On Getting Unstuck Using Human Design
We’ve probably all been hearing about (and feeling) the current state of astrology - six planets in retrograde and a seventh to add to the list next week.
I’ve been having multiple conversations over this period about how to find our way forward as this does not feel like a time to rush ourselves to ‘figure it all out’ or to put pressure on clearly defining our strategy for progress (especially with Mercury now in the mix).
Regardless of what the planets are currently doing, I like to follow the belief that clarity is something that comes to us when we are in the right space for it, when we are ready. And so, if you are perhaps feeling a bit stuck and unsure of the direction to take, we can use the guidance of our Energy Type to get ‘ready’ to receive the clarity required. It is when our energy is most aligned that we are best setup to receive.
Read on for a quick tip by Energy Type below. May it help you find a bit of forward movement in the midst of the slow down.

FOR THE MANIFESTORS
Identify for yourself all the ways you may currently be feeling stifled, or a lack of freedom. Be it in the workplace, in friendships, family, or partnership - get clear on all of the spaces in which you feel held back from operating in the way in which you desire. Another way to spot any misalignment is to identify where it is you feel a need to hold your tongue, where you are not expressing your voice as you truly desire.
Once clear on these aspects, explore how you might be able to create more freedom for yourself. Strong reminder here that any shifts you make will be felt in a big way by those you are in connection with, so use your strategy of informing - before you take any action, you want to let others know (compassionately and without asking for permission) what action it is you are taking.
If you are able to create greater freedom for yourself, allowing for uninterrupted flow of your energy, then you are best setup to feel some momentum back in your life and for direction to become clearer.
FOR THE PROJECTORS
For Projectors to feel in their flow, it is essential that your energy is being put towards the spaces, roles and connections where you feel truly valued for your contribution. If there is a dynamic or project in which you feel a need to be strategic or forceful to have your value recognized, then this is likely to be putting a significant strain on your energy (and self-belief!).
Projectors have a deep, deep need for feeling understood and seen. If you are feeling stuck, identify the spaces in which you DO receive this in a nourishing way and take a look at how you might be able to prioritize your energy towards these spaces in a greater way. Explore how you might be able to retrieve some of your energy back from the spaces that aren’t valuing your input. Obviously we all have commitments and contracts that, at times, may require we remain in these roles or spaces, but have a think about how you can engage in a way that is less taxing on your energy.
Particularly focus here on the strain on your emotional energy that may come with attempting to get others to see you in a certain light. When you are able to let go of this uphill battle, and focus on those who see and cherish your gifts, a great amount of energy can be freed up to get you feeling back in your flow.
FOR THE GENERATORS
AND MANIFESTING GENERATORS
The guidance here for Generators and Manifesting Generators is wildly simple - say ‘NO’ to anything that feels draining to your energy and say “YES” to anything that lights you up. The implementation of this, however, is rarely simple. If you are feeling stagnant and uninspired, often the yeses are nowhere in sight. It may feel like nothing lights you up enough to say yes to. On the other hand, it could also, at times, feel impossible to say no to some of the things that are draining to your energy.
The place to start here is to make a list of everything your energy is currently going towards that you prefer it not be. Get granular - down to the conversations you engage in, the clothes you wear, the food you eat, social activities, as well as anything in the workplace and your personal dynamics. Then for each of the aspects on your list, define an alternative that would feel exciting and a preferred use of your energy. Final step is to identify which aspects on the list you can shift over to the exciting approach, beginning right now in this very moment. Even the smallest shift is going to be supportive here.
The more you allow yourself to say no, the more space you create for the exciting opportunities to come through and re-spark that uplifting Sacral energy.
FOR THE REFLECTORS
First step here is to review the environments you are currently operating in. Not just the spaces themselves, but also the people in them and their energy. You are constantly picking up on your surroundings at every moment of every day in a very significant way. You are likely very aware of this part of self. In fact, the more aware you are, the more there may be a tendency to ‘just deal with it’ when you find yourself in environments that are negatively impacting your energy.
One of the key pieces of guidance for Reflectors it to try to set yourself up in such a way that you have some sense of control over your environments, especially those you are required to be in frequently. So have a think about if there are any spaces that may lead you to feeling trapped and unable to remove yourself. Is there an an action you could take here create a little more flexibility and freedom to move?
In addition to this, a review of the ways in which you are ‘resetting’ your energy can be hugely impactful here. Reflectors need time alone (even if only briefly) to flush out all that they have picked up on throughout the day. If you are feeling particularly stuck, and you are someone who shares a home or a bed with another, then it could even be worth having an evening sleeping alone in your own energy. The flushing out is key for creating harmony and flow in the system.
