Is it time to stir the pot?
We're transiting Gate 50 from October 19 - October 24
The mystical name for this gate is The Guardian. This week’s transit brings the energy of caring for, and nurturing, the relationships of those we hold most dear – friends, family & community. Here we establish the values and rules we follow in relationship to others.
This is the body’s intelligence – intuition and instinct – to have the correct values in your relationship to others. In a sense, YOU are the Cauldron and your instinct is the guide.
Everything you are, and all that you know, is put in the Cauldron and comes out uniquely as you. This is an opportunity for you to gain a deeper understanding of how you relate to others – an awareness of the synergy that exists between your inner and outer worlds.
And, each value or rule that you establish in your life comes with a responsibility to set the correct boundaries for you with others in your life.
Do you do what’s expected of you whether or not it matches what you know your truth to be?
This alchemical process of what is correct for you and how you behave in your inner and outer worlds deserves your reverence.
The focus of this transit is about supporting others – and being supported in return – by being nurtured and cared for. To thrive in relationship a balance is needed.
This energy brings a potential awareness that is the root of family, friends and culture. It’s a powerful time to contemplate if you are being true to your own, unique tribal law.
Is it time to stir the pot? Do you see something that needs to change? And, is it correct for you to take action? Only you know the answers for you.
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SET YOURSELF ON FIRE TO KEEP OTHER PEOPLE WARM. – Unknown
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.
