Manifesting Generators: Nothing Moves Fast Enough for Them
There’s a good chance you either ARE one or have a RELATIONSHIP WITH a Manifesting Generator somewhere in your life–they are approximately 33% of the world’s population. Like Generators, they have sustainable energy and constitute a significant part of the world’s work force.
While they share many characteristics with Generators, and some practitioners refer to the two as one Type, here we will look specifically at only the pure Manifesting Generator (your Human Design chart will show “Manifesting Generator” as your Type).
Manifesting Generators have two primary focuses in life: work and family/mating, so they are usually immersed in relationships all their lives.
Unlike the Generator:
- Manifesting Generators have a Motor Center to the Throat so can more easily manifest ideas into action, though like the Generator they do need to check in with their Sacral Response before taking action.
- Manifesting Generators are here to find fastest way through things and may skip steps while getting things “done.” They may need to go back and fix what they skipped if it was important.
- Manifesting Generators are the busiest Type and like to have multiple balls in the air.
- Nothing seems to move fast enough for many Manifesting Generators.
- The authentic energy of Manifesting Generators may be VERY intense; they are often dynamic and manifest projects and outcomes with a productive burst of energy that keeps on going. They eventually run out of steam, but watch out once they’ve recharged themselves!
They are born to “respond” to everything around them, which they do quite naturally. But often those responses happen so fast that the Manifesting Generator is not consciously aware of them.
Human Design shows Manifesting Generators that they have an amazing internal guidance system—their Sacral Energy Center. It is the red square on the Chart, and only Generators and Manifesting Generators have it. All other Types have a white (“Open”) Sacral Center. This guidance system helps them in all decisions, especially their relationships.

Human Design also helps you understand the other people around you and the nature of YOUR relationship with them.
This makes possible the achievement of supportive, fulfilling,
and constructive relationships in every area of your life.
And in every relationship in your life!
Wouldn’t THAT be something!
This series of articles about “Human Design TYPES in Relationships” will help you move forward along this most noble and worthy path.
Today’s article explores how the MANIFESTING GENERATOR TYPE interacts with OTHER TYPES.
Quick Refresher on Human Design TYPES
There are five TYPES of people in Human Design. Type is determined by which Energy Centers (geometrical shapes on your Human Design Chart) are colored in and how they are connected to each other. In other words, your Type reflects your personal energy configuration. Type is usually indicated in writing on a Chart.
Each TYPE has a Role to play in life and has a particular decision-making and action-taking Strategy that is the best and most correct way for that TYPE to operate in life.
Here is a very brief description of the TYPES and their Roles and Strategies:
Manifestor – approximately 8% of the population
Role: to initiate action from ideas
Strategy: inform everyone in your “impact field” before you take action

Generator – approximately 37% of the population
Role: to find the right work and the right partner in life
Strategy: wait to respond with your Sacral energy before you take action
Click here for my article about Generators in Relationships
Manifesting Generator – approximately 33% of the population
Role: to find the right work and the right partner in life (and to find the fastest way to do things)
Strategy: wait to respond with your Sacral energy then inform everyone in your “impact field” before you take action
Click here for my article about Manifesting Generators in Relationships
Projector – approximately 21% of the population
Role: to manage, guide and direct the energies of others
Strategy: wait to be invited into life’s big decisions (love, marriage, career, where you live), and wait to be asked or recognized before sharing your wisdom
Click here for my article about Projectors in Relationships
Reflector – less than 1% of the population
Role: to reflect the health of our communities back to us
Strategy: wait 29 days (full lunar cycle) for clarity before you take action

The MANIFESTING GENERATOR in Relationships
Manifesting Generators who use their inherent energy correctly and follow the inner guidance of their Sacral response are a dynamic and powerful force that benefits the world… and are magnificent to watch in action!
When their Sacral response had guided them to the “right” work for them, they have nearly inexhaustible energy to do that work and get it done FAST!
Because of their sustainable work force and life force energy, they tend to be steady partners in relationships although their specific personality characteristics will be affected by the many other energies in their Human Design Chart.
There are times, though, that you may feel left out of the Manifesting Generator’s world.
