Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
0:17
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:21
Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, everybody.
0:25
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Lano, and it's me and my lovely and talented and Wonderful co host, Ms. Christina Luna.
0:33
Nicole Laino: Hello, darlin.
0:34
Nicole Laino: How are you?
0:35
Christina Luna: Hello, Nicole.
0:36
Christina Luna: I am so good.
0:38
Christina Luna: I'm so happy to be here today.
0:39
Nicole Laino: I am so happy to have you here because, like I've said a million times, it's so much more fun doing the show with you by my side.
0:47
Nicole Laino: But I feel like it's been, like, we obviously talked last month for last month's podcast, but it feels like a year went by.
0:55
Nicole Laino: Does it feel that way for you?
0:57
Christina Luna: It does.
0:57
Christina Luna: I feel like I've gone through lifetimes in the last month.
1:02
Nicole Laino: Oh, my God.
1:03
Nicole Laino: The month of March and the end of February, the whole of Pisces season.
1:09
Nicole Laino: The retrogrades.
1:10
Nicole Laino: Like, when they say it slows you down, it slowed me down, man.
1:15
Christina Luna: It slowed me down, and it took me deep.
1:18
Christina Luna: Like, the image I have is when you feel whirlpool in the ocean, it's.
1:22
Christina Luna: It took me so deep underwater, I felt things that were ancient, things I haven't had to feel in a really long time.
1:29
Christina Luna: It was very interesting for me and intense.
1:31
Nicole Laino: Well, and I was saying to you, like, I felt like I questioned everything in the.
1:36
Nicole Laino: Definitely the beginning of March.
1:38
Nicole Laino: It was like, who am I?
1:40
Nicole Laino: What am I doing?
1:42
Nicole Laino: And I was so grateful for all of this, and I always am for knowing what's happening and knowing that it's raining outside.
1:49
Nicole Laino: So that's why I'm getting wet.
1:50
Nicole Laino: Like, that always feels good.
1:52
Nicole Laino: But I really was grateful for it.
1:53
Nicole Laino: I think in the ones where it's like, they're super emotional, you know, Pisces season is emotional.
1:59
Nicole Laino: We had multiple retrogrades at certain points during it.
2:02
Nicole Laino: And then we had the Mercury retrograde, which I felt like it went on forever.
2:06
Nicole Laino: And then that weird moment when Mercury retrograde ended.
2:11
Nicole Laino: It's the equinox and hits into Aries season.
2:16
Nicole Laino: Like, all of these things.
2:17
Nicole Laino: I mean, the Aries season and equinox always line up, but just this Mercury retrograde ending, there's.
2:22
Nicole Laino: It's funny, I did, and she's going to come on the show and do an episode with me, but I went for one of My horse healing sessions where I go and I hang out with a herd of horses and we commune in the field together.
2:35
Nicole Laino: And I did that on the equinox.
2:38
Christina Luna: Wow.
2:38
Nicole Laino: And God, was that, like, such a beautiful bridge between those moments.
2:44
Nicole Laino: And the funny thing was, the last time I did it was on my birthday, which was the eclipse in September.
2:49
Nicole Laino: So I've.
2:49
Nicole Laino: She's like, you pick really juicy, crazy dates to come here.
2:53
Nicole Laino: And I'm like, it just works out that way.
2:56
Nicole Laino: But it also.
2:58
Nicole Laino: I'm like.
2:58
Nicole Laino: When I do it, I'm like, I'm so happy that this is where I'm going.
3:02
Nicole Laino: That the only thing I'm doing is tuning into my energy.
3:05
Christina Luna: Yeah.
3:06
Nicole Laino: And I'm regulating with other beings that.
3:08
Christina Luna: Can't talk, that can't put information in there.
3:12
Christina Luna: It keeps it all very energetic.
3:14
Christina Luna: Emotional and physical.
3:16
Nicole Laino: They share so much, but in such a different way than we're used to on a regular basis.
3:21
Nicole Laino: Unless you, like, have animals like that on your land that you visit often or that you live with.
3:27
Nicole Laino: There's just a very different exchange.
3:30
Nicole Laino: So it really brings me into myself to be there and.
3:34
Nicole Laino: But also opens me up in a different way that I can't get really any other way.
3:40
Nicole Laino: I love it.
3:41
Nicole Laino: So it was.
3:41
Nicole Laino: It was a beautiful way of being like, we're closing this retrograde out and I'm opening myself in this new way.
3:48
Nicole Laino: I always experience things this way where I'll have an idea of what it's going to be like.
3:53
Nicole Laino: I think everybody was talking about.
3:54
Nicole Laino: It's.
3:55
Nicole Laino: We're getting.
3:55
Nicole Laino: Mars is in Aries and we have.
3:58
Nicole Laino: There's just all of these things happening where an Aries season and this is happening and the fire horse is going to go off with a bang.
4:05
Nicole Laino: I felt a little like the fire horse singed me a little bit at the beginning there.
4:12
Nicole Laino: I don't know if it felt that way for anybody else, but that was my experience.
4:16
Nicole Laino: I think.
4:16
Nicole Laino: Like I wrote to you, I was like, I feel like I was electrocuted.
4:21
Nicole Laino: Felt like every.
4:22
Nicole Laino: Someone flipped a switch, turned the power back on and we blew a bunch of fuses.
4:26
Nicole Laino: The lights were on in the house.
4:28
Nicole Laino: It's been dark for a while.
4:30
Nicole Laino: There was more light than there was before.
4:32
Nicole Laino: But we also had to repair some shit.
4:35
Nicole Laino: That was like the feeling I had at the very beginning of Aries season.
4:39
Nicole Laino: And I'll say that we're a week in at the time of our recording of this.
4:43
Nicole Laino: So that's where we are right now.
4:45
Nicole Laino: And we're heading into April now.
4:48
Christina Luna: Yeah.
4:49
Christina Luna: And even just the Next couple of days, while we're heading toward April 1st, we're really in this very gentle, very sensitive.
5:00
Christina Luna: It's almost like this, like brand new skin being touched for the first time.
5:06
Christina Luna: It's our lives are experiencing things that we've never actually encountered before.
5:11
Christina Luna: And from my perspective of Pisces season brought to light a lot of idealistic or cosmic or ancient or coded storylines that we've held in our psyche.
5:29
Christina Luna: It tapped into our collective unconscious, our subconscious, and it brought the subconscious pieces currently into the present moment that we had to actually look at them.
5:42
Christina Luna: And some of it dissolved, some of it vaporized, some of it persisted long enough until we actually held the part of us that was telling the story.
5:53
Christina Luna: And from my perspective, I had lots and lots of previous versions of me that were persisting with a story that's actually expired.
6:03
Christina Luna: It's an expired story.
6:04
Christina Luna: It's an outworn kind of relating pattern.
6:08
Christina Luna: And I had to navigate my own shame around why I created those stories.
6:14
Christina Luna: I had to navigate a lot of repressed things about my worthiness.
6:20
Christina Luna: We've had a lot of Chiron healing moments and they will continue to expand through Aries season because we have so many in the next three months.
6:29
Christina Luna: We have Chiron moving into a new sign after a long period of time.
