What Are The Core Needs of Each Human Design Type?

What are the core needs of each human design energy type?

Human Design is a wonderful modality which is used to help each of us contemplate, explore and understand our uniqueness.  It encourages us to contemplate and express this uniqueness as we go about our day to day lives. 

If you are new to Human Design and would like to learn which energy type you are you can find out how here.

There are 5 Human Design energy types.  It is important to note that these energy types are simply tools to help all of us understand the vast amount of information contained in our individual human design more easily.  Human Design is a study of uniqueness and the use of a ´type´in no way defines who you are as a person.  It is simply a title to help you understand how to use your energy in the best way possible. 

Each energy type has their own core needs.  In this article we will be exploring this for each type.

Manifesting Generator

When it comes to these multifaceted beings their core needs are:

  • Multi-passionate; to be accepted for having many varying interests, abilities and desires

  • Efficiency; these beings fully understand the concept of the end justifying the means.  Not here to go through the motions they are here to get the job done so they can move onto what excites them next.  Let them do things their own efficient way.

  • Doing the impossible; this energy type has the ability to do it all, they are here to show us all that we can do what might be considered impossible.

  • Satisfaction; it is vital for this energy type to enjoy the work they are doing and to feel satisfaction throughout their day as a result of the things they are doing.

    Generator

For Generators their needs are met as follows:

  • Feel valued; as the do-er of the gang it is very important for a Generator to feel valued for the contribution they make to the team, family, partnership etc.

  • Completion; there is satisfaction in completing tasks to the best of your ability

  • Reliability; these energy beings love being considered as reliable by their cohort.  It is important that they are not taken for granted when meeting this core need.

  • Satisfied; being satisfied with the work or actions they are doing is a core need of a Generator.  The feeling of a job well done is embodied by this energy type living their design.

Projector

For the projectors amongst us, you can satisfy their needs by giving them:

  • Recognition & acknowledgement; noticing that they have a unique view & opinion on things and acknowledging verbally to them that you see they have a special way of seeing things.

  • To share their insight; to bring the best out of this energy type it is important to ask them to share how they formed their opinion or point of view.  Being invited to share this feels very satisfying to a Projector.

  • Success; Projectors enjoy the feeling of success, they need to feel this in their life.  Define what this is for them.

  • Efficiency; to make things more efficient by doing them differently without judgement from others.

  • Rest & Recovery; these energy beings have to be honoured for needing rest and time to recover in their own timeframe.  They should not be required to keep up with the rest of us.

Reflector

This very rare energy type has the following core needs:

  • Curiosity; to understand the world in which they live and the people who are in it as a way of understanding themselves better.

  • Rest; with so many open centres these beings need plenty of time to rest and sit in their own energy.  Allow them this space and time to recalibrate and sit with their own energy.

  • Surprise; is a big need for this energy type.  With a childlike innocence they need to be delighted by the world around them.

    Manifestor

This big energy type needs the following needs met:

  • To go big or go home; you need to follow and pursue all your urges regardless of how much sense they make to you or others.

  • Autonomy; over every decision or action in your life.  You don't need anyone advising you on what decisions you should be making.

  • Impact; you need to feel like you are making a big impact with all that you are doing.

  • Freedom; to do what you want when you want.

  • Peace; an inner sense of peace and calm.

So there you have it, the core needs of each energy type.  Knowing these is not only important for your own energy type but also for your interactions with other energy types which you may be close to in your life.  Colleagues, friends, partners, children, how can you satisfy their core needs more so they feel more seen and their energetic aura expands?  Leaning into fulfilling both yours and others core needs leads to much more harmonious transactions.
