- 0:26I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and I am here with our resident astrologer, my
- 0:31friend, Christina Luna, because we're here with another transit episode for you.
- 0:35The month of May is upon us.
- 0:36This will be airing just two days before May starts, and we're going
- 0:41to kick May into gear by letting you know what we have in store.
- 0:45Christina and I are going to share how we're looking at May, and what's happening
- 0:50in the cosmos, what we're all going to be feeling, and some of the themes.
- 0:54This show is about practical uses for spiritual tools.

- 1:02through your month of May.
- 1:04So to start off, just letting you guys know, if you want to download
- 1:08the human design calendar for the transits for this month, just DM
- 1:12me the word transits on Instagram.
- 1:14I'm @NicoleLainoOfficial, and you can download it right there.
- 1:17We'll send it to you.
- 1:17So, Christina, welcome.
- 1:20Christina Luna: Thank you.
- 1:22Oh my gosh.
- 1:22I feel so grateful to be back here.
- 1:24Thanks for having me back.
- 1:26Nicole Laino: I'm so happy that you are here.
- 1:28It's not the same without you.
- 1:29And I really do mean that.
- 1:30I did one by myself and I was like, I really miss our conversation because
- 1:33this is just a much more fun way, some things I'm teaching, I'm giving
- 1:38people like, this is what something means or my perspective on it.
- 1:41But the transits really, I think there's a huge benefit to adding the astrological
- 1:45aspect and just having another opinion in here of what we're seeing going forward.
- 1:50So how are you feeling?
- 1:53We've gone through two eclipses now, we are into, I can't believe
- 1:58it's May, like we're already into the second quarter of the year.
- 2:02It's crazy.
- 2:04How are you feeling after all the things?
- 2:07Christina Luna: I will say that right now I'm feeling incredible.
- 2:12I'm feeling like I've gone through a valley and come out on the other
- 2:17side and I'm feeling refreshed.
- 2:19I can tell you I really surrendered this year to my instincts, I really
- 2:25surrendered to the desire to go deep into myself, to retreat, to go into a cave.
- 2:33I feel there's so much fertile soil down in the depths and it doesn't
- 2:40feel great when I'm going through it.
- 2:43But, I knew that on the other side of this deep, dark hole that I felt like
- 2:52I was in, that it would be fruitful and bloom just like all of the plants
- 2:56bloom in the spring, just like what we're seeing now, and I'm definitely
- 2:59in that blooming phase right now, so it feels really good to be back.
- 3:04Nicole Laino: I feel the same way, and I had the deep dark
- 3:07stuff, I had that more last year.
- 3:10The end of last year I really felt like I was moving through some thick stuff that
- 3:15I had to go and really look at what was happening in me and I hope that people
- 3:20listening are realizing that all of these things are seasons, and I love these
- 3:24episodes because it's gotten me very focused on the transits in the sense of
- 3:29reminding me every time we do one of these episodes, I mean, I'm reminded every week
- 3:33because in the Lab every week I give them stuff on what transit gate that we're in,
- 3:37so I've had so much focus on this, and it's helped me so much in giving me a tool
- 3:42in those introspective moments where I have to go deep and I have to surrender.
- 3:46It gives me direction for what to ponder or what to ask questions to ask
- 3:52better questions of myself So that I could see what's happening with me.
- 3:57And I feel like that work allowed me to go through I know a lot of people had
- 4:01like crazy eclipse energy, and I really felt pretty darn good through the whole
- 4:09thing with the eclipses for the most part.
- 4:11I didn't feel awful.
- 4:13I was tired, I don't say that I slept well.
- 4:16But I really felt like I was saying to you before we started the call, I feel
- 4:19like something was left behind in that.
- 4:22Something was shed.
- 4:24There was some chapters that closed.
- 4:26There were some things that I'm no longer carrying that maybe
- 4:30intellectually I thought I had gotten rid of a long time ago.
- 4:33And now I know what they feel like when they're gone.
