Human Design: Values Based Decisions
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.

Transits for Week of August 11-17, 2025
This is a big shift in energy this week.
Personally, I felt it coming on yesterday. I'm working with someone very close to me who is feeling an overwhelming desire to reconnect to what is important in her life, and working all of the time is no longer viable.
She is trying to formulate a plan to change how she spends the majority of her waking life. Does she want it be non-stop and consumed with putting out fires? Or is she looking for a slower pace of getting her tasks done, allowing for a deeper analysis of a problem instead of feeling like she is trying to stay balanced on a spinning top?
Personal time and how she spends her working time has become her focus and she knows change must happen but how to communicate this to her superiors?
What do you value? Especially in how you choose to commit your time and resources as it pertains to using your gifts?
This Earth 49 energy of revolution is about an emotional re-evaluation of your values. There is an emotional urge to look at where your energy is going and does it align with your current principles and values?
Principals and values change over time. This energy is using the emotional juice of the Solar Plexus to bring an awareness of what has changed in that department and the Sun's energy of formulation is about applying logic and clarity over time to formulate a plan to implement what changes are called for.
Whoosh. Feeling that vibe yet?
Personally, I am feeling it as it pertains to my marriage. What has changed in our commitment to each other? What is important to understand about what we value now vs. what we used to value? What needs to change? We are both emotionally defined so this added ability to thoughtfully and logically look for a way through this re-evaluation is handy to have defined for us this week.
There can be a tendency to jump to an answer emotionally instead of waiting for the wave of emotion to settle out some. Jumping into an emotionally-driven decision is never a good idea. Wait for clarity first. Then apply logic for structuring an appropriate way through the decision.
I try to come up with a list of alternatives and then feel my way through what possible avenues of change can be that I respond to as a Generator.
Mental searching can get out of hand for answers, though. Being obsessive about finding a solution mentally can hinder your success. Relax and use your type and inner authority to formulate a plan of action.
Generators/Manifesting Generators: You'll feel the urge to re-evaluate what you have committed your energy to doing, and may feel emotionally driven to change something about your commitment. Ground this emotional urge to respond to any changes that come your way with your Gate 4's mental ability and ask the question, What's really the right answer here? Am I responding to just any opportunity? Or the right one for me?
Manifestors: Your feeling the urge to initiate a change based on your inner principles and values. Since it's emotional, get clear first about what you want to initiate and wait, wait, wait for that logical way of communication it before doing so. You want your answers to what you are trying to initiate to be reasoned and thoughtful so that the impact has legs to run.
Projectors: Your energy this week is about guiding others to principled clarity. Your ability this week to see where systems or people are no longer experiencing integrity with their process will be acute. Wait for the invitation to give your guidance and deliver your message in easily digestible bits. Big, revolutionary changes are emotionally driven...so be aware that a clear, concise and logical answer is needed here to balance out the need for change. Your answers need to be fertile, so they can be accepted. Wait to speak about what you see when asked. Otherwise it will be dead on arrival.
Reflectors: You will be picking up the disconnect in your community regarding a values/principles based shift. Look for the emotional angles people will be exploring as they look for answers to foment the shift in values. You'll feel the urge to anchor yourself to trusted authorities' viewpoints on the changes and how to go about logically implementing them in a balanced way. Reflect that back to your community when things get too emotional.
So lets recap this week's energy.
Sun 49 = Emotional readiness with values-based change
Earth 4 = Mental clarity looking for structured answers
Together, they ask us to:
Wait for clarity before making a change based on your values/principals so that you can logically explain why the changes are called for. Communicating the reasons are important and being clear about your why's are necessary to bring in the new changes.
