An Intro to Human Design | Gate 28 | Shadow Work & Upcoming Transits

Today, the Sun moves into Gate 28, the Gate of the Game Player. (sidebar: Venus moved into Gate 28 yesterday, and Mercury will enter Gate 28 on the 30th, so this gate’s energy will be ACTIVE for the next couple of weeks!)

Gate 28 asks us to consider our relationship to risk-taking, especially when it comes to taking actions aligned with what feels purposeful, meaningful, and of service.

In honor of these current transits, here are some Shadow Work Journal prompts tailored to excavating your relationship to this gate's energy across the six lines. Zero in on your placement, or explore whichever ones speak to you, as we're all experiencing all of the variations of the energy of gate 28 through each of the lines over the course of the coming transits of the Sun, Mercury, & Venus.

Over the next few months, I'll be sharing where to look in your chart and how to engage with what you find to get the most out of your Human Design experiment.

But if you're ready to get started NOW, join the catalyst | fire community. This work is our focus for October & November.
