Human Design Strategy and Authority: Every Combination Explained

Your strategy is how you move through the world. Your authority is how you make decisions. Together, they form the most practical — and most sacred — guidance system you were born with.

The Five Strategies

Generator Strategy: To Respond

Wait for something to spark your sacral response before committing your energy.

Manifestor Strategy: To Inform

Initiate — but inform those who will be impacted.

Projector Strategy: To Wait for the Invitation

Wait for recognition and invitation in the big areas of life.

Reflector Strategy: To Wait a Lunar Cycle

Wait approximately 28 days before making major decisions.

The Seven Authorities

1. Emotional Authority

There is no truth in the now. Clarity comes over time.

2. Sacral Authority

Your gut response — a visceral yes or no.

3. Splenic Authority

Instantaneous intuition — a flash of knowing.

4. Ego/Heart Authority

Is my heart in it?

5. Self-Projected Authority

Truth comes through your own voice.

6. Mental/Environmental Authority

Truth found through environment and conversations.

7. Lunar Authority

A full 28-day lunar cycle. Reflectors only.

Finding Your Combination

Your strategy and authority are an experiment to engage with curiously.
