tool of self-discovery. It is a
Human Design is an incredible
unique System that is is an amalgamation of 5 Ancient Systems;
Astrology, The Chakra System, The I-Ching, The Kabbalah and

Quantum Physics.

I view Human Design as a map of how to live your life as your

truest self that is in alignment with how you were uniquely
created. When embraced fully, it enables you to thrive in your
fullest potential.

Human Design supports you to understand who you

authentically are beneath who you were told to be. It uncovers
the version of you that exists beneath all of the conditioning
that you have unconsciously taken on throughout your life
through your upbringing, the schooling system and society as a
whole.

It empowers you to make aligned decisions, use your energy in

a way that works for you, engage with others in a harmonious
way and alleviate emotional suffering and overcome a lack of
self love. It is your permission slip to be the best version of you.

Your Energetic Blueprint

Before you sink your teeth into this Human Design Guide, you will
need to view your Human Design Chart.

To find your chart you will need the following information: your
date of birth, location of birth and time of birth. If your exact
time of birth is unknown, it is helpful to create multiple charts of
2 hour intervals throughout your day of birth and see which
design resonates most.

Next, visit www.mybodygraph.com and make a free account. Here

you will be able to enter in all of your birth details and access
your Human Design Chart. You will then be presented with an
unusual looking Bodygraph with shapes, lines and colours. But
don't let it confuse or overwhelm you! This guide is here to break
down the key information that you need to get your started on
your journey.

As an independent Initiator, you are here to

can just do it!

Strategy

Your Strategy as a Manifestor is to inform before taking action.

Despite your innate desire to just do things on your terms, your

blissful unawareness of the impact of your actions can have

negative consequences on others. By informing, you soften the
impact of your decision and relieve others from the anxiety of not
knowing what you may do next.

Not-self Theme + Signature

The emotional indicator for when you are out of alignment is
Anger. Anger may arise in you when your choices are challenged

as well as arise in others when you have not told them what you
are going to do. The act of informing helps to minimise Anger and
allow you to get back to doing what you do best independently.
The more you do this, the more you will experience your Signature
state which is Peace. Peace can be found when others know where
they stand with you and you are free to do what you desire in
your own time on your own terms.

Energy Levels
As a Manifestor, you do not have consistent access to life force
energy as you have an Open Sacral Center. This means that you

work best in short bursts and with lots of rest in between. You are
here to get things started, not see them through to the end. You
give other Types something to respond to, so do not be afraid to
ask for their help and delegate.

Projectors 20%
As an Intuitive Guide, you are here to direct the
energy of others. Your role is not fulfilled by

doing but rather by leading and guiding.

Strategy
Your Strategy as a Projector is to wait for the invitation. Your
energy and your wisdom is best received when someone invites you

to into their energetic space. This includes being invited to share

advice, to enter a new relationship or to move to a new home or
country. As a rule of thumb, whenever you are going to take action
that will impact others, it is key to ensure that you have been
invited energetically, physically or verbally.

Not-self Theme + Signature

The emotional indicator for when you are out of alignment is
Bitterness. Bitterness arises when you do not feel seen or

recognised by others. This usually happens when you share

unsolicited advice, speak out of turn or are met with failure from
trying to initiate. For you to experience your signature of Success,
you need to be invited into spaces where you are seen for who you
truly are and your gifts are recognised and valued.

Energy Levels
As a Projector, you do not have consistent access to life force
energy as you have an Open Sacral Center. You are able to get a

lot of work done in short periods of time and work best for around
4 hours per day. You do need to honour when you have done
enough and make rest a priority. As Projectors are the most
conditioned Type, there is a tendency to overwork and operate
from a place of burn out.

Manifesting
Generators 33%
As a Multi-tasking Creatrix, you are here to use your
life force energy to explore all of the creative pursuits
that that are deeply fulfilling and exciting.

