- 1:34Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
- 1:38I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and it's me and the lovely Christina Luna here
- 1:43for you today, bringing you your Cosmic Weather Report for September.
- 1:47We're very excited to bring it to you because it is Virgo season, and we are
- 1:51two Virgos here to deliver to you the message of our birth month, September.
- 1:56I'm so excited.
- 1:57Happy almost birthday to you.
- 1:59Happy almost birthday to you too.
- 2:01I love September.
- 2:02It feels like the absolute most perfect month of the entire year.
- 2:08I know, I was saying to, before we started recording, I was like, I feel so
- 2:12at home in this energy, but I absolutely felt that shift at the end of August.
- 2:18Like around that 21st of August when we were shifting from Leo into Virgo,
- 2:23that was a very emotional week for me.
- 2:26That hit me hard.
- 2:27And I wanted to bring that up because it hit so many of my clients hard.
- 2:31We had a lot of like, in our telegram chat for my business by design mentorship
- 2:35people, there was a lot of just like, Oh, and I remember I'm in Whole Foods
- 2:40and I'm writing this big, long t text to my telegram chat saying, Guys, I know
- 2:46that things feel a bit crazy right now.
- 2:49Can you hang out before you pass judgment on what's happening?
- 2:52This is a very emotional week.
- 2:54We are in a super duper emotional time right now.
- 2:58this week.
- 2:59Can you hang out for just a couple of days, and I'm not telling you that
- 3:02your feelings aren't real, but can you put a pin in it for just a couple
- 3:06of days and see if you feel like you need to burn it all to the ground and
- 3:10everything is really going to shit.
- 3:12See if you feel that way in a couple of days.
- 3:14Talk to me on Thursday and let me know how you feel.
- 3:17And we had a couple more people come in, they're like, Thank God you said that.
- 3:21That made me see, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling
- 3:24like, my world was gonna end.
- 3:26I had felt the exact same thing for like one day.
- 3:29And usually for me, when we shift into a new gate, at least from the
- 3:33human design perspective, we shift, every gate goes through all the lines.
- 3:38It goes through line one, line two, like, you're a four six, I'm a five
- 3:42one, goes through all of those lines.
- 3:44Line one resonates with fear.
- 3:46That is what it does.
- 3:48That is its energy.
- 3:49So the six days that we spend in a gate, the first day to me always feels a little
- 3:56funky and crunchy and scary and to me, I just feel like this resonates with fear.
- 4:01And that's why the second day feels different.
- 4:03And the third day feels different.
- 4:04And by the end of it, I feel very comfortable with whatever energy
- 4:08is happening, but that first day, particularly if it's something that
- 4:12hooks up to something else in your chart or for your astrology, if it
- 4:16creates a challenging aspect, I'm sure, that can feel even worse for you.
- 4:21So, I wanted to call that out, just because this is how you use this
- 4:25information to me, this is where it gets really useful, is to say, I'm
- 4:29not gaslighting myself and saying that I'm not feeling what I'm feeling.
- 4:33But let me hang out with this for a day or two, because what's happening right now is
- 4:37actually, for some people, they're not an emotional authority, but this connection
- 4:42makes them an emotional authority.
- 4:43So they're emotional all of a sudden, and they don't know why.
- 4:46Well now you know why.
- 4:48So maybe it's not, the world is ending and you have to change anything, maybe you
- 4:52just have to be a little kind to yourself, hang out for a bit, and let this pass.
- 4:57Right?
- 4:58Thank you so much for explaining that.
- 5:02That makes so much sense.
- 5:05I don't know if it's crucial, like you could go through life without it,
- 5:07but you definitely feel like you're in a boat with the waves crashing over
- 5:12you, as opposed to being like, oh, I understand that waves just happen.
- 5:16And that on the other side of it, there's better weather.
- 5:19That all being said, We've got September now.
- 5:23We're almost there as we're recording this right now.
- 5:25It's the 28th of August.
- 5:27But September is right around the corner.
- 5:30Our birthdays and all of that, and all of that juicy Virgo energy.
- 5:34Get your like, label makers out people.
- 5:36Get your journals.
- 5:38It's Virgo season.
- 5:39It's that time to go deep.
- 5:42To get cozy with yourself.
- 5:44Get all earthy and grounded.
- 5:46And organize your shit.
- 5:47Cause I feel like that's what I want to do in this season.
