Welcome to the Rochelle Christian Podcast. I'm Rochelle, your host. I'm here to help you come back to your body, take charge of your emotions, and live life on your terms. This podcast is a space for raw, real conversations about what it means to trust yourself, lean into your power, and create a life that feels aligned and alive. We'll explore human design, astrology, and other tools to help you understand your unique energy. More importantly, though, we're gonna talk about what it means to actually live and embody these aspects. So each week I'm gonna share stories, lessons, guidance to help you navigate life's challenges and really own your magic. So if you're ready to step up, take control, and show up as the most authentic version of you, let's begin. Welcome back to another episode on the podcast, the Rashal Christian Podcast. Today we're going to dive into Uranus moving into Gemini, which will happen on the 25th of April. So this week, Uranus is gonna move into Gemini. It has been in Taurus since 2018, and it dipped into Gemini last summer and then dipped back into Taurus in the fall. But now it will be in Gemini for the duration of its stay. And we're gonna dive into a little bit what this means collectively, what it could mean individually. And not only are we gonna talk about this, we're gonna touch on a little bit of the midlife transits, which Uranus is a big player in the midlife transits. Uranus is a big player in the human design system as well. And so Uranus says, yeah, it's just really important to our current state of consciousness. So yeah, let's just dive into it. But so much around what we're collectively currently experiencing has to do with this little mini triangle that's happening between Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune. Now, anytime we have a planet that is conjunct, this is action. It is asking for action. It is neither good nor bad, although it tends to be looked at as more of a challenging aspect. It can be, of course, depends on what planets are involved. And every time we have a conjunction, it's almost like a new moon phase. We're closing up a cycle and we're beginning a new cycle. So the last time that Uranus was in Gemini, or sorry, the last time that Uranus was conjunct Pluto was in 19, I believe it was like it was the 60s to like 1972. And this was also a time that, yeah, this was when Pluto, sorry, this was when Pluto and Uranus were conjunct. And so this was beginning a cycle. Now Uranus in Pluto conjunct, it's revolution. It is, you know, completely it's transforming things, it is radical shifts in politics. And, you know, we had war during this time, we had sexual revolution, revolution is the word I was looking for. The sexual revolution, we had the rise of feminism. We had so much happening during this time. And so this is the first time that they're gonna be in a trine to each other in that cycle. So they were sexile, square, and now now they're trying. So on top of Uranus being in Gemini, we now have this trine that's going to be happening with Pluto and Uranus. Now they've been loosely trying, uh out of sign trine for a while because they're both slow-moving planets, and so it takes a while. But now that Uranus is moving into Gemini, this will be an air trine, right? Pluto is in Aquarius, Gemini will be in Uranus. So just that in itself is massive collectively of what we're happening. Uranus is the natural ruler of Aquarius, where Pluto is sitting. And Uranus also really likes to be in Scorpio. So that being said, Uranus does not like to be in Taurus where it has been for the past eight years. Uranus moved into Taurus May 15, which was my birthday in 2018. And when you really think about it, first of all, Uranus can't fully express itself in Taurus. You might say it's weak in Taurus. And Uranus is shock, it's revolution, it's rebellion, it's electrical impulses in the body, it is the higher mind, it is like uh shaking things up. It is change, it is the core of change, and Taurus does not like change. Taurus likes stability, security, creature comforts. It's about the senses, it's about our resources, food, um, finances, otherwise, right? And so Uranus being through Taurus, the these two like don't really sit well with each other. So we've had so much changes in Taurus, in the area of finances and food and all these sensual type of things. And so you can look at your chart to see what has been happening in Taurus over the last eight years. But Uranus is change, right? Change requires discomfort, change requires an element of chaos. And so it as it moved through Taurus, it was kind of asking us to get comfortable in ourselves and to be comfortable with change because change is inevitable, right? And Taurus can really dig its feet in abattorusillium, and it can really dig its feet in. It does not like change. However, life has changed, right? It's inevitable to change, and we want to change, we want to grow, we want to shift. And in that discomfort, of course, we get to choose what path we're taking, how we want to show up for it, if we want to resist it, if we want to dig our heels in, if we want to embrace it. Um and those, of course, were all options for us. And you know, astrology is what it is, astrology is potentials. There is no necessarily written in stone. Astrology