Waiting for the Pulse to Take Action

The Frequency Forecast for June 25-June 30, 2025

The week ahead brings us a kind of heaviness and slowness tinged with some simplistic joy, empathy, Big Feelings and, with any luck, unconditional love.

Plus, we’re asking how much farther we need to be stretched before we finally hit our breaking point.

Here’s what the planets are up to and how they may be influencing us.

As always, you don’t have to succumb to these energetic influences if you know how you are uniquely hardwired to walk through the world and you’re standing strong in your authenticity.

If the Gates I cover in this update aren’t illuminated in your Human Design chart, then they’re not your cross to bear and they’re not your lesson to learn.

Simply observe, notice and allow yourself to build empathy as you learn how other people, who do have these energies activated in them at all times, are built to move through the world.


Now We Wait

The Sun transits Gate 52, June 25-June 30, 2025

The Sun now activates our Root Center, empowering us with the gift of Stillness — that is, if we can reach the high vibrations of this beautiful energy.

Overnight, the Sun began its transit into Gate 52, the Gate of Stillness, a.k.a., The Mountain, also often referred to as The Buddha Gate.

This energy might just bring us a much-needed break from the whirlwind cycle of Extreme-ness we’ve all been experiencing. (That last Sun transit through Gate 15 was a doozy, eh?)

Why?

Because Gate 52 is pressurized energy for being Still,

for waiting — unperturbed — through whatever chaotic or tumultuous situation arises,

and for having the capacity to concentrate.

This is the energy that can help us go Zen as the world crumbles around us, if we play our cards right.

Check out where it lives in the body, as shown in the diagram above.

And grab your free Human Design chart to find out whether you have this one activated in your body at all times. (You’ll see that 52 lit up as indicated on the image.)

If so, you’ll be familiar with this energy and you’re here to reach toward its highest vibration. If you don’t have this lit up on your chart, watch it unfold around you, in your home and on the news all week.

Just observe and build empathy as you learn what it feels like and notice its influence pulling you to the ground through June 30th.

Gate 52 is the frequency that puts our asses in the chair.

It anchors us deep into the Earth,

so that we can actually be Still enough to Focus on some detail-oriented task.

(Gate 52 forms a full Channel with Gate 9, the Gate of Focus. Together, they create the Channel of Concentration.)

52 provides the patience and steadiness that’s required to contemplate a dizzying world in disarray.

And, right now, we’ve sure got a lot of details to sort through.

The next six days might give us an opportunity to stop for long enough to find out:

Who’s hiding beneath those masks?

What are their license plate numbers?

What did that election data actually show?

Show us those histograms again, please.

How deep do Stephen Miller’s ties to Palantir actually go?

What else is in those Epstein files that we haven’t seen yet?

“Never mistake motion for action.”

—Ernest Hemingway

As another one of our Root Center frequencies, all of which are under pressure, this one is passive rather than active.

But make no mistake: Gate 52 is still pure power.

It’s just the kind of power that comes from not moving.

Tom Petty’s song, “I Won’t Back Down,” comes to mind.

So does one of my former preschool students who would play only with the wooden train set during our free-play time each day, and when it was time to rotate to the next activity he would announce, unequivocally, “I’m not moving.”

Yet from somewhere deep within the steady, rooted, weighed-down Stillness of Gate 52, people with this energy know precisely when it’s time to get up and go.

And that, they do.

A pulse, or a spike, of energy ignites, telling them that NOW is the moment to get off their butt and start moving.

Because whatever needs to happen now, they’re ready to do because they’ve rested and contemplated.

They’ve saved their energy. They’ve focused. They’ve allowed themselves to just regroup for a sec or two.

Gate 52, when it’s healthy, has us taking action according to our body’s own timing.

Not according to the clock or any calendar.

In other words, we move when we feel ready to move. And not a moment before.

We can do this as long as we haven’t been conditioned into believing that being Still is somehow problematic.

Unfortunately, our culture loves to shame Stillness.

This fast-moving world has a highly dysfunctional relationship with waiting.

Delayed gratification is out the window.

We’re conditioned to respond to people when they need an answer from us (like yesterday!); not when we feel adequately ready to.

I have this Gate and I was routinely called lazy and a couch potato when I was growing up. Yes, I developed a complex about it. Yes, I have a really hard time relaxing these days. I always feel like sitting down and resting will get me in trouble.

Sure, it might look like the 52’s of the world are being lazy, to the frenetic individuals who don’t know how to rest.

But in actuality, when we’re loafing on the couch, we’re just waiting for our body’s inner pulse to strike — from deep inside the earth and zaps us in our butts — telling us it’s time to launch into action.

