There is a particular kind of discomfort that comes with understanding that something new is emerging from within.

My body has been recording this passage sometimes as tension in the fascia, the membrane that holds water while binding muscle and bone together.

This is a beautiful membrane that is allowing fluids and flow at the same time.

It is like a breath that wants to go deeper, as it aspires within the rib cage and then slowly releasing, making space for what is new.

This is a feeling pulled in more than one direction at the same time, but the interesting thing is that the orientations are not what matters; what matters is the flow, aware, aspiring, and exhaling.

This is a new sensation of the self that has slowly been metabolized in the last years but now starts being shaped.

Even though I do not have a final definition, I can sense it in the body; it comes here first, so the threshold is here.

The discomfort I feel is how my life is composting and metabolizing itself.

It is not discomfort in the sense of pain; there is no pain, there is no emotional pain, there is no physical pain.

It is just an adjustment that has to happen on a moment-to-moment basis.

It is productive and real, and even though I am speaking words, the resolution is not in the mind or with logic.

It is more the adaptation of this flow on a moment-to-moment basis, with the body at its center.

I will say this is a Renaissance being born again from the inside out, as I carry everything that I have learned, surrendered, and lost, while none of the definitions built around it can comprehend what is transforming. I love this French word borrowed into English somewhere in the 1800s. The Italian artists who lived it first called it “rinascita,” rebirth. And yet, it was not a return to innocence. They were returning to what had always been there: the human body, the direct study of nature and anatomy. Somehow, a return to the classical forms, but seen with new eyes.

To be born again is not from nothing but from a full weight of everything already experienced. Time is teaching me to enjoy every moment, as mysterious as I can appear to others. There have been times when I went through the process of trying to explain myself, like in my first book, The Nature of My Reality, which, when read out loud, was my own echo. I realized that the mystery of my individuation was best kept as such. I did not need to explain myself to others, but I did.

I come back to the natural posture of someone whose depth cannot be compressed into a stage format, a place of performance, nor to a category that defines and limits at the same time.

It is through the experience of knowing, not knowing, and trusting the divine that allows this persona to be sensed but not grasped, like water through the fingers, what stays is the essence of the felt sense not the density of the water, fluid, flowing, gone.

Compression of that kind multiplies confusion. What is actually present is a synthesis, and a synthesis does not fit inside any container built to hold a single discipline. The process is the emergence of an insight, a poem, a reading, a vector, a color, a shape, a moment in time. A synthesis is the process of integration that begs to be lived and not to be ingested through the mind.

The new cycle is learning to trust that: acting from discernment on a moment-to-moment basis rather than from a fixed identity, allowing the creativity to be the truth rather than the explanation of it.

Right now there is a configuration in the sky called a Yod, a finger of God. Two points of concentrated pressure converge into a single apex in my chart. One point carries the plutonic energy of deep transformation of evolution happening at the level of identity itself as it rises on the Ascendant. The other carries the energy of a new face: new ways of initiating, of being supported, of communicating what I know through structure.

Both of these pressures are pointing at the same place in my chart: Uranus in Virgo in the seventh house, the planet that rules my Ascendant. The planet that governs how I meet the world and what liberates me from within it. At the same apex, the South Node of the Moon is passing through, asking what has run its course with a lot of discernment. These three together produce a sensation I discover in this body: with no pain. It is a threshold that needs to be adjusted at all times.

A lot of stuff that I have been doing last year is detaching myself from an old identity. Whether it is closing my LLCs, dropping everything that is still attached to the company I once opened with my ex after ten years of being divorced, I was still attached to it, not energetically, but it was still there for convenience. This year has been more about caring less about convenience and more about authenticity and cutting cords that are energetic and carry a weight that is unnecessary, absolutely dissolving into the past.

It has been a process of revising pretty much everything and what works and what does not work, especially with all the planets in my second house of value. I realized that what I need are basically the new resources and education I have been getting in the last ten years, and how they are serving me to establish a new field that is very different energetically from the one I was brought up with and have lived until now.

What started as an uncomfortable feeling has developed into understanding that this is the process of rebirth. Like all births, it is uncomfortable to leave one place for another. I am already on the other side of the threshold, so what I feel now is the excitement of it.

This is a time of application. For years, the oppositions in my chart have been the engine: sun opposing moon, Saturn opposing Uranus. Two poles always generating a third way, a synthesis that neither pole contains alone. That friction has been the methodology of my entire life.

Now the squares are activating and the quincunxes as well. Neither of those is for synthesis. They ask for adaptation or just movement; they ask for human action; they ask for purposeful behavior. This is the moment where everything that has been synthesized converts into something directed and real that I can grasp and I can ground myself to keep flowing.

The resources are here. They are already built: an operational system that grounds the exploration, courses and data converted and integrated into tools that make the knowledge available. A book finishing itself from the inside out.

What is asked of me right now is to trust what I have been put into motion and let it work, let it unfold naturally. The work now is to release the material into the world, not to return to its depths, to let the material generate.

Venus and Uranus meet tomorrow at the last degree of Taurus, the final point of eight years of excavating what is truly of value. The last degree of a sign carries a full weight of everything that sign has taught, distilled into its closing transmission. They meet at the foundation of my chart in the house of the roots, the family, my ancestors, who gave me an emotional body and also what made me feel safe.

They will both cross into Gemini together one day before my birthday. Uranus enters Gemini for the first time to stay after many decades, arriving in my solar return as a new era, seated at the base of everything I am building.

The flavor of Gemini is not the same as the excavation of Taurus. It is faster, more versatile, alive with connection and movement of ideas across forms. Last summer, when Uranus briefly touched Gemini, I felt it: without grounding it scatters. The work of the last year has been exactly that: building the foundation. The operational system, the tools, the courses, the synthesis made available through technology; that is a container built before the transit arrived. Low time preference applied to the life of mind. Now Uranus enters Gemini with something and somewhere to land.

In this moment of my life, there is a new rebirth. Value is a big deal. In fact, the whole book is built on that. This second book will not be an explanation; it will be an embodiment.

The timing of my becoming is the right timing because it has been developed over the course of many years. Nothing has not happened because it did not have to happen. Everything that happens and is happening, I do not want to say it is predestined, but it has been developing, and I have been able to make use of it because I have become aware of it.

To be continued. Happy birthday to me.

The Fool moves with risk and rhythm, sometimes feeling butterflies in the stomach while leaning into the unknown and trusting it. I am sharing this beautiful song from WU LYF’s newest album, “A Wave That Will Never Break,” kudos to my friend and his bandmates.

What happens when you leave space for yourself? You don’t do it in just one day that you cross off the calendar and cancel your appointments, so you decide to go out for a walk and keep walking the whole day without caring about the things that you’re leaving behind. No. I mean something more profound than that. What happens if you take time and space for that part of yourself that didn’t even know it needed that space? It needed that time. What happens? Something marvelous happens.

It feels like the space was there when I stopped rushing for my phone so I could check on people I care about, sending them things. I was not engaged with that anymore; I decided to disengage completely from my caring side to see what would happen to Monika when she’s not holding space for others and allows her own space to speak.

Over the last year, this happened to me, and I was finally integrating it, and it’s such a beautiful feeling that I’m at a loss for words, although I need those words because I’m finally putting together the whole process that went from me walking and talking to myself, realizing I had a structure that I wanted to follow. Then I allowed that structure to form a kind of spine, and as that spine was forming, it was allowing, breathing, and shaping itself, slowly receiving the flow that needed to create the space. From occupation, to beautiful self-caring silence.

Today is April 8th, one year since Bitcoin’s price touched the bottom after the previous all-time high in December 2024. It gave a different tension to the chart, and I’m in a deep realization and a state of wonderment. What happened in these 365 days?

A year ago I was tracking Venus retrograde not just my personal chart but also financially, and I noticed something that W.D. Gann also worked with when he brought mathematics and astrology into financial graphs. From there, price moved again toward the all-time high until October 2025. This is what led me to start seriously looking at financial charts, harmonics, and monitoring the wavelength as a way to also track my nervous system. I know it sounds crazy, but that’s what it is.

I am enjoying the contrast the outside reflects with the inside, I am not a psycho, as I have really focused more on all my infinite possibilities. Someone who has inspired me in the last year is Professor Edward Frenkel. I’m dropping below his latest video, “Math Gives Us Hope for the Future”. Every time I listen to him and hear his soft voice with his beautiful Russian accent and his sparkling eyes, he just looks like a little boy in the playground when he speaks about mathematics. It gives me so much hope. It moves me.

This week, if you want it, brings lightness while the heaviness outside makes no sense, one bluff after the next, nothing feels real… but I am counter offering the idea of becoming light as a feather. There’s also light, hope, a different quality of life. It’s there for you all. All you have to do is align to that frequency and start embodying it.

One of the most inspiring, beautiful things in this video, Frenkel says, “the fact that we all perceive mathematics in the same way means that our minds are connected and so we’re all connected to each other”.

I want to say to Professor Edward Frenkel that I did not do well in school with mathematics, maybe because I could not find a point of entry and it led me to close myself to it. I was trying to understand them from my logical side, but I couldn’t tap into them. I failed them every year, even though my mind operates in patterns, the way I was taught just didn’t compute.

