Episode 455:



Nicole Laino
Hello, and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, everybody. I’m your host, Nicole Laino, and I am here today with the lovely, talented, and beautiful Ms. Christina Luna. Welcome, Christina. How are you, my love? 

Christina Luna
Hello, Nicole. Thank you. I was just sharing a little bit about how I’m definitely in Pisces season. I’m definitely in Mercury retrograde mode. I feel a little less grounded and. 

Nicole Laino
Are you in the water? 

Christina Luna
I’m in the water. I’m in a hot spring somewhere. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah. I feel like I have spent so much time getting comfortable in the water over the last probably year. Plus, where it’s been, there’s just been a lot of water ness for me where I’ve had to get really comfortable with that. But I totally get it. I remember we go through these seasons, right? Where it’s like, oh, this is my path right now. This is like, I’m becoming comfortable with this. I’m learning to work with this. So grace, girl. Give yourself some grace. 

Christina Luna
That’s the word. 

Nicole Laino
Great. It is. And, you know, for, like, both of us being sun and Virgo people and then north node Virgo people, that’s kind of our life lesson, right? Is to give ourselves some grace and not have it need to be so perfect. I mean, shit, I got Saturn in Virgo. Like, there’s just. 

Christina Luna
Yeah, me too. 

Nicole Laino
You have Saturn in Virgo? 

Christina Luna
Yeah. 

Nicole Laino
I mean, we should have, like, a weekly therapy session, just the two of us, like, talking ourselves out of our shit. But maybe that’s what these are a little bit for us, too, that we just invite other people in on. 

Christina Luna
Want to watch a couple Virgos work it out? Very analytically. 

Nicole Laino
I was going to say, it’s probably why we are good at things like podcasting and talking about what we do, because all we do is think about this shit. 

Christina Luna
Yeah. 

Nicole Laino
And we’re always analyzing or always breaking it down. And we’re trying to find a better way to do pretty much everything in our lives. So why not share it and help other people? Because we are a sign of service. 

Christina Luna
You just saw me so deeply. 

Nicole Laino
I see you, girl. I see you. I am you. It’s why when we met, I was like, we need to do something together. I’m feeling this energy And I didn’t know shit about your chart at that point. I was just like, I think this is the power, too, of like attracts, like. We vibe with people. We just get a sense. You and I couldn’t be more different in so many other ways. But there is this fundamental core of like, oh, we’re. We’re here, babe, you and me. So we are technically in. We are in February right now, but we have technically crossed over, and we are into the Pisces realm now, officially. So you’re feeling the water. I’m feeling it too, a little bit. I felt a little bit of like, that. It’s not a pause, but like, there was a go, go. 

Nicole Laino
And then it’s like, oh, wait, but hang out for a second. Let’s just. Let’s pull back a little bit. And I felt that happen. And I think I’m always grateful for this knowledge because in five years ago, Nicole would have been like, what’s wrong? Why do I feel different? I have to push harder. Everything is just getting harder. And I would have gone into, like, a freakout mode about the fact that I was so productive before and I’m not productive now. What’s wrong? And I would have started to analyze that, overanalyze it, and tried to fix it versus riding the wave and letting what’s here be here and give me what I need to move forward in alignment, going forward. So. But we’re kicking off the month. Like, we’re talking about March, which is really crazy. I’m like, we’re already at March. 

Nicole Laino
But I have felt like. It’s very funny. The first two months of this year have felt like they’ve moved. Like a lot has happened yet. I. And they feel like they moved fast. Yet I’m like, oh. But I feel like they were, like, jam packed with stuff. Whereas, like, the end of last year felt like, where did it go? What happened? Like, September to December was just like, wait, it’s what? It’s Christmas. 

Christina Luna
How. 

