Of all the hundreds of ways that Human Design might be helpful, the two most important ways are that it shows you the best Strategy to employ in your life and the best Authority to draw on when making decisions. Strategy and Authority are the foundations of Human Design.
Authority we’ll deal with next. But Strategy derives from Type, so a fitting follow-on from my last post.
Each Type has a particular Strategy. Your Strategy is the mechanism you use to move through life. Not in the day-to-day routines and responsibilities, though it can sometimes be helpful there too, but in opening up to what life has in store for you. Co-operating with whatever benevolent force you believe is behind the unfolding of your life’s journey.
Of course, you might not believe there’s any such force. And this may be where you unsubscribe. But if you have a vague idea, or a strong conviction, that there is, then read on.
Generators - your Strategy is to respond. Be aware of and open to the signs and synchronicities around you. What’s your response? Is it a yes or a no? Does it light you up, or shut you down? Learn to dance with the universe by following its lead.
Manifestors - your Strategy is to inform and initiate. Your creative urges are bubbling and brewing within. When the time is right, you can step into your magic and make things happen. But importantly, inform first. Let those who’ll be impacted know what’s coming. You’re not asking permission, just easing any resistance.
Manifesting Generators - you’re a bit of both, but primarily a Generator, so your Strategy is to wait to respond to something, then inform and act. Let others know what your intentions are. Then they can join you or move out of your way.
Projectors - your Strategy is to wait for an invitation. Some say this only applies to love and relationships, your career and where you live. But as a Projector myself, I think it might be broader. It’s worth reflecting on past experiences. When have you been recognised for your gifts and talents and invited into something? When did you step in uninvited? Which worked out better?
Reflectors - your Strategy is to wait out a Lunar Cycle, 28 days or so. The idea is that this gives you the opportunity to test the idea or opportunity in a range of contexts. It’s to do with your lack of definition, which we’ve touched on a bit already, but will explore more in future posts.
So there’s your Strategy, as decided by the stars, but don’t take my word for it. Experiment!

Love how informative, meaningful and easy to understand your view on human design. Makes sense that I’m a manifesting generator!