- 4:36And to me that's what I always feel like whenever I level up in some way.
- 4:40I know I'm different now.
- 4:43And it's such a reaffirming feeling of the work that we do.
- 4:48Because I think we could get discouraged., Because when you're in the thick when
- 4:51you're in the depths of it, it is not fun.
- 4:54It is not easy.
- 4:56But I've never had a time where I didn't come out of that feeling like you do now.
- 5:01That blooming of what I'm capable of now.
- 5:04The joy, the heights that I can reach now that I am no longer
- 5:08carrying the heavy stuff, or I've worked through those heavy things,
- 5:12is just worth it every single time.
- 5:15Christina Luna: Yeah, we could even relate this to a seed, right?
- 5:18A seed is an end result of a whole growth cycle from the
- 5:23parent tree that it came from.
- 5:25And it has to go deep into the earth and have a certain level of moisture
- 5:29and darkness which is like emotion and confusion in order to feel that internal
- 5:38compulsion to break out of the shell of that seed and make its way to the light.
- 5:44And sometimes Aries season can kind of feel that way.
- 5:48And for me, especially.
- 5:49For some people, I'm sure their recipe lends a little bit more to that
- 5:55compulsion to dig deep and get out of your shell to shed a previous identity
- 6:01so that you could become something new.
- 6:04And so the seed is now becoming something brand new.
- 6:08It's no longer a seed.
- 6:09It is now a new incarnation for the next growth cycle.
- 6:13And in so many ways, I could relate to that.
- 6:16And it's disorienting because sometimes when we shed parts of our identity,
- 6:22we don't really know what is going to come forward through the next cycle.
- 6:27But Taurus season is perfect for helping to clarify all of that.
- 6:32It feels so good to be an earth sign now, where we get to have tangible evidence of
- 6:37all the things that we're investing in, that we're putting our resources into,
- 6:42that we have the time and energy for.
- 6:44I'm definitely feeling all this earth energy right now, and I'd love
- 6:48to talk more about how we can use this earth energy moving forward.
- 6:54Nicole Laino: We're two happy Virgos right now.
- 6:56We're both like, give me all of the grounding energy.
- 7:00So let's talk about that.
- 7:01Give us a little highlight of how are you looking at Taurus
- 7:03season and what does that even mean to somebody who doesn't know?
- 7:08Christina Luna: First of all, Taurus is the second part of the manifesting cycle.
- 7:13It is the maintenance part of the manifesting cycle.
- 7:15So, let's look at Aries just for a moment before we talk about Taurus.
- 7:20Aries is the initiating force.
- 7:23And an example of this could be what if in Aries season you
- 7:27decide you're going to initiate a new like physical health ritual.
- 7:32Maybe you're starting a workout routine, maybe you're starting some new habits,
- 7:36maybe new habits in your work flow.
- 7:39So we initiate all of these changes in Aries season.
- 7:42And in Taurus season we're maintaining those changes over
- 7:47time to see if they can grow legs.
- 7:51Maybe we made adjustments to our team.
- 7:54Maybe we've made adjustments to our diet.
- 7:56Whatever those adjustments were in Aries season, now we get to stick to them.
- 8:01We get to create habits around them.
- 8:04We've got to sustain them for a period of time of at least four
- 8:10weeks, at least a moon cycle.
- 8:11And if we stick with them for that full period of time during Taurus season, we
- 8:16can actually make new neural pathways that will change the way that we move, behave,
- 8:23and think, and then the habit is no longer something that we're trying to maintain,
- 8:28it becomes a fixed experience in our life.
- 8:31And that's what Taurus season is designed to do.
- 8:34So it can sometimes feel like monotonous work, doing something habitually,
- 8:40having consistency, showing up, making sure that you stick to it.
- 8:45The theme that I channeled for Taurus season and for May was
- 8:49about staying in the game now that you've made the adjustments.
