Stop Limping & Get Upright — Taurus New Moon

Uranus just moved into Gemini, and you're feeling the information overload. NOPE! You're not imagining it. This episode is your permission to put the phone down, drop back into your body, and let it lead as you listen. We're diving into the Taurus New Moon at 25 degrees, conjunct Mercury and Uranus in Gemini. This New Moon asks us for something specific: Not more analysis, not another framework, but a return to the pace of the body. In Human Design, this moon falls in Gate 8, the Taurus gate of Style. Not aesthetic style. Real style. Dangerous style. The kind that disrupts. The kind that rises up through you when you stop performing and start actually showing up. Its shadow? Mediocrity. You know, the slow disappearance that happens when you choose staying in the sameness as “safety” over your vivid, alive, and maybe terrifying-to-tell truth. Layered into this lunation is Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries. A new evolutionary sequence is beginning. But, you need to pay attention to catch it. To catch what? The new path. The new way. The just-slightly-diffent movement you could make.Specifically, we are talking about a novel way of meeting the wound of self-assertion. Mars meeting Chiron in Aries has been pressing you into action in exactly the place you've been avoiding. Stop limping. Stop avoiding the action that might hurt, but is actually in alignment. Stand up. We talk about what it actually means to heal the wound of self-assertion, and no, it's not comfortable. But, it is time.  What this looks like is walking upright on an injury that would rather limp. It's saying the emotionally true thing, risking rejection, bringing your heart into the room even when everything in you wants to manage the room & the outcome instead. The former throbbing with sensation; alive. The latter, bland & slowly dead inside. We also look at the North Node's move into Gate 55, the Pisces gate of Spirit and the realest question this new Nodal Axis is asking us: What is the quality of your Spirit? Victim or Freedom? And, if the latter, what does freedom actually mean when you strip away the fantasy of it?  This moon is for anyone who has been ruminating, metabolizing & circling the thing they need to say. It's time. Come back to the body. Speak from there. Stay upright. Breathe.  In this episode: * Uranus into Gemini: dispruption can be destabilizing or liberating * The Taurus New Moon in Gate 8: Your style is your contribution * Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries: Healing the wound of self-assertion * The limp & why staying avoiding pain keeps us stuck * Gate 55 & the North Node: Freedom or Victim?

Chaos Training, Play & Aries Energy

Chaos Training: New Moon in Aries, Gate 3 conjunct Chiron Episode by Alyssa | Magick in the Mundane Podcast | April 16, 2025 This episode is Alyssa's love letter to the April 17th New Moon in Aries at 27°, sitting in Human Design Gate 3 (Difficulty at the Beginning), conjunct Chiron — the wounded healer — and square Pluto. She calls this lunation "Chaos Training," and the name says everything.The central thesis: we have collectively lost the ability to play, and that loss is a wound around our right to exist boldly, playfully, and instinctually in our bodies. Gate 3 lives in the Sacral Center, the seat of life force energy and Eros. It's primordial, pre-narrative, pulse-on-pulse-off energy that doesn't know it's at the beginning — it is the beginning. And the beginning, by nature, is chaotic. Confused. Unmapped. Alyssa argues that we've been conditioned to perceive chaos as a problem to be solved through control, when in reality chaos is the medium of creation. Order is already there — we just can't see it until we're willing to be in our bodies, feel the rhythm, and play with what's alive. The Pluto square adds pressure. Pluto in Aquarius brings an information deluge that, without embodiment, keeps us stuck in the shadow of Gate 41 — hyperactive, dreamy, overwhelmed, unable to materialize anything. She weaves in the Channel of Mutation (36-0 defined), the Channel of Community (37-40), Terrence McKenna, Richard Rudd's Gene Keys, the Gate of Innocence (25), and the Gate of Limitation (60) to paint a picture of a collective moment: individual transformation seeding community mutation. The invitation is simple and radical — get in your body, practice being with sensation, dance in the discomfort, and trust that you were made for this.

Birth Pangs of Embodied Equality & Collective Emotional Waves

Through feeling, what is novel & coming will be birthed through us. S ince December 2025, 100% of us, collectively, have been under the influence of the tribal circuitry emotional wave called the Channel of Community. This wave is stepping us into embodied equality now through May 2026. If that wasn't demanding enough, January 31st, through the Solar Eclipse into the first days of Pisces season, the collective abstract Wave of Recognition is activated. This wave puts us under pressure to feel for a new way, a new experience, but it can get sidetracked when we come under the illusion that our ultimate potential is to be happy. It's not. This collective wave asks us to feel EVERYTHING , all the way through, then to recognize what we are feeling. Through feeling what is coming will be birthed through us. TUNE IN!
