Will you bend with the winds of change?
We're transiting Gate 32 from October 13 - October 18
The only thing that endures is change.
It’s the instinct to adapt moment by moment without losing your flow or who you are in the process.
This week’s energy brings the potential for awareness of what can be transformed through change, and what changes will endure. The grounding force of Gate 42, Growth, adds a cyclical nature to this transit, with an imperative to finish what you begin.
In the continuity of life, everything changes. As your genes search for diversity to keep the human species viable, you endure and maintain continuity through change.
It takes commitment and endurance to bend with the winds of change while staying connected to who you are and who you choose to be in relationship with.
This transit may bring an awareness of the value of things and, most importantly, the value of the people in your life.
When you don’t accept that things are constantly evolving, you may grow fearful. Fearful that your relationship won’t survive, that you may lose your job, or that something you don’t want to let go of will disappear. When you’re stuck in fear, it can be difficult to move forward.
I have a deep connection to Gate 32. It’s activated three times in my natal design. And, oh boy, do I understand how embracing change is a skill that’s served me well. It seems my entire life has been about accepting change and embracing the journey the unexpected turns of events take me on.
Will you commit to enduring the changes life will bring? Can you adapt while maintaining a strong sense of purpose?
Nature shows us how trees growing near each other bend and adapt to enhance each other’s survival. Similarly, lasting relationships strike a beautiful balance between engaging with the outside world and finding nourishment at home.
You can change while staying connected to those you hold dear and remaining true to yourself.
Commitment needs no words. It’s reflected in endurance.
Relationships rooted in commitment can weather difficult conditions. Those sought only for benefit or pleasure may break apart when challenges arise.
Yet in nature, difficulty and limitation can become a treasure trove for bringing something to a higher level. Challenges can deepen relationships, opening the way to greater intimacy and understanding.
The Earth in Gate 42 reminds you that growth comes through completing cycles. Not everything’s meant to continue forever. Some experiences need to end so life can move forward. Can you recognize what has lasting value and what has reached its natural conclusion?
Overcoming the challenges that change brings requires continuity and commitment. Perhaps this is an opportunity to look within and examine the foundations of your relationships. You can be committed to either failure or success, and the results will eventually reveal which one it is.
Commitment gives durability to change. Nature is composed of phenomena that arise from the unseen movement of something deeper.
Will you trust the unseen and the unproven?
Like the wind that blows when hot and cold pressure systems collide, you can’t see the greater force, but you can observe its effects on what unfolds.
Trusting your inner wisdom gives durability to that which is to come.
Life is powerful and good. It’s profoundly committed to your success, but you must remain committed to meeting events halfway, with sincerity and openness.
Strengthen your trust in what remains unseen and unproven.
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.
