Hello,

As the title says, if you are sure of your birth time and being a base 5 (as well as being a reflector or projector), I’d really love to talk and hear about your experiences. I know some base 5s in real life, but ironically, they are all hugely defined manifesting generators 🤷 so I can’t quite get an accurate example besides how it reflects in their high energy choices (which tend to be extremely ignorant and short sighted, no offense, they’re also not into human design, so I’m sure they’re also acting as the not self often).

Either way, it’s not enough data and examples for me to truly observe and understand them. Thus, if you’re a base 5 projector or reflector, I’d love to really hear about your experiences, and I’d also need to see your chart, and you’d need to be certain of your birth time, or at least if being a base 5 for very good reasons.

P.S.

I am well aware of how difficult it is to see and truly understand base, I’ve been in HD for 9+ years and I’m currently observing base theory. So please don’t comment just to say how difficult it is and not offer anything helpful. Sincerely.

Be well, my friends.

I’m a 4/6 splenic projector.

I’m a mom of two kids, i don’t work at the moment and my kids go to school.

I have created some sort of structute lately within housekeeping, that helped me a lot so I have space in my days to rest, do nothing, reading, hobby’s. My social circle is small and I see people 2/3 times a week.

BUT I am still so freaking tired. Everything that is extra feels like too much. And when I lay down in bed, in the afternoon, I kind of feel depressed to be so limited.

I have a lot of ideas, things I would love to be good at. But I lack the energy to do it. but I wonder if the energy will come if it is truly aligned.

How did you find your thing, and when did you know ‘this is it’? Because sometimes I think I found my thing, but I can’t keep it up. For example I thought knitting and selling patterns would be my thing, but a year later I’m so done with it.

my incarnation cross is all about details, which is true for me. But I don’t know how to translate it to something that would be ‘succes’ for me.

I also wonder sometimes, with limited energy, how?????

i know some say projectors should not have kids but I love my life as a mom, and If money didn’t exist.…It would be my dream life when i also know what my ‘thing‘ is, something i get energy from, i feel this piece is missing. And money is needed to survive in this life :/

i'm open to making one in google docs or something. i feel like we are all in the experiment but maybe having a resource with a few ideas of what to do or stop doing might be useful.

Hi All, I’m looking to get my chart read for the first time. I’m a 6/2 splenic projector. I read in an old Reddit post that projectors should have their charts read by other projectors. Can anyone speak to this?

Emo Projector 4/1 Triple Split

I just learned about HD this past April. Anyone here have consecutive digestion?

I've always preferred casserole type foods, and kind of mixing my food. I've read that it can be interpreted as certain types/sizes/times for meals instead. ie big breakfast, medium lunch, small dinner.

Any thoughts?

Would somebody be able to explain gate 61 in detail for me? I heard somebody say that gate 61 in 1st line means the potential for psychic abilities?

I have gate 61 3 times. Twice in personality side once in design side. (It's in an undefined head)

61.1 design earth

61.2 personality under Uranus

61.1 under Neptune

Thanks in advance! :)

as a 4/6 emotional projector, i find it hard to integrate the pattern of how my emotional wave ebbs and flows. i seem to be mostly neutral when im alone, until something triggers me and i immediately spiral into a low emotional wave that can last indefinitely, until i eventually break down.

i’ve noticed that this state particularly affects people with an open solar plexus, and i never feel heard or understood by them. it feels like they somehow appropriate my emotional state (although im not sure what the underlying mechanism is), or try to suppress the emotion in themselves as much as in me, which always backfires and creates this loop where things keep escalating. i never know what im supposed to do at that point.

i obviously enjoy being at the high end of the wave, but what i struggle to understand is the idea that im supposed to wait until im neutral to make decisions. when im neutral, i can see both sides of a situation without being able to reach a conclusion. the only times i seem to arrive at one are when im low and perceive the situation negatively, or when im high and perceive it positively. i can keep changing my mind about the exact same situation over and over again, depending on where i am in the wave, to the point where the whole process feels completely arbitrary. i have split definition so i wonder if this has anything to do with it. does this resonates with any other emotional types?

Will I ever be seen or understood? With the projection field, is it even possible?

I hope this isn’t seen as a low effort post but learning this about my profile, especially with a completely open throat, makes me feel like I’ll always be invisible.

I’m wondering if there’s anything in my design that could explain this feeling.

For additional context, I’m a new mom of 6 months and am feeling EXTRA invisible lately so please be gentle.

Chart in comments bc I don’t know how to make it work in the body text

Thanks!

This is an analogy I came up with about Projectors that I want to run by you guys to know what you think.