- 5:49I'm just like, we're getting it all tied up and we're getting it all ready
- 5:53for the finale at the end of the year.
- 5:56I feel like this is that moment.
- 5:58And I think part of the reason why, because I myself was also very
- 6:01emotional at this turnover, and my clients as well, I mean, my family,
- 6:05I think that what we forget about Virgo season is that we planted some
- 6:11seeds, we had this strong emotional intention, and we've traveled through
- 6:16six months of the manifestation cycle.
- 6:18So we usually have full moons, but we not usually, we always have full moons in
- 6:23Virgo in Pisces season, and then we have full moons in Pisces during Virgo season.
- 6:28So that six month cycle is coming to an earth manifestation.
- 6:33So there are some real.
- 6:35Factual evidence that we are now witnessing.
- 6:39Real factual evidences of things that we intended to experience in our life.
- 6:45And now that we're here, how is it actually feeling to us?
- 6:50I feel like August burned off a lot of illusions, a lot of dreams, a lot
- 6:54of passionate, wishful thinking.
- 6:57And when all of the illusion was burned off, we were left with the tangible
- 7:01reality of- our own behaviors, other people's behaviors, the tangible
- 7:07reality of whether or not this how to return on our investment.
- 7:10And so there was some disillusionment that happened.
- 7:14And disillusionment often comes with emotional responses.
- 7:18Because we've learned something, every time we learn something,
- 7:21that means something we didn't have absolute certainty about has
- 7:25suddenly become a little more certain.
- 7:26And when we know something without a shade of an illusion.
- 7:30If our energy was fueled by the illusion, that energy fell apart.
- 7:34And we were left with an emotional reality, with the truth that we found.
- 7:38So September gives you the raw materials to work with.
- 7:42Now that you know what you're working with, you know the variables, you
- 7:44have the raw materials, you've got the tangible evidence, what will you do?
- 7:48What's valuable now?
- 7:50And for some of us, that feels well, at least I know what I've got now.
- 7:56And I'm one of those people.
- 7:57I like, to actually have the materials in hand to know what I'm working with.
- 8:01And I do feel that, and I feel like, we've talked about this in these
- 8:05episodes on the show before is, that beginning of the year has a theme.
- 8:08These quarters that we go through in human design, we look at 'em that way.
- 8:12You have different quarters for astrology, but same themes
- 8:15is, ideas, seeds get planted.
- 8:18We start to do the work.
- 8:19We start to lay the infrastructure.
- 8:21And now this is that point where we're saying like, okay, well,
- 8:24what do we want to run forward with that quarter of duality?
- 8:27We call it, this is about relationships.
- 8:29But if you think about relationships,
- 8:31I think about it from a business standpoint.
- 8:34The way that I think about it is this is when you go out to sell your stuff.
- 8:37This is when you go out to start to tell people about what you're doing, but you've
- 8:42had to have come to some realizations.
- 8:45in order to get to this point.
- 8:47And that's what the first half of the year, or, almost three
- 8:50quarters of the year, was all about.
- 8:53Was about planting those seeds, figuring out what ideas you really wanted to
- 8:58run forward with, and then, laying that foundation, and then coming now and saying
- 9:02like, Okay, now I'm going to market.
- 9:04Now I'm going to put this out there.
- 9:06Now I'm really going to start to expand beyond just the
- 9:11idea and the planning phases.
- 9:14Cause you've got proof of concepts.
- 9:16There's a buyer for it.
- 9:17it works.
- 9:18Or unfortunately, it didn't.
- 9:21Right.
- 9:21Atleast we knew.
- 9:22We have the answer now.
- 9:23If something worked or if it didn't, and it's moving on from what didn't
- 9:28work and focusing on absolutely what did work that Virgo is asking us to do.
- 9:32And that's where the discernment comes in.
- 9:35Exactly.
- 9:35Because I think Virgos are just innately, we're pretty practical people.
- 9:39We tend to, very grounded is the vibe and the energy of high expression of Virgo.
- 9:44We can be perfectionist.
- 9:45There's all of those things too.
- 9:47But very grounded in the perspective of saying Virgos can be really good at
- 9:52getting to the heart of things, getting right to the core and saying- this is
- 9:56what's important and I feel like that's what we're entering into now and even
- 10:01from the human design gates that we go through During the month of September.
- 10:04I think they lend to this theme very well.
- 10:07So just to give like a landscape of what I see, like the little trip
- 10:11we're going to take together, all of us, cosmically, through the month of
- 10:15September from a human design perspective.