- 8:54Can you hold that new standard that you've set for yourself
- 8:59throughout the month of May?
- 9:01And so it can feel a little bit boring because we're not introducing all kinds
- 9:06of novelty, but honestly, after the month that we had in April, I think all of us
- 9:11are ready for some stability and less surprises, a little bit less novelty.
- 9:18Nicole Laino: Less shock.
- 9:20Yeah,
- 9:21Christina Luna: Yeah.
- 9:22Nicole Laino: I feel all of that.
- 9:23And one of the things that I wanted to talk about, right on the back of what
- 9:26you're saying about Taurus season, is in the month of May, we move into the
- 9:31next quarter, which the human design wheel is broken up into quarters.
- 9:35And the first quarter is all about thinking and ideas and putting
- 9:40those things out in the world.
- 9:41It's called the quarter of initiation and basically what it's doing
- 9:46is it's about the ideas, the big ideas, the big thoughts, the next
- 9:50thing is coming in that section.
- 9:53And now we're moving into the quarter of civilization, which the quarter
- 9:57of civilization is about, this is where the rubber meets the road.
- 10:00Now we've got to see, can we make this happen?
- 10:03It's where infrastructure comes in.
- 10:05It's where planning comes in.
- 10:08Now let's see if we can make this into something.
- 10:11Quarter of civilization is about "manifesting" and the themes of
- 10:17this month are very much centered around that because this quarter has
- 10:21all the gates of the throat center.
- 10:22May is not a hundred percent throat, but it is mostly throat.
- 10:28And the throat center is the center of manifestation in human design.
- 10:31And by manifestation, we don't mean good thoughts.
- 10:34Manifestation is about bringing into form, bringing it from the thought
- 10:39in the first quarter of the year.
- 10:41Now let's bring it into the earth, let's bring it into the grounding, let's
- 10:45actually realize it and materialize it.
- 10:49And I feel that.
- 10:50Intellectually I see it in the chart, I see it here, but it's
- 10:54also my energy, that's exactly what it wants to do right now.
- 10:57And I think that's so interesting, if you can start to observe that.
- 11:00What we're talking about, how is it already happening?
- 11:03It's not something you have to make happen, it's happening.
- 11:06Can you surrender to it, and can you use that energy, and you
- 11:10use it by surrendering to it.
- 11:11You use it by not fighting what's happening.
- 11:14And observing what's happening to you.
- 11:17For me, I'm very naturally going into this phase of getting more
- 11:21detailed with our plan, more focused.
- 11:24We start off the month of May with Gate 2, which is what kicks off this
- 11:29quarter, Gate 2 is the gate of direction.
- 11:32It is the gate of, I know where I'm going.
- 11:35It is in the G center.
- 11:36It is about, I know.
- 11:39That inner knowing of this is the way.
- 11:43And I love that this month starts off with it.
- 11:45I love that this quarter starts off with it.
- 11:47It's part of the channel of the beat, which is the 2-14.
- 11:50Which is the fuel that fuels our direction if you have that whole channel.
- 11:54It's like an arrow.
- 11:55It's the back of the arrow being pulled and you point it in the direction.
- 11:59And it's about you knowing your own direction so that your arrow
- 12:03goes straight and on course.
- 12:06And I'm so in that energy right now, even though it's not here yet.
- 12:09I'm being pulled that way.
- 12:11It's like my energy knows this is coming and I'm having fun with it Not
- 12:18forcing it, it just feels really right.
- 12:20I don't know if that resonates at all for you, or if you're feeling the same
- 12:25things, but I just find this stuff so fascinating, how it's already there.
- 12:31Christina Luna: Yeah, I love hearing the angle that you're looking at this
- 12:35from with human design, because I can totally see how that energy is
- 12:41actually a really similar energy to what I'm seeing with the astrology.
- 12:46With the astrology in the first week of May, we are starting out with the
- 12:51Six of Pentacles, and this is about understanding which parts of our life need
- 12:56more attention and which ones need less?
