  Hello and welcome to Unshakeable With Human Design, everybody.
• 0:27
  I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and I am here with the lovely, talented,
• 0:31
  and beautiful friend Christina Luna.
• 0:34
  Hello, my love.
• 0:35
  How are you?
• 0:36
  Hello, Nicole.
• 0:37
  I am so good.
• 0:38
  I'm so grateful to be with you.
• 0:40
  I'm so happy to be doing this.
• 0:41
  So it is our June transit episode coming to you a few days late.
• 0:45
  That's okay though.
• 0:46
  We're gonna catch you up.
• 0:48
  So much is happening in the month of June.
• 0:51
  I was just saying to you, we were kind of chatting before we hit record that like
• 0:55
  I hadn't really paid attention to what was happening in June until I started
• 0:58
  preparing for this episode and I was like.
• 1:01
  There's actually a lot, and I think a lot of people we get into like summer mode.
• 1:05
  We were just talking about how school's ending for you guys.
• 1:08
  School ended already Memorial, like before Memorial Day for my son.
• 1:12
  So we are already like fully into the summer vacation swing here.
• 1:17
  I think there's that sense of like things slowing down for summer
• 1:20
  and actually that's not at all.
• 1:23
  I mean, June is already in a high energy month.
• 1:26
  Cosmically, do you wanna talk a little bit about like flowing from like that we're
• 1:31
  going Gemini and cancer and just kind of what we've got going on there as far
• 1:36
  as like what do you see energetically, like what's the vibe of June?
• 1:40
  Yeah, so the vibe of June, the vibe of Gemini season.
• 1:44
  You know, we, we kind of had an interesting break the last few
• 1:47
  years because we had Saturn moving retrograde early in the month of
• 1:50
  June for the last couple of years.
• 1:53
  And so it almost felt like we got this slowing down sensation,
• 1:57
  but not this year, this year.
• 1:59
  And I honestly think the reason why we both kind of slept on June is
• 2:03
  because May required us to be so.
• 2:05
  Present with what was right in front of us.
• 2:09
  It was really difficult to sort of time travel or be putting on anything extra
• 2:14
  than what was right in front of us.
• 2:16
  And so that tar season had a slowing way down and stabilizing a new reality.
• 2:22
  But June is a different animal.
• 2:24
  We have stabilized in new reality, but now we're telling new stories
• 2:28
  about what this reality is.
• 2:30
  About.
• 2:31
  And so the energy of this June specifically has us seeing a contrast
• 2:38
  between the old stories we used to tell about our lives, the old
• 2:43
  goals, possibilities that we used to think were available to us.
• 2:47
  And we have a whole new experience of what's possible now.
• 2:51
  And so in some ways it can kind of stop you on your track.
• 2:55
  It can make you sort of like paralysis by analysis because it's a really mental
• 3:00
  time and we have so much new information coming in through the physical senses
• 3:06
  due to both Saturn and Neptune and Aries.
• 3:09
  Now we've got like a lot of background Aries information coming in, making
• 3:14
  us really, really clear about the signals our physical body is giving us.
• 3:19
  And the physical experience of our reality requires new stories.
• 3:24
  And so there could be some disconnect between what we think is going
• 3:28
  on and what we feel is going on.
• 3:30
  And June has us slowing being with all of that, slowing down enough
• 3:34
  to notice that there's a difference here, and then mentally constructing a
• 3:38
  whole new story about what's going on.
• 3:40
  So this is a different June than we've had in the last few
• 3:44
  years, and I feel that already.
• 3:46
  And when I was looking at this, I was like, I'm like, oh no, this is.
• 3:50
  Get ready people because we have, I think whenever we feel shifts, it's like just
• 3:55
  when you get comfortable then you know something changes and it's time for us.
• 4:00
  I think when you don't have tools like this, you start questioning,
• 4:02
  why do I feel different?
• 4:04
  Why is this, I felt so good.
• 4:06
  I felt like things were picking up, or I felt like I was slowing down
• 4:10
  and now what's happening now it's, this is just a different part of
• 4:14
  the ride and I think this is what the, we do these episodes and.
• 4:19
  We pay attention to things like astrology and human design to help
• 4:23
  us even know that we're on a ride.
• 4:25
  That the ride is not all like personal for us.
• 4:28
  We are all collectively on a ride.
• 4:31
  And when you surrender to the ride and just go, oh, it's just another part of.
• 4:36
  This ride and this June happens to have, let's talk about some of the things
• 4:41
  that we're seeing, I mean, right now.
• 4:44
  So as we're recording this, we are in, the sun is in the 35th gate
• 4:48
  of the human design wheel, and the 35th gate is a gate of progress.
• 4:52
  And this is one of those things, I think that this is a funny
• 4:54
  gate because progress, it's a what does progress really mean?
• 4:58
  And I think one of the questions I wanted to kick this episode off
• 5:02
  with and kick June off with is.
• 5:05
  Progress sometimes is our idea of what progress should, it's
• 5:11
  what change do I want to make?
• 5:14
  And 35 never is satisfied sitting still for even a moment, but sometimes what
• 5:20
  that can lead to is that impatience.
• 5:22
  The shadow of it is called hunger.
• 5:24
  And I think that that's a great word for it because it's just.
• 5:28
  It's sort of blind hunger of like more.
• 5:31
  Next, what's next?
• 5:33
  Where are we going?
• 5:33
  What are we doing now we've gotta move, we've gotta change, we've
• 5:36
  gotta make something happen.
• 5:37
  Progress is calling, but sometimes progress does need to
• 5:42
  be a little bit more measured.
• 5:44
  Or to take stock of what is here?
• 5:47
  Where have you already grown is a question that I kind of want to put to people.
• 5:51
  And I see this a lot in my business and with clients that I'm working with.
• 5:55
  They want something more.
