Transcript
- 0:11Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
- 0:17Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:22Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design.
- 0:26Nicole Laino: Everybody.
- 0:27Nicole Laino: I am so excited to be here with you.
- 0:29Nicole Laino: I am Nicole Laino.
- 0:30Nicole Laino: I. I am your host.
- 0:32Nicole Laino: And if you're joining us on YouTube, you're seeing that we are in my brand new studio.
- 0:36Nicole Laino: So I'm super excited about that, making this a very fun video to create for you.
- 0:41Nicole Laino: Not that it's always fun, but it's especially fun today.
- 0:45Nicole Laino: And I am coming to you with this is a New Year's episode.
- 0:48Nicole Laino: You might be saying, well, Nicole, New Year's happened two weeks ago.
- 0:52Nicole Laino: Why are we talking about New Year's now still?
- 0:54Nicole Laino: Like, haven't we passed like the statute of limitations on how long we can actually talk about New Year's?
- 1:01Nicole Laino: Well, it actually hasn't changed yet.
- 1:03Nicole Laino: And I've talked about this, I've touched on this a little bit on the show before.
- 1:06Nicole Laino: But we're going to go deep into it today because the calendar year, yes, the calendar has turned its page.
- 1:12Nicole Laino: It is officially 2026 according to our calendar because we are in January.
- 1:17Nicole Laino: But according to human design, it isn't quite New Year yet.
- 1:20Nicole Laino: And then if you go with the Chinese astrology, it's not new year until February 17th.
- 1:27Nicole Laino: Right.
- 1:28Nicole Laino: So I want to kind of start this off with just a question.
- 1:31Nicole Laino: How are you feeling right now?
- 1:33Nicole Laino: Are you feeling like New Year's was two weeks ago, or are you kind of just starting to feel like maybe there's a little bit of momentum that there's like you're starting to feel like things are coming together.
- 1:44Nicole Laino: Because I know it's really common for people to feel like you're not quite ready to accelerate yet in the beginning of the year.
- 1:51Nicole Laino: And there is a reason for that.
- 1:52Nicole Laino: The human design New Year doesn't actually happen until a very specific thing happens.
- 1:58Nicole Laino: What we're tracking here is on January 21st.
- 2:02Nicole Laino: Well, if you're in the US it's January 21st.
- 2:04Nicole Laino: If you're in Europe or other parts of the world where you're further ahead in your time zone, it's actually January 22nd.
- 2:10Nicole Laino: But January 21st, at 8pm Eastern time, the sun transits into gate 41.
- 2:19Nicole Laino: And gate 41 is very special.
- 2:22Nicole Laino: Gate 41 is associated with the amino acid methionine, which is the start codon in DNA.
- 2:31Nicole Laino: It signals to DNA to start the process, the protein process.
- 2:37Nicole Laino: So this is sort of like the Collective's birthday.
- 2:40Nicole Laino: It's kind of like we can treat this particular day like a day to do a reading for the year.
- 2:47Nicole Laino: So it's called the rave New Year 2026.
- 2:50Nicole Laino: This is the rave New Year will be on January 22nd.
- 2:52Nicole Laino: I'm doing this about a week early before it actually happens.
- 2:55Nicole Laino: So you have some time to kind of process this and you can come back to this episode, because we're going to talk about themes for the year.
- 3:02Nicole Laino: Just like you can have an astrologer or a human design analyst or expert do a reading for your solar return, which is done every birthday.
- 3:12Nicole Laino: So each birthday we get kind of theme for the year of what's happening in the planet.
- 3:17Nicole Laino: Very similarly.
- 3:18Nicole Laino: This is what we are doing for the world with this reading.
- 3:23Nicole Laino: So we're going to go through themes that I noticed when I ran the chart for this year.
- 3:30Nicole Laino: And I have to say, it's a doozy.
- 3:33Nicole Laino: This year is pretty crazy.
- 3:34Nicole Laino: I've never seen a chart like this.
- 3:37Nicole Laino: And I even went back and I was like, maybe it's just before I started doing these, because I only started to understand the whole Rave New Year thing a couple of years ago.
- 3:46Nicole Laino: And I went back more than 10 years in records, just ran charts for each year and pulled them.
- 3:52Nicole Laino: And I've never seen a chart with this many themes in it.
- 3:55Nicole Laino: And we have years, of course, that have big themes, but this one is just.
- 3:58Nicole Laino: There's so many repeating ones that they're, like, beating us over the head.
- 4:02Nicole Laino: And I would be remiss if I didn't bring it to you here in the show.
- 4:05Nicole Laino: So we're going to dive into all of that.
