0:22
Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
0:26
I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and it's me and my lovely transit co host, Miss
0:32
Christina Luna, on her birthday Eve, sitting down with me to go over the
0:38
October transits, what we have in store for you for your cosmic weather, what
0:43
the universe has in store for all of us.
0:45
Christina, welcome back as always.
0:47
So lovely to have you here.
0:48
Thank you so much.
0:50
I feel so happy and excited to be doing this with you today, especially because
0:55
I just came off of a weekend where so many of your beautiful listeners came
1:00
up and told me that they listen to your podcast, they love your podcast, and they
1:03
actually listen to me on your podcast.
1:06
And I just felt so excited and thrilled that I get to
1:10
be on this platform with you.
1:11
And I'm so grateful for your listeners.
1:13
You have the most incredible listeners.
1:15
We have an amazing audience.
1:16
When I was at the Powerhouse Women event in August, I met a lot of people who came
1:20
up to me saying they listened to the show.
1:22
And I feel that all the time, and people reach out to me on Instagram and
1:25
stuff, and I'm always blown away by the level of beautiful, powerful, smart,
1:31
mostly women, there are men too, but just people who listen to this show.
1:35
And I'm so happy that you got to meet some, and that they
1:38
were giving you the love back.
1:40
Because of course they listen to you.
1:42
These are some of our most listened to episodes.
1:44
People love the transit episode.
1:46
Well, I just love that we're doing this, that we've continued to do this.
1:49
And it's definitely something I look forward to doing
1:52
with you every single month.
1:54
Me too.
1:55
And like I've said before, it's not the same without you.
1:57
And we were gonna do our little chit chat before, and you were like, let's
2:00
just hit record because let's just have this conversation on the show.
2:04
And I think that that's probably really good advice.
2:07
So, what are you feeling for October?
2:10
Is there anything you wanted to say about how September has gone so far
2:13
or the day we're recording this is right after the full moon last night.
2:16
And I have definitely felt that energy.
2:19
I went back and listened to September's episode the other day because I was
2:23
getting all these things from clients and I was feeling these things.
2:25
And I was like, I'm going to listen back to hear what Christina was saying.
2:29
And then kind of what I was reflecting on.
2:31
And.
2:32
Yeah, to like the day, the emotions, the full moon energy, everything that we
2:37
talked about, I have felt the entire time.
2:40
And it was very supportive to me to be able to go back to that and listen to
2:45
that through and support myself with that.
2:48
But how are you feeling?
2:49
What are you feeling about what's going on and what's to come?
2:52
I can't say I also looked back because wow, it's been quite an intense month
2:57
for me in some really low lows because I've been shedding a lot of what feels
3:03
like an old version of myself or an old version of the way I've related.
3:07
And that shedding has felt deep, like layers and layers deep, but I also have
3:13
experienced the intensity of what's available when the real gem of my
3:18
authentic self is more clearly defined and exposed, more easily able to be expressed.
3:25
And so there has been a lot of intensity, but it's felt really worth it.
3:28
And having the context of where we've been, which from the sounds of
3:33
it, it sounds like almost everyone I talked to said that they went
3:37
through a valley through the summer.
3:39
They went through this valley of contraction or this cave of reflection or
3:44
this season of quiet, the slowing down.
3:48
And we slowed down and we cleared out and we showed up to September.
3:52
And I feel that September, the sensation I have about it when I think about it
3:55
is, if you ever go to like a spa or a bathhouse, how they'll like scrub all your
4:01
skin off and it seems a little abrasive.
4:03
They're like, we're gonna shine this jewel up so bright and shiny, but
4:08
it might be a little uncomfortable and if you could stick in it,
4:11
we promise you won't regret it.
4:13
But that's how September is felt.
4:15
And the eclipse also felt like this beautiful window, and we talked about
4:20
this in the September transit report.
4:22
This window of, yes, but look at how much more there is for you.
4:27
Yes, you've released so much!
4:29
Yes!
4:30
There are so many things that have changed, but look at what is in front of
4:35
you, all the things that are possible.
4:37
And I think that that glimpse was so important.
4:40
And it's so interesting that we're recording just the day
4:42
after that because October opens up with a solar eclipse in Libra.
4:47
It's like the promise that of the new seed that that lunar eclipse revealed
4:52
saying yes and you get to define what your relationships look like going forward.
4:57
You get to define how you show up what it feels like.
5:01
What it feels balanced for you.
5:03
You get to decide that and that's what october opens with.
5:06
So i honestly feel really optimistic about October.
5:11
I believe there's still work to do.
5:13
I believe there's still some shifts to Pivot on and I feel like September
5:18
properly prepared us to do that from a clear grounded and excited place
5:24
Yeah, you know, I look at the calendar and then in September for me, what came
5:28
through, it was my birthday, so I was looking at like, my solar return cycle.
