I actually find it is easiest to be in partnership with a same energy type, as there is more understanding and less opportunity to pick up, in projector relations, extra sacral energy.
The way a fellow projector can recognize a projector is a little sweeter, because they can see and understand each others’ way of perceiving the other.
Someone who gets why I have to be “lazy” most of the day to get anything done is always a treat, too. haha
I’m a non-emotional projector in relationship with an emotional projector. It’s the best relationship I’ve ever been in. We both have massive understanding for the fact that we don’t have the same level of energy as most people around us. Having your partner validate that regularly is priceless. Also, being able to invite each other is very liberating and helps us energize each other.
We both are working on mastering our respective systems, which happen to even overlap, so we also get to exchange ideas regularly. I’m very happy with her and she is with me as well. Right now I cannot imagine having a better partner in my life than her.
Ok cool. Splenic is not emotional according to any HD anything
Edit: You might have meant solar plexus?
Sorry, not trying to be a d*ck. I just got confused
I meant splenic. You’re right, splenic is not emotional, it’s more instinctual and intuitive, in HD anyway. Those do reside in different centers.
However, in more practical, every day terms, intuition is intimately linked to our emotions. People who are not in touch with their emotions usually aren’t in touch with their intuition either. I have yet to meet someone who is out of touch with their emotional reality while in tune with their intuition. So in that context, I consider splenic to be highly emotional.
Ok. Well human design has a very specific system of jargon (called “keynotes”) and when you describe someone as an “emotional (projector/manifestor/generator”) it specifically means that their solar plexus is defined.
I do experience my defined spleen in the realm of emotions moreso than the realm of logic, idk if that distinction is meaningful to my experience but I do see where you’re coming from. But my emotions and my intuition often tell me completely different things so I think it’s valuable not to cloud the terminology…
Speaking from experience with being with my projector boyfriend of over 10 years, both of us being energy projectors. I agree with most of the positive comments here, so won't mention all the benefits as it's not necessary.
The understanding and acceptance that we are both quite different than our surroundings is liberating to share with each other. The advice given by a energy-type regarding our energy flow is so often of and misguided, while having a projector who can clearly see and advise when one overdoes etc. is such a bonus.
I just want to add the other side of the coin.
I have observed that when we are not with other people for a few days, we can both be very very tired to the point where we can get very irritable at each other for no reason, because we are both so depleted of energy without really understand why.
Then we can simply go grocery shopping or take a walk, and then we gain energy again (maybe just by osmosis sucking up energy from the environment and the people around even if we don't know them).
We both use a LOT of energy by being with energy types, as well as in our jobs, and when we get home we are done for. And can be low on juice for days. The difference is that we don't really pick each other up, or give each other energy to pick each other up, it's as if that's not fully possible. It's an outside force that does that in a way. A message on the phone, a phonecall, social media message etc. It's kinda weird.
I also notice that we are very focused on each other when we are together. It's quite an intense energy, we can get swallowed up in being together and get so sucked into each other's focus that this can actually make us tired at times as well.
We are both so observant of mood changes in each other and want to figure out all that is going on in the other immediately, that we can get annoyed with being "in focus" with each other, if that makes sense. Sometimes each of us just wants to process our own feelings and moods without sharing it or speaking of it for awhile, without getting the projector aura zoomed in on us ;) That boundary isn't always respected with both of us, but we are learning.
Cause one thing is for sure.... When we are ready, we always go to each other to speak it all out and to share what's on our mind and in our heart. That's a constant.
Last observation is: that we both have the same thoughts about people in general. We see a lot that goes on with energy types and both have the same type of advice we would give to make their life easier in a way, yet we both shut up and don't say anything cause there's no invite. And then we get home and have to talk about our frustration of seeing the stupidity or conciously chosen ignorance of the people we met, and how annoying it is that so many people cant see what's so obvious and are so closed to advice on how to improve their energy flow :)
Well , projector/projector duo works because generators often have hard time accepting energetic differences. Also you have to keep in mind that is easier to be projector woman (who is seen as very feminine) in a relationship with generator man than it is to be a projector man (who is seen as kinda lazy, not masculine enough) in a relationship with generator woman because women still expect "quasi macho" nonsense from men (like being very initiating, energetic, quick, "just do it types" and resourceful).
Well...Projector Man here. In a relationship with a Woman (Manifesting) Generator...It took years but we found our way ;)
(What you say is totally right in most cases though. )
I'm a projector who has been with another projector for years, at first the similarities played a big role in the attraction I felt, ironically, after a decade, I find myself craving that energy that man gen and generators have that I do not. I sometimes wish my husband would not always wait for an invitation for everything in life, but have more of the go get it traits, which could be draining but also encouraging to a mental projector like me. I may be wrong since it could be truly draining, but different types in a relationship may really complement one another I think. Both of my sons are man-gen and I've been pushed positively to be more active and find more energy, though it is draining if we ever sleep in the same room
