Energy that answers
A Generator's energy works best when something outside them gives it something to answer: a question, an opportunity, a thing they notice in the world. The body answers first, with a felt yes or no, sometimes as a sound like "uh-huh" or "uh-uh". Things started from the head alone tend to run out of steam, because the energy was never asked.
Tired in a good way
When a Generator is spending their energy on what's right for them, they end the day tired and satisfied. When they're stuck in something they said yes to out of obligation, they feel frustrated. A lot of Generators recognize that one right away.
How they decide
Most Generators either decide from that gut response in the moment, or need a little time for their feelings to settle first. Your chart says which is yours. More on how you decide.
The detail, if you want it
A Generator has a defined Sacral center, the center of life force and sustained work, with no motor connected to the Throat. The strategy is to respond, the signature is satisfaction and the not-self theme is frustration. Authority is usually Sacral, or Emotional when the Solar Plexus is defined too.
