Inner Authority
The Key to Authentic Decisions in Human Design
In the powerful system of Human Design, your Inner Authority is your unique, inborn strategy for making correct decisions.
It serves as your most reliable guide, helping you navigate life's choices with clarity and authenticity, ultimately leading to greater alignment and less resistance.
Unlike the mind, which can be swayed by external pressures and learned conditioning, your Inner Authority stems from the inherent wisdom of your body and your individual energetic design.
Learning to recognize and trust your Authority is fundamental to living a life that truly resonates with your most authentic self.
Emotional Authority in Cosmic Human Design: Riding your emotiona wave to clarity
**Energetic Center:** Solar Plexus (connected to the Solar Plexus Nerve Network, Kidneys, Pancreas, Lungs)
**Biological Connection:** Governs emotions, feelings, and the nervous system's response to them.
**Awareness:** Emotional awareness, the wave of feelings.
As someone with Emotional Authority in Cosmic Human Design myself, I understand deeply the importance of honoring the emotional wave in decision-making.
If this is your Authority, your choices are governed by a wave of feelings.
Clarity doesn't arrive in the immediate moment. Instead, it requires you to patiently ride the emotional wave, allowing yourself to fully experience its spectrum, from highs to lows. For us, there is truly no absolute truth in the now.
It's crucial for Emotional Beings to grant themselves the time and space needed to feel through their emotions completely, resisting the urge to make snap decisions based on fleeting feelings.
Genuine clarity and the correct "yes" or "no" will reveal themselves as the emotional wave completes its natural cycle.
Example: Imagine being offered a new opportunity. With Emotional Authority, the initial excitement might be strong, but it's wise to wait and observe if that feeling persists and is supported by your emotional landscape over time.
Allowing the full wave to pass will bring you to a place of true resonance and clarity.

**Trusting your emotional wave ensures your decisions are deeply aligned and free from impulsive reactions.**
Sacral Center Response Your Gut Instincts In the now
Sacral Authority (Sacral Center):
(This works well as the Sacral response is consistent across Human Design systems.)
**Energetic Center:** Sacral Center (connected to the Ovaries/Testes)
**Biological Connection:** The life force energy center, responsible for reproduction, vitality, and sustained energy.
**Awareness:** Gut feelings, instinctual "yes" or "no" responses related to what energizes you.
Sacral Authority resides in the Sacral Center and is the primary decision-making tool for Generators and Manifesting Generators. Decisions are visceral and based on immediate gut feelings and energetic responses originating from your life force.
These responses are often non-verbal, manifesting as an affirmative "uh-huh" (yes) or a negative "uh-uh" (no). It's about what excites you, what brings energy, and what feels like a resonant "yes" in your gut in the present moment, indicating what is energetically correct for you to engage with.
**Honoring your Sacral "uh-huh" or "uh-uh" ensures you engage with what genuinely energizes you.**
Splenic Authority in Cosmic Human Design: The Power of Instant Intuition
(Similar to Sacral, the Spleen's intuitive hit is a core aspect.)
**Energetic Center:** Spleen Center (connected to the Spleen and Lymphatic System)
**Biological Connection:** Governs the immune system, intuition, well-being, and survival instincts.
**Awareness:** Immediate, intuitive "pings" of yes or no related to health, safety, and what is instinctively right in the moment.
Splenic Authority is an ancient, intuitive knowing arising from your body's wisdom related to well-being,.
It's providing a subtle, often quiet "ping" or flash of intuition for immediate clarity on what is healthy or correct in the present.
Because it's a direct, instinctual hit rooted in your survival instincts, it can be easily missed by the mind's logic or overridden by fears.
It speaks only once, so learning to trust and recognize these fleeting intuitive nudges is essential for your well-being.
**Listening to your Splenic intuition in the moment provides immediate clarity for your well-being and survival.**
Ego Authority: Aligning with your will & values
**Energetic Center:** Ego Center (Heart Center - connected to the Stomach, Gallbladder, Heart, Thymus Glands)
**Biological Connection: ** Governs willpower, self-esteem, the heart's desires, and the ability to commit.
**Awareness:** A sense of what you truly want, what you have the will to commit to, and what aligns with your sense of self-worth.
Ego Authority, also known as Heart or Will Authority, operates through the Heart Center in your Cosmic Human Design.
Decisions are correct when they align with what you truly value and what you have the will to commit your energy to.
This Authority often involves speaking your truth and making promises that you intend to keep.
It's about what is personally willed and honored within your unique design.
**Trusting your Ego Authority empowers you to commit to what genuinely aligns with your desires and self-worth.**
Self Projected Authority navigating through your identity
**Energetic Center:** G Center (connected to the Liver & Blood)
**Biological Connection:** The center of identity, love, direction, and self-expression.
**Awareness:** A sense of self, your unique identity, and your direction in life, which clarifies through interaction and reflection.
Self Projected Authority, residing in the G or Identity Center within your Cosmic Human Design chart, is about finding your authentic identity in relation to others and your environment.
Decisions are correct when they feel deeply aligned with your core sense of self and your intended direction in life. It's about recognizing who you are in the world and making choices that honor that identity and your chosen tribe.
**Aligning with your authentic identity and chosen tribe is key to correct decisions for Self-Projected Authority.**
Mental Projected Authority clarity through external dialogue
**Energetic Center:** Ajna Center (connected to the Pituitary Gland, the Neocortex, & Visual Cortex)
**Biological Connection:** Governs conceptualization, thinking, and the processing of information.
**Awareness:** Mental clarity, logical understanding, and the ability to see different perspectives and future potentials.
Mental Projected Authority in Cosmic Human Design is unique as it lacks a direct connection to a motor center.
Clarity for Mental Projectors arises through the process of verbalizing their ideas with the right people – those who genuinely see and understand their unique perspective.
It's a process of externalizing their mental landscape to gain clarity through the feedback and reflection of others. Decisions are not made in isolation but through articulation and dialogue.
**Mental Projectors find their deepest clarity by verbalizing their ideas through genuine dialogue with the right people.**