6:34
Christina Luna: We have Uranus moving into a sign after a long period of time.
6:37
Christina Luna: And we've got the nodes are about to change.
6:40
Christina Luna: We've got Jupiter moving into a new sign.
6:42
Christina Luna: Everything feels new, but we're being face to face with the new world, the new skin, the new body, and how the old doesn't match anymore.
6:55
Christina Luna: Like how we've outlived the old story, we've outlived the old cycle and we get to make a new story about what it means now.
7:05
Christina Luna: It doesn't mean that the emotions are not real, doesn't mean that the sensations are not real.
7:09
Christina Luna: But the story we're telling about them needs to be upgraded, needs to be retold from a new space of wisdom.
7:17
Christina Luna: And so if we're all finding ourselves in this, like, tender place, if while we feel tender, the story we're telling feels old, that's I think, where the point is that we can purse apart the pieces of the story and see.
7:35
Christina Luna: Can I see this from a different.
7:36
Christina Luna: Can I reshape, reframe the story so it actually makes everything acceptable and everything about me is worthy and everything about this is actually okay?
7:47
Nicole Laino: Yeah.
7:47
Nicole Laino: And I think that the headline for this too is if we use these seasons and this is what we talk about, A lot.
7:53
Nicole Laino: But if you use these seasons and you don't freak out, because I was saying before we hopped on, I was like, if I didn't know this stuff, I would have thought I was crazy because of the roller coaster.
8:05
Nicole Laino: Coaster of emotions that I went on.
8:07
Nicole Laino: And like, you were saying.
8:08
Nicole Laino: And to me, it felt like the retrograde, too, brings up a lot.
8:12
Nicole Laino: So we had Pisces does that.
8:13
Nicole Laino: And then we also had the retrogrades that were bringing things up where I couldn't not look at them.
8:19
Nicole Laino: It wasn't an option.
8:21
Nicole Laino: It was like, you will confront this.
8:24
Nicole Laino: And I never journaled so much.
8:27
Nicole Laino: I never had to, like.
8:28
Nicole Laino: It's been a long time since I've had to, like, consciously be like, all right, I need to dig into this and write about it.
8:37
Nicole Laino: And for me, it, like, felt like I was like.
8:39
Nicole Laino: Like, I had to play with it.
8:41
Nicole Laino: I had to, like, just dig into it and see what came out, excavate it all.
8:44
Nicole Laino: And if you don't do that, then that can lead to repeating the pattern.
8:50
Nicole Laino: The next time it comes around, it'll feel worse.
8:52
Nicole Laino: But you and I are both in a cycle.
8:54
Nicole Laino: Just with everything we've talked about the eclipses and our nodes going through these transformations.
9:00
Nicole Laino: Are you a Chiron Tauru as well?
9:03
Christina Luna: Yeah.
9:03
Nicole Laino: Yeah, me too.
9:05
Nicole Laino: Like, I'm very cognizant of the fact that time's up.
9:08
Nicole Laino: It's like that.
9:10
Christina Luna: Ding.
9:12
Nicole Laino: It's going.
9:12
Nicole Laino: I knew I was getting to that age where we think 50, and I'm like, I'm not 50 yet.
9:16
Nicole Laino: I'm 47.
9:18
Nicole Laino: But it's in my sign.
9:19
Nicole Laino: I'm not.
9:19
Nicole Laino: It's not on it.
9:20
Nicole Laino: I'm not right on my degree.
9:23
Nicole Laino: It's like, the invitation is in the mail.
9:25
Nicole Laino: Like, that guest is coming to dinner.
9:29
Christina Luna: And this is.
9:29
Christina Luna: Even though we are talking about our Chiron return in Taurus, this is applicable to everyone in this way.
9:36
Christina Luna: And it finally clicked in for me.
9:38
Christina Luna: I'm reading this book that was written by a Taoist priestess dominatrix, and she's been talking like, the whole book is about worthiness, to assert and demand or ask for what you want and need.
9:50
Christina Luna: And I was looking at it, I was like, we've just had a whole era while Chiron's been moving through Aries, that's just been helping us understand our worthiness, to even be our worthiness.
10:01
Christina Luna: Like, we've had to prove our worthiness, to be experts in our field, to prove our worthiness by making money.
10:07
Christina Luna: Prove our worthiness through, like, sticking into a relationship.
10:11
Christina Luna: It's all this healing around just being worth something.
10:15
Christina Luna: And the next phase of this, while Taurus Chiron healing happens, will be, well, now that we know we're worthy, what do we want?
10:23
Nicole Laino: Yeah, what do we get to have?
10:25
Christina Luna: What do we get to have?
10:27
Christina Luna: What are we worthy to receive now?
10:29
Christina Luna: Because we don't have to prove that we're worth it now we just have to, like, expand our awareness of what it might be that we want more of.
10:37
Nicole Laino: I have this visual of adorning yourself with these.
10:41
Nicole Laino: Like, that's what I get with Taurus.
10:43
Nicole Laino: It's just, ooh, what pretty things am I going to decide are going to be mine?
10:49
Nicole Laino: What am I going to choose?
10:50
Nicole Laino: We were talking before we got on the call, too.
10:52
Nicole Laino: It's like, these are the things that are happening for everybody.
10:55
Nicole Laino: Like, planets are moving into these signs, and there are certain aspects that are happening for the collective.
11:01
Nicole Laino: But then there's going to be your chart that interacts with all of this, which your quarterly readings are amazing for that.
11:07
Nicole Laino: And helping me and all the other people understand, like, what's your recipe doing with the collective recipe right now?
11:16
Nicole Laino: And human design, I think, makes it.
11:18
Nicole Laino: Some of that can make it easy where you can see if you get channels and things like that, and it can tell you if you have.
11:23
Nicole Laino: What are you educating yourself on?
11:25
Nicole Laino: What's the universe's lesson for you this particular month?
11:30
Nicole Laino: But of course, we're all getting a collective lesson.
11:33
Nicole Laino: And right now, Aries season, to me, it does feel like the fire horse kicked off.
11:39
Nicole Laino: I do feel that energized sort of fashion.
11:44
Nicole Laino: But it's very funny, even, like, I'm in the middle of a launch right now, and we've been doing the expanded leader masterclass.
11:50
Nicole Laino: And the energy in there is so interesting to me how everybody's like, there is this, like, fire energy.
11:57
Nicole Laino: But it's almost like the whole start of this year being stop and start.
12:00
Nicole Laino: This, like, ebb and flow has maybe grounded people.
12:04
Nicole Laino: If they've really put them through their paces, where they're really feeling now's time.
12:10
Nicole Laino: Like, we've been building toward this.
12:12
Nicole Laino: It's time.
12:12
Nicole Laino: And that's very exciting because I feel that way, too.
12:15
Nicole Laino: Like, I feel like things are.
12:18
Nicole Laino: They're moving now and they're going to continue moving for a while.
12:22
Nicole Laino: But what are you seeing?
12:24
Nicole Laino: What are the things that are standing out to you for the month of April and what we're talking about today?
12:32
Christina Luna: Overall, I feel April is a very powerful month.
