What Human Design Type Are You?

1/27/2020

0 Comments

 


According to Human Design, people fall into five distinct types. Each type has a distinct pattern of defined or undefined energy centers.
The defined centers indicate consistent energy that that person can always draw on.

For example, Manifestors . They are the only type that is pure initiating energy - the only type that can “just Do It!”  They have a defined Throat center so they don’t have to wait to start things up. However, in spite of their ability to initiate things, they  do not have the sustained energy that comes from a defined Sacral.  A regular nine-to-five job exhausts them and can anger the Manifestor.  Most Manifestors do not understand their own energy and their many starts and few finishes can inflict feelings of inadequacy and failure. They make up about 8% of the population.

Then you have the pure Generator.  Pure Generators are just like they sound – unstoppable energy!  They make up about 37% of the population and are the worker-bees of the world.  They are here to master their craft and easily live by the motto “Pick one thing and do it really great!”  This is what my father used to tell me, but as a Reflector, I was completely flummoxed by this idea.  Generator are production power-houses; give them a clear directive and then get out of their way.

Manifesting Generators combine this sustainable go-get-em energy with the just-do-it-right-now energy. Manifesting-Generators have a defined Throat center and comprise about 33 % of the population. These individuals can both start a project and do the work.   T

People without this defined Sacral have energy, but it is less consistent. They need to be around people with the Sacral defined so they can draft their non-stop energy.  They draft it and amplify it, and sometimes work harder than the Generators!  They don't know when enough is enough.  They work until they collapse, and their undefined energy centers can't create more energy. They need a day or two to recover.

Projectors make up about 20% of the population. They are the most misunderstood and challenged of all the types, yet they are also often the most capable leaders and visionaries in their professions.  Their biggest challenge is finding the right team to lead – and waiting to be invited to lead them. They do not have sustainable energy, yet often adopt a “never say die” attitude and burn themselves out.  They do better when they are well supported by teammates with defined Sacral energy.

About 1% of the population are Reflectors.  All their energy centers are open; nothing is sustainable. They are not here to work the nine-to-five job, nor necessarily lead the team or start the business. However, they can absorb and amplify energy, and apply it to be successful in anything they pursue long enough. That's the key.  With all their open centers they are here to sample life an become wise, and as a result are easily tempted to the next new thing to learn and do. They are also some of the nicest people on the planet, very empathetic and intuitive and too easily exploited. Can you say "doormat."

Your Human Design Is Your Owners Manual for Decision-Making

Your Human Design Is Your Owners Manual for Decision-Making

We make decisions constantly. What to buy? Where to live? When to quit that job?  What job to take? When, if, and who to marry?  Egad!  The instant you wake up you make a decision about how you feel and whether to get out of bed or not!

Some decisions are minor, while others will completely change your life.  Yet, without a crystal ball, we cannot see into the future to where that decision will take us.  
When we are born we are not given an “Owners Manual” about how to navigate among the banquette of choices we face each day.
  • But what if there was a way to  reduce the risk of making the wrong choice?
  • What if there was a reliable tool to help you process your options and arrive at a decisions with a high-probability of being correct? 
  • How would your life be different if you could make those important decisions with absolute confidence that it is the correct thing to do?
Human Design can give you that tool.  Each Human Design Type has a unique decision-making strategy and and inner authority they can trust. If you take nothing else away from your chart, that single piece of wisdom can change your life from being a series of experiments that go south or sideways, to a life that builds on itself, and feels in alignment with what brings you the most joy.

Yes, learning to work with your decision-making strategy takes conscious attention at first, but once you understand it and learn to trust is, it will become automatic and you'll be moving more easily into the life you came here to live. Human Design is the closest thing I’ve found to an “Owner’s Manual for Being Human.”

Entropy is a Welcome Adjustment - Light Always Wins -

1/25/2019

 
Light always wins
“The Light will win! It's always more powerful than the dark and now the energies are also in favor of the Light. In fact, there's more Light on Earth now than at any other time. This is why the dark is so visible now. All you have to do to help push this situation toward the Light is to maintain your calm, cool confidence that the Light will win. Let any fear, anxiety or anger sit in the back seat, instead of driving you. Be joyful that the Light will create positive changes for the highest good of all.” - Madeline Gerwick, Business Astrologer.