Strategy

As a hybrid of a Manifestor and Generator, your Strategy as a

Manifesting Generator is a combination of the two. You are still

required to wait to respond however after you receive the green light
from your Sacral, you can move from response to manifestation very
quickly. This may appear to others as pure initiating energy however
without the act of responding, the initiating would be met with
resistance. It is also recommended to inform others of your plans as
your speed and unpredictability can be unsettling for many.

Not-self Theme + Signature

The emotional indicator for when you are out of alignment is
Frustration and Anger. This is a natural part of life for a Manifesting

Generator and usually arises when you are trying to initiate prior to
responding to the world around you. Anger can appear when things are
not moving fast enough for your liking. Frustration however also
indicates that you are on the brink of a breakthrough. Active multi-
tasking and the permission to quit when something no longer feels
good will will keep you stimulated and increase satisfaction and peace.

Energy Levels
You have a sustainable source of energy to tap into on a daily basis.
When you are able to do a variety of things you love, the more

energised you will become. However, if you don't use your energy you
will soon lose it. Your Sacral energy is there to be utilised, not wasted.
Even if your current work is unfulfilling, an hour of joyful activities can
shift your vibration instantly.

Generators

As a Magnetic Creator, you are here to use your 37%

life force energy to do work that is deeply
satisfying and joyful.

Strategy

Your Strategy as a Generator is wait to respond. You are not here to

initiate but rather respond to the world around you. Your Sacral gut

response will draw you towards what feels good and repel you away
from what doesn't. The waiting however is not a dormant state but in
fact an active one as you are designed to follow what brings you joy.
The more you do so, the more magnetic you will become which in turn
attracts more aligned opportunities for you to respond to.

Not-self Theme + Signature

The emotional indicator for when you are out of alignment is
Frustration. This is a natural part of life for a Generator and usually

arises when you are trying to force things to happen rather than allow.
Frustration however also indicates that you are on the brink of a
breakthrough. It is not the time to quit but rather to take a step back
so that the opportunity to respond again arises. Only then will you
experience your Signature of Satisfaction. The more satisfied you are
with life, the more magnetic you will become.

Energy Levels
You have a sustainable source of energy to tap into on a daily basis.
When you are doing something you love, the more energised you will

become. However, if you don't use your energy you will soon lose it.
Your Sacral energy is there to be utilised, not wasted. Even if your
current work is unfulfilling, an hour of joyful activities can shift your

Reflectors
As The Wise Observer, you are here to act as a 1%
mirror for the health of the collective. Your
sensitivity is to be seen as a gift and valued by
others.

Strategy
Your Strategy as a Reflector is to wait 28 days, a Lunar Cycle to
make big decisions. Your sampling Aura takes in the energy of

others definition and reflects it back to them. Importantly, you see

truth when it is reflected back to you in others. Speaking your
decision making process out loud with a trusted community will
help you to determine what is best for you long term.

Not-self Theme + Signature

The emotional indicator for when you are out of alignment is
Disappointment. You are deeply affected by your environment

and the people that you surround yourself with therefore having a
loving support system that honours and values your uniqueness is
key. You will experience your Signature of Surprise when you are
in awe and wonder at life around you. You will feel empowered
when others ask you for your insights and perspective.

Energy Levels
As a Reflector, you do not have consistent access to life force
energy as you have an Open Sacral Center. Unlike Manifestors

and Projectors, you are not as heavily conditioned due to your

reflective and sampling Aura. You will experience varying energy
levels as you sample the other Types whilst moving through a
Lunar Cycle. It is therefore best to honour your energy levels on a
moment by moment basis and practice non-attachment.

Your
Authority
What is Authority?
Your Authority in Human
Design is the decision
making tool you use to make choices that are most
in alignment for you. It is your secondary
confirmation for what is correct after following your
Strategy.

For some of us, this will look like following our gut,
trusting our intuitive knowing, sleeping on decisions,
speaking our choices out loud or waiting for clarity
over a longer period of time.

