Episode 446:


Nicole Laino
Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody. I’m your host, Nicole Laino, and I am not here alone today. I am here with my one and only co-host, the only one who has, like a standing invitation on this show coming in every month, the beautiful and talented Ms. Christina Luna. How are you, my friend? 

Christina Luna
I’m absolutely glowing. I’m super excited. I loved. I loved the conversation we had before we hit record. And I love that we get to talk about why we had such a lively and beautiful conversation. I’m so happy to be here. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah, I’m so happy to be here with you. Your hair looks fabulous. For those of you who are not watching on YouTube, you should go over to YouTube, if for no other reason than to see Christina’s hair. The evolution of her hair has been something that I envy. She’s got enviable curls at the moment. I’m jealous. I have curls that are not meant to be seen. 

Christina Luna
Actually, we totally talked about. So we didn’t have like an epic conversation about hair and curls and texture and all these things. And the reason why I think it would even come up is because Aquarius is opposite Leo. And Leo and Aquarius talk about the authenticity. It’s the authenticity of this. And it’s even more important than ever for us to be finding our true authentic voice, texture, way of being, way of feeling, way of thinking, way of creating. Like, that’s why all of these modalities like human design and astrology and like literally all of the authenticity movement, even with AI like, everyone’s talking about how people are craving authentic expressions and authentic art and human experiences. That’s because Aquarius and Leo are polarities of each other. And Leo is all about the human experience, the authentic human experience, the messy, unique human experience. 

Christina Luna
And Aquarius is about how each of those experiences weave together to create this beautiful mosaic. So now we’re in Aquarius, but the Earth is down in Leo. So we’re meant to share from our authenticity, from the highest vibration that we can. We’re meant to share that no matter what it is. I just had a conversation about how no matter what your unique desires are, they’re authentic. They’re not low vibration or high vibration desires. Authenticity is the high vibration. And so whatever that is, it’s being pulled to the surface right now, especially this week that we’re talking that we’re recording this. You know, by the time we reach February 1st, it should be very obvious what is authentic in our lives. But this is the week where we have all of those planets crossing over Pluto, cutting away anything that’s not. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah. And we’re gonna get into all of that. Like, I think I wanna kick it off sort of. We’re recording this on the day that. Our first official day, the Human Design New Year. So Human Design New Year was technically last night at 8pm you and I are recording this on January 22nd, which is our first full day of the new energy. This, like, kickoff into the next thing. Gate 41, that says, like, let’s go. Okay, let’s start something new. Let’s start the process. It doesn’t mean that you’re fully in the process yet. 

Nicole Laino
So, again, like, I think by the time you’re listening to this on, this is gonna air on, I think, the 28th of January, because the way the days fall that you might be feeling like by the time you get to this, we might just be feeling like things are starting to come together still. And then we’ve got. I think you’re gonna talk about February from a very specific place for me. February, when I look at February, I’m like, this is emotional territory. This is a very emotional month from a Human Design standpoint. There are much, like, January, what I’m seeing are just some planets that are marching in lockstep again, together through the Human Design Gates, where we’re getting some. We’re really getting beaten over the head with some themes this month. Again, you know, again, just like, we’re going to have this. 

Nicole Laino
I talked about the Human Design New Year, the, like, Solar Return sort of type of chart that we do for the Human Design New Year. We run a chart and talk about what the year is about. This year, you know, we had One Gate 41, the gate of Hope, or not to Hope. The Gate of Hope. Showing up four times in. I’ve never seen a Human Design New Year chart where anything showed up four times. Where it’s just like, we have to look at that. We have to see that. Like, this is just. It’s a big theme. So why don’t you talk a little bit about what are the hallmarks of Aquarius season, because that is what we are going to be deep into the heart of when this episode starts. 

Nicole Laino
So can you give everybody a little bit of like a little crash course. I know you mentioned it in relationship to Leo, but what makes Aquarius season different from. I mean, obviously it’s different than Capricorn. So we’re moving from Capricorn into Aquarius. What does that transition look like? 

Christina Luna
Yeah, so Aquarius is considered the 11th sign, and it’s the 11th stage of development, of consciousness development. So if you took it through the first six signs, the first personal signs from Aries to Virgo, that is about individuating into the self. And then you move through Libra into Scorpio and Sagittarius, and that’s about taking the individuated self into intimate relationships. So Libra is learning how to trust. Scorpio is the transformation that happens when the individuated self dies and becomes in union with another. And then we move into Sagittarius, which reveals universal truths about not just ourselves, but everyone. It’s the temple of universal truths and epiphany. So we take those universal truths and they motivate us to make a mark in the world. Through Capricorn, we want to bring those truths to the world. We want to serve the world. 

