Ego authority comes from the Heart center: willpower and self-worth. It is uncommon and has two versions: Ego Manifested (Manifestors, Heart connected to the Throat) and Ego Projected (Projectors, Heart connected to the G center).
This guide is part of the Human Design authorities. To see whether it shows up in yours, get your free Human Design chart or start with the complete Human Design guide.
Deciding from willpower
The key question is: what do I want? What is in it for me? For this authority, that is not selfishness: it is the correct way to decide. If your heart isn't in something, you won't have the will to sustain it.
Ego Manifested and Ego Projected
With Ego Manifested, truth shows up in what you say spontaneously. With Ego Projected, talking your wishes through with trusted people lets you hear whether you really want to commit.
Ego authority and the body
The Heart center is associated with the heart, stomach, gallbladder and thymus. Overpromising, forcing willpower or living to prove your worth takes a toll.
