Well, my friend, I typically love to write a horoscope-style column for you, but with the way 2026 has been transpiring, I’m noticing a larger need for you to receive validation of what HAS occurred rather than future-tripping.
So if your 2026 so far has looked like having way less clients than you usually do, struggling to maintain your bills, relationships falling to the wayside, or noticing the thing you thought you would do for the rest of your life is not everything it was chalked up to be, you’re in the right place. First, it’s important to understand why the loss of what was once your “norm” is occurring.
There’s this funny thing we humans do in this game called life, and it’s to believe that we’re in control of it all. We write down our goals, strive to achieve them, then make new goals and keep going. But life has this way of reminding us when we’re not on the path that our heart truly wants. And even when we feel we’re in the most control, suddenly things change. This, my friend, is the universe (God, source, whatever you choose to call it) redirecting you on your path. When things stop working, money stops rolling in, and relationships seem to go haywire, the trick is to get curious.
The Great Shed of 2025 and 2026
The last year and a half has been a wild ride of shedding, releasing, letting go of any versions of ourselves that are no longer true to who we are (or perhaps never were). And I’d love to help you understand what’s happening in the background frequencies so you can not only receive validation, but have a better understanding of how to navigate this new-found desire to let it all go and move to Costa Rica for a fresh start.
These past few months have brought upon us major astrological transits (I’m talking some that haven’t occurred in 80+ years!), giving us a completely different perception of the lives we’ve been leading. Uranus, the planet of chaos and innovation, has entered a new era all Taylor Swift style, pushing us into being more present than ever. The North and South Nodes completed a cycle that was initiating us into becoming a new type of human being (literally). Chiron, our deepest wound, made a shift that is sparking all kinds of chaos. And Jupiter…oh, how we love Jupiter…is igniting the part of us that is so done with hiding.
This pressure and disruption could show up in any area of your life. And to be honest, it could be happening in all of them. The spotlight is going to shine right now on any aspects of your life where you are not being authentic to the legacy you’re here to leave. Get curious about areas of your life that you feel like you’re being tested like crazy right now, because those are magical clues for where you’re being called to expand.
Not a freaking clue what I’m talking about? Don’t worry – I’ll break it all down for you here.
If you want to dive into this on an ultra personal level, I recommend downloading your Human Design chart here to see if you have any of these energies activated inside you normally. If you do, you’ll be feeling these changes EXTRA, boo. Don’t worry – that just means it’s your time to shine!
Ready? Let’s dive into the details of the energetic pokes from the universe
(If you have any of these gates in your design, you’ll feel it amplified. If you don’t normally have it, you’re getting a taste test of it now! Use it to your advantage to redirect, pivot, awaken an evolution of more presence and authenticity within you that’s just waiting to be expressed!)
Uranus, our lovely planet of disruption and shaking sh*t up, has moved into Gate 20 in the Human Design system. The energy of Gate 20 is presence, truth right now, and living in the moment, instead of from old identities or future fear. At its highest frequency, Gate 20 is asking you: Who are you right now? The real you? And this feels uncomfy as heck, because Uranus disrupts anything false, outdated, or conditioned.
Collectively, we’re seeing people becoming radically more outspoken, no longer tolerating fake or performative energy, major changes in media, communication, AI, and identity shifts happening quickly. It’s pushing us to stop performing who we think we should be and start embodying who we actually are in the present moment.
And then we have the North Node highlighting the energy of “I don’t want to force life anymore.” With the North Node moving through Gate 55 for about 18 months, this was about internal surrender. If you’re a Taurus like me, that was a hard one! We’re oscillating between the “Do we burn it all down?” or “Do we just need to stop gripping so tightly?”
We’re moving into a time where we are done hustling so hard or trying to control everything all the time. We want to be paid just to exist. We’re getting curious about what it would look like to trust that there are energies out there supporting our highest good, and we don’t have to work so damn hard!
But guess what? It gets even better! Chiron, known as the wounded healer inside all of us, moved into Gate 3: The energy of chaos and change. We’re being asked to heal the parts of us that are attached to scarcity and low self-worth. Our foundations and stability are being shaken up. But it’s not to harm us – it’s to create transformation. New beginnings. Innovation.
You don’t create something new when everything is hunky dory. Innovation comes from a need for new order. We were taught that the messy middle is bad because it’s not perfect. But what if the mess you’re seeing in your life right now doesn’t mean something is wrong? What if it’s the birth of something new?
And last but not least, we have Jupiter. Ahh, Jupiter. Our planet of expansion and abundance. This big daddy of a planet is moving through Leo-themed Gates (Gates 56, 31, 33, 7, 4, and 29). Leo (as in the zodiac sign) is all about expression and boldness. We’re literally being asked to speak up, have courage, and be recognized in order to grow and expand. Where are you hiding? What parts of you are ready to tell their side of the story? You’re finally wanting to be seen as yourself. Your true self. The version of you who is here to leave a mark. A legacy! How does that version of you need to be heard?
But why is this happening?
All of this at one time is forcing us to redefine what we want for our lives. We’re being asked to dream again and to allow the shift that’s occurring underneath to surface. So before you quit your job, end the relationship, or book that one-way ticket to Costa Rica…pause. Maybe this isn’t an invitation to burn your life down. Perhaps it’s an invitation to stop building it from the version of you who no longer exists.
I encourage you to reflect and journal on the questions presented throughout this conversation. And because I’m extra, I want to leave you with one more question: What kind of life is worthy of becoming your legacy?
Our legacy is created in the tiny, everyday choices we make. It’s choosing the hard conversation. It’s inside the dream you’ve convinced yourself is unrealistic. It’s in the way people gather around your table. Your legacy is literally within the small shifts you make to realign with your authenticity. We’re finally realizing that some parts of us were built from fear instead of truth. And if these cosmic frequencies have left you questioning your business, your relationships, your purpose – good.
Curiosity is a sacred tool for growth. Trust that what is falling away is creating room for something your old life simply couldn’t hold. Your legacy isn’t asking you to become someone else again. It’s asking you to finally live as the person you were born to be.