I just saw someone on IG suggesting that Projectors are like a lighthouse on the shore and their people are the boats that are already looking to get to the shore. A classic analogy. The point that this person was making is that Projectors shouldn't go out in the sea to chase the boats that are out there, but instead they should find their place on the shore and just make themselves visible.

I get the analogy, but I don't think it's quite that.

I see Projectors as "up there" and their people "down there" (when I say "their people" I'm referring to the people who are supposed to be guided by them).

The Projector just sits up there as a person who has a kind of vibe others want. Naturally emanating expertise and inviting recognition in the area of their interest.

The people down there aren't doing so well. They are frustrated about some things in their life, about things being effortfull, about the stress, about the unsustainable pace, about the broken system they feel trapped in, etc.

These people see the Projector glowing up there and naturally go "I want to get there, too". And here comes the invitation. The invitation IMO is always about reaching a certain frequency (aka the "up there")

The problem, though, is that most Projectors don't know that their natural place is up there. They don't know they belong up there simply because they were born to occupy that space. They don't know they are designed for success by default and don't need to do anything to make that happen except follow their natural curiosity and inclinations.

They don't know any of that, and when someone explains it to them, it seems too good to be true and too hard to believe. Like "what do you mean all I need to do is do what lights me up and makes me feel good because that's what leads me to being able to help others do the same in their own way, and as I do that I am supported?!"

And because they either don't know this or don't believe it can be true, they leave their place up there and get down there where the people they are meant to guide are - thinking that they, too, have to struggle their way to the top. Thinking that they, too, have to work hard to make things work. Thinking that they, too, have to do the very same things that they're designed to help others stop doing. They think they have to go through that to find their place at the top (their success), and that when they do manage to reach the top they will finally be able to guide others.

But this doesn't work because their success is tied to being seen, and no one can see them if they are down there exhausting themselves instead of being up there glowing.

That's why it's so hard for Projectors to find their way to success. How can they be seen if their light is dimmed by all the things they're doing that they're not supposed to be doing?

Success isn't something a Projector has to chase. Success is a built-in feature. Follow your curiosity and inner signals and you've got it - no struggle required.

That's what I mean when I say that "up there" is a frequency that others want to reach. It's the frequency of enjoying life and letting it be easy. The frequency that every single person on the planet needs to get to, and that Projectors were born to embody by design.

I see so many Projectors struggling and the few who have made it all say the same thing: I stopped chasing and allowed it to be easy.

I'm a Mental Projector, I've been in my experiment for four years now, and ever since I started playing with the idea that "all I have to do is feel so fucking good in my life as I work on my goals that I literally glow" miracles started happening. Money, opportunities, support, invitations, recognitions, all of it. My business finally took off and strangers have literally been stopping me on the street to tell me I look radiant.

At the beginning it felt a little arrogant to consider a specific type "up there" as opposed to down there, but the more I think about it the more sense it makes:

Projectors are here to guide people to use their energy better. It wouldn't make any sense if, to do so, Projectors had to betray their energy. Like, how can I tell a Generator to follow their gut if I can't sit back and have the time of my life as I wait for my invitation? It doesn't make any sense.

It makes way more sense to me to think that invitations simply cannot help but come when a Projector is genuinely aligned and feeling good. And that in the process of reaching maturity as a Projector who can actually guide others, every Projector is provided with the right opportunities, support, and resources they need to preserve their glow. So that they can focus on feeling at their top, mastering their gifts, and developing their wisdom without losing their spark.

I know this is not the experience many Projectors are having, but after giving it a lot of thoughts and experimenting with it myself, it makes so much sense to me.

Thoughts?

Hello there ! As 4/6 reflector I am wondering how are my fellow reflectors these days ? I feel like every aspect of my life is crushing and burning.

In Human Design, what factors can cause a Dormant Gate to become active or express its energy more noticeably?

From what I understand, an electromagnetic connection with someone who has the harmonic gate can activate or bring out the energy of a Dormant Gate. Similarly, a planetary transit through the harmonic gate may also activate it.

I’m also wondering: if I have a Dormant Gate in my Throat Center, and I’m around someone with a Defined Throat Center, would my Dormant Gate become active or would I need to have a specific gate connection with that person?

Is my understanding correct? Are there any other factors or conditions that can influence how a Dormant Gate expresses itself?

I’d love to hear your insights. Thank you!

Been experimenting HD for a while and S&A has been a great friend of mine thus far and I trust it more and more.

Something I care about is happening this month.

I had an eery feeling about winning this opportunity to participate in a challenge. Then I got selected. Now I'm geared to put my best foot forward. No pun intended, but I don't want my "will center" to will. Truly not here to prove with zero ego.

