Can you be at ease with not knowing?
We're transiting Gate 47 from September 9 - September 14
BE AT EASE WITH NOT KNOWING AND THE ANSWERS WILL COME.
This transit arrives with the energy of conceptualizing or realizing solutions for what is confusing to you – or not.
And, continuing with the theme of bonding and relationships, not knowing what a relationship means – why it started or ended – can feel very oppressing. This type of mental anxiety can lead you to feeling that life can sometimes be futile.
It’s not always easy to make sense out of the past.
It can be easy to fall into victim mode and believe that life is working against you. This mindset can lead to exhaustion and set you on a path of neediness that isn’t healthy.
With gentle compassion for yourself, you can be brave and endure the temporary confusion. It’s a natural process.
While Gate 47 is transiting the Sun, the Earth is in Gate 22 and we are grounded by Grace.
You may have a busy, busy mind searching for clarity and yet, if you relax into the deluge of thoughts and images and ideas …. eventually you’ll find clarity.
It can be such a graceful process. And the energy of Grace and Oppression may be delivering a message to accept what you can’t change and to go ahead and feel what you need to feel.
“True wisdom is knowing what you do not know.” ~ Confucius
This is resonating with me so very deeply right now. Finding grace and accepting what I can’t change.
Can you release everything in your mind that isn’t necessary until there is nothing left but the perfection and beauty of what is?
And will you realize that not knowing is merely part of the journey to knowing? Are you able to be comfortable with the fact that not everything has to be (or can be) known?
Although your mind might search for reasons and ways to challenge ‘what is’ … you may find peace of mind comes from acceptance.
Although you might feel weak inside, an “Oppressive” situation could be revealing an inner strength.
And inner strength can’t be shaken because it isn’t dependent on external conditions.
Empowerment is possible when you surrender to what is and relax into not needing to know everything right now.
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.
