Gemini Season – June Human Design & Astrology Transits

Episode 481

What if the biggest breakthrough in the second half of the year starts with getting clear on what truly matters right now?

In this month’s solo transit episode, Nicole takes the reins and guides you through the powerful astrological and Human Design energies shaping June. While Christina Luna couldn’t join this month due to a scheduling conflict, Nicole offers her perspective on the major themes, planetary movements, and energetic shifts that may influence how you move through the weeks ahead. If you’ve been feeling like things are finally starting to gain traction after a turbulent start to the year, this episode explores why June could be an important turning point.

Throughout the month, you’ll be invited to examine where your focus is going, what you’re truly committed to building, and how your relationship with visibility may be evolving. Nicole unpacks key transits that highlight purpose, self-expression, leadership, and the desire to share what matters most. As new opportunities emerge, June asks an important question: What do you want to be known for?

As the month progresses, the energy begins to shift from action into reflection. Nicole explores themes of embodiment, healing, communication, and timing, offering insight into how slowing down can sometimes create the momentum you’ve been searching for. Whether you’re navigating a business decision, refining your message, or simply trying to understand what this season is asking of you, this episode provides guidance for working with the energy of June rather than pushing against it.

Episode 481:


Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design. I’m your host, Nicole Laino and. And it’s just you and me today. We’re doing the transit episode for June, and unfortunately, Christina Luna and I had a scheduling conflict and couldn’t make it work this month. So you’re just getting me. I hope that’s okay. I’m going to do my best to cover both sides of this so that you get everything that you are used to getting outside of what is irreplaceable. My good friend Christina and her lovely energy and all the extra just genius that she brings to every one of these episodes. But like I said, I’m gonna do my best to hold down the fort and give you guys a really good read on June. 


I am sorry she’s not here because this would have been really fun to talk about with her because June is such an interesting month. What I think is really interesting about it and just sort of recapping some of what we have been feeling and what we’ve been going through in May and what we’ve been building up to this whole year, I think May has started to make things feel maybe a little bit more grounded, maybe a day or two that was rocky. Maybe there’s some things that didn’t feel exactly as easy, but it’s very Taurus energy. It was very. To me, at least, it felt, oh, okay. I actually feel like I can move and it doesn’t feel like my back is on fire. 


And I also don’t feel like I’m trudging through mud, which I think was the characteristics of earlier in the year where we either felt like were dragging with all those retrogrades and those things going on, or we felt like were hanging on for dear life onto the back of the fire horse. Now, while that energy is all still there, I felt like May provided us with a little bit of productivity maybe. Maybe things didn’t feel quite so chaotic. Hopefully that’s how it felt for you. That was really what was coming through for me. I felt like I could actually see something beyond the moment that I was in that I started to really see how not the vision, but how I could make the vision happen. There were definitely times throughout the first quarter of the year, where I felt like. 


And that’s really what the first quarter is. First quarter is you’re dreaming it all up. And the dream, you’re reworking it. You start working with the clay and then you go, nope, that’s not it. So you crush the whole thing. You put some water in your hands, press down on that wheel and flatten out and that clay again to start all over. And I think that’s what is happening. We’re testing a lot of things in that first quarter, and I think the energy this year, while it lends to that, I think that it did make us feel maybe a little bit like there was like a rushed feeling and then also a feeling like we can’t really move. We were sort of always oscillating between those two things. 


In April, I think we started to level off a little bit, but I think we really started to feel that in May. So hopefully you are feeling like you are building now, which is what second quarter is all about. And I’m talking about second quarter of the human design wheel, not second quarter of the year, because they don’t line up exactly. Second quarter of the human design wheel. Like I’ve talked about before, it’s all about the concretizing. It’s about building. It’s about putting form around the vision. Okay, this is what we’re doing now. Let’s get to building. Let’s get to putting one foot in front of the other and getting this thing done. That’s what this is about. So I felt like May gave us that a little bit, and now June going into June. 


