What are your thoughts/advice for projectors in human design 👀🌟

I love projectors. 💕

Rest a lot.

Don't speak about something unless someone ask for your advice about it. You guys have very penetrating energy and getting unsolicited advice from you guys can come off as judgmental, but you're suppose to be judgmental, so only do it when invited to do so.

Live your life. Honestly the more you do things by yourself, the more people want to invite you out.

Move around as much as you can.

This is basics for Pure projectors.

A projector has to do things much more slower than others. Time moves fast for the generators while projectors have to create space for them to do some big magic… this is why they feel exhausted all the time. You can’t make yourself do what generators do. Their energy is constantly on go while a projectors isn’t. The more you are aware of your energy flow the better.

5 Truths About Dating & Relationships For Projectors (Human Design)

If you read my previous blog, “What It Means To Be A Projector In Human Design,” then you’re already familiar with the concept of waiting for an invitation.

First of all, do NOT initiate anything. Acting out of fear, loneliness or desperation will repel people. There’s nothing wrong with wanting companionship, but a projector isn’t here to look for love — that’s the job of Manifesting Generators and Pure Generators.

Projectors are here to be FOUND and INVITED into love.

The most aligned relationship for you will not happen if you initiate (only manifestors initiate).

As mentioned in previous emails, projectors have a very penetrative aura. People have to be ready to receive your energy. Trying to cultivate a love relationship without proper recognition and an invite will leave you bitter.

But lucky for you, I have 5 truths that will help you navigate dating and relationships as a projector.

1) Wait for a clear indication you have someone’s attention.

The more formal the invite, the better.

However, sometimes an invite can be as simple as someone asking genuine questions to get to know you better. You’ll know if the questions are genuine. You won’t feel awkward, forced to speak or misunderstood.

Receiving an invite could also look like getting a direct message from the person you’re interested in.

Projectors have to be invited into personal 1–1 spaces.

You can comment and like someone’s post all you want, but if you’re looking for a connection, it is imperative for you to wait for them to message first. From my observation, a projector will feel as though they have no function whenever they’re trying to invite themselves into a space. You have to let other people come to you.

Otherwise, how can you, as a projector, guide an energy type if they don’t even know what they need from you?

Having this perspective is a good reminder for when you’re fascinated with someone and thinking about making a move.

You can wait for the person to speak first, prolong eye contact or ask questions that are specific to you. As long as you feel seen in the conversation and not like you’re bothering them or begging for attention, you may have a solid opportunity in front of you. Practice patience, projector.

Give it time.

2. Male projectors are magnetic enough to attract — not initiate — love.

As a man, society expects you to make the first move.

And I’m telling you not to do that unless you have already been recognized as a possible love interest. I had a guy friend in high school who was a projector but I wasn’t aware of his Human Design until recently. Considering the effect his energy had on everyone around him in such a short amount of time (he was a transfer), it makes a lot of sense now.

He was uniquely himself.

At an urban high school, mostly filled with gang bangers, he stuck out.

Although we wore uniforms, his customized jackets, curly Afro and elevated shoe game helped him stick out. He had an aura of independence. The girls adored him, but most were too scared to approach him.

Me? I made friends with him because I loved how he carried himself as if he didn’t need anyone’s validation or attention.

He was the type of guy to ride his skateboard and bike to school — which was uncommon for black kids back in the day unless you were an ‘outcast’ or alternative in some way. Yet he carried himself well with ease, even when he sat at the lunch tables by himself. He might have been a loner, but he was a popular loner little did he know.

Because he made everything look cool and never went out of his way to be different, it created a magnetizing aura around him.

So if you’re a male projector, don’t lose hope.

Focus on naturally attracting the person you want.

Never initiate a relationship without recognition. If you’re invited into someone’s life as a friend, you are a friend. Do not attempt to escalate the relationship if you were not recognized beyond the role you were invited into.

Truth #3 — Dating apps can be tricky, but they’re especially tricky if you’re a projector.

Dating apps are to be treated like other social media sites.

‘Swipe right’ to let someone know you’re interested, but wait for them to message you first. In general, if you match with someone who has yet to send the first message after multiple hours or days, it’s safe to say that the person isn’t fully interested. Projectors are meant to be seen and recognized — so if you’re not getting that vibe from someone, it’s time to cut your losses.

Be mindful of people who are looking for anybody and people who are looking for you.

You also have to watch out for people who solely seek you out for your attention.

A projector’s attention is powerful. You make people feel seen in ways other people don’t. Keep your boundaries strong so that you can identify when someone is only showing up for themselves.

This means that if you match with someone who only speaks about themselves or they try too hard to impress you without actually taking the time to get to know who you are, that person is not for you.

And don’t be afraid to speak up when something doesn’t interest you (IE.: someone asks you out for a drink but you hate going to the bar/clubs).

