What are strategy and authority in Human Design?

Strategy is the correct way to act for your type; authority is your inner “compass” for making the right decisions.

Strategy and authority are the key to the entire Human Design system, its practical essence. Strategy depends on your type and tells you HOW to act correctly: for a Generator — to respond, for a Projector — to wait for the invitation, for a Manifestor — to inform, for a Reflector — to wait a full moon cycle.

Authority is your inner decision-making mechanism, what to rely on when you choose. It comes in different forms: emotional (decide not at the peak of emotions, but after riding out the wave), sacral (a bodily “uh-huh / uh-uh” response), splenic (instant intuition), and others. Authority hints not “what to think,” but “how to know if a decision is right specifically for you.”

The point is to make decisions in your own way, not the way “it’s done.” Honest framing: this is a model of self-knowledge, not science. You can find out your strategy and authority by building a chart in the Human Design section.