Christina Luna
We want to use our hands to create something that will last beyond ourselves. That’s Capricorn. And then Aquarius is the fixed air paradigm that gets impacted by our mission. So Aquarius is like, wow, I’ve found myself. I’ve learned what lights me up. I’ve learned how to create a world from what lights me up. I’ve learned how to step into co creation with others. I’ve learned how to find a universal truth that appeals and affects all, everyone. And I feel motivated enough to do something in the world that will actually shift the fixed paradigm that currently exists. So some of the things we can feel in Aquarius is, I used to feel this way in my relationships. I used to have this role. But now there’s a bigger mission, there’s a bigger impact. And I want to change the fixed paradigm. 

Christina Luna
I want to break the previous paradigm of thought around relationships or work or feminine needs or humanity’s vulnerable people or, you know, like all of a sudden we care about changing things from what they’ve been commonly accepted as to something new. And we want to do that through our impact. And we all have Aquarius somewhere in our charts. So not all of us are going to have like, advocacy vibes for the world. Not all of us. You know, it’s often you can look out and you can see like, wow, it looks like, that system needs to change. And it looks like it’s falling apart right now. I mean, that’s gonna be what happens when you have Pluto in a sign like Aquarius. Like, okay, the bringer of change and transformation of death is moving through the fixed paradigm now. 

Christina Luna
And so we’re here, and we see it on the global field, but in our personal lives, there’s an internal vibration or frequency that’s breaking up all of the fixed paradigms of our life right now. And so we’re all finding this inner centeredness and we’re setting these new standards and boundaries in the world that are changing what we previously were okay with on any level. Like, I have Aquarius in the second house, so that’s affecting the way I use my resources. And we talked about this in previous episodes, right? Where do you have Aquarius? 

Nicole Laino
You know, I don’t know. I have to look at it. I have a whole sign chart in front of me. So mine will be different than a placidus, but in whole sign. Aquarius is in my fourth house. 

Christina Luna
Yeah, I see you’ve got it in the core of you. So do you feel like something’s being shaken up at the core of you right now? 

Nicole Laino
I just did an episode on the collective circuitry. When you say the core of me in the core of my life, my personal life, I don’t feel like there’s something that is breaking. My core of my personal life feels very strong. Where I am torn is very much in what is happening with the collective. Like, that activist in me is screaming and really having a hard time. I did an episode on this about collective circuitry. And, you know, those of us who have a lot of collective energy in our charts, we can’t ignore what happens in the collective. It feels like the imperative is on us to share. That is what the collective circuitry is here to do. It’s here to look out in the world. Say, I see that out there. I like it. I don’t like it. 

Nicole Laino
Here’s what I think about it, and here’s how we can make it better. And that is at the very core of who I am. So when you were describing Aquarius, and when I look at it like, where this is for me, that I feel like I am dying inside with what’s happening right now. 

Christina Luna
What I see, the inside core of you is shaking. 

Nicole Laino
Yes, yes, that it feels. I’m functioning and everything I’m good at, you know, working with myself and with what’s here. But, yes, at the core of me, I’m for sure shook. And I feel like I should be doing something. And the question of what can I do is something that is constantly on my heart. What more can I do? What more can I do? 

Christina Luna
What more can I do? And Capricorn asks you to be a master at something so that you can bring that mastery in a way to the world that creates an impact in Aquarius. So you’re asking the right questions, like, what can I do with the skills I have, with the position I have in the world? What can I do with this core vibration I feel to impact? What’s going on here? 

Nicole Laino
Yep. And that’s the constant question that I’m asking. And I actually feel like I’m at a point now in my life where I’m actually maybe able to answer that call. And I think a couple of years ago, if I had felt this way and it was on my heart like this, I don’t know if I’d be able to do anything with it. And right now I feel like I’m actually. I mean, there’s limitations, but what with what I have, with what I’ve built with, like you said, with what I’ve mastered with who I am, I feel like I’m actually able to take who I am and what I’ve built and do something with it. I do think human design gives me an interesting perspective and when I say, like, well, what’s in my wheelhouse to provide here? 

Nicole Laino
And I think I can provide a little bit of perspective, maybe through the human design lens, of what’s happening, particularly like with what’s coming with 2027 and what we’re. What we are feeling right now, which I think are interesting little waves giving us clues as to maybe what’s coming. And I have some perspectives that have really come into, I think, more specific focus over the last year of what all of this is really meaning and at least my own perspective on it. Whether I’m right or wrong is a matter of opinion because none of us actually know what’s going to happen when all of this changes. It’s all theory, but I think that I’ve honed my perspective pretty tightly over the last year where I’m like, oh, I think I was thinking about this wrong. 

Nicole Laino
I think I have a new way of, a new clarity on it. 

