THE HUMAN DESIGN AUTHORITIES

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.

MINDFULNESS IN HUMAN DESIGN

Human Design teaches us to use our energy for the right things and avoid the wrong ones. We often decide with our minds and bypass our body’s unique intelligence. The mind can explore interesting ideas, and we enjoy reflecting on them. This is a correct use of the mind. However, our minds are not made to know what is right for us. In Human Design, mindfulness is not about the mind.

Mindfulness comes from the body’s intelligence. Human Design says the mind is like a car passenger. The mind’s proper role is to sit back, enjoy the ride, and not fight your body’s wisdom for the steering wheel. Human Design’s tools—Strategy and Authority—help the mind stay comfortable in the back seat.

Human Design doesn’t tell you your level of consciousness or awareness. It won’t define your moral compass, values, or politics. However, it will reveal what motivates you. It highlights the themes that run consistently through your life. These themes are the areas you’re compelled to explore because that’s where your gifts lie. Your Human Design chart is a map and blueprint of your true way of being. By following that map, you are practicing mindfulness; that is, you are being aware of who you are meant to be.  

In the practice of mindfulness, we purposely bring our attention to the present moment, without judgment. We see ourselves as we are. This is what Human Design does: it shows you your Design, and there is no judgment!

How Human Design Supports Mindfulness

The Human Design system – its very structure – reveals that we are designed to use our lives to serve the evolution of humanity. It shows that we are intended to honor the integrity of our bodies so that we can be more and give more. We are designed to care for each other and to make peaceful agreements that allow others to be more and give more.  We are designed to live in integrity with who we truly are and with one another.

This state of mindfulness about how to live as individuals and in community keeps us healthy and thriving. We are meant to experience a more beautiful world when we honor the power of well-being for ourselves and others.  

As has already been mentioned, we do not use our minds for decisions in Human Design. We rely on mindfulness, which means being present with the body’s wisdom.

How To Access Your Body’s Wisdom

The primary mindfulness tool is Strategy, or being present to body wisdom. Strategy is unique to your Type and matches your Type’s energy flow. It gives key information about the right choices for you. Each Type has a Strategy: Projectors wait to be Invited, Manifestors Inform, Generators and Manifesting Generators use their Sacral Response, and Reflectors wait at least one Lunar Cycle.

A secondary tool that supports mindfulness is Authority. It flavors the way you use your Strategy. There are seven kinds of authority:

      • Sacral
      • Splenic
      • Emotional Solar Plexus⠀
      • Ego (Will)⠀
      • Self-Projected⠀
      • Mental-Projected⠀
      • Lunar⠀

Your Authority is used in conjunction with your Strategy. Authority assists you with the timing of entering into a new commitment of your energy. Timing is directly related to waiting for an intuitive sense or feeling of the correct moment to move forward.

In Human Design, Mindfulness means that we remember to:

      • Love ourselves
      • Trust ourselves
      • Stand in our power
      • Stay deeply aligned with our authentic selves.
      • Make the choices that are correct for us.
      • Move forward with our true story, and not sit in old stories that aren’t worthy of us.
      • Take care of our bodies and our spirits so that we stay energetic and vital.
      • Work on our sense of value so that we can allow ourselves to receive what we need to fulfill our purpose and mission.
