- 0:21Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design.
- 0:25Nicole Laino: Everybody, it's Nicole and Christina coming to you with the August Transits.
- 0:31Nicole Laino: Hi, Christina.
- 0:32Nicole Laino: How are you doing?
- 0:33Christina Luna: I am so good, Nicole.
- 0:35Christina Luna: Thank you.
- 0:37Nicole Laino: I'm good.
- 0:37Nicole Laino: Now.
- 0:38Nicole Laino: It's been, you know, we're gonna just kick it off and do our.
- 0:43Nicole Laino: Let's not even talk about this.
- 0:44Nicole Laino: Let's just hit record and share our little review of, you know, July on the show here.
- 0:52Nicole Laino: And it's July 21st when we're recording this.
- 0:56Nicole Laino: And, yeah, July was a doozy.
- 0:59Nicole Laino: This was a time and I heard it all of my clients and everything.
- 1:04Nicole Laino: I know that I saw a lot of this observing it in people, but I also knew I could observe it myself.
- 1:10Nicole Laino: And I'm curious, like, what you saw with the people that you're working with and in your own life.
- 1:15Nicole Laino: But I saw a lot of people.
- 1:17Nicole Laino: There was a lot of panic.
- 1:19Nicole Laino: And what was nice was I knew what was happening and I knew how I was processing it.
- 1:23Nicole Laino: And I'm like, no, this is just a very emotional time.
- 1:27Nicole Laino: And I think what anything emotional teaches us.
- 1:29Nicole Laino: So for all of the emotional authorities, our lesson in life is to understand that when we are in a deeply emotional place, which happens for us often and on like a schedule almost, that the world looks scarier, darker, sometimes more exciting, depending on the emotional place that we're in.
- 1:48Nicole Laino: And this, to me, felt like an emotionally deep place where it was doing.
- 1:54Nicole Laino: I mean, intellectually, I was like, I know that this is stirring things up that I need to look at.
- 2:00Nicole Laino: It didn't necessarily make it convenient for me to have to look at those things, or I didn't exactly find it fun the whole time either.
- 2:11Nicole Laino: But what was your experience and with the people you work with?
- 2:15Christina Luna: What'd you say?
- 2:16Christina Luna: Yes.
- 2:17Christina Luna: So this time of year, historically, can feel really challenging for.
- 2:21Christina Luna: For anyone who loves structure, logic, well thought out plans, et cetera.
- 2:30Christina Luna: And this year especially was a little bit extra because we have Jupiter in cancer this year.
- 2:35Christina Luna: And we also had Uranus changing signs from a very solid earth sign to a mutable air sign.
- 2:43Christina Luna: And so there were a few things happening all at once.
- 2:47Christina Luna: First of all, the structure that we usually get security from, the structure and the rhythm that melted for most of us in a very.
- 2:57Christina Luna: At least in the space of the mind.
- 3:00Christina Luna: Even if your physical structure didn't melt, there might have been a structure in your mind in the form of beliefs or ideas or things you counted on about your personality.
- 3:10Christina Luna: Some kind of structure that just sort of started getting soft and melty.
- 3:15Christina Luna: Like what I found.
- 3:16Christina Luna: Some examples are I believed myself to be a really healthy person, and I got a health diagnosis.
- 3:24Christina Luna: Or I believed that I would have this money to put toward this thing, and I needed it for this other thing I wasn't expecting.
- 3:32Christina Luna: I believed that blah, blah.
- 3:35Christina Luna: And then these things started happening, and suddenly this thing I had security around, you know, I could lean on.
- 3:41Christina Luna: Other times that suddenly started to dissolve.
- 3:45Christina Luna: And so what were left with was an emotional experience.
- 3:50Christina Luna: And when we have emotional experiences, they open up files in our psyche of every time we've ever had an emotional experience like that.
- 4:00Christina Luna: And so for a lot of us, archival memory got opened due to surprising emotions or dissolving emotions or uncomfortable emotions or whatever.
- 4:12Christina Luna: And whatever was in that file, we got to be with, be present with.
- 4:16Christina Luna: And our response to the information in those files was what was actually being focused on, challenged, encouraged to, like, rewrite.
- 4:29Christina Luna: We have this opportunity right now to see where we are with our mindset.
- 4:35Christina Luna: We're not really going to mess things up.
- 4:36Christina Luna: Even if our mindset isn't strong, it would just dissolve it even more.
- 4:41Christina Luna: It would just bring us even more dissolving.
- 4:43Christina Luna: Because we have a mindset that can't support us when the emotions are high, then that mindset actually could use some restructuring.
- 4:52Christina Luna: Then were given this mercury retrograde, and we're given the retrograde during a time when emotions more soft, when they're a little bit bigger, when we've got Uranus sort of mixing the pot of our belief systems so we get to have everything sort of open.
- 5:09Christina Luna: There was one client I had.
- 5:11Christina Luna: She's a collage creator, and she's got all of these different pieces of visual artifacts all over, and she's got hundreds of collages that she's made.
- 5:22Christina Luna: She knows that there's a project coming from it.
- 5:24Christina Luna: And so one of the most constructive things I saw was that she's decided to lay all of her collages all over her entire living space and see the chaotic order that these collages are providing her.
- 5:39Christina Luna: And I imagine that over the few weeks of the mercury retrograde, Something might come from the chaos.
- 5:48Christina Luna: Some kind of new structure may come from the chaos that makes even more specific meaning out of what she's doing.
- 5:55Christina Luna: And if we could imagine a part of our lives being like that, what if all your memories, what if all your fears, what if all your needs are being displayed all over your world so that you can kind of take a look at the chaotic, beautiful mess and find a pattern that's even more true than the one that you were trying to keep organized and safe and locked up in the archives?
- 6:19Nicole Laino: Yeah.
- 6:20Nicole Laino: As you were saying, all of that.
- 6:21Nicole Laino: One of the things that kind of stuck out for me.
- 6:23Nicole Laino: Well, there was a lot.
- 6:24Nicole Laino: One of the things that stuck out for me was if you are trying to make sense of the chaos and you are actively trying to create structure, which is what me, Virgo, really wants to do.
- 6:39Nicole Laino: And this whole year has been about loosening the reins on that and not needing everything to be so planned or so perfect.
- 6:46Nicole Laino: But if I tried to.
- 6:47Nicole Laino: And I noticed this with clients, too, if they tried.
- 6:50Nicole Laino: So that client that you're talking about, the collages, if she goes into that room every day being like, where's the order?
- 6:55Nicole Laino: I need to find it.
- 6:56Nicole Laino: You'll never find it like that.
- 6:58Nicole Laino: You have to allow the chaos to be there and let it settle.
- 7:05Nicole Laino: And that was my big lesson in these last few weeks.
