Episode 412:

Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, everybody. I’m your host, Nicole Laino, and it is the start of the month. It is our October astrology and human design session episode. So I’m of course joined by my beautiful and vivacious friend, Ms. Christina Luna. How are you, my love? 

I am feeling really dialed in for this episode. 

We were chatting before we started. I was like, we just have to hit record because this is all, like, we just need to go. So we didn’t plan anything. We have our own stuff. But I’m excited for this. So, yeah, we’re in Libra season. We are here. It’s official. We are in the equinox now as we are, like, in that little portal and just ending this eclipse portal, which I know has been rocking the worlds of almost everybody that I talk to, whether they know it or not, they’re just like, I’ve just felt, like, crazy, and I actually felt really good. How did you feel during this whole thing? I mean, it was a ride. It was insane. But it was also, like, I felt I kind of had a little bit of fun with the energy. 

How about you? Yes, likewise. And I just wanna point out, I don’t know if anyone will be able to see this, but we’re totally representing dark and light. Because I was pretty prepared emotionally for the eclipse season. I had a lot of fun with it, too. I communicated a lot with the people that I’m close to in my life to sort of head up the energy. 

Yeah. 

So that gave myself a lot of permission to act a different way than I normally would. I was very transparent with how I was feeling. I gave myself a lot of grace. No matter how I was feeling. I let myself explore every truth within me. I just really gave lots of permission. So I had a really good eclipse season, actually. 

Very good. Same. The only thing that I honestly, I enjoyed the energy, like, it was a little all over the place, but I, you know, I doubled down on my tools. Like, I did really long breath works. I did a lot of journaling. I was really, like, casting a vision, and then the universe, like, definitely shook some things up and shifted some things where I felt like I’m like, oh, there’s some tests. I Think the difference between the way tests feel now and the way that tests used to feel was that, you know, tests used to feel like, you know, will I pass? And now I know how to handle it. But, oh, did they come? They’re still coming. It’s really challenging because it’s like, it’s endings. It’s a new beginning. I feel like I’m getting what I asked for, but I always. 

I always tell my clients this. I’m like, what? We get to have an intention. We get to have a vision. We get to set a goal. We get all of those things, but we don’t get to choose how it will all come to us and how it will all show up. So be prepared. Sometimes things fall away. Sometimes things need to shift and rearrange. And sometimes that feels really uncomfortable. And I feel like I’m sort of in that initiation space at the moment of, like, really being like, okay, let’s see how we do with all of this. 

Agreed. You know, it seems like the flicker of test. It felt like, are you going to be honest with yourself about how this changed or feels different for you now? Are you going to take a new action because it feels different to you now? Are you going to hold on really tightly to things from the past because the new thing feels different to you now? So I think it was definitely a test of allowing without going into kind of a spiral of neurosis. And so many conversations clarifying the way that I relate. I’m calling them thought monkeys. So noticing that I have a room, a boardroom in my head, and I’ve talked about this before, but there were events and there were experiences that had a swell of thought monkeys that were trying to take up residence inside my head. 

And these thought monkeys are really bright and shiny and loud and emotional, and they definitely wanted to pull my attention into them. And so I had to observe it. I had to see. First of all, I came to the conclusion that there probably aren’t any ideas that are mine at all. I don’t even know if I have any thoughts at all. I think I’m an observer. And I’ve decided that the thoughts I do have are energies that I’ve allowed to sit at my table. And so I had to really ask myself, who do I let sit at my table? What kind of boundaries do I have at the table? Who do I entertain? Like, it feels like all the thought monkeys are trying to sell you, sell themselves into a spot in our conscious awareness. 

Sell themselves a spot where we’re going to give them Our energy and attention and focus. And I had to be very clear about what I’m buying and what I’m not buying. And I did not buy hardly anything in September. 

I think you had to be in September. You really had to, like, I am usually pretty good at catching those thought monkeys, at catching, you know, and just really not feeding them at all. And I mean, when you said like, you know, not feeding the neuroses and I’m just like, you talking, like, are you calling me out? My. The Virgo South Node was fighting hard because I’m usually pretty good at letting the thoughts go, not feeding them, not giving more energy to the thoughts that don’t serve like a practice that I’m actively involved in all the time. But this was like, they were persistent. But I looked at it and I think that this is the benefit of things like this show and understanding what’s happening and knowing what celestial events are happening so that we can understand these energies. 