Christina Luna
Well, what we know is that how people look at things affects the thing that’s being observed, right? Yep. And some of us have been put in positions where we create things that people listen to. And sometimes when we can shine a certain perspective on something, it can cause a group of people to shift perspective just enough that the thing that they’re looking at begins to change. Yeah. And part of what Leo tells us is that we have so much power in our heart to create things that have never been created before, to create anything. And so if the Aquarian lens has us looking out at the world, then taking responsibility for how we look at it creates something new. And it does impact. When we share perspectives, it does impact people who listen. 

Christina Luna
I know that I really enjoy listening to people’s perspectives on things, on issues that are coming up. I enjoy listening to it because it opens up and broadens things. Something that I may have thought was very polarizing or dualistic. And when you get a little bit of space in something, a third option can be created that no one even saw coming. Like a third adjacent possibility. 

Nicole Laino
I love how you’re bringing that up because I think that there has been a lot of fear about sharing opinions or sharing thoughts on the things that are happening, because things are so polarizing and we don’t want to just make people feel bad. That’s certainly not my intention with any conversation that I have, but it’s. They’re all such hot topics, and they’re so emotional, and everybody is so triggered by these things that we are not actually having the conversation. A lot of times it’s just triggering each other and then, you know, blowing up. I think the key is, like, can one person hold themselves in neutrality while maybe the other person is triggered? And then we’re kind of healing through that process. 

Nicole Laino
But I love how you put that about just creating some space by having a conversation that maybe is Even just the 2 degrees different than what you thought it would be. Did that create the space for a new idea, a new thought, or a new perspective on something? So I hope that anybody listening who’s feeling maybe like I do, where they feel like they have to say something, but they don’t know how. One of the things that I do, like when I share anything on social media, I’m really careful about that stuff because there’s often no context, or there’s just something like, here’s this other awful thing that I saw that I can’t hold. 

Nicole Laino
So I’m going to put it out there so other people can see it, that I don’t post anything without putting usually some sort of my perspective on it, so that at least you understand my intention. At least you understand where I’m coming from with this. At least you understand why I shared it. Not just here’s this thing, and then you can put that meaning on because that’s the conversation. It isn’t just sharing more news. 

Christina Luna
It. 

Nicole Laino
It’s about sharing what this is doing to you or what you feel. Why did you share? Why do you feel compelled to put this out to more people? So we get into, like, what we’ve got going on for February. It’s a busy month. Well, we kick it off because, you know, why not start with a bang? We kick it off with the full moon, right? On the 1st. 

Christina Luna
Yeah. 

Nicole Laino
So the February 1st, we’re all gonna have what we call the channel of synthesis in human design. This is an emotional channel. So welcome. We will all be emotional on the 1st. We will all be emotional through the 6th for different reasons. We have the channel of synthesis. There are different planets that activate it at different times, but we get it all the way through the sixth. So from the first to the sixth. So that means we’re all going to be emotional. And this is a very interesting emotional channel. There’s always a different theme to it. This one is about principles and sensitivity. It is a design of sensitivity. It is tribal in nature. And when we say tribal is all about what’s good for the tribe, what’s good for the group. And this is the one. 

Nicole Laino
This is like the mom that comes in and says, you’re not going to treat my kids like that. Like to be sensitive to their needs, and they’re highly in tune with the needs of others. And then this is the channel that will start a revolution. If it feels people are not being treated fairly, if it feels like there is something that does not align with its principles, it will burn it down and not feel bad about it. Pretty sure the whole world is going to have this thing for that first week of February. So, you know, like, let’s just start it all off with a bang. And then what’s happening there, too? It’s the first through the sixth. It’s like it’s Mercury, Venus, Mars, Pluto, they’re all in Aquarius as well. So we get that added kind of oomph to this. 

Nicole Laino
But what are you seeing for the first week of February? What do you got? 

Christina Luna
It tracks so well. Yeah. So, of course, February 1st, that full moon, it puts everyone into that passionate heart space. And then on February 3rd, Uranus moves direct. And any planet, if you’re gonna give a title to any planet as, like, a revolutionary, that would be Uranus. 

Nicole Laino
Right. 

Christina Luna
It’s this Promethean spirit of, like, liberation. And it’s at the Final degrees of Taurus, it’s been moving there for seven years or so now, and it’s really wanting to see the physical, tangible changes that it’s been desiring to see. And it’s going to be moving into Gemini very soon. But in these final degrees of Taurus, it’s like, break it up. Like, finish it out. Let’s do this. Break it the rest of the way. And so that energy you’re talking about, very real. Then February 5th, Mercury squares Uranus. And this is a lot of. Whenever you have a square, remember, there’s always like, a cowboy one side and a cowboy on the other side, or cowgirl, whatever you want to say. And they’re squaring off saying that the town’s not big enough for them. 