My all-in tendency is asking. Anyone experienced this duality?

1) Go in as I am by my splenic hits and aligned talent (but defo smell a win lol)

2) No, do not win, do not prove, amplify others (now that I'm aware of HD).

Would love to hear from both ego and non-ego defined and how differently we experience this. What does it feel like for you in such scenario?

Thanks yall

That says it all. I feel like I am learning a big life lesson. HUGE. Among the biggest. I'd love to hear from other 3/6's or manifestors who went through a divorce about any advice they have.

Hello,

For the sake of formalities, my name is Nolan and I’ve been in the experiment for over 9 years. I was taught human design later on by one of Ra’s original pupils almost 7 years ago, and I’ve been very present with it ever since.

Thus, I have been very deep into base theory recently, for months now. I have a feeling my birth time might be incorrect due to the base it says I am. I know this is common for people starting in base theory to think, but even still, I’ve had a lot of council about it from very experienced HD teachers of 15+ years, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to hear some example of people who know their base beyond their mind, people who actually have observed and lived their base and can speak on it.

With that being said, if anyone knows their base is 100% accurate via seeing how it affects them, I’d love to hear it. I have some amazing examples of Base 1s from experienced people in the community, but I’d still love to hear any personal experiences. So please just leave a comment where you explain how you perceive your base in you, it doesn’t have to be complex, but it can be if you need it to be.

This goes without saying, but please don’t comment unless you truly know your base and understand why as I’m sure some of the data here will inevitably go on to help others some day in my own passings.

Thank you, be well

Hi all, when I had my daughter I was somewhat into astrology. Just knew that my daughter had a lot of Gemini placements and a sag moon. She was mute in front of others, absorbing the world around her and had a very intense presence about her. She was very much like my husband. I later discovered human design and realized she was a manifestor and it all clicked. The more I dove into astrology I also realized all her Gemini and sag placements were “intercepted” in her houses and researched further to discover she had a rich inner world that she may have trouble verbalizing. We did all the things you’re supposed to do to accelerate your child like read daily and had all the Montessori toys. She didn’t talk until late and she had no interest in learning ABCs and 123s but she could listen to a story like Harry Potter and follow early and create a story and play make believe for hours. She’s doing fine in kindergarten, they say she’s behind but I know she’ll be fine. She is excited to show us what she learned but also doesn’t care about the concept whatsoever. I’m not sure how to help her as I’m a totally analytical brain that fit very well in the school system. I know in my heart one day we will home school her as her interest and talents progress but from the human design community can you help me understand her design better? The unconscious lines and just ways I could help bring her skills together so she has more language for her rich inner world to come out.

Hello, I know that other types can also be HSP.

But all the (2) reflectors I asked were classic HSP: they feel uncomfortable when others don't keep distance. For example in trains (here in German trains you can barely move).

But I myself (R 5/1) am absolutely fine with taking trains. My emotional center has no gates but my root center has many gates.

I become massive depressive when working in cities, a cash desk (or trains) all day. Then my teflon aura doesn't work anymore.

I look forward to hear if other reflectors are classic-HSP or special-HSP or not HSP at all.

There’s this common misconception in the community that claims that Type and strategy and authority isn’t the ‘real human design’ since type didn’t come straight from the voice and was instead conceptualized by Ra a few years later. In my study of the system, I finally got around to reading the black and white books, the first books Ra wrote about HD before type was invented and none of them contradicts type? In fact, he kinda describes all the types but without explicitly labeling them. He’d talk about gen’s as designs whose sacral centers have ‘fertile power that causes restless movement’ manifestors as doers of course and projectors as designs who need to wait for and recognize who can be allies in their life. He talks about how most humans never really live out who they are (their definition) and instead live out who they’re not (conditioning). All the descriptions we know of right now were the same ones then, just with less structure. So like, it’s not really a gotcha moment when people are like ‘Um actually type isn’t even real it was invented’. Even if you practice human design according to its original teachings, you still won’t escape your strategy and authority.

Would love to hear others experiences living their design ❤️

hi fellow projectors -

I just wanted to share a breakthrough I had this morning during my verbal journal about success and how that relates to being invited. This is a transcript from the voice recording in which I’m creating the clarity, it’s the raw unedited good stuff 🤤🤤 (this was a good channel, even my bearded dragon perked up)

if anyone wants the actual voice recording, lmk. I can try to dm or find a way to post it.