Because I was able to look at that as, say, and ask questions of, is this a part of me that is like hanging on for dear life because it knows I need to let it go? You know, it’s like that last ditch effort, you know, when something is about to die, it’s when it goes into its, you know, fits of trying to survive. Like, are these the last screams of some version of me that is trying to hang on that fearful version? And then there’s grief because eclipses in this whole season. You know, I went back to 2006 and looked at like, where was I? 2006 was when I went full time in my corporate job. It was like, exactly this time that I got offered that job and then I accepted and signed the contract in November. 

By the time, like, we got done with background checks and all the things that happened, it was when I said goodbye to, like, the creative version of me and signed up to be this, like, other thing. And I remember it was this line in the sand and just going back and journaling on that time and reflecting on it and just kind of contemplating, like, oh, I got emotional there for a second. But I thought about it and I was like, I remember having the feeling a couple of years ago being like, I used to have all of this mojo. Like, I felt like life, like, responded to me and I just had it going on and then somewhere it got cut off and I was like, when did that happen? And it was right around that time. 

And for me it was like, okay, so things are going to change. Things are going to shift for me, I don’t know what that looks like. Sun in Virgo really wants to know what it looks like, but I’m being challenged right now to accept those changes. And maybe I’m getting that version of me back in a certain way, like, in a new way that maybe this chapter of who I’ve been for that period of time since 2006, that’s closing, but what’s available to me now, that was sort of how I remained positive through all of this and was able to kind of look at it and be like, oh, no, this is an opportunity. This is something like, what’s here. Rather than being like, this is so uncomfortable. 

It was just like, oh, wait, is that the version of me that’s maybe crying because she knows her time is ending? Oh, what if I met her with some compassion and chatted with her about the last nearly 20 years that we have been hanging out and having a time? Right. 

Yeah. Do you know you and I were born around the same time I. I graduated from. I got my art degree that year. I was a really expressive, prolific artist. I’d always been very creative and artistic, and I gave birth right after I graduated from college, and I became a mother. So you went into corporate. I went into motherhood. And I. Now my son is 20 years old. And the creative version of me is. It’s creative not because she has a mission, not because she has an obligation or a responsibility. It’s creative because it just feels good. And I used to feel that way before this era began, and now I’m feeling that way. I’m feeling it again. I’m starting to feel just for the sake of being. 

Just for the sake of doing it, just not because of any reason, not for anyone else, just because it lights me up. So that definitely feels like it’s emerging. And I was talking to you before we hit record about how over my birthday, I went to my partner, took me to see some petroglyphs that are literally right in my backyard. And the art form of these petroglyphs and what. What it meant to me, it ignited that sensation of being and creating and enjoying life just for the sake of it, not because there’s some kind of grandiose mission or some kind of heavy burden of obligation or, I don’t know, legacy of any kind, just for the immediacy of the joy of it. 

Yeah, there’s something about like this, you know, because I think I got caught in the thought for a moment, caught myself in the thought of just being like, oh, if the last 18 years didn’t happen. I could have been that girl all along, but it’s like, no, that girl had all sorts of problems too. And these last 18 years, 19 years had to happen in order for me to reclaim her. Like, it’s not like the new Rebirth is not that old version of me is just being born again as she was. She gets to get all of this other stuff that I’ve become along the way too. And that’s what’s really exciting. I sort of. I wrote my. My journal. I feel like I’m entering my. I’m the shit era. Like, that way I feel electric. I feel so excited. 

And that’s what I mean about like, I’m like, I have felt amazing during this portal. Even in the moments of being like, what’s happening? It’s been like, it’s all happening for a reason. 

And it’s gonna get better, but better. 

Might look like shit for a while. And that’s okay. It’s been this real. Like there’s an allowing that I feel like I got to. In this moment. It feels like a lot of weight was lifted. A lot of the. Like, just the pressure. 

Yes. 

That I didn’t realize I was carrying until it started to go away. And I’m like, oh, wait, yeah, there. 

Was a lot there. So let’s talk about Libra season. Let’s talk about. Let’s do it. A very specific type of pressure that we probably are not feeling this Libra season. And I want to talk about why. Because over the last two years we’ve been preparing for this Libra season. So first of all, Mars has a two and a half year long cycle. So the last time Mars was in Libra, which is where Mars was for the whole of September. That was like back in 2023. It was, you know, before October of 2023. It was October, I guess, and it was in alignment with the south node. The south node was in Libra at that time. So we just went through a whole period of south node in Libra. 