• 5:57
  They want something different.
• 5:58
  So they think that the only thing that they could do now is to do more stuff
• 6:02
  or to make some big radical change.
• 6:05
  A lot of times it just requires you to sit, ask the question and actually
• 6:09
  look at what you have already.
• 6:11
  How are you already resourced, and what is this change really calling.
• 6:18
  I. From you?
• 6:19
  What is it really asking you to do?
• 6:22
  Because the change that you want, the progress that you wanna
• 6:24
  create might require a different tool than you're used to using.
• 6:28
  Oh my gosh.
• 6:29
  I'm so happy you're talking about this because I got a download
• 6:33
  around like the 23rd of May.
• 6:35
  That was about this time specifically related to progress, and this week,
• 6:40
  the first week of June typically is.
• 6:43
  Um, the archetypal story arc is about the night of swords and the
• 6:46
  Night of Swords has this energy of wanting to move fast and wanting to
• 6:51
  like forge forward and cut ahead.
• 6:53
  And the message I'm receiving for this year is that progress doesn't
• 6:57
  look like progress when you're building pressure and the metaphoric.
• 7:03
  Storyline that is different this year than in years past is imagine that
• 7:08
  you've spent a lot of time creating something like a steam engine train,
• 7:13
  and you've laid all the tracks and you've meticulously created this vessel.
• 7:18
  And the way that the vessel moves forward is that you load, uh,
• 7:22
  logs of fuel into the furnace.
• 7:25
  The furnace boils the water, and the water builds the steam in a compartment.
• 7:29
  And once the en enough pressure is built in that compartment,
• 7:32
  it begins to move the mechanism.
• 7:34
  And then your engine begins moving in a way that has a locomotive
• 7:39
  like power that won't stop.
• 7:42
  But if you look, think about a steam engine, it starts slowly and then it
• 7:46
  begins its motion, and then you need less pressure built once it gets in motion.
• 7:51
  But this period of time could feel like.
• 7:54
  Pressure and pressure doesn't always feel like progress, even though it is in fact.
• 8:00
  Or, you know, if we end up feeling like things aren't moving, things aren't
• 8:04
  moving, we're not making progress, we're not going fast enough, and
• 8:07
  we stop taking the logs out of the furnace, it will actually diminish
• 8:11
  the steam and it will cool down.
• 8:13
  Everything, and we'll try to find the next shiny thing that will get things moving.
• 8:19
  But the real thing that gets things moving are those logs on the fire.
• 8:23
  The consistent progression of pressure will get the mechanism moving.
• 8:30
  And so we could find ourselves not enjoying some of that pressure.
• 8:34
  And honestly, the pressure is on more so than anything.
• 8:37
  It's on our minds.
• 8:39
  To create a new story.
• 8:41
  So if there's any circumstances in our lives right now that feel like
• 8:45
  they're, we're stuck between a, a rock and a hard place, or things just aren't
• 8:49
  changing or things just aren't moving.
• 8:51
  The place that the pressure's building is to break our minds, and we literally
• 8:56
  had a Sun Mercury kini on the 30th of May, which was designed to actually give
• 9:02
  us a brainwash or break our minds open a little bit so that we could call in
• 9:07
  creative New story as we start this week.
• 9:10
  Yeah.
• 9:11
  And as you were giving that metaphor of building pressure, and then, you
• 9:15
  know, the word that kept coming to me is that pressure is ultimately creating
• 9:19
  the momentum that you'll see later.
• 9:22
  As long as you don't get in the way of the pressure doing its thing and of.
• 9:26
  The progress that's being made.
• 9:28
  So trusting.
• 9:29
  Sometimes you have to do something.
• 9:31
  You have to.
• 9:32
  I think the other thing, the 35th gate is the polarity, is the fifth
• 9:35
  gate, and the fifth gate says we don't have to do anything.
• 9:38
  Nature takes care of itself.
• 9:40
  We have to trust that when we've done the work.
• 9:43
  Sometimes you just need to lean back and let the work do the work.
• 9:46
  There's more happening beneath the surface than you could see.
• 9:51
  And the 35 is saying, no, we've gotta do more.
• 9:53
  What else are we gonna do?
• 9:54
  What are we gonna change?
• 9:55
  What are we gonna, and there's, there's like this manic kind of never satisfied.
• 9:58
  The 35 is never satisfied.
• 10:00
  So where are you finding that you are not satisfied?
• 10:03
  And is that real or is that just, you've got an idea about where you should be now?
• 10:10
  You're not there, so something's gotta change.
• 10:13
  Does it really?
• 10:14
  Or are you just so hungry?
• 10:16
  Are you So in the hunger, and I see this, I have so many people in my world
• 10:20
  that come to me with the 35th gate.
• 10:21
  So many people that have the 35th gate, particularly in a prime place,
• 10:25
  and they, they are the people that are always like, they're action takers.
• 10:31
  It's sometimes the action is what bites them in the ass.
• 10:34
  It's like you don't need more action right now.
• 10:37
  You need more trust that the action you've already taken is doing something.
• 10:41
  That pressure is building and it will lead to momentum, but
• 10:44
  you keep getting in the way.
• 10:45
  You actually keep like changing a strategy and doing something different.
• 10:49
  Trust that you planned enough in May.
• 10:51
  'cause May was about like laying groundwork.
• 10:53
  It was about saying like, this is what we want.
• 10:56
  Okay, we did the thing.
• 10:57
  Remember we're shifting over into that second in May.
• 10:59
  We shifted over into that second quarter.
• 11:02
  Of the human design wheel, and that wheel says Now we are concretizing the ideas.
• 11:08
  We tested things in that first quarter.
• 11:11
  We worked on stuff we kind of like.
• 11:13
  We sort of figured out the raw material and what's here now,
• 11:17
  what do we really wanna build?
• 11:19
  Now you've been in this for about a month.