This is because:
– They are in their creative “groove” and don’t like to be interrupted
– They don’t “need” other people the way some Types do
– They like to get things done… FAST
– They have sustainable energy… they keep going and going and going
– They may forget to inform the people around them of their actions BEFORE taking them.
They are energizer bunnies who can hold down a job, raise a family, get involved in the PTA or other activities, maybe do volunteer work, stay physically active, and pursue various interests. Not all Manifesting Generators do all of these things… but they could!
Some famous Manifesting Generators are: Frederic Chopin, Marie Curie, Hillary Clinton, Clint Eastwood, Sigmund Freud, Mahatma Gandhi, Steffi Graf, Marie Antoinette, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimi Hendrix, Pope John Paul II, Janis Joplin, Friedrich Nietzsche, Richard Nixon, Yoko Ono, Prince, Jacqueline Onassis, Martin Luther King, Vincent Van Gogh.
If You ARE a MANIFESTING GENERATOR . . .
Your brain will often work hard to figure out the right answers for you, but that is NOT where YOU want to be making your decisions and choices. That’s what your Sacral responses are for.
If you’re not waiting for life to “come to you” and then responding to it (so you know if you should pursue that thing or not), then you won’t know what is truly “right” for you to apply your considerable energy and competence to.
It’s likely that you’ve been rushing off in a lot of scattered directions until now, without waiting to respond. Problem is… that’s just not correct for you. Hence, many “wrong” directions, accompanied by frustration, anger, and impatience.
Sadly, closest relationships often bear the brunt of those reactions. When you wait for and follow your inner guidance, you’ll have less frustration spilling over onto others. And recognizing that the frustration and anger you feel is just energy can also help you minimize its impact on others.
However, frustration IS part of your personal learning curve, so you won’t be avoiding it entirely. It takes courage to wait for, trust, and follow your Sacral Response… but everything in your life (including relationships) will benefit when you do.
You’ll be more effective in your relationships when you work at being as respectful of others as you can, watch out for power struggles, and learn to bend a little. Also, remember to INFORM those who will be impacted by your actions BEFORE you take those actions.
Don’t worry about skipping steps, moving fast, and multi-tasking… you are designed for these! Don’t let anyone try to slow you down.
You also need to be active enough during your day to be physically tired when you go to bed. It’s as if you wake up each morning with a full tank of gas, and you need to use it all before you sleep. Then you wake up with a new full tank the next day and do it all again. If you’re not sleeping well, try getting more physical activity. This is especially true for Manifesting Generator children, many of whom are incorrectly diagnosed with ADD or ADHD.
If You LOVE a MANIFESTING GENERATOR . . .
If you are not a Manifesting Generator but are in a relationship with one, follow these guidelines:
-Accept that they move fast, fast, fast, and may leave you behind at times. Don’t try to keep up–you will wear down and burn out. Once this energy difference in your relationship is truly understood and respected, you’ll both be happier. Most of all, enjoy the ride!
-Understand that it is correct for them to wait for their inner guidance before they take action.
-Allow the Manifesting Generator the time to wait for things to respond to, and the freedom to honor and follow their responses… even if their responses “appear” to not be logical.
-The most respectful—and helpful—way that you can interact with a Manifesting Generator is to ask them Yes/No questions. This allows them a clear opportunity for their Sacral Center to respond and give them guidance.
–Don’t take their frustration/anger/impatience personally. Recognize that it’s part of their process, and when you support them in being true to their Manifesting Generator nature you’ll help them minimize all of that.

This is such a generously helpful article in understanding myself, especially as a writer – the audience I am writing to: myself! Hahaha. And other manifesting generators – and in relatedness with others. Thank you!
Love it 🙂 I’m a female manifesting generator who just recently met a male manifesting generator… crazy similarities. heh. Have also had very special relationships with fellow MG friends in my past. Truly a dynamic relationship when together! And definitely a power coupling. MGs understand how I work, I understand how they work and we can leave each other to our own devices very well because we know what’s going on, or can get a LOT done together (yeah, watch out). But very importantly it seems that with an MG/MG relationship there needs to be time made specifically for play so that we don’t get too caught up in going-going-going on our own in our work. Even the play can be quite ‘heightened’ and productive, but is still play. 🙂
Great observations, Liz. Thanks for sharing them! Yes, specific time for “play” is usually a very good idea for MGs (even necessary for some).
