Projectors - Exploring Invitation & Money
The energy type of Projector in the Human Design System has a strategy of “wait for the invitation,” but what is the invitation really? First, let’s look at what defines the type of Projector in Human Design.
When we look at the Human Design BodyGraph, there are 9 geometric shapes that each represent a center within the body. The second square up from the bottom in the middle is the Sacral Center. When this motor function is colored in or defined, we know we are looking at a Generator. When it’s white or open, we know we are looking at either a Manifestor, a Projector or a Reflector. All 9 centers open = a Reflector. A center with a motor function defined and connected to the throat = a Manifestor as there is energy, or impact, behind what they say. If none of the above themes apply, we know we are looking at a Projector.
Projectors do not have the consistent energizer bunny generative motor capacity that is expressed through the defined Sacral Center of a Generator. They are not here to be building or generating, their contribution is different.
Where a Generator is here in this life to get to know themselves and their unique response, the Projector is here to get to know the other so that they can guide when recognized and invited. They are here to see the other and be in service to their awakening.
Which other(s) is it correct or healthy for a Projector to see? The Human Design Projector keynote of Success comes through invitation and mutual recognition with the correct other. Since the Projector will be taking in the other’s energy, if that energy does not suit the Projector, they will experience a bitter taste and a state that is the opposite of the sweetness of success.
A Generator uses their energetic capacity to engage with building or generating which then brings them energy (money) in return that feels satisfying and sustains them. So if the Projector is not here to work, where do they get their energy/money?
The energy of the Projector is deeply influenced by the energy of whom they are in aura with. When an invitation is received, the person inviting them is also offering to give the Projector energy/money in exchange for their gift of guidance.
If the energy/money being offered does not align with what the Projector’s unique gifts or doesn’t nourish the Projectors energy resources, including money, it’s most likely not going to bring a taste of Success.
Since invitations aren’t happening all the time and apply mostly to work; where the Projector lives and who they’re in relationship with; you might be wondering, how can Human Design support Projectors in knowing what’s correct to study, to engage their time/energy with etc.
Can Projectors receive invitations from non-humans? Spirit? The land? Animals? Plants? How do I know if I am being invited and if that invitation is correct?
A lot of this is the same; do you feel recognized through the invitation? Is the energy (money) available in a way that feels aligned for you? Are the doors opening and path illuminating or are you meeting resistance?
As always, use Human Design to go to your Inner Authority.
Solar Plexus or Emotional Authority - experiment with waiting. Does it bring more success and ease into your life if you don’t make decisions from a place of nervousness and instead wait for neutrality?
Splenic Authority - what does your intuition say in the now? Is it healthy for you?
Ego-Projected Authority - do you have the will?
Self-Projected Authority - listen to what you say, is it aligned with your self-expression and direction?
Environmental Authority - listen to yourself share over time with people you know and trust in the environments that support your decision making process.
And remember, it’s all an experiment. If you want to try something, but you aren’t sure if there’s been an invitation and you don’t know if it’s correct; fully be with whatever you choose and open space for awareness through reflection. Notice the signposts while you engage. Are you feeling successful? Is it nourishing you and giving you the energy needed to sustain your gifts? Or does it leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth, feeling exhausted?
Enjoy the spaces in-between the invitations to study however it’s correct for you and nourish your energy and gifts. Building this foundation of self-love and acceptance helps to shine your light out for invitations and recognitions to come from the correct other(s). Be patient with the process, love yourSelf.
