This Week’s Human Design Gate 10 and 15 Transits Call Us to Ground in the Love of Humanity as We Radiate Self-Love

This week’s Human Design transits bring a profound focus on self-love and compassion, with the Sun illuminating Human Design Gate 10 and the Earth grounding us in Gate 15. These energies invite us to reflect on our relationship with ourselves and the world around us, offering an opportunity to align with our truth and embrace the beauty of individuality.

While I have seen beautiful examples of individuality,  is it just me, or have you noticed the pushback too? Lately, I’ve been seeing it everywhere—people tearing each other down for simply being playful, joyful, or unapologetically themselves. A confident young woman shares her beauty with excitement on Instagram, and the comments roll in: “She’s so full of herself.” It’s disheartening. The commenters know nothing about her, only that she was shining, celebrating her gorgeous new hair with playful joy.

And yet, experiences like these can have such a dramatic impact on how we show up moving forward. We may second-guess ourselves, dim our light, or feel the pull to shrink into the shadows—just to avoid being seen as “too much.”

And let’s be honest: when women tear each other down, it cuts the deepest. Why do we feel the need to judge, to dim someone else’s light instead of celebrating the brightness they bring into the world? Perhaps the question hits even closer to home: do you remember a time when the world dimmed your light?

This week’s Human Design energy offers an invitation to turn inward and reflect on these patterns. With the Sun in Gate 10 (Self-Love) and the Earth in Gate 15 (Compassion), we’re being called to examine our relationship with self-love and how it shapes the way we interact with the world around us.

At its core, Gate 10 reminds us that self-love isn’t selfish—it’s survival. And the Earth highlighting Gate 15 challenges us to embrace the full spectrum of human diversity, including the extremes of our own rhythms. Together, they invite us to shine our light unapologetically while creating space for others to do the same.

Spoiler alert: The world needs you to be full of yourself—in the best way possible.

The Gift of Gate 15 in Human Design: Loving the Spectrum of Life

The earth is calling us to ground in the energy of Gate 15.  Often referred to as the Gate of Compassion, it brings a transpersonal love for humanity’s diversity. It teaches us that love isn’t just about how we connect with others but how we project acceptance and love for the full spectrum of human behavior into the world.

This begins with embracing the extremes within ourselves. Gate 15 is about rhythm—accepting that some days we’re bold and dynamic, and other days we’re quiet and reflective. It’s not about forcing ourselves into a mold but honoring the ebbs and flows of our energy.

When we embrace these extremes, our aura becomes magnetic, pulling others toward us and showing them what it looks like to hold space for humanity’s beautiful complexity.

Human Design Gate 10: Embracing the Radical Act of Self-Love

Gate 10, on the other hand, reminds us that self-love is the foundation for everything else. It challenges us to step away from the shadows of self-obsession—whether that manifests as narcissism or self-denial—and instead embrace the gift of naturalness.

Being full of yourself in the Gate 10 sense isn’t about arrogance. It’s about showing up authentically and unapologetically. It’s about loving yourself deeply enough to know that you don’t have to shrink for anyone else’s comfort.

How Mars Retrograde in Gate 31 Influences Leadership and Authenticity

Adding to this dynamic is Mars retrograde in Gate 31.4, which asks us to examine our motivations and the ways we show up as leaders in our lives. Are we leading with authenticity and integrity? Or are we reacting to external projections—trying to mold ourselves to fit what others expect of us?

This energy asks us to hold firm, to trust our voice, and to lead by example rather than seeking validation or approval.

Shining Your Light: Aligning Style with Inner Transformation

This week, I’ve been reflecting on how these energies show up in my life, especially as I prepare for the launch of Shine Your Light: A 5-Day Style Challenge.

This free challenge is for soul-based professionals, energy workers, coaches, personal growth leaders, or anyone who is ready to align their outward expression with the deep inner work they’ve done. It’s about giving yourself permission to be truly seen, to embrace your individuality, and to radiate confidence.

In the past, I might have rushed to launch this offer, feeling the pressure to act on every idea immediately. But the energy of Gate 10 reminds me to trust my own rhythms. Gate 15 encourages me to hold space for the process, allowing the idea to bloom in its own time.

I’ll be releasing details about the challenge soon. If you’d like to be the first to know, make sure you are on my list.  You can sign up below to stay in the loop.
