Type, strategy and authority
The three things worth knowing before anything else in your chart.
On this page
If you read nothing else in your chart, read these three. Everything else is detail hanging off them.
Type
Your type comes out of which centres are defined and how they connect. It is not a personality category — it describes how your energy is built to meet the world. There are five: Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector and Reflector.
The app shows your type at the top of the Chart page and on the dashboard.
Strategy
Each type has a strategy — the way of engaging that tends to produce less resistance. Generators respond rather than initiate. Projectors wait for recognition and invitation. Manifestors inform before acting. Reflectors take a lunar cycle over anything major.
Strategy is not a rule you obey. It is a description of what has usually worked for people built like you, offered as something to test.
Authority
Authority is where your reliable yes and no comes from, and it matters more than type in daily life. It is derived from which of your centres are defined, in a fixed order of precedence: emotional first, then sacral, then splenic, and so on down to environmental and lunar authority for Reflectors.
The practical difference is timing. Emotional authority means there is no truth in the moment — you need to feel a decision across time before it settles. Sacral authority is immediate and physical. Splenic authority speaks once, quietly, and does not repeat itself.