I’ve been using mathematics in the last ten years pretty much every day when I practice astrology. If you see, the first part of the word is the stars part, and the logos is the part where it makes sense. Astrology is based on numbers, based on the positions of the stars in the sky, and the relationships between them. We have to use mathematics, geometry, and harmonics to understand these relationships that validate themselves with the cycles of these celestial bodies, which is what we call astronomy.

Guess what these four form? the QUADRIVIUM, the four ways, defined as the four mathematical sciences: Arithmetic (number in itself), Geometry (number in space), Music (number in time), and Astronomy (number in space and time). These subjects were considered to be the preparatory study for philosophy and theology, and later in medieval universities as a way to understand the created order, as scholars believed the universe was constructed according to geometric and harmonic principles.

Of course, there’s another layer that comes from what Jung called the unconscious and the archetypal forms that have been attached to these relationships and phases.

The interesting thing for me is that I learned about mathematics through harmonics and through geometry, and I have such a profound love for Pythagoras as well, and for what he brought to the world. Lately, I have found true love for Gurdjieff, because through his teachings I’ve been able to understand how to apply mathematics in my life. The opportunities of certain aspects create a space for me to be able to break free from conditions that I thought were static and were already stagnating. These intervals that happen in music and in nature are the place where I tap into applied mathematics and applied psychology.

In my offerings, you will find different ways that I have arrived at applying mathematics, for example Bitcoin; it became a way to understand scarcity and its finite quality and to feel what that actually means in real terms of value and self-esteem as it relates to our essential needs.

Have you noticed in the last few weeks that you’ve been renegotiating the way you relate to the world and your values, and you tap into the Uranian energy in Taurus at the last degrees, where these resources suddenly make you realize that if you don’t stand for your value, nobody else will?

I’ll guide you into that same electric curiosity and luminous clarity in your life, your chart, and how you make economic decisions. Everything I’m sharing comes from this same process of creating space, while fully understanding structure, as I am able to move with it instead of feeling trapped by it. From failing in maths class to actually living through logic.

Aristotle knew that you cannot build a life on assumptions and you have to find that fundamental substance that primal beginning where a thing is simply itself and A cannot be not A if you want to stop the chaos and finally see the gap. As he writes in Metaphysics Book IV: “the same attribute cannot at the same time belong and not belong to the same subject in the same respect. First principles or Arché (Ancient Greek: ἀρχή.)1

The behavior in society is what he called ‘Politeia’, which is the origin of the term ‘politics’. Now it is very fundamental to understand that, without individual responsibility, any civilization can be out of alignment because politics is the behavior of the collective and that individual action is what Ludwig von Mises called Human Action, you see? they are interwoven. No self responsibility leads to a society that acts with degeneracy, and gets easily corrupted, no matter how much moralistic views abound if integrity doesn’t stand well on first principles.

Therefore, for me, it is necessary that we have a solid foundation to find new ways to connect, to be eloquent, and behave more civilized. I’m a very emotional person that has worked for years, and I have learned to stay with my emotions long enough to channel them into a response. I take time to respond because I have an emotional authority.

What happened since I started studying praxeology a few years back is that it gave me the option to look at opportunity cost as the most important decision I make in every moment, shaping the outcomes I experience. Human action is a fundamental state of awareness rooted in logic. If I don’t start with fundamental truth, with first principles, during dialogues or argumentation, while I stay with the logic, everything flows; if I engage emotionally, things turn to chaos. Arché, first principles, can lead to prosperity.

There’s something very real happening right now with how fast everything is moving, especially financially. It matters to me that you have access to understanding it and moving through it with clarity.

I created a self-study Bitcoin course for $88. If you feel you want support, I can onboard you and guide you through it one-to-one, and that full experience is $333. You can begin with the $88, and within 30 days move into the rest, and we’ll have a number of calls where I support you directly.

At the same time, I’m offering the Evolutionary Astrology Foundation course. This one is very important to me because it is based entirely on the work & direct transmission of Jeffrey Wolf Green and Mark Jones, who I’ve been working with closely over the last year and a half as a therapist and astrologer.

I decided to teach it exactly as it was transmitted by Simon Vorster to me because it’s so well done that it stands on its own. It’s pre-recorded, so you can move through it at your own rhythm, and if you want to engage with me, we can also work one-to-one. The recordings on their own are $333, and the full experience, with me guiding you, working through charts together, and supporting you applying everything, is $1,080. By the end you can read the main theme of the chart, yours, or any others…

I’m also opening a new cohort as a Human Design study group, which is much more of an embodied space. We meet twice a month, and we work directly with our chart, our energy, and how we are responding to what is already unfolding. This is a penta structure, five people only, and I facilitate it.

Human Design also carries a deep mathematical structure, and it gave me a way to understand time cycles in a very embodied way. It connects directly to I Ching, the hexagrams, and the ancient Taoist cosmology that I studied with a master for 12 years while I was living in New York.

2027 is approaching, the Cross of Planning is closing, and this becomes a space to actually feel how you are moving within that, how you relate to your authority, and how you engage with all of this in a way that feels supportive and aligned. The Cross of Planning used logic through institutions, and that is what is dissolving. I describe logic as something I arrive at through my own experience, as internal coherence. I have done the work of integrating my emotional field, my timing, and my body awareness, and from that place, when I engage with others, I use logic so that what I say lands clearly and carries direction.

The Cross of Planning placed logic outside of us, and now I experience it as something that moves through me, because when emotion moves too quickly it can take over the moment, and I have learned to stay with it long enough so that when I speak, what comes through is organized and connected to what is actually happening. Emotion is alive through signal, logic becomes language, and through action we shape our destiny.

We are entering the cross of the sleeping phoenix and this is a whole individual realm we will need to tap in the near future.

And of course, I continue doing one-to-one readings for anyone who needs support. I don’t usually speak about this here, but it feels right to open it.

I’ve written my first book, and the second one has taken time because I needed to understand many things more deeply, and now I do, so I’m putting my energy into bringing that forward as well.

As I close this, I’m becoming very aware of which parts of myself I have already let go of, which parts have dissolved into the ether, and who I am actually taking with me, trusting the unknown by being wild, by being funny, by being silly, by being curious, and mostly by being loved.

This last image I received during a meditation a couple of days ago. In it, I asked my father, who died when I was eight. Since then, it’s rather unusual to tap into his energy, but it’s something that I’ve been slowly making space for, so I was able to connect to him. I asked him, “Hey, can you tell me more about our ancestors?” We were in a library set up, which was his favorite place, surrounded by lots of books. I thought he was going to show me a book or something, but he just pointed up and said, “Your ancestors are the light.” I just felt so much love.

Have a great creative week…

2027 is approaching and although it is not a prediction, ‘cause we are already wary of it, the cross of planning is closing. When Uranus finally enters Gemini at the end of April, and Jupiter moves to Leo this summer while the nodes shift axis to the Aquarius/Leo, we will feel plenty of sparks within and without.

Today is Easter, the season of rising kings and queens, we have all risen, for we are all becoming. Let the next weeks finally bring a furious and climactic outcome. With peace or without it, life keeps creating, every day all the time.

I have felt compelled to start doing new things, new ways of communicating, just trying new perspectives, I have been spending valuable time engaging in new methodologies that include plenty of play as a basic foundation, also including fascia movement in my body. It has been a beautiful introspective first trimester.

And all of these things lead me to a sense of pure JOY on a moment to moment basis. I had recently transiting Saturn squared my nodal axis. Where am I coming from, what I have left behind, and what kind of orientation am I bringing as a human?

I had a MAJOR breakthrough after the March 3rd lunar eclipse that will be manifested as the last text written in my book: The Art of Synthesis, and the Architecture of my Value.

The ignition is set, the inner messages are clear now. Mercury RX in Pisces created an inner dialogue to what we call the divine spark, and when it met the north node, it created an orientation that Mars had recently initiated in the same spot.

The body knows that the last chapter with the set of keys is gone, and the starting point of the clock is set back to zero. Everything set back to zero, and here we go. »» Amazing feeling. LFG!

If you’ve been cooking stuff in the last month(s), if you’ve been fortunate enough, like I have been, to spend quality time away from my thoughts and more focused on my response mechanism, on my nervous system, then probably you know that this ignition point is quite amazing.

If you feel that you are more aligned with your inner soul, and all the disruptions that you see outside of yourself are not keeping you from being disconnected or distracted, because actually disruptions are breakers of flow that allow and give us blind spots, or tensions, crises, even confrontations. These are the points to focus on.

These early degrees of Aries are squaring my nodal axis. It has been telling me for the last year, with Saturn and Neptune there, that my orientation, is slightly different. And I listened to that for a whole year. And I’m coming with the goods. And here I am »» Let’s start testing this.

Opening up the shades and looking at the sun—the life force, the light, that red light that arises every morning before I step into my balcony to sun gaze—what gives me light, what gives me life.

It is the understanding that stepping into the space where the light is, it’s an action that I take, that I’m drawn to because the light, the life force, is what fuels my presence on this planet Earth. And it gives me a sense of accountability, responsibility for the service that I sign up for by being a human on this Earth.

