Looking at communication through the lens of the Human Design Throat Centre

One of my very first Human Design readings was for a woman who wanted to understand herself better. She knew quite a few things about her Design already. Towards the end of the reading she said “You know, I am not sure if I have what it takes to be a good coach, I am not very good at making bold statements”.

Today is considered the luckiest day of 2026 in Western astrology. Jupiter and Venus are conjunct in Cancer. This conjunction in Cancer usually only happens every 12 years, and is generally considered particularly beneficial. I say ‚usually‘ because last year was a rare anomaly due to a retrograde phase, where Jupiter and Venus also met in Cancer.

But the last time before then was August 2014.

And August 2014 was, without doubt, the worst month of my life.