Nicole Laino
Where did the whole fall thing go? And then. But now it feels like. It feels like the first of the year was, like, eternity ago, yet there’s just a very different pace. It’s quickened with, like. It just feels very different. It feels easier to move through. For me, that’s been my own personal experience that it’s feeling like there has been this. It didn’t feel as deep and introspective as basically all of last year did, where it felt like were kind of, like, repairing so much throughout the year and shedding and this year felt like, no, no, we’re getting moving again. We’re getting moving again. We’re getting moving again. 

Nicole Laino
And so it feels like every day has more in it that there is more to these two months where I feel like, oh, I again, Virgo me is like, oh, I feel like I’m getting a lot done and I still have time to take care of myself. Like, I feel like I’m moving very efficiently. I’ll use that word. It feels efficient. You know, it doesn’t feel like that slow slog that last year felt like a little bit. This one feels like, oh, no. I feel like there’s purpose to the things that I’m doing. I don’t feel confused. You know, I sent you a text a couple weeks ago when Neptune crossed over into Aries, and you and I being, you know, Virgos and with our south node in Pisces and all of that. I sent you that text, and I was like. 

Nicole Laino
I feel like. The way I put it, I think was. I was like, I feel like I’ve been running. Like, my legs broke. Like, I was, like, paralyzed. And I learned to, like, run paralyzed somehow. Like, I crack. Rigged some things together and put fake legs or something. And I learned to run, and I forgot my legs were broken because I was just doing it. And then somebody gave me new legs, and now I feel like I. Holy shit. Like, I can move again. That’s how it feels like. It felt like a fog lifted, and I knew that was coming from. Like, I knew the transit was changing. I knew what was happening. And then we had Saturn move into Aries as well. Again, out of. You know, we’re Virgo, Saturn, people that moved. 

Nicole Laino
And I felt this big, like, those two changes, it was like, I didn’t feel like. Like, you get used to things. I had normalized the fog, and I had gotten good at working with it. And now that it’s gone, I’m like, oh, this is like a whole new world. Like, I was, like, dancing in my house. 

Christina Luna
It feels so pretty magnificent. 

Nicole Laino
Have you been feeling similarly? 

Christina Luna
Well, I had to look. I had to look up your chart. Cause I was like, where does she have this? I was like, hold on. I didn’t necessarily feel like dancing, but the reason that you did is because the Neptune. Saturn moving into Aries energy is in your fifth house of joy, the house of Venus. It’s playfulness. It’s what makes life worth living. It’s the joy. And so, yeah, you’ve got a new dawn in this area of joy. And you know, Pisces transits as a whole. I have something to say now about Pisces. Transits are often the way that we cope with having things out of our control. So when we don’t have everything in control, like, Virgo loves to manage the tangible reality and have control over tangible reality. 

Christina Luna
Pisces definitely shows you that you don’t have control over 80% of your subconscious reality. And so during Pisces seasons or if you have a long Pisces transit, you’re gonna deal with not having a certain level of energy or autonomy or control. And so you learning how to run and dance with broken legs was kind of like, how does your soul find what it can control within the parameters you’ve been given? And you found a way to celebrate with resistance bands on your joy. And so now that those resistant bands are off, the joy is just so easy for you. And so if I’m thinking about, like, it’s like we get this dawn in Aries energy, and so we had this kind of burst of expansion energy. 

Christina Luna
But then we get this really deep Pisces season with a Mercury retrograde and with eclipses, and, you know, we’ve got this little bubble of energy for the next three weeks until Aries season officially begins. You know, paying attention to what we do when we have to let the reins go. What do we have control over, and what do we not have control over, and how do we respond to that? 

Nicole Laino
Yeah. And so what’s something that people can look at? So we’re talking about this. What’s something that people could look at in their own chart to get a glimpse of? Like, if they’re feeling something similar or maybe they’re feeling the opposite. I know some people might have. Things might feel tougher rather than feeling like me, where they feel like the veil was lifted. It might actually feel like the veil came over them. So that would be people who. Where maybe it’s an Aries because Neptune has moved into Aries. Or can you go through that a little bit just to give everybody just a quick glimpse into maybe some of the highlights? 