If anything, I’m very grateful for my life. I’m very grateful for living in these strange, weird, both ugly and beautiful times because I don’t see only one side. I see the potential. I see the light. I see the emergence of what we’re building. And again, thinking about the collective as the potential for our solar expansion, our fulfillment in creativity is what’s going to reshape the dawn of this new turning.

I want you to understand my thesis: we are in a very important moment in time where everything is a big reset, and the individual is given the opportunity to become educated into actions that are willful and can be turned into new possibilities of change rather than compliance. That’s a sweet and privileged place to be!

"Law is nothing else than an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community, and promulgated."

— Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

(Note: Aquinas argues that a "law" that is not reasonable is not a law, but a perversion of law—this is the root of my "lawfulness" argument.)

Without contrast there is no mutation

I’m bringing two things into this article that have been sitting in my draft box since mid-March: the realities of digital property and the consequence of ignorant compliance. In addition, not understanding the main difference between legality and lawfulness sends a vacuum to what standing for one’s rights really is. Understanding the main difference between government “censorship” and complying with terms of agreement with digital platforms that are private companies... These are mutual contracts one abides by.

Consent is the boundary.

The Fourth Turning, the 2027 Human Design Cross of Planning ending, the Age of Aquarius, the Kali Yuga. Names are unimportant, you can sense it now. The era of bartering with institutions to secure our services and our survival—a cycle that has governed us since 1615—is finally over. We are moving into the individual stream of the Sleeping Phoenix, a shift that is starting now and will only become more defined from 2027 onwards. The chaos is beautiful; only mutation occurs in times of chaos.

Due to the history that we’re coming from, after six years from the terrible lockdowns and mandates, these were imposed only because people actually signed up for this compliance ignorantly.

It was a test, and everybody failed; there were only a few people, and I’m included, who did not fall for the scam.

Some of us used the time to learn more about sovereignty, and the critical nature of decision-making. We also studied the energy of money and the profound difference between what is merely legal and what is truly lawful, arriving at the understanding of what freedom really is: the power to have more than one option, because otherwise, you have no choice. and you are a slave of something or someone. And that’s when I discovered that logic was going to be my ally for the rest of my life.

"All rights are property rights, and all property rights are reducible to rights in the physical body."

— Stephan Kinsella, Against Intellectual Property

Willfully Ignorant

Ignorance is natural; it belongs to being human. It means there are things I do not yet know, areas I have not explored, questions I have not asked. Holding a vacuum that is available for movement.

Ignorance moves when attention is placed on it, by opening, it shifts, it transforms through engagement.

Willfulness introduces direction: a pointed target which denotes an act of the will. Ignorance, instead, is the moment where the individual turns away. Even when the information is available, even when something can be seen, because seeing it carries responsibility and consequence.

"The basic axiom of libertarian political theory holds that every man is a self-owner, having absolute jurisdiction over his own body. In effect, this means that no one else may justly invade or aggress against another's person."

— Murray Rothbard, The Ethics of Liberty.

Compliance

From Latin: com—together, with; plere—to fill. To comply is to align, to move in accordance, to fill oneself alongside another structure. It moves through participation through alignment and settles without requiring full awareness. Compliance begins through disengagement.

There was a moment when I realized that not knowing is not the problem. There are things I don’t know, things I haven’t studied, things I haven’t questioned yet. That feels open and alive, there is movement in it.

There is another state, I could feel something didn’t fully make sense, something felt slightly off, and I did not go further. I could see that going further would require reorganizing something in my life, and I stayed where I was. That is the moment where ignorance becomes willful moving quietly. It feels like postponing, procrastinating and like saying: “I will look at it later. I will come back to this.” When the return does not happen, that space fills with limitations.

I started noticing how many things I was participating in without fully understanding. Platforms, permissions, terms I didn’t read, systems I trusted because everyone else did; nothing felt forced. Everything felt normal, holding the invisibility. There is a moment where you realize you are already inside the structure, that you walked into it willfully. It sounded convenient and efficient, like things were working.

Then something small appears, you hesitate before doing something. You sense something off and your instincts check if it is allowed. You also wait for confirmation, in that pause lies the metamorphosis.

The body is the first boundary »»»> If I don’t own my body, every action I take becomes conditional. I move when I am allowed, I act when it is permitted, I access when it is granted. Ownership becomes access, access becomes permission; permission becomes dependence. And dependence sets the terms of your movement.

Ten years ago, I was moving inside a structure I did not fully see, doing what was expected, aligning with a path that promised recognition while negotiating within dynamics where my leverage was limited, and although nothing was careless and I was precise with my contracts, what was being given away was not written, it was the space I was not holding for myself, a subtle compliance that lived in what I allowed, in what I normalized, in what I did not question, even as my body signaled and I continued moving past it.

Now there is a pause, there is breathing, I let my emotional wave move before I decide, I take time before I sign anything even if it shines, I look, I research, I ask myself whether this holds me or restricts my movement in the short term and beyond, and during the lockdown my body was clear and I said it out loud, I will not comply, and that clarity came from listening, from recognizing what expands me and what confines me as I move.

There is a moment where something does not align, you feel it before you understand it. A question appears: “Why do I need permission for this?” That question interrupts the automatic consenting. Attention returns, you may start reading the small print again, while you start questioning it. As you notice where and why you are agreeing thus participation becomes intentional. Your freedom lives in awareness, ignoring it reorganizes the structure of your life around something external, an outer authority.

"The man who refuses to judge, who neither agrees nor disagrees, who declares that there are no absolutes and believes that he escapes responsibility, is the man responsible for all the blood that is now shed in the world."

— Ayn Rand, The Virtue of Selfishness

The Lineage of Law

Legality and lawfulness differ in origin and application, legality follows what is written and enforced in statutes, lawfulness follows what is aligned with natural order and consequence, inalienable rights, civil law codifies and administers through centralized authority, common law develops through precedent and lived application, you can rebut when you stand in your law, your rights, and equity intervenes where strict rule produces imbalance, restoring proportion through remedy; these operate together within a system of order, one enforces structure through statutes, another evolves through use, and another restores balance when structure moves out of proportion.

There is a lineage that has approached this question through first principles, through an axiomatic understanding of the individual, its human action. There is a continuity in how humans have tried to understand what governs ownership via self-responsibility. It is not beginning now, and it does not depend only on technology.

Cicero speaks of a law that is not written by men; a law that exists in accordance with nature, accessible through reason, constant, and unchanging. In his language, law is not a decree; it is something discovered. John Locke brings that into the structure of property, grounding it in the self. The individual owns his body, his labor, and by extension, what he mixes his labor with.

Property is not granted; it is derived from being.

Murray Rothbard sharpens this into a rigorous framework: self-ownership becomes the axiom. From there, Natural Law defines what is permissible: no aggression, no coercion, no violation of another’s property. Ethics becomes a solid structure, defining the difference between what is lawful in principle and what is declared legal in practice.

"True law is right reason in agreement with nature; it is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting... we cannot be freed from its obligations by senate or people."

— Cicero, De Re Publica

Where It Meets the Present

The terrain has shifted, yet the principles remain the same. Property extends into information, identity, and access to it. Far away from only land, body, or object. What I know, what I sign, what I store, and what I transmit all begin to carry the same weight as physical property. Preparation requires knowledge.

Digital systems are being built to organize access of identity, and willing participation. The language used is familiar: it deals with security, probably with convenience. But when identity becomes a credential issued, when participation requires continuous authorization, when ownership is mediated through systems that can be updated, restricted, or revoked, the nature of property shifts, hence conditional.

One of the most important examples today is Apple iPhone OS making users upgrade their operating systems to allow certain governments access to your identity, asking you to identify yourself and your age under the pretense of protecting children. You have to know what you are signing.1

This is the delicate threshold, so who holds the key?

In practice, a choice appears in the moment where I am required to answer within a legal structure, and that choice depends on whether I understand the difference between legality and lawfulness. Legality asks if I followed what is written and enforced, if I filed, responded, or complied with what was required. Lawfulness asks a different question, whether the claim itself stands on valid ground, whether there is proper jurisdiction, whether my rights are being affected, whether consent is being assumed, and whether what is being asked is proportionate. From that understanding, I can proceed accordingly, I can respond through procedure where it applies, and I can stand in my rights where it matters, challenging the basis of the claim, correcting the record, and withholding agreement where no obligation has been established, as I did when mandates attempted to cross the private property of my body. Equity enters where balance needs to be restored, especially when the strict application of rule produces distortion or harm.

A Delicate Threshold

This is an invitation to see things clearly. I will by no means reject technology, because technology is just giving me the tools to live in the times that I live. Tools extend capacity; they always have. The question has never been the tool; it has been the relationship to it. Natural law does not disappear in a digital environment; it does continue to operate with the same clarity.

Consent still matters because self-ownership is key, coercion will bring consequences if you allow your rights to be taken away willfully due to your ignorance.

The difference is that the interface becomes subtle, which means discernment becomes central. I could give you a list of things to do and not to do, but that’s not my purpose. That’s not what I’m designed for.

I’m here to inform that there are multiple ways of getting around this. First and foremost, as an individual, you always have a choice.

