Generator: strategy, authority and how common the type is

The type depends on which centers are defined and how the channels connect. A Generator has a defined Sacral, the center of life force, while none of the motors (Sacral, Heart, Solar Plexus, Root) is linked to the Throat through a chain of channels. If such a link exists, the type counts as a Manifesting Generator instead.

The calculation needs a date, time and place of birth: the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets at birth and about three months earlier (when the Sun stood 88 degrees back) decide which gates and channels are switched on. This is a self-knowledge system created in 1987, not a science, and it works best as a set of questions to ask yourself.

The Generator strategy is simple: respond. Instead of inventing what to do, notice how your body answers to what has already appeared nearby: an offer, a question, a task, an idea, a person. The response is usually short and physical: a lift, warmth, a wish to carry on, or the opposite, a sinking or tightening.

In daily life you can test it with small experiments. Ask yourself a question that has a yes or no answer and catch the first reaction before the arguments start. Ask people close to you to phrase questions the same way: 'do you want to see a film?' is easier to check than 'what shall we do?'. A big decision can be split into a series of small yes or no questions.

According to the system, when a Generator spends energy on things that do not light them up, frustration builds: work is getting done but nothing feels satisfying. It is not a diagnosis, only a marker you can treat as a hint.

If frustration shows up regularly, ask what you agreed to out of duty or habit and what could be cut back. The system calls the opposite signal satisfaction: a sense that the day went on something that is truly yours.

Strengths usually listed are stamina in work that engages you, the ability to finish what you start and a skill that grows with repetition. When the response is there, people are often surprised by how much they can do.

Difficulties tend to come from the fact that a missing response is hard to notice if you were raised to be useful. Another trap is saying yes out of politeness and getting stuck in something that drains you. It helps to avoid answering at once when the question cannot be reduced to yes or no.

In relationships a Generator usually benefits from a partner who can ask questions that are answerable by response and does not demand decisions out of thin air. An honest 'not sure yet' works better than a forced agreement.

At work the system suggests looking for tasks you are pulled toward and trying them in small steps. This is not a promise of income: money depends on the market, skills and circumstances, and the type chart only offers a way to choose activities. If something responds, you have a better chance of staying with it for the long run.

In our calculation on 2000 random birth dates from 1950-2005, 36.9% of people turned out to be Generators. It is the most common of the five types, followed by the Manifesting Generator (32.8%).

Authority, the way of making decisions, splits into two among Generators in our sample: sacral in 56.2% and emotional in 43.8%. The sacral authority relies on an instant bodily response. The emotional one needs time: clarity arrives in waves, and it is better to decide once feelings have settled.

By kind of definition: split in 51.7%, single in 32.8%, triple split in 14.2%, quadruple split in 1.2%. A split means two or more separate areas of definition in the chart, and other people often act as the bridge between them.
