Authority in Human Design
Emotional (Solar Plexus)
Wait for clarity — ride the emotional wave. Never decide at the peak.
When the Solar Plexus is defined, you live in an emotional wave: feelings cycle between elation and contraction.
How it works
When the Solar Plexus is defined, you live in an emotional wave: feelings cycle between elation and contraction. There is no truth in the instant. The decision you make on the high will feel different on the low and vice versa. Your authority, therefore, is patience and the pause. Before a major decision, wait — let several phases of the wave pass. When the calm comes, free of euphoria and free of heaviness, that is clarity. Then you can act. For small daily decisions, a short pause is enough; for life-shaping ones (relationships, work, moving) — weeks or longer.
Decision rule
Wait for emotional clarity — let the wave run its course. Today yes, tomorrow a calmer yes, the day after a confident yes — now you can act.
What to rely on
Time. Several days, more for major decisions.
What to avoid
Never decide at the peak of emotion — neither in elation nor in despair. There is no truth in the moment; the truth lives at the end of the wave.