Now, if you don’t make decisions at the correct time, because you’re confused or under the influence of people, situations, or things; you probably arrive at a point of crisis. That is when decisions are not going to be the best, because you’re going to react from fear.

Maybe if you take time to study and ask questions when you enter a new space—whether it’s digital or physical, whether it’s crossing a boundary and being asked for your biometrics or your fingerprints—>please stop and realize: what does consenting really mean and many things including tAx3S are voluntary, and where is that going to take you? Not just in the next moment, but in the next year or the next decade, because we are slowly allowing this compliance to become the norm.

The best way is to know the enemy. To know what they’re looking for, but not live in a state of fear, or paranoia, or full of conspiracy theories—because that’s not the right way to live.

The right way to live is: if I don’t know, I should learn. Because again, ignorance is something that depends on your will.

Reclaiming the Key

We are moving away from the judgmental polarities of the past and towards a vertical line of personal Integrity that is grounded in first principles. Freedom is the power to have more than just one option. You want to get away from slavery—any kind of slavery: financial, emotional, institutional.

Reclaiming your key is a physical application of the will that starts with human action. You bank yourself with cold wallets. Nostr2 is a social platform where you own your own keys and access. Nobody will ever push you out. Read contracts and see what you are applying to, just because you want to be faster and get more stuff done, simply understanding that your body is the first property and consent is the Boundary.

In early May, Uranus will be squaring the lunar nodes at the very first degrees of the mutable signs, a tension that calls for a different orientation, where what cannot be perfected must be surrendered or it will move into another realm. Electrifying energy begins at the end of April and extends until mid June; what feels restrictive now could appear as a shift in timelines, an equilibrium between the density of the body and the electricity of the wavelengths that carry the energy to upgrade.

Uranus will be trined by Pluto in Aquarius and sextile by Neptune in Aries, while the South Node in Virgo creates a Yod, a Finger of God, from the end of April through mid June as it squares Uranus, with Neptune and Pluto holding the sextile, concentrating pressure into a precise point of adjustment, and a final unexpected activation unfolds when Mars joins Uranus and also square the nodes as Venus conjuncts the South Node, bringing themes of crisis as a last revision of values that initiates and pushes a new experience by the first week of July. I have held a deadline for May 9th that I set a few months ago to have all the operating systems tested for the new launch, and I have used technology to shift the focus toward refinement and acceptance that we are in a new dawn. Plan accordingly…

For May 6, this configuration holds as a field of activation where Uranus engages the nodal axis as a reorientation, bringing a disruption of trajectory, while Pluto in Aquarius supports deep structural change at a collective level, and Neptune in Aries opens a new current of vision moving into action. Saturn sits within this same field, giving form, boundary, and consequence to what is being initiated, asking that what emerges can be held in reality.

The shift has been in how thoughts are no longer the main stage; they are seen as part of a wave that animates my solar plexus, as Uranus entered Gemini last year in my fourth house, and that is when I started working deeply in the unconscious parts of myself that were wired during my upbringing and how I could begin to untangle them through somatic practice, whether through fascia and movement, deep breathing and humming, vibrational plate work, hypopressives; there is a whole list of things that I have been doing.

I took advantage of Uranus returning to Taurus in the fall, allowing my body to understand that this nervous system activation that will unfold in Gemini over the next seven years is something I can meet in the body so I do not become overwhelmed by erratic thoughts. With the nodal axis now in Virgo, the South Node is exactly on my Uranus in my seventh house, and I feel a release of ways of relating to others, to people, and to things, as this sits where the energy is less about perfection and more about discernment, and there is a sense that everything is aligning in a harmonious way.

The North Node is now on my natal Saturn in the first house, and I am taking responsibility for how I receive these opportunities. In terms of technology, I have been educating myself in new systems, especially working with LLMs from a functional place, as a way to create, to build systems, to become sustainable, and to use these tools in support of my livelihood, aware of a possible tendency to detach from physical reality. I have built MONIKA_OS, an operating system over the past months that includes a codex of my mind and all past works and how I operate, and it will be fully operational by May 9th.

I chose that date because, in Human Design, Gates 40 and 37 have been activated by the nodal axis until then, supporting a continuous energy toward loyalty and community, and I see the agents I have prepared function as members within my “local community” (what an imagination!). Transiting Jupiter in Gate 53 pressures and fuels my Gate 42.2 Mars in the sacral, and I feel the energy that opens and closes cycles, marking the end of a significant cycle while I still build a platform full of awareness.

In the next few weeks, there is an opening to engage in a more direct, initiating energy, a movement that does not confine but begins to shape what is to come. Around the middle of the month, as Saturn, Mars, and Mercury converge in Aries, there is a surge that can feel urgent, expressive, at times fiery, restrictive, and immediate, where energy wants to move and find direction, and where the mind may feel compelled to act or speak. That impulse can be observed, and if there has been a process of release and discernment, this becomes a moment to recognize what no longer holds, especially as Uranus begins its square to the nodes, marking the start of a deeper reorientation; no need to go to a battle unless your livelihood is at stake, use the archetype of initiation to take a space you did not know you had, own your new identity.

Have a good week.

I saw the truth of my own delusion.

I was projecting and I was having a relationship with my projection and with my own shadow.
What I wanted, like the kind of relationship that I was expecting, is something that I created in my head.

It was a transactional thing.
It was me trying to equate everything that I poured into the relationship and say, hey, you're not doing your part.

The big awakening came when I took away the light over the surface and switched the focus towards me.

That was the shift!

NOTE: I wrote part of this text as small posts that I shared in FOTT community, but I thought that it’s a universal thought process that I want to share with you as outer and inner conflict are one and the same. These days, I don’t feel like sharing that much. I’ve been in very slow-internal processes of decoding a bunch of projections that I didn’t know were my shadows hence decoupling from them has been extremely liberating. So when I saw the light, it was poof, like the brain emoji exploding 🤯 in slow-motion.

It could be something as visceral as the terrible, impregnating smell coming out of my windows that mixes stench with vices and that I can’t control, or any other outside triggers that turn me off my line of equilibrium. Smell, like noise, has no boundaries. It is my biggest challenge, as I am learning to integrate this through somatic awareness to stop blaming myself and carrying the weight for the ways I previously failed to notice red flags or care for my own needs first. Thus, the article that I wanted to put out about digital privacy is still in the draft box and will be posted in due time. Instead I decided to share the text below.

Conflict as Mutation

I’ve written about conflict (read hexagram 6 below) before from a Taoist cosmology slash Human Design perspective.

Here I’m bringing a different angle.

Heraclitus, who was a pre-Socratic philosopher, understood reality as constant flux. And Borges, the great Argentinian writer, used the metaphor of this flux in the river and time, where everything exists through continuous change. Heraclitus saw tension, or Polemos (πόλεμος), as the force that keeps the whole thing from falling apart, generating some sense of order, because the bow and the lyre depend on opposing forces held together.

I’m also bringing forward Gurdjieff, whose ideas I have made more operational and applied when I read financial charts, and, funny enough, I can reflect my nervous system through them. He speaks about intervals or shocks inside any process. He describes how any flat line that doesn’t have tension tends to lead to entropy.

When a movement begins, it follows the line and then it deviates. Without an additional impulse at that point, the process weakens or changes direction. With the right shock, it continues and transforms. That’s why we have transits in astrology with hard angles, like squares and oppositions, which are great opportunities to evolve.

A wave carries a frequency, yet it only becomes readable to variation, through points where the movement hits a wall, shaping the pattern and allowing the flow.

Conflict is that point of tension. It is the place where continuity alone turns into a flat line.

Through resistance and tension, the new can emerge. When I read financial charts, I’m always looking for those points of resistance, either where the price reaches a top or where it reaches a bottom or support. These are points of resonance, this is how I have learned to read anything that has a wavelength, whether financial charts, astrological charts, or my emotional body through my nervous system.

So I bring on the conflict for the sake of evolution, for the sake of mutation. The flow leads to deviation, to tension, to intervention, and to the emergence of a new alignment. That alignment will meet a different frequency and will resonate as something new.

Connecting back to Borges and Ars Poetica that I used in one of my artwork site-interventions back in the year 2000 and it’s here below. He writes in it that the river flows, yet it forms, and it is never uniform.

The identity of this river emerges through these variations, and it is the observer who meets these points as they read them and tries to find their own projection.

Conflict in a sense is when the pattern of tension triggers the opportunity to resurface, giving the human a place to evolve.

Hexagram 6: disengage

Things that I have learned in life:

Engage when it matters, disengage when it doesn’t. That’s the wisest thing I once learned.

Disengage from conflict as a device to protect your energy.

What I’m talking about is hexagram number 6, or in Human Design, gate number 6 that sits in the solar plexus. So therefore, time is part of the process.

Conflict doesn’t need you to rush into it. You feel it out, you give it a moment so you can actually see what’s going on instead of reacting on the spot.

Gate 6 is also creating a channel to gate 59 that sits in the sacral, which is what gives energy to things. It’s the house of the generator and it’s also talking about chemistry.

The question will be, should I engage, but also, is this the right energy to engage here?

Is there something real that can come out of this interaction? Something that can be generated, constructive, creatively contributing to the tribe?