Christina Luna
So Uranus is in that square, and Mercury’s in the square, and Mercury’s our ideas, our thoughts, our opinions, the communication we have. And it is like, if we want a revolution, what are the ideas we need to bring to the table to create that revolution? And then very quickly after Mercury goes into Pisces. And so even though there’s a lot of movement we kind of enter into, it’s like we get all this movement and expansion. Like, the actual channeled message I had for this week was, this week, we can make choices that create lateral changes or. Or vertical changes. So we’re going to see some types of changes this week. We’ll know if it created lateral changes. If life feels much the same in the following week, even though we made change, it was changed for change’s sake. 

Christina Luna
If we make vertical changes, we’ll be in a new terrain. We’ll expand beyond the comfort zone. And so it’s okay to be mindful about which types of changes you want to make in your life. Sometimes it’s wise to stabilize and not make dramatic vertical changes. But those are the choices we’ll have on the table. And then things start to feel really interesting, in my opinion. 

Nicole Laino
Secondly to February, I think it’s interesting. The gate that Uranus in human design, when it goes direct, is the eighth gate, which is the gate of contribution, which is about using your voice for good. But it’s very much tied to your own individuality. So my contribution is me being me and exactly as I am, and you’re welcome. Like, it’s that kind of energy. So I think that’s like, let’s break it all the way. It’s like the ultimate truth. There’s nothing contrived about the eighth gate. The eighth gate is like you know, the people that like epitomize cool, but they look nothing like anybody else. They’re like the true avant garde is like the eighth gate and they’re not interested in the status quo at all. 

Nicole Laino
So I think it’s interesting looking at Uranus going direct in that gate where it’s just like, this is all bullshit. The bullshit has to go for the eighth gate to be in alignment. There’s no room for anything to be contrived. So we kick it off fast and furious with all of this. And then the next time, I mean, we have, obviously, you know, the sun is going to transit from the human design perspective. The sun transits from the 8th to the 12th. We’re in gate 49, which is, you know, one half of that channel that were just talking about. This is the gate of principles. This is really about the principles. 

Nicole Laino
So even when you lose the channel, you’re still getting that same type of, you know, this is what we stand for and we don’t stand for it for me, I stand for it for us. Like that’s the difference between the 49th gate and then just having, you know, convictions, which would be over in the Identity Center. This is an emotional thing. This is an emotional tie to tribal energy. I stand for this for us. And then from the 13th to the 18th, we go into another emotional gate. We’re traveling through the solar plexus. Like I said, this is just a very emotional month we’re going to master. Every February we’re asked to master our emotions. So if you’re not emotional, you’re going to be going through emotional things. This might be a little rough for non emotionals when they. 

Nicole Laino
There’s a lot of emotional energy. I was talking to a client today on our, one of our calls, on our coaching calls, and I said, you know, when you get something in the transits, a lot of times it’s like a new bike or something that you’ve never ridden. You know, you might be wobbly at first, but eventually you get it and you’re like, okay, I know how to do this. Hopefully that’s how you get through February, is that you’re wobbly at first, but after you make it all the way through, it’s like, oh, I know how to ride this. Like, we got a little bit wiser about our emotions. We got a little less reactive, we got a little bit more in touch with them, which is what emotional authorities are always doing. We have to be. 

Nicole Laino
Because we live like this, we live emotional. So gate 30 in that middle week from the 13th to the 18th is called clinging Fire. This is the Gate of the Fates, or the fear of the Fates is really what it’s associated with, which is just this feeling of there might be some disappointment that comes with this. It’s sort of known for disappointment. And just know that disappointment is kind of. It’s an energetic frequency with this thing. It isn’t necessarily that the thing that you’re doing isn’t really gonna work. You’re just probably going to feel like it’s not going to work. So you might have this, like, attack of crisis of like, oh, God, it’s all so hard. It didn’t work. The expectations weren’t met. And this is the killer of desire. 

Nicole Laino
Because that’s really what this gate is about, is to really have a burning desire for something. But the fear is, why should I do it at all? Because the hand of God is just going to come down and slap it out of my hand and make me feel like, what did I bother for? So maybe I should just stay home. Resist that if that starts to come up for you, because that is. It’s a byproduct of the energy and it makes you feel that way about the things that are happening in your life. It isn’t actually necessarily a reflection of what is happening in your life. I hope that makes sense. 

Christina Luna
It’s always so wild whenever we have these types of conversations where we sort of compliment and piggyback onto each other’s vision. Because let me tell you, I have it clocked that between February 8th and the 14th, we are going to experience a byproduct of expansion. So that first week we. We do these changes, right? And as soon as you change something, especially if it’s an expansion, you will run into these bars of limitation. And it’s what you were saying, like the hand of God sweeps in, there will be this bar of limitation that shows up that week. And the thing that I always like to think about during this specific week of Aquarius season is any limitations we have or we perceive. They’re usually beliefs that we don’t question because we have to be right about them. 

