Welcome to The Frequency Labyrinth™, hosted by Adrianne McDonald. This podcast blends Human Design, the Gene Keys, astrology, and shamanic wisdom into grounded tools for modern life. If you’re tired of surface-level self-help and cookie-cutter formulas, you’ll find depth here — the kind that helps you stop outsourcing your truth and start living it with clarity, courage, and trust. Ancient wisdom. Practical integration. Ironclad self-trust.
This episode takes an honest look at people-pleasing through the lens of Human Design. Where do we bend, over-correct, or shrink ourselves just to keep others comfortable — and what does it cost us?
With the Sun moving through Gate 18 — Judgment, Integrity, Perfection — we’ll explore how this energy reveals the fracture of pleasing others and the gift of standing whole. I share why this gate is personal for me and how your design a...
This episode dives into the September 21st Solar Eclipse in Virgo. With the Sun and Moon meeting in Gate 46 — the Gate of the Determination of the Self — this eclipse pulls us out of the mind and back into the body. It asks us to stop treating life like a burden to carry and start experiencing it as something alive in every step.
We’re standing at a culmination point, with the South Node close by, showing us the old Virgo habits th...
I’ve been wanting to weave more shamanic insight into the podcast, and this episode is the first step. In a polarized, chaotic world where real spiritual support often feels thin, tending your inner life matters more than ever. When you show up from a more healed place, everyone benefits.
This week, I share the Celtic teaching of the Three Cauldrons from The Cauldron of Poesy: Coire Goiriath (Warming), Coire Ernmae (Motion), and Co...
This episode dives into the September 7th Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. With the Moon in Doubt opposite the Sun in Confusion, this eclipse isn’t here to hand us neat answers. It’s asking us to live inside the question — to notice where we grasp for certainty and instead lean into what we can feel, sense, and trust in our body.
We’re standing at a threshold moment where old cycles are dissolving and something new is quietly pressing thro...
September 2025 is a threshold month, defined by a Pisces Lunar Eclipse (Sept 7), a Virgo Solar Eclipse at 29° (Sept 21), Saturn retrograding back into Pisces, Mercury’s shift from Virgo into Libra, and the rumble of Uranus retrograde in Gemini shaking what we thought was stable. This isn’t about control — it’s about surrender, reorientation, and emergence.
Through the Human Design lens, we move from Gate 40’s resolve into Gate 64’s...
This episode dives into the August 23rd New Moon in Virgo — a Black Moon at zero degrees that marks a threshold reset.
With the Moon in Gate 59, the Gate of Intimacy, we’re moving through the Gene Key spectrum of Dishonesty → Intimacy → Transparency. Virgo’s call for refinement collides with a square to Uranus in Gemini, shaking up neat plans and breaking down the walls we’ve built around closeness.
We’ll explore what this lunation...
This episode cuts through the mystique around the Human Design Incarnation Cross — the life theme you’ve been living all along, whether you’ve named it or not.
With roots in your conscious and unconscious Sun/Earth gates, the Cross isn’t a cosmic job title or a prescriptive “purpose.” It’s the background frequency of your design — and the way it expresses depends on your Type, Profile, and the Quarter you’re in.
We’ll break down wh...
This episode dives into the August 9th Full Moon in Aquarius — a lunation that exposes the truth you’ve been circling but not touching.
With the Sun in Gate 7 and the Moon in Gate 13, the spotlight is on leadership rooted in authenticity and the stories that shape (or limit) you. Pluto’s influence makes these truths impossible to ignore, while Mars in Libra opposes the Saturn–Neptune retrograde in Aries, pushing you to choose betwe...
In this episode, we walk through the deep currents of August — a month shaped by revelation, recalibration, and the kind of commitment that begins where clarity leaves off.
With the Sun moving through six potent Human Design gates and nearly every outer planet in retrograde, this isn’t a time for rushing forward. It’s a time to notice what’s surfacing, to feel what’s shifting, and to honor what you can no longer pretend not to know...