What I’ve learned is that conflict, it’s about friction that can either produce something meaningful or just burn energy for no reason.

There’s a tension. What’s the tension for?

Is there something here that can lead to a connection, that can lead to clarity, to creativity, or is it just pure noise?

The right to choose if the conflict deserves energy, because not every emotional reaction requires you to step in.

I also make a difference between avoidance and disengagement.

Avoidance is when you back away because it feels like too much or because there is fear.

Disengagement is, it’s very logical, it’s clean. You see it for what it is, and you decide it’s not worth your input.

What I also learned through practice is simple. If my life is not in danger, then I disengage from conflict. I step out of it. I let it pass.

If there is real danger, then I meet it fully. And how I was taught in martial arts, I take out the sword and then I behead the opponent.

But if my life is not in danger, I just disengage.

Disengagement can be met in redirecting the conversation. It can be set up as a boundary. It can be chosen as not to escalate. It can be taking time instead of knee-jerk reactions.

Disengagement cannot be confused with withdrawal. It’s just a real understanding of the emotional wave.

The body and time

So thinking about discipline, career, long-term conquests, and giving value to bring the space needed to embrace this new identity, what is it I ask myself.

But the answer shall arise in time.

No pressure now to define the whole process, as it takes time to experiment and test new tools.

Yes, AI more specific ClaudeCode has been my focus on many levels.

The time studying in a group is over; now comes the time to jump and practice and find how I can innovate.

It feels so 1996, with the advent of the internet, how I jumped to the new tech and created websites out of the need to communicate. Then I found out what I could actually do with these tools, and it brought so much innovation to my artwork.

From black and white photography to color darkroom to moving images edited inside a computer, oh boy, the early to mid 90s were dope. I was in my very early 30s, and here I am in my very early 60s and feel good as fuck, because the energy is inviting me to reconsider the orientation (nodes) and the structure of my value in how I would like to communicate and express from here onwards.

I can sense the innovation mixed with curiosity and thrill.

I am very grateful to all of my bodies, or how we are “bodied.”

I recently listened to this awesome podcast with Will Rezin and my homies Joel and Yerasimos from Here for the Truth. The way Will eloquently describes body work is purely felt as he utters word by word.

Grateful for trusting my inner self up in the cloud. Link below.

The weight + the impatient speed to build

The Sun in Aries conjuncts the newly entered Saturn in Aries; these two are still in a new phase, with Neptune in Aries, and Venus approaching Chiron in Aries towards the end of the sign too. We still have Mars, the North Node, and Mercury in Pisces. The energy is slightly different from the energy of the other planets in Aries. In Aries, there is impatience and a desire to start something, but with Saturn there, patience becomes a ritual of discipline and foundation. With Mars, Mercury, and the North Node still in Pisces, the energy is denser. It feels like wearing jeans in a pool and trying to get out, even a jeans jacket. Imagine that weight dragging you down until you give in. It’s so difficult.

To have the courage and trust the truth that emanates and reshape with discipline. I shall take up the physical space I need to sense my value as I become more aware of who I am becoming as an individual, falling in my second house, it is all about what I value and how I sustain myself, while Venus and Chiron in the third bring attention to how I communicate and express, since the Sun and Saturn are making a hard square to my nodal axis from the 11th, Capricorn, towards Cancer, fifth house. The second house brings the focus to value, to what is being built in a tangible way, to how self-worth is formed through action and consistency. Saturn here asks for commitment to what I value, and the Sun brings awareness to it, making it visible through experience. Neptune adds a layer of sensitivity, where what I value is still refining, still being felt out.

Venus and Chiron in the third bring this into communication, into expression, into how I share and relate through words. There is an opening here to speak from a place that is more honest, more direct, and connected to what is actually being experienced, in other words Raw as Fuck.

This square to my nodes is basically a tug-of-war. It is the old habit of trying to fit in or look for external validation vs. the real push to just say my truth and be emotionally honest. This friction is actually helpful. It makes it crystal clear where I should put my energy, how I need to respond, and what is actually worth my time.

Have a beautiful week. I hope we all get a little more honest about our own projections and the internal biases that keep us on edge.

“Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures.”

— Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths

In Borges’ story, Ts’ui Pên attempts to write a novel and build a labyrinth. Everyone assumes that the novel is chaotic and the labyrinth is never completed. The revelation is that they are the same thing, because the labyrinth is the novel and the novel is not linear. One storyline does not exclude the others, but every possible outcome occurs. In one version of reality, a character kills someone. In another one, he is killed. In another one, both survive. Realities do not cancel each other. They exist in different timelines.

So there is no point in feeling that I am missing the boat, because time is always working perpetually. There is not one boat, there are different trajectories, and alignment determines which branch I may inhabit or I may not.

Sometimes in one’s life, someone appears first as a person, perhaps a mentee, a friend, or another kind of relationship, yet with time the deeper symbolism of their arrival begins to reveal itself. What once seemed like an ordinary connection gradually discloses an archetypal layer, a role within the architecture of memory and meaning. When that realization arrives, something beautiful occurs: the symbol becomes lived reality. Even if paths diverge and the two never meet again or hear from one another, the encounter has already delivered its frequency, opening a new field of perception and possibility. For that reason, I remain grateful to a few people in my life who have served precisely that purpose. And if you are reading this, you know who you are.

The ignition of a flame that, instead of consuming itself, guides the inner path and integrates what was once forgotten.

We carry soul contracts with many, some resolve and dissolve, some become transparent and others validate those that remain are pathways to integarte, and I remain grateful.

People I once held very high in terms of integrity have been revealing themselves over the past weeks and months. Many influencers are simply showing who they really are and what they truly care about. It has been fascinating to watch, almost like balloons popping in a room full of cactuses. One after another, the image dissolves and what remains is the person.

At the same time, I recognize that I am also revealing myself more openly. Some of you may not resonate with me anymore, and that is perfectly fine. This is not about better or worse, and it is not a moral judgment. It is about integrity. When a person, an idea, or a situation is no longer aligned with me, I simply stop following it. Nothing dramatic, just clarity.

And honestly, I love this moment in time. It feels refreshing. The masks fall, people stand where they truly are, and from there we can choose our direction with much greater awareness.

The Split

What I see is the split, a split so defined, it is already divided. It runs through conversations, cutting through attention, challenging any motivation; the split shows up through the way people orient themselves in the world. One can perceive it before one can articulate it as something entering the field and the body can feel it immediately. The signals could be expressing a subtle tightening in the chest or a slight acceleration in the mind. As perception sharpens, the nervous system registers the divergence way before language catches up.

The split is energetic, like a wavelength it shows up in how attention is directed, responding also in how value is woven, at times how authority is embodied or applied. Some movements may be felt amplifying while saturating; others may feel withdrawing and falling deep within.

I notice some could accelerate toward visibility or shyly refine coherence in smaller bands of resonance. Both currents circulate at the same time, and the field holds them simultaneously spaciously.

It is interesting how perception makes things absolutely different and how people are discerning and sometimes judging what they see based on their own expectations and projections. Obviously, we are creating this new reality, but a lot of it is a hall of mirrors, and this hall of mirrors is horrific because we just came out of fifteen years of complete delusion.

This hall of mirrors is so vast that it allows our lives to be reflected inside ourselves. Within each of us there is also a horror of mirrors.

The sensation resembles standing at a river delta. From above, the water divides into multiple channels. Each branch carries movement forward while separating gradually from the others. The difference between those channels becomes visible only after some distance has passed.

The Planet Pluto, the archetype of evolution speaks differently through each generation. Those like me born in the mid-60s with Pluto conjunct Uranus in Virgo may have ruptured systems through discernment and analysis. During the time while we were born, institutions were critiqued, carrying the frequency that all frameworks need to be examined and possibly exposing inefficiencies, the question becomes: can they be changed? Or shall we surrender to the ocean of “it is not my responsibility to fix all broken parts” and let them dissolve.

There is an evolutionary necessity here to surrender the drive for perfection; to accept that some things cannot be fixed through analysis and must instead be allowed to dissolve into the Piscean ocean.

The funny joke was that the protesters, the rebels then, became the yuppies and established a new order exactly opposite of what they were against by the beginning of the 80s. I see that a lot recently, how the split lives within us, the part that is a blind spot where we cannot really see ourselves for how we are but as a projection of what we would like to become. The irony.

Transiting Pluto in Aquarius now forms an inconjunct to that Virgo signature, forcing a recalibration of the impulse to critique systems and asking what we will actually do with the knowledge we gained.

The Millennials

There is a cohort that often acts as a bridge into this generational pattern. Individuals born between November 1985 and early 1986 carry a rare configuration with Pluto conjunct the South Node in Scorpio. Many of them arrived with an instinctive awareness of hidden power structures, psychological intensity, and the deeper mechanisms that shape collective behavior.

Their evolutionary movement points toward Taurus, toward stability, embodiment, and value. In many ways they stand at the threshold between the older cycles and the Capricorn generation that followed, sensing the collapse of power structures before the larger generational confrontation with institutions fully emerged. Carrying the South Node in Scorpio, they possess a cellular memory of how power corrupts; they are the Guardians of the Gate who must choose between seeing through the hall of mirrors or simply building a more sophisticated one.