- 10:17We're moving in the beginning of the month, like we're starting out with
- 10:21community, we're starting out with some hard work with trying to figure out-
- 10:26how do we put our work out in the world is one of the themes that happens here.
- 10:31And then we go into my world, which is Gate 64, the gate of confusion, and
- 10:38then with its sister, the Gate of doubt.
- 10:41But I'm here to tell you all that this is my land.
- 10:44This so feels like me that I'm just like, let me help you through this.
- 10:47I have something to offer you here because through confusion, we get clarity.
- 10:51Through confusion, if you're willing to stick with it long enough, you
- 10:55will be able to overcome doubt and you will find extreme clarity.
- 11:00That's the potential for that first week and a half period of
- 11:05September is to go through confusion.
- 11:08So the message is don't freak out.
- 11:10Don't try to fix it.
- 11:11Don't get yourself all up in a tizzy, that's the Virgo that
- 11:14nobody wants to hang out with.
- 11:16Who's trying to fix it all.
- 11:17But can you hang out with it and just see what comes up and get curious about
- 11:23whatever comes up in that first week.
- 11:26And then that will shift into, we go from confusion to a realization.
- 11:30That's the next gate that we enter into around the 10th.
- 11:34Which is, and I think that that's such a beautiful shift that we go
- 11:37through and it's not an accident.
- 11:38We go from confusion and then we land at realization.
- 11:43And realization to me is about, we have a choice what we realize.
- 11:47There's going to be some sort of clarity that we get.
- 11:50We're gonna come to some realization.
- 11:52But you get to choose whether the realization is positive or negative.
- 11:57Like how you look at, like whatever you land with.
- 12:00That 10th of the month, you have a choice then to decide.
- 12:03Is this going to be something empowering for me or disempowering,
- 12:08no matter what the realization is.
- 12:11That is the big lesson for me of that 47th gate, that gate of
- 12:15realization, it's about mindset.
- 12:17That middle of the month it's going to set the tone for everything else.
- 12:22It is your chance to tune your mindset to possibility and potential.
- 12:26Versus anything else.
- 12:28And I don't mean that everything works out.
- 12:30It doesn't mean that you're saying like everything is just
- 12:33rainbows and roses and unicorns.
- 12:35No, it's real.
- 12:37But you have a choice of how you look at whatever reality you're facing.
- 12:42You have a choice of what that means to you and how you look at it.
- 12:47And that to me is that message that we're getting there at the beginning there
- 12:50of that whole first half of the month.
- 12:52That is confusion to clarity to how am I going to choose
- 12:57to look at this for myself.
- 12:59Looking forward at the rest of the year- what is my mindset going to be tuned to?
- 13:05I'm curious, I want to kick it over to you.
- 13:07What are you feeling like in that first half of the month?
- 13:11What do you see?
- 13:12Well, I'm seeing in the first week of the month, it so fits that
- 13:16that's the week of this confusion.
- 13:18We have the night of earth.
- 13:20This is like a student of earth.
- 13:22We're learning, we're whole, we, we've got some ability to mold
- 13:28the earth, but we don't know exactly how we want to do it yet.
- 13:31So we're in a moment of contemplation and that contemplation could
- 13:34create some confusion and there's a lot of astrological.
- 13:39Specific to this year, activity going on in that first week that is going to
- 13:43ask us to sit and pause for a moment.
- 13:46We should not trudge forward in that first week if we don't actually
- 13:51have the understanding of how every single step we take, every action we
- 13:55take, it's going to create something.
- 13:58So, one of my teachers once said that the emotions of the gardener
- 14:04flavor the fruit that they plant.
- 14:09And so there's something to be said about this first week of acknowledging,
- 14:13if you're feeling confused, is this an opportunity to take in what you're
- 14:18witnessing, take in what you're thinking about with new eyes, with
- 14:22a new perspective that perhaps could have you moving and acting in a way
- 14:27that you never have acted before.
- 14:29That could give you the sense of wonder instead of confusion if confusion could be
- 14:35a gift, things are not appearing the way you always thought that they were before.
- 14:40That's what's confusing.
- 14:41And so there's some novelty that can be experienced in
- 14:45that first week of September.
- 14:47And when we're approaching things from a new perspective, a new vantage
- 14:51point, and taking the time to really.
- 14:53Respect that as a gift.
- 14:56What happens is we start becoming an inner steward of our life
- 15:00experiences in a different way.