5:34
chart for human design.
5:35
I was sort of looking at the year ahead of what that lays out for me.
5:39
And I really did have this like beautiful, peaceful weekend for
5:42
myself, just sort of reflecting on the last year and sitting in my energy,
5:46
you know, my gate 64, like my land.
5:49
And then shifting into, okay, well, what does this year look like?
5:52
And it is funny how that day felt different to me than the next day.
5:56
This information and what I was able to see with the heightened emotions of
6:01
Gate 6 coming through, we're gonna go into Gate 46 which is, we're shifting
6:06
over into a new kind of identity to me with that, which is sort of
6:11
about really leading with experience.
6:14
And to me, there's something about committing with our energy here.
6:17
I saw a lot of rockiness in the people around me.
6:21
I've had clients writing me being like, what's going on?
6:24
I feel all of this and I'm happy I'm able to point them to this stuff.
6:28
I'm like, well listen to the episode and actually hear that
6:29
we're right in the pocket of this.
6:31
Can you hang here?
6:33
And can you see what comes out of it?
6:34
And then them understanding that and being able to come
6:37
out on the other side is huge.
6:39
So I'm very optimistic for this too because I can see in October, and October
6:45
with human design, it's every single gate that we transit through is in the
6:49
spleen, and the spleen gates are all about in the low frequency or all about fear.
6:55
So, I want to call out to everybody, and as we go through it.
6:58
How you look at October and how you experience October is absolutely
7:03
going to rest upon your ability to not get caught in the fear.
7:09
To walk with fear, to me, that I don't know what it holds for anybody or
7:13
what this means for you, but if you start to feel fearful, the lesson
7:18
with the spleen and the lesson with all of this stuff is just always that
7:22
on the other side of fear, the other side of that same coin is courage.
7:27
And if you can sit in it and you can feel it and not move out of the fear.
7:34
Not look to try to, even some of the things you were talking about what you've
7:36
been going through and going through some of these lows to not be at the mercy of
7:41
them, where you're just trying to shake them off so that you can not feel them
7:46
anymore or feeling crippled by them.
7:49
If you're just able to sit in them and feel what's there.
7:53
And to me, the lessons are always, can you find the courage on the other side of it?
7:58
Can you see this as an opportunity to walk with fear?
8:02
To learn how to find your strength in those moments of fear.
8:06
That's been my lesson.
8:07
I have a ton of spleen gait activations in my chart.
8:11
So that's just a place that I've had to master.
8:14
And I've had to learn to walk with fear because fear is consistent for me.
8:18
Fear is something I feel all the time and I was at the mercy of it for a long time.
8:23
I let it stop me.
8:25
So for me, there's this buildup.
8:27
It feels like in September and then October is going
8:31
to be make or break to me.
8:33
And it's going to be determined by how you view what you're feeling.
8:37
Do you let it stop you or do you allow, and I'll go through the
8:42
fears you know, we go into fear of inadequacy, Am I good enough?
8:45
Fear of the future.
8:46
What if it doesn't work out?
8:48
Fear of failure.
8:49
Oh my God, what if I do it and I suck?
8:53
What if nobody buys?
8:54
Fear of responsibility.
8:55
What if they do buy and I can't deliver?
8:57
Fear of purposelessness.
8:59
Is this really even worth it?
9:01
Fear of the past repeating itself.
9:02
Oh my God, but I had that terrible client and I had those things
9:05
that happened in the past.
9:06
What if that happens again?
9:07
Oh my God, I burnt out before and I'm a projector.
9:10
And what if I take on clients and then I just give and give and give and I
9:14
find that I am burnt out all over again.
9:16
If you have that internal dialogue going on, if you notice that, come
9:20
back here, listen to this again, and recognize that it's the background
9:25
frequency that's feeding this.
9:27
Don't take the bait.
9:29
Those are all the voices.
9:31
I love that you're talking about October and fear because there are some
9:34
astrological situations this Libra season that are specifically addressing fear
9:41
that are unique to this year, even though human design gates are always this way.
9:46
The astrology this year is Perfectly aligned for us to
9:50
face those fears in a new way.
9:52
I spoke last week and I did the keynote talk where I actually
9:55
addressed this gatekeeper that.
9:58
addresses our fear.
9:59
And for anyone who wants to watch that, if you DM whatever, however,
10:03
Nicole, you do that, I'll DM you the recording for that talk.
10:07
But basically, the, big takeaway is, there is a gatekeeper.
10:11
That will reveal all of your fears to you and speaks the language of those
10:17
fears and I'm so happy you listed them.
