Energy in focused stretches
A Projector doesn't have the steady, renewable energy a Generator has. They work in focused stretches, and rest is part of how their energy works. Many of them know what it costs to spend years keeping up with everyone around them.
Being asked
A Projector's insight lands when someone has recognized it and asked for it. Offered unasked, the same insight can be met with resistance, however right it was. This matters most for the big things: work, love, where to live, who to give their guidance to. A lot of daily life goes on as normal in between, and much of it goes well on what they enjoy and study.
How it feels
When it's working, a Projector feels recognized and successful, valued for what they actually see. When it isn't, they feel bitter: tired from having worked as hard as everyone else and gone unseen.
The detail, if you want it
A Projector has an open Sacral center and no motor connected to the Throat, with at least one center defined. The strategy is to wait for the invitation, the signature is success and the not-self theme is bitterness. Authority can be Emotional, Splenic, Ego, Self-Projected or Mental, depending on what's defined.