Projectors should never “go with the flow” in the early stages of dating unless they have received the proper invite. Aside from authority, you’ll know if an invite is correct if it aligns with your desire. Your dating profile should be an authentic representation of who you are.

Once it’s set up, cultivate patience, wait for the messages to come to you.

Use your authority before making the decision to commit to a conversation or date.

Truth #4 — People who don’t recognize you will never see you.

Recognition is a given if you’re in the right environment and around the right people.

If a projector wants to be invited into a connection as a friend, but the other party sees them as a romantic prospect, the friendship will come with lots of resistance and potential humiliation. If the recognition you want doesn’t align with the invitation, it’s not the right situation for you.

If you’re a projector who was invited into a relationship without proper recognition, it may be your instinct to adjust to your partner’s wants and needs, but that is the worst thing you can do for yourself.

You see, once a projector is invited into a relationship with an energy type, it can be hard to leave.

For example, generators and projectors have a symbiotic relationship. Generators naturally appreciate the attention they get from projectors and projectors enjoy the sacral energy of the generators. Together, they have the perfect balance of guidance and execution.

However, because of the undefined sacral in projectors, it’s hard for them to pin point when enough is enough. Projectors can become wrapped up in the attention they receive (for better or worse) and be energetically run over by the person they’re with.

This is why boundaries are important.

Projectors have to be very selective of the company they keep.

Truth #5 — Treat yourself like you’re worthy of a relationship.

It can be frustrating when you express a desire for love only to be bombarded by “you have to love yourself first” sentiments.

But honestly? A projector has to appreciate themselves and the life they live before seeking anything. Show off how great you are and your energy will attract the recognition and invitations you want.

Give the manifesting generators and pure generators something to respond to.

This means looking your best, feeling your best and taking care of yourself.

A projector doesn’t have to do anything for attention except be themselves. In the same breath, when you’re intentional about the energy you put out, people will project it back to you. If the invite doesn’t come, don’t get caught up in bitterness.

There will always be another invite for the projector.

Projectors have to be patient with life. You’re working with efficient energy. Generators respond to prompts throughout the day but it can take a projector weeks, months — even years — for the right invite. Luckily, once the right invite comes, it’ll be perfect timing and worthwhile.

So play (have fun), rest (take breaks, naps) and let your aura do the leg work for you.

You’re not missing out anyone who hasn’t recognized and invited you into love.

HUMAN DESIGN SERIES

Some quick tips:

Manifesting Generators, you're not meant to feel like a hot mess, you're meant to feel hot. Period. This begins and ends with you feeling lit up within your sacral, moving fast, and feeling wildly safe in the many different things you have going on, without feeling the pressure or need to slow yourself down to make others feel comfortable.

Projectors, you desire to be seen. You also need a lot of rest, especially if you have a 2 line in your profile. Have boundaries about when you're available, the capacity to which you're available, and the times that are truly your time, when you're unavailable to anyone else.

Generators, enough with the "I can't" stories you keep telling yourself. You can and you will.

Majority of the population has an undefined ego/heart center. It is one of the hardest centres to decondition. It is tied to the material world, so it's in your best interest to begin deconditioning this center. Tap into internal self-worth, detach from the validation seeking behaviours, stop doing things for other people because you're trying to please others or you want to be liked, make fewer commitments.

On the flip side, defined egos, please check when you're starting to play dirty because you're being competitive. It's a massive turn off. When you're using your defined heart in its highest frequency, that's when it's a massive turn on.

If you're a 2/4 with an open g-center, you need to audit the people in your life. Whoever is within your inner circle is going to have a massive impact, either positive or negative. If you're around the wrong people, it's unhealthy for you.

Undefined spleens, look after your health & wellbeing. Introduce herbal and naturopathic remedies into your routine.

That's all for today! Drop me a line if you have any questions or want to know more about a specific aspect of human design.

Manifestation according to Human Design

i have a theory that those obsessed with "manifestation" the most are Projectors (although Generators are definitely as well). Lacy Phillips, for example, the "manifestation expert", is a Projector.

Without a motor connected to the throat, the energy is not consistent in the body graph to just "go out and do it" and take action... that's why every other Type besides the Manifestor has a design to wait for life to come to them. And even the Manifestor has to wait for the urge from their inner authority to "manifest" and "do".

Manifestation in Human Design has nothing to do with getting what the mind *thinks* it wants. Manifestation is simply the ability to take action based on what you say. Most people talk a lot about what they want to do, but that doesn't mean it necessarily happens because there isn't the energy to back it up, or to push against life to "make it happen".

What It’s Like Being a Projector

In my last post, I said *stop* - don’t just be a “type.” But now I’m here to tell you: 

If you have any access to Human Design information - You now have to live your type. 

