Generators (35.9%) provide the energy for the workforce. They are the true builders, designed to lay the groundwork for success. Their role is not to initiate ideas but to contribute through hard work. However, they must find their Right Work; otherwise, they may feel unfulfilled. While they can continue working due to their defined Sacral energy, they need to pursue something that brings them deep satisfaction. Generators respond to their environment and what is happening around them.
A Generator has a defined Sacral Center, recognized as the body’s most powerful motor. This center is responsible for workforce energy and life force energy. The Sacral Center provides a source of sustainable energy that can be sustained indefinitely. While all motors exhibit some degree of wave-like, inconsistent behavior, the Sacral Center is unique in maintaining consistent energy output. Its purpose encompasses providing resources and education, raising children, and caring for the family, tribe, and community. Ultimately, it focuses on work in various forms, emphasizing the importance of sustainability in all these tasks.
The Generator does not have a motor connected to the Throat Center. It can connect either the Ajna Center or the Spleen Center to the Throat. While it’s possible for the G Center (or Identity Center) to connect to the Throat, a pure Generator will never have a connection from the Will Center, Emotional Solar Plexus, or Root Center to the Throat.
The Generator Strategy: Wait to Respond
The Generator aims to respond to the Right Work. Because Generators have a defined Sacral, they can work hard and fake their way through many different jobs. But there is a difference between a Generator who has a job, and a Generator who has the Right Work. When a Generator finds the Right Work, it unleashes enormous amounts of energy—exhaustion, boredom, and feeling burned out actually come from not doing the Right Work.
The Generator needs to learn to follow the guidance of the Sacral center. This unique design helps place the Generator in the right situation at the right time. For those inexperienced in responding, it’s essential to experiment with your Sacral response. Try not to initiate anything for the next four weeks and observe what happens!
When the Sacral responds to the Right Work, the Generator experiences an immense amount of energy. A Generator who is genuinely engaged in the Right Work doesn’t feel the need to take vacations, and their need for sleep decreases. The Generator’s purpose is to discover the Right Work and master it. Through repetition, they develop expertise in their Right Work. This work presents itself to them, and they respond to it rather than creating it from their imagination.
The Sacral gets turned on by two sounds. When these sounds are emitted, the Sacral can find its truth. The Sacral Center is pretty far away from the head. So when you are operating from rudimentary life force energy, if you have to stop and use words, you’re talking out of your head. This energy is far away from your Sacral. Your Sacral Center is your compass, your navigational tool for your life. It will guide you, telling you where to go, when to do something, and what to do. The way in which you are to bypass your head is by making two sounds: uh-huh and un-unh. It’s life force energy. The uh-huh and the un-unh turn the Sacral on. That’s your truth. The gut feelings are for the Generators. The gut is the source of the truth.
The key to awakening your Sacral Center is to have someone ask you questions that are answered with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no,‘ but in this way: ‘yes’ is ‘uh-huh,’ and ‘no’ is ‘un-unh.’ That’s your truth. This is because the Sacral can’t lie. There’s no energy for lying in the Sacral; the Sacral always knows the truth.
Generators often feel stuck on their journey to mastering a skill or subject. This is because it is natural for them to encounter plateaus in their learning process. They experience a stair-step learning curve: as they apply themselves, they develop their skills, but then they hit a plateau, leaving them feeling stuck and frustrated. Frustration is essentially the buildup of momentum and energy that prepares them for the next cycle of expansion and growth. When a Generator doesn’t understand this process of achieving mastery, they may be tempted to quit. However, mastery cannot be achieved without repetition.
The Generator Aura. The aura is an invisible energy field that surrounds all living creatures, extending about 6 feet in every direction. Its frequency communicates who we are to others and governs how we impact or connect with others. The Generator aura is open and enveloping, but not personal. Generators literally generate the planet’s life force.
Generators and sleep have some unique challenges. For Generators to achieve a good night’s sleep, they need to expend energy daily. If they have trouble sleeping, it may be because they aren’t effectively using their Sacral Center. When Generators feel tired, they need to go to bed right away; waiting for a second wind can disrupt their sleep. They require physical activity, not just prolonged desk sitting, as the latter won’t effectively wear out their Sacral Center. Therefore, if you’re a Generator struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, consider increasing your physical exercise to help fully expend your energy.