In this episode, we explore the deeper frequency beneath Gate 31’s leadership — the shadow of control, the ache of invisibility, and the quiet revolution of influence built not on volume, but resonance.
With the Leo New Moon still stirring heart fire and Saturn + Neptune in Aries reworking identity, voice, and power, this moment asks more than just what you're saying — it asks why.
We dive into:
Why Gate 31 isn’t about claimi...
In this episode, we explore the deeper current beneath Gate 53’s pressure to begin, the shadow of immaturity, and what conscious commitment actually looks like when you’ve been shedding, integrating, and re-learning what resonance even feels like.
With Uranus freshly in Gemini and Mercury in its retrograde shadow, your mind may be buzzing—but that doesn’t mean it’s telling the truth.
We dive into:
The Root pressure behind Gat...
This isn’t about managing the pressure. It’s about asking what it’s protecting—and what it’s preventing.
In this episode of The Frequency Labyrinth, we explore July’s energetic terrain through Gate 39’s provocation, Gate 31’s leadership, and the multi-layered impact of Uranus in Gemini and a Mercury retrograde that wants more honesty, not more content.
From nervous system tension to power dynamics that no longer resonate, we unrave...
I’ve been quiet the past couple weeks—literally. Life took my voice and handed me stillness. In this episode, I’m sharing what happens when life (and your body) forces a hard stop, and how Gate 52 isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about learning how to be with everything. We talk stress, restraint, and the kind of stillness that sharpens your focus instead of numbing you out. I share how this gate plays out in my own chart (spoiler: i...
This isn’t about chasing the next thing. It’s about noticing what’s still hungry—and asking why.
In this episode of The Frequency Labyrinth, we explore the shift from Gate 35 to Gate 45, and Jupiter’s transition into Cancer. From compulsive craving to sacred stewardship, we unravel how these energies invite you to stop performing growth and start living from presence.
We dive into:
The shadow of Hunger and the root of spiritu...
This isn’t a month to power through. It’s a month to nourish what’s been quietly asking for your attention.
In this episode of The Frequency Labyrinth, we dive into the energetic map of June 2025—tracking Human Design Gates 16, 35, 45, 12, 15, and 52 alongside the Full Moon in Sagittarius, the Summer Solstice, and a deeply restorative New Moon in Cancer.
With Saturn in Aries pressing you to show up differently—and Jupiter entering ...
In this episode, we unravel the real reason mindset work often flatlines—and it’s not because your thoughts are broken. It’s because presence isn’t something you think your way into. It’s something you build the capacity to hold. We dive into the Sun’s transit through Human Design Gate 20, the Gate of Now, and why this energy cuts straight through the noise of performance and into the pulse of what’s real.
We also explore Saturn’s ...
In this episode, we journey into the depths of your core wound and the path to true contribution through the lens of Human Design, astrology, and shamanic wisdom. We explore how your Design Mars reveals where you’ve lost power and how your Moon holds the key to emotional safety and attraction. But it’s not just about healing wounds—we also uncover the Golden Shadow, the hidden brilliance you’ve been keeping small, and how reclaimin...
In this episode, we explore The Frequency Labyrinth—a guided journey through your Human Design and planetary placements that’s less about seeking and more about remembering. You’ll hear how frequency shapes everything, and why alignment isn’t something you find—it’s something you reclaim.
We also unpack the energy of the Full Moon in Scorpio, highlighting Human Design Gate 23 and the Moon's transit through Gate 43. This isn’t just ...
This month is about building what’s real—with steadier hands, sharper discernment, and energy that finally starts to move. In this episode of The Frequency Labyrinth, we break down the Human Design gates active in May (24, 2, 23, 8, 20, and 16), the Gene Key themes underneath them, and how to work with the energy of the month.
You’ll get: • A clear breakdown of each Sun gate and its real-life relevance • May’s major astrological sh...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
