Types
Generators and Manifesting Generators together: 69.7% — that's the '70%' you often hear. Projectors are about one in five, Manifestors about one in eleven, Reflectors about one in a hundred.
Inner authority
Profiles, rarest first
Six profiles are about six times rarer than the others. The reason is geometric: the Design Sun is always 88° before the Personality Sun, so only certain line pairs line up often.

Sun gates: why summer birthdays are more common
The Sun crosses each gate in about 5.7 days, but not at a constant speed: Earth moves slowest around early July and fastest around early January. So the Personality Sun is in Gate 45 for 1.6% of people but in Gate 13 for only 1.5%.
Method
We generated 1,000,000 birth moments spread evenly over 1950–2008 and calculated each chart with the Swiss Ephemeris (Moshier model), using the standard Human Design method: Personality at birth, Design at the moment the Sun was 88° earlier. Real birth rates vary a little by season and hour, so treat these as close estimates; the rarest items (under 0.1%) carry a few percent of sampling noise. Generated 2026-10-18.