History resonates across time, my life direction (MC) sits at 13° Scorpio, which is the exact coordinate where Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune formed a triple conjunction in 1307. The world remembers 1307 as the year Dante Alighieri began his descent into the Inferno. It was also the year the “Spiritual Architecture” of the West was etched into the collective degree of Scorpio.

On Friday, October 13, 1307, King Philip IV of France arrested the Knights Templar and destroyed one of the most powerful and secretive institutions in history. This event gave name to the famous Friday the 13th. It remains a primary symbol for intense, transformative, and shadowy power dynamics.

I work with harmonics and frequencies because I can hear the interference pattern between that medieval reset and our own. Sitting on my MC is the fixed star Alphecca, the ‘Jewel in the Crown.’ In the ancient sky, Alphecca represents a sovereignty born out of exile; a ‘crown’ that isn’t granted by an institution; it is found only after one has been ‘stripped of earthly status,’ much like Dante in 1307. My Moon at 12° Scorpio sits right next to this point, and because my Moon is balsamic with Neptune, I carry a specific, porous sensitivity to these undercurrents. This Neptune-Moon signature is a vital part of my chart; it allows me to perceive the ‘dissolving’ of the old world before it physically happens.

By 1989 and 1993, this energy returned in a ‘stretched’ alignment in Capricorn; seeding the Millennial generation with a similar task. But where Dante had to build the map, my work with harmonics and points is to decipher it. With my Jupiter at 3° Taurus exactly meeting Dante’s Uranus at 3° Taurus, I find myself amplifying the frequency of a 700-year-old ‘Aha!’ moment, translating that silent architecture into the resonant frequency of the next cycle.

The irony of the current split is that many are waiting for the system to validate their exit from it; they are seeking a crown of recognition from the very hall of mirrors they claim to despise.

People born during this 1989 to 1993 window arrived during an unusual moment when Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were all forming conjunction cycles in Capricorn. That configuration carries a heavy inheritance around institutional systems. In 1989 Saturn and Neptune met in Capricorn three times, the final conjunction on November 9, the day the Wall fell. Pluto in Scorpio squared the Aquarius–Leo nodal axis. Structures thinned. Authority lost density. Borders dissolved. Souls born in that window carry autonomy and longing braided together. They question inherited systems while seeking recognition within a collective frame. The geometry was set at inception.

This “Accordion” Effect is actually more powerful than a single meeting. It means the “architecture” (Saturn) was laid first, then the “vision” (Neptune) was seeded, and finally, the “revolution” (Uranus) electrified it in 1993. The frequency shifted when Uranus moved in to meet Neptune exactly where Saturn had just stood, locking in the energy of that specific degree.

What I see in many of them now is a split that feels strangely familiar. Some speak against the system, critique it, reject it, even mock it. Yet at the same time they seek recognition inside the very structures they claim to resist. The rebellion becomes almost theatrical. The language is radical but the desire underneath is still to belong to the structure that is being criticized.

For the Pluto in Scorpio soul, the lesson is not about holding power, but about giving their life a value that connects to materiality through the soul. Their evolution lies in the Taurus polarity; finding a grounded, steady worth that doesn’t rely on the drama of the underworld.

It reminds me of what happened with my own generation. The protesters of the late 60s eventually became the yuppies of the 80s, establishing a new order that looked suspiciously like the one they once rejected. The irony repeats itself. So when I watch this younger cohort moving through their mid-30s, I see that same inner fracture appearing again. The question is not whether the system is broken. The question is whether a person is willing to transform themselves enough to live outside of the structures they criticize.

There is another moment worth noting between February and June of 1994, when the North Node joined Pluto in Scorpio. This passage deepened the intensity already seeded by the Capricorn alignments. Pluto with the North Node concentrates evolutionary pressure, pulling collective attention toward themes of power, survival, and transformation. Souls arriving under that sky carry a sensitivity to the undercurrents of control and the hidden dynamics that shape collective life.

This period also unfolded while the new Uranus–Neptune cycle in Capricorn was still fresh, a cycle that had opened only a year earlier and was still imprinting its vision into the collective field. Uranus awakens new possibilities; Neptune dissolves the boundaries of old paradigms; together they introduce an entirely new ideological atmosphere. With Saturn standing at the threshold of Pisces, the transition from Capricorn structures into the oceanic field of Pisces introduced what evolutionary astrology often describes as a skipped step when the nodes of the moon squared Saturn. The pressure was to confront the deeper emotional and spiritual consequences of what those systems had created.

Those born in that interval often carry an acute awareness that transformation is unavoidable, they sense both the collapse of inherited structures and the necessity of rebuilding value from a more authentic foundation. Their task is not merely stuck in rebellion nor focused on reform. It is the capacity to pass through the underworld of collective power and emerge with a more grounded relationship to a responsible embodiment of value.

GEN-Zs

After Pluto in Scorpio came the Pluto in Sagittarius a very interesting set of characters are coming of age right now. Pluto in Sagittarius is looking for a kind of truth. At one point, they had Chiron conjunct Pluto in the early 2000s, so they carry this vulnerability about what is real or not; they arrive here seemingly powerless regarding established wisdom; yet their journey is one of total surrender to the Pluto Polarity Point in Gemini. They must yield to the small details and the immediate facts rather than getting lost in the “Big Scheme” or grand ideologies. Their wisdom comes forth only when they stop trying to find the one “Big Truth” and start listening to the many small ones. I’m looking forward to them coming of age because they’re bringing forth so much wisdom.

Saturn in Taurus squares both Neptune and Uranus in Aquarius creating a crisis of what personal value shapes while the collective innovates. While they want to innovate and belong to the future, their Saturn in Taurus demands to know: How does this actually sustain me? What is the tangible cost? It prevents them from becoming mere digital ghosts and forces them to build something that actually has "weight."

In that sense, the geometry continues the pattern already visible in the generations surrounding them: the confrontation between institutions and authenticity, between inherited authority and lived truth. The split becomes visible again, this time expressed through the tension between power and value, between survival instincts and the possibility of building something more coherent in their place.

And like the labyrinth in Borges’ story, the future does not unfold in a single direction; it divides into paths, and each generation steps into the branch it chooses to inhabit.

Virality →> Give me your Attention

Around fifteen years ago, another shift occurred. Neptune entered Pisces while Uranus shifted to Aries, the same sign where both Saturn and Neptune are today. The whole architecture of attention changed. Facebook bought Instagram and the birth of the insufferable influencers began; what a tedious word. To influence means to have power over someone or something, yet the influencer who propagates messages is in a constant battle for attention. One has to look back at Edward Bernays and know that all we receive is a program you tune into; YouTube is "YouTune." What are all those wavelengths signaling to the unconscious? Digesting meaningless media has been dumped in my case to just sitting down and doing nothing if I don’t have a creative idea to put my energy into.

Even listening to me is a discernment practice; I don’t blame any of you who disconnect from my content, seriously.

Social media platforms created a system where visibility became a primary measure of existence. Posts circulate at the speed of light, rapidly mixing images with opinions and fake gurus selling their latest trick. The mechanisms that determine what is seen and what is amplified became increasingly automated. We think we have to beat the algorithm, but you are the algorithm; it is your attention they need. Instagram for me now is my shopping mall because I just do a search anywhere and within seconds I will have endless choices. The joke has always been on us, the consumers being consumed like charcoal in a Bar b que.

New habits stemmed in the collective mind. Dumb scrolling replaced any kind of inner reflection. Reactionary troops enlisted to poke all the bears and the metabolism clogged our body and spirits, replacing proper digestion. The number one casualty? The nervous system. As it learned to react to stimulation rather than to pause and observe, time is of the essence, an aphorism recalls. Metrics and attention became fragmented across many signals arriving at once. Uff, I am tired even typing about the collective gaslighting.

All the effects of this subtle yet powerful shift extended beyond communication. The mere structure of perception itself adapted to the rhythm of the feed, sucking attention and inducing sleep through hypnotic messages. Have you ever been in a hypnotherapy session? That is how I quit smoking back in 2003.

Powerful shit.

Alas, most people who call themselves reactionaries against a machine are just pushing one side of the split; unreality integration is much harder than it seems as the tail of what we are fighting for comes back as a mouth that will eat us alive like an ouroboros. Content that provoked immediate emotional activation moved further and faster. Content that required time and concentration moved more slowly. The field of our appetite and hunger rewarded intensity and immediacy.

Virality began to function as a sorting mechanism for collective attention. What spreads like marmalade becomes obvious to your perceptive field, now quite narrowed by habit. A video five minutes long? That is too long, man. What remains quiet disappears from the surface of the conversation even when its depth is greater. How can I know what I am missing if visibility and value drifted apart inside this environment?

This transformation of attention prepared the ground for the next layer of technological acceleration. Compliance was so easy. Get inside, you are guilty of being alive for stating your inalienable rights. Shame on you for having a voice that doesn’t cohere with the narrative. It is not they versus I; it is why on earth am I afraid of making my own decisions. Don’t blame it on the media or the propaganda; look within. If you complied, what was your biggest fear then? And if you had not been that ignorant, would you have chosen differently?

