What is My Energy Type and What Does it Mean?

Updated: Oct 19

Everything around us is made up of energy—humans, the earth, trees, houses, cars, animals, planets, stars—everything. Science and quantum physics have proven that all matter is energy vibrating at different frequencies. The fascinating part is learning how our own energy works and how it interacts with the energy around us. When you start to understand the flow of your own energy, you can align with it, and that’s when life becomes more fulfilling, more intuitive, and, ultimately, more successful.


In Human Design, the starting point is your Energy Type. We were all built to function differently, with distinct skills and ways our energy works. When we align with that, rather than trying to force ourselves into the world’s standard “one-size-fits-all” way of doing things, we create success and happiness with so much more ease. And it’s more enjoyable because it’s the way our souls naturally crave doing life. If you don't know what your type is, you can download a free copy of your Human Design chart HERE.


Your energy type gives you the most basic information about how you're Designed and how you interact energetically with the world. It provides insights into your unique energetic makeup, decision-making process, and how you best navigate through life. Your Type is an essential tool for understanding how you can move through the world in a way that is authentic and supportive for you. Think of your Type as a tool to help guide you rather than a label that you are stuck with. The thing I love about Human Design is that we get to experiment and see how it works for us individually. How it works for me is different to how it works for you. You may see some Human Design information out there which is heavily focused on Type and putting everyone into a box based on this, but there are so many more layers to Human Design that this just gets you started. Think about your gender - are you male or female? Let's say you're female, that doesn't make you and every other female the same - it's just a starting point. Think of Type in the same way.


There are five Types, which are determined by which of the nine energy centres are activated in your chart. But the easiest way for you to tell which Type you are is by downloading your chart.

Manifestors are the ones who get things started. They have this incredible ability to initiate and spark change wherever they go. They’re the trailblazers—thriving on independence and making their own path. Manifestors don’t need anyone’s permission to act; they just go for it, making things happen with their drive and vision. If you're a Manifestor, you might already notice how much impact you have on the world just by being yourself. Want to dive deeper into how you can harness this power? Check out our post on Manifestors here.


Generators are like the energisers of the world, full of life and vitality. These are the people who are at their best when they’re doing what they love—when they're responding to the things that light them up. Generators are here to work on what feels right for them, and when they do, they create endless energy and creativity. It’s all about responding to the right opportunities. If you're a Generator and want to learn more about how to tap into that abundant energy, take a look at our in-depth post here.


Manifesting Generators? Well, they're the best of both worlds—combining the power of Manifestors and the stamina of Generators. These are the multitaskers, the ones who can juggle a million things at once and still come out on top. They’re efficient, spontaneous, and driven by a deep sense of purpose. Manifesting Generators are here to break the mould and do things their own way, fast and efficiently. Curious about how to maximise your unique mix of energy? Check out our full post on Manifesting Generators here.


Projectors are the wise guides. They’re not here to hustle like the other types—instead, they see things from a higher perspective. Projectors have this amazing ability to recognise the potential in others and offer guidance. They’re here to manage, direct, and advise, making sure the right people are doing the right things. If you're a Projector, embracing your unique role can be so empowering. Learn more about how to step into that role [here].


Reflectors are the rare gems—mirroring back the energy of the people and environments around them. They have this unique ability to sense what’s going on beneath the surface and reflect the health of their community. Reflectors are deeply in tune with the world around them and are here to show us how well (or not so well) things are going. If you’re a Reflector, you know that you experience life in cycles. Explore how to navigate those cycles in our Reflector post [here].


Now that you’ve had a sneak peek at the five energy types in Human Design, it’s time to explore your own. Whether you already know your type or you’re just getting started, understanding how you’re designed to operate is the first step towards aligning with your true self.