And what it was doing was it was emptying out any types of patterns that we had in relationships where we would sacrifice one side of the equation for harmony on the other side of the equation. Basically it was the end of trying to fix the mirror on the outside by adjusting ourselves on the inside. So we released our attachment to harmony for the sake of harmony at the cost of ourselves over the last. People pleasing, people pleasing, all of that. So Mars was now back in Libra during Virgo season. And now the sun is in Libra. This is the first time the sun is in Libra since the south node left. And so this is a very first time for this eclipse or for this like cycle, this long 18 year cycle that we have. 

We’re showing up presently in our relationships, but we don’t have any of the old patterns whatsoever. And I’ve been in a relationship for the last year. It’s marking the one year mark for this new relationship that started last year. 

Oh my gosh. 

In Libra already in a year. 

Oh my God. 

So I was able to track with that with my relationship and anyone who has Pluto in Libra. So people within our generation, Anyone who’s like 40 or sometime around in their 40s, they can often track their transformation through relationships. Like, relationships are the laboratory for their transformation. So it’s easy to get data from that space. But right now everyone’s in Libra season. So this is where all the data is showing up for everybody, which is convenient for this conversation. So basically I’m noticing how very different the way I relate to my partner is Every relationship I’ve ever had that spanned 24 years. Basically I’m looking at the last 24 years of committed relationship that I’ve been in and how, oh my gosh, the. The authenticity of how I am in this relationship. 

Which means that I’ve been such a variable person with my partner and he’s balanced in a certain way. He’s very present and stable and balanced. So it’s given me a lot of stability and freedom to just see what’s on my side of the equation. Completely free from worrying about what will happen on his side of the equation. And so I hope that everyone to some degree is noticing in their life how they just, they could see it as like, you know, they say that women going through perimenopause, they don’t have the estrogen to soften their mood. They don’t have like, they don’t have the people pleasing hormones that make them feel okay with bs. 

It’s where they don’t give a. 

They don’t, they don’t. And they give less bucks. Yeah, these really huge relationship changes during perimenopause because they can’t just brush her under the rug anymore. They don’t have the tolerance for certain patterns. And it feels like we’re in a collective moment that’s like that for everyone. We cannot brush things under the rug anymore. Collectively, personally, energetically, we can’t do it. And so we’re seeing a lot of our Intolerances very clearly. But also it’s motivating our behavior in a way that will create actual change. 

Fun times. 

Yeah. 

Might be uncomfortable because this is. You know, it’s a change and it’s a shift. And especially when it comes to relationships, it can be jarring when we start acting differently. I personally feel like I have felt closer to my husband in the last six months, honestly. But it just feels like it gets easier. There’s a. Like an exhale that I feel lately where it’s just. We just lean on each other. We just. I don’t know, it feels like we’re together 21 years. It’s a long time. 

It’s a long time. So you’re. You transformed within the container, and that’s. 

Hard to do because when you’re together from such a young age. I met him when I was 25, you know, like a baby kind of like, certainly compared to now. And I see somebody who’s 25, I’m like, oh, my God. It’s, like, all just starting for you. And, you know, he was 27, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. And when you’re with somebody that long, transforming within the relationship is a choice that you both have to keep making. I’m going to transform, and I’m going to allow you to become different than you were when I met you. And this is better for all of us. But that’s not always easy. But let’s talk a little bit about. You said something before we hit record, and I was like, we just have to hit record so we can talk about this. You said something about. 

I’m very excited to talk about October because. And just go ahead and tell them. 

What you’re excited about, because both 2025 and 2026 are bringing in massive change, and we’re about midway through that cycle, and the next couple of months are going to bring us through kind of the final freedom gate. And so you laughed at that because you’re like, oh, that sounds. 

That sounds terrible. The final gate of freedom. 

