🗓 October 13–19, 2025
Theme: When Change Tests Your Courage
In this week’s Transit Talk, Kathy Bochonko and Jess Tilly explore what it really means to endure, adapt, and complete cycles with grace. With the Sun highlighting Gate 32 and the Earth grounding in Gate 42, the energy reminds us that the only thing that endures is change.
Together, Kathy and Jess unpack how this energy is showing up collectively — from the fear of failure that keeps us holding on too long, to the quiet courage required to let go when something has reached its natural end.
This conversation weaves together reflections on Jane Goodall’s legacy of conservation, the courage to preserve what matters, and the wisdom of knowing when to release what’s complete. They also share this week’s Cosmic Weather Forecast, offering a day-by-day look at the energetic “weather fronts” as the Sun and Earth move through each line.
In this episode:
• How the energy of Gate 32 reminds us that the only thing that endures is change
• The role of Gate 42 in helping us complete cycles with grace
• Reflections on Jane Goodall’s life work and the instinct to conserve what’s sacred
• A full Cosmic Weather Forecast — your daily energetic outlook for the week ahead

🎙 Transit Talk Podcast — Sun in Gate 6 / Earth in Gate 36
Theme: Conflict & Turbulence → Choosing Diplomacy & Humanity (the keys to Peace & Compassion)
In this episode of Transit Talk, Kathy and Jess dive into the current Human Design transits of Sun in Gate 6 (Friction) and Earth in Gate 36 (Crisis / “Darkening of the Light”).
We explore:
How last week’s shadows of Oppression (Gate 47) and Dishonor (Gate 22) stirred up collective tension, and why this week is a choice point to either escalate or transform.
The energy of Gate 6 in the Defense Circuit—how it can show up as war, or as intimacy when diplomacy leads the way.
The lessons of Gate 36, moving from Turbulence to Humanity to Compassion, and learning to navigate emotional “dark nights” without bypassing.
Our Cosmic Weather Forecast for the week (daily lines 1–6), including special alerts: Mercury in Gate 6, Mars moving into Gate 50, the Moon conjunct Venus in Gate 29.6, four outer planets retrograde (Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto), and the Solar Eclipse on September 21.
Real-life reflections on social media intensity, honoring emotions, and practicing Radical Self-Trust in your own circle of influence.
Plus, a bonus exploration of Variable and how it shapes the way we process and pace ourselves.
💡 This isn’t about amplifying shadow; it’s about recognizing it—and then choosing the gift frequency. Where can you pause, practice diplomacy, and keep humanity at the center, especially when emotions run high?

Transit Talk: Sun in Gate 4 / Earth in Gate 49
Theme: Grounded Rebellion: From Intolerance to Forgiveness
This week on Transit Talk, we explore the 4/49 energy — where mental solutions meet principled revolution.
Gate 4 brings the pursuit of answers, logic, and understanding. Gate 49 brings revolutionary activism rooted in values, not just reaction. Together, they invite us to question whether the answers we’re chasing align with our principles — and to recognize that forgiveness doesn’t always mean access.
We share personal stories, from Jane Fonda’s red coat activism to the Costco chicken & waffles moment, and explore how this transit calls for understanding as the bridge between intolerance and forgiveness. We also touch on the Schumann Resonance, upcoming changes to the 49/19 connection, and the week’s cosmic weather forecast.
