This blog post is based on Episode 55 of The Pulse on Human Design. In it, Vickie explores the myth that “no one buys during the summer” and shares smart, aligned ways to stay visible—without burning out. If you’re a Human Design or astrology practitioner, summer might be the best time to work on the back end of your business and prep for a powerful fall season.

Why Most Practitioners Disappear in the Summer

Every summer, many Human Design and astrology practitioners step away from their business—not because they need deep rest, but because they believe no one buys in the summer. It’s a myth, and one that can hold your business back when fall comes around.

Your Business Reflects the Last 90 Days

Whatever actions you take now will shape your business 90 days from today. So what happens if you vanish in July and August? You’ll feel the slump in September, when it’s time to attract new clients, prep for Black Friday, and gear up for the end of the year.

Visibility Doesn’t Mean Burnout

This isn’t about working 24/7. It’s about staying visible in a way that aligns with your Human Design. Whether that’s through pre-scheduled posts, relaxed Instagram stories, or sharing small moments from your day—you get to decide what visibility looks like for you.

What to Share When You’re Not Launching

If you’re not actively selling, you can still share:

Behind-the-scenes peeks at how you use your own Human Design
Parenting, relationship, or wellness content tied to your niche
Simple how-to tips or tutorials
Stories from real life (with boundaries that feel good to you)
Mini photo dumps, polls, Q&As, or POV-style posts

Summer Is Gold for Prepping Funnels & Reports

Use this quieter season to update the reports you sell via Bodygraph.com, fine-tune your funnels, and revisit your email copy. This is the kind of work that sets up passive income later—so future you will thank you.

Behind-the-Scenes Work You Can Do

Update your sales and offer pages
Polish your “About Me” section or bio
Add new testimonials or case studies
Set up a scheduling system (like Calendly or Acuity)
Clean up outdated copy in your funnels
Start working on content for your fall launch

Plan Your Fall Schedule Now

If you want to work fewer hours in fall—or more intentionally—plan that now. Decide your ideal working days and block them in your calendar. Get your systems ready to support that vision, whether it’s a 4-day week or a renewed commitment to your business hours.

Summer Visibility Ideas

Use Instagram Stories for quick updates and engagement
Film short videos or carousels now and schedule them ahead
Show your creative process, your rest practices, or your rituals
Create micro content around Human Design or Astrology insights