Christina Luna
Yeah, I definitely. There’s two very different energies going on at the same time. One of them is you can see the tangible reality that was a little bit hard for you to see before. So some people are looking really strongly at their finances or their health. Their. Like, there are very clear, evident experiences happening right now that are completely undeniable. And you can even look at the public arena. There’s undeniable evidence of certain things in the public arena right now. And so that’s one energy. And it in some ways that feels great, but also that can feel really hard because if you are a person that was denying certain variables of reality for a long time, or making up your own like fiction, fantasy about reality, this could be very disillusioning right now. 

Christina Luna
It could feel very like, oh no, I have to deal with this now. So at the same time, as much as you’re willing to deal with it, there’s this other energy that’s saying, and not all of it is up to your will. You can’t just decide that you’re going to change something with all, with your grit and your will. There’s still a matter of co creation with forces beyond our control. And so how do we suddenly see something with real eyes, want to actually be in relationship with it responsibly, and then only have as much power as a human will has in relationship to the entire universe. So that is, for some of us, that’s gonna feel wonderful. And for some of us, that’s gonna feel really hard. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah. So if you’re feeling that way, you know, I think the answer is always to just sort of, you know, relax into these things and allow. The more you try to control, take it from me, somebody who loves control, it prolongs that terrible feeling. But so let’s. Should we dive into March, what we’ve got going on? Cause there’s quite a bit. Well, we kick it off. Cause you know, why would we want to be boring With a lunar eclipse on March 3 in Virgo, here it is. And for human design, this will be in Gate 64, which is my conscious sun. So we’ll add a little bit of extra lessons on there. For me, a little bit more letting go. 

Nicole Laino
And you know, for me, what was sort of coming through with that, like looking at it, I was like, oh, what gate is it falling into? And I’m like, of course it’s falling into your sun gate, Nicole. So it’s like right on my node, on my sun. So this is like truly an eclipse for me. It’s like right on top of it. And for me, what was coming through was, you know, this is obviously this is my life’s homework is this confusion gate. And what it really means that, you know, there’s part of it is about, you know, realizing that you don’t have to go it alone, that you can get really trapped in your mind. 

Nicole Laino
And I think that something that will be called to us here is going to be to relax in the mind and to let go of having to figure it all out and having to figure it all out mentally and having to figure it out all by yourself. That, you know, maybe it isn’t found in a book, maybe it isn’t found. And I think that you know this because when we get trapped in our head, we can tend to feel very alone and we can tend to feel like the answer is here if I just keep thinking about it. And the truth is that you have to let go for the answer to follow in. You have to create enough space for the answer to flow through you. So releasing that control. 

Nicole Laino
And I think that when we get stuck in our head, we tend to not ask for help, we tend to not reach out. And this might be a place where, you know, you’re asking yourself, where could I maybe get help right now? Where could I maybe releasing this confusion or letting go of this confusion might come through a very simple phone call or a conversation with somebody, or just asking them for help, or even not asking them for help, but just talking to them and seeing what happens from that interaction. So those are some of the things that were coming through for me, aside from all of the other, like how are we letting go of the perfectionism that is Virgo? But how about for you? What are you thinking for this eclipse, 

Christina Luna
This first week of March? We’re building emotional maturity. We’re like rebuilding emotional maturity. And there’s going to be a lot of backwards ways of approaching emotional maturity, ways that it’s all going to be a little counterintuitive. So if you write something on that week, it would be have patience for counterintuitive awareness and maturity. And I can give an example of that in a minute. But let me talk about what goes on astrologically. Basically we have both Mars and Venus changing signs. So Mars is going to move into Pisces and Venus is going to move into Aries. These are not comfortable places for Mars or Venus. Mars doesn’t see a linear way to go in Pisces. This is very much like what do I do when I don’t have control over all the circumstances. 

