Projectors are here to guide others. They can see beyond the veil and uncover more efficient and expansive ways of doing things.

Human Design Projectors

If you’re a Projector, you make up approximately 21% of the population. You have a penetrative aura and the ability to call forward the higher potential in people and projects.

To ensure that you’re fully tapping into your innate power, here are 7 success keys for Human Design Projectors.

Understand What it Truly Means to Wait for the Invitation

The wait-for-the-invite strategy is often misunderstood by projectors — but it’s key to living in flow and alignment!

As a Projector, your Strategy is to wait for recognition and an invitation before moving forward with collaborative endeavours.

If this feels repressive, you’re not tapping into the power of this strategy.

It’s not about waiting and hoping someone will see your value. It’s about…

Recognizing your own value
Allowing yourself to be seen
Getting into relationships and business with people who see that value

Honour Your Energy

There are 3 core ways to do this:

1 Align Your Work With Your Available Energy

You’re not designed to work long days.

The traditional 8:30 am-5 pm model was designed for sacral energy types (Generators and Manifesting Generators) who have more sustainable energy.

Projectors are designed to step in, find efficiencies and solutions, and then back out for the sacral energy types to take it from there.

As an entrepreneur, who also worked in corporate, I know this can be challenging. And I’m not suggesting you leave your job (if it feels right) just remember to set boundaries, take breaks, and be your own advocate.

2 Be Choosy About The Company You Keep

Because your aura is extremely penetrative, you’ll pick up on other’s energy.

Notice how you feel around those you spend time with and anyone new entering your life.

Do you feel lit up or exhausted when around them?

Do they recognize your brilliance?

Since Projectors thrive off of recognition and invitations, it’s essential that you find your tribe — those who love your gifts, invite you in, and value synergy and reciprocity.

3 Know How To Recharge Your Battery

In today’s world, rest is an essential skill.

And non-sacral types (Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors) are designed to be masters of rest. Own it!

Because your Sacral Center is undefined (meaning it’s not consistently amping up your energy), relaxation can come easier to you.

But you need to ensure you incorporate it into your day with meditation, breathwork, gentle movement, nature walks, etc.

Your energy works powerfully when it’s go-time and is a precious commodity — treat it as such and allow your body lots of recharge time.

Master Your Core Skills

It’s important to zero in on your skills and talents as a projector for several reasons:

Your gift is to provide valuable and impactful guidance, and by mastering a subject or skill, you’ll feel more confident in doing so.
You don’t have consistent, sustainable energy, so you need to use it efficiently. By focusing on your strengths and mastering your skills, you can achieve more with less energy output.
You’re designed to be recognized for your skills and knowledge. When you excel at your core talents, it naturally attracts the attention and invites you need to create abundant success.

Use Bitterness as a Realignment Tool

Befriend your Not-Self theme of bitterness. When you feel bitter, it’s your body’s way of telling you you’re out of alignment.

Perhaps you’re overworked or not being recognized for your contributions at your job.
Perhaps a friend or partner is taking advantage of your kindness and not reciprocating.
Perhaps you’re being inauthentic as a means to attract recognition.

Notice the bitterness and use it to highlight the areas where you need to make changes to live a more successful and fulfilling life.

Allow Yourself to Be Seen

A lot of Projectors have a fear of being seen.

This is likely a result of offering input before being asked — and the backlash that follows.

As a Projector, your aura penetrates another’s and you pick up on subtleties that most others don’t notice. For example, a person’s errors in judgement, emotional patterns, and the ways they can better themselves and their creative projects.

Without following your strategy and waiting for an invite to provide this insight, people may become defensive and uncomfortable.

And this can create the belief that being seen and heard is dangerous.

But there are people out there who want your insight — so badly!! And the only way these people can find you is if you allow yourself to be found.

If you have a business, you can do this with social media and ads.

If you’re working in an office, you can do this by joining office committees and sharing your passion and insights at social gatherings.

If you’re looking for a partner, get on a dating app and tell your friends you’re looking.

The way to succeed as a Projector is to give others the opportunity to recognize you.

Practice Energetic Hygiene

Not kidding around here!

Considering that you play in people’s auras all day, you’re bound to encounter some sticky energy. And if it’s not yours, you don’t want it.

Here are some practices to help you clear your energy field.

Go to Bed Before You’re Tired

If you find yourself feeling particularly energized in the evening, it might be due to your interactions with Generators or Manifesting Generators throughout the day. Absorbing their sacral energy can temporarily boost your own energy levels.

However, this energy is not inherently yours, so you’ll experience a sense of depletion once it dissipates from your system.

Additionally, being exposed to various energy fields throughout the day means you’ll need to give yourself time to clear out these external influences to prepare for restful sleep.

Try heading to bed at least thirty minutes before you start feeling tired.

Here are some self-care night routine ideas.

Also, if your partner’s a Generator or Manifesting Generator, consider occasionally sleeping in separate rooms (if possible). Spending the night away from their sacral energy can enhance the quality of your sleep.

Wishing you so much success, alignment, and love!
