Nov 9 Human Design Money Archetypes™

Money.

It’s something that our history, stories, and cultural conditioning can say so much about.

Emotions, patterns, behaviors, and reactions to money—they’re all tied to our relationship with money.

We go through life having to deal with money by default, but we usually don’t know why we behave the way we do with it, or where our behaviors come from.

Human Design can reveal why you feel the way you do about money, why you behave the way you do around it, and which archetypes can influence your relationship and experiences with it.

In this article, I’m going to share about Human Design Type as an indicator of your potential interactions with money, and how you can relate to money ways that will facilitate an overall experience of ease and prosperity with it—all while being more you.

Grab a copy of your Human Design chart and then let’s get started.

But first, a Disclaimer: What I’m about to share with you isn’t the “only” way that you can thrive in your relationship with money.

Your Human Design Type is just a part of the story. There are many other factors, archetypes, and influences that can be considered (we get to know those in the Human Design for Financial Nourishment workshop).

Also, you can experience your Type differently than others who have the same Type. So feel into it and see what resonates (or doesn’t) with you personally.

For now, knowing your Type can be a great place to start. But don’t let it box you in. Think of it more like a home base—a place where you can always return to, whenever you feel like you’ve explored too far beyond your authentic capacity.

Ok—here we go!

Human Design Manifestors and Money

True to their name, Manifestors tend to be very good at “manifesting” or creating money. This may seem annoyingly obvious, but sometimes I think it can’t be better explained. When a Manifestor “locks-in” to a creative urge that they’re truly inspired by or excited about, and they pursue it with focus, all of the pieces tend to fall together. It doesn’t always happen with ease (or quickly), but it almost always will happen if they feel it’s the right opportunity for them. Sometimes it seems like Manifestors can create money out of thin air, but really it’s their potent creative energy, focused attention on the things that feel right for them, and their strong intention that gets the money flowing right into their pockets.

Positive Expression: Manifestors can thrive with money when they initiate and act on their creative urges without encountering resistance. When they clearly inform the people around them, they create a path of least resistance, which leads to financial peace for them.

Shadow Expression: Manifestors can struggle when they feel financially restricted or limited. They don’t want money to be the reason that they can’t create what they want (fair enough!). They can also experience their not-self theme of “anger” when they feel financially obligated to do something. Finally, their true nature is to initiate—to get things going. This can sometimes mean making impulsive financial decisions while not informing others (which can create resistance from others).

Reflectors and Money

Reflectors experience the most ease with money when they’re in the right environment and when they’re open to receiving it. Because of the openness in their Human Design chart (they have zero defined Centers), they’re in a prime position to receive. This requires trust, being available for the right kind of support and collaboration, and having really good boundaries. As we know, the act of receiving can be vulnerable for many of us, but when a Reflector feels safe and open to receiving (rather than feeling guarded or like they have to control everything), and they’re in the right environment, with the right people…receiving money, and opportunities that generate money for them comes most naturally to them.

Positive Expression: Reflectors experience their true self themes of “surprise and delight” with money when they align themselves with the most supportive environments and open themselves to the natural flow of life. For women, working with the rhythms of the moon and the ebbs and flows of their own hormonal cycles can help them to anchor in during the ebbs and flows of their financial life. For men, following lunar patterns can work too, but they can also anchor into their daily circadian rhythm and routine (which is more of a male hormonal pattern). This can help them feel grounded within themselves while also allowing in the good that can come from being in a healthy environment.

Shadow Expression: Reflectors can experience “disappointment” with money when they try to control their environment or when their environment isn’t nurturing. Disappointment can also come as a result of financial decisions being made without giving themselves enough time to sample and reflect.

Projectors and Money

Projectors tend to be very good at managing energy and guiding the flow of energy. Money is a form of energy. Some Projectors feel like they have to do so much to make money, while their focus should be less on “generating” or “earning” money and more so on directing the flow of it. Projectors are also naturals when it comes to mastering systems—this could look like creating or facilitating a system that will grow their income (or money) and sharing their skills or systems with other people who will pay them for it. Also, developing their skills and recognizing that their skills are highly valuable (not everyone naturally has them) gives Projectors more confidence to embrace their natural abilities and opens them up to receiving more money.

Positive Expression: Projectors experience “success” with money when they’re true to themselves and then become recognized for their gifts, guidance and/or insights. Being in an environment where they themselves are seen as a valuable asset and where their talents are invited, cherished, and well-compensated for can bring them that sense of success and feeling that they’re appreciated for who they are.

Shadow Expression: Projectors may feel bitterness around money when they feel overlooked or undervalued for their gifts, their financial contributions, or for their work. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and bitterness in their work environment or at home.

Generators and Money (includes Manifesting Generators)

Also true to their name, Generators are good at “generating” money. What does this mean? When a Generator feels a deep sense of fulfillment or satisfaction with what they’re doing, they seemingly have all the energy in the world to put in the hours, to do the things that have to get done, and to serve the needs of others that need serving. When they’re in this flow with their efforts (and they’re open to receiving and enjoying the fruits of them), and when they’re grounded in a sense of self-worth and know that they’re worthy of doing what lights them up, and doing what feels good and most natural to them, then “making” money almost becomes inevitable for Generators.

Positive Expression: When Generators are engaged in work and activities that genuinely satisfy them, they experience a natural flow of financial abundance. Their sense of satisfaction and vitality are like a magnet to the right opportunities, resources, and yes, money!

Shadow Expression: Generators can experience their not-self theme of “frustration” around money when they're not engaging in work or activities that truly satisfies them first. When Generators end up chasing money first, at the expense of their satisfaction, it can lead to frustration and burnout—and ultimately less money in the end.

Now over to you. Which Human Design Type are you?

Which aspect of your Type and money feels resonant?

Remember, you’re a multi-faceted human being and there is a lot more to you than just your Human Design Type.

Hopefully though, if you’re ever feeling a little bit insecure about money or your relationship with it, you can always come back to this information and re-ground yourself in what comes most naturally to your Type.

Always remember this: you are valuable in your own unique and beautiful way. And the world needs you to be more you. That’s your only job.

The more you lean into this, the more deeply resourced you’ll become as a result.

With love,

Korynn
