How do you define integrity?
We're transiting Gate 7 from August 5 - August 10
INTEGRITY IS DOING THE RIGHT THING EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING. CS Lewis
How do you define integrity?
This transit’s energy comes from a direction deep inside that is focused on moving into the future.
Discovering who you are – and what your foundational beliefs are – within a group supports you in learning more about your true self.
Who are you when in relationship with others?
You may find yourself looking to find balance between the need to conform to other’s expectations and the need to express your authentic identity.
True pleasure in what you do emerges when it taps into and authenticates the fullest potential of who you are and what you are here to do in service to the whole.
You can become an instrumental part of the collective force when you’re fulfilled and true to your own nature.
Can you also allow your vision to be added to and augmented by others? Remember, no person is an island.
So, bonding and relationships become the thematic of this next quarter in the Wheel – the Quarter of Duality.
And, all relationships start with your relationship with yourself.
This gate’s energy encourages you to ask the question “Am I in integrity with myself when I’m in relationships with others?”
It’s asking you to check-in with who you really are so that you can be in relationship with others as your authentic self.
This is a gate of leadership. It’s the embodiment of, and essence of, leadership that is elected or sanctioned by others.
The essence of who you are is what’s being recognized and invited to lead the group.
When you lead from a place of integrity – who you really are – your leadership can be truly supported by others.
This type of leadership promotes harmony by guiding the energy of the group itself from a place of your deepest truth.
APPEAR AS YOU ARE – BE AS YOU APPEAR ~ Rumi

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.
