Emotional Authority (Solar Plexus) — an inner authority in Human Design — your reliable way of making correct decisions. The most common authority in Human Design. Decisions are made through the emotional wave, never in the moment. Emotional authority arises when the Solar Plexus center is defined. Your emotional wave — from euphoria to depression — passes through natural cycles. Clarity only arrives after you have let the wave rise and fall several times. No decision made at the 'peak' or 'bottom' of the wave is your true decision.
Emotional Authority (Solar Plexus)
The most common authority in Human Design. Decisions are made through the emotional wave, never in the moment.
How it works
Emotional authority arises when the Solar Plexus center is defined. Your emotional wave — from euphoria to depression — passes through natural cycles. Clarity only arrives after you have let the wave rise and fall several times. No decision made at the 'peak' or 'bottom' of the wave is your true decision.
Decision-making process
When an important decision arises, your first reaction is just the first point on the wave. Wait a day, two days, a week. Ask yourself on different days: 'How do I feel about this now?' When your answer remains consistently positive even on an 'ordinary' emotional day — that is your clarity. The ideal is to reach 'no regrets' — a state of calm approval, not euphoria.
Strengths
- ✓Deep wisdom through the experience of emotional cycles
- ✓Decisions with long-lasting clarity and stability
- ✓Ability to sense the emotional climate of the environment
Not-self state
When you bypass your authority, you make decisions at the peak of euphoria (and later regret them) or during depression (and miss opportunities). You say 'yes' and 'no' too quickly. The not-self state is emotional instability driving your choices.
