Inner authority in Human Design: a practical guide

Emotional, sacral, splenic… how to read your authority and make better decisions.

Authority shows where to look for clarity before an important decision. It is not a moral rule — it is bodily mechanics based on defined centers in your bodygraph.

Emotional authority needs time: clarity comes after the wave, not in the urgency of the first feeling. Sacral authority answers with an immediate yes or no in the body. Splenic authority is instant and subtle — it does not repeat.

Projected authorities (ego, self-projected, environmental) and lunar authority for Reflectors use different frames: speaking out loud, changing context, or waiting a full cycle.

To find your authority, calculate your bodygraph first with birth date, time, and place. The full PDF report explains how to live your authority day to day.