If you have looked up your Design and known that you’re a Projector let me be clear - Being a Projector is a real radical experiment.

A few weeks ago, I went to a MeetUp about why Human Design is something they might want to bring into a company to help it with governance. Someone asked, why this? Why Human Design and not some other type of structural understanding (Spiral Dynamics, Astrology, Enneagram, etc.)?

So I went right to the root of Source:  Human Design matters for the evolution of the structures of contemporary organizations Because the Projector type came about in 1776 - during the French and American revolutions, during the Birth of Democracy. 

To know what does a “Projector” means, we have to unravel the meaning of the word itself. It is not just about “doing projects” or “projecting” in the psychological sense.

To be a projector means, pulling out the images from inside, and placing them on the wall of Plato’s cave in order to reveal the reality that exits beyond all illusions of homogenized reality.

And what do we spend most of our time doing in contemporary day contexts? Looking at images, projected on the wall! 

If your a Projector - understand that our aura type that “projects” itself into the other through the force of the G-Center (The Spiritual Heart). That can feel like a powerful thing! When someone “pierces” into the heart of who you really are! 

Now, other types also might have channels of projection, and do this too, but the Projector type has a unique role to play in that we don’t have any connection to the motor center, that means our energy is not controlled by the want of money, nor sex, nor food.

(Not that we don’t use those things, we might actually be really conditioned by them, and by noticing it, we can better fulfill our role as non-sacral types. It’s a bit transcendent - almost monk-like - in the nature of it’s design.)

.

We are the ones left in charge of the next cycle of the development and evolution of democracy. 

You may hear early in the experiment of the Projector that : “We are not here to work.”

Actually, we are here to work, and I hope most of you Projectors are in a job or role where you feel Success (in terms of *feeling* success - not just some arbitrary monetary or societal value status).

.

It just won’t come in a way that was known in the past - to you, or anyone else. 

A projector might have a 9-5 job, or desk job, but in that job, they shouldn’t be the person tasked with “producing the widgets” so to speak.

They will be directing, guiding, and influencing others on a subtle level. The power behind the thrown.

The one be speaking up during the meeting saying the thing that no one else is ready to say, because you can take it without worry of losing money, power, sex, or status. Seriously! 

We need to remember how this culturally might impact us. Human Design is not something for collectives - it’s for the individual to try out and experiment - for at least 7 years. Why do I say this? I’m sitting here in France in a very *collective* socialist culture - it’s not easy to break out as an individual and go against the crowd. People are not raised to be that way. 

In many ways, that’s great! Many basic needs are met by government, and I’m thankful for that. In another way, it sucks! To stand out as individual or to have drive and desire means leaving the collective and *base level* mentality, that can sometimes operate from a lowest common denominator, and not move into necessary *mutations* needed to advance the structure of society.

.

That’s why I’m not sure how well it would work to “implement” Human Design at a company, unless everyone at your company is willing and able to go and do the experiment, and do the work to recondition for 7 years. (But Wow. How cool would that be if a company could support that.)

.

Let’s say you can’t do that. For now, it can help you notice patterns in your regular work. 

.

I worked at an elementary school with a guy from Colombia. His first day on the job he watched the young, American teachers came in with piles of worksheets. “These kids are gonna be the best and develop and grow and reach all their reading levels!” Not because we care deeply for the students as teachers. No, behind that action it is implied that we will be better than you because we work and plan and toil so much harder.”

.

His reply - ‘Why are we doing all this work and not just drinking a cafe and talking?” 

.

That’s not meant to be seen as a stereotype - that’s how his culture evolved to have community and the value of ‘doing less’ in order to embrace the beauty of doing more! If we ranked things on “happiness” rather than “growth” we can see success means remaining simply happy and free.

.

I don’t know if he was a Projector type, but he very well could have been. A Projector can offer this type insight in a company, and still feel widely productive and successful.

.

If not followed correctly, burn out can be a symptom of a Projector not living correctly by design. I’ll just give you some examples of famous Projectors to get an idea: Kanye West, Freddie Mercury, Taylor Swift, Barack Obama. So only enter into projects “by invitation” in order to keep your cool.

.

The Colombian teacher and I we worked well together - despite not wanting to print out millions of worksheets and make more little generators. We really took the time to focus on the needs of the individual students. That is what the Projector is here to do.

.

And Projectors can learn best from other Projectors (who have lived out their experiment.) So let’s be together in solidarity to support each other’s unique, individual, flourishing. 

.

Projectors don't get swallowed by bitterness, that you miss the opportunity for success.

Fun fact: you can snip a single broken blade off of a projector's centripetal blower and it'll still work without too much vibration. No idea how it got bent like this, but this has saved me like $800 on a new projector.
