088. The Human Design Rave New Year

088. The Human Design Rave New Year

Author: Astrid Heystee January 21, 2026 Duration: 19:58

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or even a little disappointed in yourself for not sticking to your resolutions, this episode is for you.

What if the problem isn’t your lack of willpower or discipline… but the timing itself?

In this episode of the Travel and Work with Human Design podcast, Astrid invites you to look at time through a new lens, one that honors your body, your energy, and the deeper rhythms of nature. Instead of pushing forward with the pressure of “New Year, New Me,” she explores the Human Design Rave New Year, where the real energetic beginning of the year doesn’t happen on January 1st, but when the Sun moves into Gate 41.

You’ll learn why so many people crash around Blue Monday, how ambition and burnout are baked into the Gregorian calendar, and how aligning with the Rave Mandala can bring more ease, self-compassion, and purpose into your life. This is an invitation to stop forcing and start syncing, with your own inner wisdom, with the seasons, and with what truly matters.