- 4:07Nicole Laino: I'm going to break down the things that I think are the most beneficial to understand.
- 4:12Nicole Laino: I think they're very interesting for right now, I think, especially with what's happening in the world.
- 4:17Nicole Laino: It's also really important for me to tell you that this is not like your personal forecast.
- 4:21Nicole Laino: This is the forecast for life.
- 4:24Nicole Laino: This is the forecast for the world.
- 4:26Nicole Laino: So what do we do with something like this?
- 4:28Nicole Laino: I think it's something that we get to observe in the Collective and when we understand, just like the Transit episodes that I do every month with Christina Luna here on the show, which I know that everybody loves, some of our most popular episodes, everybody loves those because it's the same thing.
- 4:45Nicole Laino: We're Giving you kind of the lay of the land for the cosmic weather ahead.
- 4:49Nicole Laino: This is kind of like what this is.
- 4:51Nicole Laino: So you can certainly start to.
- 4:54Nicole Laino: I think as I was going through this, I got kind of emotional, actually looking at this year's chart for the collective, this particular chart, I think that there are some really difficult, challenging, awful things happening in the world right now.
- 5:07Nicole Laino: I think a lot of people are feeling the weight of that.
- 5:11Nicole Laino: And this chart, I thought, spoke to those themes in a really interesting way.
- 5:17Nicole Laino: And I think, if anything, if we use some of these tools like astrology, like human design, where we get a little bit of a peek into what's going on energetically, it can help us understand maybe where we can step up and be part of what we want the change to be.
- 5:34Nicole Laino: What do we want to be a part of?
- 5:36Nicole Laino: How do we see this kind of coming together?
- 5:38Nicole Laino: And how can we play a bigger role maybe in the collective scheme, if that is what you feel called to.
- 5:45Nicole Laino: So we're going to go through the.
- 5:46Nicole Laino: I have some highlights from the chart that I really want to call out for you.
- 5:51Nicole Laino: And if you'd like to see more of this type of content, maybe over on the YouTube channel.
- 5:55Nicole Laino: We're going to be expanding the YouTube channel.
- 5:58Nicole Laino: Send me a DM, let me know like that you'd be interested in that.
- 6:01Nicole Laino: Because we're always looking for content to create for you guys.
- 6:04Nicole Laino: Before we get started with the reading, I do want to let you know about two things that we have going on.
- 6:08Nicole Laino: We have a free guide.
- 6:09Nicole Laino: So if you're kind of getting through your New Year, planning your New year, there is still time for that.
- 6:14Nicole Laino: We are still in the phase of planning because New Year hasn't happened yet.
- 6:19Nicole Laino: So if you are looking for.
- 6:20Nicole Laino: We have a free guide.
- 6:21Nicole Laino: If you're looking for something to help you plan your year out strategically and energetically for 2026, we call it the Unshakable New Year Guide.
- 6:29Nicole Laino: If you want that, just DM me the word New Year 2026 on Instagram.
- 6:34Nicole Laino: I'm icoleno official.
- 6:36Nicole Laino: Or if you want to join us for a deeper dive into.
- 6:39Nicole Laino: We're actually hosting a paid workshop on.
- 6:42Nicole Laino: On shifting your identity with the G Center.
- 6:45Nicole Laino: It's called recalibrate.
- 6:46Nicole Laino: We're going to go deep into the gates of the G Center.
- 6:48Nicole Laino: What it means to have an open G center, a defined G center, how you can use that to step into your next level identity, how that's correct for you with your makeup of your G Center, not mine.
- 7:01Nicole Laino: So it's not the traditional identity work that we do with everybody, this is going to be very tailored to each individual.
- 7:06Nicole Laino: Based on your chart will show you how to go into that.
- 7:09Nicole Laino: So that is a paid workshop.
- 7:10Nicole Laino: If you want to be a part of that, just DM me the word identity on Instagram again.
- 7:15Nicole Laino: Icoleno official.
- 7:16Nicole Laino: We'll have it all linked up for you in the show notes with the links to take you directly to the website too, if you don't want to go onto Instagram.
- 7:22Nicole Laino: Okay, so let's talk about these themes.
- 7:24Nicole Laino: All right, There are some big, strong themes this year.
- 7:28Nicole Laino: First of all, I always like to take a look at the type that the year is.
- 7:31Nicole Laino: This year is an emotional projector.
- 7:33Nicole Laino: Now, not every year is emotional.
- 7:35Nicole Laino: Last year was emotional.
- 7:36Nicole Laino: 2025 was an emotional year technically, but were a manifester last year.
