Will you take the road less travelled?
We're transiting Gate 56 from July 18 - July 24
The Storyteller.
Spellbinding voices that stimulate and delight us with stories of their adventures emerge from the energy of this transit.
Throughout the ages our rich history was communicated by those who wandered the countryside. They brought tales of dragons and kings, floods and prophets, and heroes who sailed the seas in search of treasure to those who would eagerly listen.
The ancient bards roamed from village to village sharing stories of what they witnessed and the stories that they were told. These stories were likely embellished each time by the individuals who shared them.
These colorful tales that were spun stimulated the formation of our ideals and beliefs. However, they weren’t necessarily the whole truth.
What was (or is) shared about our lives usually has facts sprinkled throughout, but the unique lessons come from your interpretation of the experience tinged with emotional overtones.
Stories add colorful threads to the expanding tapestry of humanity’s progress throughout all time.
Oral traditions of storytelling predate printed materials and give you a connection to your history before pen was put to paper. Storytelling was used to explain natural phenomena, creation, and gave birth to a wide variety of gods and myths.
Storytellers were regarded as healers, spiritual guides, teachers, cultural secret keepers and entertainers. It can be seen as a foundation for learning and teaching. While listeners are engaged, the possibility arises to imagine new perspectives and invites a transformative and empathetic experience.
Taking the road less traveled can invigorate your sense of discovery. Will you listen to other people’s stories and be open to how a new perspective may lead you to experience something completely new or different about yourself?
What stories will you share and what stories will you hear during this transit?
Your life can be a place of boundless discovery.
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.