• 11:22
  We've been in this theme.
• 11:23
  The 35th gate then comes in and starts questioning all the plans.
• 11:27
  And start saying, maybe we gotta do something different.
• 11:29
  And just watch yourself while you're in this.
• 11:33
  Watch yourself and just see if you are gonna do more harm than good
• 11:38
  with the action that you're taking.
• 11:40
  Or is it just maybe a little bit more of the same or maybe leaning back?
• 11:44
  That's actually gonna give you a little bit more of what you
• 11:46
  need so that pressure can build.
• 11:48
  Can you deal with the discomfort?
• 11:50
  Of things maybe not visually seeming like the progress that
• 11:53
  you have in mind is being made.
• 11:55
  If you can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not happening.
• 11:58
  Right.
• 11:58
  We have to trust the unseen.
• 12:00
  Yeah.
• 12:01
  There's another theme going on right now that says sometimes it's
• 12:04
  really hard to value hard things.
• 12:07
  And it's the hard things or the process or the slow time put in that's out.
• 12:14
  Also really strongly being emphasized and valued right now.
• 12:18
  And there, I see several squares in this June.
• 12:22
  Lots of squaring energy because we have a lot of planets that are
• 12:25
  in the early degrees of new signs.
• 12:28
  And they're all kind of moving in together.
• 12:30
  And so we've got like Cardinal Fire squaring against Cardinal Water.
• 12:35
  So we've got like this desire to instinctively move with this
• 12:38
  instinctual emotions coming up.
• 12:41
  This could be a time when our higher mind might not have a
• 12:45
  grip on what's actually going on.
• 12:47
  It's like a very, very human time.
• 12:50
  It's a very close to the earth time.
• 12:52
  Squares in astrology are when you've got planets in signs that are, that
• 12:57
  come together at a 90 degree angle, but that's the technical term.
• 13:00
  The way that I perceive squares is imagine that there are two cowboys or
• 13:06
  two cowgirls entering a square in like a Western movie, and they both say, this
• 13:11
  town's not big enough for the two of us.
• 13:14
  And you're always gonna know you're in this kind of scenario when you feel like
• 13:17
  you're set between two choices and one of them has to be sacrificed or killed.
• 13:23
  Like you can't have both.
• 13:24
  For some reason that's the way you're feeling.
• 13:26
  So you got these two cowgirls, they show up.
• 13:29
  Maybe it's a sheriff and a cowgirl.
• 13:30
  Maybe it's a desire for freedom and a desire for responsibility
• 13:34
  that comes to this square.
• 13:36
  And they're both like, they're gonna turn around, they're gonna
• 13:38
  count to 10, they're gonna try and like annihilate one or the other.
• 13:42
  What I always say is, if you've got something like this going on, it's
• 13:46
  impossible to kill a part of yourself.
• 13:49
  We're not here to kill parts of ourselves.
• 13:51
  We're here to accept our whole self.
• 13:54
  And so if the town feels like it's not big enough for the two of us,
• 13:57
  that means our identity or ego has to grow to hold both of these things.
• 14:04
  That means growth has to happen.
• 14:06
  The town must grow to hold both cowgirls.
• 14:09
  And so this month is a huge month for growth because we've got to grow our
• 14:14
  instinct to move and our instinct to feel.
• 14:18
  We've gotta hold our instinct to be soft and vulnerable with our instinct
• 14:22
  to be loud and strong and brave.
• 14:27
  And that is gonna be an interesting place to navigate and.
• 14:34
  I had conversations with women.
• 14:36
  I was in a really intimate, um, retreat this past weekend and a lot of the
• 14:40
  themes were around, um, how do I build muscle that doesn't act as armor?
• 14:47
  I. How do I show up strongly that doesn't push people away?
• 14:52
  How do I have boundaries that allow every part of my life to sink
• 14:56
  in and my heart to remain open?
• 14:58
  These were the questions that were asked, and those were kind of squaring
• 15:01
  off questions because we know that if we lean one side or the other,
• 15:06
  it could be at our detriment or the detriment of others, and so.
• 15:10
  The new story that we're writing is a story that allows both of these
• 15:15
  to coexist in a brand new way.
• 15:18
  There's, it's a chance for incredible novelty.
• 15:21
  A novelty in that it's new, it's never been experienced before.
• 15:25
  It's the unknown, basically.
• 15:27
  And with cardinal signs.
• 15:29
  Cardinal signs are at the beginning or initiating part of a cycle.
• 15:33
  We have the initiation, we have the maintenance, and then
• 15:36
  we have the changing element.
• 15:37
  So cardinals always start a new manifesting cycle and with so much
• 15:41
  cardinal energy squaring off right now, it's asking for almost a volcanic eruption
• 15:47
  of, of new reality within our psyche, within our relationships, within our, our
• 15:54
  money, within every aspect of ourselves.
• 15:58
  I think that question that you brought up, you know, I think June
• 16:01
  is actually, you know, that, that how do I hold, how do, how do I be strong
• 16:06
  and, and not have it push people away?
• 16:09
  How do I. Show up as the best version of myself who has boundaries, who
• 16:15
  doesn't, just people please and do things out of obligation and let other
• 16:21
  people trample over my boundaries.
• 16:23
  How does that not become something that is.
• 16:26
  Just holding people out.
• 16:27
  Right?
• 16:28
  I think June is sort of a good exercise.
• 16:30
  It's a good gym for that question.
• 16:33
  'cause I think even we go into, you know, in the, the second week,
• 16:36
  the seventh through the 12th, the sun goes into the 45th gate.
• 16:41
  This is the queen, the 45th gate is the queen.
• 16:44
  She says, I know what's best for me and for a lot of others.
• 16:50
  It's, this is, we're going into, when we talk about each, the
• 16:53
  45th gate is part of the cross of rulership, and what's interesting is.