- 12:59So it's about having a actual tangible assessment of how you're going to
- 13:04reallocate your resources and your attention and the month actually starts
- 13:09out with a bit of a squaring energy between the version of us that is
- 13:15receptive to our natural environment and the version of us that knows that the
- 13:21fine tuning that we're doing right now is bringing in a whole new era for us.
- 13:26So, there's a lot of assessment energy happening here.
- 13:29Let's get very clear and let's take decisive action.
- 13:33Let's see what needs to be done and let's just do it.
- 13:36Nicole Laino: I love that you even used the word receptive, because
- 13:40that is what Gate 2 is about.
- 13:41It is about being receptive to the inner knowing.
- 13:48It's not receptive to all the outside, it's receptive to
- 13:52your own intuition and knowing.
- 13:55That I'll know where I'm going without having to think so much about it.
- 13:58The plans have been laid, the ideas are out there, now it's just about
- 14:02being receptive to what is correct for me and I'll know that internally.
- 14:08So I love that you used that word.
- 14:10It felt very appropriate for that conversation.
- 14:15Let's talk about the rest of the month and talk about what else we're
- 14:18feeling and seeing coming over for us.
- 14:20So we have that theme of bringing those big ideas, the sparks that were lit and
- 14:25now see if we can keep the fire going.
- 14:28And what are the right pieces for that fire?
- 14:31What is really going to have?
- 14:33Because to me it's so much about, I use that word infrastructure
- 14:36because infrastructure is what allows something to work continuously.
- 14:41It's not just I built it.
- 14:42It's I built it well.
- 14:44There's enough core and foundation there that this is right.
- 14:48It's an investment of the energy, and the time, and the planning, and the resources.
- 14:54So I love that and I feel like that's what I'm taking away from this month.
- 14:59So I'm curious how are you seeing the rest of the month shaping up?
- 15:03Is that a theme that feel carries for you, too?
- 15:06Christina Luna: Absolutely.
- 15:07Even if we looked specifically at the weeks as they go through
- 15:11May, the second week of May is all about the seven of Pentacles.
- 15:15And that shows a person who has invested a lot, they've done the
- 15:19work, and now they're watching and waiting for the fruits of their
- 15:23labor to come to full ripeness.
- 15:27They're just watching and waiting and trusting and knowing that
- 15:31they have put in the appropriate amount of energy and focus.
- 15:34So it's less about toil.
- 15:37And more about trusting that that investment is coming to fruition.
- 15:44And then the eight of Pentacles is now that that harvest is ready, how am I going
- 15:50to prepare this harvest for the market?
- 15:53And so there's a little bit of understanding that even when our fruit
- 15:59have come to ripeness, there's a little bit more work that needs to be done
- 16:04to bring it into a deliverable for the marketplace or for our life to devour.
- 16:10And so the sensation I have is, you know, how people talk about mining for gold.
- 16:16And when you began digging for gold, you're fairly certain there might be gold
- 16:21where you're digging, but it's sort of a act of trust and you methodically dig
- 16:27and dig and dig and trust and trust and trust and some times when you're about
- 16:33three feet away from the gold you can get this little bit of fear that maybe you're
- 16:39digging in the wrong direction, or maybe you've put in a lot of work, and you're
- 16:43not really sure if it's gonna pay off.
- 16:45But this is a month where we are assured, and we continue digging that
- 16:51last three feet, and the thing that's crazy is that when you actually hit
- 16:56the gold, the digging doesn't stop.
- 16:58In fact, the digging just changes into a different type of digging, right?
- 17:04You're methodically digging until you hit the gold and when you hit the gold
- 17:07all of a sudden you're clawing at the dirt because you're so excited because
- 17:11you've hit that personal gold for you.
- 17:14And I feel like may is that kind of month where just keep going and then yes.
- 17:19It's like Eureka!
- 17:20I did it!
- 17:21Yes, this is it!