Quantum Purpose of the Generator (per Karen Curry Parker): to physically manifest creativity and express through devotion. Devotion means you do it again and again until you get it right.

Hi. I’m a Generator and I feel lost.
I know about astrology, and recently discovered the Human Design and that I’m a generator.
I’m in a period of transition in my life. I had been thinking about leaving my job working at a desk all day in front of a computer for over two years now, and last week I ended up making a rash decision and quit my job. Now I’m regretting my decision. I know this isn’t the job I want for myself, but at the same time I don’t know where to go and what to do. I need some guidance on how to listen to my gut and find my purpose. I also need to know if my decision was too rash and if I should go back for the time being while I figure things out.
Thank you,
Frederik
Hi, Frederik. Thank you for contacting me.
When you can no longer do a job, you’re burned out. The burnout could be physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or all of these. A Generator needs to love the work that they do. When you truly enjoy your work, you find that you have endless energy to support you in doing that work. When you are not doing the right work, and you don’t love that work, despite the fact that you have access to sustainable energy because of your defined Sacral, you will eventually burn out. Frequently, the cause of burnout for a Generator is failure to RESPOND; that is, to listen to their Sacral. Your Sacral knows what’s best for you. Your Sacral will keep you aligned with your correct work.
The Generator Strategy is to wait to respond! If you don’t respond to opportunities that are offered from outside of yourself (the external world), and instead decide to take a leap, you are working against your strategy. When you don’t allow your Sacral to respond, you will find yourself leaping head first into situations that are not correct for you, possibly going from the frying pan into the fire. When you don’t allow your Sacral to respond, you will spin your wheels over and over BECAUSE you have put yourself in the wrong situation. When you want to quit a job or any situation, ask your Sacral if it is OK to quit right now, is it good to wait another several weeks/ several months? How often should you check in with your Sacral? Until you become familiar with your personal Sacral response.
Quitting a job on impulse (and I understand your dissatisfaction and discomfort has been building for a while) circumvents your correct Strategy for dealing with just such situations, and will likely put you in a worse place. If you have the funds to take care of your expenses, then you have a safety net. But if you depend on the income from your job to take care of your food and shelter and so forth, it is not wise to do this. The only time it is wise to leave a situation is if you are imperiled in some way. But if we are talking about boredom, perhaps a boss or co-workers who are not the most supportive, this is not a good reason to leave. If you need cash flow, I suggest you try to get your job back or find another one right away. Sometimes we have to make do with what is in order to keep body and soul together. In the meantime, you can work on getting to know your Sacral response and getting clear on the kind of work you want to do.
To wake up your Sacral, begin by asking yourself questions that have no charge to them and that can only be answered with a yes or no. You do not ask open-ended questions! Simple yes or no questions like: do I want some ice cream right now? Would I like to have a cup of tea? Do I want to see a movie? Then, after your sacral is warmed up, you can move on to questions that you really want the answers to.
If you find yourself hesitating, you’re allowing your mind, or stinkin’ thinkin,’ to take over. Once analysis sets in, it is deadly to your truth because you’ve moved away from your Sacral and into your head.
Your mind will not help you connect to your truth. It cannot RESPOND to your truth. Once you’ve established your truth, then you can use your mind to figure out strategy and logistics, but only AFTER you know your truth. That is, whether or not something has been determined by your Sacral to be correct for you. The response from your Sacral comes from your body’s wisdom about what is right for you. Once you’ve established your truth, then you can go for it.
Again, it is your Sacral that can respond to what is correct for you, or not. You are meant to find your right work — work that is truly fulfilling and makes you want to leap out of bed each morning. You are not meant to give your energy away to tasks, projects, or commitments that do not honor your energy, that do not use it correctly, and that do not recognize its real value. Even though as a Sacral Being you have a great deal of energy, you will not enjoy giving your energy to tasks that are not correct for you. Overriding the Sacral’s intuition of what is correct for you eventually leads to burnout – emotional, mental, and physical.
While you are waiting for things to improve, it’s a good idea to do things that are fun for you, that make you happy. Finding ways to enjoy your life is always important, but especially so when other parts of your life are not working for you.
All is not lost. This is a learning situation for you to develop a deeper understanding of how to deal with challenges, and for you to understand your impulses and needs better. Life is a lot about waiting for right timing as well as being ready for the next thing, and also having the right skills and qualifications for something you want to do.
Blessings,
Gloria
