Making Aligned Decisions as an Emotional Authority in Human Design
The Newton’s Cradle, the row of swinging spheres that plink, plink, plink their demonstration of action and motion, adorn many an office desk.

What it also does very well is demonstrate how you make aligned decisions you can trust, when you are an emotional / solar plexus authority in Human Design.
If you’re not an emotional authority, then stick with me because this also matters when you are selling to someone who is.
When your inner authority is ’emotional / solar plexus‘, from the moment you learn of something for the first time, (say for example, an offer to work with a coach that will be a stretch financially) you MUST allow your emotions to fully complete their processing cycle.
Otherwise, the decision will very likely change when the processing cycle does complete.
That can be problematic if you’ve made a commitment you cannot easily back out of.
This emotional processing cycle can take five to seven days in my experience.
What the emo processing cycle looks like…
Soon after receiving the new info, you’ll be certain that option A is the way to go.
Then, your decision will swing the other way, making option B top dog.
Next, you will spend a couple of days flip flopping wildly between the two, feeling uncertain that either are right.
This period is the danger-zone, where you are vulnerable to questioning yourself, doubting your ability and succumbing to pressure to just pick one.
DO NOT COMMIT TO YOUR DECISION YET!
Let your Newton’s Cradle spheres plink, plink, plink away in the background.
They’re working FOR you.
Trust them.
Then, when the cycle completes, silence… the plinking stops.
Now, you’ll feel one of two ways:
[1] OMG excited… perhaps still with a bit of underlying nervousness.
This is your aligned YES!
[2] Bored, maybe not even thought about the thing for a day or two, feeling like you’re over it.
This is your aligned NO!
When you listen to and follow your inner authority, you’ll always make aligned decisions you can 100% TRUST to be RIGHT for you.
When you are the emotional authority buying…
DO NOT allow yourself to be swayed into saying yes before your cycle has completed, especially on the promise of fast-action ‘rewards’, when committing now would cause issues if you change your mind in a few days.
When you are selling to someone who is an emotional authority…
Give them the space to allow their cycle to complete, without pressurising them for a faster decision.
Sometimes, the decision will not make sense logically.
Trust it anyway, go with it now, and know the reason it is right will come to light at some stage.
How fun!