12:35
Christina Luna: And it's like a step one for everything that we've been preparing for.
12:39
Christina Luna: So I totally agree with you that people are grounded and they're making these moves that are meaningful, real.
12:45
Christina Luna: They're more grounded, patient goals, because we have been humbled, I think.
12:53
Christina Luna: But I also see it as a reflection.
12:56
Christina Luna: It's a reflection month.
12:58
Christina Luna: Of all the things we used to do that made us feel worthy.
13:02
Christina Luna: What are the products we bought to make ourselves feel more confident and worthy?
13:06
Christina Luna: What are the ways we presented ourselves?
13:08
Christina Luna: It has a lot to do with identity.
13:10
Christina Luna: What did I bake into my identity so that I could show that I'm worthy not just to you, but to me as well.
13:18
Christina Luna: So there's a lot of those indicators.
13:20
Christina Luna: And I think that what we'll find is things that used to have a strong draw, they're kind of neutral this Aries season.
13:28
Christina Luna: Like, we actually don't need to put on that thing to feel worthy.
13:32
Christina Luna: We don't have to, like, bling this thing to know that our words mean something.
13:38
Christina Luna: And a really strong example of this.
13:40
Christina Luna: I used to be a fashion blogger, and I used to think that people wouldn't listen to anything I had to say unless I showed them a pretty outfit.
13:47
Christina Luna: So I put a lot of energy into my outfits, but what I really wanted was to have meaningful, philosophical conversation.
13:54
Christina Luna: And I can look back at this whole long chapter of my life and see that, gosh, I don't have, like, no, my word.
14:02
Christina Luna: And what I share can stand alone as meaningful.
14:05
Christina Luna: And I don't have to wrap it up in something to make it worthy to be listened to.
14:09
Christina Luna: And so I think that this whole month of Aries or of April is that kind of reconciliation for all of us on a deep level to prepare us for the next step.
14:19
Nicole Laino: I love that you brought that up, because I wasn't thinking about it from that perspective, but I've been having that same thought.
14:27
Nicole Laino: But I wasn't coming at it from.
14:28
Nicole Laino: I wasn't seeing it from the door you came in.
14:31
Nicole Laino: I came in a different door, but we ended up in the same room.
14:34
Nicole Laino: And because I was just thinking this today, which is like, I've noticed it with messaging.
14:40
Nicole Laino: I've noticed it with what people are actually attaching to what they are.
14:45
Nicole Laino: I'm very pleased that I consciously made a decision with this masterclass that I did, to not talk about your formula of human design, to not offer the candy, because I feel like people have gotten rotten teeth after a while, and I don't feel attracted to that now.
15:03
Nicole Laino: It's like, I want to have the real conversation about what this is really about.
15:06
Nicole Laino: And I want to test and see if I have that conversation.
15:10
Nicole Laino: If I call them up to something and I speak at the frequency about the things that I want to speak at that frequency.
15:16
Nicole Laino: If I'm there, will people meet me there?
15:20
Nicole Laino: And so far, it's been received really well.
15:22
Nicole Laino: And I've noticed that there's.
15:25
Nicole Laino: I don't want to say it's a backlash, but my own experience of looking at people's.
15:30
Nicole Laino: Someone put up something that said.
15:33
Nicole Laino: I read it.
15:33
Nicole Laino: It was somebody talking about using human design that I hope you develop your cult like Brand.
15:39
Nicole Laino: And I didn't have like an ew.
15:41
Nicole Laino: It wasn't like triggered reaction.
15:44
Nicole Laino: I just went, oh, that to me, hit on a. I'm trying for something.
15:50
Nicole Laino: And I'm like, I'm so not there anymore.
15:53
Nicole Laino: Like, even if that would work, I just feel like I'm not playing that same station anymore.
16:00
Nicole Laino: That's not where I'm at.
16:01
Nicole Laino: That's not what I'm responding to.
16:03
Nicole Laino: And I remember a time where I would have been like, I want a cult like Brand because I didn't feel like.
16:08
Nicole Laino: I didn't feel like people would really respond to me.
16:10
Nicole Laino: I didn't.
16:11
Nicole Laino: Tell me how I get seen, tell me how I get heard, tell me I no longer feel that way.
16:18
Nicole Laino: So that type of messaging has.
16:21
Nicole Laino: I'm neutral to it.
16:22
Nicole Laino: It's just like, oh, yeah, that doesn't resonate for me at all.
16:26
Christina Luna: Yeah.
16:26
Christina Luna: And I think that's because we have all been cultivating an inner security while we've also been cultivating our worthiness.
16:36
Christina Luna: And so we have these different planets doing these deep, long cycles inside of us.
16:41
Christina Luna: So I just talked about how Chiron's been healing our worthiness, and Uranus has been revolutionizing our stability.
16:50
Christina Luna: And with both of those planets beginning to move to their next cycle, their next sign, their next temple, the whole.
16:57
Christina Luna: We take everything we learned, we graduate from that, and we bring it into the next one.
17:02
Christina Luna: And so we're, in many ways, we're beginners for the next iteration of our soul cycle.
17:08
Christina Luna: And Chiron will ask us now to heal.
17:11
Christina Luna: Like, so now what do you really need?
17:15
Christina Luna: Do you really need, like, Taurus rules?
17:17
Christina Luna: Do you really need to eat that food to feel comfortable?
17:20
Christina Luna: Do you really need to have one more gray sweater?
17:24
Christina Luna: Do you really need.
17:25
Christina Luna: Do you really need these things to feel safe, comfortable and secure?
17:29
Christina Luna: What actually gives you that deep level of security and safety?
17:33
Christina Luna: And can you heal that now?
17:34
Christina Luna: Can you walk with that medicine?
17:36
Christina Luna: And at the same time, Uranus is going to revolutionize the way we Communicate our preferences.
17:43
Christina Luna: We're now secure with our preferences.
17:45
Christina Luna: We're secure with what makes us ourselves.
17:48
Nicole Laino: Right.
17:49
Christina Luna: What happens now when we're walking into the world and just being that we don't have to put on my reputation, doesn't have to precede me.
17:59
Christina Luna: I can sit down in the room and I can just have a conversation with someone I've never met, and I can know that these are two beings interacting in this space.
18:09
Christina Luna: Not trying to create status, not trying to create security, not trying to sell anything with.
18:13
Christina Luna: To each other based on, like.
18:15
Christina Luna: I don't mean, like, sell.
18:16
Christina Luna: I mean, like, I don't need you to buy me.
18:18
Nicole Laino: Yeah, I know what you mean.
18:19
Nicole Laino: I'm not selling myself.
18:21
Christina Luna: Yeah, yeah.
18:22
Nicole Laino: I think about that all the time.
18:23
Nicole Laino: Like, when I think about when I was acting like I felt like I had to sell myself, every time I walked in a room, it was like I was being sized up.
18:29
Nicole Laino: And I think the people that can do that really well are the people that don't care, and they just are.
18:36
Nicole Laino: And that's what people are reacting to.
18:38
Nicole Laino: That's what they're having that positive reaction to, is how little you care.
