2/4 Emotional Generator

If your character is that of the 2/4 then you have a fascinating tension running in the background of your life all the time. The 2nd Line, that “2” in your Profile, is known as the “Hermit” because this part of you wants nothing more than to potter around inside your own home without being disturbed.

You love being alone to do your own thing. You are blissfully unaware of how incredible you are and others find that astonishing!

But this part of you cares not for what others are up to and finds immense solace in solitude. Left to its own devices, this part of you would never leave your secure, sacred space.

However, you are not just one part, you are two. And herein lies the tension because your “other half” is something of an extrovert. Your 4th Line self (the “4” in your Profile) wants company.

This part of you gets lonely when you’ve been hiding away too long and that loneliness is useful because it drives you to get out of your secure little cave and actually talk to people.

Talking to people is essential for the 4th Line to live into its potential. Known as the “Opportunist” this part of you intuitively knows that your best opportunities will come to you through the people you know.

Emotional Inner Authority does not mean you’re designed to make decisions based on your emotions or that you’re necessarily an overly emotional person. It means that you need to reach emotional clarity or neutrality before you know if the thing is a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ for you.

Forget trying to make on-the-spot decisions; you’ll end up regretting it later.

Try sleeping on it or at the very least, wait a full day or two. You’ll know it’s time to choose when the correct decision is obvious.

The third and final part of that shorthand label we use for your Human Design is what we call “Type”. Type refers to how your aura (or energy field) relates to others and the world around you.

It can show you a huge amount about how to make any and all relationships work better and is often the first thing people will ask you if they know anything about Human Design.

There are five Types in Human Design (though many teachers choose to split the world’s population into four Types instead of five. At this point in my Human Design journey, having heard endless arguments from both sides of the fence, I’ve come to the conclusion that neither is perfect and I simply choose to focus on what’s useful).

Each Type group is here to do something a bit (or a lot!) different from the other Types. And that’s perfect because we can’t all do the same thing. After all, how boring would that be?!

If you are a Generator, then you are here to find and do work you love. What are you going to pour your energy into? Is it building something, or raising children, or running a company, or something entirely different?

There is something you are here to do that you’ll love doing soooo much you would do it for free. If that’s not your reality right now, your number one job is to find that thing.

Ask yourself: What’s the one thing that just the thought of doing it lights you up so much that you can’t believe people get paid to do it. That’s your thing to do in this life, or at least, at this point in your life.

Note: You’ll find this thing by responding to opportunities as they come to you. Forget about taking your ideas and trying to make them happen. That will only lead to more frustration.

Instead, know that life will bring you your ideal “work” and you’ll know it’s right for you because your whole body will go “yes, yes, yes! That’s my thing!”
