Staying In The Familiar As A Projector
Human Design, Unearthing Projectorhood
“So when you feel like playing small with your gifts or going minuscule with your personal magic, just remember that someone is always watching you.
And that someone is always your highest you.”
In my experience with supporting countless Projectors, here is what I observe that keeps one feeling disempowered and playing small in one’s design:
♡
Ignoring the wisdom of their bodies and letting the mind get in the way
All of us Projectors, except mental Projectors (outer authority) are here to be deeply attuned to our bodies. How it shows up; how quickly, how slow, varies with each individual and is dependent on each individual authority. None is better than the other, none is easier than the other. Our authority is our unique inherent energetic guidance. Our inner compass; is one that lies latent in us.
Yet oftentimes, I see one unconsciously letting the chatters and conundrums of their mind overrule their unique authority and therefore making a mind-based decision. In Human Design, we learn the roles of our mind and how it never houses any decision-making system. We also understand how we may potentially be living life in our not-self and heal them. If anything, Human Design encourages you to lean back, pause often, pay attention, observe what comes up and hone your relationship with your body more than ever.
What is your authority? What is your relationship and practice with it? Do you often ignore its nudges or bodily cues? Do you often override it because of your mind or because of what others/society/our loved ones think is best for you? If you are a mental Projector, do you curate your environment carefully, are the people around you listening or telling you what is best for you?

Feeling disempowered in their divinity
Oftentimes, I come across many Projectors who become extremely bitter and annoyed when they first learn about themselves as Projectors. In their experimentation, they become self-critical and critical of the people around them. They approached the awareness of their design through a distorted lens and only perceived the lowest expression of their unique divinity and its lack thereof, ignoring their inherent strengths and uniqueness. Feeling powerless and resentful of the amount of de-conditioning they had to do, clamming up from the world, living life passively, not putting themselves out there, fearing things will fail before it begin because of their energy type/profile lines/channels, believing they are doomed, dismissing their Projector’s receptivity and gifts, ignoring the healing work, withdrawing from old friends because they don’t get it, feeling more isolated in their journey…
No self-discovery tool is designed to ever dim one’s light or make you feel boxed. If anything, it holds a powerful reminder for you to amplify your light and embrace your darkness.
Human Design is a profound system that illuminates and distills what makes you unique and different as an individual —it is a logical, mechanical system. Yes there are some “guidelines” are there to encourage you to explore and experiment with its mechanics and find out if/how it works for you. But they should not make you feel regimental or powerless. Human Design is the science of differentiation that is here to empower not limit.
Yet, it can be implied and perceived in the wrong way if it was not introduced or taught correctly hence, having an embodied and empowered reader/expert to guide you through understanding this awareness is paramount. (Check out my 1:1 HD sessions if you feel called to be seen here.)

Do not believe they are innately deserving of their Projector success
This is a huge piece for most Projectors.
Many, even being in the experiment for a while, do not consciously believe that living a life of ease, spaciousness, correct recognition, invitations and their unique version of Projector Success is within their reach. When one does not rewire or heal their beliefs, how will one prime their natural Projector’s receptivity states to attract the most aligned relationships, invitations, opportunities and synchronicities their way?
In Human Design, our Signature as Projectors is success.
It happens when we are living in the highest alignment with our unique divinity. Even as Projectors, success can mean differently to every one of us. Many of us spent our entire lives not consciously connected to what success means to us and perhaps adopting other people’s vision, goals and ideas of success as our own.
When we clarify what they represent, then will we be able to consciously create a new reality by reprogramming our subconscious and finally choosing ourselves, instead of what our loved ones/social media/society may deem success to be. One’s success codes may evolve and change over time, and that is the beauty of it.
In this current chapter of my life, my Projector Success Codes are spaciousness, freedom, impact and expansion.
Explore my Projector Success Codes Workshop, a self-paced and fun workshop that focuses on clarifying what your Projector success codes are and how they show up for you in your life. Don’t forget to share them with me afterward!
“Surrendering is not about inaction, indifference and passivity.
Surrendering is about holding the frequency of deep trust. It bears the seed of acceptance. It is about being and holding the vision for what is yours will always magnetise its way to you.”

