Most of us have been shaped by a world that tells us who to be, how to behave, and what path is appropriate for us to follow. In this environment, it’s easy to feel disconnected from our true selves. If you’ve started to feel like something is “off,” but can’t quite name what it is, Human Design may be able to shine a light on the path to greater authenticity.

Have you sometimes felt alone and misunderstood? Reflectors are the rarest type in Human Design, making up just 1% of the population. Unlike Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, and Projectors, Reflectors have no defined centers in their chart. This makes you a highly sensitive, deeply perceptive person and uniquely able to mirror the health and energy of the people and environments around you.

You may have encountered personality tests like Enneagram or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which offer different approaches to understanding personality. In these tests you answer a series of questions to determine where you fall within their scale so you can glean insights about your personality. But Human Design is so much more than a personality test.
