Lunar Authority in Human Design
Lunar Authority is how you make decisions you can trust. Clarity through a full lunar cycle. A Reflector needs about a month with a decision to feel their true response. The moon’s rhythm is the authority. Wait one full lunar cycle before major decisions. It belongs to Reflectors.

Clarity through a full lunar cycle.
Clarity through a full lunar cycle. A Reflector needs about a month with a decision to feel their true response. The moon’s rhythm is the authority.
Using lunar authority means wait one full lunar cycle before major decisions
Wait one full lunar cycle before major decisions. Notice how the decision feels at different points in the month, and talk it through along the way.
What it feels like when it speaks
A slow unfolding over about 28 days. Different feelings at different phases, and a clarity that settles as the cycle completes.
It comes from outside the body
Reflectors have no defined centres. Their authority is time: a full cycle of the Moon, about 28 days, lets them sample a decision through every part of their open design before they commit.
How it works with each type that has it
Authority sits inside strategy: the strategy says when to engage, the authority says whether to.
Reflectors with lunar Authority
Strategy: Wait a Full Lunar Cycle. Give yourself a full lunar cycle before major decisions. Then let the lunar authority decide.
The mistakes people make with it
Deciding quickly because of outside pressure. Forgetting that clarity takes time. Treating the changes of view across the month as indecision rather than as the process.
