How Deep Will You Go?
We're transiting Gate 48 from October 2 - October 7
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” ~ Aristotle
Last week’s transit brought potential awareness of what you could correct, fix, or improve. This Solar Transit can bring awareness of solutions.
You may find a garden of magical possibilities.
And it’s mysterious. The Well is a place of great depth.
Because depth is not something you can learn. It’s an innate ability. You don’t really know what you know until someone comes along and draws it out of you.
Perhaps you’re being asked to reach deeper within your reservoir of spirit to activate intuition.
So, how deep does it go?
And yet, depth alone is not enough.
The Earth in Gate 21 brings us down into the practical world of resources, control, and responsibility. What will you do with what you have? What are you willing to take hold of, manage, and bring into form?
The Well holds the resource. Gate 21 asks us to engage with it.
Through the lens of the current Quarter of Duality, bonding and relationships, being in relationships allows others to draw from the inexhaustible fount of knowledge hidden deep inside of you.
And perhaps this is where the two gates meet.
Someone may draw something out of you that you didn’t know was there. Another may challenge you to claim something you have been afraid to claim. The depth within you becomes something you can experience, share, and use.
When your depth is used for the common good, when this knowing comes from your true self … you have the potential to make the world a better place for us all.
The inner and outer cannot be separated.
When you learn from others … and others learn from you … the connection has the potential to delve deep and to help each of you find your unique pattern of development and learning.
When you’re open, you can transform fear of being inadequate into the vulnerability required for intimacy. This may bring an initiation into a more authentic expression of who you are.
Perhaps the question is not only how deep you can go.
Is it also what you’re willing to do with what you find there?
Will you draw upon the unseen and unrecognized potential that exists within you?
Can you delve into the inexhaustible resources within finding your unique pattern of development?
And when you find something of value within the depths of your own mysterious nature … will you trust yourself enough to bring it into the world?
You could spend a lifetime and never come anywhere close to exhausting the unknown depths of your mysterious nature.
“Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.”
~ Oprah Winfrey

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.