Christina Luna
We have to be right about a belief. And so we don’t question a belief. And that belief, the reason we have to be right about it is because it protects us in some way to be right about that. And so we could, gosh, I’ve expanded. I’ve made that step. I’ve done that thing. Oh, but here’s that regulation. Here’s that whatever that came back again, that’s stopping my path. So when we feel that week, we’re supposed to ask ourselves, is this something that I think I have to be right about? How does it serve me if I’m right about this limitation? And it can actually start dissolving the parameters of reality, which this year will be really interesting because Saturn enters Aries on February 13, and already Neptune enters Aries right before February starts. 

Christina Luna
So we’ve got the Saturn and Neptune in Aries, and that is when we actually start to see the real, tangible matrix of reality. And so when we get into the next week, the 16th through the, like, 20th or so, the 20th gives us that Saturn, Aries conjunction. Saturn, Neptune, Aries, and the solar eclipse in Aquarius. I think that because we run into the barriers, because we question those bars of belief, and we start to dissolve them, I think it steps us into this really strange sensation. Like, you know, the sensation when you step into a new timeline, and all of a sudden, like, everything’s sort of different. Like, I recently had this where my truck is saying, please refuel, instead of how many miles I have left to go. 

Christina Luna
Like, little tiny mandala effects are happening because the constraints of reality have suddenly softened and melted and changed. That, I think, is what’s coming. And it could feel very scary. It could feel like we’re in a nightmare. It could feel like we’re waking up from a nightmare. We could be wondering, was that real or was this real? Like, there’s very kind of fluid time. And when you talk about mastering emotions, I think the emotion we’re mastering the most is the fear of uncertainty, the fear of what happens if that thing actually isn’t a true bar or barrier obstacle in my life. What would even be possible for me if that wasn’t even true? 

Nicole Laino
Yeah, I like everything that you’re saying about, like, the limitations and the way that I phrase that question to myself. And when I have clients that come to me that are kind of facing something like this, I always say, how is this limitation protecting me? What is it protecting me, and what is it protecting me from feeling? Because usually it’s something that we don’t want to feel that we are afraid of. So whatever the thing is that you’re afraid of, you know, happening, you’re afraid of it happening because you don’t want to feel something that will happen when that happens. So if you can back into that and start to notice, that’s my favorite type of question to ask for that. Just a different way of approaching exactly what you were talking about. I was like, oh, that’s like. I ask it like this. 

Christina Luna
Oh, my gosh, that’s such a perfect way to ask it. 

Nicole Laino
Yes, I had that circled. I was like, February 17, when Neptune, Saturn goes into Aries, but for us, it’s gate 25. I’ve been talking ad nauseam about gate 25 and Neptune and gate 25 for quite some time because it moves real slow. And now Saturn has joined the party. And to me, I talked about this in the Human Design New Year episode. But to me, what that feels like is gate 25 is just what I was talking about the triggering. Where are we triggered? Moved from Pisces and into gate 25. Because gate 25, weirdly, certain lines are in Pisces and certain lines are in Aries. So we have this straddling thing happening. When I looked at neptune in gate 25, everything that I kept thinking was, what’s behind the veil? What are we not looking at? 

Nicole Laino
What is the blind spot that we have here? And the blind spot is that as a society as a whole and culture as a whole, we’re not seeing how much unfelt feelings are playing out in what we think are situations, but all they are is dramatized feelings that we are seeing social media. Like, that’s like the story under the story, which is sort of like how I think about Neptune, is like, you know, what’s behind what’s. What’s the wizard behind the curtain really doing? Just pulling some levers. Right? The wizard behind the Curtain is Gate 25, which Gate 25 is the gate that says, there is no them, there’s only us. And it’s. Exactly. And why can’t we see that? We can’t see that because we’re all so broken. 

Nicole Laino
And we’re not broken, but we are bruised and we are wounded and we are hurt. And because we don’t want to see the hurt and we don’t want to feel the hurt, it’s so much easier to look out in the world through that lens of our wound and just see pain. And when we do, we go, I can’t have that. Where can I put it? I’m going to put it on you. I’m going to put it on you. The same reason I don’t just share things on social media. Because it hurts. I sit with how much it hurts. And then if I can’t come up with the words to tell you why it hurts, I don’t put it out there. Because then I’m Just doing what everybody else does. 

Nicole Laino
So I feel like this is like Saturn is saying like, oh, we go and deal with this now. You gonna feel it. I’m not gonna let it go. When I saw that was how that felt me. Like, you need to sit down, child, because we gonna feel this pain. You’re gonna sit with what you’ve done and we’re gonna get through this. Trust me, we’ll all be all right. 

Christina Luna
Oh my gosh. We are all like fun in games and laughing about this right now because we’re not there yet. 

Nicole Laino
We’re not there. 

Christina Luna
We’re all gonna be holding ourselves like little newborn babies. 