• 16:58
  That week we're in the cross of rulership, and then on the 13th, the nodes shift.
• 17:03
  I know from an astrological aspect, they probably don't, I
• 17:08
  think we stay in the same sign.
• 17:09
  We're still in Pisces and and Virgo, but they shift in the human design wheel.
• 17:14
  So we went from the 36th gate, so on the 12th, the north note is in
• 17:18
  the 36th gate, which is crisis.
• 17:20
  The darkening of the light.
• 17:22
  This is all the feels, and it has been all the feels, but don't
• 17:26
  think you're getting a reprieve.
• 17:27
  You're still in the emotional center.
• 17:29
  We're moving from one type of emotion to another.
• 17:31
  One is very action oriented.
• 17:34
  It's super bold.
• 17:36
  The 36th gate is partnered with that 35th gate that says like change and change now.
• 17:41
  Adventure.
• 17:42
  The only way to live life is to feel it is to do it.
• 17:45
  We just have to do things and experience things and yes, crisis will come, but
• 17:49
  we're going to be such rich feelers and experiencers that we're able to like.
• 17:54
  See life and see people through this whole new lens.
• 17:57
  Like that's what I think we've been learning for this whole first half
• 18:00
  of the year, is that 36 gate coming in and saying, how do we hold more
• 18:05
  space for the messiness of life?
• 18:08
  How do we not need it to be so damn perfect?
• 18:11
  But then also, how do we accept others for their experience of life?
• 18:15
  It's not just ours.
• 18:16
  The gift is compassion.
• 18:18
  So.
• 18:18
  I think what we've been called to is to grow our compassion in this period and
• 18:22
  to be able to grow toward the messier and allowing the mess to happen without
• 18:27
  feeling like your life is going to fall apart and really embracing that
• 18:32
  and life's just emotional experience.
• 18:34
  But now we shift into the 22nd gate, which is the other half
• 18:37
  of the cross of ruler ship.
• 18:38
  Every cross gets four gates.
• 18:41
  So the sun is in the first two, the 45 and the 26th from the
• 18:44
  seventh to the 12th, and then.
• 18:46
  Immediately when that ends, when the sun shifts, then the nodes shift into
• 18:52
  the other two gates of that cross.
• 18:54
  I feel like we're getting a bit of a lesson in what power struggles
• 18:57
  are like and what it's really like to the cross of rulership in
• 19:01
  its best and highest expression, knows how to hold its boundaries.
• 19:06
  How to say I am a queen, but I'm a benevolent queen.
• 19:10
  Who listens and who hears everyone and who cares genuinely about everybody around me.
• 19:19
  But I hold my sovereignty and I do know what I know, and
• 19:22
  I do that unapologetically.
• 19:24
  But now, instead of being in that crisis that we've been in, now I think we're
• 19:27
  being called to, it's the 22nd gate and the 47th gate that we shift into.
• 19:32
  And these nodes now stay with us through, I think like.
• 19:37
  September or something like that will be in those nodes.
• 19:40
  The 22nd and the 47th gate.
• 19:42
  The 22nd gate is our north node.
• 19:44
  Now instead of crisis, it's grace.
• 19:47
  So now that we've developed compassion, now let's take this
• 19:51
  another step further and say, how do we accept all of those emotions?
• 19:56
  How do we still feel shame when there's something for us to feel shame about?
• 20:01
  Because it's not about, rulership isn't about being.
• 20:07
  And I think we're all collectively getting a lesson in this right now.
• 20:10
  It isn't about being above the law.
• 20:12
  It isn't about being untouchable.
• 20:15
  It isn't about being, um, you know, we are absolutely fallible creatures and there
• 20:24
  are some things we should feel shame for.
• 20:26
  There are some things we should feel guilty for.
• 20:27
  There are some things we should feel bad for 'cause we are not perfect.
• 20:31
  But can you meet those moments with grace?
• 20:34
  For yourself and for others.
• 20:36
  And I had in my notes here, you know, where are we not being
• 20:40
  honest with ourselves and where are we playing at something I.
• 20:48
  Because I think in order to be graceful, you have to, in order to be gracious
• 20:51
  and graceful in life, I think you have to honestly look at what you are
• 20:56
  experiencing and who you are, and I think it's time when the mask has to come down.
• 21:03
  When we have to the 22nd gate, the polarity is 47
• 21:07
  and the 47 is the oppressor.
• 21:09
  It's your mind will either free you or lock you in its cage
• 21:13
  and keep you there forever.
• 21:14
  And what will break you out?
• 21:16
  It's the other side.
• 21:16
  It's the emotions.
• 21:18
  It's really being able to feel everything.
• 21:21
  And when we have these two where the mind and the emotions meet.
• 21:25
  You are unstoppable, but you have to be able to look at yourself with honesty.
• 21:30
  So I had here like, where are you playing?
• 21:31
  House?
• 21:32
  Where are you playing?
• 21:34
  Entrepreneur in your life, where are you playing?
• 21:37
  Awakened, spiritual being, where are you playing at this stuff?
• 21:42
  Can you really meet the truth of that without feeling like you've failed or
• 21:47
  feeling like you now can't get what you want or you can't be who you are.
• 21:50
  And having it be this existential crisis and just go, oh, this is a
• 21:54
  moment where I'm noticing that I'm out of integrity here or I'm not, and
• 21:58
  how can I have compassion for myself?
• 22:01
  'cause I just learned compassion through these last three
• 22:03
  months if we did the work.
• 22:04
  Right now it's like, how can I have compassion for myself to
• 22:06
  actually meet myself with grace?
• 22:08
  I just said a lot.
• 22:09
  I wanna open the floor to you 'cause I just went on a full out
• 22:12
  monologue there, but I was totally moved by these gates shifting in.
• 22:18
  So I'm curious what hit you there.
