Human Design: Facts and Faith Week

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 62, Gate of Details

Earth: Gate 61, Gate of Inner Truth

Transits for Week of July 12th-18th, 2025

You know how you feel when you know something deep within your bones, but are unable to express it in words?

Welcome to this week!

This week's energy is about dealing with the tension to find the right words to describe what you know inwardly.

The Gate of Details is summoning us to dig deep into our inner truth and bring it out into the world via self-expression.

The tension to find the words will be front and center in your conversations with others as well as how you express yourself sincerely and creatively through your art or writing.

Over the weekend, I experienced this in a conversation I attempted to have with my husband about something that I've noticed in our relationship, but I couldn't organize my thoughts, or the details enough to adequately make myself understood. He asked me over and over what I was thinking about and instead of responding with "I'll talk about it when I've got the right words," I jumped in and made the water quite muddy. Whoops.

This energy is trying to express patterns or connections you are making inwardly about something to share with others, but that tension to find just the right words so that it sounds logical and somewhat objective can be a real source of frustration across all energy types.

When you consider the energy needed to make something clear that is based more on intuition you can see where you can get gummed up in expressing it.

We see this in movies all the time as a plot line. The hero detective intuitively recognizes a pattern to the investigation, but has to wait for all the pieces to come together in their mind before they can successfully articulate it to their superiors because it sounds crazy at first. But the detective knows inwardly that the information is true.

So what's the key move this week?

Patience. All types will feel the pressure to explain what you know even though it can't be proven. Wait for the words by respecting your energy type and inner authority.

Manifestors: You may experience this energy with an urge to express your thoughts to initiate something new even if the people that you tell don't understand your vision. Watch out for getting angry when people want more details than you may be prepared to share. Inform with clarity before you initiate something this week.

Generators: You're going to feel this pressure to organize your ideas or explain your process on how to do something when asked, but if your body gives you a "meh", don't feel compelled to comply. Wait for something to really light you up to respond to, and the words will be there when the time is right.

Manifesting Generators: This energy is very 'bouncy" for you. Slow down. Wait for clarity before responding to an idea that may not be fully formed yet before quickly acting upon it. You may feel like your time is spent translating what feels very intuitive into something that is logical and makes sense so it can get done. Honor the time it takes to turn those ideas into action.

Projectors: You may experience sudden insights and revelations about others when asked to guide them into a new project or process. This energy will pressure you to share your insights before someone asks you to, though. Wait for that invitation, and your right timing to clearly state what you see in others so it will land on fertile ground with the right words. There's nothing worse for you than jumping in too soon without being recognized.

Reflectors: Everyone around you this week will be pressured to express what they know, but can't find the right words. You will experience this energy as a deep yearning to understand the mysteries of life, catching glimpses of deep meanings and connections, but the words feel just out of reach. Stay true to yourself and stick to your environment. You will be reflecting for others this deep need to know how to say what's just out of reach.

Ok, let's see how we all experience this week's transits!

How I experienced last week's energy of Initiation.

Wow, last week was fun!

I had my session at the pottery studio on making jewelry with porcelain and my three hours flew by! Starting something new brings all of our human emotions up to the surface as we face ourselves in unfamiliar territory.

I realized that when I am being initiated into something new, my first concern is safety, which is another way to interact with fear.

I'm sure that is universal! For me, I experienced it by wanting to make sure that I understood what the medium (porcelain) requires to safely interact with it.

In this case, safety wasn't so much about ruining my project because I don't know what I'm doing yet, but when the porcelain dries, and you mess with it, it produces dust that has silica in it. Lung health and silica dust are important to consider! So, no sanding it unless I'm outside and masked up.

For me, starting something new brings about a deep need to know and understand the steps required to get to the finish line. I found myself repeating one shape and slightly differentiating the design so that I could fully understand the process of making a particular shape, what its limitations are and how I can repeat something I like.

