Unless You’re Asked, There Is Nothing To Do
The ‘Projector’ type of the Human Design system is waiting to be invited from a position of appreciation. Projectors are assured performers, contributors, directors, organizers, managers, guides, visionaries and conductors of affairs. Projectors are estimated to be 20 per cent of the world’s population.
Waiting For The Invitation Vs Initiating
As a Projector, your true nature requires you to be recognized first if you want to experience personal fulfillment. Without it resentment and bitterness raise to the surface and create roadblocks to your success. It’s a natural law that people will find themselves drawn to you. Being noticed is intrinsic to who you are.
If as a Projectors you feel you are often observing and waiting to be asked for your involvement and contribution, you may want to learn to wait for the invitation rather than initiate involvement. This way you feel ‘seen’, understood and valued for all you offer and contribute.
Initiating distracts you from noticing things like an invitation. Initiating distorts the frequencies of your beauty and radiance and gifts. What is initiating? “Doing” anything to get noticed. Notice when you are making up justifications, reasons, excuses, validation or rationalization to initiate things. Watch out for when you are defining ‘invitations’ to suit yourself.
When someone is naturally drawn to the qualities within you, it is important that you first receive recognition if you are to be effective. Recognition and invitation light up your being.
What Is The Invitation You Are Waiting For?
An invitation that includes a recognition of your unique qualities would receive your full attention. An invitation can of course be gold-embossed when it includes a recognition. Cloaked invitations can sometimes appear as a question, a glance, a smile, something can feel inviting by your own interest. Like an inner sense that you are being drawn towards something, like a calling.
An invitation is anything or anyone seeking your involvement while genuinely recognizing your qualities. The recognition needs to be authentic and respect your worth. Your true nature requires appreciation.
While Projectors are often collaborating with other types it is important in high-pressured, high-energy environments that you don’t adopt the ‘go, go, go’ of everyone else. This will blow your internal fuse. Your energy works better in short bursts. Fatigue and exhaustion are your Achilles’ heel. Be wary of trying to keep up with other types, you will only exhaust yourself to the point of near collapse.
You are here to direct the energy not to be the doer. Take breaks often, a siestas or catnap or just quiet time to yourself. Your energetic body requires your attention. Don’t override your inner resistance and convince yourself to go beyond your own energy.
Avoid Initiating Attention
The quickest way to feel unseen is to try to be seen. It’s your frequency that pulls the correct things to you. When you take the lead by initiating action before you have been asked or invited you will find yourself alone. If you are tempted to rush ahead of the recognition-invitation process you will feel resistance and bitterness in your own body. This is not what leads you to what you desire.
Wait for the recognition-invitation process. It makes the world of difference to your comfort level. Each projector is waiting for an invitation that recognizes their unique traits. In an individual session this can be defined for clarity.
Learn to enjoy the lulls in life, have a great comfy place you retreat to – to recharge and relax. You need rest to replenish to bring your best self forward. This doesn’t make you ‘lazy’ but a wise steward of your own resources.
As A Projector
You’re able to identify with an inner pressure to be recognized for your gifts and abilities. If you often feel overlooked, learning patience with the invitation can ease bitterness and resentment in your life. In all your relationships recognition and invitation are vital. You like to be recognized for your worth and invited to do things.
Projectors are experts at guiding a relationship and suggesting ways to improve or enhance relations, when asked; you provide a balanced perspective.
As a Projector, what you achieve in life tends to depend on allowing yourself to be drawn into the right company and the right environment. With the right people in the right environment your gifts and abilities are truly recognized, you’ll feel empowered. The difference between being recognized and not recognized is day and night to you. It’s essential to your sense of well-being and satisfaction. Once you understand working with an invitation you can begin to sort through the correct invitations for you.
Recognition means everything to you as a Projector – it brings out your best to shine in the light!

Having a Human Design reading with Ema is all about learning the mechanics of being the best you, based on how you were designed to operate. She shares with you the key information that is like an "instruction manual" for living with the most ease in your life. It can also help you understand the similarities and differences with your loved ones, which can support fluidity in relationships based on design... She's compassionate, knowledgeable, fun, and tuned-in. I highly recommend working with her.
Finding Ema was like finding a gem. She helped me to understand my complex nature, and was able to relate the information to me on a very deep and human level. She has a very dynamic body of knowledge and tools that enable her to adapt to my complex needs and problems. I have had therapists and different teachers over the years, but there is usually a professional boundary which is necessary to protect the worker's energy reserves. However, Ema is different in that she has found ways to be able to relate her incredibly healing compassion without putting up walls while maintaining professional boundaries. She has an enormous heart and although she is highly qualified for a professional relationship, I consider her like family.
As a life coach Ema is focused, extremely skilled, and genuinely invested in my personal fulfillment! Her detailed information has clarified perceptions I have stored in my heart and mind for a lifetime even after previous counseling. Her capacity to hold and simply communicate the information flow is so impressive. But most important to me is her guidance in applying this to my life moving forward. So glad I entrusted Ema with my inner world.
Thank you, Ema, for introducing me to my Human Design. It was very helpful to learn that as a Projector, I should wait for the invitation that recognizes my unique qualities before entering into a relationship or situation, to avoid feeling resentful or bitter later on. Learning to wait rather than initiate is life changing! BL
I had a great Human Design reading with Ema recently. I was surprised by some of the insights she revealed to me, many of which I had never heard before even after many readings of other kinds.
She told me things about my innate personality that helped me make sense out of challenges I have, and put them in perspective.
I would highly recommend Ema's readings for anyone looking for deeper self-understanding and expression.
Thank you so much. As a projector, knowing my design now for over 3 years, I feel nowhere near to correct waiting…as in waiting for the invitation.For over fifty years I have behaved like a manifestor. Could be the reason that I sit in a wheelchair. One of my greatest tasks is to BE IN THE MOMENT. THANKS FOR CONNECTING, Beate
Hello Beate,
Thank you for your comment. This seems to be an issue for many projectors. I have seen many projector’s behaving as a manifestor. Being in the moment is of course key. The other thing to remember is: If you’re not being asked…there is nothing to do. Such a relief really.
I’m sorry you are in a chair. It is amazing how operating incorrectly causes so much pain and suffering in our life. The greatest gift Human Design has offered me personally is to focus on operating correctly and helping those I love to operate correctly in their life. It truly has created a world of difference. I invite you to wait and to develop the art of waiting. Projectors need to rest, resting is a great pass-time while waiting. That and studying something you are passionate about. Blessings on your journey.
