The Four Aura Types

Aura type is determined by the inter-connectedness between the centers

that are defined (colored) in your chart. There are over 6 billion people on
the planet. Yet similar to humans having four blood groups, there are only
four aura types: Manifestor, Generator (including Manifesting
Generator), Projector and Reflector.
Type is the most important aspect in the Human Design System for it is
through type that a specific strategy is given as a tool for experimentation.
It is through strategy that a person can know how to make correct
decisions in life. It is through strategy that you eliminate resistance and
friction from your life. Your strategy allows you to get in touch at a very
deep level with what is correct for you in any situation.

Strategy
Strategy is determined by our defined energy centers, which show us our
aura type. Strategy is the very simple way to move through life
without resistance. The auras of the Manifestor and Reflector protects
them from the world, but the auras of the Generator/MG and Projector do
not provide protection from anything. Strategy is to be used before we
begin new things with other people.

Generator
The Generator's strategy is to wait to respond. The
Generator's aura pulls life to them and if they listen to
what their sacral energy is responding to, "Uh Huh," or,
"Un uh," yes or no respectively, healthy for me or not,
they will come into the activities and relationships where
their energy will be well spent and actually regenerate
their life force. For a deeply experiential look at AURA
AND THE GENERATOR this link is to a roughly two hour
lecture and discussion from our ongoing Living
Design Training.

Projector
The strategy of the Projector is to wait for the
invitation. Being that Projector's are not sacral
(Generators are) they have no consistent access to
the life force or energy that so much of the planet

takes for granted, they need to be invited into

relationships where there is a potential for the
healthy use of the energy of others, if Projectors try
to force their way in the world they find themselves
falling short without energy. The Projector's ability
to guide energy and see the other needs to be
recognized and invited. For a deeply experiential
look at AURA AND THE PROJECTOR this link is to a
roughly three hour lecture and discussion from
our ongoing Living Design Training.

Manifestor
The strategy of the Manifestor is to inform before they
act. The Manifestor is unique in its aura in that it
repels others, it moves them out of the way as a
protection. The Manifestor is here to do what it is going
to do and is designed to be able to function independent
of whatever else is going on in its world. The Manifestor
benefits from informing people in their lives of what they
are going to do beforehand because they meet with
less resistance. When people feel included in the
Manifestor's decision making they happily assist
and get out of the way. For a deeply experiential look
at AURA AND THE MANIFESTOR this link is to a roughly
two hour lecture and discussion from our ongoing
Living Design Training.

Reflector
The strategy of the Reflector is to wait a full lunar cycle (roughly
29.5 days) while feeling out important decisions. Reflectors are
exceptionally rare and serve a deeply interesting role, they are here
to be judges and seers of the whole. Reflectors reflect their
community, showing pieces here and there in themselves of the
people in the places where they live. Being so changeable and
reflective the only anchor they have in their process, in their ability
to know what is correct for them or not, is to wait out the lunar cycle
which, in it's monthly movement through all the gates in their
chart makes them (as an example) a manifestor for half a day, a
generator for the second half, a reflector that evening and a projector
the next morning and so on through a month. Familiarity with this
individual monthly pattern is so important, feeling out the
decision through each potential aspect of their design brings them

clarity. For a deeply experiential look at AURA AND THE

REFLECTOR this link is to a rough two and a half hour lecture and
discussion from our ongoing Living Design Training.
