Authority

Your personal decision-making mechanism in Human Design.

What this means

Types include Emotional (wait for clarity), Sacral (gut response), Splenic (intuitive knowing), Ego (willpower), Self-Projected (talking it out), Mental (environmental sounding board), and Lunar (wait a full moon cycle).

In practice

In K A X A N T A, authority is one of the concepts The Architect cross-references when synthesising your reading. The human design engine surfaces it alongside seven other wisdom traditions so you can see how the same question reads through multiple lenses.