I’m a 4/6 M/G 20/34 unconscious, R angle cross of rulership. 46/29 and 47/64 defined. Open root, solar, root and splenic. where does a persons voice come from the P crystal or the D crystal or both?
Often my body does not want to do something with someone and my mind also agrees with my body but out of my mouth comes yes!?
Without seeing the whole chart it is difficult to say fully but from what you have shared I would suggest much is from the 29th gate which is the gate of the abysmal and the one that keeps saying yes which is what it is designed to do but it is yes to you which may be no to someone or something else.
I was married to a projector as i am a manifesting generator. He has passed on, but he understood me soooo well and never took my need for freedom nor ways of being personally. He was GREAT and we both got along very well. A 20 year successful marriage! Seemed like the perfect match.
DeeBee, thank you so much for sharing your personal experience, and congratulations on such a successful relationship. I wish you much happiness and fulfillment.
This reading is so accurate, it describes my life to a T. As a MG I have taken so many directions in life, never feeling than any of them was really right for me that I have been left with enormous frustration, while at the same time I have always been quite lucky in my friendships, family and relationships. I just have too many interests, career choices, things calling me left and right and they’re driving me nuts. Really trying hard to find a direction quickly, while if I could really just have it my way, I’d live like a nomadic hermit, moving from place to place and figuring things out as I go. And yes, I have too much energy: 5 hours at the gym are just not enough to deplete it. I’m well into my 30s, feel the drive of the early 20s still. More. 😛
Leila, thank you sharing your MG experiences of life! Re: finding direction quickly, the BEST thing you can do is follow your Sacral/gut responses. They will let you know what is truly correct for you. If you are emotionally defined (Solar Plexus center colored in), be sure to wait for clarity through your emotional wave. Another thing I’ve found helpful is to pay attention to when your internal response is Hell YES, or Hell NO. Those are clear and should be followed. And anything that isn’t a Hell YES is probably a No. So those weak YES responses may be unnecessary distractions. Hope that helps!
I have the same problem as Leila. I just received an “intuitive hit” the other day that I rely on my brain too much and that maybe I should make a practice of tapping into my unconscious for guidance. This will take some practice though because I can’t always know what my body is saying. There are some instances where I knew someone was going to be trouble in my life. I could just feel it and it turned out to be true. But a far as life directions….I just get this excitement and I move. Other times I just want to experiment and try something new so off I go! Other times I feel fear but I don’t want the fear to hold me back from doing something bold and revolutionary (line 5). My creative ideas unfold exponentially into more ideas and projects than I can keep up with, which leaves me frustrated, angry and resentful towards the more solidly successful folks around me. :\
Human Design gives us a way to connect with our guidance….and stop relying on our brain! For some people that will be checking in to what their body says, and for others there is a different way. It all depends on your Type and following the Strategy that’s correct for your Type, and checking in with your Authority. If you’re a Manifesting Generator, your primary Strategy is to use your Sacral Center to respond to yes/no questions. For example, if you ask, “Should I try this?” (or better yet, if someone else can ask you) your Sacral can answer Unh-HUNH for Yes, and UNH-UNH for No. It can take some practice to get connected to your sacral sounds, and a session with a Human Design professional can help with this.
Both my husband and I are manifesting generators and I love that he can keep up with me! We have a very compatible relationship. I didn’t know that having someone understand my need to respond, frustration and have many balls in the air would give me so much peace. I would say the “difficulty” in our relationship is when one person is “on” while the other is waiting to respond, but because we both understand how it works for us individually we are able to give the other person some room to breathe (or be frustrated LOL). So glad I stumbled on human design last year, it’s really helped me a lot!! 😀
Janis,
Thanks for sharing. It is great that you are aware how your design and your husband’s relate to one another. It is refreshing to see someone that understands the need to follow their strategy and allow their significant other to follow theirs. Cindy, Evelyn’s assistant
Thank you, it’s been about a year since my post and it is nice to revisit this site. My husband and I continue to fine tune our joint efforts as manifesting generators – we have enjoyed some “magical” situations. We are still supporting inividual efforts in waiting to respond and frustration as process and it gets easier through time. I love human design!
