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.
Inside, we explore the quiet wisdom of Gate 33’s privacy, the integrity of Gate 7’s leadership, the paradoxes of Gate 4’s mental unraveling, and the sacred threshold of Gate 29 — where full-hearted commitment demands an honest reckoning. Gate 59 invites intimacy, but not without transparency. And Gate 40 closes the month with a reminder: real service begins with boundaries.
We also dive into the Aquarius Full Moon and Virgo New Moon — not just as events, but as energetic mirrors — reflecting where you’re craving connection, and where your deeper truth is ready to be spoken.
Plus: what to watch for this month through the lens of your Human Design profile — where the revelations are likely to land, how to adapt with grace, and what kind of commitment actually supports who you're becoming.
This is a month to let resonance lead. To listen closely. To choose wisely. And to remember: Not everything that wants your energy deserves it.