- 7:10Nicole Laino: For me, I really had to allow.
- 7:12Nicole Laino: And I just had to allow what was happening to happen and to not try to make it something else and to not try to be productive in the midst of it.
- 7:21Nicole Laino: You know, sometimes you have to get something done, but otherwise, it was just a lot of seeing what was there, you know, and you said the mental constructs and our mindset and how we want things to be and this, bringing up what those are, I found, too, that the emotions were stirring things up.
- 7:42Nicole Laino: So even the things you were talking about, you know, like, oh, and then the money isn't there.
- 7:45Nicole Laino: You know, you had the money for something, and then something came and said, no, it has to go to something else.
- 7:51Nicole Laino: What I found was that even when those things weren't happening, my mind, I was so emotional about things that I could make up a story about something that was going wrong.
- 8:02Nicole Laino: But what was interesting to me was I noticed that those stories weren't true, that I sat with it the day I called you, actually, I called Christina one day, and I was like, so, yeah, I'm in a spot right now, and.
- 8:18Nicole Laino: And I just kind of need to talk to somebody, just somebody who will understand this.
- 8:22Nicole Laino: And that day was so uncomfortable and so difficult.
- 8:27Nicole Laino: I was so in it.
- 8:29Nicole Laino: But what I had to do was just sit with it.
- 8:33Nicole Laino: And I realized how Many stories were coming up.
- 8:35Nicole Laino: I realized how many of my old money stories were coming up, and part of it was around I spent a lot of money in the last couple of months.
- 8:45Nicole Laino: We bought things, went on vacations, we did dinners, and we did, like, were going around to all these different places, and it was busy, and I have the money, thankfully.
- 8:55Nicole Laino: But the story in my head was around, you don't deserve to spend this much money.
- 9:01Nicole Laino: Who do you think you are?
- 9:03Nicole Laino: What are you doing?
- 9:04Nicole Laino: It's all gonna go away.
- 9:05Nicole Laino: The things that you think you've worked through, the things that you think you've come.
- 9:10Nicole Laino: Like, where I thought my mindset had gotten better was when I got into an emotional place and my actions were aligning with a fear that I once had or bad behavior that I have since corrected.
- 9:23Nicole Laino: It wasn't frivolous.
- 9:25Nicole Laino: I wasn't doing anything wrong.
- 9:26Nicole Laino: But I had such a moment with that where what it forced me to do was become the observer of the feelings that I had.
- 9:36Nicole Laino: And then I'm like, well, let me go look at the money.
- 9:39Nicole Laino: Let me go look at the bank accounts.
- 9:40Nicole Laino: Let me go actually look at the tangible things.
- 9:43Nicole Laino: And I was like, oh, wait, that's not a problem at all.
- 9:47Nicole Laino: I have more money than I thought I had.
- 9:49Nicole Laino: And I shifted that whole day in the next few days.
- 9:53Nicole Laino: But I think what was interesting to me was I saw how emotions make us feel things, and then our mind creates a story about something that may or may not be true, but it feels so damn true in that emotional space.
- 10:09Nicole Laino: You have to become the observer.
- 10:11Nicole Laino: You have to say, let me zoom out for a second and not be like, I can allow these feelings, but can I also take a step back and say, is everything that I'm thinking right now true?
- 10:23Nicole Laino: Is it really happening?
- 10:25Nicole Laino: Or am I just scared at the moment?
- 10:27Nicole Laino: Am I emotionally triggered at the moment that it's causing my mind to spin on things that might or may not be wrong?
- 10:37Nicole Laino: And I exposed a lot of lies, a lot of, like, mental head trash, for lack of a better term, that really wasn't true.
- 10:46Nicole Laino: But it felt very true in that moment.
- 10:49Nicole Laino: But it allowed me to see, so I'm better on the other side of it.
- 10:53Nicole Laino: But it was such an interesting space.
- 10:55Nicole Laino: So when you were talking about the mindset, it's like, oh, yeah, mindset is important.
- 10:59Nicole Laino: And I think that the mindset, it really did bring up some things that I hadn't fully worked through, some fears I still had.
- 11:06Nicole Laino: I'm in a different place with them.
- 11:08Nicole Laino: But the emotions allowed me to say, like, you're not fully done with this.
- 11:12Nicole Laino: You might have to dive into some of these issues a little bit more.
- 11:14Christina Luna: And do you know what I love about this so much is you and I and my clients and peers, we've all worked through so much.
- 11:25Christina Luna: Part of the reason why even people who have kind of faced their shadows, they've done the deep work, it doesn't matter, because there's always more layers to face.
- 11:36Christina Luna: There's always more.
- 11:37Christina Luna: And this year, we also have black moon Lilith in Scorpio.
- 11:42Christina Luna: This only happens once every nine years.
- 11:44Christina Luna: So we've got Jupiter in cancer once every 12 years.
- 11:47Christina Luna: We've got black moon Lilith in Scorpio once every nine years.
- 11:50Christina Luna: They happen to be in water signs at the same time, giving us really strong, sensitive feelings and then showing us all the scary places that we've been sort of hiding from ourselves for the last nine years.
- 12:03Nicole Laino: So.
- 12:04Christina Luna: So we get to look at where those little dark places inside are actually.
- 12:09Christina Luna: They're like little boxes that we continuously put things into it.
- 12:12Christina Luna: And we said, nope, I'm fine.
- 12:14Christina Luna: I'm independent, I'm strong, I'm good, I'm healthy.
- 12:17Christina Luna: I'm all the Virgo things.
- 12:18Christina Luna: Everyone's got Virgo somewhere in their chart.
- 12:20Christina Luna: I am doing the right thing.
- 12:22Christina Luna: I'm healthy.
- 12:23Christina Luna: I've been living my life pretty right.
- 12:26Christina Luna: You say these.
- 12:26Christina Luna: We've been living our lives pretty right.
- 12:28Christina Luna: Like, we feel like we're in right relationship with stuff.
- 12:31Christina Luna: We've been facing our judgments.
- 12:32Christina Luna: We've been have the hard conversations, blah, da, da.
- 12:34Christina Luna: And yet we get this opportunity to be so sensitive, surprisingly sensitive, surprisingly vulnerable, surprisingly open, surprisingly intuitive.
- 12:46Christina Luna: And surprisingly, these issues, these boxes of hidden little gemstones of they're actually power.
- 12:54Christina Luna: They're hidden gemstones of power that we've been worried touch.
- 12:59Christina Luna: Like, what will happen if I touch that?
- 13:00Christina Luna: What will happen if I pull that one out of the box and I let it be seen by other people?
- 13:05Christina Luna: What will happen if I look at it?
- 13:06Christina Luna: Is there something I'm going to have to change if I acknowledge that truth?