18:44
Christina Luna: Yeah, our attention gets to be out on the experience and not so in on what it feels like inside of me in this moment.
18:52
Christina Luna: Yeah, we get to actually be focused on the other.
18:55
Christina Luna: Because the inner security is now stabilized.
18:58
Christina Luna: In Aries season, April is about.
19:01
Christina Luna: Let's take myself into the field.
19:04
Christina Luna: With all this new education, all this wisdom I have, let me expose myself to as many new experiences as I can to see how the medicine has stuck, how the growth, how the evolution has stuck.
19:16
Christina Luna: And so it's a time for trying new things, talking with new people, giving permission to be a beginner at things.
19:25
Christina Luna: Beginner energy is potent in April,.
19:30
Nicole Laino: Definitely.
19:31
Nicole Laino: And we have that kind of.
19:33
Nicole Laino: One of the things that I circled on my little set of notes is on the.
19:39
Nicole Laino: From the 5th to the 9th, we have, we're all gonna have the channel of initiation.
19:47
Nicole Laino: So that's Neptune and the sun coming together.
19:50
Nicole Laino: They're gonna be conjunct at that time, or they're gonna be close together.
19:53
Nicole Laino: But they form the channel of initiation together, those two.
19:56
Nicole Laino: And that is the channel of going first.
20:00
Nicole Laino: I mean, it's very Aries energy, but it's.
20:03
Nicole Laino: But that channel, when we have them together, when not everybody has that, you might have gate 51, which is what the sun will be in, but not everybody will have the 25 and have that channel.
20:13
Nicole Laino: And that channel is about going first.
20:15
Nicole Laino: And it's a channel of going first even when you don't know what will happen.
20:22
Nicole Laino: And you get braver, not because it all worked out, but because you took the step.
20:27
Nicole Laino: That's the thing right there.
20:28
Nicole Laino: And Mars and Neptune are right on top of each other during that time as well.
20:33
Nicole Laino: So I think that will just be even more potent.
20:37
Nicole Laino: It's already a really strong channel.
20:40
Christina Luna: Yeah.
20:40
Christina Luna: The sensation I get from the first two weeks of April is about rewilding the experience of being alive in a way that allows you to take a step and let reality render one step at a time.
20:53
Nicole Laino: Yeah.
20:54
Christina Luna: There's a strong immediacy to whatever frequency I have in this moment.
20:59
Christina Luna: I take the step in the step below my.
21:02
Christina Luna: The earth below my foot is going to render to meet that foot.
21:06
Christina Luna: And so it's not for long distance sight.
21:10
Christina Luna: It's not for planning and planning before taking action.
21:14
Christina Luna: It's getting that ship into the harbor and navigating as it's moving.
21:19
Nicole Laino: Yeah.
21:20
Nicole Laino: And that's.
21:21
Nicole Laino: I completely agree and feel the same thing.
21:24
Nicole Laino: Like looking at the chart and seeing what I'm seeing from the human design perspective as well.
21:28
Nicole Laino: Feels that way.
21:29
Nicole Laino: I think the other thing that I was getting in here, looking at what we've got going on, we've all got this.
21:35
Nicole Laino: The sun and Jupiter form a connection after they form a channel.
21:40
Nicole Laino: Right after we break out of that, from the 11th to the 16th, we have.
21:46
Nicole Laino: We're all gonna have this theme of starting something new, starting a new cycle that like what is coming up.
21:52
Nicole Laino: But this channel teaches us.
21:54
Nicole Laino: And the lesson that's gonna be here is that you're not gonna be able to keep doing everything you've been doing and start this new thing.
22:01
Nicole Laino: There's probably gonna be something that has to go.
22:03
Nicole Laino: There might be a little bit of shedding during that week of you, but it should feel good.
22:08
Nicole Laino: It should feel good letting it go.
22:10
Nicole Laino: It should feel complete.
22:12
Nicole Laino: And I think that's the difference that we can sometimes feel when we let go of something prematurely or we force ourselves.
22:20
Nicole Laino: It's almost I like or counter in my kitchen, they bloom and then eventually those petals, they're up there for a while and then it just falls off and a new one is doing its thing from inside.
22:31
Nicole Laino: And I think that's the cycle feeling that I get from it.
22:35
Nicole Laino: It's like you're not going to have to do anything.
22:36
Nicole Laino: You're not going to have to break it off.
22:39
Nicole Laino: You're just going to.
22:40
Nicole Laino: It's just going to be very apparent that this thing is no longer viable.
22:45
Christina Luna: Yeah.
22:45
Nicole Laino: It's run its course.
22:47
Christina Luna: Yeah.
22:47
Christina Luna: And I'm seeing that there's something about something celebrating that process being so in the movement and the process, it's not so outcome based.
22:57
Christina Luna: The actual sensation of the process feels like a celebration.
23:01
Nicole Laino: And it should.
23:02
Nicole Laino: I think that whenever we culminate something.
23:03
Nicole Laino: And I like to do that no matter what.
23:06
Nicole Laino: When I have clients that don't renew and they go off on their own.
23:10
Nicole Laino: First of all, I always say, like privately to myself, I have gratitude for the time, for them trusting me, for the time that we did get to spend together, for the work that we did get to do together.
23:23
Nicole Laino: I expressed gratitude to them.
23:26
Nicole Laino: But it's also.
23:26
Nicole Laino: It's just this.
23:27
Nicole Laino: It should be a celebration because it's also.
23:29
Nicole Laino: Who the hell knows what's going to happen?
23:31
Nicole Laino: Things leave, things come back.
23:33
Nicole Laino: People leave, People come back.
23:35
Nicole Laino: I've had that happen more than once.
23:37
Nicole Laino: But when we hold on and we don't allow the cycle, like I think that is something like, thank you for bringing it up.
23:44
Nicole Laino: Because I think that it brings up another point which is that when we hold onto something longer than we should and we're not.
23:51
Nicole Laino: Even if it's energetically like we let it go, but we didn't really let it go.
23:56
Nicole Laino: It just.
23:57
Nicole Laino: It never.
23:58
Nicole Laino: It's not complete.
23:59
Nicole Laino: So it's also not free to come back to you.
24:01
Nicole Laino: Then it's not.
24:03
Nicole Laino: You're holding on artificially.
24:06
Christina Luna: Yeah.
24:07
Nicole Laino: And it's keeping so much from going on.
24:09
Nicole Laino: And that is the lesson of this channel, is that it does tell you that in order.
24:13
Nicole Laino: It's the wisdom to know when to start things and the wisdom to know when they end.
24:17
Nicole Laino: To allow both things to happen without worrying about what comes next and just trusting that the fuel and the fire and the wisdom will be there to sustain it as long as it's meant to go and then.
24:31
Nicole Laino: But to close it out when it's time for it to end.
24:34
Nicole Laino: And that's like that middle of the month.
24:35
Nicole Laino: I see that being a theme.
24:38
Christina Luna: You know, I actually have a note on that week from the 19th all the way till the 25th.
24:43
Christina Luna: That's going to be a pretty powerful week because I think that people will really be making these revolutionary moves.
24:49
Christina Luna: They're going to.
