The Unschool by Andi Alleman

Introducing Lifestyle Lab If you are ready to activate a lifestyle aligned with your highest self, this intuitive mastermind experience is for you. It offers a strategic space to reflect, experiment, and build expansive friendships for the year ahead. Join the Lifestyle Lab to make this year one in which you step into your most vibrant and thriving self. About this episode: When I consider purpose and how it’s discussed in this episode, it’s through the lens of what your soul incarnated on this planet to do. Typically our souls didn’t incarnate to do just one thing, and certainly, you didn’t incarnate solely to work. Your soul doesn’t expect that you had it all figured out by age 18. We incarnate to discover life — exploring life lessons, transformations, relationships, experiences, and how we make an impact. I love using the North Node in partnership with Human Design to truly get a sense of life purpose. In this episode, I’m reading the charts of Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, and Harry Styles to give you perspective on what these charts have to tell us. Exploring these charts via my Soul Strategy process gives us an opportunity to: discover our highest self, get clarity on big life transitions, diagnose misalignment, and release blocks. What Is The North Node In Astrology? The North Node is your destiny and north star. Our destiny and soul purpose are written in the stars, and you can unlock them by understanding the lunar nodes in your birth chart: the north and south nodes. The north node represents our growth areas and the life lessons we’re integrating. What Is The Incarnation Cross? The incarnation cross is comprised of four gates on your Human Design Chart. These are the four gates you’ve incarnated with to make your specific life experience the best it can be. Gates represent our gifts. The gifts of the incarnation cross were chosen by your soul before birth as you considered the life experience you were interested in having this go round. Each of these gates offers a specific set of learnings, practices, and information on purpose. The four gates on the Incarnation Cross are the two Sun gates and the two Earth gates. Learn more about purpose and these charts on the podcast blog. Want to chat about this episode?