- 17:23And I think that's going to herald in a bit of a change
- 17:27for the last two weeks of May.
- 17:28I think May is going to transition to a much more energized, excited moment for us
- 17:36because we have Jupiter moving into Gemini as well as the Sun and as well as Venus.
- 17:41We've got all of these excited beneficial planets moving into the sign of Gemini
- 17:47which is going to expand the energy and the excitement and the mental
- 17:51stimulation the same way it would feel if you suddenly struck gold.
- 17:58Nicole Laino: I love that.
- 17:59Well, Taurus is known for being kind of stubborn, right?
- 18:02The bull?
- 18:03Christina Luna: I think they're stubborn just because they're willing to stick
- 18:06with something for the long haul.
- 18:09Nicole Laino: Like digging for gold and just not giving up and like that
- 18:12good stubborn of just being committed.
- 18:15And being like, nope, I know.
- 18:18I know where I'm going, we're on our way.
- 18:20I trust that it's here.
- 18:21I trust that there's gold under here.
- 18:23And I feel that in kind of what you were talking about, just in the context of
- 18:27human design, second week we go into gate 23, which is big, bold energy of
- 18:33really sharing insights and really having a lot of trust in your own knowing.
- 18:40Not about your direction, about your insights, about what you know.
- 18:43It is connected to the gate of insights.
- 18:45It's called assimilation, which is not a great word to help you understand
- 18:49what it really means, but it's about being able to speak insights.
- 18:52It's about being able to articulate what you know and that spontaneous
- 18:58way that insights can come out.
- 19:01Really having a deep connection to, I just know.
- 19:05I just know.
- 19:06So there's a lot of that intuition coming in and then we shift over in
- 19:11the third week we get to gate eight, which is about contribution, which is
- 19:15about lifting other people up, which is about looking around and saying who
- 19:20can I help and maybe who can help me?
- 19:22It's about also articulating your individuality, I feel like it's
- 19:27like a personal blooming of really trusting yourself and then being
- 19:31able to act on that trust and really feeling empowered to do that.
- 19:37Some months I see the changes that I'm like, we're going to have this energy
- 19:41and then maybe it's going to drop, and this month feels very smooth and
- 19:46exciting, like you were saying, even in those last two weeks of the month.
- 19:52We hit into Gate 20, which is a gate of being ready.
- 19:56That's how I look at it.
- 19:57It's the one that's ready to spontaneously act and just say, I'm going now.
- 20:02But also beware of being impatient.
- 20:05That's the one shift there.
- 20:07Gate 20, if there's a pitfall, it's this gate above all
- 20:12other gates in my experience.
- 20:13This is not a textbook thing, this is just what I have noticed.
- 20:16I've worked with a lot of people with Gate 20 in their chart in prominent places,
- 20:20and the biggest thing with those people is that they become really impatient with
- 20:24their own pace, with their own process.
- 20:28I want it now, I want it yesterday.
- 20:30Don't care how, I want it now.
- 20:32To their detriment.
- 20:34Because really what you need to do is settle into you will be
- 20:38ready, and when you are ready, you will move without effort.
- 20:43You will move and it will come to you probably in a different
- 20:46way than you forcing it.
- 20:47Beware of the force.
- 20:49Beware of pushing at that stage.
- 20:52And then the end of the month is known as the gate of skills,
- 20:55but you brought up excitement.
- 20:56It's literally called the gate of enthusiasm, which is really
- 21:00just about being so jazzed about the thing that you're doing.
- 21:04And if you look at the whole energy of it, it's really about when
- 21:08you're excited about something, you can't help but share it.
- 21:10And if there's preparation in those last two weeks, if I string these
- 21:14together and give some sort of idea for it, it's be patient, don't push.
- 21:21When you are surrendered to that, the excitement is going to be there.
- 21:25Let the excitement carry you rather than your own impatience and your own timeline.
- 21:31Can you surrender to the timeline and trust that the methodical
- 21:35work that you're putting in, now it's not just a foundation.
