Hello magical humans. Scroll to the bold if you just want to skip to the nugget of wisdom, read it all if you want some HD drama.
There’s some drama in the Human Design world this week and I’m secretly loving it. I love seeing people get riled up, shaken up, and decide where they want to metaphorically plant their flags in the spiritual sand.
The drama surrounds two types of astrology: tropical and sidereal. Sharrie Smith has a great explainer about what’s going down and WTF either type of astrology is in the first place. Check it out here if you’re interested in the details and her wonderful wisdom.
I made a quick post preaching my “HD is data not doctrine” gospel of non-belief, and then, in response to that post and in conversation with the luminous Graciela Rasor, I landed on what I really had to say, and it was such a big “aha” that I decided to write this quick newsletter because it felt important, relevant, and freeing. So here it goes, here’s the important part:
I’m working on a really big creative project right now. A second book. And my first big fiction project. And here’s the thing. The book I’m writing doesn’t give a fuck what my Human Design is, it just asks that I show up as creatively engaged as I possibly can, as often as I can, open the channel and DO THE WORK.
If understanding my Human Design can help me do that, then it’s a useful and validating tool. If my Human Design distracts me from doing that, then it is just that, a distraction.
That’s it. That’s the wisdom.
Trust your magic.
I’ll be back with some more HD/creative/tarot goodness when I’ve finished this first draft. ✨ ✨ ✨
A million times yes, thank you for this, and I cannot wait to learn more about your book!
