06. Aura Type Basics

Kelsey: 00:00

So we might say that generators and manifestors are the energy types, projectors and reflectors are the awareness types. Both types engage with both energy and awareness. And this doesn't mean that projectors and reflectors are naturally more aware beings than generators or manifestors. It means their auric function is tied to their awareness, whereas generator and manifestor auric functions are tied to the use of energy in the body. Welcome to the Living Your Design podcast.

I'm your experimenter, Kelsey Rose Tortorice. This podcast is an audio only release of the full length in-depth human design foundations course I've been teaching over the last several years. It is a no bullshit, comprehensive, embodied introduction to the human design system that will challenge your ego mind and support you in your process of reuniting with the unique wisdom of your body. In episode one, I speak a bit about the process that led me to releasing this course for free in podcast form, and I offer a few notes that might be useful to contextualize and clarify what you'll hear in this episode and beyond. I I recommend giving that short intro episode a listen if you haven't yet.

The LYD podcast is part of a larger living body of work, a growing archive of my teachings about consciousness through the languages of astrology and human design, hosted in an online community space where I stay in orbit with my students, mentees, alumni, peers, and collaborators. For more information about how to connect with me and tune in to my archives and ongoing live teachings, including how to access the original LYD course complete with videos and slides, stay tuned to the podcast or check out patreon.com/kelseyrosetort. Thank you for tuning in to my transmission of living your design. It's a deeply personal and somewhat vulnerable share that I feel honored, humbled, and excited to release into the world. I hope that it helps you remember and come home to yourself.

Okay. Here we go. We're finally getting into aura type here. But once again, just a very basic overview to kind of set the stage ahead of getting into the mechanical why of aura type, which comes from exploring definition and openness in each of the nine centers. But let's get started here with just a little bit of like a profile page on each of the four aura types.

So generators and manifesting generators. Manifesting generators, we'll talk about a little more specifically when we cover the throat center. They are a type of generator underneath the umbrella of generators, and the aura is a little bit different in my experience, the and the experience is a little bit different, but there's enough base level octave that manifesting generators have in common with generators, which is all of the things on this page that make you of the same aura type. Generators and manifesting generators together make up approximately 70% of the population. About half of that is manifesting generators, so split approximately around the middle.

So this is the most common type in human design. Most of the planet are sacral beings or generators or mansions. And the aura that comes with this type is an open and enveloping aura. I tend to think of it as a hugging aura because a generator aura is I picture it like a steam engine. There's like this life force, this steam, this warmth reaching out and hugging, touching everything around it.

The generator aura wants to feel the life around it. The generator strategy that goes with that aura is waiting to respond or being in response. Typically more traditionally, it'll be listed, like, written out either as wait to respond or just respond. There's something about the phrasing being in response that feels better to me. And we'll talk more about that when we talk about generators specifically in their relation, in relation to being sacral beings and the mechanics of that sacral center.

Generators experience themes of satisfaction and frustration. Satisfaction is what the generator feels when it listens to that gut sacral response and it allows their energy to, it allows the life force energy to move through them in the ways that literally feel satisfying and good. And frustration is what happens for generators when either when that energy is wanting to move in a direction, but it's not being allowed to, it's not being released in the satisfying direction. So like a pent up energy or frustration can show up when that fixed energy of the sacral it's defined. So it's fixed it's on or it's off is trying to be forced in a direction that it, that the true life force doesn't organically actually want to move in.

And generators can be either emotional or sacral authority because the authority center is one of the centers in your body that you have defined that is your consistent access to this inner knowing on a somatic level. And, anyone who has a defined solar plexus or emotional center has emotional authority. And the next one in line after that is the sacral center. And since generators always have a defined sacral center, about 50% of them also have a defined emotional center, in which case they would be an emotional generator or an emotional manifesting generator. And the other 50% about have an undefined emotional center, which means that emotional process can't be your authority because it's not you, it's your conditioning.

