We dive into why January 1st isn't the energetic new year (the Human Design new year starts January 22nd), what the Quarter of Mutation means for how you should actually be using this month, and why New Year's resolutions often fail.

    173- DECEMBER 2025: HUMAN DESIGN SUN AND EARTH TRANSITS

    In this episode, Hali and I walked through the six Sun/Earth transits that carry us from early December all the way through New Year’s Eve — and there is a lot happening beneath the surface. Think themes of rhythm, change, integrity, self-acceptance, stillness, joy, provocation, and figuring out what’s truly worth fighting for. If you’re someone who naturally feels the pressure of the holidays — the gatherings, the expectations, the emotional dynamics — these transits give helpful language for what may be stirring inside you and around you. In this episode, we explore: Why Gate 5 and Gate 35 kick off December with this tug-of-war between routine and change How Gate 26 + Gate 45 bring up themes around influence, persuasion, self-worth, and leadership The very introspective, idea-heavy period of Gate 11 + Gate 12, and why timing matters What Gate 10 + Gate 15 teach us about authenticity, acceptance, and honoring your own rhythm Why Christmas weekend’s Gate 58 + Gate 52 might have you wanting both joy and stillness How New Year’s Eve’s Gate 38 + Gate 39 shake loose old patterns and clarify what’s actually worth your energy The collective themes you might feel around family, gatherings, emotional waves, and year-end reflection If the month feels busy, emotional, or a little unpredictable, that’s exactly what the chart is showing. Knowing the themes makes it easier to stay in your own rhythm and respond instead of react.

    171-November 2025 Human Design Sun and Earth Transits: Highlighting Individuality

    ✨✨ If you’ve been wondering what your Incarnation Cross really means, and how it ties into the themes showing up in your life right now, I’d love for you to join me for Incarnation Cross Unlocked on Sunday, November 9th. It’s a live workshop where we’ll look at how your cross reveals the energetic story you’re here to live and what it’s trying to express through you. Early bird registration closes November 2nd at midnight, so if this feels like a yes, now’s the time to grab your spot:https://tinyurl.com/54zm7ms5 ___________________________________________________________________________ November brings a real shift in tone. We’re leaving the tribe-centered Quarter of Duality and stepping into the Quarter of Mutation — the part of the cycle that’s all about individuality, creativity, and inner transformation. In this episode, Hali and I look at what that means through the Sun and Earth transits for the month. It’s a time when things start to feel a little different — like change is brewing under the surface, and something new is waiting to take shape. We also touch on how individuality doesn’t mean doing it all alone. It’s more about learning to trust what’s uniquely yours, even if no one else sees it yet. If you’ve been feeling restless or like you’re on the edge of something new (but can’t name it yet), this episode will make a lot of sense.

    170- October 2025 Human Design Sun and Earth Transits: A Journey Through the Spleen Center.

    October is full of movement — six Sun and Earth transits in one month. Most of them are moving through the Spleen, which means our intuition, instincts, and those sneaky little fears are getting stirred up. In this week’s episode of Human Design Hive Podcast, Hali and I walk through each shift and talk about: - Why the Sun and Earth matter so much in your chart (and in the collective) - The Spleen gates showing up this month and the themes they highlight - How to tell the difference between fear that keeps you stuck and intuition that quietly guides you - What these energies can look like in everyday life, from relationships to decision-making It’s a longer one (there was a lot to unpack), but in October you may feeling extra sensitive, second-guessing yourself, or pulled to trust your instincts more, and this episode will make sense of it.

    169 - Mental Spirals: What Your Human Design Chart Reveals About Unrecognized Triggers

    Hey there! In this episode of Human Design Hive, we're diving into those mental spirals that can take over when one small comment sends you down a rabbit hole of self-doubt. If you've ever wondered why your mind piles worry on top of worry until everything feels overwhelming, you're in the right place. Human Design reveals where these spirals actually come from in your chart. In this episode, you'll discover: Why mental spirals aren't always random - they connect to specific places in your Human Design chart How undefined centers (especially Will and Solar Plexus) create perfect conditions for spiraling Simple tools to interrupt these patterns before they take over Real examples of how this shows up in daily life and relationships Key takeaways: Mental spirals usually connect to your undefined centers - understanding this helps you realize it's conditioning, not truth Catching yourself in a spiral means you're becoming aware of automatic patterns You don't have to be a victim to spirals - they're invitations to notice where conditioning runs the show This week's incarnation cross: Juxtaposition Cross of Conflict 6/36, 15/10   00:00 Welcome and Intro 06:02 Intro to Topic-Thought spirals 12:33 Self-Worth Spirals- Undefined Will center 25:44 Emotional Spirals-Undefined Solar Plexus 34:59 Interrupting Spirals 35:38 EFT 41:57 Awareness is key 44:24 Hali shares a spiral 52:37 ICX of the Week Tired of fighting your own energy?

    September 2025 Human Design Sun and Earth Transits

    September's bringing some intense energy shifts, and we're breaking down what's coming so you can navigate it with more awareness. In this episode, Hali and I walk through the four major transits happening this month - starting with confusion and doubt energy, moving through some serious emotional territory, and landing in a place where you can finally drop back into your body and stop trying to fix everything around you. We cover Gates 64 & 63 (Confusion and Doubt), Gates 47 & 22 (Realization and Openness), Gates 6 & 36 (friction and crisis), and Gates 46 & 25 (determination and Spirit of the Self), and 18 & 17 (Correction and Opinions). If you've been putting pressure on yourself to have everything figured out, this episode is your reminder that we're all actively learning to trust ourselves - and that's exactly how it's supposed to work. We also dive into why our nervous systems aren't built for constant urgency, how to navigate emotional waves without shutting down or exploding, and the difference between helpful correction and perfectionist criticism. We close with the Right Angle Cross of Planning 3 - all about bringing resources and structure to community while honoring your need for rest and renewal.

    167-August's Human Design Sun and Earth Transits: Emotional Clarity, What You're Saying Yes To & Community Bonds

    August is serving up some serious energy shifts, and most of the month's grounding energy is in the emotional solar plexus - which means don't rush anything. We're diving into five major transits that are asking you to get real about leadership, answers, commitments, connections, and community. From Gate 7's influence energy paired with Gate 13's storytelling wisdom, to Gate 29's full-body YES energy that you better mean when you say it. Key highlights: • Why Gate 4 might have you feeling pressured to have all the answers (and how to ground those solutions in your actual values) • The intimacy/abundance pairing that's perfect for connection - but only when you're emotionally clear • How the community channel at month's end is asking: are you with the right people? • Real-life transit examples, including Hali's perfect Gate 56 breakthrough moment Plus we break down the shadow sides of these energies, because let's be honest - things can get messy if you're not paying attention. This episode is for anyone who wants to work WITH August's energy instead of being overwhelmed by it.
