    Saturn in Aries: The Rise of the Everyday Hero

    There's much talk about the Spiritual Warrior vibes with Saturn & Neptune moving into Aries, the call to courage, the invitation to finally stand for something. And they're not wrong — but I think that framing is incomplete. Because the warrior still has a cape somewhere in it. And what Saturn in Aries is actually asking for isn't a series of battles. It's a practice. In this episode I'm pulling on a thread one of my teachers handed me — the original Greek meaning of a word most of us have been quietly flinching from. The word martyr doesn't mean someone who suffers. It comes from the Greek martus, which simply means witness. Someone who sees something and refuses to deny what they've seen. That distinction changes everything. We're also going deep on Human Design Gate 30, the Clinging Fire, the Gene Keys map of Desire moving toward Lightness. Plus three specific things to watch for in yourself as this transit unfolds. Purchase your Human Design Energetic Blueprint Access your free Human Design Chart Interested in The Crucible?

    Splenic Authority:Your HD Authority Through Your Natal Moon Sign

    You know your Human Design authority type. Maybe you're emotional, sacral, splenic. But knowing the mechanism and using it are two different things. What does that splenic whisper actually feel like when it happens? How do you catch something that speaks once and never repeats? The missing piece: your authority type tells you the mechanism, but your natal moon placement tells you the flavor. In this episode, I go deep on Splenic Authority through all twelve zodiac moon signs — because someone with splenic authority and an Aries moon experiences that instant intuitive hit completely differently than someone with a Pisces moon. We're talking about speed, subtlety, what drowns out the whisper, and the practical reality of catching fleeting body wisdom before your mind, emotions, or conditioning talk over it. This is part three of a series covering all authority types, and with Uranus pushing us this month to stop giving our power away and own our decisions, now is the time to get specific.

    Sacral Authority: Your HD Authority Through Your Natal Moon Sign

    You know your Human Design authority type. Maybe you're emotional, sacral, splenic. But knowing the mechanism and using it are two different things. What does that sacral "uh-huh" actually sound like in your body when it matters? How do you know if it's a real response or just your mind trying to sound like your sacral? The missing piece: your authority type tells you the mechanism, but your natal moon placement tells you the flavor. In this episode, I go deep on Sacral Authority through all twelve zodiac moon signs — because someone with sacral authority and an Aries moon experiences their gut response completely differently than someone with a Pisces moon. We're talking about speed, clarity, what interference looks like, and the practical reality of how your specific sacral actually responds. This is part two of a series covering all authority types, and with Uranus pushing us this month to stop giving our power away and own our decisions, now is the time to get specific. Not the textbook version of your authority. Your version. If you have sacral authority — or love someone who does — this episode will change how you work with your response.

    Emotional Authority: Your HD Authority Through Your Natal Moon Sign:

    You know your Human Design authority type. Maybe you're emotional, sacral, splenic. But knowing the mechanism and using it are two different things. What does "wait through your emotional wave" actually feel like? How long is long enough? What does that sacral "uh-huh" sound like in your body when it matters? The missing piece: your authority type tells you the mechanism, but your natal moon placement tells you the flavor. In this episode, I go deep on Emotional Authority through all twelve zodiac moon signs — because someone with emotional authority and an Aries moon experiences that wave completely differently than someone with a Pisces moon. We're talking about texture, rhythm, speed, and the practical reality of how your specific wave moves. This is part one of a series covering all authority types, and with Uranus pushing us this month to stop giving our power away and own our decisions, now is the time to get specific. Not the textbook version of your authority. Your version. If you have emotional authority — or love someone who does — this episode will change how you work with your wave.

    February's Cosmic Energy Mix: Navigating the Unexpected

    February doesn't wait for you to be ready. It moves. It shifts. It introduces variables you weren't planning for. And if you've been trying to hold everything steady by sheer force, this month has a way of showing you exactly where that strategy starts to crack. This is one of the most active astrological months of the year. We've got repeated Uranus squares as planets move out of Aquarius and into Pisces, eclipse season beginning, Mercury retrograde starting on the 25th (because of course it does), and anchoring the entire month — the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries. No one alive has experienced this transit before. The last time Saturn and Neptune met at this degree was 1881. In this episode, I walk through the February Human Design gates — Gate 19 (Wanting), Gate 13 (The Listener), Gate 49 (Principles), Gate 30 (Feelings), Gate 55 (Spirit), and Gate 28 (The Game Player) — and how they're being shaped by these volatile, catalytic conditions. Then I break down specific guidance for all seven Human Design authority types, because in a month where everything's moving fast and you need to stay responsive instead of reactive, knowing how YOUR authority actually works becomes essential. February isn't about having the right plan. It's about staying coherent while the landscape keeps shifting.

    Full Moon in Leo: HD Gate 19 & Gate 33 — Belonging Without Self-Abandonment

    This Leo Full Moon doesn't arrive quietly as Leo never does anything quiet does it? With the Sun in Human Design Gate 19 — the Gate of Wanting — and the Moon in Gate 33 — the Gate of Privacy — this lunation exposes where you've been bending yourself out of shape to belong, and where you've been withholding parts of yourself because it feels safer to stay unseen. We're working the Leo–Aquarius axis with a stellium in Aquarius (Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Pluto), creating tension between collective conformity and authentic self-expression. Mars and Venus oppose the Moon while Uranus in Taurus squares Mercury and Venus — lightning strike realizations about what you've been tolerating and what you actually need. This episode breaks down the shamanic undercurrent of this Full Moon: Gate 19 as ancestral survival wiring, Gate 33 as descent into the cave to retrieve medicine, Aquarius as collective trance, and Leo as the force that breaks it. Plus deep-dive profile insights for all 12 Human Design profiles — not surface-level descriptions, but how this specific lunation lands in your design and what it's asking you to integrate.

    Pluto & HD 41 Pressure: How to Navigate Uncertainty without Losing Yourself

    There's a lot of language right now about transformation and reinvention. But that's not what most people actually need — whether they're actively changing or just trying to stay steady under pressure. What people are actually seeking is continuity. The capacity to remain coherent while conditions shift. To change without fragmenting. To not lose themselves in the process. This episode breaks down why that matters right now, specifically. With personal planets moving through Aquarius and meeting Pluto, while the Sun transits Human Design Gate 41 — the Gate of Contraction that begins the Rave New Year — we're in an energy that stress-tests systems rather than expands them. Drawing from business continuity principles, Human Design mechanics under pressure, and the specifics of this astrological moment, this episode maps out what continuity of self actually looks like. Not mystical. Not motivational. Operational. It covers the three major pitfalls to watch for during this transit, how each Human Design Type maintains continuity when pressure builds, and the practical difference between transformation and dissolution. Because you don't need to become someone else to survive this moment. You need to stop abandoning yourself while you move through it.

    New Moon in Capricorn + The Power of Working Full Lunation Cycles

    This Capricorn New Moon at 28 degrees arrives as a checkpoint, not a reset. With the Sun in Human Design Gate 60 — the Gate of Acceptance — this lunation asks for structural honesty about what can actually hold. It's late-degree Capricorn energy: wrapping up, consolidating, turning the page before planets shift into Aquarius next week. But most people treat New Moons and Full Moons like isolated events — set intentions, release, move on. This episode goes deeper. It breaks down the full eight-phase lunation cycle and shows you how to work with the complete arc from New Moon through Full Moon and back again. Because the real intelligence isn't in the highlights — it's in the rhythm underneath everything.