- 15:02And when we move into the second week, we've got the queen and queens are
- 15:06always about our internal process with something, how we're taking something
- 15:10into ourself that's becoming a part of us.
- 15:14And so if we're experiencing the night or the confusion or the wonder.
- 15:19That's going to have us taking things in, in a whole new way that
- 15:22is going to reshape who we are.
- 15:25So there could be the second week, the realization is what you're calling it.
- 15:30This could be self realization.
- 15:32This could be oh, I am different.
- 15:36I feel different about this.
- 15:38I'm realizing that my perspective was shaping that the entire time
- 15:43and as my perspective changes, it in fact becomes more authentic for me.
- 15:49It becomes more real for me.
- 15:51It becomes a part of me.
- 15:52I get to take it in as myself.
- 15:54And so the second week is going to bring some strong themes.
- 15:57And coincidentally, the 11th of September is when Mercury moves out of its shadow.
- 16:04And so a lot of the mining of the heart that we did in August will
- 16:08finally come to that crystallization of realization around the 11th.
- 16:13And we also have a quarter square in Sagittarius on that day.
- 16:16So there will be this like a sword of flames, a sword of truth
- 16:20that will hold inside of us that says, aha, this is who I am.
- 16:25This is what I am.
- 16:26And so I'm excited about those first two weeks.
- 16:29If we can take the confusion as a gift, that's a disruptor of every way
- 16:34that we thought things were before.
- 16:36And then, if we are getting kind of just to the middle of the month, we head into
- 16:39the King of Pentacles, the King of Earth.
- 16:42And that's when the Earth begins actually materializing from
- 16:45the new I Am that we become.
- 16:49I love that.
- 16:50And just to kind of piggyback on the confusion and don't get
- 16:55caught up in the confusion.
- 16:56Confusion is what you make of it.
- 16:58And I always say like the best way to deal with confusion is, look, mom, no hands.
- 17:02I'm going to let go of the reins and I'm going to just, let Jesus take
- 17:05the wheel, but we want to gently contemplate with curiosity, not
- 17:09criticism, not contemplating to get out of the confusion is the vibe.
- 17:15Can you just get really curious about what you're thinking,
- 17:18about what you're feeling?
- 17:1964th gate- gate of confusion looks backwards.
- 17:22It's always looking at the past, trying to make sense of it all so
- 17:26that now feels a little less crazy.
- 17:30So I completely agree with everything that you were saying and just wanted
- 17:33to add that curiosity, that wonder of what is happening, what am I feeling,
- 17:39what do I really think about the past, what do I really think about
- 17:44these things that I've gone through.
- 17:46And I loved like that middle of the month when we're shifting
- 17:49into that middle of the month, like right around your, you're the 16th.
- 17:52Is that your birthday?
- 17:5314?
- 17:54Mine's the 19th
- 17:5519th.
- 17:56You're at the end, but you're in that 6th gate territory, which is very emotional.
- 18:02This is an emotional pairing.
- 18:03So this might be a bit of an emotional week.
- 18:06It depends on who you are, but come back and listen to this.
- 18:08If you start to feel a little eh, around the 16th of the month, that might just
- 18:14be you feeling this pairing of the sun being in the gate six and the earth being
- 18:21in gate 36, which is dramatic pairing.
- 18:26In its highest expression, this pairing of these two gates is really about that, with
- 18:33every experience might come a little bit of drama, but it all works out in the end.
- 18:38That it all does resolve itself and there's always hope and don't
- 18:42lose hope because that's the trap with this one is to feel like when
- 18:46the wave crashes, it's all over.
- 18:48So that's why I was saying it could be one of those dramatic,
- 18:52emotional sort of what's happening?
- 18:55It's all never gonna get better.
- 18:57It might be that I'm not saying it will be it might not be but it
- 19:01might be and if it is just hang tight You Just chill out with it.
- 19:06Just be like, Oh, Nicole mentioned this.
- 19:09What date is it?
- 19:10Oh, it's the 18th.
- 19:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 19:11I'm totally in the middle of this thing.
- 19:13So, but hang with it.
- 19:14Christina, you might be fine because that's your energy.
- 19:16You might be like, this is my land.
- 19:18This is my world.
- 19:19I rock this.
- 19:20But for those of us, I have these in my charts too.
- 19:23And they've been huge lessons for me, the 6th and 36th gates.
