the monthly transits

a collection of moods

+ big save the dates for the year…

There are lots of options for tuning in + flowing with the natural cycles of nature + the cosmos. Consider sitting with the energy you’re in each month, meditate on it, marinate, let it roll around in your mind, breathe it, feel it into your body. Step into it. Make plans accordingly, make a mood board, set some goals and actions steps, let yourself vibe + align AND use it to pull threads within The Collective which is why IN THE NOW is always the best place to begin!

astro transits

You can utilize this to just pay attention to what is going on in the cosmic weather and/or to bring awareness to what your timelord/guiding planet for the year is up to based on your annual profections as well as big moments taking place in your profected house(s), and even secondary timelord + house based on your monthly protection), which can bring greater alignment and flow to your life.

MOONS 2026

T H E N O D E S

Based on your chart, we can explore what this year invites us to purge + release as well as what we may feel starved for through our Natal Chart.

Look to the House that LEO rules for where there may be the need for some letting go + a clarification of what is really necessary, important + relevant to your life as you move forward while letting the superfluous, unnecessary, and that which no longer serves you, fall away. There may be decrease or downsizing in these areas in some way.

This will be more of a felt experience if you have planets interacting with the Node. You might also look to what Gates ruled by LEO you have defined in your Conscious Definition. Find the Gates by Sign here.

Look to the House that Aquarius rules for where there may be some activation, a craving, you may find you are deeply drawn to the topics of this house. Be mindful that it does not become an unhealthy obsession or go to excess but instead stays in the realm of healthy ambition + increase.

You might also look to Gates ruled by Aquarius and if you have any planets being activated in your Conscious Definition. Find the Gates by Sign here.

This is the axis of INDIVIDUATION. And is the perfect bridge into the new Incarnation Cross shifting at the beginning of 2027 (in addition to the cosmic basket that has the astro community in an uproar). It is highly supportive of where we are going in the most sweetly destined way.

Your personal North Node is a compass for your life and your Soul’s unique journey. You can grab a field guide on your North Node here. It is IMO (even as a typically traditionally based astrologer) one of the most important things to know about yourself and how to orient in this life.

In traditional astrology we think about the Nodes as increase and decrease. The North Node is compared to the head of the dragon and the South Node the tail. We tend to crave and desire more of the themes where the North Node is hanging out collectively and let go of things around the topics of the South Node’s current home. They have also always felt fated to me. And this placement especially just feels oh so perfect an ally for humanity’s move forward into the new world.

If you haven’t yet listened to the 2026 talk — this is a great time or it may be a great time to revisit because this move really reinforces ALL the things I shared about Pluto being in Aquarius.

Yes AI, tech advances, innovation. I think much bigger conversations around frequency being the basis for everything including how we support our bodies. Around plasma and its role in the world. It is power back to the people energy. It is resources returning to the people. It is community and collaboration. It is less hierarchical and more putting everyone on a much more even playing field. It is finding your soul tribe and intentional communities. Advances in aviation, in health —hello med beds. It is freedom forward.

And it is asking us to be the most authentic — true to your core and the unique journey your Soul came to have — self. And from THAT place you will know what you want to contribute to society. And you will be able to think about that from a more resourced state rather than a survival state.

Now as much as we have Jupiter bringing some sweet support and blessings to the topics of Leo. We also have Ketu, the tail of the dragon, the South Node hanging out there. An invitation to release. Which means there will be some falling away of what is no longer aligned in that area of your life as well. More of a felt experience if you have personal planets there with which the South Node is interacting.

Collectively this feels like the support we need to really move away from pedestaling just about anyone. It will most likely be a shift in celebrity culture. In influencer culture. We are already seeing that a lot of social media cannot be trusted as AI is popping up all over. Even people I have respected for decades are replacing themselves with an AI version to share their work. Which feels quite pointless if I’m honest. We don’t need more disconnected, disembodied information overwhelm. We need more presence and genuine connection. And because of this people will reach for truth, for humanity, for in person, for places and spaces they can trust.

There will be massive disclosure around corruption especially in areas of leadership. We will be moving away from the 1% vibes and gross inequalities.

It actually feels like another really sweet cosmic wink from the Universe. An “I’ve got you” from this portal we are all moving through.

hd transits

There are transits in Human Design that represent the themes/flavors we are working with throughout the month. This is another way you can choose to work with The Collective by working in the energy of the now. When the planets are transiting through different planetary energies, we are all bathing in that energy, experiencing a gentle activation (and therefore access) of those archetypes within. The one we tend to look at most is the Sun’s transit which moves through the gates, changing about every 5.7 days and through each line almost every day. I will also list the Earth Gates as this counterbalances and helps us find pathways to ground as we explore the wisdom of the Sun Gate.

If you have the gate defined (colored in) in your chart (check your body graph here) then you may feel more influenced by the transit but as with all of openness we can often amplify energies in the places we are undefined.

**You can also pay attention to when the Gate we are transiting through is is on the opposite end of one of your defined hanging gates which would activate the full channel for you and potentially a center or two that you do not normally have defined. This may be a time when you can more fully play in that energy.

We all have the opportunity to get the flavor of what it’s like to be in that gate’s energy when the sun is moving through. It can obviously vary as to how much you’re affected. But they can be great guide posts to check in with and have awareness around. This is also an opportunity to explore as each year we move through all of the gates ie; archetypes of humanity. Read each line and notice which nuanced expression of the archetype most resonates or calls to you right now.

WEEKLY FOCUS

I have been expanding the wisdom of all of these gates to include the lines, more contemplation, affirmations + practices for exploring and integrating these energies. You can find all of the Gates HERE. The SUN + EARTH transits account for around 70% of the felt energy we are moving through.

JULY 31ST - AUGUST 5TH :: SUN GATE 33
Earth Gate (to balance + ground the energy as you explore the Sun’s Gifts) :: GATE 19

AUGUST 6TH - 11TH :: SUN GATE 7
Earth Gate (to balance + ground the energy as you explore the Sun’s Gifts) :: GATE 13

AUGUST 12TH - 17TH :: SUN GATE 4
Earth Gate (to balance + ground the energy as you explore the Sun’s Gifts) :: GATE 49

AUGUST 18TH - 23RD :: SUN GATE 29
Earth Gate (to balance + ground the energy as you explore the Sun’s Gifts) :: GATE 30

AUGUST 24TH - 29TH :: SUN GATE 59
Earth Gate (to balance + ground the energy as you explore the Sun’s Gifts) :: GATE 55

AUGUST 30TH - SEPTEMBER 3RD :: SUN GATE 40
Earth Gate (to balance + ground the energy as you explore the Sun’s Gifts) :: GATE 37

To get more nuanced + personal you may want to follow your own MOON activations, pay attention to what Sign the Moon is moving through each day (especially if the Moon is your Time Lord, or you are a Reflector) or follow your Time Lord for the year based on your annual profection.
