Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
0:25
I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:27
Happy New Year.
0:29
It is the first day of 2025.
0:32
Well, not as we're recording this, of course, but you listening.
0:35
It is a brand new year.
0:36
It is 2025.
0:38
I am here with my dear friend, Christina Luna.
0:41
I am so grateful to have you here for our kickoff of 2025, our
0:45
first transit episode of 2025.
0:48
How are you doing, my friend?
0:50
I am so grateful to be here.
0:53
I am really, really excited about the year ahead.
0:56
I've been anticipating some of the changes that will happen in 2025,
1:01
and it feels really, really good to be so dialed in with you on this.
1:06
And I feel very ready and eyes wide open and prepared to step into this new year,
1:12
which I know that sounds like I'm calling the year out, but I believe the last few
1:17
years have prepared all of us in a very specific way for some of the changes that
1:21
are about to occur and I'm here for it.
1:24
So are you, so you're looking at the whole year right now, you're
1:27
kind of like getting, are you getting like a big picture view
1:32
of 2025 as you're coming into it?
1:34
As well as we're going to, you know, we're obviously going to talk about
1:36
January, but are you looking at the year as a whole and what's coming?
1:40
Hmm?
1:43
actually kind of a trick question.
1:44
I usually will do readings for an entire year.
1:48
I record a lot of readings in the fall quarter and leading up to the first of
1:53
the year, Because of the changes that are going to happen this year, I was
1:56
specifically guided to only get into specifics for each quarter at a time.
2:03
So I can tell you I have a lot of information about the first quarter,
2:07
and we are going to be so fundamentally changed by the first quarter that
2:12
it doesn't make sense for me to talk about the entire year at large.
2:16
What I do know is there will be some giant background moving parts because
2:21
the outer planets will be changing signs.
2:24
We have a lot of big planets changing signs.
2:27
And so part of the reason why we're taking this one chunk at a time,
2:31
one quarter at a time, one month at a time, honestly the best Recipe
2:37
is to take this one day at a time.
2:40
Wow.
2:41
So even recording a whole month in advance, it feels a little chunky,
2:45
but I will say best way to get the most out of this year, especially with
2:50
the large changes that are happening is to stay as present as possible.
2:55
That being said, yeah.
2:59
That's more important than ever because of the big changes that are
3:02
going to be taking place this year.
3:04
So when you're talking about the bigger, outer planets, that when
3:08
they're changing signs, what we're really talking about there is we're
3:11
talking more collective changes, right?
3:13
That that's normally some more, not necessarily the individual, at
3:18
least in human design, that's how we look at it, that that becomes less
3:21
of an individual theme, although of course you're part of it.
3:24
But.
3:25
They're more of the things that are affecting all of us that are
3:28
going to be more about the stuff that you're just seeing happen.
3:33
These greater themes of change in that particular way.
3:37
Is that how you look at it with those changes or you look at it differently?
3:40
Yeah, for sure.
3:42
I do, you can observe it in the collective, for sure.
3:46
But I still feel every single person, the collective is a part of them.
3:50
And so for instance, I can say that from 2012 to 2025, there has been something
3:59
I've personally been working on.
4:01
It's a long chapter of my life.
4:03
I have been building my faith about something and trusting
4:08
my faith in something.
4:10
And it's very specific to me.
4:11
I have the planet Neptune in my third house.
4:16
And so, for the last number of years, since 2012, there's been something going
4:20
on when it comes to my relationship with the way my mind works, and my
4:24
intellect, and my intuition, and I've been developing my faith in the
4:28
way my mind works ever since then.
4:31
And so, there's something really personal that's been going on for me.
4:34
While this outer planet Neptune has been transiting Pisces in my third house.
4:39
Now, that's the third house is a personal house So, I mean you
4:42
can get really Everyone has kind of their own recipe for this.
4:46
Some people have really outer world charts and some people have really internal
4:51
personal charts and So these chapters and these movements are gonna impact
4:57
all of us in a very specific way So Some of us will just, we're primarily going
5:03
to see it happen in the outside world and some it'll be on the inside world.
5:06
So I don't think that there's like a blanket statement we can make about it.
5:10
No, and thank you for that nuance, because that's always true.
5:13
It's always, well, what's your chart, and how does it interact?
5:16
And, and how do you interact with this thing that's changing?
5:19
With this thing that we're all going to experience with this cosmic shift
5:23
that we're going to be experiencing.
5:25
Um, as you're looking at the first quarter, are there big bang things
5:30
that you are, , what's the one thing that you're kind of, that Puttin
5:33
your finger on where you're saying like, this is gonna be a big deal.
5:38
right at the lunar new year, that's when we, the, we move kind
5:42
of into the year of the snake.
5:44
Mm hmm.
5:45
Really, I would love to say that there's like one day you should circle.
5:50
There are several days you should circle, but I think if I was going
5:53
to say like, what's the big takeaway?
5:55
No, that.
5:57
What we're initiating in January, what we're tangibly intending
6:02
to initiate in January, it's going to be tested in February.
6:07
And the way we're going to feel the test is by our vibration or
6:11
our frequency or the way we feel.
6:13
So it'll be tested.
6:15
Does this steel feel authentic to me?
6:18
Does the way that this is manifesting feel like what I want to be
6:23
experiencing for the next 20 years?
6:25
There's something, okay.
6:26
I, a long time ago, I went through something called the Dickens
6:29
process in Tony Robbins world.
6:32
I don't know if any, if, if any listeners have been in Tony Robbins world, he does
6:35
something called the Dickens process.
6:37
And he pretty much has you do this process where you take
6:40
some kind of limiting belief.
6:41
And you ask yourself, how will this impact my life if I
6:44
believe this for another year?
6:46
How will it impact my life if I believe it for another five years?
6:49
And how will it impact my life if I believe it another 20 years?
