Human Design (again)

[Ava]

I have a love/loathing relationship with this system. I hate the complexity but very grudgingly see the accuracy.

The system is becoming more prevalent, I think. Recently found a book at Barnes & Noble related to it (The Gene Keys), and it's popular on YouTube.

I like this explanation of the four main types:

Hmm according to this I am a Manifestor, but frankly I don`t see it in me. I think? 

[anela]

I'm a manifesting generator, if I remember correctly.

[Ava]

I'm not energetic enough to relate to being a pure generator. But it does say in that reading, pure generators have the ability to pace themselves.

I definitely can see you as a manifestor, lumina .

Cannot really see you in that tiny description of manifesting generators, anela . Does it resonate at all?

More to say later on linking body charts together later....I don't know if anyone else has the patience or interest, but I'm simple-minded and lighting up as many centers as possible makes me happy. I almost never get a lit-up (defined) head center with anyone. I have no defined gates (or whatever it's called) leading to the head so it has to be all them.

Pls don't quote

Well I am not really someone who likes to initiate anything. But I don`t know enough about this system to form an opinion.
BTW P is a generator like you Ava (his wife is a projector)

[Ava]

I see teaching as a form of initiation lumina. That's one thing. You've probably taught astrology to far more people than you know, by being a good teacher online. That can manifest a whole community or large shift in consciousness.

But I also don't know enough....or I've forgotten it.

^ Thank you for your thoughts @blindlion. I appreciate it. 👍

I can get sucked into studies of this and it's not good for me. Part of the reason is, I struggle with authority and this system is not "open source" and conversational, but more authoritarian and resembles a kind of multi-level marketing scheme. The fact that the founder is in the pharaoh category and I am in the slave category just does a weird mind-meld on my self-esteem, even though it's absolutely true that I do not want to be a pharaoh. I like working in a warehouse ("slave" class!) I don't want to be an "influencer" either, I like my anonymity.

And yes, I think astrology can take us to the same places...HD can hit the nail on the head with certain things, maybe a bit louder and more concretely. I have the HD 1/3 profile of "Investigator/Martyr" that I completely relate to. I think it matches my Aqua Mercury and Pisces moon, even though this system probably did not classify me as a 1/3 based on that at all.

1/3 also matches my probable enneagram, 5.

I don't know...sometimes it feels gross getting too attached to these systems but I can admit that if someone tried to understand me through HD, they would see me as I see myself, in many ways.
