    Nisarg Nikiel on experimentation and deconditioning, HD as a map, teaching in aura, and Reflector immersions (Part 2)

    Nisarg Nikiel is a 2/4 Reflector, a certified Human Design Analyst and Teacher, with a rich background in energy therapies and psychological practices, including time spent with Osho in Poona. Nisarg's initiation into Human Design began in 1999 with a reading from Ra Uru Hu, followed by extensive training under Ra's guidance. With over 21 years of experimentation in the Human Design System, Nisarg now shares her wisdom and experience through live teachings and training sessions worldwide.

    In Part Two of today's podcast, we continue our conversation with Nisarg, discussing the process of experimentation and deconditioning. We delve into what happens at a Reflector Immersion Retreat, examining Human Design as an energetic map and our relationship to it. We revisit the concept of space, the quality of waiting and noticing, and how to navigate life's pressures. We also touch on teaching in person versus online, and future opportunities for Reflector immersions. Nisarg shares the possibility of moving from the not-self to no self and it is an incredible relief in a world that is often obsessed with identity.

    Maria Mateus on astrology as a language, life as a journey and the birth chart as our itinerary, and much more

    Maria Mateus is a 6/3 Emotional Manifesting Generator on the Left Angle Cross of Duality. She has been studying and practicing astrology since her teens and has recently come off the roof in her 6th Line process. Maria has a BA in Psychology and one of a handful of MA degrees in Astrology from Kepler College. Her research has culminated in a deep understanding of astrology as a language apart from its common use as a kind of personality typing system.

    In this episode, we discuss some of the key areas of focus in her work including the birth chart as a story of becoming, life as a journey, and the chart as our itinerary, polarities, and the compensatory nature of signs. We also touch on timing and the turning of the birth chart, and explore how the spiritually “good” charts are the challenging ones, along with several other common misconceptions in astrology. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

    Gary Christen with a brief history in the field of astrology, how astrology reflects culture, individuals and mutation, and a forecast for the future

    In this episode, we spoke with Gary Christen, a 2/4 Sacral Generator and well-known practitioner of Uranian Astrology (and its developing expression as Symmetrical Astrology). An astrologer since his teens, he is the first person in modern times awarded an accredited B.A. degree in astrology from Livingston College at Rutgers University in 1974. A professional astrologer since 1969, Gary co-founded and is the current president of Astrolabe, Inc., assisting in the development of many Astrolabe products and is an encyclopedia of astrological knowledge.

    Gary takes us through a wild ride and history lesson in the field of astrology including the beginning of his astrological journey in the 60s and the many individuals who contributed to the process. He shares some background on the Uranian system of astrology and the early days of astrological computing. He emphasizes how astrology is always the product of the culture in which it was developed and how mutation often comes through a single individual. He touches on some of the challenges we’re faced with today in terms of astrological education and gives us a sense of hope for astrology and humanity in the future.
