Ep. 164: Transit Report for Dec 8th- 19th
In this episode, we discuss the next two transits over December 8th-19th, 2025. Transits are like astrological weather showing us which themes we're faced with during certain time periods. I'd like to emphasize the importance of understanding transits without becoming overly fixated. The most important thing here is to simply notice if the transits affect you. In this episode, we discuss two specific transits: Gate 26, which is transiting the Sun Dec 8th-14th, and Gate 11, which is transiting the Sun Dec 14th-19th. Always remember when learning complex Human Design principals to stay connected with your inner wisdom and intuition rather than relying solely on external knowledge. If you are brand new to Human Design, this could be very overwhelming and not the best place to start! Go all the way back to episode 1 and listen sequentially for the best learning experience.
