The 6 Human Design Gates of Aries Season

In this episode, we wrap up the season of the Ram by exploring the energetic blueprint of Aries season through the lens of Human Design.

As the Sun moves through six powerful gates in the Human Design/ I'ChingMandala, it tells the story of new beginnings — from the wild innocence of Gate 25 to the fierce individuality of Gate 17.

With insights from the I Ching and the Gene Keys woven throughout, I trace the arc of spring’s awakening through the life cycle of a ram, and indicate how the energy lives in your body, your choices, and your path forward.

If you’ve been feeling the fire to begin again, this episode will help you align with the deeper rhythm behind that urge.

The Caring Bull – Taurus Season, Gate 27, and the Heart of Altruism

In this episode, we explore the deeply grounding energies of Taurus season through the lens of astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys. Broadcasting from Dolphin Bay in Bocas del Toro, Panama, I reflect on the quiet power of care — inspired by the pod-minded dolphins that live in these waters year-round. We unpack this week’s cosmic weather, including a powerful T-square with Mars, Pluto, and the Sun, as well as the new moon in Taurus in Gate 27, the Gate of Caring.

We dive into the wisdom of Hexagram 27 from the I Ching, the Gene Key journey from selfishness to selflessness, and how true nourishment begins with boundaries, clarity, and self-trust. Plus, a somatic practice to embody sustainable care and reconnect to your own pod of support.

In this episode of Cycles of Time Podcast, we dive into week 3 of the Wheel of the Year, which is highlighted by Mercury and Venus stationing direct, the sun traveling through the Human Design Gates of Shock and Growth, and a Full moon in Libra on Saturday in the Gate of Continuity.

This week, we stand in the East on the Medicine Wheel, the direction of childhood new beginnings. In the Daoist Wu Xing (5-element) cycle, Wood is the element of the season, reminding us that vertical growth is both inevitable and unpredictable. Sometimes it is steady and slow, like roots deepening into the earth. Other times it is wild and sudden, like a vine climbing toward the sun overnight. We are in that moment now, where everything is starting to move again, but not yet at full speed.

Mercury and Venus are waking up. The full moon in Libra (the first lunation post-eclipse season) is on the horizon. In Human Design, the energy of the sun this week moves from Gate 51, the Gate of Shock, into Gate 42, the Gate of Growth. We are stepping into something new…. but first, we may have to be shaken awake.

Welcome to episode 53 of Cycles of Time Podcast, the final episode of Season 1! I'm so excited to begin season 2 next week on the Spring Equinox, when Aries season ushers in the astrological new year.

I am even more excited to be launching an offering where you can experience the upcoming Wheel of the Year in a deeper way: the Embody the Revolution Community Membership. Click here to learn more about it!

In this final episode of Season 1, I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredibly lovely Jonathan Koe, an astrologer and human design guide, energy healer, musician, and self-proclaimed creative exorcist. As my Pisces season guest with his birthday on March 4, we chatted about the mutable nature of Pisces season, the upcoming lunar eclipse on the Virgo/Pisces axis, and also dove into the truth and inquiry of his Human Design sun gate, 63: The Gate of Doubt.

I left my conversation with Jonathan feeling deeply nourished, relaxed, and inspired to embrace this liminal space that we’re in at this moment in time: this space between Pisces and Aries, sleep and wakefulness, death and rebirth, an old cycle and a brand new energy.

You can learn more about Jonathan’s offerings on his website at jonathankoe.com, find him on Instagram at jonathankoeofficial, or listen to his amazing podcast Healing the Spirit.

Welcome to your double-week forecast for March 3-17, 2025.

In this episode of Cycles of Time, I'm diving into the final 3 gates of Pisces season and gearing up for the astrological new year, with Aries season approaching on March 20.

We'll explore the transitions between the gates of Doubt, Grace, and Crisis, as defined in Human Design and the I Ching. Our journey begins in the Gate of Doubt, where skepticism can lead to deeper truths through inquiry and analysis. From there, we move into the Gate of Grace, embracing emotional refinement and authenticity, transforming life's challenges into beauty. The episode wraps up with a look ahead to the Gate of Crisis, a period ripe with opportunities for growth and rebirth despite the darkness- like the birth canal to a new beginning.

As we approach the Virgo lunar eclipse on March 14, I discuss the need to let go of perfectionism, embrace change, and prepare for the upcoming dynamic Aries season. Tune in for reflections on planting seeds, both metaphorically and literally, as we stand at the cusp of new beginnings.
