Each type is given a characteristic "strategy" for making decisions and engaging with life: the Generator to respond, the Projector to wait for invitation, the Manifestor to inform, the Reflector to wait a lunar cycle. The type is the entry point of a Human Design reading, held to describe a person's basic energetic role, how they are "designed" to operate, and the rest of the chart refines it.Cross-Tradition ConnectionsArticle OnHuman Design Types, Categories Well-attested Source Divinity Atlas Long-Form Articles, First Editiontier 1SourcesDivinity Atlas Long-Form Articles, First Editiontier 1Comments (0)No comments yet.