Forcing rather than flowing
Our Projector aura is mechanically wired for receptivity, it naturally thrives when we lean into the feminine energetics of being and flowing. Surrendering. The opposite of surrendering is control, one that runs parallel with power, action, results, productivity and accomplishment in its highest expression.
A theme of the masculine energy. Yet, at its lowest nature, it is a theme that binds all of humanity together with a common thread of suffering and pain. As Projectors, it can present itself through bitterness, chronic fatigue and burn out.
Control is necessary and progressive when it instills structure, and resources and is managed by the healthy feminine integration of compassion, wisdom, trust and grace. Control at its lower nature is reactive. The root of it demands expectations and fosters actions/reactions out of fears of rejection and inadequacy.
Know that our Universe ONLY wants to give us all of our heart’s desires. And as a Projector, this receptivity state can only be optimized if we practice true surrender and if we retain a high self-worth consciousness and frequency. To receive. It involves a deep surrender and trust in oneself and our Universe. Learning to lean back, pulling the brakes, slowing down, choosing gratitude and presence, not forcing our knowledge/wisdom/guidance/ on others, mastering the art of active waiting, and aligning the best decisions with our unique authority, and honoring our very being… all this does not happen overnight. It takes time, and it is fluid and non-linear, but most importantly, it is never forceful.

Not finding community
As we lead up to 2027, many more people will wake up.
Waking up to the importance of self-awareness, self-Understanding, self-contemplation, and self-expression, we are arriving at a time where Individualism reigns. We are also simultaneously being steered towards heart-led communications and authentic, intimate and liked-minded connections.
The truth is, we are always going to be surrounded by sacral beings (they are 70% of the population!! this is the dance of Humanity we sign up for as Projectors). And as we understand more of the differences in our energetic configurations between us, it is important to remind ourselves to not measure ourselves with them. It is so important to have Projectors in your life who can remind you of that and remind you of your unique divinity. After all, with our auras, we always can see the other deeply, but not very much for ourselves.
Yes, you may have that sibling, good friend or colleague who may be a Projector. But a conscious and unconscious Projector are miles apart. And so is an empowered and disempowered Projector. Regardless of your profile, circuitry, and defined and undefined centers, it is important to recognize that as humans, we are all here for human connections. We are all wired to connect.
Are you currently surrounded by like-minded individuals? Do you currently have conscious and empowered Projector friends in your life that remind you of your unique divinity and need for intentional rest, support you in your authority and make you feel seen and recognized? Do they honor your boundaries and need for energetic mastery? Can you finally let go of those who do not make you feel seen, heard and recognized?

ignoring the healing work in their deconditioning
What is deconditioning if it is not a devotion to your personal healing
and alignment to your unique divinity?
There is so much power when we take the contemplative path and do the healing work during our deconditioning. Most of us Projectors played ourselves small from a very young age. We developed and held onto adopted notions/mindsets/behaviors from our caregivers, media, societies and environment. We accepted that fitting in was key to feeling safe and belonged; that “It’s how it was always being done”, that “I know what is best for you”…
When we acknowledge and embrace what makes us unique through our design, we open up a well of gentle spaciousness, grace, self-compassion, self-mastery and curiosity. We carry this confidence and tenacity to sift through old conditionings and falsehoods that were not ours to take up in the first place.
Healing work is often overlooked when one first discovers Human Design, but one will eventually realize that this profound awareness carries the overarching theme of healing at every step of the way. In all of my 1:1 sessions, the topic of healing through one’s defined and undefined centers is a non-negotiable so one can begin to hold compassion for oneself. Themes such as overextending oneself, people-pleasing tendencies, feeling scattered, inability to know when enough is enough, fearing to be seen, inability to let go, etc, are some examples that may come up in understanding our bodygraph chart.
In the TPR mentorship program, we adopt a powerful technique of diving into the greater depths of understanding areas of one’s conditionings, potentials, strengths and misalignment through their HD chart so that one can support themselves in their personal healing and highest potential alignment. It is an introspective dance of honoring both shadow and light.
Listen to one of my favorite healing songs here. It is called “Healing is happening” by the beautifully wise Rebecca Campbell.
Change happens in our lives when we take a series of empowered and practical actions toward a different reality every single day— a reality that is opposite from what kept you familiar for far too long.
It means be-friending uncertainty and trust, it means choosing love over fear(mind) at every instance, doing the healing work, aligning your actions, emotions, and thoughts with them, allowing time, not instant gratification, and most of all, a deep commitment and dedication to honor your divinity, usher change and live a different reality.
Are you ready to say goodbye to what keeps you in your familiarity?
Are you ready to rise beyond what keeps you small and do the healing to rise to what our Projector’s natural receptivity requires?
You always have a choice and are always a decision away from change.
to your divinity–
as always, stay soft, stay courageous and fortified my Projector.
