New Year! New Beginnings!
The month of January ushers in the opportunity to shift.
We are called to look at the patterns that have not served us, and to make a conscious decision to up level our lives.
Human Design supports us in understanding how to use the planetary influences to focus and optimize these shifts. During any given period, it reveals the energies that are impacting us personally – as well as the energies influencing humanity as a whole.
In astrology we track the planets through the 12 signs for a month each. We are currently in Capricorn. In Human Design we track the movement of the planets as they transit the 64 hexagrams (or gates) of the Chinese IChing. So instead of every month, the Sun and Earth transit every 5 or 6 days.
Following is a guide to watch these transits throughout January. See how they impact your life. Consider the energies at play and utilize them during the month to help you make sense of and navigate the new frontier that awaits!
