When you know yourself, you are empowered.
When you accept yourself, you are invincible.

Hello YOU!

As I mentioned in my Rave New Year and Aquarius season posts, 2026 is a year of transformation. We are all closing up some very significant aspects of our lives and readying ourselves to allow in new and life-affirming energy.

I know, the world does not feel very life-affirming at the moment. That is the nature of birth, we all have to go through the darkest, most contractive of processes before we are pushed out into the light. This truism holds at all stages of our lives. It’s why traditional societies have rites of passage—to mimic the birth canal process. There is a trial that has to be faced and integrated in order to pass into the next stage of your evolution.

Though most of us did not grow up in groups who practice these transformation initiations, if you’ve travelled around the sun any significant number of times, you know first hand that all your struggles had dark, very low and even scary stretches of time. If you are reading this now, I can say with 100% certainty that you weathered the storm. You persisted. You pushed through. Not unscathed, but stronger for experience.

From a Human Design perspective, 2020 and the global pandemic was the first move in a 7 year long energetic cycle preparing us for the global shift next year. As we get closer to the first quarter of 2027, the forces of change and transformation are picking up speed and intensity. Making now the perfect time to learn a bit more about our individual gifts and challenges. What aspects of our nature will support us during this radical rethinking and what parts might trip us up?

These are the sorts of things we’ll be looking at together in February’s Monday evening study groups. I’ll open each session with a short teaching about one specific aspect of our design, give practical examples of how this energy might be showing up in our lives, and then we’ll have the remainder of the time to look at that piece in our own charts. I find a free flowing Q & A and conversation to be a particularly helpful way to begin the process of embodying the information that our BodyGraph offers us.

Though you will definitely learn some Human Design, these study groups are less about understanding the system and more about understanding yourself. There are lots of surface level concepts in HD that offer a lot of depth and opportunity for experimentation and observation. And that’s really a core premise of Human Design—it’s an experiment. You have to dig in and experience the energy inherent to you vs. the energies you’re constantly receiving and amplifying from the outside. Getting more clarity around what’s yours and what’s not is a powerful tool for stepping into an uncertain future.

I’ve structured the study groups into a 4 week series because I think there’s something important about touching in together, going deep for 90 minutes and then stepping back out to let the information land and to create space for feeling into the new awarenesses. Doing this over the course of a month establishes a pattern of repetition that neuroscience confirms as the best approach to starting new habits.

I’d love for you to join me. February sessions are free. If people would like to continue the following months would be a $40/month commitment. Please email me or leave a comment here if you have any questions.

I’m also curious if you have other practices and supports you’ve been relying on to navigate these times. I think we need to bring as many modalities as possible to the table because Human Design makes it clear that we are all completely unique individuals. What works for one person doesn’t necessarily resonate for others, but most things resonate for a certain group of people. I hope this study group opportunity grabs your imagination and you consider jumping in to the experiment.

Get out there and be the YOUest,

Your Open Heart

They say the heart wants what the heart wants. But what happens if your heart doesn’t consistently know what it wants?

Strangely, I can actually tell you what happens—it gets filled up with the wants and needs of others. Read more . . .

Are You Too Emotional?

I don’t know about you, but “You’re too emotional” is a message I got from the world a lot as a kid. I wasn’t even a particularly ‘emotional’ kid. To be clear, it wasn’t that people were actually saying it to me, it’s just the vibe I got. Don’t be too loud, or too excited, or too rambunctious, or too weepy, or too soft, or too (insert any possible expression of emotion here). Read more . . .

SUN TRANSIT CONTEMPLATIONS

My friends Lauren and Lois join me a few times a month to track the Sun along it’s trip through the 64 Gates of the Human Design mandala. We look closely at each archetypal energy and chat about what could be coming up for us during the five and a half days of each transit.

NAVIGATING AQUARIUS SEASON

There is an extra does of Aquarius this Aquarius season with all the personal planets transiting that portion of the sky as well as the transformational Pluto. So when the Sun joins the party, it’s likely to spark the trailblazing revolutionary in all of us.

Please share The YOUest You with anyone
