In Human Design, the “new year” doesn’t begin on January 1st—it begins when the Sun enters Gate 41, initiating a new annual experiential cycle in the transit field. For Rave New Year 2026, that moment arrives on January 22 (00:54 UTC)—and it sets the background frequency we’ll all be living in, collectively and personally, throughout the year ahead.

We’re pleased to share that Dharmen & Leela Swann-Herbert are back with the Rave New Year Forecast—now in its 14th year. Each year since 2012, they’ve offered a clear, grounded overview of the planetary transits at the Rave New Year moment, revealing the collective themes that shape the global field—without turning it into fear, fate, or fantasy.

This forecast is especially valuable if you want to understand the collective imprint you’re a part of—and how to stay aligned to what’s correct for you. In the illustrated transcript, Dharmen & Leela frame 2026 as a transitional year when the wheel of time is turning, and they map the global conditioning pattern for the year ahead—so you can observe the Program at work, instead of unconsciously reacting to it.

In this 1 hour 17 minute lecture (audio + classroom video + illustrated eBook transcript), you’ll explore:

• When the Rave New Year begins and why that imprint matters for the whole year
  

• The global conditioning pattern for 2026 and what it suggests about collective themes
  

• How to recognize the transit field’s impact through your own BodyGraph

• How to use awareness of the transits as a practical support for deconditioning—so you can meet the year with clearer perspective and better decisions