• 22:21
  Yeah, everything that that I'm seeing is really supporting and
• 22:25
  backing up what you just said, including the queen and the emotions.
• 22:30
  And so let me just give you my perspective, but it completely
• 22:35
  backs up everything you just said.
• 22:36
  So the first week of June is, like we said, it's that night of swords where
• 22:41
  we're in a space very quickly learning that if we don't change our mindset,
• 22:47
  that we will feel states of urgency, states of fear, states that will press
• 22:53
  us into action before we're ready.
• 22:56
  So we're meant to be very aware of those.
• 22:58
  Things this week, and the thing that's gonna slow everything down comes in
• 23:02
  between the eighth and the 14th, right When you were talking about that gate
• 23:06
  shifting and the time of the Queen, and this is actually the Queen of Swords week.
• 23:10
  It's the moment when that sword of truth, that very clear, sharp
• 23:16
  discernment of what is right and true in the world, that becomes.
• 23:21
  Part of what we sit into as our throne, and when we come from that place, it
• 23:26
  calms down all of that fear and urgency and the nightmare and the false beliefs.
• 23:33
  It calms it all down because we can rest on that blade of truth and
• 23:38
  when we cultivate the blade of truth within, then our actions begin to
• 23:43
  move from that place with the King of Swords from the 15th to the 21st.
• 23:48
  Now, there are a lot of really strong aspects.
• 23:51
  Between the like eighth and the ninth and on the 15th, there are some
• 23:55
  really strong energies moving us to the openheartedness of that truth.
• 24:01
  We've got Jupiter moving into cancer.
• 24:03
  It will be there for a whole year.
• 24:05
  Jupiter has worked for an entire year.
• 24:08
  To give us a new clarity of story and to really put a spotlight on
• 24:14
  how our beliefs shape our reality.
• 24:17
  So we've had practice for a whole year in expanding what that looks
• 24:21
  like and getting the feedback from our surroundings of, when I tell
• 24:25
  this story, this is what happens when I believe this, about that person.
• 24:28
  They act like that person.
• 24:30
  It's almost like.
• 24:31
  Seeing how much power we have in our beliefs.
• 24:34
  So when it shifts into cancer and we get that Queen of swords truth, that's
• 24:39
  when, whew, it finally all sinks in.
• 24:43
  The truth of how powerful we are finally all sinks in and that's when
• 24:48
  we also have squaring energy because it could be that these vulnerable truths.
• 24:53
  Bring us to a new kind of action that we've never taken before.
• 24:57
  And when we start moving with these new actions, it will
• 25:01
  change the way reality is felt.
• 25:04
  And during the month or the week where we've got the King of Swords.
• 25:07
  From the 15th to the 21st, we also have Mars moving into Virgo.
• 25:11
  And so when Mars moves into Virgo, I, whenever I see Mars in a, in
• 25:16
  Virgo for someone's chart, I'm like, is this person a doctor, a surgeon?
• 25:20
  Did they have a, a very precise scalpel that goes in and cuts away
• 25:25
  the tissues that are healthy and pulls out the tissues that are unhealthy?
• 25:30
  Like.
• 25:30
  Mars already can act like a blade, but when it's in Virgo,
• 25:34
  you've got like a heart surgeon, a neurosurgeon, so much precision.
• 25:38
  So we get this King of Swords with a Mars in Virgo, and we begin
• 25:44
  acting with so much precision.
• 25:47
  We take pause and we make sure that we know exactly what story
• 25:51
  we're telling ourselves, the values that are informing that story.
• 25:55
  Story and the actions that will uphold all of these parts of the
• 25:59
  story and parts of our truth.
• 26:00
  Then we enter into cancer season, and cancer season brings a lot
• 26:06
  more different types of growth.
• 26:08
  It's growth that comes from being broken open in the best ways possible.
• 26:12
  When I say broken open, I'm not saying like everything's gonna be so
• 26:15
  bad, it'll take you to your knees.
• 26:17
  No way.
• 26:17
  The things that break me open have to do with like.
• 26:20
  Seeing my daughter laughing authentically about something and realizing how much it
• 26:26
  took for me to be present to that finally.
• 26:29
  And that can break me open and I could be just letting it all sink in.
• 26:33
  And that's what life is about.
• 26:35
  And these are the things that make life worth living.
• 26:37
  It's these moments that sink all the way in.
• 26:40
  So the latter part of the month is kind of the reward that we get, um, emotionally.
• 26:50
  Through the fulfilling moments that sink in.
• 26:52
  I, I think cancer is another one of those, like Virgo that gets kind of
• 26:56
  a bad rap where, you know, I think people have this vision or at least
• 27:00
  it, it like that the cancers are just sort of like this bleeding heart
• 27:05
  mess, you know, just all emotion they can't contain and that's just not the.
• 27:11
  Truth at all.
• 27:13
  So I, I think there's like a bit of a reclaiming of that.
• 27:16
  I think it's interesting because we have on the 19th, you know, some of the things
• 27:20
  that I had circled in here just for like interesting things that I was seeing, at
• 27:23
  least from the human design perspective.
• 27:26
  I noticed that on the 19th, from the 19th to like the 26th ish that.
• 27:32
  I have Jupiter in the sun in, do you see them conjunct in
• 27:37
  the way that you look at it?
• 27:38
  And this is in the gate 15, which is the gate of extremes.
• 27:42
  So I had this circled here, just because the gate of extremes can
• 27:46
  mean so many different things.
• 27:48
  It's really about flexibility.
• 27:49
  It's about, you know, this is the solstice.
• 27:52
  So on the solstice we have one of the love gates comes through here.
• 27:56
  So the 15th gate is the, all of the four love gates have a specific
• 28:02
  type of love that they represent.
