The Relationship between Aura, Energy Type, & Strategy in the Human Design System.
In the Human Design System you hear a lot about Energy Type and Strategy.
If you've ever wondered how the Energy Types are determined and in turn how that dermines your Strategy then either keep reading or watch the video above... whatever format works best for your understanding and learning type!
What is Energy Type & How is it Determined
There are 5 different Energy Types in Human Design
- Generator
- Manifesting Generator
- Projector
- Manifestor
- Reflector
Your Energy Type is determined by how the Energy Centers are defined in your Human Design Chart.
Generators & Manifesting Generators
When the Sacral center is defined you automatically know the energy type is a Generator or Manifesting Generator.
The Difference between the two is if the Sacral center is connected to the Throat center, either directly through the 20-34 channel or indirectly by channels passing through another energy center.
In this first chart you have a "pure generator". The Sacral center is defined but not connected to the Throat center.
The difference between a Generator and Manifesting Generator is how the Throat center is defined in the chart. For a Generator the Throat center can be defined or undefined the key is if it connected to one of the motor centers i.e. the Sacral, Solar Plexus, Root, or Heart. If the Throat center is connected to a motor center and the Sacral is Defined then you know you have a Manifesting Generator. If the Throat is defined and only connected to the Ajna, G, or Splenic Center(s) then you're a Generator.
Now, let's get into the Manifesting Generator and look at the difference...
For the Manifesting Generator remember the Throat needs to be connected to a motor center and sacral defined. Here we have the Throat connected to the Solar Plexus (motor center) and the sacral is defined so we have a Manifesting Generator.
The Strategy for both Generators and Manifesting Generators is "to respond" this is because the Sacral Center is a response center. It is designed to respond to the world around it.
Because of this the Aura of the Generator and Manifesting Generators is Open and Enveloping. It needs to respond to the world so it pulls the world into it in order to respond.
Manifestor
When the Sacral center is undefined in a chart you automatically know it's either a Projector, Manifestor, or Reflector.
To determine if the energy type is a Manifestor you need to look again at the throat center. For the Energy Type to be a Manifestor the Throat center needs to be connected to a motor center.
Remember the motor centers are the Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral, and root.
Since this is a Manifestor we know the Sacral cannot be defined so the throat must connect to the Heart, Solar Plexus, or Root center.
In the example here the Throat Center is connected to the Heart center.
The Manifestor Aura is a little more closed off and not influenced so much by the auras of others. This is why their strategy is "to inform" they are designed to pretty much do what they want to do when their inner authority gives the go ahead. So they inform then go off and do they're thing. Their closed off auras a almost a bit of protection so they can do what they feel called to do and pour their energy into.
Projector
Again to determine if the Energy Type is a Projector we look at the Sacral and Throat.
For the Projector the Sacral Center again has to be undefined and the Throat can be defined or undefined. If the Throat is defined it must not be connected to a motor center. So the throat can be connected to the G Center, Spleen, or Ajna. The Aura of the Projector is very penetrating, they can really look in and "see" what would work best for the other. But in order for the other to truly receive the wisdom and guidance from the Projector they need to invite the Projectors energy in first. This is where the strategy of "to be invited" come from.
If the other is not ready for the projector's energy it will not be received and the projector and be left drained and bitter for having used their energy with no one listening to them.
Reflector
Now we come to the reflector... the easiest Energy Type to point out based on the chart because ALL of the energy centers are undefined or white.
The Reflector's Aura takes samples over time of the environment around it and from these samples the Reflector is able to determine what is correct or incorrect for them.
Reflectors operate in a 28 day cycle because the moon is their greatest influence in life. As the Moon moves through the different gates during its orbit around the Earth it will activate different areas in the Reflector's chart.
This is why the Reflector's Strategy is to "flow through the lunar cycle". It takes this cycle for them to sample the energies and how they feel with different definitions created as the moon travels through its own cycle.

When you first looked at your Human Design chart did you have a moment of 😅 what is going on here?
