Generator
A type in Human Design, reported in the system's own words.
Human Design calls a chart a Generator when it has the Sacral defined and no motor joined to the Throat. Its strategy, in the system's words: "To respond".


A typical pattern, not a chart: the Sacral defined, joined to the Root and the G, and no motor reaching the Throat.

They carry a defined Sacral center, an open, enveloping aura, and a deep, renewable source of life-force energy. When a Generator does work they genuinely love, they light up the room and can keep going for hours; when they push into work that is not right for them, that same energy turns leaden and stuck.