• 28:03
  And the 15th gate, I think can sometimes be one of the more difficult
• 28:07
  ones for people to conceptualize because it does have to, it's
• 28:11
  down facing the sacral center.
• 28:12
  So it's, it has more to do with like, there's like doing and being where
• 28:16
  we're kind of blurring that line between, well, you know, this is about.
• 28:20
  Being it not doing it.
• 28:22
  And the 15th gate is the gate of extremes and it can get seriously bored.
• 28:26
  And it definitely has a very, don't tread on me sort of vibe to it.
• 28:30
  It's like it's the love of humanity.
• 28:33
  We all get to be whoever the hell we wanna be.
• 28:38
  And don't you dare come and tell me.
• 28:41
  Who I have to be, who I get to love, who I get to, like what I
• 28:46
  get to be like out in the world.
• 28:48
  Like nobody gets to tell me that.
• 28:50
  But I'll also fight for the right for you to fight, for your rights, to be whoever
• 28:55
  the hell you wanna be and do whatever you wanna do and love whoever you wanna love.
• 28:58
  Like it in its highest expression.
• 29:00
  Gate 15 says that the world needs all of us.
• 29:05
  It needs the whole spectrum of colors.
• 29:09
  It doesn't just, we would be bored out of our minds if we were only coloring
• 29:15
  with the box of six color crayons.
• 29:18
  Like we want the infinite array of hex colors that are out there, and
• 29:24
  that's what makes this world beautiful.
• 29:26
  So we have the sun and Jupiter, or both in that gate for that week of the 19th.
• 29:33
  Maybe a little bit, uh, longer than that, but that, that full week of the
• 29:36
  19th through like the 26th, I see.
• 29:38
  Like that gate staying the same.
• 29:40
  The other thing that had me kind of winking, 'cause what I'm seeing
• 29:44
  is there's so much of the same themes that we have been seeing.
• 29:48
  In the sun and the earth where the, the sun has been in these themes.
• 29:52
  Now we're seeing all of these other planets kind of, it's this repeat,
• 29:56
  it's like a rerun of the same energy, but now coming through a different
• 30:00
  planet, coming through something else.
• 30:02
  The 25th gate where, you know, we were in that with our nodes at the beginning
• 30:08
  of the year before we shifted into the 36th, the 25th gate is the, this is
• 30:13
  another love gate, a different love.
• 30:15
  This is the love of, this is universal love.
• 30:17
  I. This one.
• 30:19
  So now we have, do you see that same thing that Saturn and Neptune are
• 30:23
  conjunct for like the 10th and I think they stay that way, or Neptune stays
• 30:29
  in there till like September, I think, where, this is a long stretch of these
• 30:34
  doing this, but we can talk about that.
• 30:36
  Particular 'cause that's an Aries sign there.
• 30:40
  But the 25th gate is about universal love.
• 30:44
  We are all one.
• 30:46
  We are one.
• 30:46
  Consciousness is kind of what the 25th Gate teaches us, but at its
• 30:50
  depth, it's really telling us that you've gotta go into your wounds.
• 30:54
  That the only way out is through.
• 30:57
  And I think that that's just a theme that like this has been repeating.
• 31:01
  We had, I forget exactly what the placements were, but we saw this
• 31:06
  constantly through the first half of the year, like that first quarter of the year.
• 31:11
  And now here we're seeing it again.
• 31:13
  And I think it's just sort of like.
• 31:15
  The universe is sort of calling us to do that inner work, and I think right
• 31:19
  now if we talk a little bit more about like collectively what we're seeing
• 31:22
  in the world and how much division there is, I think it's very interesting
• 31:26
  that this gate of universal love and unity of us being one consciousness.
• 31:32
  Is the one that I've seen repeating over and over and over again.
• 31:35
  The two gates that I've seen repeating over and over.
• 31:37
  Crisis and universal love and compassion is the gift of the
• 31:42
  crisis gate and then universal love.
• 31:44
  And those two things, like I think we are all being called to maybe see that
• 31:48
  our wounds are not all that different.
• 31:50
  They're actually quite similar.
• 31:52
  If you sit down in an intimate setting, like you were at that
• 31:54
  retreat this weekend, I. Bet that the conversation, it wasn't like everybody
• 31:59
  had these wildly different personal experiences that they were having.
• 32:03
  It's like the same wound in a slightly different scene.
• 32:06
  Is that accurate?
• 32:08
  That's what I find in those circles.
• 32:10
  In those circles.
• 32:11
  Yeah, the energetics of it were all the same.
• 32:14
  It was like understanding how deeply important connection, authentic
• 32:18
  connection actually is, and holding space for us to be in right relationship
• 32:25
  with even discordant, previously discordant parts of our lives, like
• 32:30
  finding compassion and forgiveness so that we can move into a state of.
• 32:35
  Grace and harmony.
• 32:38
  It's, it's kind of like the era of having a high tolerance for
• 32:42
  things that are not working well.
• 32:45
  It's, it's like the era of, of high tolerance is over and our tolerance level
• 32:50
  is low, and so these things that are just slightly out of balance or out of
• 32:56
  integrity or out of health, it seems like they become really important right now and
• 33:01
  we really want to get to the bottom of it.
• 33:03
  We really want to.
• 33:04
  Store wholeness to our lives.
• 33:07
  And we know we're so close and we have the tools, and we've got the
• 33:10
  compassion, and we've got the intellect and we've got the desire and the faith.
• 33:14
  And so that's what it feels like.
• 33:16
  It feels like we're on this place where we're like, there's got to be a way.
• 33:20
  Not that this wholeness will keep us from feeling pain ever.
• 33:24
  In fact, it's, it's really painful to.
• 33:27
  It's ironically, some of the reasons why there are discordant parts in our lives
• 33:32
  is because we've shut off some of our emotional compassion or our vulnerability
• 33:36
  to a degree, and so we've closed it off, we've cut it off, we've separated
• 33:41
  ourselves, we've made it other, and so that part is trying in every single
• 33:47
  way to be acceptable in our wholeness.