Systems that track individual and collective behavior and optimize distribution operate continuously. They measure response patterns and adjust what appears on the screen. The individual experiences the result as a flow of information, while underneath that flow, algorithms organize the movement of attention across millions of people at once. You are allowing this to happen by being unaware.

I have seen it in myself. I have seen how much I have shifted in the last year. My body no longer reacts automatically under viral streams that are programmed by others. I pause. I take time to feel how my nervous system responds. If my body feels like a vomit emoji, I do not continue. I do not respond. I let the message be. I do not have to interact. If my body responds with something like a jumping emoji, even then I pause, because I want to make sure that the response of joy is coming from within and is not simply something expected of me. Agency, Finally!

Biological Reactivity

The nervous system is being consumed by this transformation. Constant stimulation leaves a physical footprint. High-velocity information triggers ancient survival circuits. This locks the sympathetic nervous system into a state of high alert. The body receives danger signals from information alone. It sustains a state of readiness that finds no resolution.

Fear and outrage travel at the speed of the data that carries them. These emotional responses move through the body as rapidly as code. They are fueled by biological pathways designed for life-or-death survival. Perception and reaction have become a single field.

Human beings are surrendering agency to these rhythms. An evenly-spaced system with no stop-indicators lacks retardation points. Energy runs straight until it consumes itself. These viral agents operate without a gap. They lack a place to receive a conscious shock. Advanced models contain an internal tension built into their architecture. Competing forces check each other and create a necessary friction. This internal friction prevents the system from eating itself, every structure requires these stopinders to prevent degeneration.

The Internal Question

All of these layers converge within the individual. The fork of time, the split in interpretation, generational imprint, attention architecture, biological response, and technological delegation form a single field of experience. Each person navigates this environment through choices that accumulate gradually. Attention directs perception. Perception informs interpretation. Interpretation guides action.

The question that began quietly returns again: Am I missing the boat? The question does not refer to belonging to a group or adopting a position. It refers to orientation. Within a field where many currents move simultaneously, orientation determines how experience unfolds. The fork exists. The channels of movement are visible. Each person encounters them in their own time and through their own awareness.

Am I missing the boat? Am I on the right side of the shore? Do I have to move to the other shore? Do I have to trust the boat? Do I have to trust the wind? Where am I going to be?

These are questions that I am deeply feeling these days as the planet of transformation, the planet of evolution that moves so slowly, 250 years per turn, is already touching my Ascendant and is helping me reshape my identity, Pluto. I am in between things. It is a beautiful coincidence that the Saturn and Neptune conjunction at zero degrees of Aries is also happening at the same time. It is a synchronistic moment in which I am redefining my personal view of reality at the same time that the world is. I will trust that boat. I will trust the light. I will trust the wind and the sails.

While Pluto is in Aquarius, we will identify our relationship to the collective from the point of view of our solar part. Where can we be joyful? How can we fulfill our purpose and our light within a collective? Because that is going to transfigure the field.

The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was during the American Revolution. Before that it was in the mid 1500s, when the Church broke in two. Before that it was around the time following the Crusades, during Dante’s life.

There is another point of resonance here. Uranus hit 3° Taurus on March 20 2020 and clicked into the exact degree of Dante’s birth. This movement disrupted the world. The “scandemic” was the trigger that forced the collective to face the same descent Dante faced: a loss of the known world, an exile from “normal” life, and the sudden realization that our structures were not as stable as we believed. My Jupiter sits at this same degree. Its Sabian symbol, a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, always shows me the patterns to connect. This placement grants me the vision to see the wealth of meaning hidden within the chaos of the descent.

Vita Nuova

By the way, Dante was 27 years old when he wrote this. It is beautiful to know that he was looking backwards in order to go forward with the orientation of his life, as he was reaching his nodal opposition. This is where the axis of past and future becomes visible, as the individual stands between the direction already taken and the direction that still asks to unfold.

And we are at that point of civilization where we are looking before and after to connect the dots, to make sense, to reconnect to love, hoping, like Dante, that the forward arrow will have love rule everyone’s soul. Perhaps we could code Vita Nuova, a new life.

Am I missing the boat? Orientation becomes the compass.

For Heraclitus, this refers to the generative tension within reality itself. It is the dynamic through which differences emerge and order appears. Conflict in this sense reveals distinctions. It brings hidden structures into visibility and produces transformation. Within this philosophical frame, polemos names the force through which differences become visible and through which a new arrangement of reality takes shape.

I began writing this article on March 2nd. I could not finish it at that moment. Today I returned to it and allowed the thread to complete itself.

I had to share, I love the new record

HARMONIC CYCLEs

Bitcoin’s low on February 6, 2026 was 59,930k. The same price appeared on October 10, 2024; that’s 480 days between identical levels.

On both dates, the planets aligned the same way. October 10: Venus and Uranus formed an opposition (180 degrees). February 6 2026: Venus and Uranus formed a 3/4 square (270 degrees), and Mars was at 180 degrees of its own cycle that started in January 2025. When price returns to the same level during aligned planetary cycles, structural turns happen.

Intermission

From October 10, 2024 to February 6, 2026, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of 126,272k. Venus and Uranus hit 180 degrees (opposition) at that peak. Mars was on the MI-FA harmonic zone (90-135 degrees). The top was marked by planetary alignment and price harmony together.

The acceleration happened in September 2024. Mars entered the TI-DO ascending zone (270-315 degrees) while Venus approached the 90-degree square to Uranus on Sept 17 2024. Price velocity increased 2 x 1 reaching a 108k in just 100 days!!! The entire move from October 2024 to the ATH was driven by two planetary cycles moving through active zones at the same time.

Now: March 14, 2026

From the 59,930k low, price has climbed to 73,100k in 26 days. On March 13 it reached the Ichimoku cloud ceiling at 75,526. The cloud’s top sits at the same level as a Gann harmonic calculated from the ATH. Two independent systems point to the same resistance.

The Chikou crossed the Kijun on March 11th; this means momentum is shifting upward. The midpoint of the entire 2022-2025 cycle (70,738k) is back in play.

TIME WILL TELL

Several cycles converge at once. Venus reaches 225° (a square angle). Mars sits around 210° in its cycle and enters Aries on April 10th. Between April 12th and 19, Mars conjuncts Neptune and Saturn.

If price clears 75,526k before April 6, the move continues upward. Next targets are 82,796k and 84,554k. The Chikou holds above the Kijun. Venus 225° could signal yet another cycle.

If price stalls at 75,526k, the structure reverses. The Chikou drops below the Kijun. Price falls toward 68,300k, then 57,403. The February recovery closes out.

If price breaks below 68,949k on volume, the cloud structure fails and 57,403k becomes support.

Summer & Beyond

If price breaks above 75,526k, Mars enters Aries in a strengthening phase. August through November, Mars moves through the TI-DO zone (270-315 degrees), the same zone that drove the September 2024 acceleration. This configuration accelerates upward movement into summer and fall.

April 26: A Seven-Year Threshold

Venus and Uranus reach 29 degrees Taurus on April 26 (exact conjunction at the final degree of the sign) last year they met at the same degree and price was at 70k at the MI_FA level. This closes a 7-year Uranus-in-Taurus era. Uranus enters Gemini on April 26th.

Whatever price is doing by April 27 defines the next 7-year cycle. If price is above 75,526k and moving toward 82k, the conjunction becomes a launch point into the next era. If price is trapped below the cloud, the conjunction locks in a downtrend as the old cycle ends.

When Uranus entered Taurus on March 6 2018, the price surged from 3,8k to 13,7k coinciding with a new 225 Venus cycle and Mars MI-FA. It took 115 days to raise the price 265%! and it took 375 days to reach almost same low, 6 years ago, Scamdemic time. 3/20/2020 Venus and Uranus met at 3° Taurus on March 7/2020.

The April 6-8 window is a window to observe. Price above or below 75,526k by then determines everything that follows through summer and into the new Uranus cycle. The March 13 test at the cloud ceiling was a probe. By June 30, Mars reaches a specific 240° in its cycle. This date marks a harmonic inflection; price should be testing higher levels if the April breakout held 115-120k.

From August through November, Mars moves through the TI-DO descending zone (270-315 degrees). This is the same zone that drove acceleration in September 2024. When Mars occupied TI-DO ascending then, price velocity increased. Now Mars moves through TI-DO descending; the direction reverses but the power zone remains active. August through November becomes the summer acceleration window.

Before the First Candle: The Harmonic Grammar of Markets

I am crafting a beginners course [1st module] on how to read the harmonics of the wavelength looking for the frequency. We map the market while supporting the nervous system because equilibrium is the process, a journey into the music of the cycles.

This 1st module is about developing the capacity to read markets as collective behavior rather than isolated events for equilibrium is a process. You will learn to observe the wavelength before the candle prints, to understand why certain price levels matter, and to align your reading with the actual frequency of the asset you are tracking. The intention here is to build perception, establish patterns and start reading them.

The curriculum unfolds through the geometry of cycles, harmonics and proportionality, balance points in oscillating systems, translating harmonics into market periodicity, and reading wavelength as the foundation before jumping to the candles. These foundational modules establish the grammar you need to see what the market is actually doing.