- 19:28The 6th and the 36th Gates also to me have so much hope and they
- 19:33believe, emotionally believe that an experience will lead to something good.
- 19:39And the only thing that can crush it is feeling like you got your hopes
- 19:45up too high and when inevitably that high comes down, you start to
- 19:50think it'll never be the same again.
- 19:53And to recognize that that is just in your mind, that if you choose to look at it,
- 19:57like, I got to have the experience and I learned so much from it, then there's
- 20:03a reason and there's a purpose for it.
- 20:04There's not that let down.
- 20:05The big trap with this is just don't get let down.
- 20:08Don't feel like I thought it was gonna be and it didn't.
- 20:11You let yourself down or you feel like some situation lets you down.
- 20:15That can just be those themes there.
- 20:17Again, highly emotional about drama and conflict and also sex.
- 20:22They're very sexual gates so you might feel a little hot and
- 20:26bothered and turned on and get with your bad self and enjoy yourself.
- 20:32Ride that wave, use that energy, because that's what it's there for, babe.
- 20:36That whole emotional roller coaster does resolve.
- 20:39at the 21st with saying, okay, well now what are you going
- 20:44to commit your energy to?
- 20:46Truly committing your energy to bringing something from thought,
- 20:51from emotion, from a dream, from a mission statement into reality.
- 20:57It's a commitment of your energy that will bring you results in whatever
- 21:02area you're looking for results in.
- 21:05And that's what that last week of the month teaches us.
- 21:08Is it's like, okay, but now what are you going to commit your energy to?
- 21:11I don't mean that in like brute force, like what are you going to do?
- 21:14It's like, how are you going to let what you commit your
- 21:17energy to change who you are?
- 21:19Change, uplevel your identity by saying, I choose this.
- 21:23I'm going all in on this.
- 21:27That's the energy that we kind of resolve the month of September with.
- 21:32I love that the astrology totally has our backs in this energy.
- 21:38You talked about it being emotional.
- 21:39The entire time I was like, yup, yup.
- 21:41Everything, every date that you mentioned, every energy that you
- 21:44mentioned, it all checks out.
- 21:46And there all this- where is this so much support?
- 21:49So you mentioned the 16th how it could feel like we're transitioning into
- 21:53this really emotional understanding and Venus will be opposite Chiron that day.
- 21:58Our heart will be looking at our wound and it'll be like looking across the
- 22:04table at boy I incarnated to feel this.
- 22:08This is the gap between what I incarnated to feel and where I actually am.
- 22:13And this sensation that we might feel on the 16th, but then astrology
- 22:17is sitting here and saying, don't worry, I got your back.
- 22:20I'm going to give you a full moon eclipse in Pisces.
- 22:23on the 17th.
- 22:24So you can remember that on a long enough timeline, you can never fail.
- 22:29That being alive was the entire mission.
- 22:31That the fact that you even exist was the miracle.
- 22:35Pisces is always so filled with, even if you sweet human felt like
- 22:40something fell short, I want you to know that it was impossible for
- 22:44you to ever fall short because you actually became something and that's
- 22:48enough and on a long enough timeline.
- 22:50Another very soothing message It's soothing for me.
- 22:53At least a soothing message that the Eclipse could bring is on a long
- 22:57enough timeline We're all gonna be dust and no one will remember anything.
- 23:02Nothing will be left.
- 23:04And so what is it really for for you?
- 23:07You don't have to worry so much about getting it right, because no one's
- 23:10going to remember if you got it right.
- 23:13All that you have to know is that this moment is here for you.
- 23:17It's for you to experience, it's for you to explore, it's for nobody else.
- 23:22Something about that full moon, It's meant to give that kind of higher, really,
- 23:27loving soul perspective on a very real, tangible, in the weeds, human moment.
- 23:35Can you talk a little bit about the significance of the energy
- 23:39that the full moon is in?
- 23:41And I know you just gave us like the specifics of what this means.
- 23:45I don't know if we've ever really given that kind of depth in these episodes
- 23:50before, but it might be useful to people listening to understand what
- 23:53is the significance of the full moon?
- 23:55I mean, we hear about full moon rituals and all of that.
- 23:57Are those helpful?
- 23:59What is the intention that someone can be setting at those times?
- 24:02And yeah, what are your thoughts on full moons and the significance that
- 24:07they play in each of the cycles.