It’s like, oh, freedom to head in that new direction. So it’s the final. Like, we’re gonna get to some really deep places emotionally this fall. There’s a lot of depth water. There’s a lot of root stuff. There’s just. But, yeah, it’s going to feel so fruitful by the time we get to January. And I think we’re gonna feel the lightness and the excitement in December. And I know primarily trying to talk about October, but October is the beginning of approaching that gate. And the beginning of approaching the gate is okay. I cannot tolerate patterns that are inauthentic. I’m going to be very clear and communicate very precisely with who I am and what I feel and what’s true for me, because the more precise I can be, the more that we’ll be able to create a whole new equation. 

And so this entire month of October is. There probably will be some painful conversations, some sharp truths that are true, but they’re ultimately what opens us up to deeper intimacy. So the truth is the gate to intimacy. Intimacy is the gate to transformation. And this is the month of truth. So if not now, then when? This is the time, like, I want to encourage everyone to have all of the very honest conversations and know that their emotions can definitely cloud our judgment. And so the more that we can be calm, clear, be governors and stewards of our state, have compassion, patience, all of the beautiful libra and things that are judicial, democratic, diplomatic, but also honest and just. That’s what is called for this month. 

Okay, that’s shifting my perspective on October. One thing that you were like, that you were saying. So when you started saying that before we hit record, you were like, you know, I see this as, like, you know, this is, like, setting us up for January. This is like, this is a really pivotal point. And I’m like, I see that, too. And just from, like, a human standpoint, I look at, like, right now is the moment that you have to be getting your shit together if you want January to be different. Like, that’s why this last quarter of the year is the quarter of transformation. It’s about shifting, at least from a human design perspective. That’s how we look at it. It’s the quarter of transformation that we go into in that fourth quarter. 

We are shifting, and we’re like, okay, we did all these things. We transformed our relationships, which is where we are now. And then it’s like, okay, now, what does that mean for, like, what did this year all mean? Like, what was it all about? It’s time to, like, really dig into that. So I always look at that time. But then when you put that context around it shifts how I think about it, too. It shifts how I see that. It’s very interesting. I’ll have to, like, I wasn’t looking at it through that. I guess I don’t. I’m so, like, this is very Virgo, but, like, super, like, just, like, business focused and, like, focused on, like, my life and all of those things. But I’m not like thinking in terms of relationship. And this has been a very like really, this is relationship time. 

Well, even so, relationship with our business, with our clients, with the community that we serve with the community of business leaders that we are among our peers. You know, there’s a lot transforming when it comes to our peer groups right now and who we’re creating alliances with, who we’re co creating with. There’s a lot that goes on with business during Libra season because Libra season is literally it had to do with the exchange of funds. It had to do with the exchange of value. Is this is what’s on my side of the equation equal to the value that you’re giving me for this exchange. Are we going to co create, are we going to trust each other to step into a contract in Scorpio season? 

And so this is the time when we’re getting to know who we’re going to go deeper into through contractual agreements. 

That’s very third quarter stuff of like it’s duality is what we call it, which is about relationship. It’s about. It isn’t just me. It’s about the give and take, it’s about the bargain. It is about this exchange that we are in. So I think that these broader themes can be helpful sometimes to remember the same way just understanding what we’re going through. It’s like it can help you understand like why these things are being put on your plate at the moment and to a way to look at them. But I wanted to say October, for y’ all that have been listening to this and been following us on these episodes, the transit episodes for a while, you know, October is the month of fear in human design. It’s the month of the spleen. So the sun travels so. 

So the sun’s energy is going to be traveling all the way around the land of the spleen. And the spleen is the center of. You can think of it two ways. You can think of it as the low frequency is fear. For sure, I’m afraid all of the gates are afraid of something. But on the other side of it is courage. So I see this. October is a time where you have the ability and you have the choice to choose courage over fear, to choose possibility over fear. And that’s harder for some of us than others. 

But I think sometimes when we understand that the energy is going to be and if you don’t have these gates, if you have an undefined spleen, if you have a spleen that has not many gates activated you might find that feels like a lot to you when these do get activated, and we’ll run through everything that we’re seeing, and we’ll give you some dates and stuff to look out for. But. But, you know, we start out the month, you know, gate 48. It’s the fear of inadequacy. So you might kick off the month just being like, am I good enough? Am I really? Like, you might have a vision that came to you. This, like. I feel like this eclipse portal put me into, like, okay, this is the big game that you’re going to be playing, Nicole. I could shift into. 

