What Are Human Design Transits?
In Human Design, transits represent the current positions of celestial bodies mapped onto the bodygraph. Just as planets move through the sky, they activate different Gates and Channels in the global bodygraph — creating a “cosmic weather” that influences everyone.
When you overlay the current transit onto a person’s birth chart, you get personalized insights about what energies are active for them right now.

birth_place: 'Seoul, South Korea',
transit_date: '2026-03-20T12:00:00Z',
}),
});