24:51
Christina Luna: You're going to see people feel really powered in those choices.
24:55
Christina Luna: And I feel like there will be some of us that feel a little left out in the cold, like weren't chosen.
25:01
Christina Luna: I'm hoping that we can bring a lot of understanding and grace because this feels like a destined shift.
25:08
Christina Luna: There was nothing that we could have done differently to not make these changes.
25:13
Christina Luna: You know what you're talking about?
25:14
Christina Luna: The cycle just ends.
25:15
Christina Luna: You can't mourn that.
25:16
Christina Luna: You can't put the orchid flower back onto the plant.
25:19
Christina Luna: It is just time for that flower to drop and we can feel whatever we want.
25:24
Christina Luna: And oftentimes the energy of a week like this can bring up feelings of.
25:29
Christina Luna: I don't want to hurt their feelings.
25:30
Christina Luna: I don't want them to feel left out in the cold, but I have to choose this.
25:34
Christina Luna: I must choose this.
25:35
Nicole Laino: Yeah.
25:36
Christina Luna: And I definitely see that.
25:37
Christina Luna: And I definitely see that once those shifts are made, it really frees up bandwidth for everyone.
25:43
Christina Luna: Like, clarity is kind.
25:46
Nicole Laino: Yeah, no, and that's what happens.
25:48
Nicole Laino: And that is the lesson of this.
25:50
Nicole Laino: It's like you let it go and what did you create space for that person.
25:54
Nicole Laino: So you might see the month of April where there's just this end, because there's this theme of beginnings and endings is just this consistent thing moving in and out of the.
26:04
Nicole Laino: At least the human design gates.
26:05
Nicole Laino: That week that you talked about, you know, around the 19th, the sun is in the gate of ordering is what it's called, which is also known as difficulty at the beginning, which is like when everything looks like chaos at the beginning of whatever, scattershot everything everywhere.
26:21
Nicole Laino: And then you're trying to put the pieces together to make sense of how do we move forward.
26:28
Nicole Laino: But that is the energy of innovation and where innovation is born from.
26:35
Nicole Laino: It's the brainstorm.
26:36
Nicole Laino: Right.
26:36
Nicole Laino: What do you do with a brainstorm?
26:38
Nicole Laino: You could just write shit on a board a bunch of times.
26:41
Nicole Laino: But it's what you do with that stuff that you put on the board.
26:44
Nicole Laino: You're going to erase some stuff, you're going to cross it out, you're going to circle some things because you're like, I'm coming back to this.
26:50
Nicole Laino: That's the energy of it.
26:51
Nicole Laino: It's like, we don't know what this is yet, but the raw material is here.
26:56
Christina Luna: Yeah, yeah.
26:57
Nicole Laino: And then I see, like the ball getting passed back and forth between some of the gates we have.
27:02
Nicole Laino: There's a lot of controlling energy that comes in here.
27:06
Nicole Laino: Certainly at the end of the month.
27:08
Nicole Laino: We started off the beginning of the month not to backtrack, but like that first week, the sun is in the gate of control.
27:14
Nicole Laino: But then, like all the closer planets, do they eventually get there very close in time.
27:20
Nicole Laino: But the end of the month, we've got Mercury and Mars that are dancing in this space of control and shock courage.
27:30
Nicole Laino: So there's a little bit of that, like it's different shades of ego is how it comes through here.
27:35
Nicole Laino: And like that the 20th on they play this little game back and forth.
27:40
Nicole Laino: But that I think Mars in the 21st gate and Mars in the 51st gate.
27:45
Nicole Laino: This is like Mars's big energy here is I want to control it.
27:51
Nicole Laino: 21 Is known as the hunter Huntress.
27:53
Nicole Laino: And if you think about it from that perspective of I eat what I kill and I'm gonna eat, so I'm gonna go hunt and if I hunt every day, then I eat every day, that's what the 21st gate can want.
28:06
Nicole Laino: So you might see a little bit of that with.
28:08
Nicole Laino: You might have a little bit of an edge to your communication.
28:11
Nicole Laino: You might feel very action oriented.
28:14
Nicole Laino: And just notice if that feels like a healthy way because there I think that it's divine.
28:19
Nicole Laino: Masculine says I do have to take action if I want to get what I want.
28:23
Nicole Laino: But I'm not going to do that from a place of pure ego, of show you how big I am and how much I can do.
28:30
Nicole Laino: And I'm also not going to do it from a place of I'm so scared that I won't get what I need, that I must control everything.
28:37
Nicole Laino: So I think it's like that is the energy sort of asking us to see where we land in that space at the end of the month.
28:45
Nicole Laino: Right after is when we cross over into Taurus season, the sun will be moving on.
28:50
Nicole Laino: These are still a lot of planets playing in Aries at that time.
28:55
Nicole Laino: So I think that's gonna be asking us to check in with ourselves in that respect.
28:59
Nicole Laino: Yeah.
28:59
Christina Luna: And you brought up ego.
29:01
Christina Luna: The first three signs of the zodiac, Aries, Taurus and Gemini.
29:06
Christina Luna: That is an entire arrow of manifestation.
29:09
Christina Luna: I like to think that the cardinal sign at the beginning of each cycle is pulling an arrow.
29:15
Christina Luna: And this is the most personal, most self centered, most personally identified arrow of manifestation.
29:24
Christina Luna: We have to know that we are an individual, we are the center of our perspective.
29:30
Christina Luna: And so we are being asked to acknowledge the one person we are and pull the arrow back from our own ego, from our own individuality, from our own desires.
29:43
Christina Luna: And we're going to challenge that.
29:46
Christina Luna: It will be challenged while it's moving through Taurus to see if it's sustainable, if it can actually be resourced enough, if there's enough energy and attention and focus and consistent effort to back up what it is we personally desire to create.
30:03
Christina Luna: And this month of April is all about that part of the cycle.
30:08
Christina Luna: So our ego, we're meant to actually take Our ego in our hands and say, yes, I'm not going to shame the fact that I have an ego.
30:15
Christina Luna: I'm not going to shame that I have my own desires, my own preferences.
30:19
Christina Luna: This is who I am.
30:20
Christina Luna: This is my life.
30:21
Christina Luna: I have to own this.
30:22
Christina Luna: I have to claim it.
30:23
Christina Luna: If I do it really well now, I won't have to borrow from some future moment to reestablish that later.
30:30
Nicole Laino: Well, exactly.
30:31
Nicole Laino: And I'm glad that you brought that up, because we will when we're through with April.
30:35
Nicole Laino: May is going to move us into that second quarter in the human design cycle, which is the concretizing.
30:40
Nicole Laino: We are in the like.
30:42
Nicole Laino: All right, let's see what we got.
30:44
Nicole Laino: What are we gonna do?
30:45
Nicole Laino: Ideating.
30:46
Nicole Laino: What's the plan?
30:47
Nicole Laino: And in April, we're starting with the like, okay, well, let's play with actually doing something.
30:51
Nicole Laino: We were thinking a whole lot up until now.
30:54
Nicole Laino: And then Aries comes in.
30:55
Nicole Laino: That pulling back of the arrow is like, there is a lot of action in this moment and in this month.