And I have this gate. So I’ve got this one all the time. So it feels more familiar to me. And I’ve worked with it for a long time. So when we have something in our chart, it tends to be. There’s a lesson of, like, master this. But it doesn’t feel so like what is happening. You know, it’s like, oh, I’m kind of used to this frequency. I get this one. The 48th gate is the fear of inadequacy. It’s that, like, am I good enough? Do I have the depth to really take this on? So that might be happening in that start of the month. And there are, you know, the opposite of it. The polarity of it is this gate of control. So I feel like you can get these two poles where it’s like something, you know, the ego wants to control things. 

But the way through the 48th gate’s fear of inadequacy is to trust the depth. And you practice. You do the damn thing. You show up and you put your best foot forward, and you learn what you need to learn, and you do what you need to do. It’s a time to really buckle down and be like, if I’m serious about this, I have to act serious. Am I really in it for mastery? That’s what kind of we kick the month off with. Do you have any dates or things that you want to call out, things that you want to talk about? 

Yeah, there’s a pretty clear pattern in October. And the first one I want to talk about is actually from the 5th to the 11th. We’re Mercury entering into Scorpio. And I think it’s really important to notice how our thoughts affect our emotions and know that our emotions can cloud our judgment. And this goes both ways. We could have emotions that cloud our judgment, our better judgment, because they feel high, and we could have emotions that cloud our better judgment because they feel low. And so it’s really important to be able to separate thoughts and feelings and know what thoughts are feeding the emotions. So that week is important to keep an eye on about that. And then it seems like the week between the 12th and the 18th, there’s an energy that wants us to step back and process like rest and recuperate. 

Venus will enter Libra and she’s going to do a bunch of different aspects to all those outer planets that are trying to create the new paradigm. I think it’s a time for us to really step into a space of reflection. And it’s like stepping into the temple of yourself and just acknowledging that your temple is affected when you rest well, when you eat well, when you give yourself the things you need, it actually impacts the quality of your thoughts and your energy. And so I would definitely use that to recuperate that energy. Know that the more you recuperate your energy, the more you distill the self care, the more available you’ll be for the coming patterns. The week after that, there’s a lot from the 19th, 25th, there’s quite a bit of shift. 

That’s when the sun moves into Scorpio, Neptune will move back into Pisces, and then we’ve got this long Jupiter chiron square. So let’s just for a moment in our lives right now with Jupiter in cancer, it’s helping to open us up even more vulnerably to the truth of our needs. And the truth of our needs helps us to feel even more connected to other people. And when that energy is in a square to chiron, which is the wounds that we feel around just merely existing, we could have a pretty raw time with it, a raw moment with our humanity. So the space of time between the 17th and the, I don’t know, 25th, it’s a whole week. It could feel quite tender. 

And I think some people will get, they’ll find that they get sick during that week, especially if they didn’t rest and recuperate the week before. It’s a week where, you know, we could just feel the energy dropping. We’ll have less sunlight in the northern hemisphere. A lot of people’s circadian rhythms kind of get off, it’s darker earlier, there’s that grieving time. And historically year after year, I’ve noticed that a lot of people kind of need a lot of self care in those weeks of October. So I’m just kind of proactively suggesting that we don’t try to push too hard, that we trust that regulated nervous system Is the very strongest tool. It’s the most effective efficiency. 

Yeah, it’s a good time to book something for yourself or put it on your calendar that you’re gonna like. This is why I also like. I don’t think that nervous system work and regulation work is something that we should be penciling in. It should be something that’s part of your daily routine at this point. That’s how you can level off a lot of this stuff where it isn’t knocking you over. And you can handle these things, you’ll still feel them, but you can handle them a whole lot more gracefully. I see that week, you know, like, there’s a lot happening too, like from a human design perspective. And we just have these, like, we have these conjuncts. We have these from the human design perspective. 

What we look at, you know, are we getting these new energies where we are all getting like a channel, which is usually a collective lesson for that time. So we have a few of those that come up throughout the month. We have the 9th through the 14th. We’re all going to have this connection from our spleen, which is where the sun is in the 57th gate. The 57th gate is the gate of intuition. It’s the most intuitive gate in the body graph. And what is it connected to? It’s connected through uranus through the 20th gate, which is the gate of now. I want it, and I want it now. And that’s the interesting thing with Uranus being in this gate for quite a while. You know, it’ll be coming to its end and shifting into another one. But this gate is. 