- 7:40Nicole Laino: The world was a manifester.
- 7:42Nicole Laino: Yet last year there was a lot of themes of manifestor action, initiating change, trailblazing.
- 7:49Nicole Laino: That was what last year was about.
- 7:52Nicole Laino: This year is maybe a bit more measured, maybe more guiding the energy of what has already been created versus a lot of that massive change that we saw from last year.
- 8:05Nicole Laino: But we are once again emotional.
- 8:06Nicole Laino: We were emotional last year.
- 8:07Nicole Laino: We had the 3536 channel.
- 8:09Nicole Laino: That was our guiding kind of energy last year.
- 8:12Nicole Laino: This year it's the 4037 channel.
- 8:16Nicole Laino: So that is the channel that connects the emotional center, the solar plexus, to the ego, that little tiny channel in there, the channel of community.
- 8:24Nicole Laino: Now, like I said, not every year is emotional.
- 8:26Nicole Laino: Some are, some aren't.
- 8:28Nicole Laino: When I went back about 10 years, we had about a 50 split between an emotional year and a non emotional year.
- 8:33Nicole Laino: This is an emotional year.
- 8:34Nicole Laino: This is very different emotionally than the emotional center to the throat, which was a manifesting channel we had last year.
- 8:40Nicole Laino: This year this is much more about the channel of community.
- 8:44Nicole Laino: I'm actually going to spend some time talking about this because this is a really big deal.
- 8:48Nicole Laino: As far as I can see it.
- 8:49Nicole Laino: We are in the last year.
- 8:50Nicole Laino: For those of you who are familiar with human design, we are in the last year of the cross of planning.
- 8:57Nicole Laino: So the cross of planning is made up of four gates.
- 8:59Nicole Laino: It's made up of the ninth gate, the 16th gate and the 4037 channel.
- 9:04Nicole Laino: Now that is a plan that we have been under since the year 1610.
- 9:08Nicole Laino: Long time.
- 9:09Nicole Laino: Right?
- 9:10Nicole Laino: It's been a long time.
- 9:12Nicole Laino: So that is what has given us these institutions that we have, the governments that we have, the corporations that we have, the systems we have.
- 9:21Nicole Laino: And as you all maybe have heard, maybe you've listened to my Cross of Phoenix episode that I did here on the show, where you've looked it up in other areas, but no one really knows exactly what will happen, but things will change.
- 9:33Nicole Laino: We're going to go from a very tribal theme of building together, taking care of each other, to this other theme of more individuality.
- 9:43Nicole Laino: Now, I'm not going to go into a whole cross of planning to cross of the Sleeping Phoenix thing here.
- 9:49Nicole Laino: We have episodes on that, and we're actually going to do a workshop on that in February, So be on the lookout for that, where I'm going to go into that in detail with a group, whoever wants to join us for that.
- 9:58Nicole Laino: But the 4037 channel in this context, first of all, that's our big theme for the year.
- 10:04Nicole Laino: Now, this is the channel of community.
- 10:06Nicole Laino: It is about bargains.
- 10:08Nicole Laino: It is the thing that says how we take care of each other is through some sort of systematic fashion.
- 10:17Nicole Laino: So it's made up of the 40th gate, which is in the south node for us at the start of the year.
- 10:23Nicole Laino: The 40th gate for fourth line.
- 10:25Nicole Laino: We'll talk about that in just a moment.
- 10:27Nicole Laino: So the 40th gate is the gate of aloneness.
- 10:29Nicole Laino: This is a gate of loving to work.
- 10:31Nicole Laino: Now, these are the nodes.
- 10:33Nicole Laino: So when we have our collective, nodes are going to be these two gates, the 40 and the 37, which make up this channel.
- 10:43Nicole Laino: They're going to shape the way we see and they're going to shape what we see, because that's how the nodes work on the personality side.
- 10:49Nicole Laino: So the eyes of the collective, what they are going to be looking at, what they are going to be looking out into the world.
- 10:55Nicole Laino: And seeing or not seeing, is seeing maybe where these systems are working or where they're not.
- 11:02Nicole Laino: It's a very interesting thing to think about.
- 11:04Nicole Laino: Right.
- 11:04Nicole Laino: We are in the last year, so in 2027 we are going to officially switch almost a year from now.
- 11:09Nicole Laino: I believe it's Valentine's Day of 2027 is when we officially shift over into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix and we close the book on the cross of planning in 400 years of evolution.
- 11:21Nicole Laino: Now, I think it's interesting that the seeing theme for the collective for 2026, the last year, our last hurrah in this world with this theme.
