THE MANIFESTOR CHART
HOW TO IDENTIFY A MANIFESTOR
You may have heard of all the traits of the Manifestor - their big, bold energy, their ability to initiate, their need for freedom. But what is it that determines a chart to be that of a Manifestor? What kind of energy is it that creates all of these traits?
Read on below for a brief overview on how to identify a Manifestor chart.

DEFINITION
For those new to the practice of Human Design, I will share a quick intro here to inform on how it is that all key properties of a chart are determined - through our definition.
Each chart has a number of ‘defined’ Gates (the numbers on the chart that are highlighted with a dark circle). These defined gates are determined by the position of planets in the sky at two distinct moments - your time of birth and another point in time while you were still in utero.
When there are two Gates defined that are opposite each other in the chart, they form a Channel (see example below). When a Channel is defined in any chart, the two Energy Centers on either side become defined. When looking at a chart, a defined Energy Center is any center that is ‘colored in’.
It is through the various combinations of definition that all the key properties of a chart are determined. Below I outline the key components that create a Manifestor Energy Type.
1/ THE UNDEFINED SACRAL
Those with a defined Sacral center are the Generators and Manifesting Generators of the world. The Sacral is an energetic fuel source - it creates a consistent energy available to do and create. Having an undefined Sacral (sometimes referred to as ‘open’) leads to inconsistency in the energy available to ‘do’. This is the first key aspect of a Manifestor chart - they will all have an undefined Sacral center.
Manifestor’s are not alone in this, however. Projectors and Reflectors also both carry an undefined Sacral center. It is for this reason that these three Energy Types operate best when they have autonomy over their schedule. They are designed to work in their own unique and inconsistent rhythm - moving with the energy of the body when it hits, and resting when it lulls.
2/ A MOTOR CENTER TO THROAT CONNECTION
The second key aspect of the Manifestor chart (and their point of difference to Projectors and Reflectors), is that they will all have a defined Throat center that is connected to a motor center.
There are four motor centers in the Human Design chart - the Ego, the Solar Plexus, the Root and the Sacral. These are the centers that carry a powerful, physical energy in the body. The Ego creates the energy of willpower. The Solar Plexus fuels us with powerful emotions. The Root center is that of pressure and stress, building up in the system to drive us into action. The Sacral is the energy of life force (though given Manifestors have this center undefined, this motor does not apply for the Throat connection here).
So all Manifestors will have a clear channel of energy that runs from a defined motor center up to their defined Throat center. This is the energetic that drives their powerful voice, their Strategy ‘to inform’ and their strong initiating abilities.