It can be very impatient, but its gift is to just very much trust in the now. So when it’s connected to the spleen through the 57th Gate of Intuition, it’s about trusting your intuitive guidance on what to say, on what you might feel like. It’s easier to speak your truth during this week or that you feel called to where it almost feels impossible to not share it because the spleen is so spontaneous. This is going to be probably a week of like, breakthroughs or little nudges, little things, because everyone’s gonna have an activated spleen is really what it comes down to. So if you have an open spleen or an undefined spleen, you will have it activated during this week. 

And what that means is it could shift you into the fear, which is 57 says, I don’t know how it’s all gonna work out, so I should stay safe. I don’t know. I don’t know. What’s the future gonna hold? I better stay here. That’s the shadow of it. And 20 says, I don’t wait for shit. Like, I do it. I want it now. I want it yesterday, actually. So let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. And the balance of this is to say, like, I speak and I move and I take action when it. I’m intuitively guided. So that might feel crunchy to people who aren’t used to that type of energy. You might not be used to trusting that. 

And I think we’re given an opportunity that week to sort of flex that muscle, to go to the gym in our intuition, so to speak. The other thing that is happening right about the same time, like, just coming up to it, is we also have this. We have neptune in the 25th gate. And then it’s coinciding with the Earth gate during that same week, which is 51. So we’re all getting the 25, 51 channel of initiation. So we have these two pieces here which are very intuitive, but the 5125 channel, the channel of initiation, this is about initiating into, like, a new spiritual place, a new level of who you are initiating. It’s by going first, I become more of who I’m meant to be. So there’s like this kind of. 

To me, like, when I look at that and I see those two things coming together during that week, I’m like, oh, this is going to be a time of really being challenged to follow your intuition and answer that call of what you’re being called up to and whether you are cowering to that some shocking things might happen. The 51st gate is the Gate of shock. There might be some turbulence there. And the gift of this is to be able to withstand rocky, shocking times, that you can be the rock. And through that trust, there’s so much trust in both of these. Trusting yourself, trusting your intuition, trusting the universe, trusting that what you feel is right. I think that is going to be like a big moment for us in those. Like that first week to two, that second week of October. 

What else are you seeing, my love? 

It looks around the 29th and 30th. There will be a breakthrough in our thoughts. There’ll be philosophical breakthrough, a lot of experiential wisdom that we break to the surface. And I think it will give us a glimpse of what’s to come in the next year. It’ll at least give us, like, a shooting point, like a place where we want to kind of shoot our arrow. So I think we kind of let go of an arrow, and that arrow is going to fly through Scorpio and kind of go through the forest of the Unknown during Scorpio. But it will land in December, and I think we’re all gonna be very pleased at where it lands. But that final kind of archery moment, I think, comes around the 29th, very end of the month. 

And are you seeing this kind of Mercury, Mars in Scorpio kind of dance that they’re doing from the middle of the month through, they’re in a conjunction. 

So when the head and the ego are together, then, you know, that’s why it’s going to be really important to navigate your state, because if your head’s not in the right place, we could move from a Martian place. That’s very protective. And, you know, we’ll see it in the collective. Everything will get played out in the collective at every different level of consciousness. The level of consciousness that I. I’m encouraging people to bring is that it’s a really beautiful time to create very clear boundaries, mental boundaries and physical boundaries with things that are not aligned with where we want to be or the frequency we want to be. 

And like, for me, what I see with that time, you know, we’re going through all the Scorpio gates, the first gate, which is really going to challenge, like, how you see yourself and your ability to take. It’s going to want to take action, but it’s going to want to take really aligned action of, like, this is who I am. There’s so much of. To me, what I’m looking at is, like, just claiming who we are in this space and this little dance that we have between Mercury of how we’re putting ourselves out there and what we’re saying and how we’re communicating, and then Mars being really claiming, taking us through the ringer on these Scorpio gates, the first gate, the 43rd gate, the 14th gate, it’s going to challenge us in all of these places. 

And it’s just seeing it where it’s like, oh, it’s going to challenge us, but we’re also going to be challenged to be communicating these things that we’re feeling and all of these things we’re going to be going through. You know, the first gate kind of says, like, who am I and where do I have to contribute? What do I really have? Like, that’s me that I need to, like, put out in the world. Like, I am a creative being, and do I feel? What emotions do I have around that? What truth does not really jive with me on that? Where am I not being truthful to who I really am? That uniqueness? Where am I not allowing it to be seen? 

