As a self-proclaimed Chatty Kathy, I have been pretty quiet lately. You may or may not have noticed.

In years past, that kind of quiet would have scared me. I would have told myself something was wrong. That I had lost my passion, or lost my way, or just could not do this anymore. But things look different through the lens of Radical Self-Trust. And especially through the lens of my word of the year: Nourish.

I have been nourishing. I went to Miami in April and presented about Lilith to a room full of people who were ready to hear it. I came home and quickly returned to Florida with my husband to spend time at the ocean. I did Mirrorball Readings with women who cracked open in the most beautiful ways. I let myself be in my body, in nature, in the relationships that matter most to me. The wisdom kept coming the way it only does when I stop forcing it.

Today, once again one rabbit hole led to another and here I am, writing to you. That is how I function best. Follow what my body enjoys. Let the wisdom come.

Then I know I have a contribution worthy of sharing.  

Trusting the Confusion

Recently I was unpacking the energy of Gate 64, and the keynote really sparked something in my body.  

The architecture of confusion as a transmission device.  

I have this gate defined twice by Pluto, the planet that brings transformation, so if we are similar in age you may have it there as well.  I often find myself pressured to explore big questions.  In my younger years this created a huge need for answers, but I now understand that for me it is about exploring the right questions.  Hence my love for the Rabbit hole. Do you love diving deep into a question and just allowing the breadcrumbs to lead where they may?  Well this is a blog about exactly that.

I recently watched a video by a fellow Human Design reader doing genuinely interesting work exploring the seldom talked about connection between Kabbalah and the Human Design body graph. Something sparked in me watching it and I heard that quiet internal signal I have learned not to ignore: pay attention. This is pointing somewhere.

So I followed it.

I want to be honest up front. I know very little about Kabbalah, but am currently feeling a deep call to learn more. I have no intention of becoming an authority on Jewish mysticism. What I am is someone who recognizes patterns, who follows questions without an agenda, and who has been watching something happen in my Mirrorball Readings for months that I did not yet have the ancient language to name. This rabbit hole gave me some of that language. And what I found was a series of synchronicities that confirmed that I was onto something spiritually significant.  Something that has helped fill in the gaps I always felt were missing from Human Design.  Something I now see was there all along. 

The Kabbalistic Roots Ra Never Fully Taught

Human Design’s founder, Ra Uru Hu was a self-proclaimed atheist. He had a deep mystical experience where the Human Design System was revealed to him by a disembodied voice in 1987 in Ibiza.   What most would describe as a mystical experience after which he changed his name from Alan Robert Krakower to Ra Uru Hu. Yet he spent the rest of his life saying Human Design is not a spiritual system. It is mechanical. It is science.

And yet the voice that spoke to him during those eight days specifically cited the Kabbalah as one of the wisdom traditions woven into what would become Human Design. The channels of the body graph are rooted in the Tree of Life. The centers correspond to the sefirot, the energy centers of Kabbalistic teaching. That spiritual architecture is not something Ra added later. It came directly from the Voice.

I have spent time thinking about why he may have presented it largely stripped of that language. And I speculate it may have been necessary at that time. Perhaps the Voice even chose him because of his atheism. If Human Design had been introduced to the world in the late 20th century culture with any real emphasis on Kabbalah,  Jewish mysticism, the feminine divine in exile, this knowledge may have been dismissed as heresy, or dismissed as cult. It may not have reached the people it needed to reach or people might have had an even greater tendency to see Ra Ur Hu as some great guru, which completely negates the idea of trusting your inner authority. Sometimes the container has to look different from what is inside it.

But Ra also knew something else. He knew this period of concealment was not permanent. He knew things would change. 

The 2027 Prophecy and the Neo Matriarchal Revival

Ra taught extensively about what he called the 2027 shift, the transition from the Cross of Planning into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix. He described it as the emergence of a neo-matriarchal revival, driven by the yin forces of Pluto, Sedna, and Eris, the planetary bodies that in at least one lecture he called Grandma Pluto and her girls. He said plainly that thousands of years of yang supremacy are ending, and that the yin forces that were suppressed, diminished, and demonized across human history are rising.