6:53
So you're pretty much taking something and you're letting yourself do an
6:56
emotional experience through the longevity of the manifestation of that belief.
7:03
What will it, what kind of experiences will attract me?
7:05
How will it affect my children?
7:07
How will it affect my finances?
7:08
And you're trying to get as.
7:10
painful in your process as possible so you can get leverage on yourself to change it
7:16
Mm hmm.
7:17
because pain is leverage.
7:18
So I really see this quarter feeling like a mini Dickens process or
7:26
maybe not a mini Dickens process.
7:27
It's a long elongated over the course of three months Dickens process where
7:33
The first month of January is going to be, all right, let's try this on.
7:37
Can I do this for a month?
7:39
Mm hmm.
7:39
And I, how does it feel?
7:41
Can I, can I really put this persona, this frequency, these rituals,
7:45
routines, this manifestation, this identity, can I put this on for a
7:48
whole month and how does it feel?
7:51
Then we're going to go into February and we're going to be like, all right,
7:54
what if I put this on for, a whole year.
7:57
Is this sustainable?
7:58
Does this feel like the people I want to hang out with, the
8:01
vibe I want, all the things.
8:02
So always Aquarius time is a testing time because It's a fixed sign.
8:06
So we have cardinal signs that initiate, we have fixed signs that
8:10
test, and then we have mutable signs that give us the results or the
8:14
outcome or the information, basically.
8:17
So we have this moment in February where, and it's not an ordinary January
8:23
and an ordinary February because of the outer planets changing signs, we're
8:27
actually kind of in this moment where we're choosing what kind of bed we want
8:31
to sleep in for the next long cycle.
8:34
So, We've, we've been prepared.
8:37
We've cleared out dependencies.
8:39
We've cleaned out people pleasing tendencies.
8:42
We've, we've like become more aware of who we are authentically.
8:47
We've done all of this work.
8:48
We've all been prepared properly, so we don't need to worry that
8:51
we're not going to fail this test.
8:53
All we got to do is show up, feel how it feels, make decisions in real time,
8:57
and trust that those decisions will realign us, put us in the vibration
9:01
we're choosing to have, and then continue the trajectory in that direction.
9:06
With the ability to pivot at any moment if it doesn't feel right,
9:10
a time for that assessment.
9:12
It's a time for, February is going to be a time to really be looking at what
9:16
you've created and not just accepting it
9:18
and really asking yourself, is this what I want to commit to long term?
9:23
That is correct because we've got some Saturn whenever a planet is crossing
9:30
Pluto or Saturn there are these moments Pluto when a planet crosses Pluto That's
9:34
when we officially cut something out.
9:37
We officially end something we draw some kind of line.
9:39
There's a power exchange that happens whenever planets cross Saturn, we make a
9:46
commitment, and whenever planets cross the North Node, we align ourselves with the
9:52
purpose, mission, legacy, which is kind of an insatiable desire, but it, it, it's
9:58
like the carrot on the stick that we can never quite get, but it aligns us in a
10:01
direction, and so we have a lot of energy in this first quarter that's aspecting it.
10:08
Both the thing that cuts things off and draws lines, the thing that causes us to
10:12
step up and commit, and the thing that aligns us to our mission and purpose.
10:17
And the results that we get in Pisces season, which happen at the end of
10:22
February and into March, those results are then going to be tied up in a bow, given
10:29
to Neptune, and then Neptune is going to drop into Aries and birth things tangibly.
10:36
actualize certain things in our life.
10:40
And so this is, from my perspective, this is one of the most important
10:45
times we've been living in because of how much power we have to set
10:49
the template for our experience.
10:53
Well, and that's kind of what the beginning of the year is about, too.
10:57
It's sort of, it's setting that tone.
11:00
But, but you're saying that this time, because of these aspects, we're going
11:05
to be cutting something off, we're going to be making a new commitment, and we're
11:08
going to be realigning that this is, The aspects are creating an even bigger impact
11:14
there or potentially if we choose to really be aware and use this time wisely
11:20
and with our eyes open and our hearts open to actually, because you do have
11:24
to allow the thing to be cut out, right?
11:27
You do have to allow yourself to commit.
11:30
You do have to, you know, Take the ride of the energy and rather than fight it or dig
11:36
your heels in and say, I'm not changing, which I think a lot of people can do.
11:41
Yeah.
11:41
And you know, there are some things that are really valuable that
11:44
we will want to double down on.
11:46
There are some things that will be tested and we'll say, no,
11:49
this stands the test of change.
11:51
All of these things in my life can change, but this thing I'm
11:54
going to double down on it.
11:55
I'm, I'm recommitting.
11:57
Like this works for me, it's who I am, and I'm, I'm here for this.
12:01
So there, it's not just that all these things need to be abandoned.
12:05
This could be a time of really deeply strengthening our faith in
12:08
our, ourselves, our character, our identity, things that we've earned.
12:14
through very diligent, hard work ever since 2008 while Pluto
12:19
was moving through Capricorn.
12:20
You know, everyone wants to hate on Capricorn, but let me tell
12:23
you, Capricorn creates masters.
12:26
I'm learning a lot about Capricorn right now, actually,
12:28
and we're in Capricorn season.
12:30
Capricorn is a, an energy that allows us to see what it is we
12:38
truly master in this life so that we can leave an impact and a legacy.
12:43
How will the earth know that we were here is what Haberkorn answers.
12:50
And from a human design, perspective, when it comes to Capricorn, Capricorn
12:55
largely has almost all of it is spent in the root center and the root center.
13:01
So January kicks off where, where like we go through all of the gates and the
13:04
root center and the root center is a theme of fuel, pressure, and or stress.
13:11
So anything could be pressure and stress, or it can be fuel.
13:16
your choice, how you use that energy.