And I’m going to break this down because there’s actually quite a bit happening. We have a few planets changing signs. There’s a lot happening here. So I’m going to do my best to cover it in a reasonable amount of time to not make this too long of an episode. But I want to give you some key dates to look out for. I’ll give you, obviously, the human design changes that we’re seeing or anything of note that’s happening in the human design chart that you should be aware of. But this is a busy time, so let’s get into it. So we start off the month. I’ll actually start with the 31st of May, because right before June starts, we have a full moon in Sagittarius. In Gate 9, this full moon is going to be asking you to step into. It’s interesting. 


Gate 9 is the gate of details. It is the gate of focus. It’s gonna kind of be asking you know, what are you focusing on? Where is your focus? This is a moment for you to reflect on that a little bit and see maybe where you are focused and where you are not. Where do you maybe need to come into greater alignment with. Sometimes I think we have too many things on our plate, and I think that’s what this full moon is going to be asking us. You want to go someplace, okay, you can’t carry all that stuff with you. You’re going to have to let some things go. You’re going to have to focus. So you’re going to ask yourself, maybe it’s not letting go of things for you, but. 


But it’s going to be you looking at it and saying, where is my focus and is it in alignment with where I want to be going? Right. So this first week, we will be in full blown Gemini season here. So this first week, we start off June in gate 35, which is this gate of being the jack of all trades. This is the gate of great progress. It loves to move. It loves to. This is a throat center gate. This gate is really all about change and making change happen, usually through doing different things. It wants progress sometimes at all costs. So what we have to watch out for here is balancing this hunger for change, this need for change, because not all change is progress. Let’s just say it right there. Not all change is progress. 


So it’s up to us to really notice where do we want change for change sake, and where are we really putting our effort and our energy into something that has the potential for true progress? Sometimes we need to stick with something for progress to happen. So I think that’s a question that we’re asking ourselves here. I think that goes with that focus conversation that you’re having with yourself, that focus reflection that this week is going to be sort of about finding your flow, really finding your flow, finding your rhythm for this next half of the year that we’re going into. And we’ll talk about what this means as we go into cancer season. Some of these sign changes that we have throughout the month. So this first week kind of gives us that ability, that moment to say, let me find my bearings here. 


Let me find what is really important, but let me find my flow, let me find my rhythm here. And we’ve got a couple of things that are happening this month. We’re all going to be getting a few little extra activations here. Mercury and the Earth come together to form the channel of rhythm in that first week. And then in that first to second week we will all have Saturn and the sun are going to join and make a channel. They’re not joining in the astrological chart. This is a purely human designed thing where we’re all going to get the money line in that second week. Which means that ego to the throat, what is that going to do? It means that kind of our mission is really going to be about furthering something that means something to us. What means something to you? 


The money line is known for a lot of things but really what we’re looking at here in that second week is this is kind of in that influence of that cross of rulership. What do you care about? And there might be action here. You might feel like you need to take action. That can certainly be a byproduct of this energy here. But really what you are coming to is this. These first two weeks are setting you up to say and understand what do I really care about? What do I really want to move forward with? What really has legs that I want to put into, put forward for the rest of the year? What am I building? And you’re going to be maybe searching through the second week is going to say what’s important, what matters. 


Because gate 45 is going to say this matters and it matters for everybody. This matters and it matters for everyone. So this is so important. This might be a week where you’re really starting to hone in on what you want to because this is going to lead to the next couple of weeks. Couple of weeks here in June you might be starting to ask yourself the question about what do I really want to be known for? What do I really want to be visible with? I believe that we have all been kind of challenged as the energy changes and we move closer and closer to 2027. 


You’re probably already finding that the things that you used to talk about that you were so good at talking about the way you talked about them, that it’s shifting, that it’s changing, that it doesn’t feel right for it to be the same anymore. This is a week where I think you’re really going to tune into what is it that I want to be known for. I’m not sure if you’re taking action on it this week. You might. This week is going to feel really good potentially because we have this Venus Jupiter conjunction in Gate 62 on the 10th of the month, which is just. I think it’s just going to feel really good. And that week is going to feel really good. 