- 11:35Nicole Laino: It's our seeing theme.
- 11:37Nicole Laino: I thought that was very interesting.
- 11:38Nicole Laino: I was really, like, touched by it.
- 11:41Nicole Laino: I saw it and I.
- 11:42Nicole Laino: All I could think of, I mean, so many things flooded in with me.
- 11:46Nicole Laino: But so many questions of.
- 11:48Nicole Laino: I think we're all going to be asked the question, or those of us who are paying attention of does this work anymore?
- 11:57Nicole Laino: And does it have to all come crashing down?
- 12:01Nicole Laino: We're going to be asked certain questions.
- 12:03Nicole Laino: The 37th gate is the gate of loyalty.
- 12:06Nicole Laino: That's what makes up community.
- 12:07Nicole Laino: Hard work and loyalty is what these two gates coming together in the channel of community means.
- 12:12Nicole Laino: So we've built all of this stuff and we have these governments and these systems and these companies and we have Social Security and we have all of this stuff.
- 12:21Nicole Laino: And then the 37th gate is the gate of loyalty and affection.
- 12:25Nicole Laino: This is the emotional side of the bargain.
- 12:28Nicole Laino: This is like the male and the masculine and feminine energies of a connection, of a bargain, of an agreement.
- 12:37Nicole Laino: There is a structure and strategic side of it, and then there is of every agreement, of every relationship, right?
- 12:46Nicole Laino: There's I take care of you materially and then there's I take care of you emotionally and the emotional one.
- 12:52Nicole Laino: So when it's a way of seeing we're looking out into the world and the 37th gate is looking out and saying, what's going on?
- 12:59Nicole Laino: What's going on?
- 13:00Nicole Laino: This isn't working.
- 13:01Nicole Laino: Can't somebody do something about this?
- 13:05Nicole Laino: The 4037 looks to institutions for solutions.
- 13:09Nicole Laino: It doesn't say I will do it.
- 13:11Nicole Laino: It says, what can we build to take care of this for everybody?
- 13:15Nicole Laino: That's how we got here.
- 13:17Nicole Laino: And for the last year, we're going to be looking around the world and we're going to be saying, can't someone do something about all of this?
- 13:24Nicole Laino: Who can do something about all of this?
- 13:28Nicole Laino: So we're going to be asking.
- 13:30Nicole Laino: The 37th gate is going to be asking us the whole time.
- 13:34Nicole Laino: And I think this is very interesting because it's about people.
- 13:38Nicole Laino: Institutions take care of people.
- 13:40Nicole Laino: Systems take care of people.
- 13:42Nicole Laino: Laws are here to take care of people.
- 13:44Nicole Laino: Courts are here to take care of people.
- 13:46Nicole Laino: The government is here to take care of people.
- 13:49Nicole Laino: And the question is going to be, if it's not taking care of the people, does it still work?
- 13:54Nicole Laino: And who does it belong to?
- 13:56Nicole Laino: Does it belong to the people who are running the government or does it belong to us?
- 14:00Nicole Laino: That's what we're going to be looking at this year.
- 14:03Nicole Laino: And we're going to be asking ourselves.
- 14:06Nicole Laino: And when I saw this, I just, I'm getting emotional now talking about it because it's going to say, do you care enough?
- 14:14Nicole Laino: Is what 37 is going to be asking you when you look out and you watch the news and you see what's going on, it's going to be saying, do you care enough to do something about it, to fix it, to help?
- 14:28Nicole Laino: 40 says, Will you work hard enough?
- 14:31Nicole Laino: Will you do the work?
- 14:32Nicole Laino: 37 says, do you care enough?
- 14:35Nicole Laino: And as we are closing the book on the cross of planning, yes, this background frequency, this frequency of caring, of taking care of each other, of building things to take care of each other, that cycle is ending.
- 14:51Nicole Laino: We've built it all.
- 14:52Nicole Laino: Christina and I talk on the transit episode a lot about how you can't change the transits and the frequencies.
- 15:00Nicole Laino: And sometimes it gets really emotional, and sometimes things get really overwhelming.
- 15:04Nicole Laino: And sometimes things feel a certain way that are very uncomfortable.
- 15:07Nicole Laino: But if you use the moment that you're given that the energy is moving you into, if you use it to see what you're meant to see, to feel what you're meant to feel, to work through what you are meant to work through, then you will come out on the other side of it better.
- 15:25Nicole Laino: I can't help sitting here looking at this chart that I ran for the year and thinking about how we are one year away from changing the cycle.
- 15:34Nicole Laino: To think that we all aren't being given this one last chance to say, what do we want to save here?