And so then the defined sacral becomes the authority. We're going to get into authority after we go through all the centers and revisit type again, but just bird's eye view again. And the thing that makes someone a generator is a defined sacral center. So anyone with that sacral center defined, whether it's defined through connection to the solar plexus, root, spleen, G, or throat. If there's any sacral definition at all, that person is a generator or a manifesting generator because all this other stuff, the open and enveloping aura, the strategy of response, the satisfaction and the frustration, all of that is based on the mechanics of the sacral center.

So generators, the most important thing for you in learning your design is learning about your sacral center, feeling that sacral response in your body and listening to it. That's really everything for generators. There's really the potential for a very simple shift into aligned life force movement for generators. Next, we're gonna look at manifestors. Manifestors make up 9% of the population, roughly.

Sometimes you'll see eight, sometimes you'll see 10. So I went with nine. Manifestors, I'll start over here with what makes a manifestor. So actually, let me go back to generators for a moment. I said generators have a defined sacral.

Anyone who has a defined sacral is either a generator or a manifesting generator. What that means, just to be very clear, is that anyone who does not have a defined sacral center is one of these other categories. So sometimes you'll hear manifestors, projectors, and reflectors all referred to together as non sacral. There's something specific and unique that all three of those types who together only make up 30% of the population, they're already in a minority share in being non sacrals and having this one really major difference than the majority of the population. Ra would often say generators are the archetype of the human.

So all the nonsacrals, whether they're manifestors, projectors, or reflectors, there's this immediate awareness that can come in with the experiment of human design and the study of human design that goes, oh, my body doesn't operate like the archetype of the human. Right. And even within that, there's some homogenization in that. So generators don't worry. You're not like normal.

You're highly differentiated as well. But the, the life force energy that comes from the sacral as an entire planet, we are very conditioned by the majority of the human beings experience, which is consistent access to that life force energy through the sacral. So as we go into manifestors now, and then reflectors and projectors, there's something all these non sacral types have in common, which begins with undefined sacral center, inconsistent access to life force energy, and an unfixed fluctuating way of being in relationship to life force energy. So manifestors, first of all, are not generators, right? Have an undefined sacral center, as you can see here, but to be a manifestor, in addition to having an undefined sacral center, the body will have one or more of the other motor centers defined and connected through a channel to the throat.

So remember the sacral, I I mentioned when we were going over the motor centers in the section about the body graph, I mentioned the sacral is the main motor center of the body, but there's four motor centers in total the four on the bottom, right? The root, the sacral, the solar plexus, and the ego are all motor centers. And a manifestor is a non sacral, no access to the main engine in the body, but a manifestor has at least one. It can be one, two or three, but at least one defined of these minor motor centers, or sometimes I call them conditional motor centers and not only defined, but connected through a channel to the throat. And it can be connected in one of these direct motor to throat channels over here on the right side of the body graph, or it can be connected like through the ego or solar plexus to the G and then the throat, or from the root to the spleen and then the throat, or the root to the spleen and then the G and then the throat.

So it doesn't have to be a direct connection, but there is motorized energy fuel defined in a motor center that through that person's channels gets to the throat consistently throughout their own definition. So you can have a defined throat and not be a manifestor. If that defined throat through your own circuitry, through your own definition is not connected to a motor. And just to clarify, manifesting generators are sacral beings who also have motor to throat definition. So you can be a defined sacral generator with a defined throat.

That's not a manifesting generator because none of these motors make it to the throat. Okay. Coming back to manifestors, so non sacrals, but with a motor to the throat make up about nine percent of the population, so pretty rare, have a closed and repelling aura. Sometimes you'll also hear the manifestor aura be referred to as pushing or impacting. So where the generator aura is open and enveloping because it is pulling life towards it with its life force, with its magnetic life force.

It's pulling things towards its aura, not forcing things from strategy of the ego mind, just naturally, this is what happens in the dance of life for the generator is what is needed comes without the generator having to do anything. And then the generator body responds to it. It feels things out with its open and enveloping aura and responds to it. The manifestor aura type is not available for or energized for that continuous response. And so we don't have an open aura.

