The Sun: How Your Light Shines into the World
70% of the Neutrino Stream
The Sun represents the primary Yang force of our nature. It’s the archetype of the father. We can’t separate the sun from the earth. They are the prime yin/yang within us. The sun creates the electromagnetic field of the solar cell in which we live.
The design sun (red in your chart) represents the biogenetic themes inherited from the father. The personality sun (black in your chart) is the window through which the very light of who we are shines out on the world. Whenever you see the sun, either conscious or unconscious, in an undefined center, it is as though a person’s light is locked up in a room with all the shutters closed. They can’t find consistent access to 70% of who they are. They are dependent on others and on planetary conditioning to define the center. Thus the seduction of the harmonic gate is huge because that person hooks them up to their inner light.
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.