Hi. I’m a Projector 6/2 and have just had the most interesting experience with a Manifesting Generator. It didn’t work out and ended with a lot of people being left confused and upset. But what I’ve read about MGs doesn’t match up to the MG I know, except for the Energy and that they don’t need people in the same way we do. Nevertheless it would take MG ages to make a decision and they were very Low risk and I’m now really confused about them after reading this article. However the best thing from the connection is that I found HD and that’s the overall blessing for me as a Projector. Because now I can really learn about why my own life has tumbled along like a tumble weed in the past.
Hi Pat,
Thank you for the interesting perspective on your experience with a relationship with a Manifesting Generator. I especially liked how you highlighted that HD has really helped you see your unique energetic profile as a Projector. You would have a totally different strategy than a manifesting generator. You, as a Projector – your strategy is “Waiting to be invited” Your MG friend may have not been following their strategy and not really in tune with their Sacral response. Evelyn often says “Follow your strategy”. So good luck! Warmly, Cindy, Assistant to Evelyn
How does this change for a manifesting generator (3/5 profile) who also has the emotional center and the spleen sector activated? I understand the inner authority is no longer sacral. How to combine all these three centers’ energy?
Hi Lara, You would still use your sacral response questions. You may have to wait out your “Emotional wave” and keep asking the same question to see if the answer changes. But as a Manifesting Generator, your strategy is to “respond” (using your sacral responses to yes/no questions) and remember to inform. Cindy, Assistant to Evelyn. P.S. here is an article that Evelyn wrote on using the Sacral Sound. https://www.humandesignforsuccess.com/using-sacral-sounds-as-a-powerful-guidance-tool/
Ii have just recently discovered HD. I’m 2/4 MG, right angle. I feel uncomfortable while reading this article. Uncomfortable because it does relate to me i am fustrated as well because it drecribes the things i think i dont have anymore or i have them surpressd/never explored. I tend to think that i carried myself wrong all my life. At least now i have the guts to say it. Dont know how to fix it though. Should i wait for help from the outside?
Suave,
Thank you for your comment and glad you enjoyed Evelyn’s article on Manifesting Generators in Relationships. As you discover more about your Type and learn to follow your strategy – you will find that you are becoming more of your true self. A good article on MG strategy is here: https://www.humandesignforsuccess.com/living-your-not-self-part-2/ You have a wonderful ability to listen to your Sacral in decision making. You are to respond.
Cindy, Assistant to Evelyn Levenson
Hi Suave, I agree with Cindy. Rather than “wait for help from the outside”, wait for positive responses from your Sacral guidance (gut feeling) and pursue those options. You’ve done the first part of your personal transformation, which is becoming aware. Now, love yourself into alignment with your design and take action by following your Sacral.
Reflector 6/2 here. When I first learned about Human Design I did 5 of my oldest most favorite, loyal, & loving friends charts to get their opinions on the accuracy of HD.
It turned out that each and every single one was an MG!
I am trying to figure out why I am subconsciously drawn to the MG energy. Besides the fact that they are all awesome of course!
Kev, Thank you for your comment. It is wonderful that you are looking more into Human Design. As a Reflector, you are very special. You are possibly drawn to the MG energy as it brings energy to your throat and you are heard. Cindy, Assistant to Evelyn Levenson
You say to ask MGs yes or no questions so the sacral can kick in, but arent there emotionally defined MGs as well?
😉
Vita, Thank you for your question. Yes, there are MGs that would be emotional defined. You can still ask them “Yes or No” questions and make sure they are using the sacral response of uh huh or uh uh. If they are emotionally defined you may have to ask them the same question over a period of time to see if they are getting the same answer. Cindy, Assistant to Evelyn
Hi there,
I am a MG 1/3 with incarnation cross of the sphinx.
