Human Design · Inner authority
Ego / Heart Authority
Heart center defined to Throat or G · rare, mostly Manifestors/Projectors
How it works
Decisions run on willpower and genuine desire: what the heart truly wants and is willing to commit resources to. Two flavors: Ego Manifested (Heart motorized to Throat — hear yourself speak it; Manifestors) and Ego Projected (Heart connected to G, not directly to Throat — needs recognition/invitation; Projectors).
In plain language
The honest question is unapologetically personal: what's in it for me — and am I willing to put my will behind it? Selfish-sounding, but for this design self-honest commitment IS integrity.
Working with it
Say options out loud; track what you actually promise vs. what you can keep. Don't commit will to what the heart doesn't want.
Reflection prompts
- What am I pretending to want?
- Where is my willpower already committed without my consent?
How it fits your chart
Your inner authority is your reliable decision-making mechanism — where your dependable “yes” and “no” actually live, almost never in the mind. It works together with your energy type: the type describes how your energy engages, the authority describes how you decide.
