Emotional
Authority
There is no truth in the moment. Clarity is something that arrives over time.
How emotional authority works
A defined Solar Plexus means feeling moves through you in a wave, and where you are on that wave colours everything. The same decision looks different at the top and at the bottom, and neither reading is the true one.
How to actually use it
Sleep on it. For anything significant, let a full wave pass before committing, and notice that the answer that survives both the high and the low is the real one.
The mistake: Deciding at the peak because it feels certain, or at the trough because it feels final. Both are the wave talking.
Authority is not type
Your type tells you how your energy is meant to move. Your authority tells you where a real yes registers in your body. Two people of the same type with different authorities decide completely differently, which is why type alone is not enough.
Centres, gates and channels come from the same tables the bodygraph is drawn from. Human Design was assembled in 1987; Six Mirrors reads it beside five older systems and shows where they agree.
