Details

Human Design can be mind-blowing…but also kind of confusing. That’s where we come in. Welcome to the Human Design Hive Podcast, where we (Dana, your Human Design guide, and Hali, my daughter and co-host) help you untangle who you really are from who the world told you to be—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting your own path. Whether you’re new to Human Design or already deep in the rabbit hole, we’re here to explore how understanding yourself on an energetic level can shift everything—your relationships, career, confidence, and the way you move through the world. Because when you stop living by who you think you should be and start trusting who you actually are, everything changes. Expect deep insights, relatable conversations, and plenty of laughs as we break it all down in a way that actually makes sense for real life. Subscribe, share, and join the Hive! 🐝✨ danaphillips.substack.com

173- DECEMBER 2025: HUMAN DESIGN SUN AND EARTH TRANSITS
<p>In this episode, Hali and I walked through the six Sun/Earth transits that carry us from early December all the way through New Year’s Eve — and there is <em>a lot</em> happening beneath the surface. Think themes of rhythm, change, integrity, self-acceptance, stillness, joy, provocation, and figuring out what’s truly worth fighting for.</p><p>If you’re someone who naturally feels the pressure of the holidays — the gatherings, the expectations, the emotional dynamics — these transits give helpful language for what may be stirring inside you and around you.</p><p><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></p><p>Why <strong>Gate 5 and Gate 35</strong> kick off December with this tug-of-war between routine and change</p><p>How <strong>Gate 26 + Gate 45</strong> bring up themes around influence, persuasion, self-worth, and leadership</p><p>The very introspective, idea-heavy period of <strong>Gate 11 + Gate 12</strong>, and why timing matters</p><p>What <strong>Gate 10 + Gate 15</strong> teach us about authenticity, acceptance, and honoring your own rhythm</p><p>Why Christmas weekend’s <strong>Gate 58 + Gate 52</strong> might have you wanting both joy and stillness</p><p>How New Year’s Eve’s <strong>Gate 38 + Gate 39</strong> shake loose old patterns and clarify what’s actually worth your energy</p><p>The collective themes you might feel around family, gatherings, emotional waves, and year-end reflection</p><p>If the month feels busy, emotional, or a little unpredictable, that’s exactly what the chart is showing.

171-November 2025 Human Design Sun and Earth Transits: Highlighting Individuality
<p>✨✨ If you’ve been wondering what your <em>Incarnation Cross</em> really means, and how it ties into the themes showing up in your life right now, I’d love for you to join me for <strong>Incarnation Cross Unlocked </strong>on <strong>Sunday, November 9th</strong>.</p><p>It’s a live workshop where we’ll look at how your cross reveals the energetic story you’re here to live and what it’s trying to express through you.</p><p><strong>Early bird registration closes November 2nd at midnight</strong>, so if this feels like a yes, now’s the time to grab your spot:<a target="_blank" href="https://tinyurl.com/54zm7ms5">https://tinyurl.com/54zm7ms5</a></p><p>___________________________________________________________________________</p><p></p><p>November brings a real shift in tone. We’re leaving the tribe-centered Quarter of Duality and stepping into the <strong>Quarter of Mutation</strong> — the part of the cycle that’s all about individuality, creativity, and inner transformation.</p><p>In this episode, Hali and I look at what that means through the <strong>Sun and Earth transits</strong> for the month. It’s a time when things start to feel a little different — like change is brewing under the surface, and something new is waiting to take shape.</p><p>We also touch on how individuality doesn’t mean doing it all alone. It’s more about learning to trust what’s uniquely yours, even if no one else sees it yet.</p><p>If you’ve been feeling restless or like you’re on the edge of something new (but can’t name it yet), this episode will make a lot of sense.</p><p>Chapters</p><p>00:00 Introduction and Announcements</p><p>04:40 Upcoming Workshop and Human Design Education</p><p>09:30 Protests and Civic Engagement</p><p>14:03 November Transits Overview</p><p>18:45 Sun Gate 1 Earth Gate 2</p><p>27:43 Trusting Your Inner Guidance</p><p>31:26 Sun Gate 43 Earth Gate 23</p><p>36:42 Understanding the Genius to Freak Channel</p><p>46:42 Sun Gate 14 Earth Gate 8</p><p>59:24 Sun Gate 34 Earth Gate 20</p><p>01:00:42 Manifesting Generators and Their Energy</p><p>01:10:39 Sun Gate 9 Earth Gate 16</p><p>01:12:55 Collective Energies and Mastery</p><p>01:16:18 Balancing Enthusiasm and Mastery</p><p>01:20:35 Quality Over Quantity: The Importance of Focus</p><p>01:22:04 Embracing Your Unique Contribution</p><p>01:22:51 Transit Wrap Up</p><p>01:23:47 Incarnation Cross of the Week</p><p>01:28:05 Wrap Up </p><p></p><p>Get new episodes (and bonuses) delivered straight to your inbox! <a target="_blank" href="https://danaphillips.substack.com/">https://danaphillips.substack.com/</a></p><p>Tired of fighting your own energy? <strong>Your Human Design for Energetic Clarity</strong> guidebook translates your Human Design into practical wisdom so you can stop forcing what doesn't work and start living what does.