Christina Luna
And so Mars is having to take notes from Venus ways of being, which is openness, faith, receptivity, trust, flow, etc. And then Venus is moving into Aries, and Venus in Aries, she wants harmony, she wants peace, but she’s gonna feel things strongly that she can’t ignore. She’s gonna feel things viscerally that she’s gonna get a sword out to, you know, defend and Speak about. There’s gonna. It’s gonna be undeniable and it’s gonna be physical and somatic. And so how are we gonna have physical somatic feelings? With a non linear approach to solving these feelings, we’re gonna have to grow our awareness of what arises, accept what’s arising and acknowledge what’s arising without a desire to change it. It’s these three A’s. I learned them through this alchemy course I took a few years back. 

Christina Luna
And it came to me this week that we’re gonna need that. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah, it is interesting, the placements of those. And you know, that whole week happens the second through the seventh happens when the sun is in gate 63 in human design, which is the Gate of Doubt. And I think that sort of plays very much with Venus and Mars not being in their harmonious place. Like Mars is like, wait, where’s the path? What are we gonn? I don’t see action here. And Pisces is saying, what action? You know, Pisces reminds me of. Like I always get this vision in my head of my husband always talked about like going to festivals and how you would, you know, you’d go to a festival and everybody’s high and stuff and you go up and you’d be like, you know, do you know what time it is? Because before anybody had phones because we’re old. 

Nicole Laino
And he’d be like, time, man, there’s no time that’s like that to me. It’s just like what I get in my head when I think of a Pisces and I’m thinking Mars in Pisces. Just like, no, what’s the time? I just need to know what time it is. They’re like, no, time man. That’s what I see there. And then Venus being in this place where it is about power and initiation and stuff and she wants to chill out. And the 63rd gate, I think will add to this a bit that Piscean energy of just. It’s the one that says like, are we gonna do that? No, are we gonna do that? So that second guessing might be there of ourselves. And I think that’s really about. If you could take the lessons of those three gates. 

Nicole Laino
It’s this 36 gate, the Gate of Crisis, the 55th gate, the gate of Abundance, which is about emotional maturity. And you were talking about that. And then 63, the gate of Doubt. When you put all of these together, it’s very much about trusting and not feeling like you need to move because it’s uncomfortable and not playing the victim because things aren’t working out for you. And trusting that if you ask good questions, it’s a time for great questions, not a time necessarily possibly for answers. 

Christina Luna
Exactly. Because the full moon lunar eclipse in Virgo is going to say, you might not know the right answer. You might used to think you knew the right answer, but you don’t anymore. And then we also have a sun cazimi with Mercury. Mercury is retrograde. It’s going to come to that Cazimi. That’s always a time when we have a chance to short circuit the way that we used to think. So we may exhaust ourselves trying to figure things out this week. And the reason I say it’s time for emotional maturity is because if we’re the types of people who cope intellectually with emotions, this is a week where we won’t be able to cope with our emotions intellectually. The reason I am so good at astrology is because I used astrology to cope with my emotions. I was like, there’s an engine line on. 

Christina Luna
I don’t understand it. I better find a map that tells me why I’m feeling the way I do. And so, you know, always these times a year are good reminders of, like, it’s not an emergency to have feelings. It’s not an emergency to feel confused. It’s not an emergency to not know what to do. Like, these are vulnerable experiences and everyone has them. 

Nicole Laino
I think it’s also sort of like, you know, talk about how nobody gives themselves a chance to be bored now. And boredom and confusion. Like, gate of confusion. My land and what this eclipse is going to be in, it says that in the uncertainty, in this space of boredom, in the space of space, that is where enlightenment can happen. It is the high gift of 64 we talk about. It’s the gate of confusion is what it’s called, which is terrible. And. But the gift is imagination, and the high gift is illumination. So you can only let the light in and illuminate if you create enough space for it to come through. If you are pushing, it will not come. So there is a lesson of. Of releasing. And. And I think when we think of releasing, we think of giving up. 

