Human Design combines astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system, and Kabbalah into a map of your unique energy. It shows how your energy works best, how you make aligned decisions, and how you interact with others.
In this lesson, you will:
- Learn about the five main Energy Types.
- Discover your own Type, Strategy, and Authority.
- Reflect on how following your design changes your life.
Topic 1: What Human Design Reveals
Your Human Design chart (sometimes called a BodyGraph) shows how energy flows through you. At its simplest, focus on:
- Your Type → how your energy naturally works.
- Your Strategy → how you’re designed to interact with the world.
- Your Authority → how you’re designed to make decisions.
The 5 Energy Types:
- Generator – the builders, designed to respond to life.
- Manifesting Generator – fast, multi-tasking, designed to respond & move quickly.
- Projector – guides, designed to wait for recognition and invitations.
- Manifestor – initiators, designed to inform and set things in motion.
- Reflector – mirrors, designed to reflect the health of their community.

Topic 3: Making Meaning
Text:
Once you know your Type, Strategy, and Authority, interpret them simply:
- Type: How my energy works in the world.
- Strategy: How I avoid resistance.
- Authority: How I make decisions I can trust.
👉 Example: “I am a Generator. My Strategy is to wait to respond. My Authority is Sacral, so I trust my gut response. This means I don’t need to chase opportunities, I wait for them to appear and feel into whether they’re right.”
Topic 4: Journaling & Integration
Prompts:
- When I followed my Strategy and Authority, what happened?
- When I ignored them, what kind of friction or resistance showed up?
- How might life feel if I trusted my design more often?
