What Does It Mean To Be A Generator In Human Design?
GENERATOR HUMAN DESIGN TYPE
Generators have powerful and magnetic auras that can create their own energy and momentum. With a defined Sacral energy center, they have consistent access to a regenerative inner life force. Both Generators and Manifesting Generators together make up about 70% of the population and have similar aura mechanics (magnetic) powered by their defined Sacral center.
This creates a steady, energy output when they use their energy in aligned ways. They are doers, builders, and problem solvers who can sustain steady momentum forward.
When Generators are doing what they love, connected to their values, and following their desires, they create more energy and life force within themselves and the world. Energy well spent becomes amplified.
The Generator aura is naturally magnetic drawing others into their energy field which is why they never need to worry about missing out on life. When you follow your curiosity and say yes to the things that fill you with joy, you pull even more opportunity toward you.
Of course people don't always know what brings them the most joy especially if they've never branched out to try new, impractical things.
Generators tend to have a harder time answering open ended prompts because their answers aren't created from the inside out. They find their way based on how the outside world makes them feel and recognizing that inner, subtle response.
By nature, Generators are interconnected which is why staying open and paying attention to how you feel in relation to what's happening around you will help guide the way. Because the Generator Aura naturally pulls in, there's not much force that's required for a satisfying life.
They need not go out searching to find something outside of themselves, but rather honor their response to what is already present and allow that to guide their actions.
Generators : What You Say Yes To
It's important for Generators to feel lit up and satisfied by what they put their energy into by saying YES to things that are energizing and engaging and saying NO to things that are not a yes.
When we think about our yes and nos, It's important to understand that life is a dance of giving and receiving.
It's understandable and often important for healthy relationships that you'll show up for things that don't always feel like a holy hell yes. In the same way, we often don't get excited or feel a burst in energy from taking out the trash or doing the dishes.
There's a maturity that's needed to understanding that sometimes the big Yeses over-ride what might seem like small nos. In this context, a "big Yes" requires a lot of smaller actions that add up to something bigger that matters to you and gives you more energy and vitality.
Your Yes might be having a home that feels clean, supportive, calm, and inspiring. In that context, taking out the trash, while maybe not the most enjoyable thing, is part of your Yes.
What is most important for the Generator is that they are not abandoning their inner authority in a way that drains them. When Generators do things just because they can or “should,” their powerful energy can become depleted.
The amount of and impact of Generator commitments ultimately determine the overall health of the energy system.
Think of the Generator energy system as a boat that when closed and operating as it should can float on water forever. One small (energy) leak here and there might not be a big problem, but if they start to add up or you have a bigger never-ending leak, you can find yourself under water fast.
The more a Generator can understand where they are leaking energy, the more they can call back the full force of their inner power.
Generator energy powerfully affects others around them so honoring their inner authority on big decisions simply cannot be ignored.
Doing something long term only because "it's the right thing to do" will not work for both the Generator or those others in their close circle.
Medicine For Generators
Letting go of and pulling your energy out of what’s most draining and depleting you
Creating strong boundaries based on your values, priorities, and needs that are based on interconnection
Knowing your limits—just because you have energy doesn’t mean you should be doing everything
Notice when you’re trying to force things to happen because you think it’s what you “should” be doing
Moving your body is very important for your physical health and your sleep quality even if it's just a daily walk. Generators have physical energy that can build up in the body if not released.
Use the outside world as a tool to see what ignites and sparks your curiosity and life-force. Lean into interconnectedco-creation with your outer world over hyper-independence.