I know all the ups and downs of beeing an mg.
The frustration and anger when im trying to team up and others move to slow 😳 my mind that can trap me, or idea’s that needs to be carried out straight away. My unconsious defined line is of an archetype, feeling frustrated with powerfull people but Many say thats How I am 😯 my throat that can play up in pain if im frustrated or angry. With my open g- centre and emotional centre ive had a lot problems in my life. I operate best when i’m beeing busy or beeing Creative. I have gate 34.4 and 20.5 consious and 34.5 unconsious. I also have 46.3 – 18.3, 28.3 and 44.3. Some people said im to judgemental or harsh. Which made me feel there’s something wrong with me. Then my unconsious moon 15.5 kicks in and unconsious 7.3 then I retreat from people. It feels they personally attack me. My personality Sun is a 2.1 in an open centre. So my mind often wonders what to do..
Ps I also have gate 25.3 😕
Miranda,
Thank you for your comment. It appears that you are on your way to understanding your Human Design. One thing to remember is your energetic profile is to not take it personally. Evelyn will often mention that “It is not personal” If you remember to follow your strategy, not take it personal and respond to the correct situations. Cindy, Assistant to Evelyn Levenson
Hi Miranda,
I am a MG and my husband is a Generator. So we have tons of energy of course but I end up feeling like I am the one who has to do everything. Not only that but I now realize that I have to train him to ask me ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions because the other day I just blew up at him. We were working to a tight deadline and I was rushing to finish and he kept asking me the same question over and over, holding me up. Well you can imagine the explosion. And the poor guy just sits there like he’s been run over. I feel so bad. Later also, I realized he was right. ugh! My latest question is this: He has collected mostly books over the 35 years we’ve been together. We have 11 bookcases in another building outside our house (besides the ones in the house). I can’t stand it anymore, feel like I’m being buried alive, and must purge all this stuff. Again it’s up to me and I have avoided it for many years, actually just leaving and working outside my home. Now I am retired – look out fireworks! Is it reasonable for me to hire people to come and help me GET RID of his stuff? Do you have any other pointers for this ongoing predicament? Thanks –Kit Cowan
Oops sorry, that note is addressed to Cindy, not Miranda…. moving too fast again…
Hi what is the relationship advice for between two manifesting generators?
Following your Strategy and Authority is the first place to focus on. The Strategy for Manifesting Generators is to follow your Sacral response, and inform other people who will be affected by your actions. You can help your partner by asking yes or no questions so he or she can identify the Sacral response. Here is an example of reminding your partner to inform you. “It helps me when you let me know what you’re planning to do. Are you willing to do that?”
Maria recently wrote this comment:
How do two manifesting generators take any action if they’re both waiting for the other person to initiate?? Does that mean the initiator is always at a disadvantage??
Here’s my response:
Maria, Manifesting Generators don’t need to wait for someone else to start the ball rolling. They need to respond to something in the environment (not necessarily a person), then inform anyone affected by their decision, then take action. They can support each other by asking the other person Yes or No questions, giving each other something to respond to and evoking their sacral response.
My boyfriend has come up as a manifesting generator and there is nothing fast about him. He will take as long as he needs to get things done.
That’s so interesting, Kelly. I’ve met MGs who aren’t super fast, too. There could be other aspects of his chart that slow him down (which isn’t a bad thing), it could be how he was conditioned growing up, or any number of other things influencing his natural speed. Also, make sure his birth data, especially birth time and standard vs. daylight saving time, are accurate.
I am a manifesting generator that has a little of all the types thrown in at different times, and intuition through the spleen. I find that I both initiate and respond? And when I allow my intuition to flow I do things at the right time. If I think about things too much it is not right. I basically live in the moment. Some generators do not understand my energy, and do not understand why I do not plan specifically. I do not think that they realize that they are having a rough time with my energy, it can be over powering. People have come to understand that if they want things done have me tag along. I can create things happening in a matter of hours what takes others weeks to do…
She is right about the energy thing, if I do not get enough physical activity then things to not flow as freely.