I'm saying we because I'm a manifestor. Manifestors are though our auric function is to take this more conditional energy, not life force, not consistent, inconsistent, specific purpose energy from one of these minor motor centers and to initiate some move that energy into the world through the throat center, not in a way that is dancing with this outside energy in a way that really comes from this internal personal urge to create, to take this energy from within and push it out. So manifestors have a closed aura to protect us because the only thing our bodies as manifestors naturally provide fuel for is what we initiate. We do not have energy to be in response with the world around us. So we have a closed aura that protects us from having to, and not only is our aura closed as manifestors, but it's also pushing or repelling because in order for us to initiate, we need there to be space in front of us where we can make the thing happen without having to meet a lot of resistance.

So the manifestor aura will literally push energy out of its way in order to be able to initiate without resistance, without having to respond. The strategy for the manifestor is informing. And I'll note this now, and I'll note it again. When we circle back to manifestors after going through the centers, that manifestors are the only type of the four types who have a strategy that is not mechanical. Okay.

Informing is not actually what the manifestor aura wants to do. What the manifestor aura will mechanically do is move into action upon these urges of energy from our motor centers and initiate. However, because we have a closed aura, people can't sense what manifestors are about to do the way that they can energetically feel with generators and projectors specifically who combined makeup almost 90%, if not more of the or sorry. Yeah. 90%, if not more of the population, generators and projectors can feel into one another.

So when they bump up against a manifestor, there can be this feeling of what's happening here. I can't tell what's about to happen. And this feeling of it's going to impact me because not only is the aura closed off, but it's pushing and impacting and repelling. So informing for the manifestor is, is about minimizing existence by saying, Hey, this is what's about to happen. Y'all can move out of the way because here it comes.

Right. And no one can stop it. I can't stop it. You can't stop it. Here it comes.

I'm letting you know ahead of time as a courtesy, which will hopefully create an opportunity for more peace for me, because then I don't have to get caught in this web of responding to my impact. So I just wanna point that out for everyone, but especially for manifestors tuning in because in when a, when a projector relaxes into waiting for invitation, when a generator relaxes into response mode as a strategy, there can feel, it can feel like this clicking into place. Like, yes, that's the way my body's always wanted to move. And that's all I have to do is allow it and not force anything else. But it's a different experience for manifestors because informing isn't a mechanical part of our auric movement.

Initiating is, but our strategy, according to this system that Ra, you know, universalized to create practical tools within all this knowledge of human design, informing as a strategy is not mechanical. It's like a learned behavior that we can, can use to hopefully alleviate some resistance and create more, more spaciousness for our peace. Speaking of peace, manifestors experience themes of peace and anger. So when a manifestor is allowed to just be inside allowed to, and allowing oneself to just be inside of our closed aura and not having to like be open or perform openness, as I sometimes say, or force our energy to respond or go in places where it doesn't organically want to move. We feel at peace.

Manifesters, we are an energy type like generators. So generators and manifestors are the two types that generators and manifestors are the two types whose aura function has something to do with energy moving out, energy moving through the body, either being generated or manifested through the form, but we're a very different type of energy being than the generator. We're an inconsistent energy being because we do not have consistent access to life force to that generating and regenerating function of the sacral. And so manifestors need a lot of rest. We're energy beings who are resting most of the time.

The natural state for the manifestor is rest, and then the urge hits and something is initiated, and then it's rest time again. And so I'm saying this because peace exists for a manifestor, both when we're moving through with our closed aura, initiating without resistance, the thing that's wanting to come through and be initiated is able to without meeting much resistance, And more often when we're resting and not having to force or trying to force our body to put energy into something when it's not create mode, it's not initiate mode, it's rest mode. So peace for us is being inside of our closed aura, whether it's initiation mode or rest mode, and, and really just not being bothered, or tasking ourselves with having to respond, but being in that flow, that organic flow and rhythm of rest and create, and anger shows up for manifestors at resistance. So anger for manifestors is there's resistance to my rest right now. My body is at rest, but I'm trying to force it to do something else to generate, to initiate when there's not a true urge to be in response to the life around me, that my closed aura is trying to show me I don't need to be in response to.