We’re going to have this kind of Venus Jupiter dance that is happening, you know, from like, I think it’s like the 9th through like 15th or so where we have this lovely little dance with Venus and Jupiter which is just gonna add big energy to all things that are beautiful that matter to us. That it can be relationships, all of that good feeling Venus stuff can do with money. There’s a lot of themes here, but I think it’s just gonna feel be a week that feels really good that maybe we get into the details of things. Maybe we spend time doing something that feel really making something beautiful or reading a poem or something, just indulging a little bit because that’s what Jupiter brings to this. It’s going to kind of amplify anything that’s near it. 


So it’s amplifying all of that beautiful Venus energy that we’ve got there. We’re going to have Venus moving into Leo on what is that? The 14th of the month. So that’s a big deal. Venus is going to move into Leo on the 15th. You can circle this date. So circle the 10th on your calendar, circle the 15th, the 14th, 15th on your calendar. We’ve got Venus moves into Leo and we also get a new moon in gemini in gate 16 here. I think this is all a very interesting little dance that we have going on here because Venus is going from Cancer where Venus and Cancer is very emotionally connected. So again that finding your flow, finding what really matters to you. That those first two weeks of the month might feel a little watery. 


They might feel a little emotional, like you’re sorting through some things. I don’t think they’ll feel bad emotional. I think you just might be in a soul searching kind of place. But then when Venus moves into Leo, it’s that question you were asking yourself the week before. What do I want to be visible for? What do I want to be known for? Then when Venus steps into Leo the following week on the 14th, it’s going to be here I am. Now it’s time to do it. Now it’s time for us to step out and claim that spotlight. How do we do that? That new moon in Gemini is going to be asking us to set some new intentions maybe around gate 16. Qualities, enthusiasm. What do I want to share what again? That what means something to me? It’s from a different place. 


This is just. Gate 16 is just. What do I love so much that I have to share it? What do I love so much that I find I’m talented at that I find That I have some connection to. What is that thing that I cannot help but share? I feel like everybody needs to know about it. This is like the ultimate gemini gate. Gate 16 is just. If you have gate 16, if you are born during this week, that gate 16 in your conscious sun is going to give you such a lust for life if it’s in alignment. These people, when they love something, everybody’s gotta know about it. Very Gemini energy. Like I have to tell everybody. So this is that week of stepping into that. This is that week. It’s visibility. 


And it isn’t just gonna last this week because Venus into Leo is gonna last a little bit. But it’s also. We’re gonna have some other movements into Leo later on in the month, which I’ll talk about in just a minute. But this whole week. So we’ve got some interesting things happening this week. Venus moving into Leo activates a couple of other planets at the same time. All of this is happening, by the way, with gate 12 activated. Gate 12 in human design, the sun will be in gate 12 during this whole transit. What is happening here is. It’s gate 12 is about really unlocking an emotionally intelligent voice. All of that beautiful energy of being able to speak truth but know exactly the right timing for it to know exactly when people need to hear it. 


So this might not be the week that you are like telling everybody everything. But there might be just something that drops in where you’re just like, this is what needs to be said. Gate 12 knows how to edit. Gate 12 knows how to read the room and know when’s the Gate of Caution, when to be careful and when to push. It knows these things innately. Now, in that third week we’re gonna have, Venus obviously moves into Leo and then it creates these aspects to Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. I’m not gonna go into all of the details behind that, but basically these are all going to be sextiling. So they’re gonna flow really nicely together. This is another week where again, I think it’s going to feel really good, really interesting. This is where. 


When we have these positive aspects, it just means whatever is unearthed with Pluto and again with Venus kind of causing these. Venus is such a positive influencing planet. When we have Venus and Pluto, what’s unearthed by Pluto might be something that is very positive and really has a positive effect. The word isn’t coming to me at the moment. There is a word for this and it’s escaping me, but that it really has purpose behind it, that it’s for the Greater good. It isn’t something being unearthed and dug up. And it’s painful. It’s almost like it comes to fruition there or it is just for the greater good. It has purpose to it. And then at the end of that week, we’ve got a couple of things again happening. 


