I spend so much time talking about different energy systems and reading the underlying patterns, I thought it might be fun today to share how they work in personal life. I’ve had many readings by various practitioners over the years and have noticed through lines in them along the way.

My favorite systems are Astrology, Tarot, Myers-Briggs, and Human Design. I haven’t dipped my toe into Enneagram yet but would love recommendations for a good reader if you have one. I also haven’t gone too far down the rabbit hole with Human Design, though I find it mostly tracks with my astrology.

I love all the tiny details each practitioner gives me because they help me put words to what I already intuitively know about myself. Not only does it validate how well I’ve followed my heart and mind into choosing my career path of coaching / teaching / writing, it also reinforces situations I’ve always felt averse to like large crowds and deeply competitive workplaces, etc.

To that end, when I blend the systems of Astrology, Myers-Briggs, and Human Design here are three through lines I’ve found to be true in my own life. Have you ever done this for yourself? I’d love to hear!

Meant to Be Read & Heard:

As a Virgo ruled by Mercury, I’m a communicator at heart. It’s no surprise I’ve turned to content creation for so much of my career. In fact, I’d venture to say this was the strongest part of my performance as a student as well. Last year I found myself agitated when I had more to type than I could fit on a page so I started the podcast using my tried-and-true decision making system (see below). I know it’s wild, but I physically feel better after I’ve recorded it because I’m able to move what’s been building up in my body out into the world in a productive way.

This also speaks to my INFJ Myers-Briggs and Manifesting Generator 6/2 split. I feel my contribution to the world first, then I bring it into a tangible and digestible form for you. I spend a lot of time alone (Hermit (2)), while I research each week and relish this solitude. (Rest assured, our household is busy so I’m not living in extreme isolation!) Having regular chunks of time to retreat into my head is deeply precious to me and is something I’d never give up.

Intuitive & Feeling:

When I make any big decision I literally think through all possible scenarios I can imagine, then I feel through every scenario, then I sleep on it. This is not an exaggeration. I basically give myself an intense thinking and emotional workout before I make any major life decision. I’ve been told this is due to my Human Design 6/2 sacral split. I find it hard to be impulsive and rarely throw caution to the wind if I haven’t taken time to feel through the emotional highs and lows of every situation. This is also a fairly typical Virgoan quality.

That said, I can make very quick decisions when I have enough of a precedent for how something will work out. For example, travel is always a yes because I know it gives me space and fresh inspiration. The same with trying anything related to writing and, now, podcasting. I can make choices about items in my home quickly because I can visually fit them together in my head in an instant. I’m a fantastic person to brainstorm with because I can go plausible futuristic scenarios without a second thought. I see every possibility for you from all angles. (Seeing the possibility for others is one of my Human Design strengths, I’ve also be told.) It’s one of my most fun qualities; I’m always down for an encouraging brainstorm sesh!

To some it seems a little weird I put myself through these mind-body exercises, but I’ve done it for my entire life. The trickier part for me is I can do this for other people as well, but I only share this with them if I’m invited to do so. It’s not because I can see the future like an oracle, but I can feel how things might turn out for them, and spot when they haven’t considered a possible aspect. I love helping people envision future scenarios in their heads, try on they feel, and assess if it’s what they actually want.

My Soul’s Mission:

One of my favorite readings came recently when a seasoned astrologer (if you want his info, ping me) described my soul’s mission:

“Your soul’s mission is to bring coherence where there has been emotional complexity, fragmentation, or quiet imbalance. You’re here to translate lived experience into understanding - not just intellectually, but emotionally - helping others (and yourself) make sense of what they feel, remember, and carry.

At a deep level, your work is about restoring harmony in private worlds: families, inner landscapes, homes, and relational systems that need steadiness rather than drama. You are not meant to lead by force or visibility first, but by presence, clarity, and emotional intelligence that calms rather than overwhelms. When you live this mission fully, you become a quiet stabilizer: someone whose words, listening, and decisions subtly re-order the emotional field around them.”

He also described my life path as being one of progress in that I continue to evolve to become more solid over time. My path is not one of highs and lows, rather a slow, sustained build.

This is the same thing Casey said to me regarding my Human Design. As an MG with my 6/2 splits and various gates such as they are, I’m meant to spend ages 30-50 experimenting and growing. (Good news - I’ve been doing exactly that!) When I reach age 50 (which is just about 18-months away), I’m going to shift into my embodiment phase where I function more as a Role Model (6) and can share all that I’ve learned to help others.

The Fun of it All

I’m deeply grateful I’ve been able to feel my way here in this lifetime. The past 20 years have been full of all kinds of play, life lessons, and deep learning. I’m excited to be in the phase of shifting this all to the next plane where I bring it out in the world to help others. As I said in my podcast, I’m here to be the lighthouse for others, a privilege I adore and take very seriously.

If you have any fun energy systems and stories I’d love to hear!