10:19
And that gatekeeper is actually someone we really need to have a good
10:23
relationship with because what she's actually trying to do is help you to
10:28
cultivate the courage to walk through those fears before you access more power.
10:36
There's so much power on the other side of these fear gates.
10:40
And if you do not have the courage to cross over through that fear, you
10:45
will very carefully not also give you the power that you could have
10:50
used to use the fear with the power.
10:53
It's like this beautiful, beautiful network of openings and closings
10:58
that protect us from having too much power, having the power that would
11:02
actually ride on the fear and in some ways derail what we are doing here.
11:07
So the gatekeeper is reminding you, have you cultivated the
11:11
courage to cross this gate?
11:12
Because there's so much power, I just want to make sure you feel
11:15
courageous enough to yield it.
11:17
Wield it?
11:18
Wield it.
11:18
Wield it.
11:21
got you.
11:22
and I do think that fear is, it's something to be like, if you can
11:26
witness it to me, like anything else, like any of the shadows, can you see
11:30
it as something that comes up for you?
11:34
Can you see it when it comes up and not think that it's so real?
11:37
Can you just see it as a visitor?
11:39
Can you just see it as, oh, there you are again, hello
11:42
old friend, how have you been?
11:44
I'm not going on this walk with you, because there's a saying out there, you
11:48
know, can you learn to walk with fear?
11:50
And I think that's one of the great lessons of doing this type of work,
11:53
astrology, working with the design gates, working with human design.
11:57
One of my biggest lessons that I got out of this, and I continue to get.
12:01
is that you will never make a shadow go away.
12:04
It will never be gone.
12:05
It is the low frequency of a thing.
12:09
Nothing will ever only be in high frequency.
12:11
The entire frequency band will always exist.
12:15
It's what do you do when you slip into or you shift into the lower frequency?
12:21
Do you freak out?
12:23
Do you stay there?
12:24
Because freaking out will keep you there longer.
12:26
Or, do you say, Oh, I feel like this has drifted off and you're able
12:30
to pull yourself back on course.
12:32
You'll never make fear go away.
12:34
It is a natural thing in life.
12:37
It's your relationship to fear that can be changed.
12:40
And that's all we can hope for.
12:42
And the potential is always courage on the other side of it.
12:46
It is great courage.
12:48
The fear of the future comes from gate 57 to say like, well, I don't know what
12:52
will happen if I walk down that path.
12:55
That's the fear of the future.
12:56
That's the low frequency.
12:58
The high frequency of that is intuition, which intuition says,
13:02
whatever happens, we've got you.
13:05
We'll know if it's really not safe.
13:08
We'll know if you have to change course.
13:10
And if you do have to change course, we'll know what to do.
13:13
You don't have to have it perfectly planned out.
13:15
So you have to trust in that gift more than you fear the shadow.
13:20
So that's what I take away from this lesson.
13:23
I feel like October is just a big lesson.
13:25
It is sort of a gym for us in exercising our courage muscles.
13:30
And October always shows me a little bit of what I'm made of.
13:33
Yeah, as it should, because this is the beginning of a co
13:37
creative manifesting cycle.
13:40
And for some of us who especially identify as like, I can do this myself.
13:45
It takes a lot of courage to show up and actually co create in a
13:49
balanced way with another person.
13:51
And what we create is intimacy, and intimacy is, for some people,
13:56
some of the scariest things.
13:57
It's the most transformative things.
13:59
It's some of the most powerful things, and that intimacy leads to revelation.
14:04
And so we're beginning a process where we're learning how to trust
14:08
others in that co creative process.
14:10
And trusting them to collaborate more deeply in intimacy so
14:15
that we can learn something new about what life's really about.
14:18
So, let's go into it.
14:19
Let's go into October.
14:20
Let's talk about it.
14:21
So let's talk about it.
14:22
Let's kick off by giving everybody just we're going into Libra season.
14:26
So tell everybody a little bit about Libra and what that means from a higher level.
14:30
From a higher perspective, Libra is the time where we
14:34
feel that there's an equation.
14:36
There's an equation in our lives.
14:38
We have become a complete and whole person through Virgo season.
14:42
From Aries to Virgo, we have learned who we are, we've learned what
14:46
we value, we've learned how we communicate to get those values met.
14:51
We learn how to relate to our emotional self.
14:54
And we learn how to create in the world, and then we bring it all
14:56
together to feel complete and whole.
14:59
Then we take that whole, and we put an equal sign.
15:03
And there's another hole on the other side of the equal sign,
15:07
and we want to balance that.
15:09
We want to open up its cardinal air.
15:12
We want to be curious about this equation.
15:15
And so, it's a time where we enter into the gates of what
15:19
relating actually is about.