is the study of patterns, right, throughout history, which is why we can sit here and say, oh, well, when Uranus was in Gemini for the last three or four times, which we're gonna dive into a little bit, this is what happened. And so it's likely that those patterns are going to repeat, and we can see that they are repeating themselves. And so, yes, it's potentials, it's the study of patterns, and your unique chart is what brings it to life. Your unique experience with it is what brings it to life. And everything is duality. Everything is duality. There is no right and wrong, there is no black and white. There is everything, there's potentials, there's duality, there's everything happening at the same time. Astrology is, you know, as above, so below, as within, so without. And so when we're looking at, you know, collective transits, yes, we can see patterns from history of what's happened. And when we're looking at collective patterns, collective events, there is a background frequency of the collective, of what we're choosing, of what our personal experiences are that contribute to the collective. So Uranus is also collective trauma and memory. So when you have Uranus moving through Taurus and our resources are impacted, there's a change in our resources, it activates this collective trauma of lack, of survival, right? And so the as a human being, we're wired for survival, right? This is why this, you know, Uranus is so much part of the nervous system, and we're gonna get into Gemini is the nervous system as well. Uranus is like the electrical impulses of the body, Mercury rules the nervous system. So, of course, this is really gonna be activating us. And this is why sometimes it's so hard to change because we're wired for survival. We, our body, our cells store memory of past experiences. So when something happens, our flight or fight response is activated and we just want to survive. We wanna, this is why we repeat patterns, why it's so hard to break patterns and where we get stuck in similar relationships over and over, certain situations over and over. Like we're learning these lessons, and a huge piece of that is to know that we're safe, right? A huge way that we can heal and grow and choose new experiences and take new actions and take aligned action, right? Which is what Aries this season has been teaching us, like how to take aligned actions, is to know that we're safe. But collectively, when we're in a uh situation, when we're in an environment, society where those are core like safety needs, I guess, is when it's being activated, when that memory, that stored memory that Uranus holds is being triggered and we don't feel safe because we're in Taurus, right? And we want safety, we want security, we want to know, we want to like have everything set up so we know that we're safe and we can do the work. When that's triggered collectively, we are all in fight or flight. And so Taurus is the body, and we will feel some relief, hopefully, when Tor uh uh Uranus moves out of Taurus. But this is, I mean, I've been talking about this for years. Like coming inside, doing the work, regulating yourself. If you didn't listen to the podcast episode with Jim Cher, it was two or three episodes ago. I think it was last month. I can link it in the show notes. Or you can just go on my uh wherever you're listening to the podcast, type in Jim Cher, it'll pop up. We talked a lot about Uranus in the outer planets, and we talked about being able to be your own safety within. Because if you're sitting in yourself and you're finding safety within yourself and you're not getting sucked into the chaos, that's kind of that's where we want to be. We want to like sort of sit in the middle of the storm and not be swept up in the storm and be able to hold our own and be regulated in ourselves, not just for ourselves, but for those around us. You know, as a parent, I want to be a sense of safety for my kids. I want them to feel safe and secure regardless of what's happening in and for myself, to know that regardless of what's happening, I'm good. Like I got me. Like God's got me, if you want to say that. Like, I like connecting with that higher power is really powerful. And on top of that, we have Neptune in the mix. Neptune is a dissolver, and Neptune is moving through Aries. Aries is the I am of the zodiac, right? I am whatever you end that sentence with is what you identify with. And so Neptune is dissolving false identification. What are you identifying with that does not serve you? That you've picked up through childhood, your conditioning from parents, from coaches, from teachers, from siblings, all well-intentioned, right? Some not, but most well-intentioned. And so it's like, how can we dissolve those belief systems, those identities, so that we can come into our own. I mean, we're we're shifting in 2027 into the cross of the sleeping phoenix. This is all about the individual. We're moving from the tribe, from this, I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine, to this being to the individual. We're in the age of Aquarius, right? Aquarius is rebellion, Aquarius is a little bit weird. Aquarius is for the all. And I'm, you know, I'm reading the Bhagavad Gita again, I've read it before, but they really talk about controlling the senses so the senses