There's a lot of language right now about transformation and reinvention. But that's not what most people actually need — whether they're actively changing or just trying to stay steady under pressure.

What people are actually seeking is continuity. The capacity to remain coherent while conditions shift. To change without fragmenting. To not lose themselves in the process.

This episode breaks down why that matters right now, specifically. With personal planets moving through Aquarius and meeting Pluto, while the Sun transits Human Design Gate 41 — the Gate of Contraction that begins the Rave New Year — we're in an energy that stress-tests systems rather than expands them.

Drawing from business continuity principles, Human Design mechanics under pressure, and the specifics of this astrological moment, this episode maps out what continuity of self actually looks like. Not mystical. Not motivational. Operational.

It covers the three major pitfalls to watch for during this transit, how each Human Design Type maintains continuity when pressure builds, and the practical difference between transformation and dissolution.

Because you don't need to become someone else to survive this moment. You need to stop abandoning yourself while you move through it.
