Here is a description for each of the 7 Human Design Authorities to help you understand how you’re designed to make decisions that are correct for you, that work, and that keep you vertical.
SACRAL AUTHORITY – Only for Generators and Manifesting Generators with a defined Sacral and no Solar Plexus
This is gut-based decision-making. The Sacral Center communicates its truth through physical sensations, including sounds, responses, and feelings of expansion or contraction.
-
- Aligned Decisions Feel: Energizing, buzzy, expansive, magnetic
- Misaligned Decisions Feel: Draining, heavy, flat
- Your truth lives in: “Uh-huh” or “uh-uh”; the body speaks before the mind.
Key Practice: Stop asking yourself “What do I think?” and begin paying attention to what your gut is already telling you.
EMOTIONAL AUTHORITY – For any Type with a defined Solar Plexus
You’re not designed for “in the moment” decisions. Your clarity comes through riding the emotional wave over time.
-
- Aligned Decisions Feel: Clear, calm, emotionally neutral
- Misaligned Decisions Feel: Reactive, impulsive, driven by emotional highs/lows
- Your Truth Lives In: Waiting for the emotional wave to settle; clarity comes in the cool, not the heat.
Key Practice: “Don’t make permanent decisions in temporary emotions.”
If your Solar Plexus and Splenic Centers are both defined in your chart, your Authority is Emotional.
SPLENIC AUTHORITY – For Projectors and Manifestors with defined Spleen only
This is intuition in the now; it’s quiet, subtle, and primal. It speaks once and does not repeat itself.
-
- Aligned Decisions Feel: Instinctive, safe, spontaneous
- Misaligned Decisions Feel: Overthought, pressured, anxious
- Your Truth Lives In: The whisper, the bodily hit, the knowing-before-you-know
Key Practice: Trust your first instinct, not the fear-driven mind chatter.
EGO/HEART (WILL) AUTHORITY – Manifestors or Projectors with defined Ego, no Solar Plexus or Sacral
You are designed to make decisions based on what you truly desire and what your heart is willing to commit to.
-
- Aligned Decisions Feel: Empowered, driven, full-hearted
- Misaligned Decisions Feel: Obligated, performative, people-pleasing
- Your Truth Lives In: “Do I really want this?” “Will I commit to this?”
Key Practice: Only say yes when your heart is fully behind it and your will is ready to follow through.
SELF-PROJECTED AUTHORITY – Projectors with defined G Center and Throat
Your truth is revealed through speaking it out loud; you hear yourself into clarity.
-
- Aligned Decisions Feel: Resonant, self-directed, meaningful
- Misaligned Decisions Feel: Forced, influenced, directionless
- Your Truth Lives In: Your voice. Your identity. What feels like “you.”
Key Practice: Talk it out with someone you trust, not for advice, but to hear your own truth come forward.
MENTAL-PROJECTED (OUTER AUTHORITY) – Projectors with defined Head/Ajna and open body
You’re not here to make decisions from your mind, but you do need your environment and a sounding board to reflect your clarity.
-
- Aligned Decisions Feel: Clear, spacious, recognized
- Misaligned Decisions Feel: Mentally pressured, chaotic, undefined
- Your Truth Lives In: Correct environments + speaking your thoughts out loud.
Key Practice: Don’t isolate. Talk it through in the right places with the right people.
LUNAR AUTHORITY – Reflectors only
You need a full 28-day lunar cycle to understand and know what’s right for you. Your clarity comes from sampling, reflecting, and noticing patterns.
-
- Aligned Decisions Feel: Settled, wise, spacious
- Misaligned Decisions Feel: Rushed, pressured, foggy
- Your Truth Lives In: The unfolding process of time and reflection.
Key Practice: Honor your process. Let yourself be surprised by what becomes clear over time.
Each authority is a sacred compass, not a rulebook. It’s here to help you unlearn purely mental decision-making and trust your unique energetic guidance system.