Great article helping me advance my understanding of the HDS. I’m a MG with a 2/4 profile on the RAC of tension! I certainly live up to the provocation aspect and my 12 year relationship with a 3/5 Generator on the RAC of consciousness has certainly been a rollercoaster ride. Having just read the ‘definitive guide’ it has confirmed her ‘issues’ and illustrated why we got together and created a new life (4/6 generator on RAC of penetration). Our relationship theme is 8-1 (have some fun) and this is what brought me to your site – trying to understand what it means. I’ve been researching Gene Keys and BAANTU – the latter demonstrating that our compatibility is poor.
Thanks for sharing your situation, Geoff. I am of the belief that ANY relationship can work, with enough understanding, patience and love. HD gives us the specifics about the potential issues in the relationship, and gives us understanding of the solutions too! Having private readings then a relationship reading can help to integrate and synthesize all the details of the charts in ways that simply cannot be gleaned from books and recordings. Your understanding so far puts you way ahead of most of the world. Best of luck to you!
I am new to all of this Human Design stuff, but I have discovered that I am a Projector and my boyfriend of 5 1/2 years is a Manifesting Generator. After reading about both of our Types, I can definitely say it’s spot on!
Since we’ve been together and even before, he’s constantly on the go, multiple projects or trying to start a business. Me, however, I wonder where his energy comes from! That, and I’m naturally inclined toward waiting for things to be presented in some way to me, and he doesn’t really get that.
What I am trying to figure out is how to present this information in a way that won’t sound like I’m “making excuses” since he’s pretty skeptical when it comes to these kinds of things. I know I’m supposed to wait to be invited when it comes to advice or information giving as well, but I’ve also seen that as a Projector, we are meant to be guides to those types on how to use their energy wisely.
More to learn, more to think about!
There are a few things that you can try on your own, without explaining it to him at first. Generator types naturally respond to Yes-No questions. Open-ended and either-or questions can cause their brain to stall, or cause them to “make up” an answer from their mind instead of using their inner compass, the Sacral response. Like Manifestors, Manifesting Generators also like to be informed. His strategy is to respond and inform. You might be able to encourage him to keep you in the loop by informing.
While Projectors should have an invitation to the big decisions in life, their guidance is usually received better if it is asked for. With a Manifesting Generator, you might set things up by saying something like, “I’ve noticed something about…. (informing). Are you open to hearing about it now (yes-no question)?” After some experience, you may be able to say, “I really appreciate it when you let me know what your plans are” or “It feels really good to me when you ask me if I want to… (an invitation).” At some point, he may be open to hearing about where you learned your ninja communications skills!
hm. I am a Manifesting Generator but the way they are described just does not describe me. I dont move fast at all, I am lazy and have low energy. I can do one task all day long, without even moving.
The first thing I’d suggest is to make sure that your chart is correct. A simple switch of AM for PM can make a big difference. If you were born in the US before 1964, there may be time differences due to Daylight Saving Time, as well. Are you burned out? Are you following your Sacral response to guide you? Generators or Manifesting Generators who are not doing activities that are correct for them, will feel disconnected from their energy source. Perhaps you haven’t found the things that will make you feel inspired and eager. If not, follow your Strategy and Authority. Other factors in your chart also may be contributing, so a Human Design Reading might be helpful.
Wow! You just described me to a tee!
I am a Manifesting Generator and hate being interrupted – by noise, talk, telephone… it’s like there’s all this steam in my engine bursting to get out.
I came here as I recently found out what Human Design was. My boyfriend and I are both manifesting generators. I think it’s interesting because he shows a lot of the anger and frustration as I don’t think he’s learned to respond. I think I learned that I need to wait to respond instead of just doing awhile ago and I think this has a lot to do with the way my mom raised me. She’s told me throughout my life to just trust my instincts and I’ve lived by that since my late teens. I do find it interesting that manifesting generators are known for their energy as I don’t typically exude a lot of energy BUT this made me think of areas in my life where I did exude a lot of energy. In college I was involved in everything and always doing something on campus. I LOVED it and never seemed to run out of energy when it came to school. Now that I am in the workforce I find myself not having this same energy at work. This has actually helped me realize that my nature is to have a lot of energy and if I don’t feel I have that energy I need to address where I’m at so I can get it back. Anyways that was a lot of rambling but this article was extremely insightful, thank you!
