Understanding the Spleenic Authority

The podcast episode discusses the concept of the spleenic authority in human design. The spleenic authority is about instincts and intuitive hits that guide decision-making. People with this authority experience strong, clear, and instant instincts that cannot be logically justified. The more these instincts are ignored, the quieter they become. It is suggested to write down and acknowledge these instincts to develop a better relationship with the spleen. For those without a spleenic authority, it is important not to rely on instincts for decision-making. If the spleen is undefined, one may be picking up on other people's instincts. If the spleen is defined but not the primary authority, instincts should serve as additional information rather than the main decision-making factor.
