Human Design Transit Forecast - August 17th 2025
At 03:28 GMT on August 17th 2025:
The Sun shifted into Gate 29 – The Gate of Perseverance
The Earth shifted into Gate 30 – The Gate of Feelings
Welcome to this week’s Human Design transit forecast. As the Sun and Earth move into new Gates, the focus turns to commitment, endurance, and the emotional intensity of desire. These energies invite us to notice how perseverance interacts with our deepest longings, reminding us that true dedication is tested not by ease but by how we move through emotional highs and lows. These transits will remain active until August 22nd 23:41 GMT.
For example: You might feel called to say “yes” to a new relationship, project, or adventure with unwavering commitment, but also notice your emotions swinging between excitement and doubt. The invitation is to honor both the commitment and the feeling process without needing to control the outcome.

The Sun is current in Gate 29, the Gate of Perseverance. Located in the Sacral Center and part of the Collective Abstract (Sensing) Circuit with the keynote of Sharing, Gate 29 is the energy of commitment and the power of saying “yes” to life. This is the capacity to endure, to continue forward even when the path is challenging. Its strength lies in depth of persistence: the availability to follow through and engage fully with an experience. Gate 29 reminds us that perseverance has meaning only when the initial “yes” comes from clarity. Otherwise, its endurance can become exhaustion. In transit, this Gate can heighten the urge to commit, so discernment is key.
Grounding this energy is Gate 30, the Gate of Feelings. Found in the Solar Plexus Center, it is also part of the Collective Abstract (Sensing) Circuit with the keynote of Sharing. It represents the intensity of desire, longing, and emotional hunger. Gate 30 doesn’t promise fulfillment of every wish; instead, it teaches the beauty of experiencing emotions in their depth, whether excitement or despair. There is a nervousness carried within this Gate, often felt as a subtle “fear of the fates.” It reminds us that desire itself shapes how we experience life, even when outcomes don’t match our expectations. Desire is the fire that propels us into new experiences, relationships, and encounters—each one leaving its mark and adding to the unfolding story of our lives.
Together, these Gates create a polarity between perseverance and desire—between the strength to endure and the emotional flame that fuels longing. This dynamic highlights how our commitments are often tied to feelings that rise and fall, creating both hope and challenge. The conditioning field may bring situations where you feel compelled to keep going despite unpredictable emotions, or where longing fuels your commitment yet simultaneously leaves you vulnerable to disappointment. The famous slogan, “Onward, through the fog!” encapsulates the essence of this energy.
It’s worth noting that Pluto in Gate 41 and the Earth in Gate 30 are currently defining the Channel of Recognition. Gate 41 provides the initiating spark—the fuel and imagination that ignite new experiences—while Gate 30 carries the desire to feel them deeply. Together, this Channel amplifies the pull toward emotional intensity, giving weight and momentum to your longings. You may notice that instead of merely desiring something, you feel an almost fated push to move, to travel, or to take action that shifts your trajectory.
In the collective, you may notice stories of movements or individuals showing unwavering commitment fueled by expectation—or cautionary tales of over-commitment driven by unchecked desire. Public conversations may spotlight the emotional costs of perseverance: what it takes to keep going, and what happens when feelings shift but obligations remain. Personally, you may feel tested in your ability to honor what you’ve said “yes” to while riding the waves of your personal, or conditioned, emotions.
As always, your Strategy and Inner Authority are your best allies for navigating this energy. Let them guide you in knowing when to commit, and trust that your feelings can be experienced without needing to dictate your course.
Thanks for joining us for this week’s Human Design weather. May your commitments be true, and your feelings embraced as part of the adventure of being alive. We’ll see you next week for another energetic update.
