Moodboard: The Paper Curator
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.

T H E N O D E S
The Nodes will change its axis at the beginning of 2025. 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 Virgo 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.
You might also look to what Gates ruled by Virgo you have defined in your Conscious Definition. Find the Gates by Sign here.
Look to the House that Pisces 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 what Gates ruled by Pisces you have defined in your Conscious Definition. Find the Gates by Sign here.
When the transiting Nodes activate the topics of a House, we may find that we feel unsettled in these areas in some way, like things are feeling stirred up. Bring mindfulness. This axis is about finding balance between the tangible and intangible, the practical and the spiritual. This is an axis of healing, of purification. It is a pull toward Jupiter vibes, toward faith, toward understanding… why you believe what you believe and why you do the things that you do. It is a move from mundane to mystical and from trying to ‘figure it out’ to walking in trust and faith.
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.
Helpful hack. Next time you visit mybodygraph on your phone. Take a snapshot of your body graph to save to your photos so you can easily reference it whenever you like.
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.

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.