Nicole Laino
I just wanna. Because the Shadow of Gate 25 too. I think it’s funny cause actually I just said like you saying like we’ the shadow of this. It’s the gate of innocence, which it’s what it really wants in its shadow is like to not deal with all of it and just crawl back in the womb. What if we could all just live on a commune and we don’t need money and then we just all just like, why do we have to deal with any of this? Could it all just go away? Like that’s what 825 wants to do. And I don’t think Saturn is going to allow us to do that. 

Christina Luna
No way. Saturn is going to say, nope. Here’s the thing. You have a body. You can only live for about two and a half minutes without air. If you don’t have water, you will also die. And food is important. You’re going to feel a lot of things and of the human experience and you’re not escaping it. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah, exactly. So mark that on your calendars. The middle of the month might feel a little emotional. It might feel a little. It might feel confronting, I think might be the word. And you know, this is when I know I will be. But when I see gate 25, like when I see people who have this in like a really strong place in their chart, like a conscious sun. If you’re a vessel of love person, you know, I’m like, you need to feel your feelings. You need to as like a way of being yourself and finding yourself. So whatever tools you use, eft, breathwork, you know, all of the nervous. There’s no shortage of them out there. Go stock up and make sure that you have something that you can plug into. Because that’s our assignment for a while. 

Christina Luna
It’s also very like raw and instinctive. And again, we bring that word authenticity. I know we’ve people say it all up and down. But babies literally can’t perform. They are so authentic. They have no performative bone in their body. And that’s sort of what we’re being confronted with during this window of time as well. And when we get to the week out, I mean, I think it’s going to be such a strong, visible, obvious, energetic line that we’re crossing by February 20th, that when we get into the week after that and Mercury retrogrades, I think we’re going to be going through a massive reconstruction of our relationship with. It’ll be as though we’re all just realizing we have bodies. We’re moving about the world, like, fumbling around, learning the new parameters of our body. You know what it reminds me of? 

Christina Luna
You know, when they first got into their avatar bodies. 

Nicole Laino
Yes. 

Christina Luna
How he got into his body, he’s like, whoa, this is amazing. Bumbling around and, like, excited. I mean, it’s not all bad energies. It’s all, like, new energies. It’s new terrain, it’s new expression. It’s new sensations that maybe we’ve never even thought we could feel in these bodies before. So there’s kind of like a learning curve here. Like, imagine waking from, like, a medically induced coma, and your faculties are coming back online one after another, and you’ve gotta learn to swallow and you’ve gotta learn to walk again because you. You know, there’s this recovery period, and I think we’re gonna be using the Mercury retrograde in Pisces to sort of find our bearings again and find our emotional intelligence again. And it’s not going to last forever. 

Christina Luna
I think by the end of February, we’ll kind of get into a space where we’re like, all right, okay, I can kind of swim here. I’m getting the hang of this. 

Nicole Laino
I can function. I can do this. Yeah. I wanted to mention. So from February 24 to March 1, this one, we have the sun and the Earth. So the sun is going to be in gate 37, and gate 37 comes with. The earth will be in gate 40. So we get that channel. That is a channel. That is the channel of community. That is the channel that runs from the ego center to the solar plexus. So the 37 is another emotional gate, the gate of loyalty. Everything in human design has a thousand names, but I look at it like the gate of loyalty, and then that’s what it’s about. And then gate 40 is the gate of aloneness or determination. 

Nicole Laino
This is like emotional support in the solar plexus and material support in 40 I will work hard for you and take care of us, but I will also remember to take care of myself. And 37 says, I will emotionally take care of you. And 37, that’s also our nodes. So what I think is interesting here is that the nodes are going to be in this, I think, till, like, June or something. The nodes are in this channel. So we’re all going to be emotional for quite some time. And this channel of community, this is the channel that’s going away in 2027. That’s not going away, but it’s not going to be part of the greater program like it is right now. This is part of the background frequency we are all feeling for the last 400 years. 

Nicole Laino
We are no longer going to feel that background frequency in 2027. So almost a year from now, and now the sun and the Earth. So who we are, like, what we’re really feeling as our energy, plus the nodes, which is what we are seeing. And this channel, I talked about this again in the Human Design New Year episode. But this channel, if you think about it as, like, what we are feeling and then what we are seeing out in the world, what we are seeing is do the institutions that we have still work? And gate 37 being, like, the leader of this, being in the North Node and then being the Sun Gate, having, you know, a bit of a stronger representation in this pairing, in this configuration, what it asks of us is, do we care enough? 

Nicole Laino
Because gate 37, what’s interesting about it is it’s like, it’s a gate of caring, but it’s caring, like, within a system, it says, you know, like gate 37, when it sees something wrong, it goes, well, what can we do about this? So this doesn’t happen to other kids. This is like the energy that. This is the energy that created, like, homeless shelters. 8:37 is like, that’s like. That is such a 40:37 thing. We’re going to have shelters and we’re going to have these. You know, we’re going to have a government that has systems so that it takes care of people because that’s what they exist for. And when something doesn’t go right. So, like, right now, if we are all finding ourselves looking out in the world and going, isn’t somebody going to do something about this? That’s what this is. 