13:19
And there's very much a lesson of everything with the root center.
13:24
Like when I look, it's not every sign is like this.
13:26
Some signs have more things in it, you know, where they're really,
13:30
Taurus is very centered around the throat center activation and.
13:34
You know, manifestation and putting things out in the world,
13:37
really making them happen.
13:38
Capricorn is very root energy, which is very much about like,
13:42
it is the fuel to start things.
13:44
It is the fuel to kick something off.
13:46
It is the pressure that builds so that a creative evolution can happen.
13:53
That without that pressure, without it feeling uncomfortable at
13:57
times, but the key is to not push.
13:59
The key is to.
14:01
To relax into it as best , as you can, to trust, to learn that the fuel
14:05
will be there if you learn to respect and surrender to divine timing and
14:12
to allow it to be a creative fertile ground rather than something that where
14:18
you're pushing into the shadows of it.
14:19
So I sort of feel that way.
14:21
I think people hate on Capricorn because maybe they feel more of that stress.
14:25
They feel more of that pressure because it does want you to be better.
14:29
It does want you to evolve.
14:30
That's what the Root Center does.
14:32
The Root Center is the center of evolution and change.
14:36
And it says, we can't stay here for long.
14:38
There's something better out there for us.
14:41
So it dares to dream.
14:43
It dares to kind of push you to something better.
14:46
Like, I feel that.
14:47
Like, I That's the energy that challenges me the most.
14:52
That is the energy and for me having an open route just from that human
14:57
design perspective, one of my greatest lessons has been to not give in to
15:01
the pressure of the outside world.
15:04
And can I sit in it and experience it and feel it and trust that
15:10
I can, that something better is coming if I just Respect the timing.
15:16
If I just, can I chill in the moment rather than push through that moment?
15:20
And the more I do that, the more the moments come and the better they are.
15:26
And the creative idea comes.
15:28
And that's one of the greatest lessons for me because that's, that's my chart.
15:33
That's one of my lessons to learn in this life is that I don't
15:36
get moved by the outside world.
15:37
It has to come from something different.
15:41
But As we're talking about faith, as we're talking about trust, I just want to get
15:46
a little update on your bliss experiment because I'm going to ask you about this
15:49
every month because I'm fascinated by this whole process that you're under.
15:53
Um, and if you guys haven't listened to the episode, it was our November
15:57
episode, I believe, that you unveiled the bliss experiment and you talked
16:02
to us and kind of gave us this, this little crash course in what you're
16:05
doing, which is really figuring out.
16:08
Or experiencing and experimenting with, you know, can we not get
16:13
swept up in the waves of everything?
16:14
Can we, do we have the ability to be above or below them if, if we choose?
16:21
So how is it going?
16:22
Are you in bliss?
16:25
I am actually and I can say that you know, I I think I was feeling a little So, uh,
16:33
I wasn't feeling, I was not feeling a little apprehensive about talking about
16:36
it when we spoke in January, in November.
16:38
Uh, I had just started this experience that was triggered by a new relationship.
16:44
And so, new relationship, new experiences, you know, there was all this new energy,
16:49
new hormones, all of this beautiful, so it's easy to talk about bliss when
16:54
everything is beautiful and amazing.
16:56
And the context was, When we're in a state where there's so much novelty
17:01
and new and change and openness and things you're not expecting, you sort
17:06
of can surf above the collective cycles.
17:10
Like, it felt as though the collective cycles were not impacting me the same
17:15
way because my energy was so high.
17:17
And when you have high energy, it sort of takes you out of the cultural field.
17:22
And we talked about how human design and astrology.
17:25
really does give you a narrative for what the cultural field at a
17:30
more, um, baseline neutral energy state, what they are experiencing.
17:36
Because when you're at a baseline neutral energy state, you're going
17:39
to be influenced by things that are Powerful, you're gonna be influenced
17:44
by other people's intentions.
17:46
You're gonna be influenced by the mood of a room, by the
17:49
astrological weather patterns, etc.
17:52
Gates of initiation, all these things, right?
17:54
So, neutrality is kind of the base level state that most of us stay in.
18:00
We, we try to stay in neutral so that we don't drop below neutral and get
18:03
like Completely pummeled by pain.
18:06
But I also talked about in that month that, that's another avenue that
18:10
can take you out of the collective.
18:12
That pain, really intense moments of trauma or pain, can
18:17
drop you below the collective.
18:19
And then the cycles of the collective Don't impact you either
18:22
because your energy is so low.
18:24
You don't even have enough energy to move with those cycles of the cultural field.
18:28
So I was fortunate enough to be, you know, skating very high on all the
18:34
novelty and newness of my relationship.
18:36
And when we checked in for the December report, Uh, you, you asked
18:40
me, is this still going strong?
18:41
And I said, absolutely.
18:43
Even though November was filled with challenges of intimacy and tests and
18:47
fear, and a lot of people I spoke to were navigating, you know, bouts of insecurity.
18:53
I mean, Scorpio season is a challenging season for insecurity.
18:57
And especially if you're Intimate relationship, you're going to have
19:01
all those intimacy triggers and attachment triggers, um, impacted.
19:06
However, one of the recipes I've discovered through that month was,
19:10
um, If I can remain securely seated within the present moment, if I can
19:18
be secure with myself and continue to keep my heart open and allow the flow
19:23
of authentic emotion to continuously be accessible to me without resistance.
19:29
Again, I noticed I stayed in a high state of bliss and that did require
19:33
some uncomfortable conversations that I was, you know, not really wanting
19:38
to have a new relationship, but I did it anyway because committed to being
19:43
authentic and bold in the moment, right?
19:45
So, then we get into Sagittarius season and, Um, you know, now you're
19:50
asking me, well, how is that bliss?
19:52
And Sagittarius season is a moment where you get new epiphanies.
