Episode 12 - Introduction to Mental + Lunar Authorities

Transcript

Hi, friends. Okay, we're down to the last couple of inner authorities, and this one is another one, exclusive to the projector. This is known as the mental authority. Sometimes you'll see it on a chart as environmental authority or no authority even, and so it's all talking about the same thing. This refers to somebody who has no centers in their chart defined below the throat, so they may have the throat and the ana defined.

The throat, the ana and the head, or just the head and the ana defined, which means that there's a lot of openness in their chart. They're really open to feeling everything from everybody around them, the pressure from others to do that. Workforce energy, fears and insights and intuition, as well as emotional feelings and identity and direction, you know, so there's a lot of openness and willpower.

and so there's a lot of openness here that can get really clouded for the mental projector as far as you know, what is mine and what is coming from the people around me. And then there's also a lot of activity in the mind, because remember, this is somebody who always has the Ness Center defined, and so there's a lot of mental processing that's happening.

And when we talk about the. Inner authority being a way to get out of the mind. This is one that's really tricky in a lot of ways because the mental authority projector has so much going on in their mind at all times that it can be really hard to step away from that and consider like, what am I feeling in my body?

Does this feel right to me? And so. Because they have an open G center, especially, it's gonna be very important for them to be in an environment that feels good when they make a decision. If that environment does not feel good, they're not going to make an aligned decision. So they either need to wait to make a decision or they need to change the environment.

This can be physically leaving the environment that they're in. It can be a change of people that are in the environment. So you may have a child with this inner authority who says yes to something, and then another person walks into the room and says, I'm gonna go with you.

And now this child changes their mind because that person doesn't feel good or safe to them, , or doesn't feel aligned for them. So, you know, this authority can take a lot longer as well, you know, because they're sensing, they're taking in everything from their environment. There's a lot of filtering that's happening and there's a lot of, you know, sorting through the mind.

This is somebody who's going to need a good sounding board, somebody who, that they can talk to about their decision, bounce ideas off of, have some reflection and you know, ask them really good questions that make them think more. To make them consider aspects that maybe they hadn't thought of before.

And it's gonna be really important for them to ask multiple people who are going to give them different environmental impacts, different, identity impacts. And they may have people that are their, go-to people for certain things in their life. So if it comes to.

A decision on a relationship. Maybe they have somebody who they feel really comfortable, who feels like they support them in helping them make their own decisions around relationships. They may have somebody different for career opportunities and paths, and they may have somebody different for friendships.

So there's a lot of different aspects to this that may need to be considered, and it's important to know that. It really just comes down to, does it feel good to you? Do you feel like yourself? Do you feel in alignment with who you are? Do you feel recognized for who you are? Do you feel like you're in a good place with good people?

And the other part of that is like if this is somebody who's moving, they may need to really go be in that place. If they can actually sit in that apartment or house or whatever with nobody else in it, does it feel good to them, before they sign that lease or say yes. They may need to go visit a new town before they move there.

They may need to, see what a job is kind of like, and maybe shadow somebody before they say yes to it. So it's really about what does it feel like for them? What does the environment feel like? Do they feel like themselves? And then they just need time. They really need time to sit with it and decide and not feel pressured.

Okay, so the last inner authority is the lunar authority, and this is exclusive to the reflector. This one's a little unique because it needs a lot more time than the others on a consistent basis. So for anything that's a bigger decision in the reflector life, they need. To wait a full lunar cycle, which is 29 days to make decisions for themselves.

And I mentioned this as it's part of the strategy of the reflector as well and the reflector recording, but what this means is that every decision that they make, that's a big decision in life. They need to wait that full lunar cycle as the moon transits all 64 gates of the human design chart so that they can get familiar with all of those different energies and what it means.

so that they can be around different people in different auras who have different configurations in their chart, who bring different energy to them to consider what that feels like. If they were to say yes to this opportunity or to say no to it, they need a lot of time. And the more we pressure somebody as a reflector with this lunar authority, the harder it is for them to make a decision.

And this is contrary to what. We do in this society is to tell people to make a decision and stick with it and make it quickly. and that's just really not how this person is designed. So remembering that this is somebody who is, you know, less than 1% of the population, they're fighting an uphill battle as it is to different than everybody else.

And so we need to remember kindness and patience and acceptance as they are making these decisions. If you have a child who has this inner authority, it's really important not to pressure them into making decisions before they're ready, and it may take them a really long time. So if you have a, sacral authority or a splenic authority or something, you know, an inner authority that's a lot faster moving, it may be really challenging for you to wait for your.

Reflector to make a decision, but it's important that you don't pressure them into making it before they're ready. So learning how to work with these different, inner authorities and how the may work with or against each other can be really important. The faster moving inner authorities are the, sacral center, the Splenic Center.

And then the rest are a little slower. Moving with the mental authority and the lunar authority being the slowest, I would say, and making decisions. Obviously, the lunar authority needs more time, but even the emotional authority can need a lot of time, even longer than a reflector at times, if it's a really big decision and it has a lot of consequences or impact in their life.

And just to dip back into the lunar authority for a moment, this is the inner authority that, you know, it does take a lunar cycle for them to make a decision. But remember, as I said in the reflector recording that sometimes a reflector has been.

Processing an idea for a long time before they actually verbalize it and bring it to, their community and talk about it. So if you were reflector partner or child or anybody comes up with an idea that they want to, that on, that sounds like a big change for them and it's something that they would probably need to sit with.

Get curious and ask them, how long have you been thinking about this? Have you talked to anybody about it? What's your decision making process been like? And get curious because they may be several cycles into their decision making and they just haven't verbalized it to you before. So yes, they need time, but also honor what they're telling you If they've given it time and now you are just seeing the final stages of their decision making process, it's important to honor that as well.

Okay, so that wraps up the inner authorities. We've covered them all. I'd love to know if you have questions about them. I'd love to know if you have any of the rare inner authorities and what your, decision making process has been like, or any challenges that you've had in identifying with it or connecting with it.

So reach out if you have, and you have anything you wanna share. , I might be interested in even bringing you on and having a discussion with you about what does it feel like to have these inner authorities that are more rare so that others who have them have, you know, more insight from somebody who is actually living with this inner authority.

I, myself have a emotional authority as a projector, so mine is pretty common, but, You know, I, I do have a mental projector and a emotional projector and a splenic projector in my home, so I've gotten to experience some of those as well. but they're not mine. So I'd love to hear from you if you have one of these authorities and there's something that you'd like to share.