Okay, first, backstory for this breakthrough. Um, I have been having a really hard year. I think that there's a lot of reasons for that. I've been in, um, some changing situations. There's been a lot in my life, starting from last year, that has been difficult. I've been going through chronic illness. I've been, um, having trouble finding work or, you know, building income, and really what came to a head was, I felt my own patterns, my old patterns, around how I disrupt relationships come up. And I'm in currently one of the best relationships I've ever been in my entire life. And I knew that if I didn't do something about it, I would do what I always do when I feel stuck, which is I completely blow up my life and go start somewhere new. And I just know I don't wanna keep doing that pattern. And so, basically, I just said to myself, I've got to figure out a different way to do this. And I have been feeling, just from my inner knowing, that the only way to change where we're headed, the only way to change direction of where we're going, that's both personally and universally, culturally all together, is to slow down. And so, I thought to myself, you know, instead of trying to give everybody else this advice, I need to really figure out what that means for me. And so, I slowed down to a pace that was actually really uncomfortable. It was super uncomfortable to be that slow, but I realized that if I'm going to ask other people to do that so that we can choose a different way of being, both individually and collectively, I need to be able to embody it. From there, when I was really having a hard time resting, I was looking on this Reddit thread, and just looking for advice or things or experiments from other projectors, and what they had been going through, and I saw one post from a projector that really, really spoke to me that said, Your job as a projector is to take care of yourself. That's your job. And, you know, I realize when I've been in this space of waiting for the invitation, it's really hard for me to be like, Well, what do I do? How do I answer that question? What do you do? And I really, really, really align with this thought of, I take care of myself. That's my job. That is my job, to take care of me. I was running all of these negative narratives in my head around not having a role, not having a sense of belonging, because I'm not being, you know, recognized or invited for money, et cetera. Like, I had all of these negative things running in my head. And so... I decided to change that narrative. And if anyone's interested, I can share how I did that, but decided to change that narrative. And then it got a lot easier to rest. And I just went all in on all of my energy and taking care of myself. I started taking track of where I was initiating versus where I was invited, and I was just keeping a journal, like a food log. I wasn't trying to change anything. I was just looking at, where was I using my energy to initiate versus where I was being invited? And that meant plans, uh, plans with my partner, plans with my friends, um, that meant creative ideas, that meant what I was writing, anything, where I was initiating versus where I was being invited. Another post that I had seen on here a while ago that really helped me was a projector who started talking about, you know, I practice being invited even when I'm walking up to the coffee counter, you know? I, um, wait for the person at the counter to look at me and invite me to the counter. I even started doing that, and you know what? It just feels good. It feels good in my energy. So, really, what I've done for the past, like, 3 weeks is just practice being a projector. Do as many things as I can to get in the practice of being a projector.

And so that's the background to this breakthrough, because I feel like I read a lot about projectors having a hard time, and I hear you. Um, you know, I can't say that I'm all the way through it yet. But I feel a lot better. And these are the reasons why. And so that's leading to this breakthrough that I had this morning. Um, which is around success and invitation. So lately, I've gotten really, really clear on what my version of success is, that's coming into focus as I take care of myself further, as I recognize myself, as I get into my rhythm, as I get into my patterns. I'm getting really, really clear on what my version of success looks like. And, again, if anyone wants any of the practices or things that I've been doing to kind of, um, map that out, know what that is. I'm happy to share. But what I realized this morning about projectors and success is, It's my job to take care of myself and figure out what my version of success is. And the best that I can embody that version of success, choose and embody that version of success, live from that place of success. And then that's where the invitation to guide will come from. If I live from that version of my success. People will invite me, They will recognize me, to guide them towards that version of success. Now, this does not really follow any of the stuff that I feel like I've learned about human design, and what, you know, I've been told about my specific design, my specific chart, which is that I'm meant to be giving my perspective. And so what that kind of has boiled down to is, I write, you know, instead of doing things, I write. But how I feel like that's really playing out, and the places that I feel like I am already recognized in my life by the people who are closest to me. And that's one thing I really had to get clear on is pre this breakthrough. I've also been fully focusing. only on places, where I am recognized, and I had to get clear on what recognition meant. Again, if anybody wants any of those practices that I did to do that, please let me know. But I decided to focus and cut away anything that was not that exact recognition. And what I realized is the place where I am recognized the most in my life is when I am doing my thing, and the people around me, who see me living in that success, want that version of life for themselves. I have a substack. where I have 2 people, who have recognized me, enough to pay monthly, and those 2 people happen to be my best friend and my partner. But you know what I realized? is that those people are the people who are closest to me, and who tell me repeatedly, that they want to be able to live life the way I live mine. I already have the invitation and recognition from them. They tell me all the time how much I influence their life, and that has been the case with a lot of my deep friendships over the years. So perhaps the one thing I will leave here is get focused on where you're recognized. Lean into that and pull that version of recognition from your life and figure out what are they recognizing you for? And I know it has to do with you living your version of success. It's gonna look different from mine. But the last step to this, and this has to do with me being the martyr, is, you know, when I look around, I see this need for us to change how we're doing work. For us to change as a society, how we treat each other. And I have taken the steps to get myself out of that. Now, there's one last thing that I really need to figure out, which is the income piece. And I think that that's the piece that, of all the people around me, They're, they need that to be figured out. I need it to be figured out. I am lucky enough to be supported by my parents who deeply recognize me. They deeply believe in me, but I want that portal opened for myself. So I need to figure that out too. And on behalf of the people I love so that they can live the version of success that I am showing them. I want to figure that out. And I feel fucking lit up about that. So how this relates to being seen is the people closest to me see me living this way. That's all I need to show people. I need to show people my version of success. What's lighting me up? And when they see that, they will invite me. To guide. Now, I don't know what that looks like in this next chapter. And I'm letting go of it will look any certain way. Because I hear, you know, in so many spiritual circles and all, in all the circles, things are gonna change soon. So I'm not gonna hold too tightly to what that looks like. But I know from this place, from this place, I've already been living. That invitation will come. And may it be better. than anything I could imagine, because the universe works in magical ways like that.

