If the start of the year has left you feeling rushed or off-balance, you’re not alone.
I know for me, January 1st came and went in a blur, especially with the broken wrist.
But the good news is we have the Human Design New Year!
Starting on January 21st, Gate 41 brings an entirely different energy – one that sets the perfect background for intentionality and alignment.
Gate 41 energy invites us to imagine what’s possible and dream of the future we want to create. It’s a powerful moment to pause, reflect, and reset.
Let’s talk about how to embrace this energy and plan your year in a way that supports your unique Human Design Energy Type.

Gate 41: Your Energetic Starting Line
Gate 41 is often referred to as the Gate of Contraction, symbolizing the pullback needed before a powerful launch.
Think of it like drawing back a bowstring before releasing an arrow. This energy supports you in imagining what’s possible while staying grounded in intention.
To align with this energy, take a moment to daydream. What does an aligned, fulfilling year look like for you? What values, goals, or dreams feel most important?
Three words for 2025: Sovereignty, Creativity, Courage
This year’s cosmic energy encourages us to:
Reclaim our sovereignty: Take control of the things you can, like how you spend your time and energy.
Embrace creativity: Imagine bold, new possibilities for yourself.
Summon courage: Face change with resilience and trust in your ability to navigate the unknown.
Grounding practices and nervous system regulation will be key this year.
Simple practices like breathwork, daily walks, or time in nature can help you stay centered and aligned.
