173- DECEMBER 2025: HUMAN DESIGN SUN AND EARTH TRANSITS
In this episode, Hali and I walked through the six Sun/Earth transits that carry us from early December all the way through New Year’s Eve — and there is a lot happening beneath the surface. Think themes of rhythm, change, integrity, self-acceptance, stillness, joy, provocation, and figuring out what’s truly worth fighting for.If you’re someone who naturally feels the pressure of the holidays — the gatherings, the expectations, the emotional dynamics — these transits give helpful language for what may be stirring inside you and around you.In this episode, we explore:Why Gate 5 and Gate 35 kick off December with this tug-of-war between routine and changeHow Gate 26 + Gate 45 bring up themes around influence, persuasion, self-worth, and leadershipThe very introspective, idea-heavy period of Gate 11 + Gate 12, and why timing mattersWhat Gate 10 + Gate 15 teach us about authenticity, acceptance, and honoring your own rhythmWhy Christmas weekend’s Gate 58 + Gate 52 might have you wanting both joy and stillnessHow New Year’s Eve’s Gate 38 + Gate 39 shake loose old patterns and clarify what’s actually worth your energyThe collective themes you might feel around family, gatherings, emotional waves, and year-end reflectionIf the month feels busy, emotional, or a little unpredictable, that’s exactly what the chart is showing. Knowing the themes makes it easier to stay in your own rhythm and respond instead of react.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction04:51 Workshop Replay available05:49 Sun Gate 5, Earth Gate 3525:47 Sun Gate 26, Earth Gate 4543:06 Sun Gate 11, Earth Gate 1253:01 Sun Gate 10, Earth Gate 1501:06:19 Sun Gate 58, Earth Gate 5201:18:03 Sun Gate 38, Earth Gate 3901:30:55 ICX of the Week01:34:55 Wrapping UpTired of fighting your own energy?

171-November 2025 Human Design Sun and Earth Transits: Highlighting Individuality
✨✨ If you’ve been wondering what your Incarnation Cross really means, and how it ties into the themes showing up in your life right now, I’d love for you to join me for Incarnation Cross Unlocked on Sunday, November 9th.It’s a live workshop where we’ll look at how your cross reveals the energetic story you’re here to live and what it’s trying to express through you.Early bird registration closes November 2nd at midnight, so if this feels like a yes, now’s the time to grab your spot:https://tinyurl.com/54zm7ms5___________________________________________________________________________November brings a real shift in tone. We’re leaving the tribe-centered Quarter of Duality and stepping into the Quarter of Mutation — the part of the cycle that’s all about individuality, creativity, and inner transformation.In this episode, Hali and I look at what that means through the Sun and Earth transits for the month. It’s a time when things start to feel a little different — like change is brewing under the surface, and something new is waiting to take shape.We also touch on how individuality doesn’t mean doing it all alone. It’s more about learning to trust what’s uniquely yours, even if no one else sees it yet.If you’ve been feeling restless or like you’re on the edge of something new (but can’t name it yet), this episode will make a lot of sense.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Announcements04:40 Upcoming Workshop and Human Design Education09:30 Protests and Civic Engagement14:03 November Transits Overview18:45 Sun Gate 1 Earth Gate 227:43 Trusting Your Inner Guidance31:26 Sun Gate 43 Earth Gate 2336:42 Understanding the Genius to Freak Channel46:42 Sun Gate 14 Earth Gate 859:24 Sun Gate 34 Earth Gate 2001:00:42 Manifesting Generators and Their Energy01:10:39 Sun Gate 9 Earth Gate 1601:12:55 Collective Energies and Mastery01:16:18 Balancing Enthusiasm and Mastery01:20:35 Quality Over Quantity: The Importance of Focus01:22:04 Embracing Your Unique Contribution01:22:51 Transit Wrap Up01:23:47 Incarnation Cross of the Week01:28:05 Wrap Up Get new episodes (and bonuses) delivered straight to your inbox! https://danaphillips.substack.com/Tired of fighting your own energy?