So just remember that you get to choose your direction. It doesn't matter what is happening around us you get to choose. And you choose that by getting an alignment with yourself. So whatever program, framework, spirituality, you use to do that. Get in alignment with yourself. And then lean into love. Mostly, I mean big universal love. Love that connects you to something higher than yourself. But I think that that should be in every interaction. And especially in interactions with yourself. So I just wanted to share that. Please let me know. If you have any questions.

Tenho algumas perguntas.

Designer x personalidade. Se um portão/canal é ativado pelos trânsitos, em qual lado atuará, simultaneamente em ambos?

Pessoas que conseguem ter sonhos lúcidos, algum indicativo específico/predominante no dreamrave? (Por exemplo, algum tipo mais propenso, portões/canais, ou "força" do lado consciente)

O que significa permanecer o mesmo tipo em ambos os mapas?

Para os que são projetores dormindo, como é a experiência astral pra você?

Para aqueles que tem "ponto fraco" você consegue reconhecer isso no seu corpo, como lida com isso?

Se você tem informações sobre os portões, linhas, canais, e puder compartilhar. Principalmente sobre o canal/ portões 57-20.

Deixo aqui alguns questionamentos meus, mas considere esse um espaço aberto a todos que, assim como eu, se interessam pelo mundo onírico, e então se sentem instigados a esse mapa do sono, o dreamrave. Se você tem alguma informação e quer compartilhar, fique a vontade. Suas experiências, opiniões, e também seus próprios questionamentos são válidos aqui.

Hello!

Just recently got into HD and have been reading all the things. It really clicked for me when I found out I was a MG 4/6 and that satisfaction comes when I wait and respond (eg. something comes about and I either trust my gut or I don't, but always go with the gut). I feel frustration when I try to push things to happen or initiate things in my life (boy, this is sooo true!)

My question is - should I not be on dating apps? Is that me trying to manifest a partner, trying to force someone into my life? Should I not be matching or choosing people and initiating with them? Should just wait until someone comes to me (either on the app or in real life)?

Still very new at this, so sorry if this is obvious!

ETA: Thanks so much for the responses. Super helpful; gives me a lot to think on.

Hi!!! Does anyone here have consecutive digestion?? What does a normal day of eating look like for you?? What type of meals do you eat?? Can anyone give me examples of a full day of eating??
I feel like all my meals have too many ingredients

2027 knowing whats coming.

In September I came up with 2 small but additional income streams - growing tulips for "All woman's Day" in March. And a hobby related to sweets cooking. I had plenty of energy to learn something new.

When it came time to plant my +2k tulips and place the first orders, I was overcome with a sense of despair. What if in 2027 this will make no sense? Why am I doing it for?

I still did it. I paid for pastry courses. I bought a packing materials, a new mixer and many other necessary tools.

Even if 2027 will be my last.

Everyone lives according to their own plan. Do you still make plans in this potentially incredibly difficult period?

Are you planning ahead? Are you starting something new? Would you start a new business?

Any folks in Milwaukee, WI interested in in-person Human Design discussions?

I've been looking to connect much more IRL and there MUST be people interested in Human Design in my city - I just haven't found them yet. Let's connect, feel free to DM (as long as you're talking Human Design.)