19:56
You, you understand new truths or guiding principles.
19:59
And, I will tell you, I actually experienced a very, family tragedy.
20:06
, it was not expected.
20:07
It came out of nowhere.
20:08
It was the kind of thing that can shake you all the way.
20:11
It did.
20:11
It shook me to my knees.
20:13
I was like, there was a moment where all the wind was taken out
20:16
and I, who, I didn't even know what day of the week it was.
20:19
Right.
20:20
So.
20:21
The sad thing is, sometimes we don't really know what our guiding principles
20:25
are until they're truly tested.
20:28
It's true that you can be all kumbaya and happy when you have a new relationship
20:33
and everything is bliss, right?
20:35
But what is the internal state of bliss?
20:38
What's, Deeply true in our bones and in our soul state when
20:43
something really shakes you That could drop you to the bottom
20:47
Yeah.
20:48
and I feel as tragic as it was I feel very fortunate that I had that
20:53
experience because it gave me a level of confidence To know that bliss is real
21:00
even in those times The bliss of the present moment, even in the pain, in
21:06
witnessing pain and others, in people that you never want to see in pain.
21:11
You, there's, there's a, I could start crying about it now.
21:15
There's a beauty in remaining open and present to the novelty of even
21:21
pain, of something completely against everything we've wanted or expected or
21:27
hoped for, for ourselves and for others.
21:31
The openness.
21:32
To be with all of that feels like bliss too.
21:37
And I'm very surprised by that.
21:39
I think for a long time I used astrology to try to help me navigate so that these
21:45
types of incidences wouldn't happen.
21:48
Like some part of my ego actually thought that I could Surf well enough that the
21:55
waves would never take me or my loved ones down And that is not the goal what
22:02
I found the you know had access to the astrology before this event We were all
22:07
looking at moment that this event could happen and I was seeing nothing but good
22:12
things I was seeing nothing but evolution.
22:14
I was seeing nothing but introduction to new experiences that I was
22:19
reading as positive and beautiful.
22:21
And so when this thing happened, and it was not what we all thought, and
22:26
that's, have that with my clients a lot.
22:28
I'll be reading for them, and I'll be telling them a story and a metaphor,
22:32
and in their head, they're, listening to the words and the metaphors, and
22:36
they're creating stories about what they think, That's going to be for them.
22:40
And then it ends up not being exactly the circumstance they were expecting it to be.
22:45
But when they listened to the reading again, the energy
22:49
accurately was portrayed.
22:52
And that was true for this incident too.
22:54
The energy was accurately portrayed.
22:57
It's just that the circumstance was unexpected.
23:00
And bliss honestly is present whenever we accept what is,
23:06
even if it's new or unexpected.
23:09
Yeah, and these situations, I think , we can never predict our way out of the
23:15
unpredictable, you know, no, no matter what you're doing, because like you said,
23:19
it's up to interpretation, you know, oh, I'm receiving this in this way right now.
23:23
And it's making me think this, and this is the meaning that I'm attaching to it.
23:26
So I think it's going to mean this.
23:28
The truth is, is that we don't know shit when it comes to that, because
23:31
we have, we're, we're not God.
23:33
But thank you for sharing that because I think that it can be, when we hear
23:37
something like, you know, we call it, we've sort of dubbed it the bliss
23:39
experiment, but , we call it the bliss experiment, you know, it can feel
23:43
like, can I stay in bliss all the time?
23:47
And it's very easy when you're, you know, high on the hog and things are going
23:51
great and everything in life, you know, you're, you're in a new relationship where
23:54
you're just riding the high of bliss.
23:58
Love and being in love and you know, it's the highest vibration there is for
24:02
a reason when you're in it Yeah, I can feel like I'm riding above the clouds.
24:07
This is amazing but , thank you for sharing that here and your experience
24:12
here because I think a lot of people feel well, I'm going through something
24:19
so shitty right now You don't know shit about my stuff You don't know how bad
24:24
it is and I can't be in bliss or I can't experience that because my circumstances
24:32
are dictating I'm in a different place.
24:35
And I think what you're saying is if you're open to the experience
24:39
itself, bliss is always there.
24:42
Yeah.
24:45
uh, part of me pulling myself into doubt and fear, and I fortunately had a bank of
24:54
intimacy built with my new relationship, and I was able to express all of my
24:59
very authentic fears and doubts and worries and pain about the situation.
25:04
And because I've been authentic with him this whole time, We get
25:09
to this place where something truly terrible has happened.
25:12
And he's able to reflect on it and say, you know, reflect back to me, you know,
25:19
Christina, it seems like you're really good at being like a surf teacher, or
25:24
you can read a surf report and in no way does that mean that you control
25:29
the ocean and these waves, we choose the waves that we decide to take and
25:36
they have inherent risk and reward.
25:39
And it's, we can learn to surf waves, but always the risk and
25:43
reward of being alive is there.
25:46
And so it, the beautiful gift that's come from all this is, I feel more deeply
25:52
connected to my family and the experience that , we're having with each other.
25:56
I feel really more deeply connected to the intimacy of someone I can
26:02
myself with, even in pain, which opens up to even more insight and beauty.
26:07
And so the bliss continues when we really have no resistance to the truth
26:16
of who we are and how we really feel.
26:18
Intimacy, honestly, I think bliss and intimacy are linked.
26:23
Well, when you, you know, you're talking about here and what I'm hearing through
26:28
this is that, you know, you're actually aware and you are sitting and being
26:35
present with what is right now and what was at that moment when the pain was at
26:41
its worst, when it was the greatest shock.
26:44
To actually be able to sit in it is the real key to all of this stuff.
26:49
That's how we become.
26:51
Better.
26:52
That's how you can actually take this and your family can become closer and you can
26:57
become a better astrologer and this is changing us and I think that that's kind
27:02
of what we're doing with all of this.
