In Human Design, your 'Type' is your Aura. It dictates how you exchange energy with the world. Trying to live against your type is like trying to drive a car with the handbrake on.

1. Generators (37%): The Builders

You have a defined Sacral center, giving you sustainable life-force energy. Your strategy is to Respond. Do not initiate; wait for life to come to you, then let your gut say 'uh-huh' or 'un-uh'.

2. Manifesting Generators (33%): The Express Builders

Like Generators, you are here to work and build, but faster. You can skip steps. Your challenge is patience. You must inform before you act to remove resistance.

3. Projectors (20%): The Guides

You don't have sustainable energy for manual labor. You are here to manage and guide the energy of others. Your strategy is to Wait for the Invitation. Advice given without invitation is perceived as bitterness.

4. Manifestors (9%): The Initiators

You are the only type designed to start things. You have a closed, repelling aura that pushes obstacles away. Your strategy is to Inform. Tell people what you are doing so they don't get in your way.

5. Reflectors (1%): The Mirrors

You have no defined centers. You sample the energy of your environment. You are the barometer of your community's health. Your strategy is to Wait a Lunar Cycle (28 days) before making major decisions.