Entropy states that when a closed system cannot be sustained, it dissolves in some manner. The entropy we are seeing in government and economic systems has been long in coming. Entropy is a physical phenomenon that occurs when closes systems become too complex to function and move into dysfunction. They ultimately collapse either through implosion, explosion, or absolute paralysis.

The good news is that this is a natural phenomenon – and exactly what needs to happen now.  The First Law of the Universe is Order. That means that the vacuum created by the breakdown of systems will be  quickly filled by organic – elegant – and grass roots systems that do function. We are likely to see a return to more community self-support  where neighbors pay attention to each other and meet the needs of their local community or tribe.

On a wider scale we are seeing virtual tribes evolve via the internet and so they too will come to the fore and offer up their solutions.

There are dark forces and light forces at work here, but there are more light forces on the planet now than ever before. That is why the dark forces are so visible.  When we – as individuals – choose to reject fear and instead deal in real time with mindfulness about what needs to be done day to day – to create harmony  - then we keep moving toward the light. This movement is already offsetting the bursts of darkness that attempt to hijack our emotions and suck us into fear. And this Light force is our natural  state – the fear is a programed condition that goes back 14 generations of humans struggling to survive – of famine and diseases, bloodshed and of power struggles. Its all been part of our journey and the next stage of our journey requires that we shift from our fear-based motivations and start consciously choosing to move into harmony with all the life forms on our planet – and with the planet herself.

There is nothing really to fear.  Sure there are discomforts, and we will suffer losses. But The human species and the Earth have been around for a long time and history shows us that even in the face of catastrophic forces – whether man-made or the result of earth changes – humanity triumphs. Humanity is always driven to survive. It has always been so and it will continue to be so.

So forget all the doomsday movies about the apocalypse and abandoning earth – about plagues and chaos and mayhem.  If we need to endure some mayhem, so be it. Our bodies may suffer, our loved ones may suffer, yet ultimately our souls are prepared to lift us and carry us through this phase of adjustment. For it is an adjustment. And when the dust settles, we will have systems in place and expanding that serve more of humanity in a more equitable way. We will still see pockets of fear-based crisis, because the old guard is steeped in anger, hatred and distrust. The Powers that Be are clinging by their toenails to their power, yet they know that their power base of fear is crumbling beneath it.  The movement of Light on the planet is too strong and growing stronger. The internet lets whole countries rise in revolt. It provides a neutral field for real news, which we will identify with the eyes of Harmony. When the media attempts to divide us – create distrust and fear – that is fake news. Fake news attempts to separate us from each other – it attempts to sow anger and fear. That is fake news. When we become conscious we are able to view these broadcasts from the old guard of fear-mongerers  and reject it.

You Volunteered to be here. That is why we are on the planet now. The legion of Light workers have been laying the groundwork for decades. We are massing in ways that amplify the power we bring. We are hearing prayers around the world for healing  for coming together in Harmony. Join the song.

Your Human Design Type Is Your Instruction Manual for Life

What Energy Type Are You?

About 8% of the population are Manifestors. They are the only type that is pure energy and the only type that can “just Do It!”  They don’t have to wait to start things up. However, in spite of their ability to initiate things, they  do not have the sustained energy that comes from a defined Sacral .  A regular nine-to-five job exhausts and can anger the Manifestor.  Most Manifestors do not understand their own energy and their many starts and few finishes can inflict feelings of inadequacy and failure.

Pure Generators are just like they sound – unstoppable energy!  They make up about 37% of the population and are the worker-bees of the world.  They are here to master their craft and easily live by the motto “Pick one thing and do it really great!”  This is what my father used to tell me, but as a Reflector, I was completely flummoxed by this idea.  Generator are production power-houses; give them a clear directive and then get out of their way.

Manifesting-Generators comprise about 33 % of the population and have the sustainable energy of a defined Sacral.  These individuals can both start a project and do the work.  However, their decision-making process  is a combination of “just do it” and waiting for “what does my gut tell me?”

Generators and Manifesting -Generators comprise about 70% of the world’s population.

Projectors make up about 20% of the population. They are the most misunderstood and challenged of all the types, yet they are also often the most capable leaders in their professions.  Their biggest challenge is finding the right team to lead – and waiting to be invited to lead them. They do not have sustainable energy, yet often adopt a “never say die” attitude and burn themselves out.  They do better when they are well supported by teammates with defined Sacral energy.