27:03
You just happen to have a huge event that was, you know,
27:09
axis shifting for your family.
27:12
, I think the goal for all of us is to be so present in those moments to just allow
27:17
what is to be there and to feel it and then to allow whatever it is that you
27:23
feel to shift you and change you the way that it's meant to in a constructive way.
27:30
So thank you for sharing that with us.
27:34
. I mean, obviously, More will evolve.
27:38
I think especially this quarter is helping us to really focus on
27:44
the network and the connections.
27:47
I think that the hardiness that I'm experiencing right now is
27:50
due to the fact that I've got really deep, strong connections.
27:53
And the entire, , Aquarian age, if you want to call it that, the age
27:59
that we're entering into is all about the people we're connected
28:02
to, the fabric of our relationships.
28:05
And so, If I could, you know, if I could impart any piece from all this, it would
28:11
say that strength of the fabric of my connections to the people that I love is
28:16
what creates the buoyancy of the bliss.
28:23
And if we could all focus more on whatever needs to happen, whatever authentic
28:27
communication, whatever boldness, whatever novelty needs to happen to strengthen that
28:32
fabric in our lives, that's really what the next three months is asking us to do.
28:38
And now if we're looking at January, one of the things that's jumping out
28:42
at me, and this is both a astrological and a human design thing, because
28:47
they are largely the same thing.
28:48
We just speak about them differently.
28:50
But to me, I'm looking at the nodal shift.
28:53
And that happens on the 11th, right?
28:56
I think is the date that we actually have that crossover.
28:59
The funny thing about human design is we are actually still in the same gate, but
29:03
we're in different lines of that gate.
29:05
So it's really funny.
29:06
It's this gate 25, um, So we don't actually shift the gate until
29:11
later in the month, but that gate straddles, the astrological signs.
29:18
So it shifts over into Pisces.
29:19
So what we're having is, on the 11th of January, we shift into the
29:24
north node, shift to the south.
29:25
So, um, the North Node shifts into Pisces, and the South Node is, goes into Virgo.
29:29
Now, can we talk a little bit about that shift, because that's a big bang thing
29:34
for me, because I don't, we don't change again until mid July of next year, I
29:39
think?
29:39
It's like an, like an 18 month sort of, sort of span.
29:43
So this is big, and this is collective, this is something that we all feel.
29:47
Um, how are you looking at the shift to Pisces in the North Node, and then
29:53
that shift in the South Node to Virgo?
29:55
Ha
29:57
you know, I think that there are no two signs that are more
30:01
different than Aries and Pisces.
30:03
I think Aries and Pisces are so, so, so very different.
30:07
And so the fact that we've completed an entire cycle of the North Node moving,
30:13
because it moves backwards, an entire cycle that began with it moving through
30:17
Pisces all the way through the Zodiac, all the way, evolving us all the way.
30:23
To the singular point of incarnation, which is zero degrees Pisces.
30:31
It's the moment you could, in astrology, that's similar to the moment that
30:36
a baby's body leaves the mother's body and becomes a separate body.
30:42
That is that line.
30:43
And so, we're basically, we've worked for all of these years to understand
30:49
what it means to be an individual.
30:51
So, When it was, when the North Node was moving through Taurus, we
30:53
became more secure with ourselves.
30:56
When it moved through Aries, we became more authentic with ourselves.
31:01
And now with it moving into Pisces, It's like, Good, now you know who
31:08
you are and how you're separate from everything, but I want you to see that
31:11
you are actually a very important piece of this fabric of the community and you
31:16
need, you're going to have experiences that you won't be able to ignore,
31:20
where you don't get to be an island.
31:22
You are a very significant point within the entire fabric of this community, the
31:28
entire fabric of the human consciousness.
31:30
Like Pisces is not even just small community, it's Everything, all that is.
31:35
And so I think when this shifts, there's going to be this little moment where we're
31:39
going to be like, did I make that happen?
31:43
There's gonna be this question, like, wait a minute.
31:46
How is it possible that I'm sitting here in my own little world, in my own
31:50
little island, which is very Virgo.
31:52
Virgo likes to have their own little space with all their perfect
31:55
little picture frames, and all the, everything's ordered exactly the way
31:59
the Virgo likes the way it to be, right?
32:01
I'm an island.
32:02
I can talk a lot about this.
32:03
I'm separate, I'm an island, and you're not in my world.
32:07
I'm a separate little world, right?
32:09
That's where the South Node is going to be.
32:11
So any place in your world where you think you're a separate little world,
32:16
That's going to have an opening, and you're going to start to see
32:20
that other people's dreams, other people's fears, desires, wishes, they
32:25
impact you, and yours impact them.
32:29
There's going to be an energetic understanding, hopefully, that we
32:33
get over the next 18 months that will give us a greater level of
32:38
responsibility and consciousness.
32:40
So, there's, Virgo wants you to be responsible and have
32:46
your kit in order, right?
32:48
But we have our kit in order.
32:50
Why?
32:51
So that we can positively, positively impact and understand
32:56
what's mine and yours and understand that that's impacting,
33:00
that we're impacting each other.
33:02
what we're looking at with the Pisces and Virgo, we're
33:04
looking at polarities, you know,
33:05
they're, they're the opposites of each other.
33:08
So we get Pisces, which is, you know, spiritual and open and connected.
33:15
And Virgo, you know, you, you brought up like, I'm an island.
33:18
I'm a Virgo North Node.
33:20
So, yeah, so, so this will be, I think, will be rather interesting for us, the
33:26
fact that we are literally, the universe is pushing us to stretch ourselves,
33:32
really release some of those boundaries.
33:35
Yeah.
33:36
toxic, unhelpful Virgo traits for us,
33:40
uh, perfectionism and control and
33:43
isolation, separateness.
