The 2027 Evolution is Under Way
We are at the tail-end of a 400-year-long global cycle: Here's what you need to know
This will likely become a continuing series of posts as I, myself, am actively digging deeper to become more well-versed in this subject so that I can synthesize the material in a meaningful way for you. It’s a lot to unpack and requires a rudimentary understanding of Human Design, at least, so please follow along, have patience, and open your mind. We got this. xo, Janeen

2026: The End of an Era
According to the wisdom received by Human Design founder Ra Uru Hu during his eight-day-long, transcendental experience in 1987 —
during which he downloaded this entire spiritual-scientific system from a “voice” directing him to scribble diagrams and symbols onto hundreds upon hundreds of pieces of paper —
2027 marks the beginning of a new global cycle.
Logically, that means 2026 marks the end of the one we’re living in now.
Which could explain why 2025 feels like the fastest-moving slow-motion train wreck ever.
Sit tight. This does get better.
While the rest of us kept ourselves busy listening to Kurt Cobain and watching the first-ever televised war unfold before our eyes, RA Uru Hu spent the 90’s unraveling what he’d transcribed from “the voice,” piecing it all together and talking about it to anyone who’d listen.
Out came Human Design.
Some took note. Many laughed it off.
Nevertheless, Ra knew something at the core of his being:
the whole point of the teachings he’d received about energy mechanics and individual differentiation were really meant to benefit the children.
The next generation.
The Beings who’d be growing up in the new paradigm that he’d been told was coming.
The Raves, he called them.
Kids who’d come into the world at a future date, somewhere around 2027 — which seemed so far off into the distance at the time.
These children would carry different cosmic DNA than the rest of us who were already here on the planet.
They’d have a new, elevated mindset and would carry some different features to their energy mechanics than what we have.
Plus, a different set of Earth frequencies would be at play by then to define their very existence.
Screw the adults, Ra thought.
They’re too far gone. Too conditioned. Too highly influenced by shadow.
Getting into alignment with one’s highest vibration, shedding the “Not Self,” is too monumental a task for the average human.
They can’t be bothered.
It’s too much work to claw back decades worth of “shoulds,” regrets and bad choices to actually return to the radiant authenticity we all possessed as babes and actually be prepared for the 2027 Evolution.
Those are my words, not Ra’s. Still, he wasn’t known as an optimist.
But to help kids understand their Human Design?
Before their dysfunctional parents and their broken societies condition them into feeling less-than?
Hell, that would be gold!
To let the wee ones walk through the world just as they are,
without forcing them to show up according to familial expectations,
or command them to fit within the rigid confines of their cultural norms—
Ahhhh, chef’s kiss.
If we could show parents their kids’ energy blueprints, then the kids would surely be equipped to stand strong in their individuality so that they could navigate any upcoming global shifts with ease and flow…
Wouldn’t they?
“The moment you understand how the game works, you find your power.”
—Ra Uru Hu
Just think: when Uru Hu downloaded all this wisdom in 1987, we were birthing Millennials.
Whitney Houston and U2 led the pop charts.
Prozac had just been invented.
The stock market crashed on what’ll always be remembered as Black Monday.
Shoulder pads were all the rage.
And in February of 1987, an enormous supernova explosion triggered the first-ever measurable detection of neutrinos in the atmosphere.
The dawn of quantum science broke.
Nothing is a coincidence.
If only we could’ve spread the message fast enough, far and wide, that each human on earth carries their own, unique, energetic imprint,
and that that imprint shows them exactly how they’re built to process energy,
and that if they were to align with their body’s unique, natural energy flow,
they would find inner peace, a clear direction in life, self-confidence and self-love, fulfillment in their endeavors, joyousness, successful outcomes due to aligned decision-making, functional relationships and a deep sense of satisfaction at the end of every day.
Ra could only hope. So he kept speaking his truth. To hell with the haters.
Since the early 90s’, some of us have actually gotten the memo.
And lucky we did. Just in the nick of time.
Because what we’re living through right now, in 2025, is indeed evolutionary.
Not just at the human level, but at the galactic level.
Earth is changing. And we’re along for the ride.
At least those of us who’ve been digging deeper have had the benefit of knowing how we’re meant to walk through the world.
We’ve gotten a head start on shedding our false selves so that we could try to get into alignment with our most powerful energetic strengths,
which has allowed us to navigate the shitstorm we’re currently living through with, at least, a little bit more clarity than the average person.
Still, if it feels as though everything in the world is in crisis, that’s kinda because it is.
You’re not alone, and you’re not crazy.
When I’d first heard about Ra’s “prophecy” of the 2027 Evolution, I thought it was mumbo-jumbo. I didn’t dare tell anyone about it. They already thought I was whacky enough.
But it’s undeniable now that the shift is well under way. That it has been for quite a few years.
Covid. AI. Trump. Drone warfare.
An unprecedented spike in transgender identity. Higher consciousness. The resurfacing of ancient texts and teachings.
But change — evolution, transformation, transition or whatever you wanna call it — is only a matter of perspective.
It’s harder for some than for others.
Yes, we’re losing some stuff that we’ve all grown accustomed to. That we rely on. That we’ve built our lives around.
It feels like our way of existing is being yanked out from under us.
I don’t like it. Not one bit.
But let’s shift the prism.
Earth is undergoing a massive expansion of consciousness that has no precedent, as far as we know.
There is an evolutionary uplevel taking place right under our noses; one that we cannot control.
There’s no turning back to the way things were,
and that can be a very good thing for humankind.
Nevertheless, let’s not forget the important lessons we’ve learned over the past few centuries, which our ancestors had to figure out the hard way.