I know, there is A LOT going on in the chart, this is because Human Design is a synthesis of both ancient modalities (Astrology, Hindu Chakra system, Chinese I-Ching, and Kabbalah Tree of Life) and modern sciences (quantum physics, astrophysics, and genetics).
So keep reading and I'll give you a quick break down of where each of the aspects of the Human Design chart mean and where they come from.
Let's start with a visual, when you run your chart on my website it will look something like this...
Astrology
Let's start with the purple and pink columns on each side of the Chart. These relate to astrology and are the placements of the planets in the gates of your body graph. The placement of the planets at the time of your birth matters because it is the neutrino field passing through the planets at the time that imprints your energy dynamics on your (this is where astrophysics comes in!). To understand how that is mapped out I just uploaded a video to YouTube explaining that so you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/3eG0nRR9qXU
Gates
The gates, which are all of those numbers running around both in the columns and energy centers come from the Chinese I-Ching. There are 64 of them total which also corresponds to the 64 codons we have in our DNA structure (hello genetics). Each energy Center houses different gates and they are the different ways that energy center's energy can be expressed.
Energy Centers
The 9 energy centers in the Human Design Chart derive from the 7 energy centers in the Hindu Charka system. In 1781 we had an evolutionary shift and our energy centers evolved from 7 to 9 which ultimately changed how we were designed to operate. Our 7 centered counterparts were designed to listen solely to utter authority, where as we as 9 centered beings are designed to listen solely to our own inner authority to make decisions.
Channels
All of those lines running between the energy centers and connecting the gates to one another. These channels from from the Kabbalah Tree of Life and hold their own energy which is a quantum of the gates on either side of the channel that makes up that channel. This is one of the areas of the chart where quantum physics comes in. When each gates is active on either side of the channel it creates a quantum energy where the energy shifts and that energy is greater than the sum of its parts.
Okay if you've read this far that means you're a total champ and my people for geeking out over Human Design so much.
If this lead you to even more questions don't worry, that happens!
Stay tuned because next week I'm FINALLY launching Vitality by Design my monthly membership where we have a community space to answer ALL of your questions!
Have a great rest of your week, bye for now!
With love,
Mallory
P.S. Whenever you’re ready... here are 3 ways I can help you along your journey:
1. Take the next steps on your deconditioning process by diving into the Energy Centers with my free guide:
"Beginner's Guide to Aligned Energy Centers" is your starting place to understand what each energy center is and if you're operating in a Healthy state or unhealthy state within each center whether its defined for undefined. Get it here!
2. Join "Human Design Education" and connect with others who are on your Human Design journey
It’s my Facebook community where I teach about the different aspects of Human Design. I make this complicated system simple so if you're wanting to learn more but feeling overwhelmed with information, then this is the place for you to be! Join Here
3. Book an "Embrace your Design" session
Feel like you need some help putting all of the different aspects of your Human Design chart together? Booking an "Embrace your Design" session is for you. You'll get a custom reading of your chart from me with the added bonus of being able to ask questions and get the support you need on your Human Design Journey.
Many of my mornings I spend in contemplation. Yesterday I was contemplating how as awareness of Human Design grows what amazing changes this knowledge will bring into the world and how excited I am about what I'm creating and bringing to the table to do my part to facilitate this change. Read to the end because I have a super exciting announcement!
It is my belief that many of the issues we see throughout the world are lower frequency shadow patterns from generations of oppression. Whatever your skin color, ethnicity, religious, non-religious. etc is we have all been oppressed on some level because the vast majority of us have not been raised and honored as our unique selves. I'm on a mission to lift that oppression and encourage everyone to live as themselves and raise their children to do the same!
We are conditioned from the get go.
In my experience understanding my Human Design chart and the charts of my friends and loved ones has helped me to understand them and simply allowed me the accept them as the individual unique human beings that they are.
This is why I feel it is so important for each of us to embrace your Human Design, because you can unlock your full potential and become the best version of yourself. You'll learn how to make decisions based on your inner authority, rather than trying to fit into someone else's expectations or beliefs.
When you can do this for yourself then you can give space and acceptance for other's to embrace their design.