That will result in anger. But anger for the manifestor can also be, I am initiating and there's resistance. And instead of just going, here's the thing that's happening and it happens, there's like all these extra steps that I don't have energy for. And manifestors can have either emotional splenic or ego authority. So always non sacral.

For manifestors, there's never sacral authority because we never have a defined sacral center, but we can have emotional authority. If we have a defined emotional center, we are emotional manifestors. If that's undefined, but we have a defined spleen, that would be a splenic manifestor. And if both of those are undefined, but there's a defined ego, that would be an ego manifestor. And manifestors will always have at least one of those three centers defined because it's required in order for us to have a motor throat definition, which is what makes us a manifestor.

We're going to reflectors next who make up approximately one and a half percent of the population. Sometimes you see 1%, sometimes you see two ish percent. So we're going with one and a half reflectors have a sampling and resilient aura. Sometimes you'll hear people describe the aura for reflectors as Teflon, like that kind of like a little bit of a resistant aura. It can, the Teflon pan can hold the food or the water, the oil or whatever it is, but then it also falls right out.

So it's not like pushing and repelling like a manifestor aura, but it is more like a manifestor aura than it is like a projector or generator aura because the reflector aura receives, it takes in through all this openness, but then it's able to just sort of sample it and spit it right back out without getting really attached to it. So reflectors and manifestors have some overlap in their experience of being to some extent and in their own way, sort of resistant to the, the conditioning forces around it that come from other people. And reflectors have all nine centers defined. So anyone with no channel definition and thus no center definition is a reflector. Reflectors experiment with the strategy of waiting a lunar cycle because when ref because reflectors don't have any channel or center definition, that means they have a lot of half gates, dormant potentials.

And so the moon is the fastest moving planetary body by a lot. The moon moves through the entire Zodiac or all 64 gates about every twenty eight days. And the next fastest planets to do that are going to be mercury and the sun, which take about a year. And, so the, the moon becomes this constant change, but in a way that regularly hits each of the dormant potentials, each of the gates that are in an undefined center for the reflectors, creating transit definition in a consistent way, every single month, every single twenty eight day cycle, reflectors move through the same pattern of changing transitioning definition. It's not always the same because there's all the other planets that are in a different arrangement every time the moon hits that same gate again, and it's pattern throughout the twenty eight days.

But underneath that always changing landscape of definition through the transits, reflectors do have this consistency of the lunar cycle. And so since they, since reflectors can't depend on any one center in the body to govern their, their natural organic mechanical function with strategy or authority, that lunar cycle becomes both their strategy and their authority. Okay. So the becomes both their strategy and their authority. Okay.

So the strategy for reflectors is to wait a lunar cycle. And then the authority is also considered lunar authority because that lunar cycle provides them with the holistic somatic experience of considering any one decision through the lens of their ever changing inner landscape in order to see it holistically for what it really is rather than for what it is in each of those passing moments where their definition is changing. And the themes for reflectors are surprise and disappointment. So there's, there's a lot here that we'll get way more into when we talk about the reflector in the actual type unit. This is one that, because the reflectors are such a different being than the rest of us, all the rest of us are solar beings, reflectors are lunar beings.

It's it can, at least for me, it was trickier to really feel into what surprise and disappointment were. And it took me more time, more process and conversations with reflectors who all of us know presumably less reflectors than we know of the other types because it's such a small percentage. So my point is just, it took, it has taken me time to feel into, to be able to like really feel in my body why surprise and disappointment and connect that mechanically and see examples of it and synthesize all of this. So I'm not sure I can give a quick mechanical explanation of it the way that I can for the other types in this brief overview. But essentially reflectors have a very interesting and unique relationship to the program and to homogenization because that is what they're constantly reflecting.

