The first aspect, energy type, is a fundamental element that defines how a person utilizes and shares their energy in interpersonal interactions. There are five distinct energy types within the Human Design system: manifestos’, generators, projectors, reflectors, and manifesting generators. Each energy type has its own distinctive characteristics and ways of interacting with others, meaning an understanding of your energy type can provide valuable insight into the way you engage with others and handle challenges.

The second key aspect of Human Design is authority, which explains how an individual processes and arrives at decisions. There are seven types of authority within Human Design: emotional, sacral, splenic, ego, self-projected, mental, and lunar. Each type of authority corresponds to a specific energy center within the body and has its unique way of guiding one’s decision-making process. Understanding your authority type can be immensely beneficial in determining how you approach important life decisions and ultimately aid in personal growth and self-awareness.