don't take over and being in service. And so it is this balance of, I think, again, with everything, there's so much duality. We so often swing from one extreme to the to the other, right? Where it's we're now we're in this self-care and and taking care of the self. And yes, that's really important. And also, I think that you will always get out of a funk or you will support yourself when you are in service to others. I think that's just a part of life. We want to be in service to others, but yes, we have to take care of ourselves. So it's finding that balance, right? Finding the balance between action, uh, like activity and rest, right? Like masculine and feminine. We want that balance. It's not like it's so hard to not swing from one extreme to the other. But I really do think that Neptune is here to like dissolve a lot of these beliefs that we've held and these identities uh that we've attached to throughout our life. And again, I don't know. I mean, it is, you know, collectively we're going through a lot. And I personally, in my life, I'm going through a lot of midlife transits. I really don't like that term, but I turn 40 next month, so there will be another podcast episode next month, just in like kind of my year in review. And typically the year before the year, the month before your birthday is sort of like this dark moon phase. So we are introspective, we are reflective, we are moving through our own process, we are looking back to the to the past year, like what we did right, what you know, what we want to do. I heard, I don't remember where, I think it was an email. I got an email. And it said that to ask yourself, like, so when there's something you don't want to do, when there's something that you know you need to do, when there's something that maybe you don't want to do, or you find yourself in self-sabotage patterns, or you find yourself where your senses are taking over, where it's like, oh my gosh, I have to have the dessert, I want to have that drink, whatever. What would the you of tomorrow thank yourself thank yourself for in this moment? And ever since I read that, it's just so it's always these really simple things, right? Like, as we talk about on here a lot, like it's always in the simple that the profound answers are. But ever since I heard that, I was like, wow, that is so good and it's so true. And so I've really been asking myself, like today, it's raining outside. I did not sleep well last night. We got these little, like, um, I don't know if you, you know, you plug them in the wall for like pests, like this little like sonar, I don't know what whatever it is. I found a bug in my kitchen the other day. So I was like, we are getting bug deterrence. Like we spray outside. It was dead, but like still it got in the house. So I was like, ugh. And so I, you know, I plugged these little things in and I just like had this ringing in my ear. And I was like, is the like, am I actually picking up on the frequency that's being put out by these little like the things? But anyway, I couldn't sleep great last night. So I was exhausted today. I was tired. I wanted to just sleep. I wanted, I am literally reading a book that I stayed up too late reading as well last night. So I wanted nothing more than to just sit on my couch and read and do nothing. But I had to like stop and I was like, okay, what would the me of tomorrow thank myself today for doing? That would be getting my ass up, getting dressed, and going to the gym, recording my podcast episode that I'm not scrambling and doing it tomorrow, and just like and being productive. I have a blog that I want to finish writing that kind of goes along with this, right? Like Uranus and Gemini blog. And so there's a lot that I want to accomplish today that, yes, it would have been so nice to just sit on my bed and read this book and finish this book. And I will, I'll finish it tonight, and that's fine. But I really there were things that I really wanted to get done today. And so that's where we're at, right? The me of tomorrow will thank the me today for doing these things. And when we talk about manifestation, when we talk about any of these things, it's like, what would my higher self thank me for doing? Right? Like, I'm setting myself up to become that version of myself that I'm calling in daily. So what would the me of tomorrow thank myself for doing today? So I just like loved that quote. Um, so we're gonna get into Uranus moving into Gemini, just a couple little housekeeping things before we get into that. Holistic Human Design Academy is starting May 1st. This is a three-month program to really dive into yourself. And it's not just so the whole premise of Holistic Human Design Academy is to take you out of your mind and into the body. This is the whole purpose of human design. Again, human design and astrology, it's all potentials. It is so powerful when we embody it, when we feel it, when we experiment with it, when we play with it. And so when I, you know, I took a step back from human design for a while because I found myself just being like, oh, I'm like this because of my design, or I'm like this because of my design. But I wasn't really like embodying my emotional authority. I wasn't really embodying my manifesting generator strategy, right? So I was like, okay, what