Human Design & Authorities (Decision-Making)
Updated: 5 days ago
In Human Design, we call decision-making mechanisms "Authorities."
Human Design says that around the 18th century, we underwent an evolution, moving from a 7-centered to a 9-centered beings, and our decision-making mechanisms have now shifted to bodily sensations. Until then, we made mental decisions based on survival instincts, but now the mind exists solely for understanding and sharing knowledge.
Authorities provide the key to finding our way through various feelings. Therefore, increasing your body awareness and maintaining a strong interoception - your communication with your body - is crucial not only for your health but also for progressing through life in harmony with your design.
Emotional Authority
Emotional authority is the most dominant authority in the bodygraph. Emotional authority makes decisions based on emotions. It signifies a deep life experience, far from superficiality. For major decisions, you need to evaluate them with your feelings for at least 24 hours (marriage, new project, job, moving, etc.). However, for everyday decisions, you can make them based on your feelings at that moment.
Your truth comes not in the moment, but over time. Allow yourself to experience your feelings; they are also your compass.
Sacral Authority
The sacral center is where passions, vitality, creativity, joy, and productivity reside. Sacral decisions always lead you to fulfillment, and thus, life energy in the world is generated in the sacral center. The key to the sacral center is that it works with two-answer questions. For example: "Do I want this? - Yes or No" or "Do I want this or that?" With such dual questions, you instantly receive the answer through your body feelings.
It is essential for sacral people to be at peace with their body and feelings. These feelings can show as: bull body excitement, happiness, joy, lightness enveloping your body etc. The sacral center stays very well in the present moment and constantly gives you "Yes" or "No" answers. Sometimes, a decision may change over time, and even if you don't understand that time, believe that it is healthy for you.
Splenic Authority
Splenic authority is about survival instincts and health; it always wants to keep you safe. Enjoying life is also a part of it. With splenic authority, your intuition gives you the answer only once, it whispers and doesn't repeat. Sometimes you might confuse it with fear or anxiety, but the key is this: true intuition feels compassionate and light, while mental doubt feels like fear or rigidity.
You have very strong intuitions, and you are naturally aware of them. Sometimes a decision might change over time, and this is again related to your safety and is healthy for you. Most likely, there has been a change regarding that decision, involving a place or person you shouldn't be with, and splenic authority has given you the current decision in a way that will keep you safe and healthy.
Ego Authority (Projected)
Ego authority is quite tangible and related to the desires of your heart. While this might seem selfish from the outside, it's healthy for you and for the collective. You possess a strong will, a sensitive nature, and a strong sense of self-awareness.
Questions like, "What do I want?" and "How will this benefit me?" guide you to the right answer. This makes you magnetic, and you begin to attract invitations. You can share your guidance with the right invitation in your own niche. In daily decisions, you can find the answer through the questions mentioned above.
Ego Authority (Manifested)
Ego authority is quite tangible and related to the desires of your heart. While this might seem selfish from the outside, it's healthy for you and for the whole. You have a strong voice, a strong will, and a sensitive nature.
Perspectives like "What do I want?" and "How is this beneficial to me?" guide you to the right answer. Expressing your desires and listening to your own voice brings you clarity. The important thing here is not to seek for approval or to hear the decision from others, but to gain clarity by listening to the desires of your own heart.
Self Projected Authority
When you let your expression flow freely, what pours out through your voice speaks the desires of your soul. By hearing what you express, you can hear your soul's wishes and make decisions accordingly. You possess a strong sense of self-awareness and a vocal form of expression.
The important thing is to let go of mental control and allow your voice to speak. For you, expressing yourself isn't about seeking advice, but it is about hearing your soul's desires and making decisions by them.
Environmental Authority
You have a very sensitive and responsive nature to what's happening around you. While environmental authority is often called as mental authority, it's not actually a mental process.
You make decisions based on your bodily feelings from what you hear from your environment. You might see this like those around you are speaking to you to clarify things for you. The important thing is to be aware of your mental control and make decisions based on your feelings from what you hear from your environment. Therefore, being in environments that are right for you and make you feel good is very important.
Moon Authority
The moon authority indicates that you are a Reflector energy type. This chart gives you a strong openness and sensitivity. You are sensitive to both planetary movements and the energies around you. Therefore, being in the right environments that support you and make you feel good is very important for you.
For major decisions, you wait a lunar cycle, approximately 28 days, and evaluate that decision in many ways, with various energies. In daily and momentary decisions, however, you make decisions based on your current bodily sensations.
Knowing the lunar cycles, being flexible, and being open to surprises are valuable for you.