33:46
and for me, like I'm game, you know, , I'm game.
33:49
Let's see what, what we got.
33:51
I'm going to have eyes wide open for this, but I think it's very interesting
33:55
cause this is like, this will be an 18 month training ground for us.
34:00
And I think what this is doing.
34:02
To me, when I looked at the nodal shift and I saw that this
34:06
was coming, I was like, okay, so this is the theme for this year.
34:10
This is going to be something that is realigning us, like you said earlier when
34:16
we were talking about the north node, and this is going to shift our direction of
34:24
How we're viewing the world, how we view our place in it, and overall, because
34:29
that's, in human design we look at nodes, , and it is about our environment, it is
34:33
about the, the people around us, it is about our place in the world, and then
34:38
our point of view of the world, and how we see it, and what we allow ourselves
34:43
to see, and does that perspective get shaped in a way that is true to us?
34:49
Are we seeing the way we're meant to see, or are we conditioned
34:54
and trying to see things the way that is more convenient for us?
34:58
Or a way that's more in alignment with the conditioning that we grew up with?
35:02
So I think that that's going to be a very significant thing, just shifting
35:06
us at the very start of the year.
35:08
and what you might just feel is that pull to different things.
35:11
I do think that there's going to be, It's much more spiritual.
35:14
Virgo is very tactile and earthy and just grounded in that sense.
35:20
And I think that to me, when I saw that it was, that this was shift was happening,
35:26
we are going to be kind of called to something beyond what we can see.
35:31
Maybe, maybe beyond what we can touch and feel and, or maybe what, We can't touch
35:38
and feel suddenly starts to become what we touch and feel, what is tangible to us.
35:43
And that might just be fun, particularly for people like
35:47
us who are pulled pretty hard.
35:49
We're, we're Virgos with Virgo North moons, North nodes.
35:53
I'm definitely feeling like this will be, it's going to be an interesting year.
35:58
I totally agree.
36:00
Uh, there's a lot more.
36:02
I want to talk more about like the victim, martyr, perpetrator triangle
36:07
when we do our next recording.
36:09
And I think we'll be, we'll be in it.
36:11
Well, the North Node will be in Pisces the next time we record.
36:14
So, but keep an eye out this month just as like a preview.
36:19
If you notice anything in your life where you think that there's
36:23
a victim, you think that there's a perpetrator, Or there's a martyr or a
36:28
desire inside of you to be a martyr.
36:31
If there's any part of that triangle presenting in your circumstances, that's
36:36
going to be a North Node in Pisces lesson for you to become more observatory of.
36:44
And the lesson by the end of these 18 months will, it'll allow us to
36:49
extract ourself from that triangle altogether, because we'll be able to
36:53
see that we, when we decide to buy into that triangle, we become all three
36:57
parts of the triangle automatically.
37:00
And so that is going to be a really interesting thing for us to work
37:03
with in the next 18 months too.
37:07
I wrote it down.
37:08
We're going to talk about it for the February.
37:10
We'll put a pin in it and we're going to continue that conversation in
37:14
February when we're all in that energy.
37:17
But what else are you seeing for the month?
37:19
So like, I kind of mentioned that this month, From a human design perspective,
37:23
it's very much all about the root center.
37:24
It is about that pressure.
37:26
It is very much like that new year energy of like, boom, what are we gonna do?
37:32
are we gonna start?
37:33
What are we going to kick off?
37:35
And then can we ride that wave where we're spending more time in fuel than in stress?
37:42
You know, are we giving in to pressure, or are we allowing pressure to build
37:46
to the point where it moves us in a direction that feels like we chose it?
37:53
And what do we want to fight for?
37:55
Is that first, that first week, Is the gate of the fighter, you know,
37:59
the first through the fifth, we are in the gate of the fighter, gate 38.
38:03
And to me, the fighter is all about fighting for purpose.
38:06
And it is about fighting for your individual purpose.
38:09
It's not the purpose to the rest of the world.
38:11
It's your individual, authentic purpose in this life.
38:15
What are you willing to fight for is sort of that question that is
38:19
being asked of us at first week.
38:22
What are you, what are you really fighting for?
38:24
What are you really here for?
38:26
And that's a question I'll be asking myself, I mean we do that at the
38:29
start of the year anyway, but really to deepen it like where it goes
38:32
beyond just what do I want to do?
38:35
What are my goals?
38:36
No, what am I going to fight for this year without killing myself?
38:42
But what am I going to commit to hard and say I'm just committed to
38:48
helping this be birthed and become whatever it's meant to become?
38:52
And then we move into gate 54, which is the gate of ambition, another root center
38:57
gate, but it takes us, it's tribal.
38:59
It says, okay, now who do I need to help me get there?
39:02
Who is important to this mission that I'm on and can ambition be
39:08
bigger than just my own thing?
39:10
Does it go beyond me and become something bigger?
39:13
So that's kind of like that first half of the month and that takes us through
39:16
to that nodal shift where it does become more about everybody else, where it does
39:20
become more about our place in the whole.
39:22
So those were kind of the themes that were standing out to me
39:25
at the beginning of the month.
39:27
How about for you?
39:29
Completely.
39:30
Yeah.
39:30
The first week where you're talking about the fighter, I see that as
39:33
the divine dance and you're, you're basically having a shadow dance.
39:37
Mm hmm.
39:37
you've got the old goals and aspirations and you're dancing with these new ones.
39:42
And it's a, it's a break dancing fight.
39:45
Like you've got, you've got to figure out which of these, um, Versions
39:50
of you are gonna win in the dance.
39:52
And so there's a lot of It's very very attuned to what you just said and then
39:57
that second week when you're talking about The people that are on your team,
40:01
that's the time of the divine plan.