And then the 43rd gate, which is just really going to want to have, like, insights and structure and have, like, kind of beautiful thoughts. And how much are you owning all of this stuff? Then during that 19th to the 24th week, I had circled on here, because we have Pluto and what we look at as the Earth, which is, you know, the sun’s polarity in the chart, which gives us the 360 channel, which is really about innovation. And this is just something that, like, also just with Pluto in 60 as well, like, what’s going to come out at this time? I don’t know. But this little week might be uncomfortable because 60 is like this burst of creative energy that says, like, ooh, new direction. Let’s do something. Let’s change this. And then the three is the one. But 60 is messy. 

You know, it’s a scatter shot. And then it’s the three that says, ooh, let me take all of these things and, like, I can make them into something so that we actually have the start of something. And it’s the difference between just a great idea and a great brainstorm, which is sort of like what 60 is. And three says, here’s how we actually carry this out. Make it a project so that we can get it done. The gate of ordering is what it’s called. So you might find that things feel a little bit messy leading up to it, but you might get some clarity on how it can be ordered and whether the thing has legs and needs to be ordered in order to go through. 

You might get some sort of breakthrough idea thought or something, and you might get some clarity on how it actually can have staying power or whether it should have any staying power. During that week, I’m seeing if I had anything else here. Do you have other things you want to call out for the people? 

You know, if anything that you like kind of falls down or spills a little bit in your life this month, try to let the fluid of those cups seep in below the floorboards to older parts of yourself. Like, there could be experiences that trigger a deeper healing, and you might think it’s about this surface experience, but it’s actually trying to get to deeper parts that just need some attention and love. And so if you’re finding emotional moments during the month, open up and ask yourself, when was the first time I ever felt this. And can I love that person even more? Because that will be very good medicine to move out of the month of October with just having seen and held older parts of yourself. 

Yeah, you know, we’re going into water season. At the end of the month, we’ll be in water territory. So that felt like a very appropriate metaphor of allowing the fluid to seep through to all of the old versions of you and down below the surface. Yeah, I guess. Like, I feel this way every October, you know, just kind of. It’s not bracing everyone. I think it’s just being open to recognizing that, at least to me, with the sun going through all of these gates that in the low frequency resonate with fear. This is going to be a time where you choose bravery, and this is going to be a time where you might find that you’re pumping the brakes on some things. You might find that there’s just this, like, oh, I want to go. 

And then there’s something in you that goes, no, wait, I’m scared. 

I’m afraid. 

And the one lesson that we learned from all of the fear gates in the spleen and the fears of the spleen is that unless it’s going to cause you bodily harm, like where you feel like you are getting a hard no, the spleen is saying, not safe. And I mean, like, not safe. Like, don’t go down that dark alley. Not. Don’t put that on Instagram. You know, don’t start that offer. Don’t do that. Like there’s a difference. And this is going to be an exercise. Everybody’s going to have a really long stretch with all of these energies. I think the potential is to go into November being like, I know what it feels like to be in fake fear, to be in low frequency of these things, and I know how to choose bravery and courage. 

And you have the ability to shift into that and have that going into November, December, and, you know, all the way through your life. Like, can you look at this as sort of a gym in overcoming fear? 

Beautiful. 

Anything you want to say before you leave? We said everything. I feel like I covered everything. And I feel like we covered the important stuff. That’s really what we want people to grasp. And then November is going to have its own basket of goodies for us, for sure. 

I would also recommend we talked about some really interesting things a year ago for the October episode. I would kind of recommend people listen to that one again, because some things we said in that episode are really relevant to the way that this October is feeling too. And then the last thing I wanted to say was the resource library that I talked about on the last episode. It is available and live on my website now Alive. I am starting my enrollment now for the quarterly readings. So if you’re listening to the episode and you’re interested in whatever that looks like, please find me on Instagram and DM me and we’ll talk about it. 

Yes, we will link all of her stuff up in the show notes so you can easily find it and be able to connect with her. Thank you so much. We are actually if you’re interested in checking out Business by Design applications are available. We’ll leave you a link for that in the show notes as well. If you’re interested in working with me for the next year to transform your business and your life. So thanks for being here. As always. It’s always so much fun seeing you.