do, what would I, what do I wish I had when I was learning these systems? And so that's what it is. It is, yes, we're learning and we're deeply coming into relationship with our charts, but it's more deeply coming into relationship with yourself and your body and practicing and experiencing your design and your chart. And so it's such a beautiful program. I'm so excited. This live round, again, three months to really like coming into you to getting out of your head and into your body. We have weekly live calls, integration periods, and it's just such a beautiful program. So there are eight spots available. Um, I'm taking 10 through. There are eight spots available. So you can click the link down below and sign up and join us. I also have a community on Telegram, Astro Design Collective, that you can join. We are currently moving through, um, we just started a little like challenge sort of of tracking the moon through our charts for the next moon cycle. So the moon just moved as I'm recording this. The moon just moved into Cancer. We're gonna be tracking it until it goes to Gemini. Understanding how to work with the moon. Um, there are daily drops in there around transits, human design, downloads. There's a QA section, there's a share section. So it's a really beautiful space. So that you can join also in the link below. Follow me on Substack, Instagram, socials, all of the things. Okay, so now let's get into Uranus and Gemini. So Uranus is known as the great awakener, right? Uranus is always awakening us to truths. That's the purpose. It's change, it's revolution, it's rebellion, right? It's very centered on freedom. Um, oftentimes these truths that we're faced are really uncomfortable. They're shocking, right? Because this is like electrical impulses in the body. This is the nervous system, it's the higher mind, and it's shock. It's shock and it's truth. It's revolution, it's rebellion. Again, freedom is a huge core theme of Uranus. And so then we have Uranus now moving into Gemini. Gemini is communication, Gemini is fact-finding, it's curiosity, it's ruled by Mercury, which is the conscious mind, right? Uran Gemini is social. So we look at social media, we look at our close neighborhoods, it's being social on that aspect. It's our siblings, right? The ones that we're kind of like more friendly with theoretically growing up, right? I mean, sibling, sibling rivalry is a thing. Um, but it is like those, those that are close to you. And so this is when Uranus dipped into Gemini last year. I mean, we have already had massive jumps in AI. I believe that social media is going to change dramatically. A lot of people are feeling the pull to get off of social media. I think that there's gonna be something that's gonna come along that will give the collective uh kind of what they're craving, maybe that commute, that connection, something different, but it's going to, I think it's gonna look dramatically different. It's really hard to like. I remember last summer, I when AI just started to like blow up, it was like I couldn't even go on social media. Like, I don't even know if I believe what I see anymore, right? Because it's just like all AI driven. So there's so many shifts that are already happening with Uranus moving into Gemini. Um, and so yeah, it's just it's it's gonna be really, really interesting uh to see what comes out of it. But this is sort of the themes that we're having. We're having freedom, rebellion, revolution around social media, communication, journalism, right? Uh, things that are close to us, being social. So, of course, looking in your wherever Gemini is in your chart is the area that is really going to be impacted. But when we look back to, you know, Gem Uranus has about an 84-year-old, 84-year cycle. It was first discovered in 1781, which is actually when human design was discovered. So human design goes on this Uranian um uh cycle. And another layer to that is that when we look at the nodes in human design, so the nodes in astrology are where we're heading and where we're where we find comfort, right? Where we want to move to and where we kind of lean into when we're triggered, are where we're the our path, our purpose for this current life and our past lives, cycles that we've repeated over and over again. In human design, when we look at this, we cut it, cut it, we we split it into the first 42 years of life, which is the first half of our uranium cycle, life cycle, is where we repeat the patterns of the south node. So, whatever that is for you. I have a Libra South node. I find feel this so strongly. It's so much easier for me to play a supporting role, for me to kind of like lean on other people, for me to like be kind of like the quiet, collaborative, um, very relationship oriented. Like, I want people that I'm in relationship with to like kind of be happy, like kind of that harmony and balance. I really don't like confrontation. Those themes are very prominent in my life. And as I get closer to 42, which is that Uranian, that sort of like midlife point, right? Like, then we move more towards that north note. So then the themes of Aries, of self-assertion, of leadership, of standing out, of taking bold action, of aligned action, those sorts of themes. And I've noticed it since I've had my nodal return, really this pull of