Strategy in Human Design

Strategy in Human Design refers to the unique approach that each Type has when making decisions and taking action in life. It provides valuable guidance on how to navigate the world, make choices aligned with your true self, and recognize when you are on the right path. Following your Strategy allows you to naturally harmonize with your life purpose, reduce resistance, and make decisions that bring fulfillment and joy. Fulfilling your Strategy leads to experiences and circumstances that are correct for you, while ignoring it can result in situations that are not aligned with your true nature. Mastering your Strategy requires dedication and practice, often over months or years.

Manifestor Strategy: Inform

Manifestors have a closed and repelling aura that can lead to misunderstandings. Their strategy, "Informing," aims to reduce resistance and promote clear communication. By informing others before acting, Manifestors facilitate mutual understanding and decrease the possibility of conflict, creating a more harmonious environment for their actions.

Generator Strategy: Respond

Generators have an open and enveloping aura, designed to attract situations to which they can respond. Their strategy, "Responding," highlights the importance of waiting for opportunities or external stimuli to arise, allowing their sacral response to guide their decisions. This leads to more satisfying actions aligned with their true being.

Manifesting Generator Strategy: Inform and Respond

Manifesting Generators combine aspects of Manifestors and Generators. They have the ability to initiate actions (like Manifestors) but also benefit from responding to external stimuli (like Generators). Their strategy involves "Informing" others about their intentions before acting, reducing resistance, and also "Responding" to situations and invitations that life presents to them, ensuring that their actions are energized and aligned with their true motivations.

Projector Strategy: Wait for the Invitation

Projectors are recognized for their unique abilities and gifts but need to be invited to share them. "Waiting for the Invitation" is their strategy for engagement and success. By patiently awaiting recognition and specific invitations, Projectors ensure that their contributions are valued and effective.

Reflector Strategy: Wait for the 28-Day Lunar Cycle 

Reflectors, with their fully open charts, are deeply influenced by the environment and energies around them. Their strategy, "Waiting for the 28-Day Lunar Cycle," allows them to absorb and reflect on influences before making important decisions. This period of observation helps ensure that their choices are aligned with the right timing and conditions.