• 33:51
  And so it will do whatever it's desiring to do to get our attention
• 33:54
  so that we can accept it in wholeness.
• 33:57
  I feel like I'm speaking like symbolically high level right now,
• 34:00
  but it's just so simple like, and the reason it sounds high level, but
• 34:05
  honestly, by the end of June, these will be very obvious things in our lives.
• 34:10
  There will be little, there will be issues that we finally understand how
• 34:15
  to bring into restoration by opening our hearts, by feeling the entire
• 34:20
  spectrum of emotion about it, by humbling ourselves, by knowing that every single
• 34:25
  human is humbly going through whatever.
• 34:28
  This human experience is about like no one's immune from all of these things.
• 34:32
  I think we have to be high level when we're talking on a podcast.
• 34:35
  You know, we're gonna talk more of like these higher chunked up kind of themes.
• 34:40
  But I also think that what I kept getting, as you were saying
• 34:43
  that, I mean this all feels very much like North Node and Pisces.
• 34:46
  Kind of conversation, isn't it?
• 34:49
  That we're sort of having to open up to the more emotional side and this,
• 34:56
  this bigger picture and not being so.
• 34:59
  Stuck in the details or in feeling like we just gotta get it done, or we
• 35:05
  have to have this high tolerance for things that are not, they shouldn't be
• 35:08
  tolerable and we're being asked to grow.
• 35:11
  So I think that was what I was getting there, and I think that it's up to
• 35:15
  the person who's listening right now.
• 35:17
  I think they're grabbing what, like when we hear a big theme,
• 35:21
  what happens is the listener is going, oh, that means this to me.
• 35:25
  And that's what I hope you're doing at home.
• 35:27
  As you're listening to this, I hope you are hearing these bigger themes and you're
• 35:31
  saying, well, what does that mean for me?
• 35:33
  Has that coming through for me?
• 35:35
  How do I see that playing out in my life?
• 35:39
  Because that's where this stuff doesn't just become another podcast that you
• 35:43
  listen to that this is where you know, these can be the tools that you use to
• 35:47
  help navigate your life and help yourself.
• 35:50
  I. Grow into that exact idea of what progress looks like for you.
• 35:55
  Progress is growth.
• 35:56
  Progress is being further today than you were yesterday.
• 36:00
  That's all progress means.
• 36:02
  What we get caught up in is what we think it should mean.
• 36:05
  Progress means I will be here.
• 36:06
  Progress means I will be there.
• 36:08
  And I think that that is the trap that we start this month
• 36:11
  off with and what we end with.
• 36:13
  And I think it's interesting that, again, I'm seeing another
• 36:16
  conjunct from like the 26th.
• 36:19
  Through the 30th of the month or, yeah, through like the 30th through,
• 36:23
  through the end of the month, um, is this 52nd gate of stillness.
• 36:29
  And I think it's like we start with restlessness.
• 36:33
  Then we end with the 52nd gate, which is the pressure.
• 36:37
  It is root center energy and the root wants to move.
• 36:41
  But the 52nd gate says that we cannot truly concentrate on something and
• 36:45
  really give our focus and our energy to something that it deserves if we are not
• 36:49
  still first, it's called the mountain.
• 36:52
  Is another, another term for it.
• 36:55
  So I think that what we're being called to, and this is, you know,
• 36:58
  we're seeing Jupiter and the sun once again meet up in that last
• 37:03
  week of the month to say slow down.
• 37:07
  But still, stillness does not mean doing nothing.
• 37:11
  Stillness means centering yourself.
• 37:13
  In the context of this gate, it's about really focusing on what matters.
• 37:20
  Foc, you cannot truly focus on everything.
• 37:22
  If everything's a priority, nothing's a priority.
• 37:24
  And usually that is coming from a place of being ungrounded in yourself,
• 37:31
  that you're looking out and saying, maybe it's this, maybe it's this,
• 37:33
  maybe it's this, maybe it's this.
• 37:34
  Oh, I got all of these things to do.
• 37:36
  That's always a flag for me.
• 37:38
  If I've got too many priorities, I'm like, I'm, I feel like
• 37:40
  I'm not grounded right now.
• 37:42
  Let me go and center myself and see what really jumps out as being important.
• 37:48
  I remember one time I took a group therapy course with this person named
• 37:53
  Jordan, and he flew my mind, and probably a lot of people have heard this, but
• 37:58
  he was saying that healing and growth is actually the ability to tolerate
• 38:03
  sustained joy, to feel happiness.
• 38:07
  More and more and more like in a sustained, blissful way, and that we
• 38:12
  don't need to try and learn how to open ourselves to feeling more pain
• 38:15
  or tolerating more pain, but it is.
• 38:18
  Allowing ourselves to be still enough to let the good things actually sink in.
• 38:23
  And so when you're talking about stillness, and we're talking about
• 38:26
  these emotional, like universal loving gates, and I'm seeing the ace
• 38:30
  of cups and the UA cups at the end of the month and I'm seeing cancer,
• 38:34
  season, water, all of these things.
• 38:37
  They're actually in their most beautiful invitation, inviting us to drink from
• 38:43
  the cup of life and let it sink in.
• 38:46
  Let all of it actually land in a way that maybe gives us tears, maybe.
• 38:53
  One time I was in another workshop and a woman said that when we
• 38:56
  cry, crying is proof that the love is sinking into our hearts.
• 39:01
  And so when the love sinks into our hearts, we sometimes
• 39:04
  cry in all of these metaphors.
• 39:06
  I mean, it's really, honestly what makes life worth living.
• 39:10
  It's the sense of emotional fulfillment that you really can't
• 39:13
  access through the mind and.