- 13:10Christina Luna: And so while it's in the box, it's very scary because it's like a mystery box.
- 13:15Christina Luna: It's like putting your hand into the mouth of the sculpture, putting your hand in the box.
- 13:19Christina Luna: It's so scary before you do it.
- 13:21Christina Luna: But this month, his hat is actually just freaking.
- 13:25Christina Luna: We've got to put our hand in the box.
- 13:27Christina Luna: You said you had to just look at the numbers.
- 13:29Christina Luna: You know, we have to go to the doctor.
- 13:31Christina Luna: We've got to get the scan.
- 13:32Christina Luna: We got to do the colonoscopy.
- 13:34Christina Luna: We got to actually look at it.
- 13:35Christina Luna: Because while we're afraid of it, we're giving so much power to it.
- 13:39Christina Luna: And so hopefully, many of us face all of this sensitivity and the vulnerability in this month of July.
- 13:46Christina Luna: And we actually got to the tangible truth.
- 13:49Christina Luna: Some of that tangible truth is, oh, man, I live in a human body that will actually get older and change and have problems.
- 13:59Christina Luna: I live in a human body that I have to maintain.
- 14:01Christina Luna: I live in a human body that's susceptible to other people's choices in lives.
- 14:07Christina Luna: I am a mortal human.
- 14:09Christina Luna: And that's what Leo season's really about.
- 14:11Christina Luna: And we get to the heart of human experience in Leo season.
- 14:15Christina Luna: That's really what it's about.
- 14:17Christina Luna: I consider Leo season, you know, cancer season.
- 14:20Christina Luna: When we fall on our knees and we say, all right, yes, I'm gonna stay here.
- 14:25Christina Luna: Mama says that I'm gonna get hurt, that not everyone's gonna be nice, not everyone will like me.
- 14:31Christina Luna: My feelings are gonna get hurt.
- 14:32Christina Luna: I'm gonna scratch my knees.
- 14:33Christina Luna: And she says, that's part of the human experience and just make the best of it.
- 14:38Christina Luna: Well, if I'm gonna get hurt anyway, if people are not gonna like me anyway, if all these things anyway, then I may as well just do it at the top of my lungs.
- 14:47Nicole Laino: This was a drop to your knees month.
- 14:49Nicole Laino: I felt curious if the people listening.
- 14:52Nicole Laino: If you at home, were you feeling that?
- 14:55Nicole Laino: Were you feeling like July brought you to your knees?
- 14:58Nicole Laino: Most of the people I spoke to did.
- 15:00Nicole Laino: Some knew what was happening, and lots of others did not.
- 15:03Nicole Laino: And I would tell people, I would be like, just so you know, this is a really.
- 15:08Nicole Laino: I sent them this episode.
- 15:09Nicole Laino: I'm like, you should listen to this.
- 15:10Nicole Laino: We talk at length about what's coming and what we're in right now.
- 15:14Nicole Laino: And I think that, you know, one of the things that I feel like I turned a corner with, and you told me you were like, the 21st, 22nd, you're gonna feel like you got over the hump.
- 15:24Nicole Laino: And I absolutely felt that.
- 15:26Nicole Laino: It was like yesterday, the 20th, I was like, oh, I feel like I'm coming out of the fog.
- 15:30Nicole Laino: I feel like it's the worst is behind me, at least.
- 15:34Nicole Laino: But I think it's also behind me because I did do the work during that time.
- 15:38Nicole Laino: And I think that's something that I wanna make sure everybody gets across, is that these periods aren't just to make your life feel difficult and challenging.
- 15:47Nicole Laino: If you can look at the challenges and you can see them for what they are and do the work.
- 15:53Nicole Laino: I don't think inner work in like a vacuum necessarily has sustainability.
- 15:59Nicole Laino: So when people go and they're like, I'm going to go heal for like six months and I'm going to do this program and you might have a wonderful experience in that six month container.
- 16:09Nicole Laino: But if it's completely siloed and in the safe container and you're not putting it out to use, you know, if you're driving a car in the parking lot, that doesn't mean that it will function well and handle well on the highway or a racetrack.
- 16:25Nicole Laino: Like you have to go and test drive it.
- 16:27Nicole Laino: You have to really put it to the test.
- 16:29Nicole Laino: And I think that's what we have to do with the inner work.
- 16:31Nicole Laino: And I feel like the transits give us an opportunity where we're living life and we have to see where, you know, the cosmos throws up a wall in front of us and actually look at the wall and say, this is what I need to do here.
- 16:45Nicole Laino: This is what I need to work through.
- 16:46Nicole Laino: This is what I'm being given now.
- 16:47Nicole Laino: And I'm actually going to be in response to it.
- 16:49Christina Luna: Yeah, you know, it is super helpful to know that like to have the map, right?
- 16:55Christina Luna: To have the map and to know that these things are happening and to give yourself permission, but that the terrain is always still really challenging, even with the map.
- 17:05Christina Luna: Weekend that Uranus transitioned from Taurus to Gemini.
- 17:10Christina Luna: In the course of that, I had experiences where I had so much resistance, I was like sabotaging everything.
- 17:17Christina Luna: And then I had the pop and I was like screaming at the top of my lungs, crying.
- 17:23Christina Luna: Like I had emotion coming up that, you know, the feeling you get when you have to pee really bad on a road trip, but not because you have to scream and so bursting.
- 17:35Christina Luna: And then that also resulted in me going to an emergency room.
- 17:39Christina Luna: Because when you lose, even if you give yourself permission to lose control, when you lose control, sometimes things happen that are like, oh no, did I break something?
- 17:50Christina Luna: Is something not okay now?
- 17:53Christina Luna: And so bend the fear.
- 17:54Christina Luna: The fear comes after you lose control.
- 17:57Christina Luna: The fear sets in the next day.
- 17:59Christina Luna: Like, oh no, what if there is?
- 18:01Christina Luna: Then you respond to that and then they tell you, oh, there's no emergency here, everything is okay.
- 18:06Christina Luna: And you're like, well, I shouldn't have gone to the emergency room.
- 18:10Christina Luna: But that's the reality check.
- 18:12Christina Luna: There's this like terrain of intensity that I think was available to all of us.
- 18:19Christina Luna: Even if you repressed it and suppressed it.
- 18:21Christina Luna: That's one way of doing it.
- 18:23Christina Luna: If you gave yourself permission, that's another way of doing it.
- 18:26Christina Luna: None of the ways are right or wrong, but they just are all going to feel a little unhinged.
- 18:31Nicole Laino: Absolutely.
- 18:32Nicole Laino: And even, like, you know, I shouldn't have gone to the emergency room.
- 18:34Nicole Laino: It's the same thing.
- 18:35Nicole Laino: Like, I shouldn't have been worried.
