Human Design Inner Authority
Sacral Authority
If you have Sacral Authority in your Human Design chart, this means you should always use your gut instinct to make decisions that are right for you. In the moment of making a decision, you should feel a clear YES or No come from your gut in response to something. Often you can feel the sound Ahuh come from within for a yes response or the sound Uh-uh come from within for a no response.
This guiding authority within you knows what is right for you. Never use your head to make a final decision. Your gut instinct always knows what’s best for you. Trust your gut if you have Sacral Authority in your chart.
Only Generators and Manifesting Generators have this authority.
Emotional Authority
If you have Emotional Authority in your Human Design chart, you need to feel your response over time. With emotional authority, you experience a wave of high and low emotions. Depending on the type of wave you have, this can be a constant wave of feeling high emotionally followed by a feeling of low emotionally or you may only experience an emotional wave of high and low emotions in response to a relationship situation.
The key for you is to avoid making final decisions when you’re feeling emotionally high or low. For example, when you’re feeling emotionally high don’t agree to something in that moment, such as marriage, because your decision will be influenced by your emotional state. Wait until you’re off the high point of your wave to see if you still respond in the same way. The same goes for feeling emotionally low. When you’re feeling low emotionally, don’t do something stupid like hit someone or send them a nasty text message. Wait until you are no longer feeling emotionally low to determine if this is still the right course of action for you.
Your emotional wave is designed to help you make the best decisions for you so pay attention to where you are emotionally before making any important decisions.
Splenic Authority
If you have Splenic Authority in your Human Design chart, you intuitively sense what is right for you in the moment.
You will feel an intuitive response to something in your body that drives you towards or away from something – this is your intuitive response to a decision, and you will only receive it in that moment; it won’t repeat itself. Your body should resonate with an instant internal sense that something is definitely right for you or you may get an instant feeling of unease that something is not right for you. This is your intuitive response. You must learn to tune in and listen to what your body is intuitively telling you in the moment.
Only Projectors and Manifestors have this authority.
Ego-Manifested Authority
If you have Ego Manifested Authority in your Human Design chart, you determine what is right for you by expressing it verbally. The words that flow out of your mouth in the moment, express your truth and what is right for you. The key is to let your words flow without thinking about what you’re going to say first. When you do this, you will naturally speak what is best and right for you.
You articulate what your heart wants through the direct connection of your Will centre (the heart) to your Throat centre. Talking allows you to express what you want, which you then hear and can then act accordingly.
It’s important that you talk to people who allow you to speak freely without interrupting you and who don’t try to redirect what you are saying.
Only Manifestors have this authority.
Ego-Projected Authority
If you have Ego Projected Authority in your Human Design chart, you should only do something if you have the energy for it. Don’t push to do something with energy you don’t have; this won’t serve your best interests. This is how you determine within your body, if an invitation is right for you. If you don’t have the energy to do something which you’ve received an invitation for, don’t do it.
Very few Projectors have this authority. If you have this authority, your Will centre is directly connected to your G centre. Your body knows what is best for it through your self, identity and direction centre (your G centre) and your Will centre otherwise known as your Heart Chakra. You should feel an internal pull within your heart area towards a response that feels best for you after being recognised and invited to something. This is the response you should follow.
Only projectors have this authority.
Self-Projected Authority
If you have Self-Projected Authority in your Human Design chart, you determine what is best for you by talking about your decisions and then listening to what you’re saying in the moment. When you do this, you can hear through your words and get a sense of what is right for you. Bouncing ideas of your friends and family allows you to hear if something excites you or not. The more time you spend talking about these things with someone you’re close to, the clearer you become about what is right for you. You mustn’t think your way to an important decision; this causes you to make decisions with your head instead of your heart.
Only Projectors have this authority.
No Inner Authority
If you have no inner authority in your Human Design chart, you are a Mental Projector. With no inner authority, you can’t afford to make decisions on the spot. Mental Projectors have a very fixed mind so the only way they can sense what is right for them when it comes to big decisions, is to talk it out to as many people as possible.
You must take time, whether it’s a couple of hours or a couple of days, to experientially feel out what is right for you when it comes to important decisions. The best way to do make a decision is to discuss it with as many other people as possible. You’re not looking for their advice, you just need them to be your sounding board because talking it through helps you feel out what is best for you. You need to bounce your thoughts and ideas off other people’s auras. This gives you different feelings about the value of what you’re saying by activating your open centres. This then helps you to get a sense of what decision you should make.
PS: Reflectors also have no inner authority. But they do have outer authority because they have the benefit of drawing on the lunar cycle to feel into what is best for them. This means decision making can be more difficult for Mental Projectors then Reflectors.
