The five energy types in Human Design provide the foundation for understanding how people are built to operate, make decisions, and interact with the world around them. These types are Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector. Each type has a distinct energy pattern and a natural way of engaging with life. Manifestors are initiators who spark action and bring new ideas into motion. Generators are the builders, known for their sustainable energy when doing work they enjoy. Manifesting Generators combine both qualities. They move fast, multitask instinctively, and often shift direction. Projectors are here to guide others with focused insight and thrive when recognised for their perspective. Reflectors absorb and mirror the energy around them, giving them a unique ability to sense what’s working or not in any environment. Understanding your type is the first step in working with Human Design. It shows you how to use your energy more naturally, reduce resistance, and recognise when things are out of alignment. Each type has its own strengths, challenges, and pace. Exploring the core traits of all five gives you a clearer picture of your own design and helps you support others more effectively.