- 18:36Nicole Laino: I shouldn't have fallen apart.
- 18:37Nicole Laino: It's also you.
- 18:37Nicole Laino: Maybe you couldn't feel the way you do now unless you fell apart.
- 18:40Nicole Laino: That was necessary.
- 18:41Nicole Laino: You had to see how ridiculous it was.
- 18:44Nicole Laino: You had to see how I had to freak out about money.
- 18:48Nicole Laino: That was not really a problem.
- 18:50Nicole Laino: In order for me to go back and look at my numbers and be like, oh, it's so not a problem for me.
- 18:56Nicole Laino: All these things are going wrong, but it's not a problem for me.
- 19:00Nicole Laino: But for some reason, like, I had to go through that emotional roller coaster.
- 19:04Nicole Laino: Do you know how long it took me before I was like, let me look at the bank account and see if this is real.
- 19:09Nicole Laino: I got so wrapped up in my own head drama of, like, the emotional roller coaster that I chose to put myself on that, like, the energy, like, set up the roller coaster.
- 19:22Nicole Laino: But I got on that sucker.
- 19:24Nicole Laino: I was like, let me get on knowing everything that's going on and everything.
- 19:28Nicole Laino: It still feels so real in the moment.
- 19:31Nicole Laino: So all of this stuff, human design, no matter what we know about ourselves, no matter.
- 19:36Nicole Laino: You know, I was telling my husband yesterday as I'm working on something, and I was getting frustrated and it wasn't going well, and, you know, he's talking to me about it, and I'm like, this is my confusion.
- 19:47Nicole Laino: This is how all inspiration comes to me.
- 19:49Nicole Laino: This is my gate.
- 19:50Nicole Laino: This is my key.
- 19:52Nicole Laino: This is what I teach people.
- 19:53Nicole Laino: But sometimes I have to get in it so far to go, oh, I'm in the thing again.
- 19:58Nicole Laino: Okay, now I know what to do.
- 20:00Nicole Laino: I'm like, I need to take a break.
- 20:01Nicole Laino: I need to, like, breathe a little.
- 20:03Nicole Laino: I need to just, like, have a little conversation about this and not need to put an outcome on it, because I never get the outcome when I do it like that.
- 20:12Nicole Laino: But sometimes, you know, you've got to get partially through the process in order to realize you're in the process.
- 20:18Nicole Laino: So grace, for yourself, you're not doing it wrong.
- 20:21Nicole Laino: I think if you're aware of any of this stuff at any point, even after, to go, oh, I know what happened.
- 20:27Nicole Laino: You're already way far ahead than most of humanity who just thinks that life is Insane.
- 20:36Christina Luna: Well, you know, it's not a coincidence that everyone's talking about this like K pop demon Slayer movie, heard about this.
- 20:43Christina Luna: But the whole premise of this is that the insidious thoughts that bring our energy down, the shameful thoughts that we tell ourselves, those are essentially the demon realm.
- 20:56Christina Luna: It's this place where we're giving power, we're giving our energy over to these very shameful, insidious, fearful thoughts.
- 21:07Christina Luna: The thing that gives people strength against those thoughts are high vibrational music.
- 21:14Christina Luna: This, this other.
- 21:15Christina Luna: Just like the poppy beauty of singing and K pop.
- 21:20Christina Luna: So I find it interesting that this is kind of what's in our social awareness right now.
- 21:26Christina Luna: Is this film around how emotions and music and vibration can affect large populations.
- 21:34Christina Luna: And that when we're close to a population where the energy is sinking, where we're susceptible to that field that's sinking with it, and when we're taking strength, when we're finding those tools and we're remembering our authenticity, the whole key of the film was that instead of suppressing something that was shameful, the acceptance and the authenticity of speaking that truth was what increased the frequency.
- 22:01Christina Luna: Not that we got rid of the shameful truth, that we accepted the shameful truth and accepted ourselves, allowed ourselves to be seen accepting ourselves.
- 22:12Christina Luna: That was like the whole arc of the show and I didn't ruin it.
- 22:16Christina Luna: It's an amazing show if you haven't seen it, but I recommend it especially for Leo season.
- 22:22Christina Luna: Yeah.
- 22:23Nicole Laino: And let's go into that.
- 22:24Nicole Laino: So we are going into Leo season.
- 22:26Nicole Laino: We're officially crossing over and as of like right now, which tomorrow, like officially Leo season.
- 22:33Nicole Laino: 22nd.
- 22:34Nicole Laino: Yeah.
- 22:35Nicole Laino: So yeah, why don't you kick it off by telling everybody a little bit about.
- 22:38Nicole Laino: I mean, we kind of touched on it when were talking about cancer into Leo.
- 22:42Nicole Laino: But why don't you kick it off with, you know, what is Leo season?
- 22:45Christina Luna: Leo season is the moment where we realize that, yes, we're mortal, yes, we might get hungry, we might get sad, and we're going to go ahead and live anyway.
- 22:57Christina Luna: It's when we just decide, we choose, we make the choice, we step into the imaginal realm of play and we begin to actually playfully create our reality.
- 23:08Christina Luna: Like in childhood, it's the time when you came back to mom, she put the band aid on your knee and then you were so excited to get back out there and create the little, like plant temples to the lizards that you found.
- 23:22Christina Luna: Like, it's like the imaginary realm in the physical world.
- 23:27Christina Luna: It's this combination between those two things.
- 23:30Christina Luna: So There is a little bit of mess required.
- 23:33Christina Luna: If you're going to be just in the imaginal realm, that's more Pisces terrain.
- 23:37Christina Luna: If you're going to be just in the physical realm, that's more a Taurus situation.
- 23:42Christina Luna: But when we get into Leo, we're basically like, oh, I've got all of this earthly material to play with.
- 23:49Christina Luna: What on earth can I create?
- 23:50Christina Luna: And it's getting lost in the process of that and not being attached to the outcome.
- 23:55Christina Luna: Aquarius is the outcome of that play.
- 23:57Christina Luna: Aquarius is where the painter finally has their art.
- 24:01Christina Luna: Art in the gallery.
- 24:02Christina Luna: But if a painter is thinking about the gallery while they're painting, it takes the joy out of the painting itself.
- 24:09Christina Luna: Unless that's their thing, and that's a whole different thing.
- 24:12Christina Luna: But, you know, you could have Leo in the 11th house and all of a sudden, like, the process is being witnessed or whatever.
- 24:17Christina Luna: But if we're just talking about the natural rhythm, it's whatever you can get lost in where you're not thinking about the end result, you're just lost in the present moment.
- 24:27Christina Luna: It's what makes life worth living.
- 24:29Christina Luna: And sometimes they call Leo or the fifth house if it's associated with that pleasure, joy, romance, playfulness, creativity.