31:02
Nicole Laino: And I think we're also showing ourselves, like, this is a gym.
31:06
Nicole Laino: This is, like, where we get to play.
31:08
Nicole Laino: And like I said, you know that us getting that 25, 51 channel, us getting that, we get that twice in the month.
31:16
Nicole Laino: We get it at the end of the month, and we get it at the beginning of the month.
31:19
Nicole Laino: That channel of initiation, I made a point of saying that it's.
31:24
Nicole Laino: You develop courage through just taking steps, being first, going first.
31:31
Nicole Laino: It is a channel of not knowing how it's all going to work out, but having.
31:36
Nicole Laino: But courage is developed through that.
31:39
Nicole Laino: And the 25th gate is an identity gate.
31:42
Nicole Laino: So it's where ego meets identity.
31:44
Nicole Laino: It is where divine masculine action, by taking it, changes who you are on, like, a spiritual, deep level.
31:53
Nicole Laino: The action that you take in the month of April, we always get gay 51, but we don't always get Neptune in the 25th gate, completing the channel we don't always get.
32:04
Nicole Laino: We have the 25th gate coming up in another place, I believe, too, on here.
32:08
Nicole Laino: But we don't always get this channel at this month.
32:11
Nicole Laino: So I think we're getting it for a reason.
32:14
Nicole Laino: This is a playground for you to take chances to change who you are.
32:18
Nicole Laino: The action you take in April will shift you on a cellular level of how you feel about yourself.
32:25
Nicole Laino: You brought up identity before.
32:27
Nicole Laino: Who am I?
32:29
Nicole Laino: Who you are is dictated by what you do, not just what you think.
32:32
Christina Luna: That's right.
32:33
Christina Luna: And I was getting.
32:34
Christina Luna: While you were speaking, I was like, wow, the people that this is going to be the hardest for are people who had to sacrifice their authenticity for attachment in previous parts of their cycle.
32:45
Christina Luna: If you have a lot of Libra placements, because Libra is the opposite of Aries, we do have a Libra full moon, like the very first week of April.
32:55
Christina Luna: And that's a really good time to ask yourself, how much of my authentic identity have I sacrificed in order to make peace, in order to keep harmony, in order to keep connection, in order to be in relationship, in order to be like, accepted.
33:12
Christina Luna: And so the people that this will be the hardest month for are people who have a lot of unconscious patterns around sacrificing their own authenticity for harmony or for in exchange for secure attachment.
33:30
Christina Luna: And so if that sounds like something that we have struggled with, this is a really good month to be like, you know what?
33:37
Christina Luna: This is my life.
33:40
Christina Luna: If I don't claim this life, how long will I let it be someone else's?
33:44
Christina Luna: How long will I follow someone else's for someone else's approval, someone else's expectations, someone else's whatever, telling someone else, telling me that I'm okay, how I am.
33:55
Christina Luna: And so it's a really tender moment if we're just being authentic, maybe for the first time in our lives, just giving ourselves permission for that.
34:04
Christina Luna: And also be so compassionate with yourself as we're navigating that.
34:09
Christina Luna: I know there are parts of me that just discovered where my authenticity was sacrificed for connection, just uncovered it in the last month.
34:18
Christina Luna: And I'm a pretty self aware girl.
34:20
Christina Luna: But it is a another moment to peel it back, another moment to get in touch with it.
34:25
Nicole Laino: And we never know ourselves completely.
34:28
Nicole Laino: There's always another layer, there's always another level.
34:31
Nicole Laino: And you have a lot of Libra placements, don't you?
34:33
Christina Luna: I'm practically, yeah, lots of Libra.
34:36
Nicole Laino: Like you're almost there, you're on the cusp.
34:38
Nicole Laino: Anyway.
34:39
Christina Luna: Yeah, Virgo Libra being.
34:42
Nicole Laino: Well, that's like my whole chart is just.
34:44
Nicole Laino: It's like Virgo Scorpio.
34:46
Nicole Laino: Like it's all like a little bowl on the side of the, on the top half of the chart.
34:50
Nicole Laino: But yeah, I feel like that's.
34:53
Nicole Laino: We are self aware, but I think that's where this type of work is so important because the surface level questions for anybody.
35:00
Nicole Laino: And I think a lot of people who listen to the show are self aware and deep and have done the journaling and have done the gone on the retreats and done ayahuasca and things like that where they've gone on these journeys.
35:14
Nicole Laino: But It's I think that stuff like this, like astrology, like human design, gets us asking the questions that are beneath the surface, that get us to that.
35:24
Nicole Laino: And the energy pushes it and is.
35:26
Nicole Laino: Wait, here, this is present.
35:28
Nicole Laino: I thought I knew the answer.
35:29
Nicole Laino: That's how I felt in Pisces season.
35:31
Nicole Laino: I thought I knew a lot of these answers.
35:33
Nicole Laino: I thought, like, I've asked these questions before, but I didn't realize I was still afraid of that thing.
35:38
Nicole Laino: I didn't realize I still had that anxiety around that.
35:41
Nicole Laino: I didn't realize that was still lurking until I felt it.
35:46
Nicole Laino: And I felt it because the energy made me crazy a little bit for a while.
35:50
Nicole Laino: But it surfaced this thing that I was able to look at from a whole different way.
35:55
Nicole Laino: So I think you're talking about that from the authenticity standpoint.
35:58
Nicole Laino: So for anybody, if you have a lot of Libra placements in your chart, you want to maybe be looking at those.
36:04
Nicole Laino: What house do those sit in?
36:05
Nicole Laino: What's being challenged here?
36:07
Nicole Laino: Where are you being called to examine?
36:11
Nicole Laino: Where maybe you've sacrificed your own authenticity for harmony, for peace, in a relationship of some kind?
36:20
Christina Luna: Yeah.
36:20
Christina Luna: And I will just say, if this is you, I don't have any planets in Aries is a very like.
36:26
Christina Luna: I need somehow to be frustrated through relationship or disturbed or perturbed through relationship to know what's actually going on with me.
36:37
Christina Luna: And it's really easy to go ahead and make it about the other person or make it like, try to project the issue onto the relationship experience as a whole.
36:47
Christina Luna: But because we are self aware and we know that if we're feeling something, it's ours to investigate, that is actually the gateway to finding what preference or authentic expression within me have I suppressed?
37:01
Christina Luna: Am I suppressing what Am I denying myself from being able to taste fully?
37:08
Christina Luna: That's frustrating me.
37:10
Christina Luna: Because I can see someone else doing it or because I can, because I'm projecting and fixating and fascinated by what this other person is doing, experiencing, enjoying, et cetera.
37:22
Christina Luna: So I really have to use a lot of relationship as my mirror and I have to really actively personalize it for myself in order to find my own issues.
37:34
Nicole Laino: Aren't maps wonderful, though?
37:35
Christina Luna: They're wonderful.
37:37
Nicole Laino: Give us these little portals to understand ourselves, to know that's how you are going to discover yourself.
37:42
Nicole Laino: It's probably going to be through this world of relationship and then playing with that.
