Moon
In Human Design, the Moon is the driving force. It moves us through life as its activations play through the body’s instinctive mechanisms.
The Moon travels through all the Gates over the course of a month (approximately), making it a potent and fast-changing influence. The Sun’s thematic energy informs the Moon and is reflected by it, giving the larger life theme an immediate, lived expression.
Moon transits are fast “micro-weather.” They can change the felt tone of a day within hours and are especially relevant for tracking mood, momentum, and instinctive responsiveness.
For Reflectors, a full lunar cycle is the basis of the strategy to wait before major decisions, because each Gate gets temporarily defined through the Moon’s movement.
Moon activations can be experienced as visceral motivation. On the Personality side, you may recognize the drive; on the Design side, it can show up as a bodily push that others notice before you name it.
