Biography
Rousseau was known as "Le Douanier Rousseau," referring to a job he held with the Paris Customs Office from 1871-1893, although he never actually rose to the rank of "Douanier" (Customs officer). Prior to this, he had served in the army, and had claimed to have seen service in Mexico, though the story seems to be largely imaginary.
He took up painting as a hobby, then took early retirement from the customs office in 1893 so he could devote himself to his art. Though he tried to follow traditional artists, it was the innocence and charm of his work that won him the admiration of the avant-garde: in 1908, Picasso gave a banquet in his honor.
He never lost faith in his own abilities, despite great poverty. On 9 January 1909, he was sentenced to a fine and two years imprisonment for bank fraud, but the sentence was dismissed because of his age.
He was married twice. His first wife, Clemence Bailard, bore him seven children, none of whom lived. After her death, he married a widow Josephine-Rosalie Nourry, in 1899. She died in 1903.
Henri Rousseau died on 4 September 1910 in Paris from blood poisoning. He was 66.
The Human Design of Henri Rousseau: Manifesting Generator 6/3
Henri Rousseau is a Manifesting Generator in Human Design – an energy type that combines the sacral power of the Generator with the manifestation ability of the Manifestor. Manifesting Generators are multi-talented and often work on several things simultaneously.
The Manifesting Generator's strategy is to respond to impulses, inform others, and then act. Unlike pure Generators, they can skip steps and take shortcuts – this isn't a mistake but part of their design.
When Henri Rousseau lives in alignment with their design, they experience deep satisfaction and fulfillment. The not-self theme is frustration and anger – frustration when the sacral energy is blocked, and anger when the manifestation power can't flow freely.
Henri Rousseau has Emotional Authority – the most common authority. Decisions should never be made in an emotional high or low, but only when emotional clarity settles in. "Sleep on it" is meant literally here. The emotional wave needs time to run its course.
Henri Rousseau carries the profile 6/3 – Role Model / Martyr. The 6th line represents the Role Model: a life path in three phases – first experimenting (until ~30), then observing from the "roof" (until ~50), and finally authentically embodying the role model. The 3rd line represents the Experimenter: learning through trial and error, embracing life as a practical experiment and growing wise through experience.
The incarnation cross "Left Angle Cross of Uncertainty 1" describes the overarching life purpose and direction of Henri Rousseau in Human Design. It consists of the four gate activations of Sun and Earth (personality and design) and only becomes felt when one lives their strategy and authority.