37:47
Nicole Laino: And because, I mean, when you first learn this stuff, it starts out at that surface level, but when you start doing it for a while, you're like, okay, I'VE explored that, I've explored that.
37:55
Nicole Laino: And then suddenly you discover this whole other dimension with these things.
37:58
Nicole Laino: Is there anything else that you wanted that you got circled on your calendar?
38:01
Nicole Laino: Anything that you're looking out for or paying attention to this month?
38:06
Christina Luna: Yeah, I would definitely have everyone circle the 24th and 25th.
38:13
Christina Luna: We're gonna have both Venus and Uranus moving into Gemini on those days.
38:17
Christina Luna: And if anyone was curious about how Gemini feels different from Taurus, that's gonna be the day to pay attention.
38:24
Nicole Laino: Oh, no.
38:26
Christina Luna: Because we have this.
38:27
Christina Luna: Of having both Venus and Uranus at the same time doing it.
38:31
Christina Luna: And I think it's going to create an abrupt awareness of something that is just.
38:36
Christina Luna: We're just not into it anymore because the sun will also be squaring Pluto on the same day.
38:41
Christina Luna: So it's just going to be this, like, really stark, clear change in our nervous system.
38:47
Christina Luna: So I would be looking for that, and I probably would be, too.
38:52
Christina Luna: Make strong assumptions until after that's taken place.
38:57
Nicole Laino: Okay.
38:57
Christina Luna: I think hold it.
38:59
Christina Luna: Let the pressure of exploration and curiosity, let that be held in a way that will expand us.
39:09
Christina Luna: Expand, expand.
39:10
Christina Luna: And then we'll be able to speak about it, share about it, understand it, grock it, get it into the mind space and out of the unconscious body.
39:19
Nicole Laino: Space and tell everybody just very quickly what's going to be.
39:24
Nicole Laino: We talked a little bit about Uranus in Taurus and what it was doing, and without telegraphing what they're going to feel.
39:32
Nicole Laino: But what is the difference between Taurus and Gemini, Particularly through that Uranus lens of being, like, the rule breaker, the disruptor, and all of that.
39:44
Nicole Laino: I think that there's also.
39:45
Nicole Laino: There's a lot of stuff online that will talk about historically that this is when wars are started.
39:51
Nicole Laino: This is that there can be some real scary doomsday stuff shared about these kind of things.
39:57
Nicole Laino: But how do you see that shift from.
40:00
Nicole Laino: Obviously, Taurus and Gemini are different, but our listeners may not understand exactly what the implications of that might feel like.
40:06
Christina Luna: I'm going to humbly admit that because I have not personally lived through anything like this.
40:12
Christina Luna: Yeah, I remember when I was speculating about Uranus moving into Taurus, and I remember feeling into it before it came and then being with it and being.
40:24
Nicole Laino: Like, oh, this is so different.
40:26
Christina Luna: Hey.
40:27
Christina Luna: So I can reflect on.
40:28
Christina Luna: Okay.
40:29
Christina Luna: I'm projecting into what I think it is, but it's probably going to be very different.
40:34
Christina Luna: So what I can say is Gemini is a mutable air sign, while Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign while Uranus moves through Taurus.
40:44
Christina Luna: The revolutions around the changes and shifts around what we actually need to feel sustainable in our lives.
40:53
Christina Luna: So a lot of shifts around money, finances, feeling like we're essential, feeling like we're doing the essential, knowing what the essential needs are that we have, that's all going to move into this place, around the stories and narratives that we tell between each other.
41:10
Christina Luna: It's the first interpersonal sign, Gemini rules.
41:14
Christina Luna: It's the stage of development where you realize that you have a sibling in the house and they have been there, they were there before you.
41:23
Christina Luna: Maybe I was an oldest child, so I didn't have a sibling in the house before.
41:27
Christina Luna: But I remember the clear distinction of there's a you and there's a me and things from that perspective.
41:34
Christina Luna: I see things from this perspective.
41:36
Christina Luna: And so I think we're going to start really thinking about stories as a culture, stories as people with different perspectives.
41:45
Christina Luna: And I think that hopefully there can be some growth and compassion and patience.
41:53
Christina Luna: But at the beginning of a cycle, that's not.
41:55
Christina Luna: When those, when that medicine comes in.
41:58
Christina Luna: Yeah.
41:58
Christina Luna: Like oftentimes there's clashes of opinion, there's clashes of story, there's people speaking stories over each other.
42:05
Christina Luna: And so it's probably better to narrow it down to the area of your life where you have Gemini, where it's opening up.
42:14
Christina Luna: And so I guess if I was going to give one blanket statement, it would be identify the preferences and opinions you have and know that they're just preferences and opinions.
42:26
Christina Luna: They're not truth.
42:28
Christina Luna: Gemini is the opposite of Sagittarius.
42:30
Christina Luna: Gemini opinions.
42:31
Christina Luna: Opinions are not universal truths.
42:34
Christina Luna: Opinions can be true for you, but the way you know it's not universal is if it can't also be true for someone else.
42:41
Christina Luna: Like, absolutely.
42:42
Christina Luna: It's just an opinion.
42:44
Christina Luna: And universal truths are blanket truths, philosophical truths, and we sometimes get confused about those.
42:51
Christina Luna: So I think that we're going to notice that a lot of public opinion, a lot of cultural opinion, it's not a law, it's just an opinion, it's just a story, it's not a universal law.
43:05
Christina Luna: And so that could be where the destabilization starts.
43:09
Christina Luna: And then we have this whole seven year evolution of that.
43:14
Nicole Laino: Yeah.
43:15
Nicole Laino: And I mean, I'm already seeing some of that start to play out because these transitional moments, it's like that day will feel like it'll officially move over, but I think we're already starting to see some of that happen.
43:27
Nicole Laino: And I absolutely do appreciate that.
43:30
Nicole Laino: Disclaimer at the beginning of none of us were alive?
43:32
Nicole Laino: Well, I guess not.
43:33
Nicole Laino: None, but probably nobody listening to this show was alive.
43:37
Nicole Laino: The last time Uranus was in Gemini.
43:41
Christina Luna: I think it's like 84 years or something.
43:43
Nicole Laino: Yeah, it was like in the 1930s, right?
43:47
Nicole Laino: 1940S.
43:48
Nicole Laino: 30S, 40s.
43:50
Nicole Laino: It was when World War II started, I believe.
43:54
Christina Luna: So, yeah, you can even look at that.
43:55
Christina Luna: Right?
43:56
Christina Luna: There was a really strong story being told culturally that clashed with another story being told culturally.
44:04
Christina Luna: And both parties believed that they were leading a universal truce.
44:08
Christina Luna: These cultural stories are just opinions.
44:10
Christina Luna: And they're long held opinions sometimes, but they're just opinions.
44:15
Christina Luna: They're not natural law.
44:17
Christina Luna: Gemini is not natural law.
44:19
Christina Luna: And so we're going to feel very right about what we believe.
44:23
Christina Luna: We're going to feel right about our stories.
44:26
Christina Luna: It's a good time for reading memoirs, for writing memoirs, for sharing intimate stories so that we can gain a larger capacity for storytelling.
44:40
Nicole Laino: I like that.
