Can you learn to trust your higher-self to guide you through your life with perfect timing?
We're transiting Gate 46 from September 21 - September 26
“YOUR HEART KNOWS THE WAY, RUN IN THAT DIRECTION.” ~ Rumi
Pushing Upward. Step by step and little by little we gather what’s required to rise upward mentally and spiritually in this life.
This solar transit’s energy brings a theme of identity and direction in life. It shines the light on learning to love the perfection of every experience while trusting that every experience is right and that no feelings should be avoided.
Can you learn to trust your higher self to guide you through your life with perfect timing?
I’ve experienced how difficult it can be to make sense out of life as it’s happening. It can be overwhelming.
However, life is designed to be a continuously growing wealth of experience and wisdom to share with others.
So, by releasing expectations about how your experiences should turn out, you make space for each experience to be a discovery.
And a discovery is never truly a failure. It can be an opportunity to gain experience … to learn and to grow.
“Every experience is a form of exploration.” ~Ansel Adams
Whether you label an experience as a success, or a failure, is largely dependent on the determination of your higher self to ‘push upwards’ to explore and discover what’s there. This abstract process of discovery can lead to fulfilling your highest potential, or it may bring chaos and dis-ease when you’ve decided what the cycle should bring.
Small steps slowly and surely accumulate into big growth. What starts out as an acorn eventually becomes a forest giant, but it doesn’t happen overnight. And a tree gains much strength by bending with the wind.
By remaining tolerant and flexible, you’ll be able to maintain a conscious innocence that fuels your never-ending growth. Determination is necessary to manage growth, but an inner enthusiasm for life is what drives it.
So, from a place of trust and deep knowing, can you bend around obstacles that arise?
When you build your foundation from the inside out, your successes can bring true fulfillment.
“The plant is blind but it knows enough to keep pushing upwards towards the light, and it will continue to do this in the face of endless discouragements.”
~ George Orwell
Love Yourself,

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.
