Splenic
Authority

A quiet instant knowing, in the present moment, that says something once and does not repeat.

Splenic authority applies only with an undefined Solar Plexus and an undefined Sacral.

How splenic authority works

The Spleen is the oldest awareness in the body and the softest. It does not argue, it does not build a case, and it will not say it twice. Most missed splenic knowing was heard and then talked out of.

How to actually use it

Act on the first quiet impression. If you find yourself constructing reasons, you have already left the spleen and moved into the mind.

The mistake: Waiting for the feeling to come back louder. It will not.

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.

Find your authority

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.
