Human Design: Listen and Lead
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 7, Gate of Role of Self
Earth: Gate 13, Gate of Listening
Transits for Week of August 5-9, 2025
What a neat pairing for this week's transits!
Gate 7 is about the role of the self in a leadership or guiding role. This gate is about balancing the needs of the collective with the needs of the self. Gate 7 enables leadership that is natural and how individual's relate to the role of leading.
Gate 13 is about listening deeply to others and their stories. It's also the ability to confidentially listen without feeling the need to share someone's secrets.
What a great attribute to have in someone that naturally takes the role of a leader or guide!
This week, we all have this combination available to us. What does it look like?
I'm getting a little glimpse of the energy to listen intently to others as they relate some deeply emotional and personal information to me. I'm not really a part of any group where I get to respond to a leadership role that may be presented, but I'm definitely feeling the pull to listen intently, and to hold space for another that is going through an emotional challenge.
I love this energy, and am excited to see how I experience it the rest of the week. It comes online tomorrow, so here are some things to watch out for depending on your energy type.
Manifestors: You may feel a pull to jump in a group or collective effort to get something started, but lean in to what you are hearing from others as it pertains to their collected wisdom and possible direction they want to take.. This is a pause and reflect energy based on what you are hearing from those in the group before action happens.
Generators/Manifesting This week is about responsive leadership opportunities. If you find yourself in a group/team environment, wait to see what excites you before responding to the right role for your talents in leadership. Listen, a lot!
Projectors: Wow, you all are in for a great week! Wait for the invitations from those seeking your guidance for projects that involve steering the collective to a new place, and utilize your abilities to really listen to what is needed and be able to communicate the bigger picture to those that are stuck in task mode. This is your week to shine! Your energy is made for this!
Reflectors: You'll find yourself listening intently to others and observing the different leadership/guidance patterns that surround you this week. Spend some time in groups this week so you can grok the context that requires leadership for the goals of the group. You may find yourself mirroring what the stated objective is for the group you are involved with. Be careful not to over identify with others' emotional stories as the group seeks clarity.
Have a great week!