- 15:42Nicole Laino: That we all still matter, that as people, that's kind of all that matters.
- 15:48Nicole Laino: Yes, we are going into this individual age which, if you talk to traditional human design people, they will say that, you know, like, no one will care about each other anymore.
- 16:00Nicole Laino: Because that background frequency was what was making us care.
- 16:03Nicole Laino: I don't believe that.
- 16:05Nicole Laino: I think it was maybe holding some of that up in the harder times.
- 16:11Nicole Laino: But I think that we have an option.
- 16:12Nicole Laino: I think that we have an opportunity.
- 16:14Nicole Laino: I think that we as people always have choice to say, I choose to care, I choose to do the right thing, that maybe there's a new system that can come out of this and we can dream that up now.
- 16:27Nicole Laino: And that system might look very different, less institutionalized.
- 16:31Nicole Laino: I have a whole thought about how we should be thinking about government with AI coming.
- 16:36Nicole Laino: But that's a whole other episode.
- 16:39Nicole Laino: But the 37th gate, it shows up twice in the chart as well for this year.
- 16:43Nicole Laino: There's more repeating gates in this year's chart than I've ever seen before.
- 16:49Nicole Laino: So the 37th gate shows up twice, and the 41st gate shows up four times.
- 16:55Nicole Laino: I have never seen a gate show up four times.
- 16:57Nicole Laino: And I went back over 10 years and I couldn't find a gate repeat that Many times we get doubles.
- 17:03Nicole Laino: We get a repeating gate here.
- 17:05Nicole Laino: Sure.
- 17:05Nicole Laino: But four times, That's a lot.
- 17:07Nicole Laino: And we'll get to it in just a second.
- 17:09Nicole Laino: I want to talk about the lines, and I want to talk about the two different ways that the 37th gate shows up and what the actual line theme is for the 37th gate and the 40th gate.
- 17:20Nicole Laino: So the 37th gate is in the fourth line.
- 17:22Nicole Laino: I'm going to read to you the definition of the 37th gate in the fourth line.
- 17:28Nicole Laino: It is leadership through exemplary behavior.
- 17:33Nicole Laino: Are we going to see whether our leaders have exemplary behavior right now?
- 17:38Nicole Laino: And do you care enough whether they do or not?
- 17:42Nicole Laino: I think that's a really interesting question right now.
- 17:45Nicole Laino: I think that is a question we all need to be asking ourselves, especially if we live here in the United States.
- 17:51Nicole Laino: The 40th gate in the fourth line, the line theme for that is to organize for the purpose of liberation.
- 17:59Nicole Laino: It is the intuitive power of the ego to include only positive forces into an organization.
- 18:07Nicole Laino: Do you see that?
- 18:08Nicole Laino: Will you do something about it?
- 18:10Nicole Laino: If positive forces are not in the organization, we still have some power.
- 18:16Nicole Laino: But do you care enough and will you work hard enough to do something for it?
- 18:20Nicole Laino: Now the moon is also in the 37th gate, only it's in a fifth line.
- 18:26Nicole Laino: And that line theme is natural devotion to the community.
- 18:31Nicole Laino: I think we are being called to look at what we mean to each other.
- 18:35Nicole Laino: What does community really mean?
- 18:38Nicole Laino: What does loyalty really mean?
- 18:40Nicole Laino: And who are we loyal to?
- 18:43Nicole Laino: The 3740.
- 18:44Nicole Laino: It teaches us nothing if not how to be in connection with each other.
- 18:49Nicole Laino: And to be fair, it's.
- 18:51Nicole Laino: It is a bargain.
- 18:51Nicole Laino: That is what it's always been about.
- 18:53Nicole Laino: I take care of you take care of me.
- 18:56Nicole Laino: As long as that stays in good standing, we're each holding up our ends of the bargain, then we're good.
- 19:03Nicole Laino: The minute we step out, it all falls apart.
- 19:05Nicole Laino: How do we treat people?
- 19:07Nicole Laino: Do we take care of people?
- 19:09Nicole Laino: That is what I think we are going to be seeing and having to ask ourselves and having to answer for.
- 19:15Nicole Laino: Now, let's get into that 41st gate.
- 19:18Nicole Laino: So the 41st gate.
- 19:19Nicole Laino: I'm going to pull up my chart to look at it.
- 19:21Nicole Laino: So the 41st gate.
- 19:22Nicole Laino: The sun is in 41, Mercury is in 41.
- 19:26Nicole Laino: So the communication, what we are talking about, what we are speaking about, Venus, our values and our relationships, as well as Pluto, all in the 41st gate.