Only about 1% of the population are Reflector.  They are not here to work the nine-to-five job, nor necessarily lead the team or start the business.  With all their open centers they are here to sample life an become wise. Like the Projector and Manifestor, the Reflector’s energy is inconsistent and unsustainable. Yet they are constantly absorbing and amplifying the energy around them.  Surrounded by defined Sacrals they can be the Energizer Bunny, yet when isolated from an energy source, they may be challenged to make the effort to even get out of bed.

How Your Incarnation Cross Reveals Your Life Purpose

5/20/2017

 
The human design chart has three parts: The body graph, the birth chart and the keynotes.  It is the synthesis of these elements that creates the meaning of your chart.  
The keynotes run vertically on the side of the chart. The larger number is the activated gate associated with each planet and the smaller superscript number is the location of the planet in that gate.  

The right column in black is the conscious or personality column.  People are often aware of these characteristics and may work easily or struggle with them.  The left side of the column is red and is the unconscious or design aspect.  We are often unaware of how these characteristics impact us.  

Combined, these four energies comprise about 70 percent of our personality expression. Basically, these energies reveal  who we are, what we are driven to do, our faults and potential mistakes, and ultimately our destiny or purpose, if we  discover and choose to accept it.

The gate energy in the conscious sun position (top right black number) is the most significant of the four. All the other energies of your chart are expressed through the conscious sun gate energy. It is the major characteristic of your life.

For instance, my conscious sun gate is 44, with the quality of bringing lessons from the past into the present, so that we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.  You see, it is not a job description, but more a description of the role we play in life.

Fear Is Not Interesting... 

1/16/2017

 
What Would You Create in Your Life If You Weren’t Afraid?

I’ve heard this or variations of this question many times.  Sometimes people phrase it, “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
Even this second version is not great. It implies that you are not creating what you want because you are afraid of failing.  But what if you aren't afraid of failing?  

•    What if you're afraid of being successful?  Afraid you’ll have to keep delivering the goods.
•    What if you're afraid of the past repeating itself?  That your bad luck is unavoidable.
•    What if you're afraid that you don't know enough and that you aren't ready yet?  That you need another certification to prove you are good enough.
•    What if you're afraid of the future and the unknown?  Terrified of those terrible crimes your grandmother described while you watched horror movies together.
•    What if you're afraid of failing your obligations and responsibilities?  You give away your time, talent and energy, because other people are more important than you.
•    What if you're afraid that whatever you're trying to do is meaningless? That the world will judge your life's work as worthless.  
•    What if you're afraid you'll never get it "right"?  You dare not expose your heart’s work until it is perfect.

And just to cover a few more bases …  What if you're afraid you're not worthy?  What if you're afraid you're not lovable? What if you're afraid to trust yourself?   What if you're afraid you won't make the right decision?  What if you're afraid of how you'll feel?   What if you're afraid of being powerful or powerless?   What if you're afraid to be real and authentic? What if you’re afraid of being afraid?

Fear is not a simple or singular thing. It is different for each one of us. The roots of your fears may come from real life experiences when you were threatened or hurt.  The origins of my fears might originate from my parents experience of the Great Depression of the 1930s.  Many people fear death, illness, or disability.  Our global collective unconscious seethes with fears related to war, terrorism,  disease, starvation, and nuclear annihilation.  We live with fear around us. All the time.

And if that isn’t enough -- many of us are born with certain fears hardwired into our Human Design. These fears flavor everything we attempt.  They steal our peace, our sleep, our health, and our ability to trust ourselves. Dealing with fear is one lesson all humans must master.

The good news is that your Human Design chart is a very clear picture of those hardwired fears, along with solutions for mastering them.  To see a snapshot of some of your personal boogie men, click here for your Human Design chart.

