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.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Leslie Menich, a 5/1 Splenic Projector and the founder of Live On With Les. We talk about her journey through burnout, chronic illness, mold exposure, and thyroid cancer — and how trusting her intuition pulled her forward when nothing made sense.

We also get into what it looks like to rebuild your life around your energy, why Projectors struggle with burnout, and how clean living, sustainability, and nervous system health all weave together.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or unsure where to start with taking care of yourself… this conversation might be exactly what you need.

✨✨ 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.

Hey there! In this episode of Human Design Hive, Hali and I are unpacking the October Sun and Earth transits. It’s a big month — six shifts to cover — and most of them move through the Spleen, bringing intuition, instincts, and those familiar fears right to the surface.

In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about:

- Why the Sun and Earth transits matter and how they shape collective energy

- The Spleen gates we’re moving through this month (and what each one brings up)

- How themes like depth, intuition, responsibility, struggle, and alertness might show up in everyday life

- Practical ways to notice when fear is holding you back versus when your body wisdom is quietly guiding you

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

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.

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.

As a 4/1 myself, I to give real insight on this rare Human Design profile. This episode covers the real 4/1 experience - that foundation-seeking line 1 paired with relationship-focused line 4, why we're like trains on tracks (you can ride along but we're not changing course), and why the whole "bonus life" thing is honestly kind of annoying. Plus examples from fellow 4/1s who've stayed true to themselves no matter what the world wanted from them.

What we covered in this episode:

• Why 4/1s are only 2% of the population

• The oak tree analogy and what it actually means to be "fixed fate"

• Why we look steady on the outside but feel uncertain on the inside

• How that line 1 foundation-seeking pairs with line 4 relationship focus

• Real examples: Eminem, Sara Bareilles, and Lena Dunham (all 4/1s!)

The thing about being a 4/1 is that people see this solid, dependable energy – and yes, we are that. But we're also constantly researching, constantly building those foundations of knowledge because we genuinely want to feel secure enough to share what we've learned.

Whether you're a 4/1 or you love someone who is, understanding this profile helps everything make sense. Why we can't just "go with the flow." Why our networks matter so much. Why we'll bend to keep the peace but won't actually change who we are.

Hali and I are digging into the 2/5 profile, and exploring the unique tension between wanting to hide away (the Hermit) and being called out to share innovative solutions (the Heretic).

This profile carries natural gifts they often don't recognize themselves, (but others definitely see), creating a complex dance of projections, boundaries, and authentic expression.

We break down how the 2/5 profile shows up differently across all energy types (Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, and Reflector), why these individuals need so much alone time to understand their gifts, and how to navigate the constant pull between invisibility and impact.

Key topics: projection fields, hermit energy, line 5 universalizing, sacral response for 2/5s, boundaries and discernment, and why being called out doesn't mean you have to say yes.

In this episode of Human Design Hive, we’re chatting about the 6/3 profile- the technical "last" profile in Human Design’s 12-profile sequence, and one that brings a potent mix of real-time experimentation and long-view wisdom.

The 6/3 lives a deeply experiential life. It doesn't rest on theory, it’s about getting in the mix, learning by doing (and undoing), and ultimately becoming a powerful role model through lived truth. It’s a profile that’s here to grow through life’s hard knocks, and come out the other side more resilient, embodied, and clear about what really works.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

- What makes the 6/3 profile so distinct, and why its life path unfolds in three powerful phases

- How the line 6’s search for truth and purpose gets shaped by the line 3’s drive to experiment and learn through “mistakes”

- Why the 6/3 may never feel fully “off the roof”, and what that means for living in alignment

- How different types (Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, Reflector) experience the 6/3 profile

- Why the 6/3 is uniquely built to embody authenticity through trial, resilience, and reinvention

We also explore real-life examples of 6/3s, including Harrison Ford, Matt Damon, and Serena Williams, and how their stories reflect the deep truth-seeking and powerful bounce-back energy this profile brings to the world.

Some Key Takeaways for 6/3 profiles:

- Your "mistakes" are actually data collection

- Experimentation is a valid life strategy

- Some of us are built to show others what's possible when you trust your own path.
