The mind is a wonderful tool for processing data, but it is a terrible decision-maker. In Human Design, your Authority is your true inner compass. It never lies.
Emotional Authority (50% of People)
If your Solar Plexus is defined, you have Emotional Authority. Strategy: There is no truth in the now. You must wait out your emotional wave. Never make a big decision when you are super happy or super sad. Sleep on it.
Sacral Authority (Generators)
Your gut is your god. It speaks in sounds: 'Uh-huh' (Yes) or 'Un-uh' (No). It is immediate. If your gut doesn't light up, the answer is no. Don't let your mind talk you into it.
Splenic Authority
The oldest awareness. It is a quiet, instant whisper of intuition. It speaks once and never repeats itself. It says 'Don't go down that street' or 'Call this person now'. You must learn to trust the whisper.