And they're taking it in, in a, in a way that completely takes over their experience versus the rest of us have some definition, which is then available as a strategy and authority for us to constantly root into, to move us through that changing landscape of the transits in the program. But for reflectors, it's all the transits in the, in the program. They're so taken by that experience. And surprise for them is when they get to really feel into uniqueness and true expression when the program is hitting and influencing all the other types, but the other types are still moving from a place of truth and uniqueness. It has this feeling for reflectors of like getting to taste something unexpected, getting to watch everything just fall into place and happen as it's supposed to.

But disappointment happens. Disappointment can show up for reflectors when they are attached to a specific sort of outcome and then it doesn't actually happen. Right? So I I haven't had a reflector, like, verify this yet, so take it with a grain of salt, but I sometimes like to add the idea of remaining detached to the strategy for wait for reflectors of waiting a lunar cycle, because if a reflector gets attached to the outcome that they feel they want or need during any of these passing transitory moments of the lunar cycle, they will be disappointed because none of us are actually in control and none of us actually know exactly what's gonna happen. And the the ability to remain kind of detached, to lean on their sampling and resilient aura, to notice what they're feeling and what their experience of reflecting the energies around them out is without attaching to it opens the reflector up to be able to be surprised with how things play out when people are in their uniqueness, living their design and just being these vessels for the program and the movie to play out.

But if there's an attachment, then likely they're going to, it's gonna result in disappointment. So at least for the time being, that's sort of how I play with these themes of surprise and disappointment for reflectors. And then, yeah, lunar authority for reflectors, the movement of the moon is their inner authority. And it's, is it an inner authority? Most people call it an environmental or outer authority, but it's the way that that moon hits their internal experience through their gates that makes it their authority.

So I would say there's an element of inner authority to it as well. We'll talk about that more when we get to authorities. Alright. And then the final type here, the fourth type, at least in the order that I've decided to lay it out for this overview is projectors and projectors are everyone else. So they're not reflectors because they do have some definition, but they are not generators because they don't have defined sacral and they're not manifestors because they don't have a motor to the throat.

dn't have projectors prior to: 1781

It's a newer machine or vehicle to, to be in play with. So I just like to point that out. It's new to us as a species. It's not as familiar as any of the three other types. Projectors make up approximately 20% of the population.

Sometimes you'll see 22% and their aura is described as deeply absorbing and deeply penetrating. So in this image here, you can see the projector has an aura that points like literally points and penetrates another being, and then absorbs the frequency, the conditioning of that other being into their own form. All of us absorb and amplify through our openness. Right. But the Auric function of the projector is specifically to point, penetrate, and take in and deeply absorb.

So there's a level of depth to the absorption for the projector that exceeds the level of depth to the absorption for any of the other type. And it's not only deeply absorbing, but it's deeply penetrating. So when a projector aura is penetrating another being, they feel it. Okay. And so for that reason, among other reasons, the strategy for the projector is to wait for the invitation.

And that absolutely does have to do with the idea of consent. When a projector's aura does its thing, it penetrates, it moves into another being's auric body and the other being can feel that. And so projectors wait for consent to do their penetration by waiting for invitations. But I do wanna note a couple specific things about this. The projector aura is designed specifically to penetrate the generator aura.

And so, you know, like I said, projectors are new on the scene. And as a species, we're all calibrating to what is it like, how do I operate with a projector? And that's been a major part of my experiment. I have so many close friends who are projectors, and their aura is not designed to penetrate my closed aura. It's designed to penetrate the open aura of the generator.

And yet we engage, and yet we interact, and yet I invite the insights of the projector, but it's a different relationship than the one that the projector aura is most directly designed for. So just pointing that out, we're all learning about the invitation and the penetrating projector of the the penetrating aura of the projector. So I wanted to point that out, one, that the aura is designed to penetrate the generator aura, generator or manifesting aura, manifesting generator aura. But I also wanted to point out that a projector can't turn off its point, really. So even though projectors are waiting for invitations to actually penetrate and then guide through sharing what they see and feel and experience upon that penetration, the aura is doing what it does regardless.

