The  5 Types

The 5 Types listed are simply basic commonalities between each different design. You may experience overlap. You may feel that you resonate more with one than what your chart actually says. There are so many different intricacies within your chart that create the unique mosaic of you, it’s important to recognize that everything is relative to how this applies to you.

As you dive deeper into this information, even though the teachings of Human Design can be played off as “science” & “logic,” remember to be flexible in your understanding. Even “Science” can be quite dogmatic within the study of the natural world. You are the ultimate authority when it comes knowing what resonates for you or not. Trust your own inner resonance.

  • Communication is key for you, especially when others will be impacted by your actions. When you INFORM, no one’s feathers get ruffled, and misunderstandings are a thing of the past. 
  • Your Aura is a bright shining spark that others take notice of and look to you for guidance and direction.
  • Your ideal work mode is sprint, then rest, finding a way to leverage your gifts.
  • You’re fast paced, can be highly energetic at times, and desire to make an impact on others, either consciously aware of that or not, and initiate them into action. You are here to get the ball rolling.
  • Sometimes you may think that it’s easier if you just do things all by yourself, only to discover that you do need other people to help you bring your ideas into fruition. 
  • In its purest sense, you mode of operating is very much like the teachings of  “Law of Attraction,” think and speak your desires, and they will manifest.
  • Your actions are non-linear, and multi-taking is actually your natural state of being. Being linear for you is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. 

  • Your strategy is multi-faceted. You have to wait to have an internal gut response to external stimuli (even if you’re an emotional authority). Then you visualize it or actually test it out a bit, and if you decide to move forward, you inform those who will be impacted by your actions.

  • You may feel a bit paradoxical waiting to respond to what the universe delivers to you, rather than act on impulse and idea. Trust me, when you stop initiating from purely thoughts or ideas, and you wait to respond to external clues showing up in your reality to validate and confirm your ideas are supported by the Universe, things will always turn out better.

  • Responding may look like cleaning your messy kitchen or cluttered garage, to responding to a new job opportunity or relationship. It’s about asking for what you want and allowing it to come to you.

  • It’s easy for you to get confused that you need to act like a Manifestor because you do have a channel that connects to the Throat. But you have to remember, your powerful Sacral center changes the game for you. You do best initiating only after you have been given something to respond to.

  • Follow your joy! Try things on and experiment! Each step is perfectly appropriate for your journey. It’s not about the destination, but the experience. 
  • You make the world go round. By waiting to respond to what the universe delivers to you, you will always end up at the right place at the right time.

  • For you, timing is everything. When you have the patience to wait and remain open, that’s when the magic happens, and what you need magnetizes to you.

  • Doing what you love regarding your work, is paramount to your fulfillment.

  • Follow your gut. Go in the direction that lights you up, that draws up your energy and amplifies it within you. If you notice your energy sinking, know that that decision is not right for you. 
  • If you have an Emotional Authority: Waiting a bit more will lead to more satisfaction. Your initial gut response may be correct, but if you wait a bit more, details will be revealed to you over that time and you’ll be more equipped to make the correct decision for you.

  • Ultimately, finding your joy in your work and waiting for the universe to send you something to respond to will always bring you the most satisfaction.
  • You are all about everyone else. You’re always curious and wondering, “who are you? What’s your story? What makes you tick? In what ways can I be of service to you?”

  • You’re the local “free therapist,” the Guide your friends rely on when their lives are in a bit of pickle wondering what to do or what’s next. And you happily oblige the service!

  • It lights you up to be seen and recognized by family, friends, and colleagues. You are most definitely an expert at something! And being invited to share your expertise is your absolutely favorite thing to do. 

  • Ah yes, and your Strategy is all about invitation. And you know all too well exactly how it feels when your not invited and have unintentionally rubbed people the wrong way. 

  • You might be thinking to yourself… “But it’s just my Aura! I don’t mean to be so penetrating to the truth of the matter, it just happens!”

  • You see things about people and systems others don’t see. You cut through the bullsh*t and enlighten others to their highest potential. All the knowledge and wisdom you’ve absorbed comes in handy, and one day you’re inspired to share it with someone who is primed to hear it. 

  • And that is your greatest success. Sharing what you know at exactly the right place at the right time, to guide another along their path to their highest potential. When they take what you say to heart and run with it and light up, it lights you up knowing you were a part of that. 

  • All in all, timing is everything! Know that your time to share will come, and until then, just relax. Keep learning and absorbing. Everything you’re inspired to learn, absorb, and know by heart will be of use to someone someday. 
  • It’s extremely easy for you to morph into the people that surround you, suddenly liking what they like, when the day before you didn’t, and you may wonder what changed.

  • You’re super sensitive to your environment & the people in it. Know and trust that if you start feeling off, that is your clue to make a change.

  • Fluidity, flux, and change define the essence of who you are. Being alone in you’re own energy gives you the opportunity to get clear with your own truth. 

  • When making decisions, it is best if you are given time to wade through your choices, although it’s not always practical to wait the full 28 day moon cycle. 

  • When making life decisions, you need to talk things out with others. You’re not looking for advice, you just need a sounding board to bounce around ideas and hear yourself speak in order to get your own sense of clarity sampling other people’s auras in the process. Be sure your friends and family understand this about you so they know how best to support you. 

  • It is through your relationships you are able to be seen and recognized and make the most impact. You sample everyone’s differences, and are delighted when we ask you what you see and what could be improved.

  • You are like a mirror reflecting the world around you, providing everyone with an insight into how things are going and showing them things about themselves they may not necessarily be aware of on their own. It is important for you to remember that you are your own person.

  • If you are wondering what exactly defines you as a Reflector considering you have no defined centers in your HD chart, it’s specifically your colored in gate activations turned on by each planet (both Design & Personality) where you will discover your consistent energy. Your gate activations are the key to knowing who you are designed to be in this life.