Nicole Laino
And this is like our last hurrah with this. And I just think it’s very interesting that the universe has given us this last go around with this, like, in the last year, that this is going to be everybody’s program, like, running in the background, that we’re all getting a chance that’s bringing it right front and center for us to look at it and say, because I think everything that we’re given in transits and in the energies, it’s so we can learn to work with them. It’s so we can embody what’s truthful for us, what’s right for us, so we can work with these energies and come out better on the other side, hopefully. So if we have that kind of way of looking at it, what does community mean for us? I think February is really, like, closing out with that theme. 

Nicole Laino
And then, of course, we’re going to keep that in the nodes for quite some time. But having it stacked up where it’s both the energy we’re in and the same movie we’re all watching, that was interesting to me. And then, yes, in that same week, Mercury will go retrograde for about a month. And so we’re gonna get a slowdown, I think, right there at the end of the month, where it’s just kind of gonna ask us to reflect on what February was. 

Christina Luna
You triggered a bunch of interesting threads while you were speaking just now. I get the sense from all of the people I’ve worked with in the last decade or so, I get the sense that. That a very high percentage of people feel a soul calling. Like, they feel like they’ve got this thing that their soul really wants to do in this lifetime, and they’re wondering what that thing is and when it’s going to actually happen. And for some people, that soul calling feels really big. It feels like a idealized vision mission that’s, like, so much bigger than. Than them individually being able to bring to fruition. It feels as though it’s gonna take kind of a lot of people stepping into their soul mission to weave it all together. 

Christina Luna
And when you were speaking just now, I feel like maybe this period of time in Pisces season, even though we’re not quite there yet, and this, like, disruption we’re feeling societally in our world. But as we look out at the world and we say, isn’t someone gonna do something? 

Nicole Laino
Mm. 

Christina Luna
This month is about pulling that soul mission all the way to the surface, even if it’s grandiose and acknowledging that we have done quite a bit of work in alignment with our soul mission. We’ve collected lots of different little tools and magic and skills and people, and perhaps it’s time for us to weave it all together and declare something that we believe we want to bring to the world. And I think entrepreneurs have been doing this. Like we do these practices constantly. I believe this is possible for people and I’m helping to bridge people from this place to this place. It’s like we’ve been practicing and practicing and maybe this is the time where we actually take the bigger pieces, the biggest piece possible, and we acknowledge it, we find community to really work on it. 

Christina Luna
We realize that we’re not meant to necessarily be pillars all by ourselves doing this mission, that perhaps several pillars come together to create something that will actually make a giant difference. I mean, I know I’m speaking pretty grandiose, but what if this is the time for grandiose conversations? And since you’re saying that this energy will be leaving us in 27, what if this is the year that we go ahead and go for it and take the next 20 year cycle to bring it into the world? 

Nicole Laino
And that’s kind of what I mean. Thank you for sharing that. Like, I totally feel all of that. And that’s what I mean about, you know, giving us this last hurrah with this energy, like really putting it in our face and laying it down. Because there are some people that believe that when it goes away forever. And I don’t believe that, like we’ve lived with it for 400 years as a species. Obviously all of us have lived with it our entire lives, but it’s up to us to carry it on. You know, when the training wheels come off, can you still ride the bike? Most people, yes. But if you didn’t know there were training wheels there, I don’t know, maybe you fall over. So maybe this is giving us that opportunity to see it. 

Nicole Laino
Maybe things have to get really bad where we start to say, like, that’s not what I meant by keeping us safe. I didn’t mean like that. We still gotta take care of people. We still have to give a shit about our neighbors and how we treat people and, you know, basic human dignity and liberty. I do think that we are probably going to be called to dream things up again. So there’s always been this big, like, conversation about, you know, how everything would come crashing down in 2027. I don’t think it all comes crashing down, Nessus. I don’t think it has to come crashing down. I should say, like, they’re like, it has to, like, I don’t know if it all has to come crashing down like a demolition. I think things can be truly reimagined and yes, probably. 

Nicole Laino
It needs to get pretty bad for us to make those tough decisions, because we all know that when something is so far along, we look at it, we go. It’s too complicated to fix. Let’s just break the whole thing. And I think this is asking us, like, well, what do we really care about? Do we care enough? And does my soul’s mission, like, do we need other people? Like, that’s what this is all about. It’s the channel of community. It’s not the channel of me. It’s not the channel of me being awesome and working and doing all this myself. This is a channel of working together to build something that lasts, that benefits us all. That’s what it’s about. I take care of you take care of me. And what does that bargain look like? We have it with governments. 