15:21
And if we've really become individuated, we will learn that I'm
15:26
a whole and you're a whole, and I can be curious about your whole your
15:34
Not curious about your whole, your whole being,
15:38
You're whole being.,
15:39
You're whole family.
15:40
and I'm not entering into this relationship to try and get my needs
15:45
met or to try and fill my own holes.
15:48
I'm actually entering into this relationship with curiosity
15:52
about what's possible.
15:53
And so that's what Libra season ideally is all about.
15:57
Now, the human process is, especially this year, the human process is complex.
16:03
And this year we've got a South Node in Libra, and we also have
16:07
a Black Moon Lilith in Libra.
16:09
So we are going to be facing this year, the final release of different roles
16:14
and patterns we've had in relationship that simply are not part of the process.
16:18
who we are now.
16:19
And so there's this final release, final shedding.
16:23
So, of course, as we release and shed, we will encounter.
16:26
opportunities to feel the old ways again.
16:30
So when we encounter those opportunities, we could feel a little fear.
16:33
And that is an opportunity to do a little process and say,
16:37
is this actually who I am now?
16:39
Which there could be some black moon Lilith.
16:42
There could be some shame.
16:43
There could be some fear, some resistance to actually acknowledging
16:47
the truth of who we really are now.
16:49
And I wanted to really start that like up front.
16:52
it's not uncomfortable to absolutely tell the truth of who you are all the time.
16:58
And I have identified there's three pillars of the new
17:01
paradigm of relationship.
17:02
And the very first one is absolute truth and authenticity with yourself,
17:07
really acknowledging what that truth is.
17:09
We're on the cusp of the second pillar, which is sharing that truth with someone
17:14
who you're vulnerably connected with.
17:16
That is sometimes terrifying.
17:19
And the very last pillar is what we'll experience in Scorpio season,
17:23
where we release attachment to any way that that vulnerable
17:27
relationship receives our truth.
17:29
We release attachment to what will come.
17:32
And so the reason why some of this fear is coming up is because we a
17:35
long time ago may have traded our authenticity for our attachments.
17:41
Yeah.
17:41
And this is a time where our authenticity must be as important
17:46
as our attachments, if not more.
17:48
I do feel like, as we approach 2027, as we're approaching a lot
17:51
of these bigger cosmic changes that are happening collectively.
17:54
There's always this underlying piece of authenticity.
17:57
We're constantly being called on such a deeper and stronger level these days
18:01
to our own individuality, to our own sense of self, and to being true to
18:06
that above all the other things that we have maybe put above that in the past.
18:11
So I love when you put these smaller pieces, these moments in
18:14
time and this is kind of the stage that we're at in that process.
18:18
Now you mentioned Black Moon Lilith.
18:20
We haven't talked about that on the show.
18:21
Can you tell everybody just a little bit about what Black Moon
18:24
Lilith is, what it represents, and what they need to know about it?
18:28
Absolutely.
18:29
Black Moon Lilith is an archetype that I am very passionate about.
18:32
I've studied this deeply.
18:34
And the reason why is I actually believe this is one of the subconscious
18:38
archetypes that protects our power.
18:41
I believe that Black Moon Lilith is the gatekeeper.
18:44
She's the one that's creating all of the internal resistance
18:48
to becoming fully expressed.
18:51
And it starts when we're little, anytime we thought that
18:55
we were loved conditionally.
18:57
And we learned how to adjust so that we could be loved through those conditions.
19:02
We created a little reservoir inside of us that contained all of the
19:06
personality traits and behaviors that would not allow us to be loved.
19:10
And then that little reservoir, because we're not accepting that part of
19:14
ourselves, gets projected away from us.
19:16
We are not that.
19:17
That is not us.
19:19
And it's almost like we're trying to push a beach ball underwater.
19:23
We spend a lot of energy pushing down these aspects of ourselves, and it
19:27
takes two hands and a lot of focused attention to keep that beach ball down.
19:32
But when we learn how to have a relationship with Black Moon Lilith
19:35
and bring that little tiny reservoir of information to the surface
19:39
with acceptance and awareness.
19:41
It's like we get to release the beach ball, and both of our hands
19:45
are free to live and express.
19:47
And so she changes signs.
19:49
It's actually not a planetary body.
19:52
It's a calculation that has to do with the distance between the Moon and the Earth.
19:57
And so, it's, kind of a strange little calculation for astrology.
20:01
However, the archetype herself is very, very real, and she's very, very present
20:06
in our lives, and there are like six different ways she expresses for people,
20:10
and there's a whole masterclass I created on that, that's free on my website, if
20:14
people are interested in learning more, but for this period of time, this season,
20:18
she's in Libra, and so anytime we have suppressed our truest and most authentic
20:25
expression in order to have harmonious relationship, in order to keep the peace.