Nicole Laino
We think of, like, we’re accepting that nothing will happen right now. And what if you could switch that and say, what if the thing that will help the next level drop in the download, the thing that you want is to just create some space for it. And I think that’s very much in alignment with, like, the age that we’re moving into too, where things are about less about hustle. People are valuing different things. The systems are changing. We are shifting the way that we buy. We are shifting the way that we create. We are shifting the way we do everything and we take in things. This could be kind of an essential lesson and initiation into a new way here. 

Nicole Laino
And like you said with that sun, Mercury, Cazimi just that changing the way that we think, changing the way that we like, what if we’re breaking the old way? 

Christina Luna
Yeah. And we end that week with a couple of really strong conjunctions with Venus. So she’s now and she comes to Neptune and then she comes to Saturn. And the second week of March is hopefully we’ve surrendered to this reorganization that’s going on. We’ve surrendered to putting ourselves in the other person’s shoes and seeing. Seeing the coin flipped and reversing the flow of our own movements. And what it actually allows us to do is fill ourselves up with even more of what makes life worth living. Like, I feel like there’s really strong opportunities and from March 8th to the 13th for feeling like we can really drink from the cup of deep emotional fulfillment maybe for the first time in our lives to the degree that we’re capable of. 

Nicole Laino
Yes. And I have. The sun is in gate 22, which is very much about that. It is about emotional intelligence, grace. It’s the gate of grace. It really is just about being able to take in fully the emotionality of whatever is in front of you and to process it, not run from it, not try to fix it, not try to do anything with it, not react, but to just sit and be with it. And that includes, like, sitting with, you know, an uncomfortable situation or something that is coming at you. You know, Gate 22 is part of the cross of rulership. And, you know, the 22nd gate, because it’s such a powerful, kind of like bombastic style cross. 

Nicole Laino
But the 22nd gate in it kind of story behind it is that, you know, well, if you’re going to rule, you must be a good listener who can actually empathize with people and who can actually. Who’s willing to feel and not just fall back on their power. That’s very much what that second week is about embodying that and sitting with that and being able to move with that. But, yeah, we have like a party in Pisces for a good portion of, like, for the start. And then there’s a whole Aries story starting on the 19th. Did you have anything for that myth middle week like the 13th through the 18th. 

Christina Luna
Yeah. Yes. There will be quite a few really strong conjunctions. So conjunctions are concentration of two energies. We’re gonna have the Mars north node conjunction. And so I think that will align our behavior, it’ll align our mission, it’ll align our focal point toward a spiritual calling. And once. I don’t know if you’ve ever had the experience you probably have because of the work you do. Do you remember that moment when you really understood what you wanted to express and be about on a soul level in this lifetime? 

Nicole Laino
Yes. At different points of like my own evolution. That gets clearer and deeper, but yes. 

Christina Luna
And as soon as you feel that, it kind of clicks you into this center that makes everything make sense. From that middle, you know exactly where to focus your energy, where to focus your attention, what to focus your. What to let in, what to entertain, what to create more. Yeah. What to say no to. Like there’s some kind of massive congruence that can lock in between March 13th, 15th, 17th with these conjunctions. It’s Mercury and Mars together. That’s the mind and the behavior, the hands and the mind together. Got Mercury conjunct the north node. That’s all of these conjunctions sort of give us this extra clarity of how we want to utilize. Everyone’s talking about the energy of the fire horse. We got into the fire horse, but guess what? We didn’t give our horse a mission yet. 

Christina Luna
We haven’t received the new operating mission or the direction or the coordinates in. And so we’re receiving those soul coordinates in that week. And it’s beautiful because Jupiter starts moving direct in Cancer, helping us to really wrap our hearts around what we care about. And then we have Mercury moving direct the same time that the sun moves into Aries that week leading up to the 20th. And so it sort of all empowers, clicks in, comes into congruence. And then it says yes. And this is, I think, the moment that everyone’s been waiting for. Everyone’s been like, where’s the fire horse? Not everyone. I think. I think I’ve been experiencing like, oh, I think my horse is kind of sleepy. I think my horse wants to sleep and rest a little before we head on our journey. 

