Lunar Authority in Human Design: how you decide
Big questions need time with you, about four weeks. Anyone who rushes you gets an answer that is not yours.
Where this comes from
Human Design: the inner authority is the place that carries a decision for you. Which one it is depends on which centres in your chart are defined; there is a fixed order for that.

Lunar Authority, Lunar Cycle
The Essence: You are the mirror of the cosmos, and your decision-making follows the oldest rhythm of nature: the 28-day lunar cycle. As a Reflector you have no defined center that gives you an inner authority. Instead, you move through the entire spectrum of human experience with every lunar cycle. Major decisions need a full cycle, 28 days in which you carry the question through all moon phases and observe how your perception changes.
The Shadow: In a world that demands instant answers, a 28-day process feels absurd. The pressure to decide quickly can push you into snap reactions that do not serve your truth. Another shadow: you identify with the energies you mirror and lose contact with your own, ever-changing core.
Cosmic Advice: Honor your lunar rhythm as sacred. Keep a decision journal: note each day of the lunar cycle how you feel about a pending decision. After 28 days you will see a pattern, a constant amid the flux. That is your truth. You are not slow; you are thorough. And in a world of hasty decisions, that is a superpower.