Aries. But typically the north note is when we're where we're really uncomfortable, right? It can be very uncomfortable. So Uranus was discovered in 1781. Um, again, same year that human design split. Sorry, so human design was not discovered in 1781. In 1781, we split from a seven-centered traditional chakra system. So if you're not familiar with human design, you can go down in the show notes, grab your body graph. But the the body graph, you'll see your centers. In human design, there are nine centers. Before 1781, there were seven, right? So your seven traditional chakras, your root chakra, your sacral, your solar plexus, your heart, your throat, your ajna, and your crown. Now, when human design split in 1781, the year that Uranus was discovered, we now have the root, the solar plexus, the sacral, the spleen, the G center, the heart, the throat, the ajna, and the crown. So we had this split. Um, so yeah, 1781 was when Uranus was discovered, but Uranus was in Gemini from 1775 to 1782. It was then in Uranus from 1858 to 1865. It was then again in Gemini 1941 to 1948, and then now 2025 to 2023. So, okay, so Uranus and Gemini, 1775 to 1782, again, when it was discovered. So the American Revolution was what was happening during this time. Um, the first shot of the Revolutionary War was fired in Lexington in 1775, with Uranus at zero degrees of Gemini. The Declaration of Independence uh it was in 1776, and the war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Now, technol technologically, because Uranus is freedom, revolution, rebellion, but it's also a technology, and Gemini is social, it's the mind, it's communication, it's information, right? And so we had the steam engine working, circular saw was invented, of course, Uranus itself was discovered. Um and some other little like things that were that were um that were discovered around this time. Um it also says oxygen was identified, and the first hot air balloon flights were on the horizon. The industrial revolution was beginning to accelerate in Britain. So this really, the industrial revolution changed the way we man manufacture things. It really changed, it changed a lot of the way that we lived, a lot of our life. So that was a huge transformation at that time. And then again, in 1858 to 1866, Uranus was again, yet again in Gemini. And this was during the American Civil War, which was 1861 to 1865. Um, the emancipation proclamation happened this year. And um technologically, uh, this was a communication revolution, which Uranus and Gemini will be. Uh, the first transcontinental telegraph started in 1861. Uh, the Pony Express briefly delivered mail in 1860 and um attempted to lay a transatlantic telegraph cable, failed in 1858, but was successful, successfully completed in 1866, was right before Uranus moved into uh or moved out of Gemini, so moved into cancer. And Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859. This was huge in evolutionary psychology, evolutionary, um, this is you know, information, education, really, really big, um, just in the way that we understand evolution right now. Um, and then in 1861, we also had the first color photograph. So these, again, are massive advancements in technology, in information, and the way that we communicate. And then move forward to 1941 to 1949 when Uranus was again in Gemini, World War II, Pearl Harbor, the Holocaust. I mean, those are massive political happenings in the world. And but technologically, so the what we consider now modern-day computers were discovered during this time as well, which was huge. This was like instant communication, right? When when you we have computers, information is delivered instantly. And we also had the atomic bomb um and everything related to that because Pluto was discovered, I believe, in 1930, if I'm not mistaken. That's kind of the signature of Pluto. So we can see that there are just like massive changes in technology, in communication, in information, the way that information was delivered, right? Because Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is the messenger of the gods, Mercury is the conscious mind, but it can be it can, Mercury can go into the underworld, which is the unconscious, right? And Uranus is that higher mind. And so, again, massive changes. Um, because it is the higher mind, because it is the collective memories, trauma, it wants us to remember our history and our past, right? Humans, as you can see, have a tendency towards violence, towards suffering, towards anger. I think it's human nature. And this is not fear-mongering. I don't believe there is right or wrong or anything, you know, especially specifically when it comes to astrology. I again, I believe the more aware we become, the more free will we have to choose what path we will be going down. And so as we wake up, yes, we can choose fear, we can choose anger, we can choose resentment, we can choose all of these things, we can choose to believe that Uranus and Gemini is gonna look like XYZ. And yes, through history, there's been a specific pattern with Uranus and Gemini. And also, if enough of us choose to see it or experience it in its highest expression, which I believe Uranus and Gemini, again, this is about freedom. This is about changing things. This is revolutionary changes in technology, revolutionary