Nicole Laino
I think it’s sort of like there’s been a lot of hype about the fire horse. And people thought that it was literally going to feel like they hopped onto like a rocket ship and they were instantly ejected into like July, you know, and like all of this was going to happen and it’s more of like, you know, I see it, like, kind of like as a fire. Fire starting to burn. But I do feel a difference between a halted energy and one that’s moving forward now. It’s just not moving forward as fast as people, I think, thought it would. But I think we also haven’t entered Aries season yet, which is the initiating. Sort of feel like that’s our first fire in this cycle. Right. Since moving over into the fire Horse. 

Nicole Laino
The first fire sign is gonna be, you know, this moment when we cross over into Aries. And I had that kind of marked here. And I think it’s very interesting. You know, I’ve talked a lot about the 25th gate. The 25th gate. You know, I’ve talked about this because Neptune has been hanging out here for a while. But the 25th gate is funny because it’s partially in Pisces and partially in Aries. If you are an earlier line, 25th gate, you’re a Pisces. If you are a later line, 25th gate, you are in Aries. So there’s, like, that little bit of nuance to it. So it’s almost like 25 is like. It’s like actively healing. That’s kind of how I see it, because it is about healing your wounds. It is about universal love. It is about being able to feel connected to everything. 

Nicole Laino
And when we go from, like, the watery side of it to the fire side is like, well, let’s do something with this. Let’s put this out here. That’s when we get into, like, the transpersonal side of it. So I had that marked here. I had the 19th, you know, those couple of days around there. You know, it’s like sun, moon, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron. They’re all in Aries and all hanging out there. So it’s like there’s just a lot of energy in this initiating fire sign. And so I just had it marked on here. Like, you know, like, this might feel like the gun went off and the race has started. 

Christina Luna
Yeah. You know, we have all that direct energy, and then on the 21st, we still have Mars in Pisces, and it’s trine to Jupiter in Cancer. So what I think is different about this gun going off is that the thing that’s fueling it is the. The water and love and care of the heart. There’s gonna be a balance between that feminine trust, that feminine receptivity, that love, that compassion, that. Well, of what makes life sweet and beautiful, fueling this action. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah. 

Christina Luna
And so I’M hopeful for it. I feel good about what’s happening. I feel very good about it. 

Nicole Laino
I do, too. There was that period in December where I felt like I was neither here nor there, and I was in this huge void where I was like, I don’t know. And stuff in the outside world is pretty dark. I don’t know how to feel about where we’re going. And now I feel like there’s sort of a balance that at least I’m personally feeling between, like, I’m doing. I feel like I’m doing a good job of showing up for the things that I can control, and I’m committed to that. And now that the fog has lifted, it’s making it easier for me personally to. To do that even better in a more intentional way. 

Nicole Laino
And I have learned to let go, or I’m getting better at letting go of the things that I cannot control and not allowing them to consume me in an unhealthy way. But I’m also, like, to be very clear, though, the things in the outside world that I’m not right next to, like, the political climate and all of that, I don’t see it all as, like, I can do nothing, so I’m going to pretend it’s not there. I’m actively involved in doing things that I can feel like I’m having, doing my part, but I’m also recognizing that I currently do not hold a seat in Congress. So that I can’t do. But I can call those motherfuckers and I can tell them what I think. You know, like, there’s little things like that. 

Nicole Laino
So I make sure that when I feel bad, I’m putting it into good action or good clearing. I’m looking at it, I’m feeling it. So that feels good and positive, I think, in the, you know, to the level that we can. Right. It’s like, I feel positive about my position and role at the moment and how I’m handling it, and that might be the best I can do. And, you know, I see this with clients, too, with business. There’s a lot of uncertainty. There’s a lot of, like, you know, that feeling of, well, what’s coming. And it’s like, we’ll never be able to plan for that. You can have thoughts about what’s happening and make your judgment calls as to what you want to do accordingly. 

