Discover Your Energy Type - Projector

May 18, 2023

If you've downloaded your chart and now you're scratching your head wondering what the F to do with the abundance of information. You're in the right place. Your Energy Type is the perfect place to start experimenting and understanding your Human Design.

Your energy type shows your core Energetic role in the collective.

There are Five Human Design energy types. Each has a unique role. And when we allow ourselves to honour that role, we start experiencing less resistance and more flow in life. By understanding and supporting others to honour their unique energetic role, we allow them to do the same. Together we make a cohesive community, thriving both on an individual and a collective level.

OVERVIEW OF THE ENERGY TYPES

MANIFESTOR - The initiator, The spark and the catalyst. 

GENERATOR - The action taker. - The vessels for workforce energy. 

MANIFESTING GENERATOR - A combo of Manifestor and Generator Man Gens have the ability to initiate and have access to sustainable workforce energy.

PROJECTOR - The guide - Correcting energy, supporting the collective in being more efficient.

REFLECTOR - The clarifier - Here to show both individuals and communities if we are living up to our full potential.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Energy Types are not supposed to be reductive; any energy type can have any manner of gifts and attributes. Understanding your energy type simply helps you understand how your aura is designed to interact with the Universe and the collective.

Projector You make up 20% of the population.

The tech specs: You know you're a Projector when you have:

  • Undefined Sacral
  • No Connection between Solar Plexus, Spleen or Ego and throat.
  • Any other combination of connected, defined centres but not Sacral.  

Your Special Sauce:

Projectors - Transform the way the collective creates our reality by sharing knowledge and unique perspectives about how to improve and upgrade our current systems and structures. 

  • Solving problems is your jam, but you're not designed to solve every problem. The ones that come naturally to you are the ones where you will have the greatest impact. 
  • The leaders of modern society, Projectors, are designed to ask and be asked thought-provoking questions in order to stimulate the collective into new perspectives and corrective action that will have a huge positive impact on our future. 

Strategy: Wait to be invited:

Your energetic flow starts when you are recognised and invited to share your insights. This process is an important part of using your energy efficiently AND having the MOST impact. The Strategy of waiting for an invitation is to be applied to major life opportunities. Entering into relationships, business opportunities, living situations, sharing your gifts, anything that requires entering into a long-term relationship with another.

Signature Theme: Success: When you're in flow, you're external reality will be a reflection of the success you've been envisioning. It will come without you having to control resources or micromanage. 

Not-Self: Bitterness: It can be a tough gig when you can see so clearly more upgraded ways of creating if you're not getting the recognition or invitation to share your insights. The bitterness that comes from people ignoring your corrective energy is navigated by sharing only with the people who are ready for your insights. The surefire way to guarantee that is to wait to be acknowledged for your perspective and invited to share it. There are a lot of nuances to this concept, explained further in the "When you're in your power" information.

When You're in your power:

Projector: Your gift to the collective is to guide. Not to physically or energetically carry out every aspect of the creation process.

When you prioritize and commit to loving, seeing, and understanding yourself above all else, you'll find that the right people will send the right invitations your way at the right time. This process is supportive of a positive, energetic flow where you not only see others clearly but you allow yourself and your brilliance to be seen and recognised, ultimately resulting in success in your external reality.

Indulging in learning and allowing yourself to rest are AS IMPORTANT as your corrective insights. Once you find the beautiful balance of Sharing your wisdom and cultivating your knowledge, you'll naturally experience more of your desired success in your outer reality.

Waiting for an invitation is a nuanced process that requires a continuous willingness to stay curious. There are three different types of invitations that are supportive of you sharing your insights.

  • Direct invitations: Straight up being asked to share your opinion, view or insights. A couple of examples of this kind of invitation are being invited to collaborate or to speak on a topic.
  • Perpetual invitations: Ones where you've been asked for your opinion, view or insights in various ways at different times. It's vital to keep a running list of these types of invitations because it will support you when you're feeling motivated to create but are not sure if you're sharing your views in an energetically correct way. An example is if you're asked a question in a podcast interview, you might answer the question on a surface level, but you probably have much more detailed and specific guidance on that question that you could then use later as social media posts, or create a teaching or course around it.
  • Energetic and intuitive invitations: This might sound a bit fluffy, but being curious about this style of invitation will be a breath of fresh air once you get the hang of it. It happens when you notice a gap in information, and you understand that you have the insights that would fill the gap. It might be a pause in the conversation. Maybe an unanswered question in a forum, or perhaps you sense a person or group of people have an energy of openness to being guided. The KEY here is to confirm the invitation. The type of language you might like to experiment with in this type of invitation is "I love the work you're doing, and I actually have a lot of experience with this. Would you like some help?" This style of open communication will take the guesswork out of your energetic and intuitive invitations and will be much easier if you have spent time really doubling down on valuing your own brilliance because that will support you in having the confidence you need to make the confirmation.

You don't have to rush your responses. It can be easy when you start experimenting with this energy to think that you have to respond to an invitation is the moment, but you're correcting energy is more potent when you let yourself sit on it, understand how you can best support the community and then share your insights when it feels aligned to do so. Your Authority is going to have a large part to play in understanding when that timing is.

Common Challenges and Shadow expressions:

  • Trying too hard to be "seen." Your true gift comes from authentic recognition. When you force your ideas and opinions on others, you are essentially leaking and wasting energy. As a Projector, you have an undefined Sacral, which means your workforce energy is not as sustainable as Gen's and Man Gens. It needs to be protected so that when the right invitations come, you have the energy to share your insights and invest time, energy and resources in sharing your gifts sustainably. 

The Solution: There is a significant need for Projectors to truly value their natural gifts. When you are deeply rooted in the value of your insights, you become a bit bloody sassy about whom you're willing to share them with! THIS IS GOOD! You don't need to chase recognition and invitations. You can allow them to come from the right people and opportunities. And that will be a natural by-product of you valuing yourself. 

A practice to support you in doing this is a weekly impact review. Take a look at the invitations that have come in naturally, and notice how your insights have changed the face of "the others" life. It doesn't matter whether it has been large or small; you're an agent for change whose insights support the evolution of both individuals and communities. Bringing evidence of that to the forefront of your mind will support you in understanding the true value of your natural gifts. 

  • Undervaluing your NATURAL abilities and trying to morph in order to satisfy unrealistic or energetically incorrect expectations.

As a Projector, there will be one thing you see more clearly than anything else. It could be teaching children. It could be how to manage money. It could be how to play the piano. Whatever it is, it's important that you nurture and respect that natural gift. Because this is what you're supposed to be using your guiding energy for. NOT EVERYTHING under the sun.

The solution: Double down on developing more expertise in your zone of genius. If you're not clear on what that is, ask the people closest to you or a coach. Often the people around you have a crystal clear view of your unique talents. Ask questions about what they see as your area of expertise, and get curious as to whether you have been undervaluing that. Once you value what comes easily to you, it releases the pressure to try and be an expert in EVERYTHING. And allows you to deflect projections of others who may not be seeing your true value.