44:41
Christina Luna: That's a really good time for storytelling.
44:43
Christina Luna: I think if for people like you and I, if we can start being in the world with more of our personal story as an example of the universal truth, it will benefit us a lot.
44:56
Christina Luna: I've even noticed that in my own, like, writing that I've gone from collectively, it feels like this.
45:02
Christina Luna: I've been like, no, right now my heart feels tender.
45:04
Christina Luna: I am like, I'm expanding.
45:06
Christina Luna: My heart is trying to grow around something that it's never metabolized before.
45:11
Nicole Laino: So I think something that's interesting that you made me think about was, I wonder if.
45:16
Nicole Laino: Are you on the sub stack?
45:18
Nicole Laino: Are you.
45:18
Nicole Laino: Do you.
45:19
Nicole Laino: Are you over there?
45:20
Christina Luna: No, I'm not.
45:21
Nicole Laino: Like, I just started playing around over there and I'm enjoying it.
45:25
Nicole Laino: And the thing that I'm feeling more comfortable with over there is the storytelling aspect of.
45:33
Nicole Laino: And I don't normally share.
45:35
Nicole Laino: I'm not a big divulger of my story because I think in my mind, my practical mind, it's like, who cares what my story is?
45:40
Nicole Laino: Who gives a shit?
45:42
Nicole Laino: But over there, I do feel like that's because a culture has been created around this, like, you know, weaving yourself into what you're talking about, where it isn't just content and it isn't just tips.
45:55
Nicole Laino: It's this place where people are sharing stories.
45:58
Nicole Laino: And I see people really gravitating toward that space.
46:02
Nicole Laino: It's becoming very big for a lot of people, obviously.
46:04
Nicole Laino: But it's also just.
46:05
Nicole Laino: It's very different conversation than any of the other platforms are having.
46:10
Nicole Laino: And who knows, maybe that's a place where people can feel they can go and exercise their story a little bit.
46:14
Nicole Laino: Maybe you want to share it for yourself, and then maybe you want to put it out to the world, and that might be a platform for you.
46:20
Christina Luna: Yeah.
46:21
Nicole Laino: But any other dates or things that you're like, we need to tell the people about before we close it down for the month.
46:27
Christina Luna: I might make a real detailed video for my YouTube, but I.
46:32
Christina Luna: Overall, I.
46:33
Christina Luna: That's the primary one that really sticks out, and I feel like we've covered everything I'm feeling about April.
46:39
Nicole Laino: That's how I feel.
46:40
Nicole Laino: I feel like we have these, like, two themes.
46:42
Nicole Laino: For me, there's two big themes that are happening that first to second week of that initiation.
46:48
Nicole Laino: Then we get it again at the end, but they're both followed closely.
46:52
Nicole Laino: There's these two themes that happen twice that happen.
46:55
Nicole Laino: The initiation theme and the opening and closing of cycles.
46:59
Nicole Laino: That's the story for me, from a human design perspective of April is knowing when to.
47:05
Nicole Laino: No one to hold them, no one to fold them, and when is it time to take a chance on yourself?
47:11
Nicole Laino: And how does that shape your identity as a human, as an individual?
47:15
Nicole Laino: To say, like, I did this thing, therefore I've changed.
47:19
Nicole Laino: That's a story of April.
47:21
Christina Luna: Oh, I do have one last thing.
47:22
Christina Luna: Yeah.
47:23
Christina Luna: For a brief time between April 9th and April 24th.
47:28
Nicole Laino: Okay.
47:29
Christina Luna: Mars will be in his temple of Aries, and Venus will be in her temple of Taurus.
47:33
Christina Luna: It's a pretty short period of time, but.
47:35
Christina Luna: But I think if any person is studying their own masculine and feminine energy, their ability to receive, and their ability to put energy outward, this is a really good time because the planets will be in their most aligned temples.
47:52
Christina Luna: And so it's just a great time for witnessing how we're working with masculine and feminine energy in our lives.
47:58
Nicole Laino: I love that call out.
47:59
Christina Luna: Thank you.
48:00
Nicole Laino: I like that I didn't pick up on that one, so I love that you did.
48:03
Nicole Laino: Thank you for sharing.
48:05
Nicole Laino: All right, I think we've said it all.
48:07
Nicole Laino: We're gonna leave them here.
48:09
Nicole Laino: Y' all have plenty to go on.
48:11
Nicole Laino: I think this will be a fun month, though.
48:14
Nicole Laino: I think if you go through it, and I think the biggest.
48:17
Nicole Laino: To me, it's like the thing that would be missed is if you don't take action in April, not from a false place, but you're going to be called.
48:24
Nicole Laino: You're going to feel moved, you are going to feel a pull, and if you don't answer it, I think that you will find it hard in Taurus season.
48:34
Nicole Laino: You're going to want to Start something, and the energy will not be supporting it the way that it does.
48:41
Nicole Laino: In April, in May, it's going to be like, now we're working with the materials that we brought to the table.
48:48
Nicole Laino: And it's like, if you didn't go grab those materials and bring them to the table, you're looking around at the rest of the class with an empty table, and you're just like, wait, what are we building?
48:56
Nicole Laino: And everybody's, I'm building my thing.
48:58
Christina Luna: Yeah.
48:59
Nicole Laino: That's what I feel.
49:00
Nicole Laino: So this is a courage month.
49:01
Nicole Laino: This is gonna be.
49:02
Nicole Laino: This is an action month.
49:03
Nicole Laino: Do it from, like, really tune into yourself.
49:05
Nicole Laino: So you're doing that from a place of real alignment and not from force.
49:12
Christina Luna: Yep.
49:12
Nicole Laino: All right.
49:13
Nicole Laino: How can everybody stay in touch with you?
49:15
Nicole Laino: What do you have going on?
49:16
Nicole Laino: How can people keep going with you?
49:19
Christina Luna: Oh, okay.
49:19
Christina Luna: Yeah.
49:20
Christina Luna: So April is open enrollment for stepping into quarterly readings.
49:25
Christina Luna: I was very reluctant to open that last month because I was already feeling the pressure of everything.
49:31
Christina Luna: But I do have spaciousness near the end of April for people to step into quarterly readings.
49:38
Christina Luna: And I strongly suggest they step in during this one because this is actually the first quarter of the astrological year.
49:45
Christina Luna: And it will give them kind of a foundation for an entire year of understanding those cycles within themselves.
49:52
Christina Luna: So if you've been feeling called, if you've been feeling like you don't know when the right time to start those is, this would be a pretty good window to start.
50:01
Nicole Laino: You'll be happy that you did.
50:02
Nicole Laino: I don't know.
50:03
Nicole Laino: I know so many people that are doing these readings with you now, and everybody's.
50:06
Christina Luna: I love my reading.
50:07
Nicole Laino: I love my quarterly reading, and I love it.
50:09
Nicole Laino: I go back to mine over and over again throughout the month, throughout the quarter, not just the month.
50:13
Nicole Laino: They're awesome.
50:14
Nicole Laino: So highly recommend jumping on that and grabbing a spot while they're still available.
50:18
Nicole Laino: Because she does fill up.