The 19th through the 22nd, we have gate 15 is where the sun will be in human design. And what’s going to happen Here is gate 15 is. This happens at the solstice. So we have. This is another one of our love gates. This is an identity gate. But this is really going to be about accepting yourself just as you are accepting others, just as they are really opening your heart to your differences. The things that make you unique, they make you special. And the next day, after the sun transits into gate 15, we get Chiron moving into Taurus, changing signs again. This is gonna be a very big change, especially if you are around my age. 


So if you are somebody who is in their late 40s, you probably, or I think just in your 40s, you’re probably going to have this where your Chiron, take a look at your chart and see if your Chiron is in the sign of Taurus. If it’s in Taurus, then this is going to be the beginning of your healing journey. You’ll start to feel the strongest when you are about two and a half years, two to three years away from turning 50. So I’m right about there. So I’m already starting to look at this. But now with it moving into my sign, officially now, we’re getting a whole new healing journey. So we had Chiron in Aries all of this time, urging us to heal our wounds around who we are, how we see ourselves, our boldness, all of those Aries qualities being seen. Right. 


And now with Chiron moving into Taurus, we’re going to get a different theme. This is going to be around embodiment, around money, around really feeling like you have to work hard for things. Where are these wounds coming through? Through. Where do you feel like you have to earn your worth? This is gonna be a very interesting time. Once we’re moving into this should feel very different. And I think that when we go through these transits, if you are somebody who has a Chiron in Taurus, if you are a Taurus Chiron person like myself, I think sometimes we can brace ourselves for these returns because we think that they’re going to be bad. Cause a lot of times they are pretty challenging, to say the least, or at least turbulent. And from What I hear, I’ve never been through a Chiron return because this is. 


We only get one and this is mine. So I don’t have personal, my own personal experience with this. But I’ve worked with a lot of people who have been through Chiron and everybody who I know within the astrological space who’s been through their Chiron, they all say, oh, it’s so lovely. It really is like the final fox are given, they just go away. This is when you enter, you’re like, I don’t give a era. Like suddenly that weight you were carrying for so long around your self worth for in this case around money, around Taurus rules like the body and physical aspects of the way we feel about our body. Stability, all of this pleasure, what we get to have all of those wounds. 


If you have any of those wounds then you may start to feel them fall away or it may be easier for you to be going through some of that healing work where you actually feel like you start to really make progress with it. I already feel like I’m getting somewhere with a lot of these aspects for myself. So I’m looking forward to it. Everyone keeps saying how nice it is, so I could use that. And I hope that you get the same effect. So that is all happening. That’s around the 20th of the month. 19Th, 20th, depending on your time zone. We’re going to move. Chiron will move into the sign of Taurus and the sun is going to move into Cancer at this point as well. 


So now we are going from that big, bold, airy Gemini that wants to think and talk and get everything out there. And now we are going to get. Things are probably going to slow down around the end of the month. You’re going to want to be visible. You’re going to get that desire to be visible. But we’re gonna go into that Sun’s gonna be in the watery cancer sign. We’re gonna get the gate of stillness as on the 25th. So the 25th is a date for you to. That whole week just. Can you practice being still? The universe is gonna be slowing you down here. Don’t fight it. But then we get. Mars is gonna move into Gemini on the 27th or the 28th. Ish. There’s a lot of signs changing. 


This is a lot of change of the way that these planets show up, changing their expression. So that last week we have Mars into Gemini, Mars ingresses into Gemini. We get Mercury retrograde. Mercury goes retrograde at this point and then we get a full moon in capricorn in gate 10. So Mercury is going to station retrograde in Cancer. So again, this is probably going to feel. I feel like there’s some conflicting energies here. There’s going to be Mars into Gemini. That’s going to want to speed up after having been in Taurus. It’s going to. We’re going to get that fire of Mars combined with that Gemini air. You know, your mind might want to move real fast, but your body is going to probably be saying something different. 