Hi! I'm a female 3/6 and I had a relationship with a 5/2 male
I felt seen, heard and understood, and I feel like he feels the same way. However, he's so busy with a lot of things lol I understand that he's a busy guy and he understands that I need to "fail and try, try"
Overall, it was a wonderful experience to have, even though we aren't together anymore, we're still good friends 😊 but sometimes I wonder if we'll be back together, later in life?
I'm a MG 2/4 single definition, head/ajna and ego open. My husband is a projector and the 2 kids are projectors. I get VERY FRUSTRATED sometimes. My husband respects my freedom VERY MUCH, however, as a projector he tries to guide my energy/my doings for me to be more effective I guess, but I think I'm a natural and that I have, as you said, an "amazing internal guidance system" so I don't like to be told to do this or that or being questioned if I left a mess on the counter or a lid open, etc because I know I'll be back to it later, AFTER I eat my hot soup (hot diet) FIRST. Sometimes it is hard for me to control the frustration+anger. I understand that's my theme. And yes, I resent they are so INNACTIVE, I know they don't have motors of energy but seriously…the youngest was approached at the beach by a local guide who was offering surfing lessons and he responded, no thank you, I'm on vacation…💦 They have a maid and hardly do any shores unless they are asked for, but zero proactivity, don't like to travel and when they do, they don't want to do anything…last vacation they threw a ball from one bed to the other, that's was all their action they had. I want to start a project and my husband wants me to wait for me to start the new numerology 'cycle' in 2024 but he doesn't stop talking about Human Design, so shouldn't your intuition and inner authority guide you instead of the beginning of a new cycle. FRUSTRATED.
Hi Frustrated. I feel your pain. I would gently suggest that you let your husband know that you are learning to trust your internal Sacral guidance for correct actions and correct timing for you and that you need to follow that. Promise him you’ll ask for his input when you want it, and respectfully ask that he not offer advice/guidance/correction when not asked. (This would be a good thing for him–and your two kids–to master anyway.) If possible, try to do the active things you enjoy and want to try, even if your family doesn’t participate. Even Projector kids can have energy and want to play and explore, but maybe your kids are recovering from the pressures of school and other activities of daily life? Bottom line, do what is correct for you and support them in what is correct for them. I hope that helps.
I'm a MG in a relationship with a projector. So far it been trial by fire. His energy is intense and he's bossy. But he's a gentle soul underneath. He says my energy is "sobering" even though I got a million things happening, both in my head and in the world. He stagnates quite often from being burned out and overwhelmed. I pick up the pieces. I act too quickly and he warns me not to be rash… if I'd only learn to listen. Lol, this "human design" thing is very interesting.
Hi, I am a Manifestor and married to a Manifesting Generator. The one thing I struggle with is feeling accepted that I have less available energy. I love to rest, to take it easy and when my energy burst hits, I need everyone to get out of my lane so to speak, and give me the freedom to go do.
So my theme is rejection. I get rejection when I want to be alone, and when I am slow paced.
I am often rejecting myself, since I grew up with a Generator and was always forced to function like they do. It led to resentment and many verbal fights.
Any suggestion on how I can feel secure, when I rest in bed for the afternoon, without feeling like i am lazy? Because it does feel amazing, when I follow my theme.
It seems there are two tracks for you to pursue. The first is your history and your “self-rejection” for not being able to keep up with the Generator and their expectations. That’s a matter of continuing to deepen your self-awareness, understand how different all the Types are from each other, and forgive yourself and the Generator for all the judgments and “forcing.” It wasn’t their fault… they didn’t know. The second track is your current situation. Hopefully, some explanations of the differences in your energy patterns will help your spouse understand and accept you better. Perhaps explain that you need to trust yourself and your energy, and by doing what feels correct for you (i.e., resting), you’ll be more available when you feel rested and you’ll also be able to do your unique and effective Manifestor energy flow when you’re in your burst. I hope that helps. Patience and self-trust are key.
