Hot Take: Projectors Are Actually Meant to Guide Manifestors
Ok, this may rock the boat of misconceptions a bit ... but it’s TRUE! There is such a tendency to apply a hierarchical structure to the Human Design types and I’m just not having it! I am a generator who is mostly surrounded by projectors and as a “waiting” type myself, I think we need a reframe. I’ve been reading a lot about Manifestor and Projector wounds – this is what happens when their natural energies are in some way “rejected” or “diminished” by others to the point where they stop acting in ways that feel good and are supportive for them.
Projectors and Manifestors
Projectors are the newest energy type and are here to usher in a new way of leadership. The kicker is they need to be invited to give their opinions or advice, otherwise, there’s too much energetic drain on everyone involved. Ra Uru Hu, who happened to be a Manifestor, speaks to how the world as we know it isn’t set up to support Projectors simply because they are a new type of energy. Their aura is absorbing and really wants to seek out information about the people they’re around. They have a natural instinct that tells them when people are in alignment or not and – being quite talented and studious – they provide just the right guidance we all need.
Manifestors are more of the archetypical “leader.” They get downloads and inspiration that directs them to create something new. I love how Vaness Henry describes Manifestors as here to “tear holes in the fabric of reality” so something new can be created. With a focused and protective aura, they shine a deep intense light on whatever they’re giving attention to and anything not in that light path is figuratively “in the dark” to them, they can’t see it. Human Design often describes Manifestors as the Kings and Pharoahs of yester-year who initiated the creation of the monuments and structures we know of today.
But with Projectors now in the mix, tasked with building the structures and monuments of the future, how can we support them?
Manifestors are the only type that is self-driven when it comes to starting things. They initiate and tell others what they’re doing and we all fall in line to help (if that feels correct for us). In my mind this is very Piscean Age leadership — I hold the keys to success, you follow me. Not to get down on Manifestors, that’s 100% correct for you but we’re all victims of a society that only values one person at the top. Why are so many people disappointed or disempowered when they find out they’re not Manifestors? It’s all our social dynamics.
Now, let’s view the Manifestor as the wrecking ball — here to create new structures, rules, realities. They can do this on their own BUT they’re so much wiser in what they choose to tear down when a Projector is guiding them. The Manifestor sees only what’s in front of them while the Projector is in touch with their environment and their impact others. Projectors are like the project managers who come in and talk to all their new employees and ask if they’d like to be led in a new way. It makes us all feel good! Inviting projectors to the table means we can co-create a world that suits all of our needs. Projectors aren’t here to tell Manifestors what to do (please don’t try either) but they’re here to show us all what could be if we opened up our perspective.
Building Together
If you ask me, this is Aquarian leadership and this is how we build a world that works for us all! I volunteer to be the Generator who helps them build this reality 🙋♀️ My gate of correction very much approves of this dynamic.
