Human Design Collective Transits for Quarter 1 2026

I had a different email written to go out today…but instead I’m going to talk about a few transits.

I am not one to run my days by the transits. I don’t typically look ahead at what is coming UNLESS I start to notice some patterns….

Usually, my youngest child has an epic meltdown – Gate 36 in transit.

My Voxer is flooded with lots of big emotions – usually the transits have the collective with a defined solar plexus.

Clients are usually overwhelmed, and the head center is defined.

But this past week, I’ve watched social media be a fury and total divide.

I kept scrolling, trying to figure out why this energy felt so familiar, and so I turned to the transits.

The two energies in transit that stood out to me were:

The 37-40 Channel is defined right now – meaning EVERYONE is defined in their solar plexus.
Gate 25 is in Transit.

For those who don’t know what I mean by transit, at any given time, there are energies coming at the earth… these energies will form the human design charts of those born today, but we are all always being influenced by these transits both personally and collectively.

To put this simply we ALL have a defined Heart AND defined solar plexus right now.

I have all of these energies in my own chart, and these are energies that I have spent a great deal of time deconditioning. So to see them playing out collectively, in real time, gave me flashbacks to my old self….so let’s take a moment to dive into what this means…

First, let’s start with the 37-40 The Channel of Community.

Transit Dates – December 23, 2025 – May 13, 2026

With this channel in transit, it means that the collective has a defined solar plexus AND a defined heart. This is really important to note because, from my experience, when the collective has a defined solar plexus, emotions get heightened. Things can be really emotionally sloppy and all over the place. When you pair that with the defined heart desires and willpower are now joining the table.

The thing to understand about the channel is the channel of the contract. It is tribal. It is concerned with resources and family first, then community.

If I do x and you do y, it all works out. But the problem with this channel is that in the low expression, when you don’t do y…this energy ratchets up. Typically, it ratchets up three times before it explodes.

In order to avoid said explosion, one needs to articulate that one didn’t do x and renegotiate the agreement.

And once this energy explodes, it can take time to recover…meaning you can become exhausted and depleted from the emotional explosion.

With energy in transit for the next 5 months, I would invite you to check in with yourself to see if you are first rested, restored, and recharged. This energy has the power to provide great resources, but can only do so from a place where it feels rested.

Some questions you can ask yourself when it comes to this energy:

Do I feel a sense of calm in my body like the glassy ocean on a calm day?
Am I valuing myself enough to take time to rest so I can make a decision from a resourced place?
Do you actually love / desire / feel passionate about doing _________? Are you just will powering it?

Some questions you can ask yourself when it comes to navigating others AND this energy:

Am I actually clear on what I am responsible for and what others are responsible for? Do I have a clear understanding and a contract in place?
Is my loyalty keeping me from what I know is best for me?
Do I need to have the hard conversation with someone to renegotiate the bargain/agreement/contract?
Am I self-sacrificing so I don’t rock the boat?

As we move through this transit, I believe we will see many of these explosive emotional events because the global incarnation cross, Cross of Planning (Collective and Tribal energy), is moving away, and we are moving into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, which is more of an individual energy.

So many of us are let down by the systems and structures around us; there is an undercurrent of a collective not-self bubbling to the surface in so many aspects of our daily lives.

This means that this energy, which is already highly sensitive, will likely be even more heightened and ratcheted up, which often leads to emotional sloppiness and exhaustion.

The best way to navigate this energy, from my own personal experience, is to remember that just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should….especially if you are not passionate about it or desire to do something about it. You should have the hard conversation once you feel calm.

Since under normal circumstances, only 37% of us have a defined heart, this is going to be a challenge for many.

You will see people be MORE passionate and MORE emotional than they typically are.

Gate 37 recognizes that there is a need for resources, but Gate 40 provides the power (because it is attached to the heart) to go out and take action on it, even though it may not be responsible to take action.