- 24:39Christina Luna: Children like, not children, because you're procreating.
- 24:43Christina Luna: But yes, like, what types of creations can come from pleasure?
- 24:49Christina Luna: What types of getting lost in the moment?
- 24:51Christina Luna: What types of things can come from getting lost in a moment and surrendering completely to that transformational experience because it feels good, not because of any other reason.
- 25:02Christina Luna: So that's what is on the table for Leo.
- 25:05Christina Luna: But I'll tell you, a lot of adults have a pretty hard time with the opportunity that Leo season brings.
- 25:13Christina Luna: And a lot of people chomp at the bit to get back to work in Virgo season.
- 25:17Christina Luna: But what I will tell those adults, and myself included, is if we do not play, if we do not fill up our tanks in Leo season, it will be a bear to get through Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and the rest of the freaking year.
- 25:33Christina Luna: So it's a time to fill the tank up for sure.
- 25:36Nicole Laino: I feel all of that.
- 25:37Nicole Laino: And there's so much, especially the being detached from the outcome.
- 25:41Nicole Laino: There's a whole chunk of the human design aspect of this that is really about that, and particularly this year.
- 25:50Nicole Laino: But one of the things that I wanted to call out, I do this at every turn for this.
- 25:55Nicole Laino: But we're going into a new quarter.
- 25:57Nicole Laino: So August, when we shift into the seventh gate on 5 August, which is also the lion, you know, I think that's the people love this 8, 8 portal right around there.
- 26:08Nicole Laino: But this is when we shift from being.
- 26:11Nicole Laino: And we've been in the quarter of civilization since May and now we shift into another one of the roll gates, Gate seven, which is the gate of called the army, which is really about identity, it's really about being a leader.
- 26:25Nicole Laino: And what's interesting about this year is that Mercury is also in gate 31, which this forms a channel.
- 26:33Nicole Laino: And whenever we form a channel, when the transits form a channel in the human design chart, we take that as like a lesson for us.
- 26:41Nicole Laino: We take that as something that we're all working on.
- 26:44Nicole Laino: This is a big theme for us and this is really about leadership.
- 26:48Nicole Laino: Forms the channel of the Alpha so that like end of the first week, the 5th through the 10th, we are in this little channel here where the channel of the Alpha, it combines being a leader, not doing it, but being it.
- 27:02Nicole Laino: It's in the identity center.
- 27:04Nicole Laino: This is the identity of leadership.
- 27:06Nicole Laino: This shifts us from that.
- 27:08Nicole Laino: This is the gate that shifts us from that quarter of civilization which is about concretizing, doing like all of those thoughts and ideas that we had in the first quarter.
- 27:18Nicole Laino: Now the plans get laid, the groundwork gets laid, the foundation.
- 27:22Nicole Laino: Now it's the quarter of duality.
- 27:25Nicole Laino: And we shift into that with like, okay, now I lead with the plan, now I'm gonna go put it out to the people.
- 27:31Nicole Laino: Now it's moving into this collective energy of saying, here's the direction that we're going in.
- 27:36Nicole Laino: It combines I am the leader with the gate of influence, which says I can influence others with my plan.
- 27:45Nicole Laino: With these new directions that I'm thinking of.
- 27:48Nicole Laino: It's almost like we're all being called to kind of step up and say, what do we really have to share?
- 27:54Nicole Laino: That's that first week.
- 27:56Nicole Laino: And you know, it's the gate seven is known as the role of self interaction.
- 28:02Nicole Laino: It's not just who you are, it's who you are to the rest of the world, who you are.
- 28:09Nicole Laino: It's very public facing.
- 28:10Nicole Laino: I think that's very Leo too.
- 28:12Nicole Laino: It's like, you know, I'm proud to be me.
- 28:14Nicole Laino: Here's who I am, here's what I stand for, here's what I have to offer you.
- 28:19Nicole Laino: So that first week is so much about.
- 28:22Nicole Laino: I think it's about really coming home to yourself and feeling like, okay, you've done all of this work the first half of the year.
- 28:30Nicole Laino: Now going into the second half, it's not Just gonna be about what you're doing.
- 28:34Nicole Laino: It's going to be about again, quarter of duality.
- 28:37Nicole Laino: Duality is about relationships.
- 28:38Nicole Laino: It's about connections, about disseminating the information that you've been preparing this entire time.
- 28:46Nicole Laino: It's about now going out into the world a bit more.
- 28:49Nicole Laino: And it has much more to do with interacting with others versus just you working alone, siloed away.
- 28:58Nicole Laino: All of those plans mean nothing if you don't put them out there is what the third quarter would be telling us.
- 29:04Christina Luna: Correlations between our maps are really close this year or this month.
- 29:09Christina Luna: You talked about that seventh gate and I literally have that.
- 29:13Christina Luna: That's the seven of passion, the seven of fire, and have the words what do I stand for?
- 29:20Christina Luna: And it's a question mark.
- 29:22Christina Luna: Like we're being challenged to define what it is we stand for.
- 29:28Christina Luna: What are we passionate about?
- 29:29Christina Luna: If everything fell apart, if everything opened up, what's the one thing that you're going to hold in front of you that says this?
- 29:38Christina Luna: This one thing.
- 29:39Christina Luna: I know this is true.
- 29:41Christina Luna: Even if nothing else is true, this is true.
- 29:44Christina Luna: And so we have that, and that is what puts us into motion.
- 29:49Christina Luna: So historically, this beginning of this month, there could be a lot of things.
- 29:53Christina Luna: You could have all of these different launches, all these different products, all these different things that you're focusing your attention on, but it might be so many that you decide you can't hold it all.
- 30:04Christina Luna: And none of it has gravity anymore.
- 30:07Christina Luna: Like every single year, I question my craft during this time of year.
- 30:11Christina Luna: You know, is this even valuable anymore?
- 30:13Christina Luna: Do I care about this?
- 30:14Christina Luna: Is my passion there?
- 30:15Christina Luna: Do I feel energy for this?
- 30:17Christina Luna: I question it.
- 30:18Christina Luna: I usually find this one big huge foundational thing that I'm like, at least this and every single year.
- 30:26Christina Luna: And then everything that I build from there, it starts there.
- 30:30Christina Luna: There could be the same exact offering, but guess what?
- 30:33Christina Luna: It's coming from a different well of energy within me.
- 30:36Nicole Laino: I know exactly what you're talking about.
- 30:38Nicole Laino: I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I was like, every year in September, something has changed because of something that I, like, locked in on and optimized and refined in August.
- 30:52Christina Luna: That's right.
- 30:53Christina Luna: Because it almost the cancer season that we're going through, that's when we're like, oh my gosh.
- 30:59Christina Luna: This acute thing is so much more important than all these things I've been holding for all this time.