Nicole Laino
I pay my taxes, you give me these services. I have these rights. I get to vote, I get to do these things. That’s the bargain. Right? Is that bargain being upheld? I think that’s what we’re being called to this year, is we’re going to look at what bargains are being upheld and which ones are not and renegotiating, so to speak, or rebuilding in a way that we feel like we can go forward. But the bargain that goes away in 2027, that background frequency, it might be that they are not inherent like they were at one point where it was just a given. We might have to work for them now, and maybe, hopefully we learned to do that. We developed the skills that we don’t need the training wheels to. 

Nicole Laino
To be kind to each other and take care of each other and not make it every man for himself. Yeah, I guess we’ll see. Anything else that you wanted to share with the people for February? 

Christina Luna
Usually I have a really clear thing. 

Nicole Laino
Maybe we said it all. 

Christina Luna
I think so. I mean, I guess if there was something. I always go back to this feeling that there’s a compass inside of me and I know my compass is pointing true north. And so there’s trust. I trust the compass. I trust that I’m alive in a time where I’m supposed to be alive. Even if things are crazy out in the world for some reason, I trust the trajectory of where this is going. Even if I do not understand how we’re getting there. 

Nicole Laino
I trust. Now I have to look at your human design chart because there might be something in there that is where this is coming from. I’m going to look at this. While I say this, I always say, like, February always, like this month always surprises me. Every year I get surprised. No, you don’t have it. I thought you were going to have the same nodes as me. I forgot you’re a whole year younger than me. That’s why I thought it was something about your perspective. I have a perspective that literally my nodal perspective is like, everything works out in the end. It might look really bad, it might get really ugly, but we always come out okay on the other side. But I don’t think that is a given. I think it’s something that we have to work at. 

Nicole Laino
And I think what we’re being shown now is where that work needs to take place and be concentrated and where we can’t take for granted that these systems will just work and take care of us and people will abide by the rules. 

Christina Luna
Yeah, we’ve got to show up and follow the compass of action when we’re called to. 

Nicole Laino
Exactly. I think the only thing I’ll say is that whenever we do these readings, I guess it’s been. This is our third year going around with these now. Whenever we do these readings. In February, like, I went back and I’m taking a look at some of my journals and stuff. February always feels like this. Like, oh, I better brace myself. And it always goes way different. It is so unpredictable. But it always goes better than I think it will. Like, I think it will. I think I’m going to have trouble. I think there’s always going to be these bad things or whatever happening, and that never really materializes. And I think that’s, you know, and I think if you’re somebody who is. If you’re doing your own inner work, like you and I have been doing our own inner work for a long time. 

Nicole Laino
And I think that’s why you can weather storms well, and that you don’t feel rocked by things as much. But, you know, if you’re nervous about this stuff, like the inner work, I don’t think is going to be optional anymore. I think the inner work is required coursework in life at this point if you are going to. Because things we are seeing just crazy things happen and crazy energy and just all of these things that are happening. It’s getting rocky out there. And for you to not feel that as much like this is going to be when you want to double down on your emotional work, on your inner work. But do you have anything you want to share? What do you have going on? Where can people find stuff about you? Tell them all the things. 

Christina Luna
I’ll definitely be Posting on Instagram. I actually am going to. I’m probably going to be stepping into a new, more visible, local kind of initiative. I’ve been mostly posting vibe pictures with a little bit of vibe words about what’s going on in that current moment. But I’ve been feeling like I need to be using my voice more. And so, and I. That might come in the form of a podcast eventually. 

Nicole Laino
Okay. 

Christina Luna
Definitely a call for more verbal expression. So, yeah, I’m. I’m still just plugging along on Instagram. I’ve got my. My happy little corner of Instagram that I put energy into. So follow me there @lunation.live, if you don’t already follow me. I’m in between quarterly readings. I’ll be recording the next quarterly reading starting in the beginning of March. So if people feel like they want to get into the next quarter, they can contact me in February and get into that.

Nicole Laino
They’re fabulous. You should get in on that, by the way. Get on the wait list for the quarterly readings. But I want to hear. We’re going to have to chat privately about this podcast Visibility. What, you know, using your voice more. I’m very excited. Like, I got all excited about that. I love your vibey stuff. I really do, because it does. It feels like a breath of fresh air on Instagram because everything is so Instagrammy and yours is so not Instagrammy. Yours is like. It’s like, you know, my artist friend comes through and, like, shares something, like, cool and weird and I love the weird and I love your music choices and stuff like that. So to me, it speaks to my heart and reminds me of how cool my friend is. 

Nicole Laino
But I respect the fact of, like, you’re thinking about putting yourself out there more. I like that. 

Christina Luna
It definitely won’t be formulaic and it definitely won’t be, like, super polished Instagram y. Because I just. Authenticity, I’m telling you, authenticity is the vibe. And I feel like the world is ready for it just at a time when I’m actually ready to meet the world in that place. 

Nicole Laino