- 21:39The idea has been there for a while.
- 21:40You've put some things into motion, but now let's lay the real infrastructure
- 21:45so that things can be sustainable.
- 21:47So that things can not just work right now, can you use this energy to say,
- 21:51what am I building that I want to last?
- 21:55And can you trust the knowing of what's really meant to last?
- 21:59Can you surrender to your idea of how it was supposed to be?
- 22:02And instead, surrender your idea of what it was supposed to be and
- 22:05surrender to the idea that I will just know and to trust and build what feels
- 22:11right and allow that to serve you.
- 22:14And then by letting go of that, let the excitement carry you.
- 22:18Those are all the themes that I feel very much brewing in me.
- 22:21And then I looked at this month to prepare for this and I was
- 22:23like, oh, all of that is where my mind and my energy wants to go.
- 22:28So I feel like May is going to be a good month.
- 22:30I'm excited for it.
- 22:32It feels energizing.
- 22:34Christina Luna: am very excited about it too.
- 22:36And you said it so elegantly.
- 22:38Everything that you just said, I was thinking about the gold.
- 22:41How you get that sensation where you want to rush and then you want
- 22:44to go out and share this bubble of bliss or this discovery before you're
- 22:50really ready to, so just be patient.
- 22:52If it's yours, it will not pass you by.
- 22:55You can rest in the security of knowing that you worked hard.
- 22:59We've done the work.
- 23:01We've shown up to our life.
- 23:03We've rested and relaxed into faith.
- 23:05We've trusted our own ability to show up for ourselves and for the things
- 23:11that we care about in the world.
- 23:13There's some kind of assuredness that it feels we're being
- 23:18granted in the month of May.
- 23:20Like, here you are.
- 23:22You've done it.
- 23:23Congratulations, you're here.
- 23:25And now just be with the process of that.
- 23:29Nicole Laino: Yeah.
- 23:30And it's funny because all of the gates, everything we talk about in astrology,
- 23:34these are universal human lessons.
- 23:36That's why they're powerful to go through.
- 23:38And if you go through them every year and you start paying attention to this stuff.
- 23:42It starts to change who you are, which changes your life.
- 23:45And when I think about that impatience part, and I'm not even
- 23:49telling people to build one thing.
- 23:51I'm just telling you to build with purpose and not out of impatience,
- 23:57or not building something because you think you need to do a million
- 24:01things and you've got too many things.
- 24:03If anything, is this energy and this month calling you to focus a bit more?
- 24:10And one of the things that's interesting, that end gate, the end of the month
- 24:14ends on gate 16, which is that gate of enthusiasm, skills, the opposite.
- 24:20So when the sun is in one gate, the earth is in its opposite.
- 24:24So it grounds it.
- 24:26You get that polarity.
- 24:27Gate 16, the polarity is gate nine, which is the gate of details, which is
- 24:32the gate of focus and concentration.
- 24:34And if anything, are you allowing yourself to focus?
- 24:39And notice if you're not, notice if anything that we're
- 24:42mentioning for this month.
- 24:44You may feel too scattered to do.
- 24:47I feel like this month calls you to focus your energy and to build something.
- 24:54When I think about the last two weeks, like the gate 20 of readiness
- 24:58and that shadow of impatience.
- 25:01I know that even two years ago, if I were hearing this, it's the work I
- 25:06have done that's allowing me to see this and be like, oh, I can use this.
- 25:11It's not that I know what Gate 20 is, it's that I know what the difference between me
- 25:16being impatient and me being patient are.
- 25:19And how being grounded in my energy is what allows me to
- 25:25build something that lasts.
- 25:27That allows me to focus my energy so that I can actually get results and
- 25:31move the needle with something rather than feeling like I need to be busy all
- 25:35the time and be in my shadows of that.
- 25:38I love these lessons that we get from the transits from being curious about
- 25:45all of this stuff that's going on.