Some low-vibe, misaligned, shadowy ways Gate 52 can show up are:

  • a total inability to relax
  • impatience
  • uncomfortable with silence
  • avoidance of Stillness; i.e., the belief that if you stop moving, everything will fall apart, nothing will ever get done, and you’ll run out of time
  • you’re so consumed with keeping busy with minutiae that when the pulse strikes to tell you it’s Go Time, you miss it or you ignore it, so you pour your energy into a bunch of unimportant tasks rather than focusing on that one really important thing
  • burnout

Additionally, a low-vibe 52 can also dig in their heels, refuse to participate when it would actually bring them joy to do so, and yeah, they can become a real couch potato who doesn’t acknowledge their body’s inner need to take action.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, take this week to detox from hustle culture and de-condition from any of the B.S. stories you may have been told about being a lazy P.O.S.

Tune into your unique body’s rhythms and let your Root Center breathe.

And honor your need for rest.

Now is the perfect time to take a vacation. If only…

The high-vibe expression of Gate 52 is someone who’s calm, grounded, unflappable, and comfortable with silence.

An aligned 52 is someone who’s mastered the art of waiting.

No action is required at this time, is the vibe they give off.

They don’t flinch at chaos.

This can make them a great shoulder to cry on, a very wise friend, and a good listener whose mere presence brings comfort and stability to others.

I’m really hoping the news cycle takes a beat so we can all catch a breath. If it doesn’t, be the Buddha.

Sit rock-still like a mountain.

And, for the love of all things, let yourself rest.


Stay Grounded in Joy

The Earth now transits Gate 58, the Gate of Joy

Now through June 30, 2025: While the Sun shines rays of Stillness upon us, grounding into the energy of joy will keep you anchored, especially when your thoughts are spinning out.

The Earth’s transit through Gate 58, the Gate of Joy, also activates our Root Center. This is more pressurized energy; specifically for seeking joyous experiences for the purpose of living a better life.

58 just wants us to have more fun. To giggle. To dance barefoot in a meadow of flowers.

So take this week to touch grass. Listen to birdsong. Snuggle a puppy. Play a game with your kids. Watch a lighthearted movie. Take delight in the simple joy of witnessing a rainbow as it forms off the spray of your neighbor’s sprinkler.

Just be on an intentional search for cheerfulness, and make an effort to spread it throughout the coming week. This’ll help you stay tethered to terra firma.


Lethargy vs. Obstruction

New Moon in Gate 52, the Gate of Stillness

We rose this morning to a New Moon in Gate 52, the Gate of Stillness, which clings tightly to the Sun. But Luna will complete its transit through all six Lines of Gate 52 by 3 p.m. EST, and then shift into Gate 39, the Gate of Provocation/Obstruction.

Don’t be surprised if you feel dead-tired until later this afternoon. Notice whether you perk up and get more playful by dinnertime, when the Moon has us poking the bear and breaking down barriers in Gate 39, just to get a rise out of someone.


Express Emotional Maturity

The North Node transits Gate 22, the Gate of Grace

Now through November 2, 2025: The North Node, that thing we’re working toward embodying, as a collective, to reach its highest potential, transits Gate 22, the Gate of Grace, activating our Emotional Solar Plexus.

From today through July 7, it works its way through the 5th Line of Grace, which is all about showing your true emotionality even when it wouldn’t be considered acceptable to do so. Only, in the high frequency of 22.5, our Big Feelings have a way of transforming the collective consciousness.

A big ugly cry is an appropriate emotional response to what’s going on in the world. Laughing is cruel.

Mothers wailing as their babies get ripped from their arms by gun-toting, masked militiamen who failed the police academy test is a rational response.

It is this kind of expression of raw, unedited, unscripted emotionality that can change public perception, reclaim the narrative and cause people to awaken so that they finally become empathetic.

Most of us already know that if your heart isn’t absolutely shattered right now, there’s something wrong with you.

The North Node reminds us to practice showing our emotions, just not violently or cruelly.


You Cannot Think Your Way Out of This

The South Node transits Gate 47, the Gate of Realization

Now through November 2, 2025: The South Node, that thing we are, collectively, trying to move past and let go of, which we’ve maybe already mastered, sits in Gate 47, the Gate of Realization, also known as the Gate of Oppression. As in, when we let our minds think too hard? Our thoughts become oppressive. We oppress ourselves.

This transit in 47 activates our Ajna, or our Mind.

More specifically, right now, the South Node is making its way through the 5th Line of 47, and it’ll be there through July 7th before it moves on to 47.4 and so on, working backwards through the six Lines.

This 5th Line frequency we’re under the influence of now is about having mental power to maintain harmony with whatever forces are oppressing you so that you can be a source of calm and comfort to those who are suffering.

