In my last blog post, you learned all about your type. Now, it’s time to learn authority.

First things first 📢 One thing you have to know about your chart is that you don’t need to learn everything there is to know about your human design! This is one of the biggest jokes - that you need to completely understand and know every gate, channel, line, and detail of your body graph.

You could spend hours, days, weeks, even months googling and taking classes to learn about Human Design. You think that if you just know all there is to know then you’ll finally be able to live it.

No.

The better way to learn is to practice experimenting and embodying it first. Here are three things to learn more about so that you can practice living your design (like, today):

ONE. LOOK AT YOUR CENTERS

Notice which of your centers are colored in (“defined”) and aren’t colored in (“undefined”).

Your defined centers are where your consistent energy lies - aka your paths of least resistance. Your defined centers will determine your Type (aura), Strategy (the energy you Be), and Authority (inner guidance).

TWO. DETERMINE YOUR AUTHORITY

The centers that you have defined will determine your Authority. This is how you were designed to reliably make decisions. There is a “hierarchy” of Authority. This means that you may have several energies to help inform your decisions. But, there is only one that is the most reliable for you.

The hierarchy of Human Design Authority is:

Emotional Authority (50% of the population has this authority)
Sacral Authority
Splenic Authority
Ego Authority
Self-Projected Authority
Outer Authority (Mental Projector)
Lunar Authority (Reflector: all centers undefined)

Even if you have every center defined, Emotional Authority would be the most reliable for you because it’s the highest in the hierarchy, followed by the rest in order. All of your defined centers can help inform your decisions, but your Authority is most consistent and reliable. This is essential for you to understand, especially when it comes to making big, life-altering decisions.

You really have to embody and live your design to find what works for you. But, here’s a hint at how to practice using your Authority to make decisions.

Emotional Authority

Feel all your feels until you reach your emotional clarity (take your time!)

Sacral Authority

Connect with your body and trust your gut’s “HELL YEAH” or “HELL NO”

Splenic Authority

Your intuition will give you a subtle signal. Trust it, even when it doesn’t make any sense.

Ego Authority

What’s in it for you? Is it an even energy exchange? Talk it out.

Self-Projected Authority

Talk, talk, talk. Process through talking and you’ll hear your truth.

Outer Authority

Get back to your center and into the right environment and talk to someone you trust.

Lunar Authority

Take your sweet time, ideally a full lunar cycle. Feel and talk it out with someone you trust.

THREE. CLEAR YOUR AURa

Your type is associated with your Aura (the electromagnetic field that is you and about 6 feet around you in all directions) and it describes how you interact with others.

The four Auras are:

Open, pulling aura (Generators & MGs): When you’re clear and you trust your body’s response, your Aura is magnetic.
Dense, protected aura (Manifestors): Your Aura protects your visions from the people not meant for you.
Laser-focused, penetrating aura (Projectors): Your Aura allows you to see things about others that they don’t see for themselves.
Sampling aura (Reflectors): Have fun taste testing the energy around you. Surround yourself with the energy that you like.

You constantly absorb and amplify energy from your environment and people around you through your undefined centers. Knowing this, you can work on simple embodiment practices to clear your Aura. Here are some of my favorite ways to clear energy from my aura. I do at least one (but usually several) of these practices on a daily basis so I can get back to myself.

Intuitive movement
Visualization meditation
Tapping (EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique)
Take a bath
Journal
Active breathwork
Sing/scream
Orgasm (my personal favorite)

Before you go down the rabbit hole and learn everything there is to know about Human Design, first start to just practice the basics.

Learn about the most important and all-encompassing things first like your Type, Strategy and Authority.
Look for examples in your own life and in people around you.
Become aware of how your current patterns contradict your design so you can be aware of your conditioning.
Start experimenting and disrupting those patterns

Now that you’ve learned a bit about your Human Design, get off your butt and go EMBODY IT!