- 25:49Christina Luna: Yeah, I'm happy that you brought up those last two gates again,
- 25:51because I talked about the most aligned or efficient or maybe the most graceful way
- 26:00that we could use those last two weeks.
- 26:02The last two weeks are actually the nine and ten of swords from
- 26:05a elemental perspective, and the nine of swords is sometimes like
- 26:10waking up from the nightmare.
- 26:12And the relief of waking up from the nightmare is realizing
- 26:15that it was all in your head.
- 26:17The illusion that has been made up in our minds about what all of this is supposed
- 26:23to look like is actually just an illusion.
- 26:26And so that whole week from the 19th to the 25th finally, we're
- 26:31waking up from this nightmare.
- 26:33We're waking up from some mental perspective that was
- 26:36never true to begin with.
- 26:38And finally we're liberated from that.
- 26:40And the Ten of Swords is the end of this mental anguish, the end of having to
- 26:48overthink all of this, so you could find yourself holding the tension of these
- 26:54because some of us love the adrenaline of holding tension, and if that's the
- 27:03recipe that you enjoy, those last two weeks are going to be ripe for that.
- 27:07And if you a recipe that wants to succumb or surrender or use the patience rather
- 27:15than use the energy of impatience.
- 27:17We can use either one and have different experiences.
- 27:20And there are different areas of our life where we're probably
- 27:23real cool, confident, collected.
- 27:25And other areas where Well, it's a little harder for me to
- 27:28be patient about that, right?
- 27:30And so, having that context before we enter into these arenas can help
- 27:36us to get this higher perspective and be like, is there some kind of
- 27:39nightmare I'm waking up from right now?
- 27:41Is there some kind of mental anguish I can put an end to right now and learn
- 27:46something from the process that I've been a part of for the last month?
- 27:50Nicole Laino: Well, I mean it's those chapters of the mental game closing too.
- 27:54I love what you brought up there waking up from the nightmare.
- 27:59And yeah, it was all a dream.
- 28:01Because it is all in our heads, all of this.
- 28:04And can you just allow these things?
- 28:05I love the term that we use in human design.
- 28:08Can you be a screen, not a sponge?
- 28:10Can you allow things to flow through you where you feel them, you notice
- 28:14them, you observe them, but then you don't hold on to any of it,
- 28:18you don't put any meaning on it.
- 28:20Cause that's the choice that we have.
- 28:22What meaning do you put on these things, on the things that you
- 28:26feel, and the things that you do, on the stuff that you see?
- 28:29What meanings do you put on them?
- 28:31You are so affected by the meanings that you put on things, the stories
- 28:36you tell yourself about all the things.
- 28:39That's the only thing you have control over.
- 28:41You can't control what is happening.
- 28:44So I hope that this made everybody feel empowered and excited about
- 28:50May, because I'm really excited.
- 28:51We have a bunch of people that just joined my program, that are coming
- 28:54into my world and there's a lot of excited energy around everyone.
- 28:58I think there's a big opportunity for us to ride this wave of May and
- 29:03have some really solid stuff that comes out of it that, that supports
- 29:09us for the rest of the year ahead.
- 29:11That's how I'm looking at it.
- 29:12How does the work that we do in May, this is the tangible work.
- 29:16We were doing some inner work.
- 29:18We purged some stuff.
- 29:19Now that we've purged, and we've moved on, and we've energetically leveled up.
- 29:24Hopefully if you did the work over the last several months, now the
- 29:29tangible results of that are you being able to apply yourself in a different
- 29:36and a new and a more focused way that that can help you make the rest
- 29:41of the year a whole lot smoother.
- 29:44And then you can be focusing your energy on other things rather than trying to
- 29:49recreate the wheel or making things happen or going back to your big idea.
- 29:54There's so much opportunity here is my gut feeling.
- 29:59Christina Luna: Yeah.
