Lunar

Authority is the system's word for where your clearest signal on a decision is said to come from. Here's how it frames Lunar — as a lens for noticing your own process.

In the Human Design tradition, lunar authority belongs to a rhythm measured in weeks rather than minutes. The idea is that a big decision grows clearer when you let it travel with you through roughly a full moon cycle — around twenty-eight days — sampling how it feels in different moods, rooms, and company along the way. Rushing is simply out of tune with this design; time is treated as your ally, not a delay. As an experiment, you might carry an important choice for a month, talking it over with trusted people and watching what stays consistent. When the picture holds steady across the cycle, you will have your own answer, arrived at in your own time.

The seven authorities

Which authority is yours?

Authority follows from which centers are defined in your bodygraph, in a fixed hierarchy. It's computed, not chosen — the calculator shows yours and why.
