Your Frequency Forecast for July 1-6, 2025, as the Sun transits Gate 39, plus more from the cosmos and how to navigate these energies
The week ahead gives a bite to our bark, but calls on us to make sure we’re getting plenty of alone time to recuperate.
Here’s what the planets are up to and how they may be influencing us.
Awakening the Spirit, with a Jab
The Sun transits Gate 39, July 1-6, 2025
The Sun continues to activate our Root Center this week as it shines upon us with rays of Gate 39, the Provocateur, a.k.a. Obstruction.
This is the spike of energy that has the power to awaken the spirit in others —
or to have our spirit awakened by them —
so that we are forced to face some hard truths, find deeper meaning in life, and reach greater understanding.
That is, if we can reach the high vibrations of the Provocateur.
But take it from me — today’s my birthday, Gate 39 is my Conscious Sun, thus the most prominent trait of my personality — wielding this sucker in the highest expression is no easy task.
I’m still learning. Every day is a work in progress.
Grab your free Human Design chart to find out whether you also have this one activated in your body at all times. (You’ll see that 39 lit up as indicated on the image below.)
If so, you’ll be familiar with this nuances of this energy, and your job is to work on using it in its highest vibration as time goes by.
If you don’t have 39 lit up on your chart, give it a spin this week, see what it feels like, use this as your chance to build empathy and understanding for the folks (like me!) who do have this energy coursing through their veins.
And just remember that the Sun is influencing all of humanity with this vibe through July 6th. So watch it unfold around you, in your home and in the news all week.
Most of the time, when we’re not aware of the power of the Gate of Provocation, and we don’t know what the whole point of its mechanical flow is, this energy has us simply laughing at people, right to their face, and maybe even pointing at them in amusement while we do.
Or we’ll impulsively screw up our faces in response to someone’s birdbrained idea and blurting, “Why the fuck would you that?! How stupid…”
Yeah, 39 can be insensitive.
39 jabs, it pokes, it doesn’t necessarily think about the ramifications or other people’s feelings before it lashes out — even if it’s only doing so playfully — and sometimes it causes hurt.
The pushback in response to these outbursts can then cause enormous amounts of self-shame, regret, embarrassment and self-loathing.
When used in the low-vibe way, it can get us kicked out of friend groups. Uninvited to parties. People avoid us and reject us.
So, we gotta learn to master this sonofagun in the high vibe, and wield it with grace.
Thus, my hopes for humanity to use 39 for the highest good this week, as we’re all being influenced by this energy, aren’t particularly optimistic.
Except that…maybe we can make some good trouble this week?
Because Gate 39 can also be downright hilarious.
It can be loads of fun to be around, suddenly dropping outrageous one-liners no one else would dare to say, causing people to spit their milk out because they’re laughing so hard.
The Provocateur also kind of reminds me of that famous scene in “A Few Good Men,” where Tom Cruise’s JAG character yells at Jack Nicholson’s character on the witness stand, “I want the truth!” and Nicholson responds, “You can’t handle the truth!”
Jack Nicholson knows that if he were to say what was really going on behind the scenes, everyone would lose their shit.
For a lot of folks, the truth really is hard to handle.
But, one way or another, Gate 39 is gonna call it out.
So, while this could become a rather uncomfortable week for folks,
where people will get called out for their B.S.,
it might just be the kind of chutzpah energy we desperately need right now to start calling balls and strikes on those who’ve been lying for too long.
Where deniers and fakers will get put on the hotseat. Where anyone who’s been walking around hiding their imposter syndrome is about to exposed.
Keep your eyes and ears out — and protect yourself against — insults, zingers, rude awakenings, and provocational stances,
coming toward you and maybe even from you.
A few other notable side effects of this energy are:
- the impulse to binge-eat (emotional eating is a whole thing for us Gate 39’s)
- low-back pain and/or tension in the hips (due to bottling up this energy, and because 39 is part of the Incarnation Cross of Tension, thus it raises tension wherever it goes…)
- indecisiveness (who the hell knows why, it just comes with 39 territory)
- depression (when we don’t let this energy get processed out in healthy ways)
The thing about Gate 39 is that it doesn’t mean to be a rude, offensive asshole.
It helps to understand this from a mechanical standpoint.
Provocation/Obstruction, being a Root Center Gate, receives a spike, or pulse, of Earthen energy telling it that “Now” is “Go-Time” whenever it detects someone’s not being honest with themselves or is doing something to deny their real feelings.
So it launches into action, and out comes a zinger.
(Whether we realize this dynamic is taking place consciously or not is another matter altogether, and it’s one worth exploring to do some hella deconditioning around.)
When 39 kicks into gear and bursts forth; it does so to evoke a response out of someone.
It just wants to get a reaction out whoever it’s hanging out with.
39 feels super satisfied whenever it gets a rise out of someone.
See, in the image above, how it’s reaching out toward Gate 55?
If you’ll recall, 55 is the Gate of Abundance, a.k.a. the Abundance of Spirit, which sits in the Emotional Solar Plexus.
So 39 is always reaching out toward the emotional spirit.
When 39 and 55 connect, they form the Channel of Emoting, which is equated with known as the most emotionally volatile energy in the chart — not that that’s a bad thing.
In fact, we’d all do ourselves a service, says the wisdom of the Channel of Emoting, if we’d get more in touch with our emotional spirit.
