Let’s Begin With What I Consider the Four “Quick Wins”
Type, Strategy, Authority and Profile
Getting to know these four areas of your chart will give you, in my opinion, what we like to call quick wins in coaching.
These areas give you immediate insight and something to begin to play with - allowing you to explore your Human Design Chart without the overwhelm of feeling you need to learn it all right now - for it to be of use.

Let’s take a look at Types.
-
Manifestors
You are different. You are here to impact, initiate and create change.
Often the most conditioned and wounded of the Types, growing up you may have felt left out, lonely and confused about why.
The biggest gift I learned as a manifestor is that I initiate the energy in all of my relationships, which means deciding ahead of time what I want to have happen, being present in that energy - and then allowing the other person to feel what they feel - and not make it personal.

Generators & Manifesting Generators
Gens and Mani Gens all have one very special, important element - a defined Sacral Center.
This gives you a consistent source of energy to complete those things that light you up.
Your Aura glows and invites the correct people and circumstances into your life when you are responding to things that excite you.
You are the builders of this world. You bring ideas to life. Mani Gens, having a motorized Throat have many of the same qualities as a Manifestor and possess the ability to initiate action, in response.

Projectors
Projectors are the guides, teachers and sages of the world.
Sensitive by nature, if you aren’t being invited to share your wisdom and insight, you may feel wounded by others. Timing and invitation are critical for you.
Being alone, in your world, busy doing things you enjoy, your aura expands and draws others to you.
You are here to show us how it should be done. Wait to be invited rather than cast your pearls before swine.

Reflectors mirror back to us truth. Less than 2% of the population you are a rare, spiritual gift.
III.
Your Authority
Human Design teaches us to reconnect with the wisdom of our body and not let our Mind override our truth.
Instinct and intuition are not logical or rational always - but they are truth
Sacral or Generated Authority - 29%
Only Generators or Manifesting Generators can have this type of Authority because it comes from having a defined Sacral center in the body graph. If you have Sacral Authority then decisions are made based on the Yes or No response you feel in the moment from the Sacral Center.
Splenic Authority - 9% of the population
This could also be called “gut instinct” and means that you are meant to make decisions in the moment based on intuition. The intuitive Authority in the Spleen Center works in the moment and has to be heeded when it appears. Ignoring the information from your intuition can have serious effects. This is complicated by the fact that this type of intuition comes on strongly, but then disappears and does not return. If you don’t listen or go with your intuition, you may find yourself making the wrong decisions.
Emotional Authority - 53% of the population
Having a defined Emotional Center in your design dramatically influences your Human Design. The decision-making strategy in the Emotional Center is about getting clarity over time. That means people with defined emotional centers cannot make spontaneous decisions, yet others will pressure you to make decisions quickly. Often, emotionally defined people will make snap decisions, then the mood changes and they find themselves committed to something that they really don’t want to do anymore. Waiting until you have emotional clarity can save you from a lot of frustration, and help you preserve your relationships with the people around you.
In life we are taught to use our brains. Intellect is prized and rewarded, for good reason. It makes things happen in the world of commerce, work, education. I would say politics, but I am not sure I see evidence of wisdom here these days.
In Human Design we refer to the Mind as our Outer Authority. It is what we use to take our skills, gifts and experience out into the world.
To maker personal choices for our lives however, we use our Inner Authority. This is the wisdom of the body, which science shows operates billions of times faster than our Minds. The challenge is that we have lost touch with this inner wisdom. So that even when it shows up and we hear it, our Mind argues with it.
If you were to simply get to know your Energetic Aura (Your Type), practice using your Strategy to break down resistance, and tap back into the wisdom of your intuition and instinct, your life could look very different.
It is all there now, already inside of you. All you get to do is tap back into it.
There are six types of Inner Authority in Human Design. It is our own built in GPS system for making clear choices.
Ego Authority
Only Manifestors can have Ego Authority, which means that their Authority comes from the Will or Heart Center connection to the Throat. People with Ego Authority do not need to wait for anything before they make decisions. The only thing they must do is make sure that their energy is up to the task. The energy in the Will Center works in cycles that pulse on and off. If Manifestors push through an “off” cycle, they risk burning themselves out.
Self-Projected Authority
Only Projectors can have Self-Projected Authority. Self-Projected Authority occurs when there is a connection from the G-Center/Identity Center to the Throat Center with no other defined centers that override it. Self-Projected Authority means that you make decisions by discussing things with your close friends or family. Their responses to your ideas show you whether or not something is correct for you.
Mental Projected Authority
Only Projectors experience Mental Projected Authority. This type of Authority happens when the Ajna (2nd center from the top in the body graph) is connected to the Throat Center with no other overriding centers defined. Mental Projected Authority means that you are meant to discuss your invitations with the people around you in order to get clarity on what is right or correct for you.
