Human Design Strategy

Manifestor Strategy: Inform those you will impact through your actions BEFORE you act. No need to ask permission as an adult Manifestor, all you're doing is letting them know what you intend to do in order to reduce the interference that comes from simply impacting with no warning. As a child it is better to ask permission first. Polite Manifestor children often get their way without meeting resistance.

Informing people is the last thing you want to do. It is not natural for you to do so. But Ra knew from his own experience, that something had to be done in order for Manifestors to be allowed to do what they want to do. He discovered that if he informed people about what he was going to do, many positive things happened. Sometimes people offered their help.

As a Manifestor you are designed to break through to new territory and open up markets and areas of interest not generally known. Once Ra informed others about what he was going to do, he saw that they would relax and usually let him act in the way he wanted to, even if they didn't appreciate it. His clarity in informing rarely met resistance.

Yes, you want to be in control of your life and one of your greatest fears is that others will try to control you. But by informing first, the opposite is generally the case. It's your closed and repelling but impactful aura that others resist. It is the uncontrollable and unknown impact that is feared. By informing those who will be impacted by your actions, they at least know what you are going to do and then they can be prepared.

What upsets people most about you is that you do things that are unexpected and possibly create consequences that you are not aware of because you don't inform others.

Generator and Manifesting Generator Strategy: Wait until there is a Sacral response to enter into something. Often there is a sound that comes with the response. However, it is the rise of energy through the body or the retraction of energy that is the key indicator. Sounds can be made by the Throat and many people allow the mind into the decision-making process because they mistake the Throat sounds with the Sacral sounds.

A response is immediate and powerful, it is your body letting you know that in that moment it is available.

This means you cannot know beforehand what is correct for you. No mental plans, no great ideas and no wonderfully creative insights will tell you, no matter how coherent and brilliant they may be. Such decisions, indeed any decisions, are not to be made mentally. It is your Sacral power that will inevitably do any work and you need to connect to it before you know whether you are available for doing something or not. A 'Response' can be felt as your energy rises up inside you, coursing through your body and your aura opens up towards whatever or whoever it may be that is correct for you.

Your mind rarely wants to wait and because you have energy ready to use, you can force yourself into work that you can't sustain and eventually give up. Instead of building something, you may consequently end up wasting your time and resources on something you can't or don't want to complete. Waiting for a Response when you have energy available, is not easy.

If you have a Solar Plexus emotional Center, then it is whatever the positive response related to, that you feel into over time.

The Projector Strategy is to "wait for the invitation". Projectors are designed to guide the energy of the Energy Types (Generators and Manifestors) — they are not here to be involved in doing the work themselves. Often the NotSelf comes in with Projectors inviting others or accepting an invitation whether it's appropriate (being recognised for their guidance) or not.

Invitations do not have to be verbal, the right look can be an invitation. Yes, it would be great if Projectors received a formal invitation, but in the density of the NotSelf world people don't know what a Projector is and so often they are expected to work and plod on as they are treated like Generators.

Wait to be recognized truly by those who feel drawn to your probing aura. As described above, those around you will feel your aura. Allow it to make contact and see who comes towards you and invites contact and communication. In short, let your aura do the talking!

If you don't like their vibe you don't have to tolerate them. That's the beauty of invitation. You can always decline it. Wait to see if they acknowledge you and see you clearly and if they comment on the traits you have in you.

For instance, you may have a sharp analytical mind or warm-heartedness or an amazingly accurate intuition and so on. If they recognize your traits then they will listen to what you say to them. Then you may have met someone who could be good for you and you for them. It's important to clearly evaluate the nature and boundaries of any invitation that comes your way, rather than try to live up to the expectations of others for little or no reward.

You are designed to shine once recognized and you can light up a room with your brilliance once you have waited for the correct others to come to you. Trying to manifest recognition will always backfire on you.

Waiting for the correct invitation that brings success to those who issued the invitation and a LIFE for the Projector is worth waiting for.

Reflector Strategy: The Reflector Design, which has no defined Centers has the Strategy of "Waiting out a full Lunar Cycle" (about 28 days).

Reflectors have a sort of "moving Design" as the Gates in their Design are activated by the Moon which moves into Gates for between eight and twelve hours at a time. So they can experience life through a Generator, Projector or Manifestor Channel periodically in the same order every month.

The waiting for a full lunar cycle enables each part of them, that has Gates in the Open Centers, to be part of the decision-making process. It is only after the Moon Cycles through the whole month that this is possible.

You can literally experience being any of the other Types at certain days in the month. Your existential question should not be "Who am I" but "Who am I today?"

A skilled Human Design analyst can create a table showing you your regular Moon pattern and the corresponding Channel Life Forces that will be activated in your chart and in your experience regularly every month. It can be a great help, when you are activated to be a Generator, to know ahead of time, using your calendar, when you will have the energy to get work done. You can know when you will be defined as a Projector and are ready to guide those who invite you and when you have the energy to manifest something new as a Manifestor.

Helpful though this can be, it is only part of the story. When there is an important decision to be made, such as "Where do I live?" "Which job shall I do?" and "Should I go into a relationship with this person?" Your strategy is to wait at least a full cycle of the Moon, which is 28.5 days. In so doing, you get to 'check-in' to the decision during all the different Type changes you experience throughout the month and so can experience yourself as a totality of them all. Think about it. Would you make a life-changing lifestyle choice in one day? Most would not. Yet for you as a Reflector, who experiences time at a much slower speed than most, a month is like a day to you. For this reason, many Reflectors say they often need several months to really feel confident about any major decision they are to make.
