There's something magical happening right now that I couldn't wait to share with you.
As I was preparing for last week's episode, an unexpected thread emerged, weaving together ancient wisdom from different traditions that all point to this being a pivotal moment for transformation.
We just entered the Year of the Yin Wood Snake in the Chinese zodiac, and simultaneously in Human Design, we're moving through Gate 13 (the Listener) into Gate 49 (Revolution). This alignment isn't random - it's showing us exactly what we need right now.
The Snake zodiac sign is actually considered the most intuitive of all Chinese zodiac signs and is associated with the "medicine woman" archetype in many Eastern traditions - perfectly aligning with the Celtic goddess Brigid's healing aspects we discussed in the episode.
Think about a snake shedding its skin - it's not just changing its appearance, it's releasing what no longer serves its growth. This mirrors exactly what Gate 13 asks of us: to listen deeply to our own story and what needs to change.
The yin wood element this year brings a gentler, more flexible energy than last year's yang wood. Combined with the Celtic celebration of Imbolc (the midpoint between winter solstice and spring equinox), we're in a sacred pause, a time to:
Release old patterns that are constricting your growth
Listen to what your soul is truly asking for
Plant seeds of intention before spring's action
Trust in your natural timing and rhythm
This episode felt especially important to share because I see so many of us feeling pressure to have everything figured out for 2025 already. But nature, and Human Design, shows us there's divine timing to everything.
Remember: Your power isn't in forcing change - it's in aligning with your natural design and letting transformation flow through you.
P.S. What old "skin" are you ready to shed this season?
