Demystifying the Human Design Incarnation Cross
Friday Aug 15, 2025
Friday Aug 15, 2025
This episode cuts through the mystique around the Human Design Incarnation Cross — the life theme you’ve been living all along, whether you’ve named it or not.
With roots in your conscious and unconscious Sun/Earth gates, the Cross isn’t a cosmic job title or a prescriptive “purpose.” It’s the background frequency of your design — and the way it expresses depends on your Type, Profile, and the Quarter you’re in.
We’ll break down what Ra actually said about it, why generic descriptions often miss the mark, and how your astrology Sun sign and Personality Sun gate speak the same truth in different languages. You’ll also hear how two people with the same Cross — my RAX Service 1 and a friend’s RAX Service 2 — can live it in completely different ways.
Because this isn’t about “becoming” your Cross — it’s about recognizing the theme that’s already in motion and learning to work with it, without forcing it into a script it was never meant to follow.

Full Moon in Aquarius: What Cannot be Unseen
Friday Aug 08, 2025
Friday Aug 08, 2025
This episode dives into the August 9th Full Moon in Aquarius — a lunation that exposes the truth you’ve been circling but not touching.
With the Sun in Gate 7 and the Moon in Gate 13, the spotlight is on leadership rooted in authenticity and the stories that shape (or limit) you. Pluto’s influence makes these truths impossible to ignore, while Mars in Libra opposes the Saturn–Neptune retrograde in Aries, pushing you to choose between harmony that costs you and action that frees you.
We’ll explore the astrological currents, Human Design insights, and practical steps for working with your profile line so you can stop orbiting your truth and let it land.
Because this isn’t just a full moon — it’s a turning point in who you’re willing to be when the performance ends.

August's Energy Mix: What You Can't Unsee
Friday Aug 01, 2025
Friday Aug 01, 2025
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.

Our Time is Finite: Entering a New Era of Influence
Friday Jul 25, 2025
Friday Jul 25, 2025
In this episode, we explore the deeper frequency beneath Gate 31’s leadership — the shadow of control, the ache of invisibility, and the quiet revolution of influence built not on volume, but resonance.
With the Leo New Moon still stirring heart fire and Saturn + Neptune in Aries reworking identity, voice, and power, this moment asks more than just what you're saying — it asks why.
We dive into:
Why Gate 31 isn’t about claiming leadership, but becoming someone worth following
How influence without offering becomes performance — and what real offering actually is
The role of paradox, power dynamics, and the sacred movement of the mind in this next era
What to do when things aren’t going well — and you still feel called to lead
This is about using your voice while you still have it — not to prove, but to participate.Not performance. Presence.Not noise. Truth.
Because if time is finite… what are you offering back?

Craving Change? Just Don’t Confuse Chaos with Clarity
Friday Jul 11, 2025
Friday Jul 11, 2025
In this episode, we explore the deeper current beneath Gate 53’s pressure to begin, the shadow of immaturity, and what conscious commitment actually looks like when you’ve been shedding, integrating, and re-learning what resonance even feels like.
With Uranus freshly in Gemini and Mercury in its retrograde shadow, your mind may be buzzing—but that doesn’t mean it’s telling the truth.
We dive into:
The Root pressure behind Gate 53 and why it’s not about starting—it’s about staying
How Uranus in Gemini invites a 7-year reinvention of meaning, voice, and thought & how to work with that energy
A reminder that some things aren’t meant to grow until you stop forcing the season
This is about beginning only what’s ready to become. Not reaction. Resonance.

