Energy Weaving with the Wandering Shaman: Quantum Human Design & Shamanic Wisdom - March 30, 2025 - The Sun Enters the Gate of Self-Regulation/The Earth Enters the Gate of Wisdom

Hello everyone!  Welcome, or welcome back to my podcast!  If you are new to this podcast, don’t worry about what you may have missed; you can just jump in where we are.  You are welcome to go back and listen to past episodes, but it’s not necessary.  I do recommend, however, that if you are new to human design and/or shamanism, you go back and listen to episode 1 of this podcast.  I give a brief introduction to both concepts there, with a lot of the “lingo” explained.  Alternatively, you could read the Introductory blog post here; it may help you as we move through the year.

One quick announcement before we jump into this week’s energies.  If you are in the Midland, Michigan area, I am teaching an Intro to Quantum Human Design class at Ways to Wellness on Thursday, April 10th, starting at 6:30 pm.  The cost is $60, and you will get a copy of your birth chart, class notes, and an opportunity to book a full human design reading with me at a discounted rate if you attend.  If you are interested, you can sign up through the Ways to Wellness website here: https://www.waystowellnessstore.com/. 

Ok, so today is March 30, 2025, and the sun is in Gate 21 - the Gate of Self-Regulation and the earth is in Gate 48 - the Gate of Wisdom.  Let’s take a look at what that means.  

I have been talking about Gate 21, the Gate of Self-Regulation a LOT lately.  It has come up several times in recent readings, so I think the message is really trying to get through.  The big lesson and challenge of Gate 21 is to LET GO.  So let’s just start with that as a contemplation.  What do you need to let go of?  Is there a relationship that you need to move on from?  Are there possessions cluttering your house that you need to eliminate?  Do you have outdated beliefs that need to be released?  What do you need to let go of?  The energy of Gate 21 is gently inviting us to release that which no longer serves us, whether that be physical, mental or emotional things.  This energy also asks us to release the need to control others and circumstances.  Are there people or circumstances in your life that you feel the need to control? Can you let go of that need?  The energy also asks us to trust in the Divine, however we relate to that concept and to know that we are supported.  So, do you trust the Universe?  Do you believe that you are worthy of Divine support?  

There are a lot of juicy things to consider with Gate 21, but that’s not all.  We have the earth in Gate 48, which is the Gate of Wisdom.  This energy asks us to trust that we will know what we need to know when we need to know it.  The unbalanced expression of this gate causes us to be afraid to try something new or to go beyond our comfort zone because we think we don’t know enough or that we’re not ready.  When this gate is out of balance, it can affect whether we are able to do what gate 21 is asking us, which is to LET GO.  We may be afraid to let go because that will take us out of our comfort zone and we don’t think we are ready.  So how do we combat this?  One thing we can do is examine if there is something we need to heal, release, align or bring to our awareness that will deepen our own self-trust.  Do you trust yourself?  Do you trust that you know enough and that you will be shown what you need to know when you need to know it?  

If we can’t get anywhere with self-analysis and contemplation, perhaps there is an energetic block or imbalance that needs to be removed or corrected.  This is where an energy session may be helpful.  If this resonates with you, please check out the service tab here for the services I offer.  These can be done either in person or over Zoom.  

Another remedy is to enhance any practices we have that will deepen our connection with the wisdom of Source energy.  That may be walking in nature, meditating, journaling, praying, journeying or anything else that works for you.  

Let’s see if the Mystic Wanderer deck has any further ideas to offer.  I pulled the Snake card from Austeen Heeny’s oracle deck.  The link to her information is in the show notes.  And the pictures of the cards I’m using are posted on Instagram and Facebook.  Here’s what it has to say:

Thick, muddy, hellish shadows nestle deep within our areas of pain.  This card is calling for you to work through the constantly shifting silhouettes of anguish and suffering.  These unseen shapes may be lurking underneath the subconscious, so we may not even know they exist, but they are there affecting our earthly experience nonetheless.  We can take wisdom from the ancient knowledge of the snake, for he knows that just because you have shed once doesn’t mean the deed is done.  The snake understands shadow work is needed time after time.  In this labor resides many things, both the dark, grimy shadow of agony, but also the light all-knowing shadows that are your gifts.  The barriers that surround our energetic powers, as well as our pains, need to be removed and released from our energetic bodies so that we can begin again.  This power animal reminds us that the work is never done.

Begin shadow work, even if you do not think you need it.  Understand that you can’t see everything.  There is a block that is not allowing you to tap into your psychic abilities.  Release stale relationships.  Be open to new people, ideas, and ways of doing things.

This is an interesting card to pull considering we are also in the year of the snake.  I don’t love the term “shadow work,” as I think it is overused.  But I do think we need to look at what is holding us back from tapping into our highest self and moving forward on the path for our highest good.  And some of those blocks may not be easily seen until we start to dig for them.  The energy of the snake is that of letting go and releasing, just like Gate 21.  The snake sheds its old skin to make room for the new.  Again, what do you need to release and let go of so that you can move forward?  Trust that you know enough to just start and the way forward will be revealed more as you go.  As I said earlier, if, as you’re working through this energy, you feel you need a little extra support and if an energy session is calling your name, please reach out.  I’d love to work with you!

So, my friends, I think I will leave it there.  You have a lot of food for thought in this episode.  I’ll be back on April 5th when the sun is in Gate 51 - the Gate of Initiation and the Earth is in Gate 57, the Gate of Instinct.  Until then, take good care and we’ll see you soon.