20:31
If you've ever said to yourself, Oh, I guess I'll just go with it
20:34
because I don't want to have the aftermath of blah, blah, blah, blah.
20:37
Like if you've ever just had that feeling where you're like,
20:40
Oh, I'm just going to say yes.
20:42
Because you don't want to have the conversation or you don't want to
20:45
make waves or tip over the apple cart.
20:47
That's gonna be a Black Moon Lilith and Libra thing.
20:50
It's where we left some power on the table because we just didn't want to
20:54
deal with the discomfort of the truth.
20:56
And so definitely coming up for us in this month.
20:59
It's been here all year.
21:00
It's been here for some time.
21:02
But it will feel it even more because the sun's going to cross over this area now.
21:06
So what you just said about not voicing your truth because it's uncomfortable
21:10
or, I guess like acquiescing to whatever is happening because you don't want
21:14
to have the difficult conversation.
21:15
You don't want to be in an uncomfortable place.
21:17
You're just like, ah, you know, I'll deal with that later.
21:19
For anybody who's not an emotional authority, this will apply to you.
21:23
That is the not self of the open solar plexus.
21:26
The not self is to avoid confrontation and truth, is what it does.
21:31
Because I would rather stay in the job that I hate, or not ask my boss
21:36
for a raise or not have that difficult conversation with that client or whatever.
21:42
Because it feels really uncomfortable.
21:44
I don't want the emotional situation that comes with that.
21:46
So i'll live with the outward discomfort rather than deal with
21:51
that particular relationship.
21:52
Usually a very relationship driven discomfort.
21:55
So I wanted to call that out because what you spoke about was very specifically,
21:59
the people who have open solar plexuses.
22:01
You're gonna be even more susceptible to that because that is your go
22:05
to and so often, I have people come to me where they're like
22:08
No, no, I don't do that anymore.
22:10
I've worked through my solar plexus and then as we're working together, I can call
22:15
out the moments where I'm like, you're avoiding confrontation and truth here.
22:19
And when you do that, you're not in alignment with your sacral or with
22:24
whatever your actual authority is.
22:27
You're not really in alignment with your truth, however you're finding that.
22:30
But on this show we talk about human design mostly.
22:33
You're not following your strategy and authority because you're
22:36
letting the tail wag the dog.
22:38
You are giving in to the conditioning of something, so
22:42
you are saying no to your truth.
22:44
So this is a time for everybody to be on the lookout for that, for everybody to,
22:48
all of us, but certainly those people, if you've got a white solar plexus on
22:52
your chart, then you're really going to want to pay attention to that because
22:55
this is going to be something that you do naturally, that your energy wants
22:58
to go into that conditioning pattern.
23:00
And you're also going to have the cosmic energies of the time pushing
23:05
you in that direction as well or urging you to take that bait as well.
23:08
You know, I saw the funniest video today of a series of children in a house of
23:13
mirrors and they just kept running.
23:16
Every time you hear, whoa, whoa, whoa, don't run.
23:18
And then they slam into the mirror
23:20
Yeah.
23:21
Over and over.
23:22
It's comical.
23:22
And also, oh, these poor kids, but honestly, this is what labor
23:27
season is going to be like.
23:28
We're going to be running into these mirrors over and over and over because
23:33
whatever's on 1 side of the equal sign.
23:36
We're going to attract the exact opposite.
23:38
So to the degree that we're not fully expressing the truth, we'll
23:42
have an equation on the other side that's also expressing not
23:47
completely aligned with the truth.
23:49
And so, anything we hide on one side, we're going to see it hidden or expressed
23:54
uncomfortably on the other side.
23:56
So it's really a time where you get to test your creatorship through
24:01
your personal relationships.
24:02
So the best thing we can do is just pay really close attention to the house of
24:06
mirrors that we're in and proceed slowly.
24:09
We're always trying to find our pace, right?
24:11
One of the things that has been a big growth point for me is to feel
24:14
like I don't need to be running hard all the time, but I also, if
24:18
I run hard, I also don't need to dead stop at the end of that either.
24:23
That finding like a steady pace in life of not making anything too big of a
24:30
deal, but also never stepping away too much where I feel like I'm disconnecting
24:36
and I'm numbing out that way.
24:38
That's sort of another thing that's calling me here because when I think
24:40
of October and all of this fear.
24:42
It's so easy to want to run and hide.
24:44
It's so easy and if you're not hiding in fear, I see a lot of people.
24:50
It's the discomfort of the fear can cause them to take very frantic
24:54
action, trying to fix things, trying to fix the way they feel.
24:58
And bad shit usually comes from that.
25:01
No one's usually happy with the results that they get from that
25:04
action that they're taking.
