The pre- and post-shadow periods and how they subtly shape the retrograde experience
Why this cycle brings opportunities for review, reflection, and resolution
What is means for Mercury to Retrograde in Scorpio and Sagittarius
Mercury’s station direct in Gate 43 (Insight) and what that means in Human Design
Key dates and do’s & don’ts during this cycle — especially around Thanksgiving and Black Friday
How the Scorpio New Moon + Mercury Cazimi bring clarity and renewal in the midst of retrograde
The influence of Gate 14 where the Sun and Moon meet during the New Moon

Libra, Scorpio & the Splenic Gates: Fear, Intuition & the Descent Into the Dark Half of the Year

As the Sun moves through Libra and Scorpio season, it also travels through all seven gates of the Spleen which is the center of instinct, intuition, and survival. This is a deeply transformative passage that mirrors the darker half of the year, when light fades and we turn inward.
In this episode, we explore:
🌒 The duality of Libra and Scorpio — balance and transformation, ego and soul.
🌿 The Spleen Center in Human Design — what it means to have it defined or undefined.
🔮 The seven splenic gates — their core fears and intuitive gifts.
🜂 How this season invites us to release fear, trust our instincts, and reconnect with our body’s wisdom.
It’s a journey of shedding what’s not aligned, reclaiming inner trust, and moving from self to soul in the same way as nature descends into the dark to find renewal.
