What is a “transit”?

I honestly don’t even know where to start with this? But something I have been wanting to do for YEARS is to start writing, specifically writing about the current transits and the way that each of the energies/gates are impacting me or even what I see and feel on a collective level. So we are starting here!!!

So first thing is first.. what the hell is a transit?

Transits are the always changing weather of the cosmos, shifting planetary energies that influence our emotions, mindset, and interactions.

In astrology, planets move through different signs and houses, activating different themes in our lives, much like they way the different seasons bring new experiences.

In Human Design, planetary transits activate different gates and centers in our charts, temporarily shifting how we process energy and experience life around us.


Watching the way the transits impact our lives on both a macro and micro level can be a really beautiful and intentional way to see and interact with the world around us.

Knowing that the Sun is entering Gate 44, and that it will be there for 6 days, can bring our awareness to many things!

Like our ability to recognize patterns in group dynamics or our communities, during this time we may notice areas of our lives where we are repeating the past, or our instincts about people may be turned up a notch or two as well.

And then to be able to zoom out and see the way this energy impacts larger groups of people and influences current events, is absolutely fascinating! It gives us the ability to have more compassion for our experiences, and the way that we are operating, so that we can truly allow, accept, and embrace ourselves. (The Sun is not currently in Gate 44, but you get the gist.)

My intention is to update you every 6 days when the Sun moves into a new gate, and to start a conversation around what that energy might feel like, helping all of us familiarize ourselves with the 64 gates and understand ourselves and the greater landscape of our society in a more intimate way.
