As a Human Design Manifestor, you are designed to break free from the status quo, and create the unprecedented. 

Manifestors have a fire-starter energy. However, many Manifestors grow up with limitations and disempowering belief systems placed upon them. For instance, parents of young Manifestors worry that they might get themselves into trouble, given their naturally curious and ‘daredevil’ spirit, and hence unwittingly exert control on them. 

Even though parents have the best intentions for their children, these Manifestors grow up being conditioned to believe that it’s best they do not innovate, attempt anything new, or take the unconventional route… as it’s only a matter of time that someone (aka a force of resistance) would stop them.

But what ultimately happens is that the creative energies of Manifestors become repressed. Because energy cannot be destroyed and can only be converted, Manifestors start channeling that fiery energy onto themselves, creating a dense, unyielding barrier between them and the world around them.  

This is called the ‘Enduring Pattern,’ which causes them to fight themselves as a way to protect any last shred of their sovereignty… before anyone gets to them first. This belief that they’ll be controlled and opposed by an external authority, through being authentically themselves, is rooted in their lived experiences. 

And, in turning their warrior spirit against themselves, Manifestors unintentionally stop the FLOW of their energy. They feel purposeless or ‘powerless’ in their ability to create, activate and innovate, because their enduring pattern is rejecting the relevant support that fuels movement and transformation. In their shadow expression, a disempowered Manifestor believes they’re destined to feel alone in their relationships with others. 

This lone-wolfing tendency leads to frequent burnouts (because they believe they have to go solo to avoid confrontation with others) and difficulty in allowing others to support them in bringing their vision into form (due to the fear of being potentially controlled or having their creative flow disrupted).

Though Manifestors are independent and potentially resourceful individuals, at their core they desire to be trusted (and to trust) and feel supported in the right relationships that honor their autonomy. 

As a Manifestor, you’d want the right people, relationships and course of actions to expand you, to make you feel powerfully challenged for even greater transformation. So, when you begin to feel like you have to tinker down your standards or repress your own desire to act and express yourself, that’s when you get to check in and reassess your choices as a sovereign being. 

You have the potential to be super innovative. And, because of how tremendously impactful your energy is, as an innovator, activator and fire-starter, there’s only 8-10% of your energy type in the world. (I believe that Creation/Nature is intelligent, and proportions each energy type correctly for harmony in the grand scheme of things.)

You are the epitome of the fire-bird emblem, the Phoenix. You embody transformation, personal freedom and sovereignty – and this is exactly what the world currently is seeking more than ever.

Your greatest impact can be felt when you CREATE your own path – which includes setting your own standards from a place of deep trust within you.

You embody your vision and standards. Instead of just talking about your vision, you walk, breathe and live it. That’s when your superpower of The Activator really SHINES through. This is your divine purpose. This is the best gift you can give to others as a Manifestor.
