Projector: directing other people's energy

A Projector can't build up energy on its own: the people around it provide it, and with that energy it carries out its program. Competing on strength with Generators or Manifestors is almost impossible for it. A Projector often goes through a crisis: it admits it won't beat others at their game — and that is exactly when it discovers its real gift. It sees where others can fulfil themselves, like a coach standing off the pitch and correcting the team's game.

This gift works only after an invitation. Advice nobody asked for, however accurate, is more likely to meet rejection than recognition. When a Projector is invited and valued, it gets results while spending far less energy than others.

Profile 4/6: Opportunist / Role Model

The conscious line 4 — Opportunist: lives through a network of relationships. Opportunities come from friends and acquaintances, so a stable circle of people is their main resource. The unconscious line 6 — Role Model: lives life in three stages: until about 30 — experience through their own mistakes, then — observing “from the roof”, after about 50 — becoming an example for others.

How the two fit together

This is one of the luckiest combinations for a Projector: such a Projector more often has to choose among invitations than wait for them.

Here is how it happens in life. A Projector 4/6 with splenic authority spent six years as an instructor in a shared studio with several colleagues. When she offered herself, she was turned down, and when she was accepted, the work drained her. One day the senior colleague came to her specifically: "I want to move into another field. Will you take the studio over?" At first she refused, hesitated for two days, then agreed — and the money and people turned up at once. The invitation came through her circle (the fourth line), and later people started coming to her for advice on their own (the sixth). Her sixth line showed in another way too: until 27 she lived to the full and made plenty of mistakes, and then she felt her life move to another level.

The fourth line is always surrounded by people, so such a Projector has plenty of chances to be invited: its presence is valued, its advice respected, its criticism accepted. It is a lucky combination where the profile doesn't complicate the Projector's life but helps it. But the rule doesn't change: even acquaintances are likely to reject unasked-for lecturing.

The sixth line adds authority to the Projector: with age people come to it for advice on their own. For a type that needs recognition this is great support, but here too advice works best when it was asked for.
