Where it comes from
Your Solar Plexus is defined — the center of emotions. It lives in a wave: a rise, a fall, and calm points in between. The wave runs on its own; you can’t stop it by effort.
How it sounds
It doesn’t sound like anything in the moment — and that is the main thing. On the rise everything seems wonderful, on the fall the very same thing seems terrible. Neither of those points is the truth.
What it looks like in life
On Thursday you’re itching to renovate the bathroom; on Sunday the same bathroom seems perfectly tolerable and the money is needed elsewhere. You wrote a resignation letter twice and both times it stayed in the drawer. On Saturday you invite half the city over and grill meat in the yard, and on Wednesday you don’t pick up the phone and quietly rejoice that nobody made it over. The people at home learned long ago to look at you over breakfast and decide whether to bring up school and money today. You notice it later than anyone: it seems to you that circumstances were changing, while you were simply responding to them honestly.
How long to wait
From a few hours to a few days, depending on the size of the decision. Sleep on a small one for a night, give a big one a week to settle.
Where people most often go wrong
Saying “yes” on the rise and then looking for a way to back out. And the reverse: turning down on the fall something you needed.
Where to start
Take a rule: to any significant offer, answer “I need to think until tomorrow.” Not because you doubt, but because clarity comes only with time.
Don’t decide at the peak of emotion. Let time pass.
How it connects to the rest of the chart
Authority works as a pair with the Strategy of your Type: first Strategy brings the situation to you, then Authority tells you whether it’s yours or not. And Profile describes the role in which all of this happens. The defined centers are what Authority is made of.
This Authority comes from a defined Solar Plexus center. It occurs in these Types: Generator, Manifesting Generator, Manifestor, Projector.
