Underneath there is Innocence.
We're transiting Gate 25 from March 18 - 23
A PURE HEART, OPEN TO THE LIGHT, WILL BE FILLED WITH THE ELIXIR OF TRUTH. ~ Rumi
Following last week’s transit through the Gate of Crisis, the Sun is now entering into an energy of the higher self. Its role is to point you toward your true nature. It’s an opportunity to return to innocence.
And, it’s fitting that the Vernal or Spring Equinox occurs during the time of this transit … a time when the dark and light are equally balanced.
Those who possess a pure heart are best guided by their instincts and intuition.
Innocence implies a natural harmlessness, openness and pure intention that isn’t contaminated by ulterior motives.
Beauty can then emerge from an innocent heart that remains open to joy and wonder. Innocence, when guided by a conviction to what is right, can bring supreme success.
The hallmark of innocence is a willingness to treat all creatures with compassion and respect.
This innocence isn’t designed to bring love into the world in any specific way, but rather to love without discrimination.
The mystical potential of this type of love is transcendent and universal.
And, your spirit’s innocence is constantly being tested. You can meet these challenges from life like a spiritual warrior, fired up and ready to compete for your true nature (spirit) no matter what you encounter.
Thinking too much may sever the link with the guidance that comes from your inner truth.
The grounding energy is Determination or Pushing Upward. Reminding you that when you let go of expectations, you can find yourself in the right place at the right time.
So, if you trust in perfect timing can you love the perfection in every experience – good or bad?
There can be magic in trusting your natural responses to take you through this journey called life … in perfect timing.
Can you be sensitive AND determined?
Will you bend, but not break when obstacles or challenges arise?
As you remain tolerant and flexible, you can retain the conscious innocence that fuels growth and evolution.
A beautiful balance awaits.
Spring can be such a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.
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.
