For most of my life, I felt like I was in a constant state of transition—things falling apart, new directions appearing, a cycle of endings and beginnings that never seemed to stop. I used to wonder if I was doing something wrong, if I was meant to pick one path and stick to it. But no matter how hard I tried, life had a different rhythm for me.
Then I discovered Human Design, and with it, the revelation that I carry the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix. And suddenly, everything made sense.
Learning about the Sleeping Phoenix didn’t just teach me something about myself, it gave me permission to embrace my nature. The constant shifts? The unexpected redirections? The moments when everything seemed to burn down only for something better to take its place? That wasn’t me failing. That was me living my design.
The Sleeping Phoenix energy is all about transformation, about death and rebirth as a natural part of existence. It’s not about resisting change but becoming the change itself... allowing life to unfold in a way that’s fluid, intuitive, and self-sourced.
And once I understood this, everything shifted.
In Human Design, we are transitioning out of the Cross of Planning (a world built on tribal structures, external validation, and fixed systems) and into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix in 2027. For many people, this shift is just beginning. But for those of us who have always carried this energy? We’ve been preparing for this moment all along.
I didn’t always understand why certain structures felt unnatural to me... why traditional business models, corporate paths, or rigid life plans felt like cages instead of roadmaps. But now I do.
I wasn’t designed to follow the old ways. I was designed to embody what’s coming next.
Even with this deep awareness, I’ve found myself caught in the shadow of force more often than I’d like to admit. Trying to fit my work into pre-existing structures, forcing strategies that didn’t align, pushing when I should have been flowing.
It wasn’t until I fully leaned into self-sourced power, understanding that my energy works best when I trust it, not when I try to control it, that I found real clarity.
That’s the beauty of the Sleeping Phoenix. It’s not about forcing change, it’s about becoming the energy of change itself and allowing things to align naturally.
Understanding my design helped me realize that my journey is not about finding the “right” path, it’s about experiencing the unfolding. I don’t have to fear the times when things fall apart because I know that something more aligned is coming. I wholly believe that.
And that’s why I invite others to explore their own designs... not because there’s a specific answer waiting for them, though there might be. But because understanding how you’re meant to move through life can change everything.
These systems... Human Design, astrology, the I Ching and more, are all ways of seeing ourselves more clearly. They show us how we naturally work, where we are conditioned to struggle, and how we can flow more effortlessly with who we were always meant to be.
The Sleeping Phoenix energy is already here. If you’ve been feeling the crumbling of old systems, the pull toward more intuitive ways of working, and the deep knowing that things can’t stay the same... you’re already feeling it.
This transition isn’t just happening in business. It’s happening in how we create, how we connect, and how we live.
If you’re curious about your own design and how to navigate this shift with more clarity and ease, I’d love to guide you. The more you understand yourself, the more empowered you become.
Everything is unfolding exactly as it’s meant to.
The only question is, are you ready to trust it?