25:06
From that fearful place of either running away from it or just so uncomfortable with
25:11
sitting in it that they can't sit still.
25:14
So they take this frantic action to try to make themselves feel better.
25:19
And then that's going to screw you up for November and for the
25:23
close of the year, which should feel very different than that.
25:27
November's always like, I dig Scorpio season.
25:30
So I'm like, I love this whole tail end of the year.
25:33
I have a lot of my energy sits in this place.
25:37
So I usually feel really good.
25:38
This is normally like a really fun time for me.
25:40
I feel like the year is sort of culminating and I like that energy.
25:45
It's never over.
25:46
It's like we're going to do it again.
25:47
There's nothing sad about it.
25:48
It's we get a chance to do it again.
25:50
We don't get one shot at this life.
25:52
We get one shot at this year, but you get another year next year.
25:55
We get to do it again and we get to do it better.
25:57
So what are your final thoughts on October and what people should take away.
26:02
Is there anything that you want to like, leave everybody with?
26:05
Or you're like, this is just sort of a nugget that's coming through.
26:07
Okay, so the first one is the solar eclipse.
26:10
on the second.
26:11
That is going to be the seed that we plant for the new type of
26:15
relationship that we want to invest in.
26:18
And that's a relationship with our own authenticity and how
26:21
that creates the material on the other side of the equal sign.
26:25
Another really strong day is going to be the eighth, and the eighth
26:28
is going to be a moment where we really start to understand how
26:33
the openings in new relationship can actually come into harmony.
26:37
I think there'll be some helpful aspects.
26:40
We'll have a lot of emotions that are driving our behaviors.
26:44
We'll have a lot of understanding with Mercury and Jupiter in a
26:47
trine, and we're going to be able to approach our wounds from a completely
26:52
different place with more information.
26:55
And that's going to then lead us into a moment where Pluto begins
27:00
moving direct again on the 11th.
27:02
That direct motion comes immediately with some information on the 13th.
27:07
The 13th and 14th are the other pieces that are going to be
27:10
really important to slow down.
27:12
I think that will be, if we're going to hit a mirror hard, that'll
27:15
be the moment we hit the mirror.
27:17
And so, if you can slow down, and try to allow yourself to
27:22
just say- what is this teaching me right now?
27:25
Mm.
27:26
What am I learning about right now?
27:28
So that's around the 13th, 14th.
27:31
Yeah,
27:32
The 14th, we shift into gate 32.
27:34
So just to give the human design bend on that moment in time.
27:38
Gate 32 is known as the gate of continuity.
27:41
What this is really about, this is that fear of failure.
27:44
The gate of continuity, what it really means is what do we need to survive?
27:50
And what don't we need?
27:51
What can go?
27:52
And what's truly necessary for us to not just survive, but thrive?
27:57
And to be able to look at things, to not slip into that fear of failure,
28:01
to not slip into like, oh my god, it's all falling apart, because people with
28:05
gate 32 can certainly go into that just like, we're doomed sort of energy.
28:11
Don't try to resist that or to notice what's there and recognize that this
28:16
energy also gives us the ability to really see a way forward and what
28:21
truly needs to be taken with us on that path of What's really important?
28:26
What does that really look like?
28:27
So that's the human design angle on this piece and that like
28:31
middle of the month moment.
28:32
Yeah, maybe we should kind of go week by week on some of the way
28:36
that those gates are presenting.
28:38
Like for instance, the first week of October is something that I would
28:42
consider like the two of swords.
28:45
And I actually call this the integrity field dance.
28:49
So when we have the two of swords or the two of air, it's a moment for us
28:53
to be in our integrity and understand that will create a dance with the other.
28:59
And so that's the energy of that first week.
29:02
And that's when we have that solar eclipse.
29:04
And then the second week is the three of swords.
29:07
Now the three of swords is typically a more painful moment.
29:12
When we pull that in the tarot, we're always like, Ooh, that has these
29:17
three swords going through that heart.
29:19
And I actually call this week, the week of being vulnerable and complete.
29:24
I think what this week is actually asking us to do is to really open up to
29:29
completely, vulnerably accept our heart.
29:33
I think the temptation here is to feel the pain of vulnerability.
29:37
And to try to cut back, cut the other.
29:40
And the thing I always try to remember myself this week is, do not use the pain
29:44
I have in my heart to cut the other.
29:47
Use it to cut my heart open more And then now we get to that gate you just
29:52
discussed around the 13th and 14th.
29:54
And I call that the four of swords and for this one I really use this
29:58
week to tap into my internal wisdom.
30:01
For some of us this feels like we get to a little bit of a stalemate.
30:05
We get to a point where it feels like we're between a rock and a
30:08
hard place or we we don't know what decision we're going to make now.
30:12
And it's a time to pause and really get into that internal wisdom.