- 24:10So we're saying that the sun is in Virgo, so the sun's in Virgo, that
- 24:13means that the constellation that we're focusing on, that's the brightest
- 24:17in our consciousness, has to do with Virgo like things, which is Earth and
- 24:22mutable and all these things right?
- 24:24We really understand that but what we don't really think about is that
- 24:27the earth is sitting back into the opposite the polarity of that and
- 24:33the polarity of Virgo is Pisces.
- 24:36So we're always in these polarity moments, and sometimes the polarity is- from my
- 24:43perspective, anytime we feel a really polarizing moment, it's asking us to value
- 24:48both sides of the equation, to understand the value of both sides of an equation.
- 24:52And when we really value both sides, we come into this center of ourselves.
- 24:57We become centered.
- 24:59And so polarizing moments help us to see, am I overvaluing one side of this
- 25:04equation more than the other, and if I am, I'm really going to feel it when we have
- 25:09polarizing events like full moons, because essentially what's happening is the sun is
- 25:13here, the earth is here, so Virgo is way out there, the sun is right in the middle,
- 25:19and then the moon is kind of sandwiching.
- 25:21Like the bread is the sun and the moon and the earth is in the middle, right?
- 25:25So the moon is emphasizing where the earth actually has been sitting this whole time.
- 25:33And so it'll bring our emotional understanding of
- 25:36that side of the polarity.
- 25:37It'll help us to value the body's experience of that side of the polarity.
- 25:42Not just the mind's experience, because the sun is really telling us what
- 25:47our mind is focused on that month.
- 25:48So whatever sign you hear that the sun is in, that's what the mind is focusing
- 25:53on, but the body is always going to be anchored in the other polarity.
- 25:56So, full moon moments are moments where we're meant to really tap in
- 26:00to any kind of polarities that we experience in our value systems, to
- 26:05understand how we're out of balance, favoring one side of a polarity
- 26:09more than another, and why is that?
- 26:12What is that about for us?
- 26:14Because ultimately, being centered and valuing all parts of self equally is the
- 26:20most graceful, passion, beautiful point.
- 26:23The perfection point is really valuing everything.
- 26:26So it's like it's balancing the energy.
- 26:28It's like we've been in the sun and there's of course the earth energy there.
- 26:32That polarity always exists.
- 26:34But now the moon is gonna come in and it's actually accentuating that earth
- 26:38energy, giving it that full pull of the force of like, remember I'm here too.
- 26:44The feeling that I'm getting from what you're explaining.
- 26:46Like it's magnifying that earth energy and creating that counterbalance and
- 26:52letting us know where that middle is.
- 26:55So, where are you over correcting?
- 26:57Where are you over emphasizing?
- 26:59And helping us maybe to find that balance through the way that we're
- 27:03internalizing these energies and understanding them for ourselves.
- 27:07Yeah.
- 27:08So a lot of people will do full moon rituals.
- 27:10And some of the more, like, accessible ways of talking about moons is that
- 27:14there's a seed planted at the new moon.
- 27:17You get the first crisis at the first quarter moon, where you wonder if you have
- 27:22the resources to bring it to fruition.
- 27:24You get the full moon that shows you the first tangible evidence.
- 27:28The kind of evidence of your seed.
- 27:30And then you get the last quarter.
- 27:32Where you take the information, you let the project die, and
- 27:36you prepare for the next seed.
- 27:38So the last quarter is always like, well, what did I learn from this process?
- 27:42The first quarter is.
- 27:43What do I need to be for this process?
- 27:45So the full moon is like, what's actually happening here?
- 27:48And the reason I like to think of it as a moment to feel into our values is
- 27:53because my goal is always to find grace.
- 27:57When I'm over polarized, I oftentimes have less grace in my life.
- 28:02I love that, and I had never heard anybody explain the moon cycle like that.
- 28:07I mean, I'd heard, obviously, like we said, our intentions, we're
- 28:10planting the seeds at the new moon.
- 28:11I've understood that part.
- 28:13The full moon is we're letting go, and we're saying like, what
- 28:15is no longer necessary for me, and I'm shedding these things.
- 28:19Are sort of the tips and things that I've seen out there.
- 28:23But I'd never heard anybody explain it the way that you just did.
- 28:26And I really liked the way that you tied that up of the full cycle and not just
- 28:30thinking about it, new moon, full moon, but actually that it's kind of a whole
- 28:33mini cycle that we're going through.
- 28:35What we talk about in these transits for the, in context of the year
- 28:38and then in context of the month.
