The Solar Plexus Center is the center of emotional awareness. It operates in waves, creating the emotional authority for roughly half the population and deep empathic sensitivity for those who have it open.
Emotions & Feelings
The Solar Plexus is the center of emotions, feelings, moods, and passion. It is both a motor and an awareness center. When it is defined, it produces a consistent emotional wave that cycles through highs and lows. When it is undefined, it amplifies and takes on the emotions of others.
The emotional wave is not random. It is a biological and energetic cycle. For people with emotional authority, this wave means there is no truth in the moment. Clarity comes only after time has passed and the wave has been ridden through its highs and lows.
When the Solar Plexus is undefined, the person is deeply sensitive to the emotional environment. They can feel other people's emotions as if they were their own. The wisdom is in learning to recognize what is theirs and what is borrowed, and not making decisions based on amplified emotions.
The Solar Plexus is the newest center to evolve in humanity. It is responsible for the depth of human feeling, emotional intimacy, and the capacity for passion. It is also the source of much confusion when its energy is not understood.
The defined Solar Plexus person wakes up with a consistent emotional energy that moves through its own cycle. They may feel deeply, passionately, and intensely. Daily life is about recognizing that emotions are a wave, not a fixed state. Decisions need to wait for clarity across the wave.
The undefined Solar Plexus person is emotionally absorbent. They may feel great in one environment and terrible in another, often because they are picking up the emotional field around them. Daily life is about knowing whose feelings they are feeling and not identifying with every emotional wave.
Both configurations benefit from giving emotions space. The defined Solar Plexus needs time to ride the wave. The undefined Solar Plexus needs space to discharge borrowed emotions. Both are learning that emotions are information, not necessarily truth.
Emotions, feelings, moods, desires, passion

Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) but evolved beyond - Emotional intelligence and human spirit
The open Solar Plexus becomes wise about emotions, learning to experience them without identifying with them and becoming a wise reader of the emotional environment. It knows the difference between its own feelings and absorbed emotions.
At its highest, the Solar Plexus experiences the full spectrum of human emotion as a rich tapestry of feeling—riding waves with awareness, making decisions with clarity, and sharing emotional depth that moves and transforms others.
Your emotional wave influences your partner. Communicate about your emotional cycles so they understand the highs and lows aren't personal. Wait for clarity before making relationship decisions.
You deeply feel your partner's emotions—often more intensely than they do. Create space to discharge absorbed emotions. Don't make decisions based on amplified feelings.
Connected to lungs, kidneys, pancreas, and nervous system. Repressed emotions manifest in respiratory issues, kidney problems, and digestive disturbances. Emotional awareness is key to physical health.
Track your emotional wave throughout the day. Notice highs and lows without identifying with them. Before making decisions, ask: 'Am I at an emotional extreme?' Give yourself time for clarity to emerge.
Each gate is a specific frequency of this center's theme.
The Solar Plexus Center is the center of emotional awareness, feelings, moods, and passion. It is both a motor and an awareness center.
A defined Solar Plexus means you have a consistent emotional wave. Your emotions cycle through highs and lows, and clarity comes over time, not in the moment.
An undefined Solar Plexus means you are highly sensitive to the emotions of others. You can take on and amplify emotional energy from your environment.
The emotional wave is a cyclical movement through different emotional states. For those with emotional authority, the wave means there is no truth in the now; clarity comes after the wave has been ridden through its highs and lows.
It is related to the solar plexus chakra but has its own specific Human Design mechanics. It governs emotional energy and, in some cases, emotional authority.