30:17
And understand that if we still ourselves, the truth and the decision
30:22
and the way we want to progress, it will surface from inside.
30:26
I love that.
30:27
That first week what I'm looking at.
30:28
The first week is gate 48, the gate of depth.
30:31
And that is the potential.
30:33
If you can not look at your inadequacy, if you can not be so afraid that you're
30:37
not enough, you'll actually find that you have great depth, but it takes
30:42
some real acceptance of yourself.
30:44
And there is some bit of mastery.
30:47
This have to say like, do I feel inadequate because I haven't
30:49
gone deep enough on something?
30:51
It asks that question.
30:53
And a lot of people won't truly answer it, they just stay in the
30:57
fear rather than realizing that if they went deeper with something.
31:01
The lesson with this is always about learning, it is about having
31:05
a depth of knowledge, it is a logical part of our energy.
31:09
It's a logical gate.
31:10
There's some that are logical, some that are more abstract.
31:12
This is logical energy that says well then maybe you just need to practice some more.
31:17
Maybe you just need a little bit more experience.
31:19
Maybe you just need to test this out a little bit more.
31:22
I'm gonna get a little sassy here, but rather than just crying in your
31:26
cornflakes and talking about how you're not enough and shutting down, that
31:31
is not at all how you overcome this.
31:33
You might actually just pick up another book or show up to another thing or apply
31:38
yourself a little bit more and find all the courage you ever needed in this area.
31:44
So you have to ask better questions.
31:46
That's what opens up for me at the start of the month is just where
31:50
are you, where do you have depth and where could you go deeper?
31:53
Where are you not feeling strong enough?
31:55
Where are you not feeling adequate?
31:57
Where are you not feeling like you're enough?
31:59
And then is that real or is that something where you just haven't
32:02
really applied yourself potentially?
32:04
I had to look in that mirror pretty hard.
32:07
I have this gate, I have this channel.
32:09
And that had to be something that I really took a look at.
32:11
And I was like, no, I actually kind of phoned it in a little bit and
32:14
I really didn't go deep enough.
32:17
And what happens if I do?
32:19
And you know what I found?
32:20
I found courage at the bottom of that well.
32:22
I found my strength.
32:24
So that to me, whenever I see Gate 48, it's just like, ooh, your depth
32:28
is deeply tied to your how deep you go with the things that you care about
32:33
or the things that you're afraid of.
32:34
Knowledge is power.
32:36
Practice makes perfect.
32:37
it's not sexy, but it is the cornerstone of expertise and it is the cornerstone
32:43
of us really being able to shine like our particular light out there.
32:47
So that's going to be that energy.
32:48
You're either going to fall into that fear of like, I'm just not enough, or you're
32:51
going to find the courage that it's like, no, but I could do something about that.
32:54
That beginning of the month, it's very much about going deep with yourself to
32:58
me, and then around the 8th, where you were talking about the other shift, you
33:01
go into the 8th, you hit that intuition.
33:03
It's about trusting yourself.
33:06
It's about being able to say I'm connected to my own inner clarity and I trust.
33:11
The spleen is something to be talked about since this is
33:14
like the month of the spleen.
33:16
Where the spleen is our primal awareness center.
33:19
It is the center that says it's safe or it's not, don't go down that dark
33:23
alley or you shouldn't be going here.
33:26
It's the, instinct that just turns your car in a direction and you don't know why.
33:31
And then you realize there was an accident if you had gone your usual way home.
33:36
That's the spleen.
33:36
It doesn't explain itself.
33:38
You just have to trust it.
33:40
That second week to me is about trust.
33:42
The 57th gate is the deepest connection to that trust, to that inner intuition that
33:47
says, if, I just trust what my instincts are, there is no future to fear.
33:52
There's nothing to fear about it because I'm always being led.
33:56
The only time I can get in trouble is if I overthink it
33:59
and try to over engineer this.
34:01
So there's a lot of trust in that beginning.
34:03
And trusting yourself and then trusting in your intuition to lead you.
34:07
And then the end of the month, do you see anything, are there aspects
34:10
at the end of the month that are important to mention to our people?
34:14
Yes well the week of the 20th is a week where we transition into water.
34:19
We transition into the five of cups, and this is a time when we could be
34:23
fixated on the cups that have spilled, but there are two cups that we can drink
34:29
from that are full and ready for us.
34:32
And we have a sun squaring Pluto in that week on the 22nd, and
34:36
we have Mercury trining Saturn.
34:39
So what this means is that we'll have some maturity.
34:42
about what it takes for us to stack up the emotional maturity that we've cultivated
34:49
and move into deeper felt experiences.
34:54
And so it's like a time where we're like, okay.
34:56
I'm done.