But we’re trying to move past that, says the South Node. We’ve been there and done that. We’ve relied on our mental power for eons to maintain harmony with the forces of oppression.

And hot damn, we’ve done a really good job.

We’ve been logical. We’ve been rational. We’ve been dignified. We’ve thought long and hard. We’ve followed the rules of decorum.

It worked, for a while…

(I’m looking at you, Democratic establishment.)

(And I’m shooting daggers when I stare you down, Republicans.)

And in the process, we’ve made a lot of Realizations. Sure.

But as we sift and sort through this transit, we begin to realize that the time for decorum, logical thinking, and relying on the rational mind is o-v-e-r.

Go back to what the North Node is doing and remember what we’re supposed to be working toward: Gate 22.

Emotionality. There is nothing rational or logical about our emotions. We just gotta feel what we’re feeling, and let that be okay.

So stop overthinking everything.

And start showing your goddamn emotions, Dems! Feel something. Anything! Show us you’re outraged! Show us you’re not robots, Repubs!


Click Bait

Mercury transits Gate 56, the Gate of Stimulation/the Wanderer/Storyteller

Now through June 28, 2025: Expect to see enticing headlines and listen for a spike in amusing stories that could fill the airwaves this week, as Mercury, the planet of communication, makes its way through the Stimulation-seeking Gate 56.

This transit activates our Throat Center. So enjoy the energy for yap-yap-yapping.

Almost everyone I know who has Gate 56 is a performer of some kind. An actor, public speaker, rapper, or at the very least, a teacher. These are charismatic people who love to put on a show, be the center of attention, and entertain a crowd. But they also love consuming entertainment, because they’re super good at digesting a story and re-enacting it later. They know what lights up a room, keeps folks engaged, and so they put on all the funny accents and recite with fervor to keep us tuned in.

So I anticipate showmanship. I also would caution us all to not believe everything we hear through this transit. Because a lot of what comes out will, very possibly, be meant for entertainment purposes only.


There’s Beauty in the Breakdown

Venus transits Gate 23, the Gate of Assimilation

Now through July 29, 2025: For the next week, we’ll see greater value in the art of simplicity.

Venus influences our values and what we see as beauty. As it transits Gate 23, activating our Throat Center, we will be fueled with the energy for breaking down complex subjects into easily understandable parts that we can explain to people so they get it.

I’ll be on the lookout for more newsletters, social posts, tutorials and infographics explaining things in terms I finally understand.

If you’re like me, you’re probably loving the example of Bernie Sanders’ latest post that quickly, pointedly summarizes how much Jeff Bezos paid for his wedding versus how much he pays in taxes.

Or the meme going around the internet that shows a sign outside of a church that says, “If your version of Christianity wants to put the 10 Commandments in schools but take free lunches out of them, you are worshipping something other than Jesus.”

Maybe you also caught the Election Truth Alliance’s latest post which breaks down their mind-bogglingly complex methods of voter data analysis in a way that finally makes sense to the average person.

These are all great examples of what can happen during a Venus in Gate 23 transit.

Keep simplifying the overly complicated.

Pull out the most important bits that will help others see the light.


Rip Through Barriers, Establish Healthy Partnerships

Mars transits Gate 59, the Gate of Sexuality

Now through June 27: Look for signs of aggression and/or passion when it comes to whether and with whom we establish partnerships.

Mars, which rules our passions, our aggressions and, yes, war, is transiting one already-aggressive energy, Gate 59. This Sacral-activating energy is pure penetration:

Both literally and figuratively, it’s the drive to break through barriers, plant seeds, fertilize eggs and solidify relationships.

During this transit, mutually-beneficial unions can be established. Fruitful relationships could blossom.

However, once-thriving partnerships could break up or break down.

Obviously, war isn’t off the table.

For a few more days, we’ll continue to be passionate about busting through walls — cement ones, wooden ones, locked ones, but most especially, emotional ones.


Expand Your Capacity for Empathy

Jupiter transits Gate 15, the Gate of Extremes

Now through July 26: Jupiter transits the Gate of Extremes, activating our G-Center, in the 6th Line.

This energy gives us the opportunity to go all the way to the farthest, most Extreme, reaches of humanity to locate the origin of our weakness and uncover the root cause of all the harm.

This process is painful AF. But Jupiter has a lesson for us.

This is like stretching a rubber band as far as it will go before it snaps. When it does, Boom!, you’ve found its weak point.

That’s what Jupiter is doing to us now as it moves through 15.6. It really feels like we’re about to hit our breaking point either way.

How much is too much? It’s up to us to determine.

We have the power to walk through each day of the remainder of this transit with high-vibe intentions:

showing empathy, acceptance and tolerance for the many vast ways people choose to live their lives, just like a high-vibe Gate 15 fuels us to do.