Let it all hang out!
Stop forcing our emotions to behave.
Stop pretending like we’re not bothered, sad, ecstatic, aggrieved, angry, elated.
Show me your spirit, says 39!
Change, empowerment, awakening the spirit and achieving self-awareness sometimes requires a sharp zap, that’s all!
Some examples of what 39 looks like in the mundane:
The toddler with Gate 39 who’s close to melting down at the grocery store will cry louder when a stranger walks past, so as to put on a show that would garner more sympathy.
The grown adult with Gate 39 might heckle a lousy comedian, or play devil’s advocate during a work meeting, picking apart the boss’s strategy just for the sake of being an obstructionist.
Speaking from firsthand experience, every single post I write here is meant to wake you up to something you haven’t thought about before. To jolt your spirit to new understanding.
Is it working?
39 is contrarian. Nonconformist. And eager to say the unpopular thing.
And yeah, sometimes it gets itself into trouble.
Greta Thunberg has 39 activated in her chart. So does Billie Eilish. Kevin Hart. Elon Musk. Lady Gaga. And Will Ferrell, too.
Gate 39 people want to shake us out of our state of numbness.
To stop bleating like a bunch of sheep.
To show we’re not automatons,
and prove that we’re alive enough to feel something…anything!
This ought to be one heck of a week.
Stay Grounded in the Search for Meaning
The Earth now transits Gate 38, the Gate of the Fighter
Now through July 6, 2025: While the Sun shines rays of Provocation upon us, you can find stability in the energy of fighting for what’s right.
38 seeks to stand up for the little guy. It has the courage do come out swingin’ on behalf of a just cause.
This isn’t necessarily about putting up fistacuffs, although seeing what ICE is doing, that might be justifiable.
But 38 is rather about being an activist; fighting for meaning, standing strong in your sense of purpose, having the guts to fight in the right struggle.
Keep this energy in mind when you’re spinning out this week. It’ll help keep you anchored.
Pro Tip:
With 38 and 39 in such prominent positions this week, get exercise, preferably of the pushing or pressing kind.
Do planks. Burpees. Pushups. Jump on a trampoline. Anything that has you expressing your tension against a hard surface. This is a healthy way to process-out these heavy, Root-Centered energies.
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!
The Voice of the People & Stories of Heartache
Mercury transits Gate 31, the Gate of Influence
Now through July 3, 2025: Mercury transits Gate 31, the Gate of Influence, and its effects are obvious.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse comes to mind as a prime example: likeable, unassuming, democratically elected, he’s been particularly outspoken on the Senate floor these past couple of days, demonstrating his ability to use the power of his voice and his position of leadership to speak on behalf of his people.
Mercury, the planet of communication, has been giving us all this power the last few days.
Mercury transits Gate 33, the Gate of Privacy/Retreat
July 3-9: But that shifts, come July 3rd, when Mercury moves into Gate 33, the Gate of Privacy/Retreat, which is a much more contemplative, deep-feeling energy.
Though still a Throat-activated Gate, 33 is one that listens — deeply — taking in all the painful stories swirling across the ether, and remembering them to share later.
33 needs to retreat to privacy to hold the gut-wrenching stuff it hears about humanity right there in its heart, so it can process that suffering, try to make sense of it, extract any lessons from those stories it hears, and recall them later when someone needs to be reminded of how we overcame this similar kind of suffering in the past.
So I’m hoping to hear more revelations coming out soon — people sharing their recollections of times gone by, reminding us not to repeat the mistakes of our forebears.
Maybe more veterans will get on the mic this week. Or folks who survived concentration camps will step out of the shadows to remind us of the horrors they lived through. Maybe some Civil Rights activists will help us organize by sharing the lessons they learned in the 1960s, since we can’t seem to get a solid resistance movement coordinated.
Or maybe we’ll just hear a lot of news about prominent figures suddenly taking time off; disappearing from the headlines to ‘spend time with family.’
Who knows…it’ll be interesting.
There’s Beauty in Your Authenticity
Venus transits Gate 8, the Gate of Contribution
Now through July 4, 2025: We’ll see greater value and beauty in each person’s individual contributions, because Venus is hanging out in the Gate of Contribution. Most notably, this energy says our greatest contribution — the way we really leave a legacy of goodness behind — is by showing up as our most authentic selves.
In Service of Others
Mars transits Gate 40, the Gate of Sexuality
Now through July 7: Look for signs of aggression and/or passion when it comes to people’s drive to work hard to support our loved ones.
Mars, which rules our passions, our aggressions and, yes, war, is transiting Gate 40, the Gate of Aloneness, a.k.a. Deliverance:
Ego-centered energy that says, “I, alone, am responsible for keeping my people alive.”
This brings us tremendous feelings of responsibility this week, plus the conviction to provide for those who depend on us.
Soften these feelings by ensuring you get some much needed self-care time.
This transit really drives home the need for solitude, working in tandem with Mercury’s transit in 33, the Gate of Privacy/Retreat.
Get your alone time. Be kind to yourself.
Expansion through Stillness
Jupiter transits Gate 52, the Gate of Stillness
Now through July 21, 2025: I made a TikTok last week about Jupiter’s transit out of Gate 15, Extremes, and into Gate 52, Stillness.
Check it out below.
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!
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!
Thanks, as always, for reading, friends.