Imagine a world where everyone is encouraged to be themselves – where differences are celebrated, and individuality is recognized as a valuable asset. That's the world that Human Design can help create.
When we stop trying to conform to society's norms and start embracing who we truly are, we can create a more harmonious and interconnected world. We can live in a world where people are happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.
I invite you to explore Human Design and discover how it can change your life and the world around you. Let's start a movement of authenticity and self-discovery.
I'm excited to announce that I'm sooooo close to launching "Vitality by Design" which will be a monthly membership where we dive into all of the different aspects of the Human Design chart so you can not only understand yourself at a deeper level but also those in your life. Not only will there be an even expanding library of resources for you to learn about but you'll also have the chance to ask me questions directly.
Stay tuned for me info!

Human Design is not a quick fix to get you to your highest self. It is a process, it is a journey.
It takes 7 years for you to fully release the conditioing that no longer serves you and strip away the layers that are not you so that you can uncover that which is truly and energetically you.
Unless you were fortunate enough to be raised by caregivers that knew Human Design and were actively in their own Human Design experiment the odds that you were raised according to your design and truly respected as you are, is slim. Now, this is no fault of your caregivers, they simply didn't know. Human Design wasn't a system until 1987 and even after Ra Uru Hu (the founder of Human Design) received this information it took him the next 20 years of his life to get it out into the world.
Now, over 30 years later I think this system is finally getting some traction and maybe the future generations to come will finally be raised according to their design. I know I am doing my very best to honor my children's design and respect them according to how their energy operates.
Since the likely hood of you being raised according to how you are deigned is slim let me explain why it takes a full 7 years (if not more) to decondition.
Human Design works at a cellular and genetic level. The Gates of the the Human Design chart are connected to your DNA and the frequency that you live in those activations will affect the health of your DNA. As we experiment with our Design and surrender to Strategy and Authority this fundamentally changes and heals your cells, bringing them back to their true state and how they were designed to function.
It takes the body about 7 years to fully regenerate all the cells in the body that can be regenerated.
When you first start your Human Design journey you have no proof that it will work. That life can flow with a little more ease. This does not mean hard things don't happen or you don't have to "work" for anything, but it does mean that what is truly correct for you will come to you. You don't have to push, struggle, and exhaust yourself for something that is not in alignment for you any more. You can be the person you came here to be in this lifetime and release what everyone else has told you, you need to be.
But all of this takes time and ultimately surrender to your Strategy and Authority.
I've been in my experiment for 2.5 years and just in this short time I have released so much that used to cause me stress, anxiety, and trying to always prove my worth.
It all start with allowing yourself to release what is not you. In Human Design you are not trying to be someone else, you are really not trying to "improve", you releasing what is not you so the REAL you can shine.
Human Design is the Science of Differentiation. We are each here to be a unique being with a unique path and expression of life. Honor yourself, be uniquely you.
Give yourself patience and grace in the process, because in a world of everything happening so fast, this process takes time and that's okay. There is no rush, everything happens in divine timing.
I am here for you. I am here to help teach you about your own design so you may live the life that is truly correct for you. I am here to support you in whatever way I can during your journey.

Every morning as my coffee is brewing I contemplate what intention I'd like to set for the day. After walking my spiritual path for many years I've come to deeply understand the wisdom in setting intentions.
Not only does diffusing Essential Oils help you to set the tone and vibe for the day, but essential oils also help to clean and purify the air.
The molecules in the oils can go in and distroy all of the nasty stuff lingering as well as take care of smells you really don't want to be smelling.
For me starting my diffuser every morning is a ceremony where I get to set my intention and get that frequency moving through the air in our home.
You manifest your life whether you are thinking and being intentional about it or not. It is important to remember everything starts with intention and we are either aware of and choosing our intentions or just operating in default mode.
So I encourage you to start your day with a diffuser and some amazing oils that will help to bring your intention in your reality.
If you don't already have essential oils and are ready to get started I'm here for you!
I personally use Young Living essential oils because it is the purest brand I have ever used with an intention to grow the best plants and turn them into essential oils for your greatest health, mind, body, and soul!