Through the lens of Human Design, the mind is not

a center for making decisions but rather is to be
used as a tool. When we stop allowing our mind and
our incessant thoughts to interfere with our decision
making process, we can truly trust in ourselves to
make choices that are right for our path, regardless
of how illogical they may appear to the outside
world.

17
Emotional Authority
Manifestors, Projectors, Generators + Manifesting Generators

If you have Emotional Authority, you are not here to make in the
moment decisions but rather wait for clarity over time. You must
ride out your emotional wave to prevent making decisions from
an emotionally high or low place but rather find neutrality. The
more time and space you put between yourself and the choice,
the more certain you will feel about it. It is important to note
that you will never feel 100% certain about the choices you make
but over time you will be able to define what certainty feels
like.

Top Tip
The phrase 'just sleep on it' was designed for you with Emotional
Authority. If you are feeling pressured into making a decision,
make it clear that you will be in a better mindset once you have
slept and therefore return to the question in the morning.

Exercise
Before making a decision, check in with your emotional wellbeing.
Make note of all of the emotions you feel and mark on a scale
from 1-10; 1 being low / depressive, 5 being neutral and 10 being
super high vibe / ecstatic. Keeping track of your emotional wave
will support you to know when it is best to make correct choices.

Reflection
When have you made an immediate decision and what was the result?
When have you waited on a decision and what was the result?
What does being neutral feel and look like to you?

18
Emotional Authority
Manifestors

If you are a Manifestor with Emotional Authority, you need to wait out
your emotional wave before initiating and informing. Not waiting can

result in impulsive and reactive decision making which will in turn be met
with more resistance from others. After riding out your wave you wish to
take action or you may no longer feel the desire to act. Nonetheless, you
will feel at peace when you take the time before acting impulsively.

Projectors
If you are a Projector with Emotional Authority, you need to take your
time before accepting an invitation. It is important for you to take a day

or two to decide and discuss the options over and over until you feel
certain. If the invitation expires whilst you wait for clarity, it is clear it is
not meant for you. However if the invitation still stands after the waiting
period and it feels correct, you can proceed to accept.

Generators
If you are a Generator with Emotional Authority, you need to take your
time before responding. Despite your initial Sacral response often being

correct, it is important for you to take your time in mulling over all of the
details to ensure nothing has been missed as you may decide against it
thereafter. Your magnetic Aura will undoubtedly draw the opportunity
back to you if it is meant to be so take as long as you need to.

Manifesting Generators
If you are a Manifesting Generator with Emotional Authority, you need to
take your time before responding too. The urge to initiate and take action

will be a lot to override however cultivating patience is key to avoid

frustration and anger. Despite your initial Sacral response often being
correct, it is important for you to take your time and sleep on your
decisions before proceeding as it can change as your wave subsides.

19
Sacral Authority
Generators or Manifesting Generators

If you have Sacral Authority, you are here to make decisions in

the present moment. When an opportunity arises for you to
make a choice, it is important to verbalise your response out

loud. With practice and awareness, you will hear the response
of 'uh-huh' or 'uh-no' when faced with making a decision. If your
response is not instant and you hesitate, it either may not be
the right time to give an answer or an indication that the
question needs to be asked differently.

Top Tip
Ask for others to reframe questions so that they require a 'Yes
or No' response. This will better help you to understand what is
best for you and support you to practice verbalising your Sacral
response.

Exercise
Practice using your Sacral response with everyday tasks. For
example, when you are unsure on what to eat for dinner, look in
the fridge and your cupboards and respond out loud to what you
see. You can ask yourself questions in your mind or ask someone
to help you. Be aware of how your decisions feel in your body too.

Reflection
What does your Sacral response physically feel like in your body?
What does a 'Hell Yes' and a 'Hell No' look and feel like to you?