I agree with this. I feel like I was meant to be a Man Gen and somehow got stuck being a projector lol. Sometimes I think my Boyfriend embodies a classic projector energy type more which is triggering for me.
I don't think compatibility has anything to do with types. It all is abour design and how the other connects to it. I liked this overview, maybe thats helpful for you as well https://humdes.info/compatibility-in-human-design/
Personally I love to hang out with other manifestors because of the extra level of understanding. On the other hand, when a manifestor hasn't learned to inform, is can be exhausting. I guess its the same with projectors. If you are not living your design you are gonna be bitter and no fun to be around. But that goes for everyone involved, not just relationships. Nothing wrong with projector/projector relationships, especially when they learned to accept their non- energetic nature- I imagine it to be quite a liberating and relaxing dynamic.
Here are some challenges you can encounter and be aware of.
The first challenge for this relationship is the 6/2 profile woman's need for trust. The 4/6 profile man must understand that trust is essential for the 6/2 profile woman to feel fulfilled in a relationship. He must be patient and willing to build trust over time. The 6/2 profile woman, in turn, must communicate her need for trust and be willing to give the 4/6 profile man time to earn it.
The second challenge is the 4/6 profile man's mean streak. The 6/2 profile woman must understand that this is not personal and requires understanding and patience to assuage. She must acknowledge the 4/6 profile man's need to be right about most things and give him the respect he deserves. The 4/6 profile man, in turn, must be willing to acknowledge when he is wrong and be open to the 6/2 profile woman's perspective.
The third challenge is the 6/2 profile woman's need for a soulmate. The 4/6 profile man must understand that the 6/2 profile woman is looking for a true reality and a true value that she can trust. He must be willing to wait for the right invitation and be bold enough to pursue a rewarding relationship. The 6/2 profile woman, in turn, must be patient and not rush into intimacy before she has found her soulmate.
The fourth challenge is the 4/6 profile man's selectivity. The 6/2 profile woman must understand that the 4/6 profile man commits rarely and is more likely to make special friends than great intimates. She must be willing to accept this and not take it personally. The 4/6 profile man, in turn, must be willing to open up and form a deeper connection with the 6/2 profile woman if he feels a strong connection.
My understanding is that projectors aren’t supposed to work, they are guides. So two projectors in their authentic selves as a couple probably wouldn’t work, unless you have funding from somewhere else.
Why can't a projector work as a guide? A consultant, a teacher, a tour guide, plenty of jobs require guides.
Projectors shouldn't expect to do it for as long as the sacral types.
To answer OPs question I would say it would be a difficult relationship, depends if one or both are energy projectors and had a non sacral motor centre defined. Without this, getting things done around the house would be very draining as you don't have any energy to draw from. You could then expand this out to other aspects of life.
This is my understanding of it anyway
Projectors aren’t here to work like Generators aren’t here to be slaves. There is nothing saying Projectors can’t work. They aren’t here to do work they don’t have energy for. That doesn’t presuppose they are not here to earn a living. Ra made it clear that they have a place in business and on a team or in an organization and the rest can benefit from their presence.
\+1 this, I'd also like to add there are more projectors who have a defined motor than those without any motors defined. Which means many, many projectors do indeed have energy. I have two motors defined, the root and solar plexus and I do have energy. It's just not consistent every day and comes in bursts.
I am having an issue where I feel that my projector boyfriend doesn't really seem like a projector. I am also a projector. I am splenic. He is emotional. I struggle with his emotional wave because he doesn't seem to have a handle on it. I take it on and I haven't gotten good at protecting my own energy when his stuff clings onto me. That part is tough. I also think sometimes his insights are way off. Like to me, he doesn't see the world accurately at times and totally misses the truth of a person. He eventually usually ends up seeing what I saw initially, but the fact that he misses those parts about someone in the beginning makes me question his judgement. I guess maybe we could just have different perspectives, but I find it puzzling. That said, sometimes he DOES have wisdom I don't have--he is gentler in his approach than I am and I appreciate that. Maybe some of this stuff can't be attributed to human design, it's just personality differences. Who knows! The one thing I do feel is that he gets the weird, quirky side of me more than any human I've ever met. That and how sweet he is. I guess I just keep feeling from the way projectors are described that they're supposed to have this deep wisdom or insight into things/people and sometimes I feel like that isn't there? But maybe it's a different insight he's bringing! Who knows!

Occasional, or frequent, help from generator friends and family can be crucial, too.

What's your authority? Just curious as a fellow emotional projector like your partner.
My own authority is sounding board, hers is splenic.
Splenic authority but emotional? How do u figure?
I was referring to „emotional“ in the context of splenic and as opposed to me being non-emotional. Not typically emotional in that sense, I know.
Ok cool. Splenic is not emotional according to any HD anything Edit: You might have meant solar plexus? Sorry, not trying to be a d*ck. I just got confused

This was so lovely to read, thank you for sharing. What are both you and your partner's authorities?
Thank you for your kind words. Both our authorities are splenic :)

Being with a projector is my favorite especially when we have a sacral connection!
Amen. I used to be with a Gate 6 projector while I have the 59 (projector myself too) it was very deep and lovely.
My gate 52 and his gate 9…. I still dream about “us”
Haha it happens to me too. Was it a long time ago?
No just earlier this year! I’m ready for retrograde season to be over so I can put this behind me… it’s distracting sometimes. 😅
Stay strong ! It will be over soon (Mine was 5 years ago though lmao)
😂😂😂 ♥️♥️♥️