In an effort to provide, because gate 40 is the gate of the breadwinner, it will self-sacrifice, but that’s not how it is here to operate in a high expression. Self-sacrifice and suffering are the low expression of these gates.

Remember these energies need to come to neutral before they take action…they aren’t here to act from the highs or the lows.

They need calm and clarity before acting on what they are passionate about. They need clarity on what they are responsible for and what others are responsible for, and they are not here to be on all the time.

As we navigate this transit….I recommend that when you begin to feel emotionally heightened or ratcheted up, pause…

While I know this can be easier said than done with this energy try. Go write, get outside, move your body, listen to music….this will help process the high end or low end of the wave. Don’t fight it; allow it to move through you. Then communicate. Then take action if you see fit.

Now let’s dive into Gate 25, The Gate of Spirit of the Self.

Transit Dates – February 10, 2025 – May 23, 2026

Gate 25 is one of the gates of Love – love of the individual, and it is focused on centering the individual back to themselves again. This centering comes from the challenges that this energy faces, and as it faces challenges, it must remain soft, compassionate, centered, and not harden itself off to the world.

When I teach this Gate in HD Wild, I often talk about this energy as the ultimate space holder, assuming they are in the high expression. They help people come back home to themselves by peeling away the hard shell of what has happened to them, and they can find themselves again, so they can move through the world. In order to peel that shell, the other often needs time to retreat. This energy in the high expression has a keen sense of who is taking action in a pure place and who is not.

But the challenge here is especially with this energy in the collective… is that in order to live out the high expression of this energy, one must go through the fire of experience and not let it harden oneself so that one can retain innocence, childlike wonder, and compassion, which leads to universal love or conversely hate. This energy is here to let go so that one can be selfless and love oneself again….

But because everything in human design exists in dichotomy, this is also HATE. Self-hate, hate of others, lack of humanity, and mercilessness. This energy can be ignorant, cold, jaded, and selfish. Indifferent. Hostile. Careless.

When it comes to navigating this energy, remember that Gate 25 is here to

Support you in finding compassion, understanding, and letting go. I answer the question, “What do I need to let go of in order to find solace/purpose/love/self-worth?”

In order to shed the hardening and hate from the fire of experience, one must retreat, go inward, and find perspective. This energy, when hardened, is not here to go to battle in the world….because it will only spread more hate, hurt, and jadedness.

This energy in the low expression can often make you feel like you can’t get a full breath of air. It can almost constrict the breathing when in the not-self.

This energy must let go and shed what has hardened it and hold space for others to do the same. It must spread self-love, worthiness, and compassion regardless of the human in front of it.

This energy, in short, is here to help us heal if leveraged properly.

Some activities for managing this energy are journaling, breathwork, meditation, and Qi-Gong.

I typically don’t share these types of things publicly ( I do in my groups, so please let me know if you like this sort of thing), but I felt called to get this out into the world today.

Part of why I typically don’t share these things is because people CAN have a tendency to use the transits as an excuse for what is happening to them or around them.

I am of the belief that the transits are tests for us to navigate personally and collectively so we can keep coming back home to ourselves.

The transits aren’t excuses but add texture and context to what we are navigating in the sea of life.

This is why I like to use the metaphor of human design as a lighthouse calling us home again and again to ourselves. Let these transits support you in coming back home to yourself again.

These transits are energies I have overcome deep, deep conditioning around, and so I felt called to share because I know just how challenging they can be.

Be patient with yourself.

Take time alone so you can breathe.

Give yourself grace, space, and compassion.

Stop doomscrolling.

Get clear on your values, priorities, and beliefs.

What are you willing to fight for? (Gate 38 also in transit)

What are you actually responsible for?

What do you need to let go of so that you can love yourself (& others) again?

We are all in this together…each of our actions creates a ripple effect in the universe….

I believe we are creating a new world, and what world is created depends on the energy we put into the world….

Expansion or potentially extinction.

Be the light. Spread love. Hold compassion for others.

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest.

With your human design in mind,