And so that can be a real challenge for projectors is if you're engaging with someone and you're locked into someone, whether they verbally or energetically invited you, your aura is gonna try to penetrate. And so there's something there for projectors around navigating that. How do I wait for an invitation when my aura just wants to go and penetrate? And the aura is designed to penetrate so that it can then project what it sees through sharing what it's been watching. Projectors tend to orient in their awareness a lot towards systems and processes like astrology, like human design, so that you can clarify for yourself and the other, what it is you're experiencing during this deep penetration and deep absorbing process that you do as a projector.

And so Ra would say at times that human design is largely for projectors. It's a system for projectors to study and learn so that their facilitation of guidance process through their absorbing and penetrating aura can be supported with this awareness of this knowledge. The themes for projectors are success and bitterness. I put or recognition in parentheses, but it's more, I've come to understand it more as like recognition precedes success. So success for the projector is not about these conditioned ideas of success that are like money and fame.

It can be that projectors are designed to be seen and recognized. So recognition is a natural thing to occur for the projector. And that could be on large scales like fame, but it doesn't have to be. But success for the projector is about the feeling of having been recognized and invited to penetrate and guide. And when the projector guides through this, this ex this process of being recognized and invited and penetrating and showing and guiding, there's energy actually moves.

They guide, in most cases, the generator towards more satisfying efficient use of energy. And the generator feels more satisfied through their guidance, with their projector and less frustrated. And for the projector that has this sensation of success, Being able to be a part of the transmutation of frustration towards satisfaction feels like success to the projector. And there's a prerequisite to that. That is this recognition feeling seen for what you see feeling seen and invited for your awareness and what you know, is a feeling that comes with the correct invitations for you.

And then through your process, you arrive to success. But the bitterness, the not self theme for projectors is what happens when projectors are forcing that penetration without waiting. And then usually that feels pokey and unwelcomed. And so there's a feeling of being rejected, which leads to bitterness for projectors. There's also a feeling of like, no one's inviting me and I see what needs to happen.

I see exactly what has to happen here and I'm not getting invited. Nobody listens to me. That kind of thing. Like this feeling of, I know what I see, and I know that it's meant to be seen and recognized and invited, and no one's asking. And there's a bitterness that comes with that.

And the bitterness, my teacher, Amy, also talked about the bitterness for projectors. She's a projector, five one mental projector as like this process of deeply penetrating and absorbing. You're like actually eating and digesting other people's energy with that deep absorption process. And so it literally can taste bitter when the energy that you're absorbing and in digesting and eating from the other is an energy that doesn't actually see you or want to work with you or be guided by you in the way that you're designed to, to be recognized and worked with and seen. And projectors can have a whole bunch of kinds of authority.

They can have emotional authority if they have a defined solar plexus. The next one would be splenic. After that, if both of those are undefined, they would be an ego projector. If the ego center is also undefined, they would be a g projector. And if the g center is a g or a self projected projector, and if the g center is also undefined, then they would be a mental projector.

Because that would mean their definition is coming from a center above the throat and either the head or the Ajna, which together make up the mind. Some of this I've already mentioned. And as with everything in this type basics overview, we'll be returning and digging our heels in a bit more and connecting it to the center mechanics, as well as our experiments. But I, I wanna point out a sort of type cat categorization here to help us feel into what overlaps and what doesn't from type to type. So, we have these two ways of dividing the types here.

One is energy being versus non energy being. I mentioned this one a little bit already in that I mentioned that both manifestors and generators are energy beings. Their auric function has to do with motor centers, with the actual use and either manifestation or generation of energy in the body, while projectors and reflectors are non energy beings. In the case of the reflector, there is no energy definition whatsoever because reflectors have all nine centers, including the four motor centers undefined, no consistent access to any kind of energy in the body. Projectors might have an energy center.

They're non sacrals, just like manifestors and reflectors, but they might have the solar plexus, the root or the ego defined. And so sometimes you'll hear people say energy projector, which just means that that's a projector that does have consistent access to some energy in the body because there is a defined motor center. However, regardless of whether a projector actually has a defined motor center or not. So regardless of what they are, what some people might call an energy projector, they're still along with reflectors referred to as non energy beings. These are the two types that are non energy beings, which means that their auric function has nothing to do with the use of energy in their own way.