In response, Jupiter will expand our empathy and tolerance, allowing us to (potentially) mend the weakness underlying our dysfunction so that we can finally fix the problems we’ve uncovered.

Or, we can go there from a low-vibe frequency:

with rigidity, hatred for others, exclusion, and intolerance for the varied ways people live. And guess what? Jupiter will only expand that, weakening what’s already rotted at the core and potentially broadening the harm.

I’d say that, as a species, we have a critical choice to make at this juncture because it’ll determine our future for decades to come. Let’s all make the choice to finish off this transit on July 27 with empathy and tolerance for all the different ways people might want to live in this world.


Is Your Spirit Really Free?

Saturn transits Gate 25, the Gate of Innocence/Spirit of the Self

Now-September 2025: With Saturn transiting the 4th Line of Gate 25 (25.4, specifically, our G-Centers are further activated at this time.

Saturn is the planet of structure. It’s a teacher and sometimes a disciplinarian.

Gate 25, meanwhile, is Pisces/Aries cusp energy.

So, all throughout the summer of 2025, we’re being disciplined, kept in line and being forced to grow up through a barrage of shocking experiences that test our ability to maintain our sense of childlike wonder and love for all beings.

Embrace Christ Consciousness! Practice lovingkindness!

Read the deep dive I posted yesterday on what’s going on as Saturn and Neptune both transit Gate 25 right now.


Be the Change You Wish to See

Uranus transits Gate 8, the Gate of Contribution

Now through July 10, 2025: With Uranus, the planet that rules revolution and change, now transiting the sixth and final Line of Gate 8 (8.6), our Throat Center is further activated and we’re being given an opportunity to master the art of right timing as far as when to make our unique contribution.

When do we step into the limelight, express our authentic truth and share our special gift(s) to contribute to the change that’s happening under our feet?

Uranus is influencing us to grapple with that and determine for ourselves.

Gate 8.6 is about leadership. This is that 6th Line Role Model archetype in all its glory. We’re each being driven by this faraway planet to owning our power, because it’s asking us what legacy we’re going to leave behind.

Our revolution succeeds when we’re willing to contribute what only we, uniquely, can give to the greater cause.

We know the tides have turned, that communities are struggling, and that the old way no longer works.

But according to Gate 8, change begins with the individual. Have the guts to be your true self and share your unique gifts at the precisely-correct moment? Others will see that they, too, have the power to be the change they wish to see in the world. And, together, you’ll make history.


Healing from the Past is an Inside Job

Neptune transits Gate 25, the Gate of Innocence/Spirit of the Self

Now – May 2026: Like Saturn, Neptune also transits Gate 25, but it’s in the 5th Line right now (25.5), which deals specifically with spiritual healing.

The spirit world, our ancestors and our guides want us to maintain our sense of awe and childlike wonder and our love for all beings despite the barrage of shocking experiences we’re undergoing.

Easier said than done, right?

In order to get there, says Neptune, the planet that rules dreams, the subconscious, our illusions and imagination, we need to wade through the fog of our shadow selves.

This transit offers us a chance to recognize that we need to heal the past before we can move into the future.

Read the deep dive I posted yesterday on Saturn and Neptune both transiting Gate 25 right now.


Digging Deeper to Find Buried Treasure

Pluto transits Gate 41, the Gate of Decrease/Contraction, in Retrograde

Now – August 20, 2025: Under the influence of Pluto, the planet that rules the underworld, death, birth and transformation, transiting Gate 41, the Gate of Decrease, our Root Center is activated yet again.

We continue to dig deep into the underworld for all the little shiny gems and more proverbial termite infestations or other rotting structural damage that’s been buried deep in our soil.

Who knows what details we’ll uncover — they just keep coming…

The Epstein files, election manipulation, hidden military plans, whistleblower secrets…

There’s more to be revealed…

While we’re down here, crouching, squatting, scratching around in the darkness and searching for the gems, we’re also actually readying ourselves for Pluto to station direct on October 13th of this year.

By the time it does, our quads will be hella strong, we’ll have finally unearthed all the ugly truths (and maybe beautiful ones) that have been long buried, we’ll have shown them to the world, and we will be ready to take our next steps to resolve what needs to be fixed.

Andplusalso, we’ll be poised to jump crazy high.

Not so fast. Don’t get too excited yet to take that big leap: Pluto retrogrades through Gate 60 after it leaves 41 at the end of August.

It’ll transit all six Lines of Gate 60, the Gate of Acceptance/Limitations, all through September and into early October before it finally does an about-face to head forward again.

I hope to Gawd by then we’ll finally be out of this nightmarish hellscape.


Stay strong, stay grounded, stay authentic, and let yourself rest!