• 39:15
  So I believe that all of the transits, all of the squares, all the growth is
• 39:20
  to bring us to a place where we can let it all sink in, where we can tolerate
• 39:23
  even more bliss and joy, where we can let things touch us in ways that make
• 39:27
  us feel truly human and grateful for the present moment more than anything else.
• 39:32
  That's the gift that this month is bringing us.
• 39:35
  I completely agree, and that's exactly what I'm seeing and I think that
• 39:38
  that's just, it's, I think our world is being pulled more toward this too.
• 39:43
  I think there's a fundamental question about feminine and masculine energy
• 39:47
  that I think a lot of us have been asking now, and I think we're in a
• 39:51
  place where we are being called to.
• 39:54
  Trust that the feminine, divine feminine, real feminine can actually deliver.
• 40:00
  And I think there is a, I think a lot of us have felt it and like intellectually
• 40:06
  have gotten on board that train.
• 40:08
  And I see this with so many people that I work with too intellectually,
• 40:12
  they're like, yeah, no feminine energy.
• 40:14
  Feminine energy.
• 40:14
  Sure.
• 40:15
  And then the next question is, yeah, but what do I do?
• 40:18
  I'm like, well, that's not really the question at this moment.
• 40:24
  You are intellectually taking in the energetic side, and then
• 40:28
  you're saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:29
  Got it next.
• 40:31
  Now what do I do?
• 40:32
  That's such an interesting thing for me to point out to people where
• 40:35
  it's like, but you're instantly going back to the masculine thing.
• 40:38
  But that's how I'll get what I want.
• 40:40
  I'll grow that way.
• 40:41
  And you do need both.
• 40:42
  You have to, like, there's a place for both.
• 40:44
  Like I, I'm not full feminine, but I think that that's so much of these themes
• 40:49
  and what June is taking us through, I, I think, is getting us to be able
• 40:53
  to, you know, I think that one of the things that came to mind as you were
• 40:56
  talking about, about feeling and about, you know, holding actual sustained
• 41:00
  joy versus just feeling more pain.
• 41:03
  But we have to let that pain, and we talked about this in last month's
• 41:05
  episode, you have to let that pain in in order to sustain the joy.
• 41:08
  Otherwise, you'll push it away and you won't know you're doing it.
• 41:11
  So I am excited for this month to see what she holds for us
• 41:16
  to see what June brings us.
• 41:17
  Did you have any last words for our people?
• 41:20
  I would just create a lot of space for the eighth and ninth.
• 41:24
  I create a lot of space for ourselves.
• 41:26
  I think we might be surprised at how quickly we start to
• 41:30
  feel things so intensely.
• 41:32
  'cause there will be a lot of expansion and what that could feel
• 41:35
  like is you suddenly are very, very sensitive and just can't tolerate
• 41:40
  things the way you could before.
• 41:41
  That's.
• 41:42
  Probably what it will feel like.
• 41:44
  Like why can't I, why do I feel so sensitive?
• 41:46
  Why do I feel so like blah?
• 41:48
  And so if you start to feel that way at all, it's yes, you're not crazy.
• 41:53
  We're entering a year where all of the, uh, filters and governors to
• 41:57
  our sensitivity are being gently.
• 42:00
  Removed.
• 42:00
  It's like a snake shedding its skin.
• 42:02
  It finally is in that new raw skin, and it's gonna feel everything a lot more
• 42:07
  intensely, create more space there.
• 42:09
  And then I also saw the 15th as a pretty strong day for growing
• 42:15
  to honor our sensitivity and create space for that sensitivity.
• 42:18
  And then I saw the 24th being a day where there's a reclamation of our worthiness.
• 42:24
  To our sensitivity.
• 42:26
  Those were the key days.
• 42:27
  I, I really, that's really stuck out for me.
• 42:29
  Yeah.
• 42:30
  I love it.
• 42:30
  And I, I called out mine throughout, you know, I'm looking
• 42:33
  at that 19th through the 24th.
• 42:35
  I think there's also that, uh, the 13th through the 18th that week.
• 42:40
  Just something interesting from a human design perspective.
• 42:43
  North node and the sun are going to, those two gates in human
• 42:48
  design are gonna form a channel.
• 42:49
  So we're all going to have this channel of openness is what it's called, and
• 42:55
  it really is about being able to speak with emotional intelligence or not.
• 43:00
  You're either going to see the shadow of this and see how maybe you are rushing
• 43:04
  to spew your emotions on everybody, which is the shadow, because I think that this
• 43:09
  is another thing, like, you know what?
• 43:11
  Where we get caught up in what?
• 43:13
  Emotional feeling is like, oh, well I'm just emotional all the time and
• 43:16
  I'm okay with all of these emotions.
• 43:18
  It actually isn't appropriate or graceful to throw your emotions
• 43:21
  on other people or to speak before you've processed your emotions.
• 43:25
  To speak in the emotion, to have true emotional intelligence.
• 43:29
  We're gonna have a, a big lesson in that, in that week of really recognizing
• 43:34
  what is it to sit with something and then say the thing if appropriate.
• 43:39
  That needs to be said, but from a grounded process place and not from
• 43:43
  a purely raw emotional place, that just flings your emotional frequency
• 43:50
  on people versus processing it and seeing what's there for you.
• 43:55
  Before you go getting rid of it, which feels good in the moment and
• 43:59
  then, but that's not real growth.
• 44:00
  So that was another thing that I wanted to call out.
• 44:02
  Otherwise, I think that it is a vibrant month.
• 44:04
  There's a lot happening.
• 44:06
  Pay attention, take some space like Christina said, and, and just.
• 44:11
  Ride your wave.
• 44:12
  Know that you're on a ride and if something feels
• 44:15
  it's out of control, pause.
• 44:17
  Usually that will do the trick.
• 44:20
  But thank you so much.
• 44:22
