The basis of the chart

Five Types

Type is the first thing people learn about their chart. It tells you how your energy works and by what rule to make decisions so you don’t have to push life by force.

How many people of each Type

Generators and Manifesting Generators together make up about seventy percent, Projectors roughly twenty, Manifestors nine, Reflectors about one. From this follows a simple thing: if it seems to you that “everyone around is built differently,” you’re most likely a Projector or a Manifestor, and the world really isn’t tuned to you.

Type isn’t character

It doesn’t say whether you’re kind or mean, clever or lazy. It answers one single question: how you should enter things. Respond to what’s offered, wait for the invitation, inform others of your steps or wait out a lunar month. Everything else — character, upbringing, health and yesterday — the chart doesn’t know and can’t know.

That’s why phrases like “he’s a Projector, he shouldn’t work” do harm rather than inform. A Projector can work; they need a different schedule. The difference is huge.

Type without Authority only half works

Type is responsible for entering a situation, and inner Authority — for the choice itself. Waiting for the invitation (Type) and then deciding with your head instead of your body (Authority) — and it’s wrong again. They have to be read as a pair, and it’s easier to start with Type: it’s bigger and more noticeable.
