What Is Lunar Authority in Human Design: The 28-Day Cycle?

Lunar Authority is exclusive to Reflectors and involves sampling a decision across a full lunar month. As the moon transits each gate of the bodygraph chart, different perspectives on a choice become available, and clarity arrives naturally at the cycle's end.

How Is Human Design Authority Determined?

Contemporary interpretive framework. Human Design is a modern synthesis drawing on the I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, and the Hindu chakra system. It is not a medical or psychological assessment.

Your authority is identified by looking at which centers are defined in your bodygraph chart, then applying a hierarchy: Solar Plexus authority takes precedence if that center is defined, followed by Sacral, Splenic, Ego, Self-Projected (G center), Mental (for certain Projectors), and finally Lunar (exclusive to Reflectors). The idea is that the authority indicates which internal signal to follow when making decisions.

Both Human Design and Vedic astrology use planetary positions at birth to map personal patterns. Your Vedic birth chart shows the positions of the nine classical planets, your ascendant, nakshatra, and current planetary period.