- 19:38Nicole Laino: Okay?
- 19:39Nicole Laino: The 41st gate is the gate of hope.
- 19:41Nicole Laino: It is a gate of.
- 19:42Nicole Laino: It's called the Gate of Contraction.
- 19:44Nicole Laino: What this is really about is that the 41st gate is that moment before we take off and go after something.
- 19:53Nicole Laino: It is about limitations.
- 19:55Nicole Laino: It is about having hope and desire in order to overcome restrictions and limitations.
- 20:02Nicole Laino: It's like this is the pressure cooker.
- 20:05Nicole Laino: The 41st gate is like all the pressure builds in the pot until we get so much pressure and that we have enough to take off with.
- 20:13Nicole Laino: That is what 41 is the fuel for something new.
- 20:16Nicole Laino: It's the gun going off.
- 20:18Nicole Laino: It is the actual bullet.
- 20:21Nicole Laino: So the 41st gate, of course we have it in the first line because that is always what the sun is on the start of the year.
- 20:27Nicole Laino: So what we get there is reasonableness.
- 20:29Nicole Laino: Only this year it is in detriment.
- 20:32Nicole Laino: It is locked into.
- 20:33Nicole Laino: So we might see a little bit more of the not so nice side of the 41st gate, which is more about hot headedness.
- 20:40Nicole Laino: I'll give you the line theme of this.
- 20:42Nicole Laino: The hot headed urge to release feelings while at the same time being entirely convinced of one's own capabilities leading to overexertion.
- 20:52Nicole Laino: A hot headed urge to release feelings.
- 20:55Nicole Laino: The light is to be reasonable.
- 20:57Nicole Laino: The light is to be cool headed.
- 20:59Nicole Laino: So I think it's interesting to think that we're going into a moment where we might be battling with hot headedness.
- 21:06Nicole Laino: We might be battling with that uncomfortable pressure and not able to control our feelings and maybe doing things that feel half baked or unreasonable.
- 21:18Nicole Laino: Right.
- 21:19Nicole Laino: I think it's also fair to say like without the hopes and dreams, there's almost no desire to do anything.
- 21:25Nicole Laino: So the 41st gate in.
- 21:28Nicole Laino: It's like when I have clients that have the 41st gate and they're in the shadow of it.
- 21:32Nicole Laino: What we see is, we see just this inability to move.
- 21:37Nicole Laino: Sometimes it's just the fantasizing and living in their head and not taking any action from it.
- 21:43Nicole Laino: Sitting idly by while things happen, while life passes you by.
- 21:48Nicole Laino: We're going to be facing that, we're going to be looking at that.
- 21:51Nicole Laino: Mercury is also in this gate.
- 21:53Nicole Laino: So you might find that we might be a voice of hope or we might be a voice of not so much of maybe too much caution or too much reactivity.
- 22:02Nicole Laino: Where we are maybe not so careful with our words, where we say things that we don't mean.
- 22:08Nicole Laino: We're not following through with what is really on our heart to do.
- 22:12Nicole Laino: Now Venus is in the 41st gate in the fourth line.
- 22:15Nicole Laino: This one I thought was interesting.
- 22:17Nicole Laino: Also kind of being held in detriment in the fourth line.
- 22:22Nicole Laino: The 41st gate can sometimes Swing into the shadow more, holding onto the feelings to prevent correction.
- 22:29Nicole Laino: Yeah, so this is where we don't do enough to overcome our limitations.
- 22:35Nicole Laino: In a good expression for this one.
- 22:38Nicole Laino: We are able to adapt and we are able to overcome whatever.
- 22:43Nicole Laino: Because this is all about, like, when you want it bad enough, it's almost like the obstacles disappear.
- 22:49Nicole Laino: You care enough, you want it so bad, you have such a desire for it that takes care of everything else.
- 22:57Nicole Laino: And then we come down to the 41st gate in the second line and that is the careless display of feelings for temporary advantage or the recognition of others.
- 23:09Nicole Laino: The careless display of feelings for temporary advantage.
- 23:13Nicole Laino: Performative.
- 23:14Nicole Laino: But the light of this, the good side, what we want to see more of, and this is in Pluto, this is where Pluto is.
- 23:22Nicole Laino: So this is kind of how we transform ourselves through cautious pragmatism and philanthropy.
- 23:29Nicole Laino: It's about caring for others, putting yourself out there selflessly about doing what matters right, just because it matters.
- 23:38Nicole Laino: So there are so many themes that go on in this chart this year.
- 23:41Nicole Laino: It is jam packed with value.
