The new moon in Taurus is on May 7th at 8:21 pm Pacific and is activating Gate 2, the Gate of Higher Knowing.  

This is one of the best new moons of the year with it being the first after the eclipse season and Mercury stationing direct. The Moon also loves being in Taurus. Taurus is known as the place of the Moon’s exaltation.  

In astrology, there is a fundamental concept known as essential dignity which refers to the strength or power that a planet has in a particular sign of the zodiac. 

There are several essential dignities, each of which indicates a different level of strength or effectiveness for a planet:

Rulership (Domicilie): Each of the 12 signs has a planetary ruler.  When that planet is in a sign that it rules, it is considered to be particularly strong and capable of expressing its energy fully. This is where it feels most at home. 

Exaltation: Exaltation is a position of heightened influence...

A few weeks ago, we talked about the 3 main circuits in Human Design that describe the routes that the energy flows within the chart.  

Each of the 3 main circuits have 2 sub-circuits within it: 

Individual 

1. Knowing: Includes the Channels of Awareness, Assimilation, Inspiration, the Beat, Mutation, Struggle, the Brainwave, Openness, and Emoting 
2. Centering: Includes the Channels of Initiation and Exploration 

Tribal

1. Ego: Includes the Channels of Transformation, Surrender, the Money Line, Community and Synthesis 
2. Defense: Includes the Channels of Mating and Preservation  

Collective

1. Understanding: Includes the Channels of Logic, Acceptance, the Wavelength, Judgement, Concentration, Rhythm and the Alpha 
2. Sensing: Includes the Channels of Abstraction, Curiosity, Transitoriness, Recognition, Maturation, Discovery and the Prodigal  

There is also a collection of channels known as...

The gates and channels in the Human Design Bodygraph are connected to one another through circuitry.  Circuitry describes the way that energy circulates throughout the chart. It’s what ties the 36 channels together and gives the Bodygraph its infrastructure.  

There are 3 main circuit groups with 2 sub-circuits within each of the main circuit groups that describe the routes that the energy flows within the chart:

1. Individual (Empowerment)
   Knowing 
   ‍ Centering 
2. Tribal (Support)
   ♥ Ego 
   Defense 
3. Collective (Sharing)
   Understanding (Logical) 
   Sensing (Abstract/ Experiential) 

There is also a collection of channels known as the Integration Channels, which stands alongside the other 3 main circuits in the body. These 4 channels (10-20, 20-34, 34-57 and 57-10) are responsible for differentiating ourselves from others and fuels the evolutionary process. They’re focused on self empowerment and preservation of...

The Solar Eclipse is happening on April 8th at 11:20am Pacific and will be activating gate 51, the Gate of Shock, which is also currently transiting the Sun, North Node, and Chiron. 

A solar eclipse will always occur close to the North Node, but isn't always in the same gate. However, this solar eclipse is happening with the Sun, Moon, North Node and Chiron all in gate 51. 

Solar eclipses are seen as potent times for initiating new beginnings, taking risks, and moving forward in life. They often coincide with opportunities for personal growth and advancement. 

With the Nodes and eclipses being on the Aries-Libra axis, we’re going through a recalibration of honoring our personal needs and boundaries while also considering the perspectives and needs of others.

This axis highlights the dynamic interplay between individuality and partnership, self-assertion and cooperation, independence and compromise. It reflects the tension between the...

One of the things that I didn’t hear discussed when I started learning about and experimenting with Human Design and the Gene Keys was how challenging the process of deconditioning can actually be. 

These systems were presented as having all of the answers to understanding myself at a soul level. All I had to do was learn the system and start living as my true self to unlock more satisfaction and flow in my life. 

It all sounded incredible and like exactly what I had been searching for my whole life. 

As someone with an undefined G-center and gate 28 four times (Personality South Node, Design Mercury and both Pluto placements), I’ve been searching for my life’s purpose, the meaning of life, and a deeper understanding of who I am for as long as I can remember. 

Discovering Human Design and the Gene Keys felt like coming home to a knowing that had been within myself all along. It was a homecoming to my true self. 

A major aspect of Human Design that I found challenging to understand when I got into my experiment was the Incarnation Cross. It was difficult to find much information about it other than a short paragraph that was vague and generalized.  

With this being the Science of Differentiation, it didn’t make sense that all of the explanations for the Incarnation Cross didn’t take into account someone’s Type, Profile, Definition or Variable Configuration. 

I only started to make sense of my Incarnation Cross after I had been following my Strategy and Authority for at least a year.  As I started to live more as my authentic self and remove the layers of conditioning that I had put on throughout the years, my true self started to emerge. 

I began to witness how my Cross of Cycles was writing the script of my life and how the 4 gates that make up my cross are central themes in that storyline.  

One of the biggest...

The New Moon in Pisces is on March 10th at 5am Eastern and is activating gate 22, the Gate of Openness.  At the time of the new moon, the Sun, Moon, Saturn and Neptune will all be in Pisces.  Mercury will have just left Pisces and entered Aries. 

Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. As the final sign, Pisces has seen and been through it all.  This leads to deep wisdom that is gained through the experiences of the preceding eleven signs. It represents the accumulation of knowledge and lessons learned throughout the astrological year.

The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions, connected by a cord. This represents going between fantasy & reality and the duality and depth of the Piscean nature. It can also signify the struggle between the material world and the spiritual realm, or the balance between conflicting emotions and desires.

Pisces is considered a deeply spiritual and transcendent sign. It...

Inner Authority is one of the first things that you learn about in Human Design and is one of the foundational elements in activating the unique genius within you. 

There is so much magic that is unlocked when you start to make decisions as yourself. Following strategy and authority allows you to move through the world with the least amount of resistance.

This doesn’t mean that you’ll never ever face challenges again.  However, it allows you to trust that everything the Monopole is attracting into your life is helping you fulfill your unique trajectory.

This is about honoring the form principle- tuning into the wisdom of our own body.

“We are a form principle, and when a form principle is moving in space, if it’s meeting resistance, it begins to deteriorate. Whether that’s psychic or physical, the deterioration just adds to the discomfort of being here.” - Ra Uru Hu

Part of following your inner...
