INNER AUTHORITY — YOUR BODY’S TRUE DECISION‑MAKING MECHANISM
The Nine Officers and the Mythic Intelligence of Your Design
In True Sidereal Human Design, your Inner Authority is the biological and energetic mechanism that tells you how and when to make correct decisions. It is not mental. It is not conceptual. It is not psychological. Your Authority is governed by one of the Nine Officers — the gods who rule your centers and speak through your body. When you follow your Authority, life becomes mechanically correct: less resistance, cleaner timing, steadier relationships, and decisions that feel inevitable rather than forced.
THE INNER AUTHORITIES (TRUE SIDEREAL)
Below are the seven Inner Authorities, rewritten through your mythic system — short, potent, and mechanically precise.
EMOTIONAL AUTHORITY — POSEIDON
Instant Truth. Timed Expression.
Truth Is Known Instantly. Timing Is the Only Variable.
If you have Emotional Authority, your Solar Plexus (Poseidon) reads emotional truth immediately. It is a constant atmospheric scanner — the most accurate lie detector in the system.
The knowing is instant. What takes time is the timing of expression. Your emotional wave is not about gaining clarity. It is about choosing the correct moment to speak or act based on:
-
the emotional atmosphere.
-
the other person’s regulation.
-
the evidence your body is gathering.
-
the precision required for the truth to land cleanly.
Sometimes Poseidon calls out the truth immediately. Other times he waits — not from uncertainty, but from strategic timing.
Your correct decision emerges when the emotional charge settles enough for you to act with accuracy, not impulse.
Truth is instant. Timing is the Authority.
SACRAL AUTHORITY — DIONYSUS
The Gut Response That Cannot Lie
If you have Sacral Authority, your body responds before your mind does. Dionysus speaks through:
- “uh‑huh” → yes
- “uh‑uh” → no
- silence → not for you. This is not intuition. This is not emotion.
This is life force responding to life. Your job is to honor the gut response and let it guide what you engage with.
SPLENIC AUTHORITY — ARTEMIS
The First Whisper Is the Truth
Splenic Authority is primal, ancient, and instantaneous. Artemis speaks once
Splenic Authority is primal, ancient, and instantaneous. Artemis speaks once — a whisper, a ping, a sudden knowing.
If you miss it, it does not repeat.
This Authority is designed to keep you healthy, safe, aligned in the present moment. Your job is to trust the first hit, not the story that comes after.
EGO / WILLPOWER AUTHORITY — EROS
Desire, Will, and the Power of Commitment
Ego Authority is rare and unmistakable.
Your correct decisions come from:
-
what you genuinely want
-
what you have the will to commit to
-
what honors your value and self‑worth
Eros governs desire, oaths, and personal power.
When you say “I will,” the world rearranges itself around that commitment. For the full temple page, see:
SELF‑PROJECTED AUTHORITY — APHRODITE
Your Truth Is Heard Through Your Own Voice
Self‑Projected Authority belongs to a specific subset of Projectors.
Your clarity emerges when you hear yourself speak — not through advice, but through resonance.
Aphrodite governs identity, direction, and the heart’s truth.
Your voice is your compass. For the full temple page, see:
LUNAR AUTHORITY — SELENE
The 28‑Day Cycle of Reflective Knowing
Reflectors have no defined centers. Your decision‑making process follows
the lunar cycle. Selene governs reflection, timing, and environmental sampling.
Your truth emerges as you move through the moon’s phases and experience different environments.
MENTAL / ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORITY — APOLLO + HERMES
Clarity Through the Right People and the Right Place
Mental Projectors do not have a motorized / emotional Authority. Your knowing comes from:
-
speaking your thoughts aloud.
-
being in the correct environment.
-
interacting with people who see you clearly.
Apollo (Head) provides inspiration. Hermes (Ajna) provides interpretation.
Together, they create clarity through reflection.

No. It is fixed at birth.