- 23:45Nicole Laino: It always gives us a window into what's going on in the world.
- 23:49Nicole Laino: But this year, these overarching themes of community, taking care of each other, not losing hope, not sitting on our laurels, waiting for somebody else to fix something, but really looking out in the world and seeing.
- 24:03Nicole Laino: I think that the blinders are going to be lifted off of our eyes about the way that we treat each other and about what really matters.
- 24:10Nicole Laino: And we're going to be asked, do we care enough?
- 24:12Nicole Laino: And I hope we pass that test.
- 24:14Nicole Laino: I hope we end up caring enough and we do something about the things that are happening.
- 24:18Nicole Laino: Those are my opinions, but that is what we see in the chart.
- 24:22Nicole Laino: Those are themes.
- 24:23Nicole Laino: Regardless of what my opinion is that I think we are being challenged to say, what will we do?
- 24:28Nicole Laino: Uranus is in the eighth gate, which is about contribution.
- 24:32Nicole Laino: That is about doing what you feel is needed.
- 24:36Nicole Laino: There's a bit of it for others, but there is.
- 24:38Nicole Laino: It's almost like you show up and you say, like I'm.
- 24:41Nicole Laino: The eighth Gate is contribution.
- 24:44Nicole Laino: But it isn't about giving.
- 24:45Nicole Laino: It is about giving a chance.
- 24:47Nicole Laino: It's about giving a voice, lending your voice to something that matters and allowing that to be just what it is a reflection of how you feel and of who you are and of what you believe.
- 24:58Nicole Laino: It's a reflection of your identity.
- 25:01Nicole Laino: So I think we are all going to be, you know, where we might see innovation, we might see change.
- 25:06Nicole Laino: Maybe there's a new way that we're going to be getting our message out there.
- 25:10Nicole Laino: Maybe there's a new way that we're going to be contributing.
- 25:13Nicole Laino: We might see changes in that.
- 25:16Nicole Laino: And the 36th gate has been hanging out in the gate of crisis for quite some time.
- 25:22Nicole Laino: It is still there.
- 25:22Nicole Laino: It is in the sixth line as of this chart reading.
- 25:26Nicole Laino: And the 36th gate in the sixth line.
- 25:29Nicole Laino: This is about justice.
- 25:31Nicole Laino: It is the knowledge that justice will triumph.
- 25:34Nicole Laino: This is in our Saturn.
- 25:36Nicole Laino: So this is where we are being asked to find some discipline, fight a challenge.
- 25:42Nicole Laino: That overcoming crisis is the knowledge that justice will triumph.
- 25:46Nicole Laino: I think that's very interesting that is the particular line theme for this.
- 25:51Nicole Laino: It is the possibility to master crisis by maintaining a correct attitude.
- 25:56Nicole Laino: We are in crisis right now.
- 25:58Nicole Laino: I think that a lot of people feel that way.
- 26:00Nicole Laino: But our ability to master it, you know, what 36 teaches us is this is an emotional gate and the 36th gate, and.
- 26:06Nicole Laino: And that emotionality, it has to be waited out for clarity before taking action.
- 26:13Nicole Laino: It needs clarity.
- 26:15Nicole Laino: And in this particular space, it's asking us to be disciplined and maybe to seek justice.
- 26:20Nicole Laino: The last one I'll mention.
- 26:22Nicole Laino: I've mentioned this several times in the Transit episodes, but I'm going to mention it again because I need to.
- 26:28Nicole Laino: The 25th gate is where Neptune is still.
- 26:33Nicole Laino: This is the gate of innocence.
- 26:36Nicole Laino: This is the gate of love, of universal love.
- 26:40Nicole Laino: We are all one.
- 26:41Nicole Laino: This is also the gate that says this is like an existential gate.
- 26:45Nicole Laino: And it's about seeing what is and not just what could be.
- 26:50Nicole Laino: Can we see what is and can we see what we are?
- 26:54Nicole Laino: Because this is an identity gate of how we identify spiritually and how we connect to the whole collective.
- 27:01Nicole Laino: And I think we are all being asked right now to maybe see how we are all connected and to see how when we hurt one person, our pain, my pain, hurts somebody else.
- 27:14Nicole Laino: What the 25th gate teaches us is that if we do our work on ourselves, if we work through our wounds, that we don't just heal ourselves, we heal the collective.
- 27:25Nicole Laino: Because there is a collective wound.
- 27:26Nicole Laino: There is.
- 27:27Nicole Laino: There is a collective consciousness.
- 27:29Nicole Laino: And if we have unseen, unfelt things, it doesn't just hurt us, it hurts other people who are connected to us.