Nicole Laino
But if you’re allowing that to seep into your energy, that’s your job, is to work through that, those feelings, work through that energetic thing. So it isn’t Poisoning everything that you do or keeping you from taking action altogether. Because there is a lot of opportunity here. There is a lot like, quite frankly, it’s just as easy to make money today as it was six months ago. It’s how you think about it that’s changing that. So the other thing that I wanted to mention was I had Mark down here. So the week of the 22nd to the 26th, right before we close out the end of the month, we all have. Venus will be in the 42nd gate and Jupiter will be in the 53rd gate. 

Nicole Laino
Just speaking from a human design, purely perspective here, they form the channel of maturation, which is the channel of starting and ending things. It is the beginning of cycles and the closing of cycles. So you might find in that week that you might see something that has run its course and you might finally let it go. And that might be clarity coming from this eclipse where you might see something that’s gotta go. You might see something that you are ready to release, and that might be happening. You might be ready to actually make that happen and pull that trigger. The energy might be supporting you or feeling like you’re empowered to let something go. It also might be a time that you are starting something new, especially given the timing with the shift into Aries. This might be a new cycle starting for you. 

Nicole Laino
But I think that this channel always reminds us of the wisdom of knowing that you can’t just start things and you can’t just end them. That in order to start something new, you can only have so many new things on your plate before none of them are getting any attention. And none of them are really. You’re not really devoting anything to them. So 53 provides the fuel to actually start something new. And 42 will hold the energy and sustain the energy to keep that cycle going until its natural close. But it will drag you down. If you have something, stay longer than it belongs. 

Nicole Laino
So if you will are resistant to closing out a cycle, that will also be probably brought into your face during that week to say, like, you’ve hung onto this too long and it will start to cause other problems for you because it’s keeping you from real growth. This is a channel of growth. But what growth really maturation, what does it take for something to actually mature and grow into something? 42 is a gate of growth. And when we have that, it’s like true growth can only come through healthy growth. It’s like if you grow your hair and you never trim your ends, it’s like, well, you’re Just going to keep breaking off at the end, and it’s just going to end up the same length the whole time. Sometimes we find that letting something go. 

Nicole Laino
I closed a chapter on something that’s been open for, you know, since 2016, just a couple of weeks ago. And that was a big move for me. But there was just this, like, it’s time. I think I’ve actually been holding onto this longer than I should have, but it’s time and I let it go. And so many just simple things have, like, fallen into place. It’s like I created space for the next thing. And that’s what this one reminds us, is that we can’t just take on more. We have to create more space. And we can do that by expanding ourselves. But that’s not all. It. It’s usually we have to let go of things that are no longer in alignment with where we’re going with the growth and expansion, that path that we’re on. 

Christina Luna
I am so grateful for the wisdom that you just dropped because I was looking at that week and seeing all of the very strong conjunctions again, concentrated energy in Aries. Aries is a sign that’s known for the cut between. It’s the cut of the umbilical cord. It’s like cutting the cord, cutting that so that a being can exist, separate and individuated from its source. And it’s a hard cut. I mean, it takes a lot for a mother to get a child out of her body and then to cut it and then for a part of something that was inside of her to exist separate from her. And so what you were saying about holding onto the things longer than maybe we’ve maybe has served all parts. Yeah, I can. I’m. I’m looking at. 

Christina Luna
I was looking at this week and thinking, gosh, I have a feeling this is going to have a lot to do with my motherhood and my daughter aging. And she’s got spring break that week. And I’m. I’m probably going to have to allow the next iteration of our relationship to be born, but that will mean I’m have to. I’m going to have to let go some of the ways I’ve mothered her, you know, just to give, like, another perspective of, like, how this could be showing up in people’s lives. There’s 12 different places this ending, the severing can be happening, or this clear understanding that the ending and the beginning have to happen now. So thanks for that insight you gave me because I sort of was thinking, geez, There’s a lot of concentration here. I wonder what’s going to happen. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah, and that was just something that, like, I’m always looking. I have to kind of put them together in my head because I. To go through the whole month. I can’t do the chart, but I saw that I was like, oh, we’re gonna get that channel there. It’s just, you know, it’s the Venus and Jupiter conjunction, which I think is really interesting. Just those two energies coming together. Venus and Jupiter, I think also are, you know, an interesting way to bring this together. But yeah, and then we have the last week, you know, we go into. We end the month with gate 21 in the sun. In gate 21, I’m talking about now, gate of control. This is the one that says, like, you know, I think it’s also known as the hunter huntress. 