34:56
Enough of this grieving.
34:58
Enough of this space of feeling loss, or this space of feeling lost.
35:02
I'm going to pack it up, and I'm going to move on.
35:04
And then beautifully, the month ends with the six of water, which are about the
35:09
sweet moments, the sweet present moments.
35:12
And I think that only through the journey of this month do we actually
35:17
start to open to all of the tiny sweet moments that are always available to us.
35:24
It moves from the space of the mind and analysis and deciding and it
35:28
moves to this place of like, Whoa, I get to drink this up in my life.
35:33
I get to receive this and this last week can feel nostalgic.
35:38
It can feel like bittersweet in some ways.
35:42
I always love that.
35:42
It's so worth it to walk through the swords of our mental prison as we get to
35:48
these last couple of weeks of the month.
35:50
Well, and I think what's interesting there, so the 20th, we're in gate
35:53
50, which is the gate of values, which is the fear of responsibility.
35:56
Oh my God, this is really important, but oh my God, what if I can't live up to it?
36:00
But that 28th gate, that talking about it was all worth it.
36:03
28 is the gate of the game player.
36:05
It's known as it's really a gate of taking risks.
36:08
And this is that fear of what if it all isn't worth it?
36:12
What if it's nothing's worth it.
36:14
What if it's all just bullshit?
36:15
There is no purpose to this life.
36:17
That's like the deep, dark, ugly shadow of Gate 28.
36:22
But I think that, what you're speaking to is that higher gift of it, which is
36:25
to say like, no, purpose is everything.
36:28
It all has meaning.
36:30
All of this crap that we've gone through, everything that we've walked
36:35
through, It made me closer to my purpose, not further away from it.
36:39
If you pay attention, that's the lesson.
36:41
So, I love when these things jive.
36:43
It's sort of like just slightly different languages that we're speaking about the
36:46
same things because, and guys, what I want you to take away from this is that
36:49
this is what we're all gonna be feeling.
36:51
You're not crazy.
36:53
So, even just talking about, to somebody that doesn't even have to know about this
36:57
stuff, about how you feel, you're probably going to hear them say like, me too.
37:01
Which there's safety in numbers.
37:02
It's nice to hear that this is just the music that we're
37:06
all dancing to at this time.
37:08
So knowing what the beat is can really help you stay with the rhythm of
37:14
the dance, to know the steps, to be able to keep up with everybody else,
37:18
and to feel good at the end of the night, like you had a good time, and
37:21
not feel like you got tossed by a tidal wave at the end of the month.
37:26
This is an opportunity October to really be able to set yourself up.
37:31
To finish the end of the year, not just strong, but as we shift into the fourth
37:37
quarter, so that human design fourth quarter of, it's about transformation.
37:41
That is what it's about.
37:42
That's what we're all working toward from the beginning of the year to the end.
37:46
We start with an idea.
37:48
We start with thoughts.
37:49
We start with ideas and inspiration.
37:51
We start putting plans in motion.
37:54
We start to build relationships around these things and get it out in the world.
37:57
And then ultimately at the end, it's about, what changed in us?
38:02
What did we mutate and transform into?
38:05
What did we shift?
38:07
And you can't shift, I feel like this is sort of that rite of passage, moving
38:11
us to, because you can't shift without overcoming your fear, and without
38:15
overcoming and learning to walk with a lot of these energies that we're going to be
38:19
walking through, these lessons that we're going to be walking through in October.
38:23
So I hope that this helps every single person listening feel really
38:27
prepared to walk hard and walk strong with their head high and to see what
38:31
needs to be seen to grow and transform for this year and just in general.
38:37
Do you have anything that you wanted to close with, or you wanted to make sure
38:40
that you said before, before we end?
38:42
I think just the last piece you said about how sometimes it feels like despair when
38:46
we realize that nothing means anything.
38:50
The gift in that is that we get to make everything mean,
38:53
all the things, everything.
38:55
And so, I love that you brought that up because I always get to that
38:58
place during this week where I get to decide what means something to me.
39:02
And that is essentially where it's leading because then we get to create
39:07
from what is meaningful for us.
39:09
And that's the gift that comes from this month.
39:11
I love that you said that, that you actually reminded me of something I was
39:14
going to put in my group to say to one of my clients, because it's one of my
39:17
favorite things from a course in miracles.
39:19
There's an exercise in there.
39:20
Nothing has any meaning except the meaning that I put on it.
39:24
Perfect, that's it.
39:25
Exercise right there, like nothing.
39:27
So let's leave them with that.
39:29
Let's leave you guys with that.
39:30
Nothing has any meaning except the meaning that you put on it.
39:33
If you can hold that in your heart and put that into your experience and
39:36
into your awareness walking through.
39:38