changes in the way that we communicate and transfer information. This literally could be us moving from, I mean, just like communicating without words. Like, I mean, there's just like so many, when you think about the potential of like the higher expression of this, is it's incredible, right? We're already having more people connecting with their intuition or psychic skills or being able to like communicate in that way. So why not? Why couldn't that be something that is enhanced during this time, right? So I I do believe that we get to choose. And Pamela Gregory, Pam Gregory, I don't know why I said Pamela, Pam Gregory will says over and over and over again, like, you get to choose if you're gonna put your eggs in the basket of fear or the basket of love. And then if enough of us put our eggs in the basket or our energy, the basket of love, like that's what is going to be the collective frequency. And so again, you get to choose. You get to choose. Um, and yeah, I think that it's I'm trying to decide where I want to go from this. I was I distracted myself for a minute. Um, I'm just making sure I like touched on everything that I wanted to touch on when it came to Uranus in um in Gemini through like the last few cycles that it's been there. Um commuters, yeah. I think that we touched on most of that stuff. So again, like we talked before about duality. Um Gemini is represented by the twins. Gemini is all about duality. I, you know, both my kids have really prominent Gemini in their chart. Um, and I just always especially with my daughter, she's a Gemini son, and she just cracks me up. Like, she when she tells a story, she uses different voices, different perspectives. I mean, it's just like literal, like if she tells a story, it is a Gemini to a T. And so Gemini holds duality. Gemini is the mirror in the tarot. Gemini rules the lover's card. And a lover's card isn't romantic. It doesn't have to be, it can be, but it doesn't have to be romantic. I think that the theme of the lover's card is that we can see the lessons, we can see ourselves mirrored in other people, right? There is a duality in that. And what can we learn from it? How can we experience it? What can it teach us? And nervous system regulation is a core theme here because again, Uranus is the electrical impulses in the body, Gemini and Mercury are the nervous system. And so, if we're not regulated in our bodies, which I would hope that Uranus through Taurus was really showing us and teaching us and supporting us in being regulated because it was asking for us to be more connected to our body, but we're really gonna need that nervous system regulation as Uranus moves through Gemini because it could disrupt our nervous system. And it's so important for us to be regulated and in our body. And coming inside and doing the work and being regulated. And you know, if you say, I don't have time for meditation, it literally, it it takes, it literally takes not that long. The moment you wake up in the morning, if you do nothing else but like change your morning habits, it will dramatically change your life. I promise. I wake up every morning and I've gotten into a practice of catching my thoughts because I will be completely honest. Usually when I wake up, my first thought is like, oh, I'm so tired. Can I go back to bed? And then I do, I switch it pretty quickly where I'm like, okay, I'm so grateful to be awake right now. Like, literally, as I get up and I go to the bathroom and then I journal, I'm trying to rewire my thoughts to I'm so grateful that I get to do whatever it is that I get to do today. I'm grateful that I get to wake up and have my coffee. I just like repeat these and then I do a DI, which is the self-hypnosis. So I'll do that first thing. And then I get up and I journal. And it's also, you know, as a parent, if you have children or if you have other people in your life that require your attention, it is as equal a practice to have your routine. So this morning, I again I wake up every morning and I do my DI and then I journal. And normally I do it in complete silence, and then I get my kids up. So I wake up early so that I can do all that before my kids get up. Well, my daughter's already up doing her make makeup and my son, he's the he's the Gemini moon. So he's got a lot of questions. He's got a lot to say all times of the day. And this morning I was starting to journal and randomly, he's usually the last one to get up. Like we have to be in the car at 6:50. He's usually rolling out a bit at 6:45. And I start waking him up at 6:15. But he woke up at six and came and just wanted to chat. And I found myself getting frustrated because I was like, I just want to finish journaling. Let me journal. But I'm like, it's equally a practice to be present with him in those moments as it is to like journal. So I was just like, okay, breathe. You know, sometimes we get so fixed in our routines, and sometimes that change, which is literally the lesson of Uranus and Taurus. We get so fixed in what feels comfortable and what works for us that when something comes in, it's so hard to be present with the thing, right? And so that was a huge lesson where it's like, can we be present with everything? We know like the power of now, like all these like presence really is where it's