40:04
And, you know, you can kind of think that this is a moment when you're looking
40:07
at the mountain, and you're trying to decide which route you're gonna take
40:11
with who you're gonna take it with.
40:14
And so there's this divine plan that we install in the second week.
40:18
And there's obviously, you know, a lot of astrology going on during this time,
40:22
but I love these kind of broader strokes because they're more of a, um, you think
40:28
of all the things that happen when you're trying to create a plan with other people.
40:31
Everyone's got their own strategies.
40:33
Everyone thinks that the, their way up the mountain is going to be the best way.
40:36
The best way is going to be a way that honors every single person's gifts.
40:41
And that's how we're going to climb that mountain.
40:44
And then that fourth week, um, it's like the four of pentacles.
40:47
It's, it's this moment where we, we can sort of grow attached.
40:52
To things being a certain way but the lesson is in having faith in the release
40:58
Like releasing it up to our life releasing releasing our good plans to the universe
41:06
So that we can Allow the change to happen and that's when that nodal shift
41:11
occurs It will require some faith for us to release and trust that there's
41:17
a divine team here If we are entering into a space of teams and faith and the
41:22
fabric, there is a divine team literally in bodies and some in not bodies.
41:29
And there's more to this fabric of, getting things created in the
41:33
world than just our own hands.
41:37
Yeah, and when we shift over, so on the 11th, we shift in human design
41:41
into Gate 61 and Gate 61 is, go from the root to the head, different
41:47
pressure, pressure, mental pressure now.
41:51
But this gate is so fascinating to me because it's the gate of inner truth.
41:57
And it is about the mysteries of life.
42:00
It is about thinking about the unknowable things in this world.
42:06
So we shift from this, like, I've got to do, I've got to, but, but I've
42:09
got to trust that timing is right and that the evolution will unveil
42:13
itself if I'm open to the process.
42:16
And then we're going to shift into Pisces in the north node.
42:20
And then we have this, at that same time, we have this, what can be very beautiful,
42:24
but also can be a bit of madness as well, depending on what side of the
42:29
pressure you fall on, but that pondering of what is out there, what is next?
42:36
Can I expand my way of thinking?
42:39
right now to go beyond what I see, what I can touch, what feels true.
42:45
Can I expand what that truth really means?
42:49
And that again, it can be incredibly creative and inspiring and beautiful,
42:54
or it can be complete madness and it really depends on what side you fall on.
43:00
So can you, can you have a gentle touch with the way that you're thinking
43:04
about things that third week where you're really just sort of, um, Getting
43:09
curious without necessarily needing to find an answer because that's
43:13
the magic of all head center energy.
43:17
Anything that comes in 63, 61, or 64, those three gates, if you try to find an
43:23
answer, you will not find it typically.
43:26
it's it's from, you know, look mom, no hands.
43:31
It's the, when you let go of the reins and allow yourself to just.
43:35
Realize that the horse will keep running if you just keep your balance.
43:40
Um, and that's where the joy is.
43:42
So it is about allowing that to come through.
43:45
Those are , some big things for me.
43:47
We also have on the 22nd, we come to what is considered the human design new year.
43:53
And so gate 41, which is the start of everything.
43:58
And this runs from the 22nd to the 27th.
44:01
That 41st gate is the gate of, it's called the gate of contraction, but
44:05
really what it is, it's about big dreams.
44:08
It is , in DNA, they say it's the start codon.
44:10
It's the thing that says, okay, now we go.
44:14
That it's again in the root center.
44:16
So it is that pressure.
44:17
It is that fuel, but it's the fuel for your dreams.
44:21
It is the fuel to say, I'm going to dare to dream of something, to see
44:26
something bigger than I think is possible.
44:30
And I'm not going to get lost in the fantasy of it and never bring it into
44:34
tangible reality, but I'm also not going to feel like it needs to be so
44:41
perfectly possible that I'm I lose the fact that I, I can be a great
44:47
creator, that I have power beyond what seems just logically possible.
44:52
It's not logical.
44:53
It is an emotional experience, this whole thing.
44:57
So that to me is the thing that I'm like, I always love when that gate comes around.
45:03
It's always a mystery to me how it will feel because you never know
45:06
if you're going to fall into the pressure or into the kind of doomsday
45:10
feelings that can come with pressure.
45:13
I don't know what to do with it.
45:14
I need it to move.
45:15
I need it to change.
45:16
really uncomfortable.
45:18
But can you just have a lot of fun swimming in, can you dream a big dream?
45:25
And can you say, not how will it happen, but can you play with how
45:31
could it happen at that point?
45:34
All the different ways that something crazy, wonderful,
45:41
That's a really fun exercise to do at that point.
45:45
I love that exercise, especially for that week.
45:48
That week, I call it the week of sharp discernment.
45:51
It's like the five of swords and The five of swords, this is the
45:57
thing about thoughts and ideas.
45:59
Like you're talking about how can we allow our mind to expand behind,
46:03
beyond the rational, to think thoughts and believe things that are beyond
46:07
what we have experienced in the past or what's rationally possible.
46:11
And the five of swords can bring these swords in and chop
46:15
down those beliefs so quickly.
46:19
And this is when we enter into that testing phase where we've planted all
46:23
this incentive intention and seeds for this new reality and this new vibe, but
46:28
there can be these little insidious old belief swords that can come in and try
46:34
to keep your vibration at a lower level.
46:37
frequency.
46:38
It could try to keep you at your thermostat setting that
46:40
you were used to in past cycles.
46:43
And this is an opportunity, like what you were saying, this is an opportunity
46:47
to let those new novel ideas and beliefs slip past your regulation center.
46:55
And think the bigger dreams, turn the temperature up higher than your
46:59
thermostat usually allows, see if you can get yourself beyond neutral
47:03
into this new terrain, and have sharp discernment when those old ideas and
47:09
regulating thoughts try to come in.