Seeing Through the Celestial Camera

12/22/2016

 
I am writing a new story. My soul is the author.
Once upon a time I was audacious, nearly fearless, possibly insane, definitely a loose cannon. I was mining a deep well of unprecedented courage, turning my back on old dreams and expectations, and risking everything on an unknown future because I no longer had anything work hanging onto. 
Anger and having nothing to lose can make one either courageous or reckless – or both.
So, my new story is an almost angry destruction of the old stories that I have been telling myself about what I deserve and what I can have.
It terrifies me to think big, yet nothing I have right now is worth the price of not becoming what I came here to be.
I feel like everything that has stopped me in the past is falling away and now I am facing that big project, the one I have put off so long while dealing with everything and everyone else first. To borrow a phrase from a dear and wise friend, my big project is called “Becoming-My-Greater-Yet-To-Be.”
Yes, it feels daunting, yet for the first time in a few decades, I feel as if there are no longer any obstacles or excuses to stop me from taking action. 
Today I decided to start this blog. I decided to ignore my story that it was too complicated, I wasn’t ready, I didn’t know enough, I didn’t have anything to say, people wouldn’t read it, no one would be affected, and I didn’t deserve to be acknowledged. Old stories from past rejections and childhood injuries. 
I suddenly saw myself through the Celestial Camera. My soul observed Leslie’s human ego telling an old story of self-doubt in an effort to protect her from pain. That story was about survival, staying off the radar, being invisible, and not speaking up.
My soul tells Leslie’s protective ego that self-doubt is not interesting. It is no longer necessary to stay invisible. Leslie is not those stories. Leslie is a whole ‘nuther book all together.
So, I’m letting my soul take over. I am here to tell the story of my divine and audacious being. I am here to live large, sing loud, share wisdom, give up my reasons, swallow my pride, and become, as a dear and wise friend describes it, my “Greater-Yet-To-Be.”
While not totally fearless yet, I am willing to be willing to be fearless. I’ll get used to it.

Cycles Within Cycles

12/21/2016

 
Today is the Winter Solstice of 2016. It marks the longest darkness of the year. It is the closure of one cycle and the beginning of the next. With closure comes the release and shedding of attachment.  
Shedding the past became the theme for sharing at my Sangha gathering last night; the experience of allowing things to flow past and through us one last time before they dissolve away. Our group shared feelings of depression and departure, of uneasiness and disinterest, yet also the experience of wonderment and faith.
I don't think all these dark feelings necessarily have any real meaning. I think they are - for the most part - unresolved feelings and worries that are attempting to claim our attention for a last time before dissolving.
Celestially, we are in an intense and massive cycle of dissolution. Around the world systems are falling way so fast it is leaving many of us without a sense of footing. Yet, at the same time, our souls are rejoicing, because this process is also disclosing the lies about our experience as humans.
More and more people are experiencing a practical, concrete spiritual connection. We are gaining a bigger perspective about our role on the planet.
Yes, this falling way of dysfunctional attitudes and systems is on a large scale, but that does not make our personal feelings and thoughts petty or unimportant.  When we feel our feelings, we add to the collective consciousness and wisdom of the planet. This collective wisdom becomes our guide as we move into the next phase in our evolution. This collective wisdom becomes an archive of “been there, done that, don’t want to do it again.”
Fear is on the way out.  The values of optimism and cooperation are expanding. People are tapping into this growing collective consciousness and are making choices based on what feels good, what feels right, instead of what scares the hell out of them.
Sure, I am scared of what is before me. All my fears and memories of what was painful or had gone wrong in the past want to swarm me. It seems that I have become more frightened of repeating that old story than I am frightened of the unknown. 
But my heart is sore from being afraid.  My soul is tired of waiting. My ego is bored by my history.  And fear is no longer interesting.
So, I am going to write a new story about feeling good and expressing joy and hope.

Starting The Journey of a Life Time

10/14/2015

 
I learned about Human Design from a compassionate friend, who knew I struggled with putting other people's needs before my own. He had been studying Human Design for a few years and offered to do my chart, hoping it would give me some insights. Boy did it ever.
I learned that I am a rare Reflector - wide open to and buffeted by the energy around me. This single insight  helped me understand why I so easily succumbed to enthusiastic sales people, why I could be elated one moment and despairing the next (and no, it wasn't a chemical imbalance!) 
As I began learning about my Human Design and how it has manifested in so many ways - in positive and negative ways - I felt profound relief! It seemed a massive burden was lifted from my shoulders. I suddenly recognized that the empathy and compassion that seemed to be my downfall, was actually my greatest strength. My Design revealed ways my gifts could be directed that brought me satisfaction, rather than disappointment.  what a gift! 
This began my journey and the more I learn the more I am amazed at the accuracy and insights offered by the science of Human Design.  Understanding this system and how it applies in my life and the lives of others is truly the journey of a lifetime.
I look forward to sharing this science with others.