He called Sedna a marker. From the moment she entered our consciousness, he said, human beings born after her discovery in 2003 carry within them the mutative potential for what comes next. Eris, the warrior force that does not need a weapon, is the protector of what is emerging. And Pluto, the great transformer, moves through death and rebirth cycles to clear the way.

Right now Pluto is retrograde, which means its transformative pressure is turned inward. The gate it currently occupies in the Human Design chart is about contraction, the kind of compression that happens just before something new can begin. Not destruction. Preparation. The kind of moment where life is quietly asking: what are you still carrying that belongs to the old cycle? What needs to be honestly assessed before you can move forward? 

The spiritual layer in Human Design is not something to add on top of the mechanics. It is the very base of the mechanics. And we are in the era Ra said would make it visible.

I am not alone in sensing this. I am seeing more Human Design teachers and readers bringing spirituality and our connection to the divine back to the forefront of this work. I believe that was always meant to be part of it.

The Shekinah and the Mirror Ball

Following this thread led me back to a conversation I had with my friend Christina several months ago, right around the time I was first writing about Lilith while creating the structure of my signature reading, The Mirror Ball—Finding Light in the Fragments.  Christina brought in the concept of Shekinah, the indwelling feminine presence of the divine in Kabbalistic teaching. You can watch part of that conversation here.

At the time I was very familiar with the idea of the Divine Feminine, but at the time, neither of us understood that Shekinah is rooted in Kabbalah.  

In Lurianic Kabbalah, there is a concept called the Shevirat HaKelim: the breaking of the vessels. The divine light shattered and scattered into fragments embedded in the material world. The work of repair that follows has a name: Tikkun. It means gathering those fragments so the light can be seen again. Not fixing the brokenness. Gathering the sparks within it.

Here is what gave me chills. I named my signature reading the Mirrorball before I ever consciously knew that concept existed. Finding your light in the fragments. Light scattered through a shattered surface, moving through a room in a way that a single unbroken beam never could.

That isn’t coincidence. That is synchronicity, a pattern I was designed to recognize.

The Shekinah in Kabbalistic teaching is the feminine divine presence, the one who dwells in the broken places, who goes into exile with her people, who gathers the scattered sparks until they can be returned to wholeness. She does not fix the brokenness from the outside. She inhabits it. She is the breath within the breath, the presence that makes the sacred real in embodied life.

What Christina pointed me toward was something I had already been doing in these readings without the ancient name for it. Every woman I have worked with in a Mirrorball Reading has been through some version of this shattering. The suppression of the knowing. The wounding that went so deep it became invisible. The fragments of herself that were exiled not because they were wrong, but because the world was not ready to hold them.

What cracks open in those readings is not something I manufacture. Something comes back online. That is the work of gathering the sparks. That is Tikkun happening in real time in a Human Design reading.

Tikkun in the Human Design Chart

Your Human Design chart is not just a map of your mechanics. It is a map of the mechanics of your spirituality, where the divine light landed in you, which fragments you are carrying, and what piece of the world’s repair is yours to do through the specific combination of wounds and gifts and patterns that nobody else has in quite the same way.

The Kabbalah calls that your Tikkun, the repair only your soul came here to make. I call it the light in the fragments. 

We are in the era Ra pointed at. The yin is rising. The old containers are cracking. And the things that were suppressed, in the collective and in you personally, are asking to be gathered and returned to the light.

And here is what Ra said was the point of all of it. He said the goal of living in correctness with your design was simply to love yourself. So deeply and so genuinely that it became the most natural thing you did. He signed every email with those two words. Love yourself. For someone who insisted he was not teaching a spiritual system, that is a profoundly spiritual instruction.

Gathering your fragments is how you get there.

If you are ready to look at these fragments in your chart, book a reading here, and choose Mirrorball reading on the intake form.   If you want to read more start here: Mirror Balls, Rabbit Holes, and the Reading I Didn’t Know I Was Building. That is where the Mirrorball Reading began, and it will give you the full picture of what we explore in these advanced readings together.

I am not done with this rabbit hole. I have barely started but the mirror ball is spinning again. I am ready to shine my light. And I am here to help you shine yours.

Peace out ✌🏻🌼
