Authority: How you make decisions

In Human Design each Authority type offers unique strategies tailored to align with their intrinsic nature, ensuring that decisions are made in harmony with one's authentic self. Here, we explore strategies for a few common authority types:

1. Solar Plexus Authority: Embrace patience as you navigate your emotional waves. Allow yourself the time to feel through your emotions before committing to decisions. This ensures that your choices are well-aligned with your true desires and provide a balanced, fulfilling life.

2. Sacral Authority: Trust your gut reactions and immediate physical responses. Your sacral "yes" or "no" is a powerful guide, enabling you to make decisions in the moment that resonate with your core energy. Practice staying present and honor both your affirmations and declinations to maintain alignment.

3. Splenic Authority: Rely on your instincts and the subtle whispers of your intuition. Your decision-making thrives on spontaneous and immediate insights, so cultivate an environment of calm and presence to better hear your spleen's guidance. Trust your first instincts without overanalyzing.

4. Ego Manifested Authority: Center your decision-making around your personal desires and willpower. Clearly express your needs and intentions to others, ensuring your actions are in line with what you genuinely want. This helps you live a life of integrity and purpose.

5. Self-Projected Authority: Vocalize your thoughts and feelings to gain clarity. Engage with supportive listeners who understand your need to verbalize your ideas. This process helps connect you with your identity, guiding you to decisions that reflect your true self.

6. Ego-Projected Authority: Articulate your goals and desires with confidence. Surround yourself with allies who respect your decision-making process. By staying true to your heart's intentions, you can harness your willpower to pursue a path that aligns with your true ambitions.

7. Menal Authority: Individuals with Mental Authority rely on their intellectual clarity and external feedback to make decisions. This authority is unique in that it is not rooted in the body but rather in the mind's ability to process and articulate thoughts. For those with Mental Authority, decision-making involves engaging in dialogue with trusted confidants to explore different perspectives, allowing them to discern what truly resonates with their mental understanding.

8. Lunar Authority: Take your time to reflect and observe the natural cycles of the moon. Allow a full lunar cycle to inform your significant decisions, embracing patience and introspection. By aligning with the moon's phases, you gain clarity and insight for choices that resonate with your soul.

Each authority type offers a unique lens through which individuals can navigate their lives, helping them make decisions that honor their true nature and lead to a fulfilling existence.