at. Can we be present with whatever is coming our way? Whatever lesson we're being asked to see. Can we be present? Can we be regulated? Can we be in our body? Because that's where the lesson is. Like this morning, yes, I wanted to journal. And also, my son wanted my attention, right? Like, what would the tomorrow, what would the me of tomorrow thank me for today? Would it thank me for telling him to go to his room and be quiet? Or would it thank me for just like sitting there and indulging him for five, 10 minutes before we go to school, right? Like I'm pretty sure tomorrow will be like, oh, I'm so glad you spent some time with your son, right? Like, and not just like dis dismissed him because you wanted to finish your journaling. Like my dreams will be there, you know, I can I can journal later. So it's it's equally taking advantage of that time and being adaptable. And I think that's you know, that balance, that the that duality, because again, everything, everything is duality. I'm reading some, you know, deeper human design um text, and I mean, and that's you know what it's saying, right? It's everything is duality. The yin, the yang, uh, masculine, feminine, form and and action, and it's just there's so much. Um, like I said, I think, yeah, a huge lesson for me personally over the last year is just that, like yeah, be present with what is and everything's possible at the same time. It's all fake. It's all fake. It's all fake. Literally, we live in the Maya. It's all fake. I mean, when you look at human design, you have your G center, which is that center um center, that middle center, the yellow center, depending on what you look at, whether it's defined or undefined, but the G-center is like that middle center in your chart, and that holds what we call the magnetic monopole, and that holds together your conscious and unconscious sides. If you didn't have this pole, this magnetic monopole, like we would just be like it, it holds it together, right? It holds the polarity, it holds the duality together. So it's just, yeah, it's we live in the Maya, it's all fake, and also it's reality and it's 3D. And it's in we're living in this world where we have to abide by certain laws, and also we don't have to, like, it doesn't matter. I it's just, I don't know. I it's one of those things that it's just it's humorous in when you see it, where it's like we worry so much about uh money and success and you know, whatever it is. And then it's like at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Like, can I be my best version of self? Can I be present with my kids? But there are also things that I want to do, right? Like, I want to travel the world, I want to show my kids the world, and that requires money. And also, we're in a time now where we get to choose our timeline. So things are gonna look dramatically different, you know. Like Dolores Candon was talking. I've I saw our uh talk on social media, it was like on a reel or something like that, but she was just like, the earth is earth is splitting. We have new earth and old earth. And they're all happening, they're both happening at the same time. We're just getting to choose where we want to go, right? Like you can have a society, you can have, you know, whatever if you're looking at the Great Depression, when you're looking at war, when you're looking at whatever it was, a stock market crash in 2008, whatever it was. Like, yes, collectively we had a certain pattern. And also there were people who were thriving, people who it didn't impact, right? In in the sense that we think, and so we do get to choose, is is what I'm saying. And I think this past year for me has, and maybe it's that I'm getting closer the to midlife or whatever, my whatever we want to call it, but it's like caring and not caring at all, like knowing that I don't know, even when I think about astrology, so you know, I spend so much of my time, my day, like consuming astrology, human design, spirituality. Like that's that's that stuff just lights me up. I am obsessed. I love it. I live for it. It's so amazing. And also, I know it doesn't matter at the end of the day. Like, I get to choose. And so, you know, I was trying, I was sitting to write the newsletter this past week, and just lately the newsletter has felt like more of a chore, and I was like, you know, this is another duality thing, but I was like, you know, I am so obsessed with this, and I'm doing this like out of an obsession, like I have to, but also I I want to love what I'm putting out, what I'm creating with that content. So the newsletter is gonna look a little bit differently. I I I don't want to have to be like feel obligated to do uh for it to look a certain way. And also, consistency is key. And also, I know that you know they say the 1% is the 1% because they're willing to do what not a lot of people are willing to do. And so it's like, okay, well, is the willingness to break away from the obligation or is the willingness to stick with obligation? I don't know. It's like I said, it's it's it's both true at the same time. And so I just am continue to ask myself that question. What would the to me, what would the me of tomorrow thank the me of today for doing? That's literally gonna be on repeat in my head. Um, but yeah, I that's that's what I have for you.