47:12
to tell you that it's not safe, it's not going to work, you're
47:15
not good enough, blah, blah, blah.
47:16
Like, it's definitely a week where those tests are present.
47:20
And the entire season, starting on the 19th and into, you know, February, is a
47:27
test of our frequency, is a test of our ability to turn the temperature up, or
47:33
turn the vibration up on our frequency.
47:35
And so, of course, we're going to challenge with the things
47:39
that kept it low from the past.
47:41
If you see it as that, just challenges, you can use your sharp discernment
47:45
to allow the expansion to happen.
47:48
beautiful and To me, that's what the start of the year is about, right?
47:52
We're going to dream big.
47:54
We're going to set the tone for the rest of the year.
47:57
You know, testing what happens in February.
47:59
We're testing for, I mean, you're talking about a really long term test.
48:04
We're testing like, is this what I want for the next 20 years?
48:08
But to me, I'm.
48:09
I'm always thinking about that of, like, I feel like that's what this energy
48:14
is always sort of begging us to do or urging and connecting us to is this
48:19
feeling of, well, what do you really want?
48:24
What do you really want?
48:25
And then as I'm saying that in February, does the rubber hit the road?
48:30
Because sometimes we, we've all made a plan or, you know, set some goals
48:37
and put some things on a vision board that really weren't ours.
48:41
That really weren't the things that we were that connected to.
48:45
The world made us think we should want it.
48:46
You know, it's aligned with something else.
48:49
It's aligned with some old version of ourselves.
48:52
And to me, that's sort of what's coming through as I'm processing
48:56
this talking to you is that February is when it'll be tested.
49:00
Is this really mine?
49:02
Is this really what I want to commit my energy to?
49:06
And then when we do.
49:10
What's possible when I really commit to it, when I really say yes, and say,
49:17
I'm going for this, or I'm allowing this and, and connecting my energy to
49:23
this, I'm, you know, when they talk about, you know, can you connect to
49:28
the energy of the thing that you want?
49:30
Maybe that's what February is doing for us.
49:33
Are we really connected energetically to that thing that we say that
49:36
we want to, those dreams that we dared to put out there.
49:40
Yeah, and you know, you look at the last week of February, or January, you've got
49:45
the Six of Swords, and this is, picture of this is a mother and child in a
49:51
ship, and then there's this person, you know, this male figure kind of at the
49:56
head of the ship, steering that ship out of choppy waters into clear waters.
50:01
And so, this is the, internal mind, We're going to be leading ourself,
50:06
navigating through these swords, so that we have the discernment to get out of
50:11
the emotional choppy waters that the old belief system would create for ourselves.
50:15
And we have the, we're nurturing our inner children through this passage.
50:20
So it's, it's really, the last week is really a time of letting our new
50:24
beliefs Our new guiding principles help us to foster this healing and this
50:30
nurturance of parts of us that were stuck.
50:34
They were stuck in the past.
50:35
They were stuck in old patterns.
50:37
We're getting them through and navigating through into these new earth, this
50:41
new reality, it's crossing over a body of water into a new place.
50:48
And so, yep, I do feel we're being set up so perfectly.
50:55
I do, I do feel that, um, the week that we need to really keep our discernment
51:01
sharp is from the 19th to the 25th.
51:04
I feel that that's going to be the week that we were just going to just keep
51:09
your feet on the ground, keep your heart open, let yourself experience whatever
51:15
comes to you and allow yourself to see the bigger picture and continue choosing what
51:21
frequency or what sensation in your body you prefer to experience in that moment.
51:29
I love that.
51:30
I think that that's a great place to leave that, to let people know this is what.
51:35
you know, that week of discernment can look like and how you can use
51:38
that and because am I hearing you correctly, like that that might be a
51:44
difficult or challenging time that week.
51:48
It could be if there's a lot of unconscious material.
51:54
That is ready to be processed.
51:57
Yeah.
51:59
distinction to make, because it's like, there's no bad, good or bad,
52:02
it's just how does it affect you?
52:04
And if you're open to the experience, similar to what we were talking about
52:08
with the bliss experiment, if you're open to the experience, if you're open
52:12
to what is happening, you stay present with it, then the lessons emerge.
52:17
The work that you have to do becomes more important.
52:21
It's kind of apparent, or you work through it the way that you can, and
52:25
then you emerge on the other side different, whatever different looks like.
52:30
So I think that that's kind of always the way that we want you
52:33
to be working with this stuff, is that there is no good or bad.
52:36
It is just about, you know, are you paying attention in a relaxed enough
52:42
way that you can be in it without trying to control the whole thing.
52:47
I
52:50
So anything that you want to leave everybody with before
52:53
we sign off for this month?
52:55
gonna say growth through omission, but I don't know if that's the
52:57
right word I'm looking for.
52:59
Growth through release is real growth.
53:02
Growth through letting things go is real growth.
53:05
We don't always have to add things in order to feel like we're growing.
53:09
That we could definitely drop things and that could be growth.
53:14
And especially on the 21st, I feel that there's going to be something we can drop
53:19
like a hot potato and we'll just let it go and that that's going to be growth.
53:24
It could be as easy as like, I'm just not going to pick that up.
53:27
Yeah, most of the growth in my life has come from letting go, not adding.
53:32
It has been from subtraction.
53:33
It has been from, from letting something . that no longer serves me to really have
53:40
the courage to look at things and say, you know, is this no longer serving me?
53:44
Is there something that I need to do in order to allow myself to let go of this?
53:49
Baggage is heavy.
53:50
And sometimes baggage looks like the next great idea that you could start.
53:57
And sometimes it's just, it's just more.
53:59
So I love that you shared that because subtraction to me has always
54:04
been my greatest path to growth.
54:07
For sure.
54:09
Yeah.