Nicole Laino
This is the gate that goes out and like, this is the hunter of the tribe. This is the one where they like, the tribe elects like the best hunter to go out and get all of the food for everybody. And then it brings it back and then it’s gate 45. The King Queen, you know, chief of the tribe is deciding, well, how much meat does everybody get? How are we dividing this up? How much are we storing? What are we doing? So I feel like that end of the month is going to be about that hunting. It’ll be about going out and gathering what it is that the resources that you need. So that might be that you’re internally gathering your resources. 

Nicole Laino
You might be really like building up a store to go out and be able to have longevity over the next couple of months. This might be a time to really take control and take a look at what you have and what you need. You know, what’s missing? What do I need? In order for Taurus season, which is where we’ll be, you know, after this point, after Aries, we’re going to go into Taurus, where we’re going to be trying to lay some foundations. We’re going to really be about, like laying groundwork and having the longevity. What are we building? Like, we thought about it, we know what it is and now we’re going to actually build it. Well, what will you need in order to do that? 

Nicole Laino
So this might be a time, if it’s business that we’re talking about, really making sure that you are list building and you are getting your audience together and you are. This might be a big visibility push of putting yourself out there and getting people to pay attention to you. So you can set yourself up to do something big in May when the energy shifts a little bit. That could be one way of looking at it. You could be looking at your finances and be saying, like, how do I get these things in order to. So that it looks good and feels good going forward. 

Christina Luna
Yeah. And Venus will be in Taurus too, and that’s her temple. So we’ll have a really clear access to that desire part of ourselves, the part that knows what it needs. So there’s a lot of support for what you just said. 

Nicole Laino
Very cool. Well, did you have anything else to add? I feel like we gave a good overview of what’s happening and dove into, like, the important parts. That was all that I had circled on here and, like, written out for, like, dates that I wanted to mention. Is there anything else that you would like to mention, my love? 

Christina Luna
I feel humble. I feel like if I could encourage anything, it would just be humbleness this month to see that there’s more. 

Nicole Laino
Yeah. 

Christina Luna
More working behind the scenes than we can possibly know and that it. Everything’s still lined up. Right. Everything’s still working out for the greatest good. Everything is still on track. We just gotta trust it. That’s how I feel. 

Nicole Laino
For me, the big thing that was coming out for me is, you know, I try to take the cue from, you know, what season are we in? And just in Eclipse, in Pisces season, to me, I’m like, when in doubt, create something for the love of it, not for what it will give you. Like this month, for me, I think, like I wrote down on mine is just like, you know, it’s really about detaching from outcome and really being in alignment with what I put my energy into. And choose joy, choose fun, choose some playfulness. I don’t think this is a month to be too serious. We’re going to have plenty of time for that. Like, toward the end of the month it’ll get more serious. 

Nicole Laino
But in that beginning stage, like, if you’re listening to this, when we drop this episode, can you have a lighter touch? That’s what’s coming through for me personally of what I’m going to be doing. 

Christina Luna
It sounds very sound. 

Nicole Laino

Christina Luna
I am currently recording the Q2 readings for everyone. So, yeah, if I do have enrollment season open, I could probably take a few more clients this season. They would probably be. 

Nicole Laino
That was not convincing. Not convincing at all. You were like, I could probably take a dream makeup. And you asked me what I was promoting and I felt like I needed to say something a little bit on. 

Christina Luna
My desk right now. But I bet you anything by the time we get to the next podcast episode, I’ll be like, enrollment is open, baby.