- 31:04Christina Luna: So it's kind of like the moment where we let everything go because it got too much.
- 31:09Christina Luna: It was overwhelming.
- 31:10Christina Luna: It was too much like, I gotta Put this down.
- 31:12Christina Luna: So we put it all down, and then we're like, do I even care about anything anymore?
- 31:16Christina Luna: You're not gonna get me out of bed for that unless I really care.
- 31:20Christina Luna: And that's what we find in that first full week of August.
- 31:25Christina Luna: Like, this is the one thing I care about.
- 31:27Christina Luna: So I'm gonna put all my ducks in a row.
- 31:30Christina Luna: The second week, we've got the moving parts.
- 31:33Christina Luna: Like, if I can hold this one thing as the anchor, then I'm gonna let all of my other things get in line behind that and move it forward.
- 31:42Christina Luna: And then we get to the third week, and this is pretty much the last week of Leo where we're just like, okay, I do know what I stand for.
- 31:50Christina Luna: This is the hill I'm gonna die on.
- 31:52Christina Luna: This is the investment I'm gonna work on when I get into Virgo season.
- 31:57Christina Luna: Last week of July, I'll just top it off.
- 31:59Christina Luna: And the energy of the last week of July is or no, August is.
- 32:04Christina Luna: I have chosen wisely.
- 32:06Christina Luna: Like, we have the little.
- 32:07Christina Luna: We're holding the thing.
- 32:08Christina Luna: We've chosen our identity.
- 32:10Christina Luna: We know what we're going to work on.
- 32:11Christina Luna: We might not, like, officially get started on it, but at least we know that we have chosen it wisely.
- 32:17Nicole Laino: Yeah, like, it's the same story that I see.
- 32:21Nicole Laino: So that second week, or I guess second and third week, August 11th through the 16th, we go from not leadership.
- 32:27Nicole Laino: Now we're going to think about it a little bit.
- 32:29Nicole Laino: We're going to, like, refine some, like, mental solution here around what we stand for.
- 32:34Nicole Laino: And the key that I have there for everybody, like, what I wrote here was just, like, look for the potential in everything.
- 32:40Nicole Laino: Because the tendency can also be to doubt the thing that you said mattered.
- 32:45Nicole Laino: The hill.
- 32:45Nicole Laino: You want to die on the thing that you are.
- 32:47Nicole Laino: Like, I think it's this.
- 32:49Nicole Laino: You could very easily doubt it because you want it to be certain.
- 32:53Nicole Laino: You want to know it's going to work.
- 32:55Nicole Laino: And, sorry, that's not how it works.
- 32:58Nicole Laino: If you believe it will work, your chances of it working are way better than if you go into something wondering if it will work, being scared, or, of course, if you hold back and don't do it because you're too afraid of change.
- 33:10Nicole Laino: You know, that fourth gate that we move into between the 11th and the 16th can really be doubtful and can really be afraid of rocking the boat, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- 33:23Nicole Laino: But I think Cancer season showed us what's broken.
- 33:26Nicole Laino: It showed us what we don't care about.
- 33:28Nicole Laino: Anymore.
- 33:29Nicole Laino: And hopefully that stuff fell away.
- 33:31Nicole Laino: And we have the courage to peel off those layers and say, you know what?
- 33:34Nicole Laino: These are dead and they no longer serve.
- 33:36Nicole Laino: But then we go from the 17th and all of this.
- 33:40Nicole Laino: I see this around like I wrote here, like desire, you know, from the 11th till the end of Leo season, I feel like we're really starting to ask ourselves, what do I want?
- 33:50Nicole Laino: Like really, what do I really want?
- 33:53Nicole Laino: Not what will work, not what makes sense, not what they're doing, but like, what do I want?
- 33:59Nicole Laino: And that kind of gets pushed on us a little bit.
- 34:02Nicole Laino: From the 17th to the 22nd, we have two things going on.
- 34:07Nicole Laino: Here we go into Gate 29, which is a sacral gate, which anything in the sacral is always saying, what do I love?
- 34:13Nicole Laino: Is really word saying, what do I really want to put my energy into?
- 34:16Nicole Laino: And gate 29, especially, because this is commitment.
- 34:19Nicole Laino: This is that first signal of what you were talking about going into something just because you love it, just because it's fun, just cause.
- 34:26Nicole Laino: Just because I wanna.
- 34:27Nicole Laino: And then really committing wholeheartedly to that thing.
- 34:31Nicole Laino: But if you try to make it where you've attached yourself to an outcome, that's probably the quickest way to make it fail or for you to go into ruining the energy around this.
- 34:42Nicole Laino: But then at that same time, we have something else that's going on.
- 34:45Nicole Laino: We have pluto in gate 41, and then we have the earth gate in gate 30.
- 34:52Nicole Laino: This forms a channel between the root center and the emotional center.
- 34:57Nicole Laino: So we will all be emotional and we will all have defined roots for that week.
- 35:01Nicole Laino: So just know if you have either one or both of those open, this might be a little bit of a.
- 35:07Nicole Laino: It could be very exciting or it could feel like a lot pressure and emotions combined.
- 35:12Nicole Laino: This is the start of the emotional process around desire.
- 35:18Nicole Laino: This channel dares us to dream and to dream big and to believe that our dreams just because we want them are valid.
- 35:27Nicole Laino: And that's the lesson there at that, like we're getting that, like really asking ourselves, what do I really want?
- 35:34Nicole Laino: If I believed anything were possible that week before is trying to get us to play with possibility.
- 35:38Nicole Laino: If I really believed anything was possible, what would I really want?
- 35:42Nicole Laino: And I have the fuel.
- 35:44Nicole Laino: You will have the fuel.
- 35:45Nicole Laino: We will all have the fuel to take a step in that direction towards something that really matters to us.
- 35:53Nicole Laino: If you hesitate, if you are afraid, what happens here is you can get caught in either.
- 36:00Nicole Laino: It can just feel stressful, which is what we low frequency here feels like.
- 36:04Nicole Laino: This can be a recipe for the greatest time in your life, the greatest adventure or disappointment because you had an idea about how it was going to work out, and it worked out differently, and that's the trap.
- 36:20Nicole Laino: So I'd caution everybody to really take what Christina was saying before to heart, which is detaching from the outcome.
- 36:28Nicole Laino: Playing, experimenting, and just having fun here with these.
- 36:34Nicole Laino: Passion comes from emotions.
- 36:36Nicole Laino: Manifestation is an emotional process.
- 36:40Nicole Laino: It is devoting all of your emotional energy to the possibility of what you want actually happening.
- 36:49Nicole Laino: And I think we're invited into that Leo season, but especially this year, given where these gates are this year, we're getting some channels here that are also adding to this energy of really inviting us into that conversation and that experience.