We must take what we know now, and all that we’ve experienced from before, into the future with us.
And we must stand strong.
Knowing thyself is the first step to building that essential inner strength.
“…To be correct as yourself is to be unique and to be one who is fulfilling the potential of their incarnation.”
—Ra Uru Hu
At least we have a clue as to how to do that, thanks to Ra Uru Hu tying this all together for us.
Our great-great-great-great-great-grandparents weren’t so lucky. And they underwent the exact same thing as we’re experiencing now. Ish.
I’ll get back to them in a sec.
Peeling Back the Purpose
If you’ve ever looked at your Human Design chart, and I hope to Gaia you have by now, you’ll have noticed a part of your free summary called your Incarnation Cross.
Your Incarnation Cross is best and most easily described as your goddamned life purpose.
It’s why you’re here.
Holy shit, could Ra have made this any easier for us?
There are something like 196 different permutations of Incarnation Crosses. And each of them is extremely unique.
Our Incarnation Cross is made up of four distinct energetic frequencies: two from the right side of the chart, or the Conscious, outward personality side; and two from the left side of the chart, or the Unconscious, under-the-hood, Design side.
As shown in this image:
Represented by numbers — which refer to the 64 Gates in Human Design and are derived from the 64 Keys of the I’Ching — these are the most powerful traits you carry.
These are the culmination of your Sun and Earth Gates.
Your Incarnation Cross is strong AF, potentially.
It’s an undeniable part of you.
And you’re meant to spend your lifetime practicing how to use each of these frequencies with mastery so that you can fulfill your purpose.
Like a young apprentice who’s learning how to wield a sword and, eventually, grows up to become a badass, slaying knight.
But we don’t all do that, do we...
A lot of us waste a shit-ton of time trying to live up to other people’s expectations. Do the things they tell us are important to do. And we fall off our path, so we never get the hang of wielding our magic swords the way we could…
Hit me up for a private reading if you’d like to learn how to use the four frequencies that make up your life purpose. But that’s not the point of today’s article.
I share this merely as a backdrop, because it’s foundational to understanding what I’m about to say next:
Earth has its own Incarnation Cross, just like you and I have, only its changes every 400 years or so.
2026 into 2027 is Earth’s next transformational deadline.
Let’s back up and see how this shit has unfolded heretofore.
1203-1614: The Cross of Consciousness
The early 1600’s closed out a ~400-year-long cycle of territorial expansion, new forms of government that commanded collective compliance, the Age of Discovery, the rise of Christianity with The Church as all-powerful ruler, a new calendar and even the advent of the clock.
It was encapsulated by the four energetic frequencies that make up the Incarnation Cross of Consciousness:
Gate 64, the Gate of Confusion/Before Completion
Gate 63, the Gate of Doubt/After Completion
Gate 35, the Gate of Change/Progress
Gate 5, the Gate of Fixed Rhythms
I could spend months talking about those but there are word-count limits for a reason.
1615-2026: The Cross of Planning
1615 arrived, however, with a bang, kicking off a brand-new ~400-year-long global era that we’re still in:
This one has been chockful of colonialism and scientific advancements, marking a shift away from communal living and toward single-family dwelling, where hard work and family values became the keys to community survival.
This current Incarnation Cross is what’s called the Cross of Planning.
It’s made up of the following four Gates:
Gate 40, the Gate of Aloneness/Deliverance
Gate 37, the Gate of Harmony/Family + Friendship
Gate 16, the Gate of Enthusiasm/Curiosity
Gate 9, the Gate of Focus/Taming Power of the Small
We’ll take some time to dissect these mofo’s in the coming weeks and months.
2027-2438: The Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix
As we steamroll toward 2027, we’re shepherding in an entirely new era; one where the Earth’s Incarnation Cross becomes the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix.
Can you feel it baby? I can, too.
This is a timeline where family values, as we know them, and the value of hard work as the key to survival, will be falling away.
So will the drive of colonialism and tiny-detail-level scientific discoveries (now that we know all about neutrinos and quarks?).
These ideals will be replaced by a drive to achieve elevated consciousness, emotional intelligence, greater intimacy, immensely powerful individuality, and in-the-moment inspiration.
The following Gates make up the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix:
Gate 55, the Gate of the Abundance of Spirit
Gate 59, the Gate of Sexuality
Gate 34, the Gate of Power
Gate 20, the Gate of Now/Contemplation
I think what I’d like to do is host a series of live conversations for us to collaboratively discuss each of these frequencies and how they’re shifting, in isolation.
I’ll share everything I know about them, but I’d like your input and your creative vision.
Let’s yap about how we’ve seen the Cross of Planning Gates show up in our own lives as individuals, and how their influences have made an impact across the Collective.
I’d love some input from history buffs!
And let’s discuss how we might be able to harness the highest vibrations of the Gates of the Sleeping Phoenix that we’re moving into, so that we can navigate this transition with awareness, clarity, preparedness and support.
Because I don’t have all the answers.
And, there’s more there there, as they say.
This update was a summary.
In the meantime, I’ll keep unpacking WTF was in Ra’s “prophecy” so I can share it with you in a way that hopefully makes sense, and we can gather as a community to brave this coming shift with our proverbial arms linked.
I’ll give you a heads up before I schedule a live, which will take place either here on Substack or over a Zoom call, so that you can be sure to jump into the convo.
Leave a comment if you’re interested in joining. The last thing I ever wanna do is host another live where zero attendees jump on. I hate talking to myself.
So let me know if you’re interested and I’ll book something on the calendar.
We got this, right?
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy;)