So this end of the month, and then we have on the 30th, Jupiter changes signs, goes from Cancer into Leo. So Jupiter, this planet of indulgence and bigness and excitement, enters into Leo, the sign of bold expression and being seen and taking up space and drama and creativity and all of that. So we’re getting a lot of change in this month. I see. This is a big transition month into the second half of the year. This is a big turning point for all of us. And you may want to lead, you may be wanting to do some things at this end of the month that are going to feel like maybe it’s not all happening. So can you flow with that? And I think that full Moon in capricorn in gate 10 sort of asks us what feels natural to us. 


I think this is so interesting, the full moon in Capricorn. So when you think about Capricorn, you think about really maybe muscling your way through success at all costs, really wants to move forward. So that energy very well may be there emotionally, may be very connected to that. But Gate 10 also says it’s gotta be natural. I always think it’s interesting when Gates. Part of gate 10 is in Sagittarius, part of gate 10 is in Capricorn. This is going to be in the Capricorn side and gate 10, it almost doesn’t sound very much like a Capricorn gate when you think about it. When you hear just be natural, just be you, don’t be self conscious. The gift is to just be so comfortable in your own behavior that you don’t even think about it, that everywhere you go, you are you, and that’s enough. 


And it’s always the right, just the right amount of everything that you are, you bring because you’re you. That’s skate 10, I am me, and you’re welcome without a hint of ego. And I think that might be a little bit of a challenge for us in that moment where I think Gate 10 kind of tells us how to relax into things. On the 29th, it’s telling us to just do what feels natural in the moment. If it feels natural to cry, then cry. If it feels natural to stay still and to just ruminate on things a little bit, then do that. I know how the other energy is going to probably make you want to be big, but it may not feel like you can at the moment. 


So your mind may really want to be visible and be out there and be pushing and all of that stuff that was the middle of the month. Take advantage of that before we hit these retrogrades and these changes. But once we hit that Mercury retrograde, it’s going to ask us to pull back a little bit. It’s going to ask us to be more mindful, to maybe be checking in with ourselves about how we feel about things. It’s going to be in gate 62 at this point. It’s going to be retrograding in this gate of details, this gate of. And not details like focus, like gate nine. It’s the gate of really being able to express things. This is an expressive gate. So maybe you’re thinking about and journaling about and putting some time into crossing your eyes and dotting your T’s. 


Gate 62 is all about precision. It is all about having that argument, just being able to tell people in just the right way exactly what you were trying to convey. And they’re like, oh, I get it now. Being able to explain things in a way that people really get it clicks for them, right? So can you embrace that and maybe do the work that you have to do, rather than just being visible for visible sake, rather than just feeling like you’ve got to be out there more? Can you take the time to really craft a message, to really dig into what is it that I want to say? I think that is a very big theme of June. We’re sort of opening the month and closing the month with what do I really want to say? 


We start out in the beginning of the month with what is it? And then we’re ending the month. And that going into that Mercury retrograde, maybe saying, how do I want to say this? I think 62 sort of builds an argument. Gate 62 kind of. It’s that lawyer vibe where it’s, how do I build this argument? So it makes total sense. And there the jury has no choice but to follow the path that I’m laying out here, following this story. That’s what Gate 62 does. So can you take that? And as it goes retrograde in this gate and asks us to spend some time here. That’s really what it’s asking us to do, slow down our thinking, slow down our communication. Not so it doesn’t happen, but maybe so we can get it kind of right. 


Have it be precise, have it be something we’re proud of, have it be something that people can receive. I think that’s where the energy is going to be inviting us into, at least at that point. So it’s a busy month. There’s a whole lot going on here. And I think that last week, just take it easy. It is a time of reflection. But also know it’s building towards something because the gun is going to go off when we go into July. Things are going to. They are going to move eventually. So yes, this month is going to slow us down a little bit, but it’s going to be slow down to speed up. So just remember that. Thank you so much for being here. And remember, in order to have an unshakable business, you must first become an unshakable human. 


So thanks for letting us help you become unshakable with human design. We’ll see you next time.