July's Energy Mix: Discernment. Resonance. Innovation
Friday Jul 04, 2025
Friday Jul 04, 2025
This isn’t about managing the pressure.It’s about asking what it’s protecting—and what it’s preventing.
In this episode of The Frequency Labyrinth, we explore July’s energetic terrain through Gate 39’s provocation, Gate 31’s leadership, and the multi-layered impact of Uranus in Gemini and a Mercury retrograde that wants more honesty, not more content.
From nervous system tension to power dynamics that no longer resonate, we unravel how July invites you to disrupt what’s performative, speak what’s true, and reclaim what’s real.
We dive into:
The Root + Throat pressure pattern that could hijack your clarity
Gate 39’s shadow and how discomfort becomes the doorway to liberation
Gate 31’s call to lead from resonance—not reputation
Saturn + Neptune retrograde as truth-telling tools, not roadblocks
The deeper difference between control and power
This is about telling the truth your nervous system already knows.Not reaction. Realignment.Let resonance lead.

Pause or Be Paused: What Gate 52 Just Taught Me
Friday Jun 27, 2025
Friday Jun 27, 2025
I’ve been quiet the past couple weeks—literally. Life took my voice and handed me stillness. In this episode, I’m sharing what happens when life (and your body) forces a hard stop, and how Gate 52 isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about learning how to be with everything. We talk stress, restraint, and the kind of stillness that sharpens your focus instead of numbing you out. I share how this gate plays out in my own chart (spoiler: it’s my Gene Keys Purpose and one of my biggest initiations), and how this energy intersects with the world’s current state of urgency, pressure, and noise.

What Are You Feeding That Doesn’t Feed You Back?
Friday Jun 06, 2025
Friday Jun 06, 2025
This isn’t about chasing the next thing.It’s about noticing what’s still hungry—and asking why.
In this episode of The Frequency Labyrinth, we explore the shift from Gate 35 to Gate 45, and Jupiter’s transition into Cancer. From compulsive craving to sacred stewardship, we unravel how these energies invite you to stop performing growth and start living from presence.
We dive into:
The shadow of Hunger and the root of spiritual scarcity
Gate 45’s call to lead from integrity, not control
Jupiter in Cancer’s emotional expansion—and what it means for you based on your rising sign
This is about slowing down enough to feel what’s real.Not momentum. Nourishment.

June's Energy Mix: Nourishment is the New Momentum
Friday May 30, 2025
Friday May 30, 2025
This isn’t a month to power through.It’s a month to nourish what’s been quietly asking for your attention.
In this episode of The Frequency Labyrinth, we dive into the energetic map of June 2025—tracking Human Design Gates 16, 35, 45, 12, 15, and 52 alongside the Full Moon in Sagittarius, the Summer Solstice, and a deeply restorative New Moon in Cancer.
With Saturn in Aries pressing you to show up differently—and Jupiter entering Cancer opening the door to emotional healing and soul-deep expansion—you’re being asked to stop feeding the illusion of momentum and start nourishing the foundation beneath it.
We explore:
The shift from hunger to true devotion
How power, expression, and stillness are being rewritten this month
What it actually means to feel safe in your energy again
This isn’t surface-level anything.This is soul nourishment.

Presence Isn’t a Vibe—It’s the Frequency of Self-Trust
Friday May 23, 2025
Friday May 23, 2025
In this episode, we unravel the real reason mindset work often flatlines—and it’s not because your thoughts are broken. It’s because presence isn’t something you think your way into. It’s something you build the capacity to hold. We dive into the Sun’s transit through Human Design Gate 20, the Gate of Now, and why this energy cuts straight through the noise of performance and into the pulse of what’s real.
We also explore Saturn’s move into Aries and what it’s here to teach us about initiation, restraint, and embodied self-leadership. Saturn doesn’t want your hustle—it wants your integrity. And Gate 20? It’s not interested in your curated wisdom. It wants your truth, spoken in the moment, from the body, not the brand.
This is a transmission for the ones who are tired of bypassing in spiritual packaging. For those ready to stop optimizing and start inhabiting. If you’ve been craving something deeper than another mindset reframe, this episode will speak to the part of you that’s been whispering, “There’s got to be more than this.” Yep, there is. And it starts with remembering how to be here.
