Human Design describes decision-making through a single navigational unit — Strategy and Authority. Together they show how your particular type is built to engage with life, and where in the body genuine clarity tends to arise before a decision is made.

The Splenic Center is one of my favourite centers in the chart — it is defined in my design and also determines my Authority. Before I encountered Human Design, I already had a felt sense of what spontaneous, instinctive knowing felt like. Decisions that arrived without reasoning, hunches that did not come from the mind, a kind of navigational sense that others sometimes found difficult to follow. Understanding the Splenic Center gave that experience a language and a context.
