Human Design: Leadership and Dreams

I’m a Human Design Guide, and I’m starting a simple weekly series here. Each Monday, I’ll share the current Human Design transit of the Sun and Earth, and how I’m personally noticing it show up in real life. Human Design helps us tune into both our own natural rhythm and the shifting energy in the collective—and my hope is this space helps you do just that, too.

Sun: Gate 31, Gate of Influence

Earth: Gate 41, Gate of Contraction

Transits for Week of July 24th-July 28, 2025

I just finished up watching Game of Thrones this week, so the Human Design transits were illustrated beautifully for me through that show.

Gate 31, the Gate of Influence, is one of my favorite gates. Influence and leadership, in general, is often misunderstood, especially by politicians.

True leaders are recognized, and once recognized for their ability to take an idea and logically lead others to manifest the idea or agenda, they are then democratically elected by those in the collective to take the role.

This is not leadership driven by the ego's need for recognition. In the show, Game of Thrones, Jon Snow is the leader that is recognized. He never wanted the title of king. He just cared about making sure the White Walkers didn't murder everyone in the world. He did what he needed to do personally to insure that the Dark Knight didn't win the war.

Daenerys Targaryen was a composite. She was recognized, then her ego kicked in and Jon Snow killed her at the Iron throne.

Brandon Stark became the King through recognition, and his ego was pretty much wiped out becoming the three-eyed raven.

Cersei Lannister was pure Ego. Boy, was she a piece of business. Ugh.

The entire show was a masterclass on leadership arising from Ego or Recognition, and how that dance between ego and recognition to lead others towards an ideal oscillates.

This is paired with Gate 41, the Gate of Contraction.

This energy is about the emotional juice required to start something new. But it requires contracting that emotional energy enough so that a focus can emerge. Emotional energy is very powerful, but to start something new, one has to get rid of the distractions and get a singular focus to begin.

This means start small with just the essentials to start a new chapter in your life, or begin a project.

This blog is the result of me moving through this energy field last year. I had this seed of an emotional pull to begin writing again on a blog, but I wanted to simplify the container. It took me almost a year to finally decide to focus on writing daily about my life, merging personal insights into the collective field of awareness. You'll notice there aren't any distractions on this site, and I am just focusing on what is essential to write daily.

Together, Gate 31 and Gate 41 are calling us to start something new only if it really matters, and consider taking on a leadership role, but only when others are genuinely asking you to.

Generators/Manifesting Generators: Wait to respond to new ideas about a project, and be aware of feeling the pressure to step into potential leadership roles. Watch out for initiating stepping into a leadership role and not waiting to be asked. Wait to be asked, wait to respond; if emotionally defined, wait some more and make sure your body is giving you the go ahead. What are others asking of you right now? Is something calling to you to begin?

Manifestors: You're stuck between a rock and a hard place this week. Your natural inclination to lead and initiate is being slowed down by understanding that you need to be asked to lead first, and there needs to be a recognition from others that you are clear-minded in the group objective. You'll experience emotional pressure to start something new, but wait for it to align with your deeper feelings on whatever this thing is. It needs to be emotionally true and grounded in reality before you open your mouth to get something started.

Projectors: Your big question this week is, "Who is inviting me to guide a new process?". You all are great at guiding others, but only when recognized for your skills and knowledge about a subject or system. This energy may bring some emotional pressure to act on your creative visions, but this pressure needs to be tempered with patience to wait for the right platform before you act. Rest and wait for the right invitation, the right recognition. The seeds are there, but they need fertile soil to sprout or they won't grow.

Reflectors: This week brings the topic of leadership into your world. Who is leading from Ego and who's being recognized for being aligned and clear in their ability to lead? You are tapping into this feeling from the collective to start something new, but it's still in its infancy. People are stirring with this urge to 'do something', but questioning who can lead them in their desire for something new.

This week asks all of us to consider how we use our voice, our direction, and our dreams. It’s not about charging ahead and doing something to relieve the pressure to act; that's reckless and won't be fruitful. It’s about being recognized, and THEN choosing to act or not based on your inner authority, and starting only what matters.

Last week's energy was in alignment with where I'm heading this week. I was ready to get to of town last week, but I literally had to attend to the mundane details of life to prepare for the trip. I'm leaving for Arkansas on Wednesday, then driving to Colorado.

My grand adventure this summer will be documented on this blog daily, with photos, and I'm excited to see what happens and what I learn.

Random fact about me: My favorite scent to wear is Arrogance, which is a men's cologne. I like to pair it with White Shoulders, a very old scent that is floral. Smells delicious and I always get comments.
