“Friends, Romans, Countrymen; lend me your ears!” I don’t know why I feel the urge to begin not only this newsletter, but also every podcast with that introduction. It’s from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and it never makes sense to use, but I can’t help it, ok? I can’t help it!
This newsletter was something I had wanted to start last December, but I’ve been dragging my feet. Mostly, this is because I have some very outdated/unhelpful/lame narratives along the lines of, “I’m not a good writer” and “writing is hard” etc., etc. However, I’ve begun taking a Book 101 course with Micayla Jean (you can listen to her on my podcast here, or my episode on her podcast, Finding Wilder) and I’m working through my unhelpful writing blocks. Look at me go! It is my hope that at the beginning of each month, I’ll send out a newsletter that has some reflections on Human Design, some intuitive insights for the month (by HD energy type), a card pull for this collective, as well as updates/promotions and anything else! It is my sincere intention that this newsletter is helpful, informative and insightful. Thank you for letting me into your space, I promise I’ll be respectful of it.

Human Design Reflections Gate 55 | The Gate of Spirit |
|
|
An important part of this newsletter for me is deep-diving into one of the Human Design Gates. With whatever gate is highlighted in a month, note where that gate shows up in your chart (incarnation cross, Jupiter Gate, Mars Gate, you have the partner gate defined, etc.). If you’re unsure about where this Gate shows up in your chart, feel free to respond to this email and I’ll give you a quick insight. Also, remember that there is universal wisdom in all the gates, so even if this gate isn’t a biggie in your chart, it doesn’t mean there aren’t nuggets to take from understanding its acuity. |

Recently, I’ve done a number of readings where Gate 55 (Gate of Spirit) has a prevalent placement in a person’s chart. When I get a lot of back-to-back readings on a particular gate, it allows me the opportunity to really dive in on some of the nuances of that gate and the gifts, shadows, and wisdom that it encapsulates. The energy behind Gate 55 is that when things are good, the well of happiness within you literally spills over into anyone you’re with. People with this gate can sometimes feel as though when they are high on life, and they just want to share it with the entire world. We hear the adage over and over again that we should give from an overflowing cup - and that is the exact energy of Gate 55... |

Intuitive Card Pull
July 2024 |
|
|
One thing I was absolutely positive on for this newsletter was to incorporate a two-card pull for some intuitive guidance for this collective for the month of July. The deck I had to use was the Wild Unknown Spirit Animal Deck by Kim Krans. While I have other beautiful oracle decks, this is the one that I really understand like a conversation with an old friend. So, before we begin, please place your hand on your heart, close your eyes, take a deep breath and ask your intuition which card below is the right intuitive message for you in the month of July: |
|
|
| | Black Egg Speaking from an authentic voice, the Truth Ok, ok! I see you Black Egg. So, this deck is divided into five sections: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. This lovely little card is from the Spirit section of the deck, meaning that it is a bit of a "trump" card when pulled (much like pulling a major arcana in a Tarot deck). There is an energy to all spirit cards of awakening and transformation.
Not only are the cards from the spirit section very potent, but they are also each have a connection to one of the seven primary Chakras. In this case, the Black Egg is associated with the Throat Chakra.
When dealing with the Throat Chakra, we always want to ask ourselves, "where are we not speaking our truth?" Is there a conversation at work, with a friend or loved one that we know we need to have but keep finding reasons not to? Do we have some blockages around speaking our Truth? Are we afraid of ridicule, blame or shame if we speak authentically? Remember, the Truth is available to us at any moment through our intuition. Spend sometime thing month sitting with your own Truth and uncovering if there is something that has been left, "unsaid." | | |

| | Buffalo Grounded yet Heavenly, practical yet spiritual The Buffalo card comes from the Earth section of this deck, and I was so happy to see her come through because she's one of my favorites. "The hooves of the mighty Buffalo are grounded in the Earth, yet its heart and mind rise toward Heaven." Chills... every time! There is a story I read once about Buffalos being one of the only animals that walk directly into snowstorms, because they intuitively know that this will get them through the storm faster. This is a bit of the energy that I'm feeling for you this month. Sometimes we know we'd like to get somewhere, but we don't necessarily know every single step along the way... and, of course, that makes us incredibly nervous as human beings. So, for this month, where can you just take the next step and trust that once that first step is taken, the one after will be revealed? This is Buffalo energy baby! The trust and the surrender of the journey itself. Because, that's part of being human, we don't know every step to where we want to go (although, man wouldn't we like to?). What the Buffalo reminds us to do is to have a little faith and surrender that once we do our part and take that first step, the path in front of us will continue to be illuminated.. step by step. | | |