- 28:40This is like a little mini version that we go through every month.
- 28:44Yeah.
- 28:44So the new moons are always going to be in the place where the sun is.
- 28:47So we have our first new moon for September, we have it in on the 2nd.
- 28:52That's going to be a little seed.
- 28:53It's going to be a very Virgo seed because the sun and the moon are going
- 28:56to be really close together and they're going to be focusing all of our attention
- 29:00on the temple of Virgo in our lives.
- 29:03And for every single person, that temple of Virgo shows up
- 29:06in a slightly different place.
- 29:07So every single year, when the new moon in Virgo happens, which only
- 29:11happens- usually only happens once.
- 29:13Occasionally, you'll get two new moons in a sign.
- 29:16It's rare, but it sometimes happens.
- 29:18But when we have that, we only really have this one shot to plant a
- 29:23little seed of intention with so much concentrated energy, and then, We go
- 29:30through the motions of the quarter.
- 29:33The first quarter, like I said, is on the 11th.
- 29:35That'll be a crisis of what's true for us, because honestly, Virgo
- 29:39seed wants us to be an integrity.
- 29:41It wants us to be integrity with who we really are.
- 29:45So the first square is saying, am I an integrity with my truth?
- 29:49I can only become the fullness of this Virgo.
- 29:52Individuated, perfected being.
- 29:55If I'm actually an integrity with my truth, so we get that checkpoint
- 29:58right as mercury ends its shadow And so we realize our truth has more to
- 30:03do, is more than just what we think.
- 30:06It's more than just being aligned with our beliefs.
- 30:08It has to also be in alignment with our heart's commitment.
- 30:12What our heart believes is true.
- 30:14So that's this quarter checkpoint.
- 30:17So oftentimes things will happen in our life that challenge this.
- 30:21We'll be tempted to tell a white lie.
- 30:23We'll be tempted to make a decision that is not really in alignment with
- 30:28our values because it's easier or it doesn't cause waves or we don't want
- 30:33to hurt someone or something like that.
- 30:35There'll be some kind of crisis where we'll be tested and we get
- 30:38these tests every single moon cycle.
- 30:41And if we take the test personal or we take it seriously, we'll notice.
- 30:45And we understand, well, what's the energy of this?
- 30:47First, was my seed to be in integrity with myself?
- 30:50Is being in integrity with myself being aligned with
- 30:52ultimately, my guiding principles?
- 30:54Well, then, obviously, the answer to the test is easy, even if it's hard.
- 30:59It's an easy answer with a hard behavior.
- 31:02And whatever choice we make on the 11th, is going to illuminate the results
- 31:08that we get on the full moon in Pisces!
- 31:10The full moon is saying, on a long enough timeline, the character that you
- 31:14play as Christina, isn't going to exist anymore, but your soul will endure.
- 31:19Do you feel that your soul is an integrity in this life?
- 31:22That's all that matters.
- 31:23Whether it worked out or it didn't work out or the goal
- 31:26was hit or blah, blah, blah.
- 31:27Was I an integrity?
- 31:28Cause that was the seed that I planted.
- 31:31If I was in integrity, then freaking yes!
- 31:35Then what else is possible?
- 31:36Because now I can build into the next new moon that will happen in Libra.
- 31:40And that's a new moon where I take the integrity of who I am into the
- 31:44relationship and co creation with you!
- 31:47And hopefully I have enough discernment to know that you're
- 31:50in integrity with yourself, too.
- 31:52Right.
- 31:52, I love this.
- 31:53It does give us like a new layer to look at this through and to
- 31:57use these moon cycles to be asking these questions, which I love.
- 32:01Like, what seed am I planting?
- 32:03I think is a really strong question for everybody to ask at that new moon.
- 32:07And that'll be coming up on the 2nd of September.
- 32:09So people getting in tune with- What am I being called to, what is the intention
- 32:15that I'm setting, what is the seed that I'm planting right now, what is that
- 32:18intention that we're setting there?
- 32:20And then checking in with that, I guess around the full moon is checking
- 32:23in with, well, where am I with this?
- 32:26Reflecting on that intention, how does it sit with me now?
- 32:29I love these sessions that we do.
- 32:31I love these episodes that we do together.
- 32:32The fact that we get to give both sides of this equation, the human
- 32:36design and the astrology side.
- 32:38I love that we get to bring this to everybody.
- 32:40So you have something coming up that you wanted to mention to everybody.
