A New Cycle Begins in 2026: Gate 41, the Human Design New Year & the Year of the Horse
In this episode, we explore the Human Design New Year and how an energetic reset begins when the Sun moves into Gate 41, the Gate of Contraction and the starting codon in Human Design.
We talk about how desire and emotion initiate new experiences, and why it is completely okay if clarity, goals, or resolutions have not fully landed yet. A new cycle does not begin overnight but rather it unfolds in layers.
We also dive into the Lunar New Year and the transition from the Year of the Snake into the Year of the Horse, highlighting the shift from deep internal processing to movement, courage, and aligned action.
Alongside this, we explore 2026 through the lens of numerology as a One Year, which is a year of beginnings, fresh starts, creativity, and quantum leaps.
Blending Human Design, Astrology, Lunar cycles, and numerology, this episode offers a grounded perspective on how to move with the timing of 2026 rather than rushing ahead of it.