That's the builder in me as a Generator. My energy wants to master something, and it takes baby steps and a lot of trial and error to master anything. So I tend to work incrementally. That was a nice realization to have with going slow and easy with my process.

I hope your week was filled with lots of new experiences as you were initiated into whatever your energy type steered you toward.

Random fact about me: I didn't find my love for exercise until midlife. Better late than never!

Inner or Outer Authority: Which One Do You Listen To?

We're taught from a young age to respect authority.

Mentors, experts, people who "know better" because they have either experience or education.

But there is so much information about there now due to Ai and the internet, how do you know what is authentically correct for you?

I stopped navigating by outer authority 10 years ago. Now, I look for information that is out there, but if it doesn't sit right with me over a little time, I move on until something feels right.

Your inner voice, when clear, is the most powerful decision maker you have. I believe I'm tapping into an intelligence or perspective that can see the bigger picture more than I can.

Every time I've listened to it, I've had a great result.

Even if the outcome isn't what I initially wanted, it ends up being better than my expectation to begin with when I reflect upon the cycle my decision started.

I see a real danger now in blindly believing the 'experts'.

If you are an expert, and I'm looking for information, I'm going to question you probably more than I would a novice.

At least a novice knows what they don't know.

I find many experts have forgotten the basics, especially when it comes to admitting they don't know something.

Or even worse, they remember, but it's more money in their back pocket or the next step on their professional rung if they conveniently 'forget' those basics.

How do you honor your inner authority when it's yelling at you to ignore the experts?

Or do you?

Today's random fact about me: My favorite videos are paralyzed dogs getting fitted for their doggie wheelchairs. Epic joy!

Sun: Gate 53, Gate of Beginnings

Earth: Gate 54, Gate of Ambition

Transits for Week of July 6-12

I have a jewelry studio in the same building as a pottery studio, and this week, I'm going to start learning how to make porcelain components for my jewelry line.

New beginnings are so exciting. And this impulse to add something new to my metalwork has been in the making for many years.

I just had to wait for the right timing and now it's here!

A few weeks ago, one of the pottery instructors called me over during my hand building class to show me some Pinterest photos she'd been collecting about porcelain jewelry

I saw some of the photos and immediately knew this was something I wanted to learn how to do.

So slowly, we started figuring out the right time that would fit into our respective schedules to learn more about porcelain and ordered a 50 lb bag of it, along with some gorgeous slip and glazes.

This is a studio that also teaches others how to hand build and throw, and we're hopeful we can develop a class centered around making porcelain jewelry. So lots of discovery, making mistakes and learning something new regarding jewelry fabrication is now in my life, and I couldn't be happier.

I didn't know that after we synced our schedules last week, that this week's energy centered around initiation until I looked at the transits yesterday.

This morning, I thought I would start this weekly series on Mondays to help set the framework for my own week, and watch to see how my life unfolds as I consider the support of the weekly transits over the next year.

I thought I'd share it with you, too, and this makes me more accountable to my own goal and I would love to get feedback from you to see how you experience the transit also.

So what am I looking for this week?

Opportunities to use my Generator energy to start something new, such as the porcelain jewelry adventure I'm starting this week.

As a Generator, you may experience a strong response to something in your environment that comes your way and your body moves toward the idea to provide it with the energy it needs to come to life.

As a Manifestor, this may come as an idea that needs to be expressed to the right people to initiate something new.

As a Projector, be on the lookout for those invitations from those seeking guidance to put something new out into the world.

And if you are a Reflector, you may experience those around you starting something new and sweeping you up along with their excitement.

This energy is about slowly getting to your new goal, deeply learning as you go (which requires time to integrate, so you know, patience) and joyfully seeing where it takes you.

Next Monday, I briefly recap how I experienced this week's transits, and introduce the next round of collective energy to consider. This series will evolve and deepen as we go, so feedback would be appreciated!

Oh, and I guess starting this new series is, yes, another example of New Beginnings grounded in Ambition!

Whoop!
