My Introduction to Human Design

Welcome back again family!


In today's post, I'll be sharing some basic information about Human Design. Now, for those who don't know what human design is, please Google it because I can't describe it well honestly. I think about it as a system for self-knowing and exploration. Now I'm definitely a novice on the subject but I wouldn't be moving into my authentic self if I didn't share any new information that I'm learning with y'all. My post today is going to be more of an explanation of my own design rather than explaining the subject itself. Hopefully, I can inspire you to find your own design and research for yourself. 


In Human Design there are four energy types:

  • reflectors
  • projectors
  • manifestors
  • generators


In the generator type, there's a subsection called manifesting generators. I just found out that Beyonce and Nicki Minaj are manifesting generators and so am I! I'll describe what this means later in the post. Beyond your energy type, you have a Profile, which is something like a personality type. Each personality type is a combination of two numbers formatted like a fraction (x/y) with numbers 1-6.


I'm not going to deep dive into my actual chart but I'll still include it in the post.


Type: Manifesting Generator

Strategy: Wait to Respond

Authority: Solar Plexus

Profile: 6-2 Role Model/Hermit

Definition: Single Definition 

Not-Self theme: Frustration

Signature: Satisfaction

Incarnation Cross: Left Angle Cross of Migration 2



One of the websites I used to get my Human Design chart is www.myhumandesign.com and you would use your birthday, time, and location. It's similar to getting your natal chart in astrology but completely different entirely. You can also go to human.design to get your free Human Design chart and a free breakdown of your chart. 


As I mentioned this is a new topic I'm learning about so I don't know all the details of my chart. Being transparent I don't know what half of it means. I plan to write a series on my discoveries with Human Design so be sure to follow along with later posts. Two things I want to discuss in my chart are my energy type and my profile


Manifesting Generator


Generators make up most of the population - about 70%. They are the doers of the world and bring massive amounts of energy to the human design system. Think of what a generator does for a house, right. It provides electricity that powers the entire home. Within this energy type, there are manifesting generators. Even though they have the word manifesting in the name, they are not a blend of manifestors and generators. They are still generators but have an open line of energy from the throat chakra to the sacral chakra. This gives MGs a unique skill to manifest things but they still have to follow their strategy and authority.


Each energy type has a strategy, which is just a tool to use to help make decisions. Pure generators have the strategy of waiting to respond. Really it's just being patient and waiting on a sign before making decisions. This may take the form of an internal response in the gut or an external response in life. Remember that the Universe speaks its own language, an ancient language without words, and that permeates throughout nature and life. Manifesting Generators have one more step in their strategy; to inform. This might look like telling your family and friends about your plans after you've received a response to go through with them. 


Your authority is just that, the power to give orders or make decisions. Generators have an emotional authority, which is often ambiguous. It takes time and practice to be able to translate your emotional responses into yes and no. In the spirit of transparency, I haven't mastered this skill yet. But I am learning to ride the emotional waves. By combining your strategy and authority, you can master your life.


6/2 The Role Model Hermit


The first number in the profile represents the conscious mind and the second represents the unconscious mind. The 6 line symbolizes the Role Model and the 2 line symbolizes the Hermit. Some famous 6/2s include both Barack and Michelle Obama, Nicki Minaj, and me of course. 


The 6 Line shows that there will be 3 stages of life for that profile carrier. The first stage (birth-30) is a period of trial and error. This trial and error period mimics that of Line 3 - The Martyr. During this stage, you should be using the "explore and exploit" tactics to navigate life. That means to explore different experiences, whether that's carriers, locations, or relationships; exploit those that bear successful results, and if no successful outcomes follow, you continue exploring. The second stage (30-50) is a period of reflection and adaptation. During Barack Obama's second stage he married Michelle, became a state senator, then a US Senator, and subsequently the 44th president of the United States. The third stage (50-death) is where the carrier begins to use their wisdom to live in their truth, shares their wisdom with others, and become a "role model" of themselves. 


The 2 Line shows that there is an intense and recurring need for seclusion or isolation, such as a hermit crab isolated in its shell. In her memoir Becoming, Michelle Obama mentions that in every home they lived in together, Barack had a separate space for reading and decompressing. He called it his "hole." Individuals with the 2 Line need space to regroup and value their alone time. This is something I've come to realize about myself. No matter how much I think I want to, I've never actually been one to hang out often. I have to be in the mood. During this solitary time, Line 2 can work on their skills and crafts, further their knowledge, or just recharge to head back into the world. People need to understand and respect the Line 2 need for alone time. 


I know that was a lot, but thank you for reading and learning with me. In my next post about Human Design, I will talk about the Profile lines more in-depth. But until then, be blessed, get rest, And try not to stress! Love y'all to life!

Introduction: Welcome to my Life

Well hello there. If you're reading this that means you made it to my blog and for that I want to say thank you so much! It also means that you are now my family, so it's nice to see meet you cousin! So after months and months of thinking about starting a blog, I've finally done it and I'm glad you're here to witness it. But first, let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Alexis Gant. I'm 20 years old from Jacksonville, Florida and am currently a junior at Florida State University double majoring in criminology and interdisciplinary social sciences with a concentration in sociology and anthropology (sounds like a lot but it's really not). I am a mother to two beautiful girls, Heaven and Malia. I'm pretty much a loner even though I live for social interaction (probably cause I'm on some different wavelengths). I am passionate about education and the criminal justice system and hope to one day become a defense attorney. I believe in love and s...

Winter Arc 2024: The Mommy Mogul Rebrand

Welcome back to the blog cousins! First, I want to offer you a scripture, Romans 12:2 "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." I have a saying, "Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your reality." Maybe it's not my saying, but it's something that I say and shares the sentiment of Romans 12:2. You can change your life by changing your thoughts. That brings me to the topic of today's blog post. Where am I writing from you ask, my JOB, which I hope to only have for a week longer. What I told you last time, the best thing a job can do for me is what? OKAY! Our completed habit tracker Today, I want to share a challenge that my twin best friends and I are embarking on together. We saw it on TikTok and immediately hopped on the idea. Titled The Winter Arc , the challenge required each of us to pick three pillars where we wanted to create different habits. We then had to identify thr...

The Message of Amos 9:13: Change is Here

Welcome back, family! I'm so glad to be back writing for y'all. Forgive me in advance, because I admit, I feel a bit all over the place and writing always helps me ground myself.  So, this morning, I was following my regular routine. Wake and garden (iykyk), scroll on social media, pack lunches, and start my day hopefully in a positive direction.  I don't know if I told y'all, but I've been tapping into my spiritual gifts more, one of which is clairaudience. Let's hold onto that for a bit. Back to my morning routine, which needs major revision, but I digress. As I'm scrolling, I keep seeing Amos 9:13. I mean KEEP seeing it, from Twitter to TikTok. I saw about 3 videos, made on different dates, with the same message: "It's going to happen faster than you thought." I won't need months or even weeks. The change in my life I'm seeking is happening now. It's been happening for months - probably years.  Now, I don't claim to be holier...