- 29:59And speaking of the year as it unfolds, May is the earth sign
- 30:05where all of those processes and the manifestations begin that will come
- 30:10into a large harvest in September, the next time we have an earth sign.
- 30:15So, thinking about the trajectory into September and also, astrologically,
- 30:21Pluto is going to begin retrograding back toward Capricorn and
- 30:25entering Capricorn in September.
- 30:27So, we're going to get another Pluto alignment, the very last
- 30:30Pluto alignment in Capricorn from September to November of this year.
- 30:34So whatever we're putting into place here in May, that is going to set
- 30:39the table, set the garden, it's gonna set that foundation for the harvest
- 30:45of this final Capricornian haul and it's the last haul for our lifetime.
- 30:52So it's really an ending of that type of harvest.
- 30:56And if you've had conversations with me in other spaces about what a
- 31:00Capricornian harvest is, it's pretty much what we've been used to for the last
- 31:0416 years, where you can create a live launch, you can create a masterclass,
- 31:10you can enter people into the gifts and services that you provide through
- 31:14these sort of traditional routes.
- 31:17This is the last year that some of those traditional routes will work really well.
- 31:21We're changing into a whole new currency beyond this year.
- 31:24And we're all learning, we're all adjusting, all of us are learning
- 31:28this new currency and that currency is about the somatic sensation
- 31:32of our body, our authenticity, the currency of our connections.
- 31:37I've discovered a lot of people have shared with me that they're finding
- 31:42things that are far more valuable than the currency of cash these days.
- 31:47There's something that's changing about the gravity of old currencies
- 31:54and the new currencies of presence, joy, pleasure, lightness.
- 32:00Freedom from anxiety, a regulated nervous system.
- 32:03These are suddenly becoming so valuable.
- 32:06And so there's a, there's this massive shift happening, but we do have this
- 32:11tiny window of time where some of the old methods will still work into the fall.
- 32:18And so may as well set them up, continue to create connections
- 32:24beyond that and understand that from 2025 and on, we're entering a whole
- 32:30new arena, which is something I definitely want to talk to you about.
- 32:33That we had initially discussed when we first started talking, Nicole, about
- 32:37the changeover that happens in 2026.
- 32:39That's something I really want to talk about, but here we are still
- 32:42in 2024 and we just have a little bit of this more tried and tested
- 32:46methodologies available to us right now.
- 32:49Nicole Laino: We're all being called to something new, and yeah,
- 32:52we should do an episode on that.
- 32:54I think that would be really fun to talk about.
- 32:56I've talked a little bit about the 2027 shift in human design,
- 33:00but we're already feeling it.
- 33:02We're already feeling those changes.
- 33:04And I think that's what you're talking about.
- 33:06These shifts that are happening over time.
- 33:10Before the big shift comes.
- 33:12And think that's why so many people are being called to this work.
- 33:16People are more interested in tools like astrology, human design and nervous
- 33:21system regulation than ever before.
- 33:23That stuff all sounded crazy.
- 33:25Now everybody is into it to some degree and starting to see the validity in it.
- 33:29Because I think we're all getting called to leading ourselves differently
- 33:33and really being called to new levels of our own individuality.
- 33:38So, for another time, so be on the lookout.
- 33:41We're gonna have a conversation about that in the coming weeks.
- 33:44You and I will work out a time.
- 33:46But, in the meantime, anything you want to leave everybody with?
- 33:49I know we talked about a lot, I feel like we've summed up a lot.
- 33:51Is there a last word you'd like to leave the people with?
- 33:55Christina Luna: Just be there for the ride.
- 33:56Always now my advice is always like, oh, don't even listen.
- 34:00Just feel it out.
- 34:01Nicole Laino: I think what I would like to leave everybody with is trust yourself.
- 34:06Notice, be an observer of what's happening, be real curious, not
- 34:10critical, and ride the wave.
- 34:13And if you want the calendar to know what's happening for this month,
- 34:16just DM me the word calendar on Instagram, I'm @NicoleLainoOfficial.