- 37:06Nicole Laino: Dare to dream and then detach from what that dream has to look.
- 37:10Nicole Laino: I said that to a client the other day.
- 37:12Nicole Laino: I said, I have no doubt you're going to get everything that you want.
- 37:15Nicole Laino: I think you have to let go of what that exactly that will look like and how you will get there.
- 37:21Nicole Laino: I think that is the problem that is causing you stress and that is causing you actually to not move in that direction or get the thing that you want as quickly as it could come because you have an idea about how it all has to happen.
- 37:35Nicole Laino: And that's something that we don't get to choose all of that.
- 37:39Nicole Laino: We have to be open and flexible in that space to just hold the vision and say, I believe this can happen and my whole heart is there now.
- 37:47Nicole Laino: I, you know, look, mom, no hands.
- 37:50Nicole Laino: I'm just going to keep pedaling the bike and letting the sun hit my face and the breeze hit my hair and enjoy this moment and trust that I'm going to get to where I desire to go this or something better.
- 38:02Christina Luna: I love that you mentioned that it's a time to imagine this bigger dream because there are some really, this year, specific transits that are happening in September that this month of August is setting us up perfectly for.
- 38:19Christina Luna: And I think especially this last week of August in that first energy of Virgo, because we have that new moon right at the beginning of Virgo season this year.
- 38:29Christina Luna: I think it's going to be an inventory, a personal inventory.
- 38:33Christina Luna: And I think we're just going to have all the facts.
- 38:36Christina Luna: We're going to know how much material we have.
- 38:38Christina Luna: We're going to be looking at the facts of how much money we have for it.
- 38:41Christina Luna: We're going to be looking at the relationships that we have, the skills that we have inside.
- 38:46Christina Luna: It's just inventory.
- 38:47Christina Luna: If you could just circle that last Week and write inventory lies inventory.
- 38:52Christina Luna: That's going to be so beneficial because as soon as we get into September, latern will be back into Pisces, and then we have our whole eclipse season in Virgo.
- 39:01Christina Luna: And I believe this eclipse season is going to be such a powerful eclipse season for people who really want to take responsibility for themselves authentically.
- 39:12Christina Luna: And so the inventory will set you up.
- 39:16Christina Luna: And it could be very humbling, like, I'm heading it up.
- 39:19Christina Luna: However, the more humble and connected to the truth that we can be, the more grandiose the vision or the dream that can be implanted during that eclipse season can actually become.
- 39:34Christina Luna: And so I don't even know what else to say about it.
- 39:36Christina Luna: It's just this reality check that's in the very best way possible.
- 39:40Christina Luna: Because whatever processes we imagined coming into fruition, we.
- 39:45Christina Luna: We've got this moment of reset, this moment of opening that opportunity again, of opening the larger vision.
- 39:51Christina Luna: Like, I know a lot of entrepreneurs, I work with a lot of female entrepreneurs who are enterprising.
- 39:57Christina Luna: They're bringing in the technologies of the next era, and their dreams are beautiful.
- 40:03Christina Luna: And with all of these outer planets retrograde right now, it could look like these big dreams are somehow sort of slipping into confusion.
- 40:14Christina Luna: Some of the details are getting mixed up.
- 40:16Christina Luna: People we thought were going to invest might not or whatever.
- 40:18Christina Luna: Like whatever all of these things are.
- 40:21Christina Luna: And all it is realignment to a better frequency.
- 40:26Christina Luna: Realignment.
- 40:26Christina Luna: You got all those commitments in a frequency of, well, this is how it all has to go in order for it to come to fruition.
- 40:33Christina Luna: And so I'm so lucky all of these things are coming and we've got attachment to the outcome where, like, I'm super attached to working with this person.
- 40:40Christina Luna: I'm attached to that person being on my team.
- 40:42Christina Luna: I'm attached to these types of investments, blah, blah.
- 40:45Christina Luna: So then those things get a little bit messy, a little bit scrambled because it's trying to reset the vision so it can actually be even bigger than you originally envisioned.
- 40:57Christina Luna: So that dreaming is like, wow, what is actually possible if that one company or that one investor or that one client actually isn't the most high vibe client for you or the most aligned vibe, they could be so high vibe, but it just might not be the right direction.
- 41:14Christina Luna: That this endeavor that has a life of its own that's coming through every creator right now, that's the other thing to witness.
- 41:22Christina Luna: There's this hugeness to what's possible, and we are humbly just the hands for something brilliant and genius that will actually Require many different people's hands.
- 41:34Christina Luna: There's this opening to collaboration that's about to happen.
- 41:38Christina Luna: So a lot of people who thought they were doing things on their own, which is very Virgo y, are suddenly opening up to community collaboration that they never even dreamed of.
- 41:47Christina Luna: Maybe their dream is going to require far more hands than they anticipated.
- 41:53Christina Luna: The era of the Capricornian expert, master leader, top of the pyramid, that era is now over.
- 42:01Christina Luna: And we're now in this vibration of community.
- 42:05Christina Luna: And so who are the communities that your project actually needs support from?
- 42:11Christina Luna: So that's another, like a big thing that I think if you can let go of attachment to how you thought it was gonna go, you can see that this is a realignment.
- 42:19Christina Luna: And then you open up to the faith during the eclipse season in September to receive the acknowledgement that, yes, you are a pillar and a silo of your own.
- 42:30Christina Luna: You are a temple unto yourself.
- 42:32Christina Luna: You are a temple.
- 42:33Christina Luna: Congratulations.
- 42:33Christina Luna: You did the work.
- 42:35Christina Luna: Those temples were not meant to stand alone.
- 42:37Christina Luna: They're part of ancient forest.
- 42:40Christina Luna: And all of the trees together make the ecosystem.
- 42:43Christina Luna: And so where are the roots connecting to those deeper subterranean places where all the extra resource comes through that you didn't even know you needed for scale of what you're creating?
- 42:55Nicole Laino: That's the quarter of duality.
- 42:56Nicole Laino: That's where we are now.
- 42:57Nicole Laino: That's that shift over.
- 42:59Nicole Laino: I mean, you're talking more global.
- 43:01Nicole Laino: But even just this time, this August through, we switch over in November again.
- 43:08Nicole Laino: So this little carve out, this quarter that we have for ourselves here, it is about the connections.
- 43:14Nicole Laino: It is about the relationships.
- 43:15Nicole Laino: It is about being open to not being an island and not being so siloed and not being cut off like you did that in the first half of the year.
- 43:26Nicole Laino: Now it's time to invite people to your party.
- 43:29Nicole Laino: So to be open to relationships changing.
- 43:32Nicole Laino: And this is our quarter.
- 43:34Nicole Laino: So you and I are both Virgo.
