Fotos
Necessary rest
- As a non-energy type, they need a lot of rest. They're supposed to work efficiently, not as much, as the other types. They should share their work and wait for recognition to come from people who value their guidance. This will stop them from becoming bitter, which they are prone to if they feel their efforts aren't appreciated.
© Shutterstock
25 / 30 Fotos
Type 5: Reflectors
- Reflectors are the empaths of the energy types, soaking up the emotions of everyone around them. Their aura is like a sponge.
© Shutterstock
26 / 30 Fotos
The unicorn type
- They are the unicorns of Human Design: only 1% of the world's population have this energy type. They have strong discernment and can see when people are being authentic.
© Shutterstock
27 / 30 Fotos
Mirror to others
- A reflector aura is sampling, as they cannot consistently and reliably produce their own energy. Reflectors drink in the energy of others, reflecting it back to them like a mirror.
© Shutterstock
28 / 30 Fotos
Lunar type
- Reflectors work best when they attune their energy to the lunar cycle. They should wait 28 days before making big decisions. They absorb so much from the people around them, they need time to get back in tune with themselves, to find their own clarity.

Discover your Human Design type and what it means
A complex combination of ancient systems
© Shutterstock
Attempting to decode the mysterious "why" of our human existence has been a trend since, well, forever. To do so, some look to the subconscious and unconscious mind, and the modalities that help us to understand it better: think astrology, tarot, and other archetypal practices. Human Design is unique in that it combines several ancient systems of wisdom: the I Ching, chakra system, astrology, Kabbalah, and Myers-Briggs (among others); blending them into a single system to produce five different energy types. These energy types each have different ways of relating to—and thriving in—the world. Practicioners believe that by learning to work with your energy type, you can make your life flow more easily. Think of it as learning to swim with the current instead of upstream.
