The transits are wonderfully supportive to help you be the best you.

October 2025 Human Design Energy Report

October is bringing us some relief with a focus on settling into your inner work for your personal growth.  Despite the noise and chaos we may experience in this global upheaval, there is time this month to quiet the self and go inward. 

Outer Planets. The three outer planets – Uranus, Neptune and Pluto– are harmoniously aligned in what is the most consequential alignment in our lifetime.  This month, Uranus is in Gate 20, Neptune in Gate 25 and Pluto in Gate 60.

Gate 20 is the Gate of the Now and encourages us to remain present. Yes the present is filled with lots of unexpected, the theme of Uranus in Human Design. Still, we cannot remain in the past or we’ll be stuck and unable to grow, nor can we only focus on the future for we have no idea what it will bring. Only more unknown. How do you prepare for the unknown? By being present and doing the inner work for your own development. There’s lots of that energy for you this month.

Gate 25 is the Spirit of the Self encouraging us to remain in the innocence of Universal love. Despite how you may feel in the noisy divisiveness occurring around you, come to your true SELF, seeing these challenges as real opportunities for you. Accept what you cannot change and change what you can. That is you. Build a closer relationship wit your beliefs and values.

Pluto is Gate 60, the Gate of Acceptance  is about recognizing that everything is always going to change. Innovation is part of the human condition. It’s also coming to understand what needs to be kept and what needs to die so that something new, and better, can emerge. A fitting energy for Pluto.

What is important is to do your inner work which is the purpose of these reports so you can use Human design to help you withstand the stresses and chaos swirling around you.

Saturn is now in Gate 36 which is the gate of challenges of growth, crisis and turbulence and will be there for the remainder of the year.  We’ve had a few months to learn lessons to get us to our true beliefs and get centered to be our higher self. Know that the energy of Gate 36 is all about learning through change, learning how to handle emotional upheaval and finding clarity. 

It’s time to learn how to withstand the upheavals and divisiveness and come into your own. It’s figuring out what patterns you need to release to eliminate your self-sabotage so that you can move forward evolving into your best self. The Sun transits this month are wonderfully supportive to help you continue on this path.

Jupiter remains in Gate 62 all month. Jupiter is here to let us know not to fear these challenges but to focus on what new beginning this can mean for you. This month, Jupiter is asking you to get serious about your transformation. It’s not enough to just say it or want it. It’s necessary to do the work to make it happen. Gate 62 is about Details, coming to know what you’ll do, what you’ll leave behind to bring your growth alive. The Sun and Earth transits this month are wonderfully supportive to help you.

Sun and Earth Transits

October 1: Sun in Gate 18| Earth in Gate 17

This is the final day for these two gates so they are in line 6, the wisdom line. We begin the month with an energy of knowing what can be fixed and wanting to push it forward with Gate 18 Correction and Gate 17 Opinion. Here’s the thing though – while you may feel that urge to offer your opinion on how things can be fixed, your viewpoint may not be welcomed. It has to be invited in to make a difference. Focus on you – what needs to be fixed and don’t be afraid of it. 

October 2: Sun in Gate 48 | Earth in Gate21. 

Gate 48 is the Gate of Depth or Wisdom. It’s an energy of knowing how to move forward and you have what it takes within you. Explore your experience and knowledge which together create your wisdom. If you feel fear because you don’t know enough and so spend time overthinking things, this is an ideal time to explore why that is. 

Gate 21 brings an energy of wanting control and independence, especially materially. At the low expression, we micromanage, dominate, may be overly cautious and struggle to delegate to others. If these describe you, how can you become grounded in letting go of these needs? What actions can you take to come into balance?

October 8 Sun in Gate 57 | Earth in Gate 51

Gate 57 is the Gate of Intuitive Insight and Gate 51 is the Gate of Shock.  Gate 57 represents your deepest intuition that guides you towards survival and well-being. Explore how well you pay attention to your intuition. Do you trust it and yourself? How can you trust it more and let it be your guide? What do you need to do to befriend it?

Gate 51 is about testing yourself to be the best you. It’s an energy for growth, a catalyst and takes courage to initiate change. Shock yourself out of complacency. Push yourself to listen to your inner knowing and trust what comes out of this exploration.

October 14: Sun in Gate 32| Earth in Gate 42

Now that you did the work using the energies from the beginning of the month till now, it’s time to turn to building on this new awareness. Gate 32 is the Gate of Continuity, knowing what and who to value for long term success.  It’s time to value your SELF, your wisdom, your intuition, paying attention to what you need to for your success, however you define it. 

It also may mean understanding what needs to come to its natural ending. Gate 42 is the Gate of Increase and to grow or expand, some other things may need to come to a close. Your intuition will let you know. Use your Inner Authority to guide you in making these decisions.

October 20: Sun in Gate 50 | Earth in Gate 3. 

Gate 50 is the Gate of Values. It’s time to explore and confirm your values and beliefs, challenging those that don’t align to your highest self. You want to move forward focusing on what truly matters and leave the mess of other stuff behind.  If you’ve felt like you have to meet everyone else’s expectations, this is a time to explore why and release those limiting beliefs and patterns that keep you from focusing on you. When you know who and what you are, you can live authentically.

This may be difficult for you. Gate 3 is the Gate of Difficulty at the Beginning. Making change is hard but necessary to be grounded in your authenticity. Commit to those things you’ve learned thus far in the reflections this month and know, while there may be challenges as you move forward, they will be worth it.

October 25: Sun in Gate 28 | Earth in Gate 27

These two gates come at a perfect time. Gate 28 is the Gate of Struggle, an energy of taking risks to be able to live your purpose. Your purpose is to be the best, most authentic self you can be. Resisting the challenge to grow keeps you stuck. This month is all about evolving.

Gate 27 tells you to nurture yourself. This lovely Gate of Nourishing focuses outward on others but first asks that you make sure you are good for yourself. If you aren’t, then you’re not your best and can’t give your best to others. Be grounded in boundaries that keep you safe and with inner harmony. Explore how well you take care of yourself and identify what you can do to improve your commitment to your SELF.

October 31: Sun in Gate 44| Earth in Gate 24

As we end October and go into November, you are asked to explore those old patterns of behavior that have kept you stuck and release them, taking on the challenge of new ones that better serve you. Yes, as you change mistakes might get made but they are only opportunities to learn. Use your past experience, your wisdom from Gate 48, your values from Gate 50, self-care from Gate 27, your intuitive insight from Gate 57 to build on how to move forward.

Gate 24 encourages you to screen your thoughts and reflections from this past month and select those that can best serve YOU. Process your insights. This is the time for your mental journey to understand those profound breakthroughs you encountered this month.

The Big Picture: You are asked to spend some time this month reflecting on big individual issues, your inner growth. The best way to withstand this time is to go inward and to truly discover you. The authentic and aligned you. The world isn’t going to quiet down any time soon and there’s not much you can do to stop it. Knowing what you can do is paramount to surviving, and thriving. The way to do that is to do the inner work you need to.
