Human Design
Authorities
The inner authority is the body's mechanism for making correct decisions. There are 7 + 1 inner authorities (the last one is Mental, for some Projectors).
Emotional (Solar Plexus)
Wait for clarity — ride the emotional wave. Never decide at the peak.
Sacral
Instant body response — yes / no — to a concrete question. If you're thinking it, it isn't the Sacral.
Splenic
A one-time intuitive flash — “I know” / “danger.” In the moment, and it won't return.
Ego-Manifested (Heart)
Decisions arrive through the voice — what you say is what stands. The right to be self-interested.
Ego-Projected
Decisions arrive through dialogue. You need an interlocutor to hear your own heart.
Self-Projected (G)
Decisions move through your own voice. You speak — you listen — you act.
Mental (Outer Authority)
Decisions clarify through conversation and the right environment. Listen to how your thoughts sound outside your head.
Lunar (Reflector)
Wait the full lunar cycle. The Moon will show you everything you need to know.