20
Splenic Authority
Manifestors and Projectors

If you have Splenic Authority you have an inner knowing as to

what or who is correct for you. It is an in the moment response
from within that only whispers once. As it resides in the Spleen,
the center of survival, it is an intuitive nudge that is rooted in the
primal need to keep you safe. It is that feeling you get when you
know not to walk a certain way home or to avoid a particular
person or place. Once the moment has passed, if you do not act
on the decision instantly, the logical mind will try and take over.

Top Tip
When making decisions or tuning into your Spleen, try to do so
in your own Aura away from others. It is important not to allow
the pressure from others steer you away from listening to your
inner knowing, no matter the consequences.

Exercise
Practice being more present and in the moment as much as
possible. Meditation, being in nature or getting into a flow state
can help you to access your inner presence. From here you will be
able to listen to your Splenic nudges more clearly and shut out the
external noise from others and your Mind's incessant chatter.

Reflection
When have you felt an inner knowing that has kept you safe?
When are you overriding your intuition and listening to your Mind?

21
Ego Authority
Manifestors and Projectors

Ego Manifested Authority

Ego Manifested Authority can be found in a very small group of

Manifestors. To make the correct decisions you are to listen to

your heart as to whether something is pulling you towards it or
pushing you away. ⁣You are to speak your desires out loud without
pre-planning or scripting. When you surrender to the truth of your
voice and it's unique song you will be in control of making the best
choices for yourself.

Ego Projected Authority

Ego Projected Authority can be found in a very small group of

Projectors. You are here to wait for the correct invitation and
recognition from others. However, in order to accept the right
invitations you need to ask yourself, 'what is in it for me?' It is a
healthy selfish energy to play with and utilise. If you are not
benefiting from your commitment you will end up drained and
feeling bitter. You will soon find that you either have the energy
to see it through to completion or not.

Top Tip
To keep your Ego / Heart center healthy and functioning
correctly, you are to be committed to delivering what you have
promised to do. You also need a balance between work and rest
therefore taking regular breaks and revisiting the agreement is
key for you to thrive rather than burn out.

22
Projector Authority
Sounding Board

If you have Sounding board Authority you will have no centers

defined below your Throat. You do not have an inner Authority

therefore your decisions are greatly impacted by your environment.

If your environment does not feel good to you, the decisions you
make in that place will not benefit you. It is helpful to use people
you trust as a sounding board to see your decisions reflected back
to you as you speak them out loud. You are not there to seek their
advice but to merely hear your own thoughts.

Self-Projected
If you have Self-Projected Authority you will only have your G
Center and your Throat Center defined. In order for you to make

the correct decisions, you are here to listen to what you say as you
say it. You are to be guided by the choices that feel more in
alignment with who you are and your identity. It is important to
ask yourself how your decision will postively impact your life, bring
more joy and allow for self-expression. Speaking freely to people
you trust can help with this process also.

Top Tip
Allow yourself to speak freely without judgement or preparation.
You can record your voice and listen back to help you with
making correct decisions. Alternatively, video record yourself to
see your expression change and create a set of questions that
you ask which will help you to be firm in the choices you make.

23
Lunar Authority
Reflectors only

As Reflectors have no centers defined in their chart, their

Authority is found in the cycles of the Moon. Every 28 days the
Moon passes through each of the 64 gates and the energy is
activated within the Reflector's chart. This means that over time
and with awareness, Reflectors will begin to see a pattern in how
they change throughout the month and will feel some form of
consistency. By waiting out a Moon cycle in the decision making
process it will ensure that they will make the correct choices.
Furthermore, in order to gain more clarity on what choice is best,
speaking with trusted others throughout the 28 days will help to
clarify their truth. If uncertainty arises at the end of one cycle, it is
best to wait another cycle until a decision can be made.

Top Tip
Journal on how you feel energetically on a day to day basis.
Over time you will be able to see a pattern emerge and your
decision making process will become easier. In time you will
figure out what certainty feels like to you and how you will
intuitively know what decision is best to make. Environment will
hugely impact your decision making process too so ensure that
when you are reflecting on a choice you need to make that you
are doing so in a place that is inspiring and nourishing.
