Will you return to the core of who you are?
We're transiting Gate 24 from April 27 thru May 2
TO THE MIND THAT IS STILL, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE SURRENDERS. ~ Lao Tzu
As the birth of each new day holds promise, re-examining a past situation or belief is an opportunity to see it a different light through the fresh eyes of who you are today.
This Solar Transit brings an opportunity for reflection in a never-ending spiral that leads upward toward a greater understanding of who you are and why you are here. As you ascend the spiral you revisit and return to situations with a deeper understanding and perspective.
While the Sun in Gate 24 there is potential to go over and over things trying to rationalize them. Or, you may be looking for a mystery to solve. The energy is a pulse between knowing and not knowing.
This can bring a “knowing” dilemma and a mental pressure to find the answers … now. However, not all answers are available on-demand. Sometimes it takes time for clarity and the ‘aha’ moment to appear.
It’s difficult to have a peaceful mind when you don’t know and so desperately want the answer.
The current situation in the world has created opportunity to slow down. You might consider taking this time to focus on what will be born from this and how to nurture it moving forward.
I love what peace there can be in silence. My mind slows down and relaxes into the realization that I don’t need to know the answers to everything right now. In silence, I can disconnect from the noise and expectations of the world and go inward.
Silence allows me to refresh and renew, like a beautiful night’s sleep, peaceful nap or a wonderful meditation. Rest and patience are keys for me to stay true to who I am.
Answers often come in an atmosphere of silence, when the mind is still and has space for clarity to emerge. It may be a time to return to the core of who you are.
Because sometimes you need to stop and go back if you’ve taken a wrong turn or have been on the improper path. It’s an opportunity to look at your commitment to your life. Sometimes ‘The Return’ can reveal what is truly important to you and brings a chance to begin anew.
Love Yourself,
Ruth Brennan

What are Solar Transits?
In Human Design, Solar Transits reflect the impact the Sun is having on humanity as it moves through the Gates and Lines of the Mandala (64 Gates and 384 Lines). Transits are potentials that you may see in others and the world around you, and, may become a part of your experience as well.
Not everyone experiences these energies … and if we do, we experience them filtered through our own unique Human Design.

I am a Human Design teacher, guide, and survivor whose path to purpose was forged through profound transformation. In 2012, a Stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis shattered the life I knew—and became the unexpected beginning of a deeper awakening. What followed was a journey through illness, the unraveling of a long marriage, and the quiet rebuilding of a self I had never fully met. Human Design found me in the midst of that unraveling—during a time of deep searching, blackouts of identity, and a hunger to remember who I really was. What began as a personal tool for survival and self-reclamation soon became a lifelong path. Human Design gave me language for what I had always felt but couldn’t explain. It helped me understand my energy, my wounds, my gifts—and how to live in alignment with my true nature.
Today, I teach Human Design not as a system of labels or rules, but as a living, breathing map back to the Self. My work is rooted in lived experience—because I know what it’s like to lose your way, and what it takes to come home to yourself. I specialize in guiding others through times of transition, awakening, and reinvention—helping them understand the unique blueprint they were born with, so they can navigate life with clarity, self-trust, and deep compassion. My gift lies in transmuting adversity into wisdom—and walking with others as they remember who they truly are.