And on their part projectors are guiding generated energy through the generator body when they penetrate it. And reflectors are reflecting energy, from whatever's happening around them, but their function, their auric function to be the reflector, to be the mirror for reflectors, to be the guider, the facilitator of, towards more energetic efficiency projectors. It all has to do with their awareness and what they see and are experiencing not with their energy. So we might say that generators and manifestors are the energy types, projectors and reflectors are the awareness types. Both types engage with both energy and awareness.

And this doesn't mean that projectors and reflectors are naturally more aware beings than generators or manifestors. It means their auric function is tied to their awareness. Whereas generator and manifestor Auric functions are tied to the use of energy in the body. The other way we can divide is to see that projectors and generators are inter personally tuned in or more inter personally tuned in, whereas manifestors and reflectors are more collectively tuned in. So I mentioned when we first started talking about defined and undefined centers, that we can be conditioned by both relationships by each other's aura and frequency, but also by the transits as the planetary bodies or the program move and change the flavors of definition that are in the background for all of us based on the cosmic happening space on the transits.

And we are all conditioned by all of it, but what raw taught and what makes sense to me, the more I watch and experience and understand the mechanics of each of the types and the auras of each of the types is that projectors and generators with their open in the case of generators or penetrating and absorbing in the case of projectors, auras are more designed to be tuned into each other and to the conditioning that takes place out on the interpersonal conditioning field. There's more conditioning happening in the generator body and the projector body from relationships in that interpersonal realm than from the transits. And it's the opposite for manifestors and reflectors. Manifestors have a closed aura. So we're not as conditioned by the energy around us.

Interpersonally reflectors have a, a sampling and resilient aura. So they are taking in that aura, that, that energy from everyone around them. But they're just as easily able to, when they're aware, when they're operating in strategy and authority, they're just as easily able to just like, let go of that, of that interpersonal conditioning. But because reflectors are these lunar beings who are so impacted by the moon and all the transits lighting up temporarily, that definition in their body, they're very affected by very influenced by the transit field and manifestors in a different way are also very influenced by the transit field, very tuned into the transit field. When you think about the manifestor urge that manifestor manifestor personal motor turning on to move in a certain direction, that is the initiation.

It's at least my experience of it. And this lines up with some stuff that Ra taught is like, it's coming from the program. It's coming from the transits. So manifestors, we're like these conduits for whatever the next thing is, that's gonna come out and influence and impact our entire fractal. Whoever's around us, we move the Maya.

We move the program with our initiations and those are being influenced by the program, by the transit field. So again, it's layers, we're all influenced and conditioned by all of it. But by design, the auras of manifestors and reflectors are more tuned into collective transits through the program and generator and projector auras by design are more tuned into and taking in conditioning and energy interpersonally. So reflector and manifestor auras can feel just like legit weird when 90% of the population has these auras that are designed to either hug or penetrate each other coming into contact with a manifestor aura that just pushes you away or a reflector aura that takes you in, but then spits you right out. It feels different.

It can feel kind of alien. So manifestors and reflectors have a little bit of an alien feeling vibe on an auric level. I think projectors have their own version of a sort of alien feeling vibe because they have these like really intense auras and they see what they see, but they also have learned throughout their life that that's unwanted unless invited. And so there's something very kind of othering, an othering sort of energy that can show up for projectors as well. And lastly, just kind of in conclusion here of our aura types basics segment, this type introduction was just setting the stage.

We're gonna cover aura type much more in-depth along with the corresponding strategies, the signature, and not self themes, and the authorities that accompany them. But understanding all of the above, strategy, signature, theme, not self theme, and authority, in their correlation to center definition in the body graph is what makes this LYD curriculum make mechanical sense and what can potentially help your understanding of type strategy and authority to really land in your body. Thanks for listening to the Living Your Design podcast. Stay tuned for the rest of the curriculum. New batches of episodes are released every Tuesday.
