Episode 86 · Collective Souls at a Turning Point

with astrologer, Human Design analyst, and author Daljeet Peterson

Imagine first bumping into Human Design in the middle of a dust storm at Burning Man… and then setting it aside for a decade until life brings it back around at exactly the right moment. In this episode, Daljeet shares how 25+ years of astrology, a spiritual name with a big message behind it, and a love of story all came together in his work as a practical mystic and cosmic storyteller.

We unpack how astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys can talk to each other, why your chart can feel “unfinished” until you see it through another lens, and how understanding generational cycles can turn frustration with “other generations” into compassion, context, and real conversation. We also talk about Daljeet’s new book, Collective Souls: Generations, Astrology, and the Future of America, and what it means to be born for these times.

• How Daljeet first met Human Design at Burning Man and came back to it ten years later

• What happens when astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys start mirroring each other

• Living as a 3/5 “martyr–heretic” and why trial-and-error is not a mistake, it is the path

• Godheads, chemistry, and working with rich archetypal story in Human Design

• Generational astrology, the U.S. Pluto return, and why this moment feels so intense

• Turning generational judgment into intergenerational conversation and shared purpose
