Biography
She began writing as a hobby when she was eight or nine years old. After completing high school, she entered Purdue University. She graduated with a degree in biology in 1972, and during the 1970s, she worked a variety of jobs including stints as a waitress, security guard and artist’s model. She eventually got into computer programming, but ended up working for American Airlines.
Bored, after settling down in Oklahoma, she began writing seriously, but it soon became an addiction. She states that she has no social life to speak of, and although she chose fantasy as her subject, she works hard to keep the imaginary worlds solid and real. Her approach to her writing can be summed up by a creed she gave one of her characters. "There’s no such thing as ‘one, true way.’ The only answers worth having are the ones you find for yourself; leave the world better than you found it. Love, freedom and the chance to do some good; they are the things worth living and dying for, and if you aren’t willing to die for the things worth living for, you might as well turn in your membership in the human race."
Lackey is married to her collaborator, artist Larry Dixon. Both are avidly interested in the welfare of American birds.
The Human Design of Mercedes Lackey: Projector 5/1
Mercedes Lackey is a Projector in Human Design – a non-energy type designed to guide and direct others. Projectors make up about 20% of humanity and have a special gift for recognizing and directing the energies and talents of others.
The Projector's strategy is to wait for the right, respectful invitation before contributing their guidance. Without an invitation, the Projector's wisdom is often unrecognized or even rejected.
When Mercedes Lackey lives in alignment with their design, they experience success and recognition. The Projector's not-self theme is bitterness – a sign that their wisdom and guidance isn't being valued.
Mercedes Lackey has Splenic Authority – a spontaneous, intuitive authority. The Spleen speaks softly and only once, in the moment. It manifests as instinctive knowing, a subtle body signal that immediately recognizes what is healthy and safe. Those with this authority must learn to trust the first impulse.
Mercedes Lackey carries the profile 5/1 – Heretic / Investigator. The 5th line represents the Hero and Savior: others project expectations and hopes onto this line, which can deliver practical solutions for universal problems. The 1st line represents the Investigator: a deep need for a solid foundation and thorough knowledge before feeling secure.
The incarnation cross "Left Angle Cross of Prevention 1" describes the overarching life purpose and direction of Mercedes Lackey 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.
