What does the Human Design Authority mean?

Human Design Authority explained

The Human Design Authority is one of the most important pieces (if not the most!) we can find in our Human Design Bodygraph.

It refers to the way in which we need to support ourselves to do one of the most vital things in life: make decisions. 👍👎

In fact, what the Human Design Authority helps us to do is go back to exactly where & how we’re making the most aligned decisions for ourselves. The ones that feel right for us, both in the short and the long term. Even if they don’t always feel comfortable, even if our loved ones don’t take them well or even if they don’t make any logical sense at the beginning.

Human Design Authority is here to show us how making the right decision feels in our body and, by acting from this place, how it can bring us the peace, success and satisfaction we’re meant to have.

Where can you find your Human Design Authority?

Find out what your Human Design Authority is.

There are two ways in which you can use your Human Design Bodygraph to find out what your Human Design Authority is. One is super easy to do, and the other needs some more work from your side.

Let’s take a look at them! 🥰

The easier way:
👉 Looking at your Human Design Chart Properties straightaway.

When you get your Human Design Chart, it’s always going to come with a list of your Bodygraph properties. Next to the “Authority” section, you’ll see one of the 7 Authority Types mentioned.

The more advanced way:
👉 Looking at your Defined and Undefined Centers in your Bodygraph.

You can also find it out by checking what combination of specific centers you have defined (colored) and/or undefined (white). We’ll let you know in each Authority how the specific combination of centers works.

Emotional Authority in Human Design

🧡 Human Design, Solar Plexus Center Authority.

If your Solar Plexus is defined (in color) this means your Human Design Authority is Emotional. It also means you can either be a Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector or Manifestor.

With this Authority, you’re meant to wait for your emotions to settle before making decisions. You need to feel in an emotional state of neutral confidence before taking action towards (or against) whatever has come to your reality.

Sacral Authority in Human Design

🔥 Human Design, Sacral Center Authority.

If your Solar Plexus is undefined (in white) and the Sacral Center is defined (colored), this means your Human Design Authority is Sacral. It also means you can only be a Generator or a Manifesting Generator.

With this Authority, you’re meant to trust your gut at all times. That means waiting for your physical reactions towards (or against) something that has come to your reality, BEFORE taking any action or making a decision.

Splenic Authority in Human Design

🤫 Human Design, Spleen Center Authority.

If your Solar Plexus and Sacral Center are undefined (in white) and your Spleen Center is defined (colored) this means your Human Design Authority is Splenic. It also means you can only be a Manifestor or a Projector type.

With this Authority, you’re meant to trust your intuition as if your life depends on it (because it does). You’re highly intuitive and anytime your intuition gives you a signal to move forward or against something, know for sure that it’s the right choice.

Ego Authority in Human Design

📢 Human Design, Ego Center Authority.

If your four bottom centers are undefined (Solar Plexus, Sacral, Spleen and Root in white) and your Ego Center (or Heart Center) is defined (colored) this means your Human Design Authority is Ego Authority. It also means you can only be a Manifestor or a Projector type.

With this Authority, you’re meant to trust your voice when you’re speaking with no filters on and no mental logic involved. You’re also meant to make decisions and take actions toward (or against) the things you really want and desire, even if they may appear egoistical for society’s standards.

Self-Projected Authority in Human Design

🙊 Human Design, G Center Authority.

If your five bottom centers are undefined (Solar Plexus, Sacral, Spleen, Root and Ego in white) and your G Center (or Self Center) is defined (colored) this means your Human Design Authority is Self-Projected Authority. It also means you can only be a Projector type.

With this Authority, you’re meant to talk out loud with no filters on and no mental logic involved. Your truth (and best decision for you) will be revealed when you speak with honesty and from your heart.

Mental Authority in Human Design

🧠 Human Design, Head, Ajana and/or Throat Centers Authority.

If your six bottom centers are undefined (Solar Plexus, Sacral, Spleen, Root, Ego and G Center in white) and any of the top three centers are defined (Head, Ajna and/or Throat in color) this means your Human Design Authority is Mental Authority. It also means you can only be a Projector type.

With this Authority, you’re meant to talk out loud with no filters on and no mental logic involved. Your truth (and best decision for you in the future) will be revealed when you speak with honesty and from your heart with the right people. You should take into account that your physical environment plays a huge role for you.

If you’re in the wrong physical space, but with the right people, your decision may not be the best either. Both conditions are required! 🙄

Lunar Authority in Human Design

🌜 Human Design, Reflector Type Authority.

If ALL of your centers are undefined (each center in white) this means you have a Lunar Authority in Human Design. This also means you can only be a Reflector type.

With a Human Design Lunar Authority you’re meant to give yourself a lot of time to sense if an opportunity is right for you (or not). The minimum time Human Design recommends for crucial decisions in your life is about 28 days (a whole lunar cycle). 🙀

Of course, this doesn’t apply to your daily decisions AT ALL. Being surrounded by the right people in the right environment is absolutely essential to your decision-making process.

Learn MORE about your Human Design Authority

Human Design Authority, one of the most essential aspects.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to everything you can find out about your Human Design Authority. This is truly one of the most essential aspects to implement in order for you to start playing with your Human Design knowledge.

You can learn many things about your Bodygraph, but if you’re not aware of the signals your Authority is trying to tell you or if you don’t trust it and take action from this place, it’s going to take way longer to start aligning with your true self.

That’s why we have designed our Human Design (Reading) Report in such a practical way. We wanted to make sure that you have actionable tools to apply your Human Design to your life.

So, if you want to learn a lot more about your specific Human Design Authority (and many other aspects of your Bodygraph), you’ll find everything you need in our Human Design (Reading) Report.