- 27:35Nicole Laino: It hurts everything on Earth because that collective consciousness is wounded.
- 27:40Nicole Laino: And every time we heal a wound, we heal a little piece of that.
- 27:43Nicole Laino: We heal a little piece of the whole.
- 27:46Nicole Laino: So I think this is in Neptune.
- 27:48Nicole Laino: So this is an area where the veil needs to be lifted.
- 27:51Nicole Laino: This is where we might have something that feels like a blind spot.
- 27:55Nicole Laino: So where do you have a wound?
- 27:56Nicole Laino: Maybe that.
- 27:57Nicole Laino: Where do we have a collective wound that needs to heal?
- 28:01Nicole Laino: If you think about these societal wounds and issues that particular countries or aspects of the world have been fighting over and going through for eons, that if you think about them, is there hope to heal them?
- 28:19Nicole Laino: I think we're being asked, when I think of that, and I'm gonna, I will project a little bit here, the 25th gate, when I think about it in that context, I think about the wars, I think about racism, I think about all of these things that nobody wants to talk about, these battles between.
- 28:35Nicole Laino: You know, we have the war in Gaza going on right now.
- 28:38Nicole Laino: We have ice on the streets here in the United States.
- 28:42Nicole Laino: We have all of these things going on.
- 28:44Nicole Laino: We had racism in the United States, which has been a contentious issue and a plague on this country forever.
- 28:51Nicole Laino: And I'm not speaking very articulately about it here because I'm coming off the cuff.
- 28:55Nicole Laino: But the 25th gate, when I see that, it's like these are the collective wounds and Neptune is where we need to maybe shine a light into the dark.
- 29:04Nicole Laino: These are things we don't like to talk about, we don't like to confront them.
- 29:07Nicole Laino: And when we do it from a place of 36.
- 29:10Nicole Laino: We do it from a place of emotionality, not from clarity.
- 29:14Nicole Laino: And we lash out at each other because it's just this constant back and forth of triggering that triggers my unfelt pain.
- 29:23Nicole Laino: So now I'm going to throw it back at you.
- 29:25Nicole Laino: This is what I see on social media now.
- 29:27Nicole Laino: I just see a bunch of people throwing their pain back and forth.
- 29:32Nicole Laino: And I'm not faulting anybody for it.
- 29:34Nicole Laino: It's very difficult because you get swept up in it, because nobody knows what to do with all of this stuff.
- 29:40Nicole Laino: But I just see a bunch of unfelt pain and anger and a lot of hurt being ping ponged back and forth.
- 29:47Nicole Laino: And it's awful.
- 29:48Nicole Laino: And I think of this gate all the time when I see that, because it's just all of our collective wound showing up in us as individuals through our individual pain.
- 29:59Nicole Laino: My hope is that this 25th gate has been working its way through us for like the last year.
- 30:05Nicole Laino: My hope is that more people do the work like we do with deconditioning and doing the healing work.
- 30:12Nicole Laino: And that's why if you are an energy worker, if you are somebody who helps people with their trauma, it's not necessarily a modality or an industry that gets a lot of respect in the more wider circles.
- 30:26Nicole Laino: But I encourage you that if you do that work, I truly believe your work is needed now more than ever because there are a lot of people walking around in such pain and it isn't just hurting them as individuals, it's hurting all of us.
- 30:41Nicole Laino: And I feel like we are seeing that now.
- 30:43Nicole Laino: I'm going to leave this here and I'm just going to say I'm sorry.
- 30:46Nicole Laino: I know that this was not the most uplifting episode, but remember, this is the collective thing.
- 30:51Nicole Laino: You have your own story within this.
- 30:53Nicole Laino: You have your own chart, you have your own year, you have your own things.
- 30:57Nicole Laino: Life still goes on.
- 30:58Nicole Laino: No matter what happens, life still goes on.
- 31:01Nicole Laino: We are still living our lives and you will still be able to grow and prosper and succeed.
- 31:08Nicole Laino: The big thing is just that this might be a year of.
- 31:12Nicole Laino: There might be some rockiness, but there's always potential if we use it.
- 31:16Nicole Laino: So I encourage everybody to do the best that you can with what we have right now.
- 31:23Nicole Laino: I think all of our voices are needed.
- 31:26Nicole Laino: I think all of our action is needed.
- 31:28Nicole Laino: And if you're not somebody who shouts on social media, that does not mean that you are not part of this.
- 31:34Nicole Laino: There are other ways to get involved and do the things that are on your heart that feel right and aligned for you.
- 31:41Nicole Laino: So I'm going to leave this one here.