- 43:35Nicole Laino: So if you're a Virgo, you are a quarter of duality person.
- 43:38Nicole Laino: And that was like a huge thing for me to understand was the fact that, like, oh, this is actually my great lesson in life, has to do with relationships.
- 43:48Nicole Laino: And if I look at my life, that is the headline of my life.
- 43:52Nicole Laino: Whatever else I've tried to make it all comes down to that.
- 43:56Nicole Laino: And it's the greatest challenge in my life are these.
- 43:59Nicole Laino: Is this relationship component.
- 44:01Nicole Laino: And I just wanted to round out the rest of the month, the 23rd to the 28th.
- 44:05Nicole Laino: We are in an emotional gate again in the sacral.
- 44:08Nicole Laino: But this is emotional.
- 44:09Nicole Laino: It Is the gate of intimacy, the gate 59, highly emotional, very much about breaking down barriers again, relationships again, you know, with the other.
- 44:18Nicole Laino: This is about doing.
- 44:19Nicole Laino: But this is the gate that says, I'm open to a relationship with you.
- 44:24Nicole Laino: I will break down my walls in order to allow somebody else in.
- 44:28Nicole Laino: So it might be time for you to break down your walls or ask yourself, how am I masking myself where people can't really see who I am?
- 44:35Nicole Laino: Or intimacy with yourself that you aren't allowing.
- 44:38Nicole Laino: Where are you lying to yourself?
- 44:39Nicole Laino: And then that last week, stretching us into the first couple of days of September, we're gonna all be emotional again.
- 44:46Nicole Laino: It's gate 40 we go into.
- 44:48Nicole Laino: But gate 40 forms a channel, the 4037 channel.
- 44:51Nicole Laino: Again, these are lessons for everybody, collective lessons.
- 44:54Nicole Laino: The 4037 channel is the channel of community.
- 44:58Nicole Laino: This ties the ego to the emotional system.
- 45:02Nicole Laino: This is the one that says, I take care of you if you take care of me.
- 45:06Nicole Laino: It's the bargain.
- 45:08Nicole Laino: This might be time where deals are being made, where you're consciously connecting with people and saying, I will help you.
- 45:15Nicole Laino: And you hold up your end of the bargain and you ask for something in return.
- 45:19Nicole Laino: It's the ask and give.
- 45:20Nicole Laino: It says, I will emotionally support you and I will materially support you.
- 45:24Nicole Laino: This is like, this is the channel of people coming together and finding balance in relationship and in connection with other people that it don't over give.
- 45:37Nicole Laino: And so that's something that you know, can be brought up there.
- 45:40Nicole Laino: Maybe what might show you where you are self abandoning and giving and not receiving.
- 45:47Nicole Laino: Or it might show you where you're overworking in your own life and you're not asking for help.
- 45:53Nicole Laino: And then we'll be fully into our Virgo season there.
- 45:56Nicole Laino: I mean, we're already in it at that point.
- 45:59Nicole Laino: But have some fun, I think is the real takeaway for August.
- 46:03Nicole Laino: How about you?
- 46:04Nicole Laino: What do you want to leave everybody with?
- 46:06Christina Luna: You know, there's just.
- 46:07Christina Luna: Usually I have a whole bunch of dates for people to circle.
- 46:10Christina Luna: I actually only have two little date things to circle.
- 46:14Christina Luna: The 8th and 9th is going to be a bit of a concentration point.
- 46:18Christina Luna: I would circle those and just remind yourself to stay present, calm, witness, be present, stay as present as you can.
- 46:27Christina Luna: There's going to be movement.
- 46:28Christina Luna: It's very Mars, it's very cardinal.
- 46:31Christina Luna: If we lose control and composure during this time, it could look like yelling.
- 46:36Christina Luna: And if we apply ourselves with presence, it could be breakthrough, like behavioral breakthrough.
- 46:43Christina Luna: And then the other one that I circled is the 12th.
- 46:47Christina Luna: Mercury will have just started Moving direct.
- 46:49Christina Luna: And then we've got the Venus Jupiter conjunction in cancer.
- 46:53Christina Luna: And I think this is, you know, back to school.
- 46:56Christina Luna: And I just think it's a moment where we could be very tender.
- 47:01Christina Luna: We could be feeling very sensitive.
- 47:04Christina Luna: There could be a global issue that really pulls on our heartstrings.
- 47:08Christina Luna: It could be very feminine, emotional, and compassion triggering.
- 47:16Christina Luna: So create emotional safety for yourself.
- 47:18Christina Luna: Go grocery shopping before that day and just have, like, comfort foods for yourself so that you don't have to get out of bed that day.
- 47:26Christina Luna: Like, not even.
- 47:27Christina Luna: Because anything's.
- 47:28Christina Luna: It doesn't have to be bad.
- 47:30Christina Luna: It just could be a day where you're like, oh, yes, treat yourself.
- 47:34Christina Luna: Like, give yourself the massage.
- 47:36Christina Luna: Give yourself all the things, because it will be an extra day.
- 47:39Christina Luna: And I just don't want anyone to be blindsided by how extra it could feel.
- 47:44Nicole Laino: That was how I felt that day that I contacted you.
- 47:46Nicole Laino: I booked a massage.
- 47:47Nicole Laino: I was like, I don't know what to do with myself.
- 47:49Nicole Laino: And I feel like I just need, like, someone to take care of me for a while and be sweet to me and make me feel better.
- 47:56Nicole Laino: And it was the best thing.
- 47:58Nicole Laino: Maybe I'll book a massage for the 12th in advance.
- 48:02Christina Luna: And also remember, you know, book a massage with a nail massage therapist.
- 48:07Christina Luna: Or if you have a female massage therapist, tip her so well.
- 48:10Christina Luna: Be so kind to her because she is working on the day.
- 48:16Nicole Laino: I didn't think about that.
- 48:17Nicole Laino: Okay, male masseuse, August 12th.
- 48:21Nicole Laino: Long deep tissue massage where I'll probably cry on the table.
- 48:25Nicole Laino: Okay, I.
- 48:28Nicole Laino: All right.
- 48:29Nicole Laino: Well, I feel like for me, I just want you all to remember this month to be kind to yourselves.
- 48:35Nicole Laino: But I feel like another one of those moments of just saying, like, what are you really dreaming of?
- 48:41Nicole Laino: And can you allow yourself the space to journal about that?
- 48:45Nicole Laino: Take your journal out and just be like, what do I really want?
- 48:48Nicole Laino: If I didn't worry about the outcome, what would I really want right now?
- 48:52Nicole Laino: That's sort of the.
- 48:54Nicole Laino: The little homework assignment I'm going to give you.
- 48:57Nicole Laino: So anything else?
- 48:58Nicole Laino: We feel complete.
- 49:00Christina Luna: Complete.