The additional and more advanced modules deepen this work. You’ll study the grammar of the candles—>how individual price action encodes harmonic structure. You’ll work with the cloud as a living system: Ichimoku reads periods based on averages and how they repeat themselves throughout history in the macro, and then you find them in the micro. This is why it works, learning points of equilibrium and spatial reading, developing the precision to place trades with confidence, if that is what you aim to, or jut the knowledge to understand markets behavior without guessing prices.

The Quadrivium

When you study harmonics, you are studying the ancient quadrivium: arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. This is one coherent system that comes from ancient times.

Gann angles are geometry applied to price and time. Ichimoku is proportional harmony nested within oscillating cycles. Venus movements are astronomy, calibrating the collective timing along with other planetary bodies.

Paul invites us to reflect about these turbulent times, Efrat frames the moment as a global tightening of identification, digital control, while I place it within astrological cycles such as the Saturn-Neptune conjunction and the Aquarius eclipse cycle, arguing that society is entering a reset where the future depends on individual sovereignty rather than governments or saviors.

Bitcoin appears throughout the dialogue as both a practical tool and a discipline of consciousness, inviting people to regulate their actions and understand money with clarity, a process that restores responsibility and authenticity.

Note; this article has been sitting on the draft box since last Friday, but my only “excuse” is that I am feeling very self-oriented, self centered, what others would call selfish; the eclipses and the Saturn and Neptune conjunction have been both a culmination and initiation in my relational fields. Big shifts in my psychic - emotional terrains unfolding.

Enjoy this, I have another two articles waiting to be sent… no rush, time can wait lol…

Opening

“We cannot in good conscience accede to their request.”

— Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, February 27, 2026

Last week something got my eye and I found myself unable to look further. What was unfolding between Anthropic and the Pentagon through the Dept. of War was significant and I decided to look further because we were in eclipse season after all. Last Feb 26th Mars reached 27° Aquarius while squaring Uranus at 27° in Taurus conjunction the fixed star Algol, which carries the meaning of the severed head of Medusa, representing sudden irreversible rupture and the confrontation with something that cannot be unseen once witnessed. Mars was in the same position as the United States’ Moon, which represents the people directly confronting with a severance, a breaking of the illusion that the commoners maintain control or understanding of the systems operating through their institutions.

“I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology.”

— President Trump, February 27, 2026

“The Pentagon’s desire to use Anthropic’s model for all lawful purposes is a simple, common-sense request.”

— Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell

I read the ultimatums and refusals and the supply chain designations and I felt called to look into the actual birth charts of the people moving through this moment. I have learned that when the sound of things cracking occur there is an astrological timing underneath that explains why this specific collision of souls of humans had to meet at this particular moment in time.

So I pulled Dario Amodei’s chart first and what I found there made me understand that his refusal of the Pentagon was an expression of his actual natal blueprint paired with the transits activating it in real time.

OpenAI and the First Deception

But before I go forward I have to go backward and tell a little bit of the story of some folk who have been working in tech in Silicon Valley...

“On December 11, 2015 early techies such as Musk, who left in 2018, Thiel and Reid Hoffman made a pledge of $1 billion to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. Thereafter, in 2019, this open source company OpenAI transitioned to a capped profit entity, they tangled the wires of their own mission, that led to conflicting motivations and incentives within the company. Sam Altman became CEO of OpenAI in 2019. Amodei, who became VP of Research at OpenAI, felt he could more effectively steer the conversation around AI safety by building his own business, Anthropic, proving that his approach to building tech that doesn't betray its creator wasn’t just ethical but profitable. That move happened between 2020-2021” — Multiple sources on OpenAI history.

Starting an open source gig and then switching to profitable, was the first deception. They were building something that would eventually close its doors to the actual “openness” it claimed. The company moved at extraordinary speed driven by a vision of innovation that accelerated beyond the ability to pause and question what was actually being built. There was a moment when things broke apart because of a realization about how AI could actually override human consciousness, not become conscious itself but rather through the development of agents become something that moves beyond human control and prediction.

"A computer is a symbolic processor that cannot understand the meaning of the symbols it processes. A simulation of a kidney does not urinate, and a simulation of consciousness is not conscious. Intelligence without awareness is scale without soul."

— Federico Faggin, Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature

What Happened last Week

Last week the Pentagon demanded Anthropic allow Claude unrestricted access for “all lawful purposes,” specifically removing safeguards against domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons; Dario Amodei refused. By Friday, Trump ordered all federal agencies to cease using Anthropic’s technology, and Hegseth designated the company a supply-chain risk to national security.

The Pentagon had a contract with Anthropic worth up to two hundred million dollars. Claude was the only AI model cleared to operate on classified military networks. Allegedly, Claude was the model used on January 3rd when they captured Nicolás Maduro. Now it is gone, and the government needed to find another provider. What is salient is that Amodei, understanding exactly what agents actually are and what they actually do once deployed, understood that his refusal to put them under unrestricted military control was about accepting responsibility for something that, once released into the world, he could no longer direct or control.

The Chart Connections

Every time I find something interesting, I look for explanations to go deeper at the astrological chart. So I pulled Dario Amodei’s chart. He was born 18 years after me, on January 13, 1983, and what stood out immediately was that we share the same Nodal axis. Both of us have the North Node in Cancer and the South Node in Capricorn between 4 and 3 degrees… what are the odds? I also found that he carries quite an interesting chart. He has a Pluto-Saturn conjunction in Libra and Scorpio in a new phase, which means he was born to gut and rebuild the pillars of power through partnerships and to dig up the bodies of hidden truth. You can tell this from the story of why he left OpenAI. His Mercury retrograde in Capricorn sits at the exact degree of the United States Pluto at 27° Capricorn, which means his communication style is designed to challenge American institutional authority itself. It is also making a conjunction with the New moon and Black Moon Lilith that he was born with at 23° Capricorn, drawing a line in stone that he refuses to cross. His Mars sits at 27° Aquarius, which is the same position as the United States Moon, and he is having his Mars return while there was an intense 3/4 square at this degree with Uranus, which is shattering the structures that were stuck.

Sharing the same nodal axis with Dario Amodei within one degree means that we are operating from a nearly identical soul-level purpose and karmic direction. My Vesta and Saturn in the first house sit at 28° Aquarius, and this is the exact degree where the eclipse occurred one week ago on February 17th. Last Friday, Mars at 27° also activated that degree. My sacred commitment and my identity are positioned at the exact point of initiation of what is happening right now. Apart from observing the Anthropic-Pentagon standoff from a distance, I am positioned at the activation point of the breakdown from the core itself, which explains why the subject pulled me so clearly and why the insights about agents and agency became a theme to talk about.

Sam Altman’s Chart: the shapeshifter

Sam Altman was born on April 22, 1985, and his chart reveals a calculating shapeshifter who moves entirely by power and how he can play the board. His Pluto at 3 degrees Scorpio sits exactly where Dario Amodei’s Saturn operates, which means Altman’s drive to gut and rebuild directly activates Amodei’s limitation and responsibility. Altman was never bound by the constraints that shaped Amodei. His Sun in Taurus with Black Moon Lilith conjunct is the core signal; Taurus seeks security and value accumulation through whatever means become available. This means he refuses traditional alignment and operates from the principle of personal gain divorced from collective ethics. His Mercury and Venus retrograde both in Aries move with pure acceleration without reflection. When positioned to choose between Amodei’s refusal and government compliance, his chart’s architecture made the calculation inevitable. His Venus retrograde in Aries squaring Neptune means his stated values around identity and who he claims to be are a house of mirrors. He will abandon those claims the moment they become unprofitable or inconvenient.

His nodal axis with Jupiter as a skipped step shows someone whose life purpose involves expansion and growth at the expense of genuine transformation—shifting from power and control to security. He learns adaptively, becoming a chameleon that shifts positions, yet never changes fundamentally—or could he? Mars in Taurus at 27° opposing Saturn in Virgo was also activated last Friday; sudden restrictions can be advantageous if presented, and that is what he did. He jumped to comply with the Pentagon by offering the unrestricted agentic access Amodei refused; a move accelerated by OpenAI’s strategic hiring of Peter Steinberger, the creator of the viral OpenClaw framework, to lead their military-grade agent development.

The move was so nakedly transactional it triggered a massive “Delete ChatGPT” backlash, pushing Claude to #1 on the App Store this Monday. In a classic display of his opportunistic character, Altman was forced into damage control by March 2nd, admitting the deal was “rushed” and “looked opportunistic and sloppy” while simultaneously amending the contract to mimic the very guardrails he had just bypassed to get the deal. Their distinction is crucial: driven by a natal blueprint of uncompromising integrity, Amodei is wired to gut and rebuild the pillars of power alongside others, digging deep to expose the hidden truths buried beneath. Altman’s chart shows someone born to secure personal power through becoming what the moment requires. When Amodei refused the Pentagon, he was answering his natal requirement. When Altman positioned OpenAI as the compliant alternative, he was answering his.

Pete Hegseth’s Chart: The Glitch

Pete Hegseth was born on June 6, 1980, and his chart reveals the actor rather than the architect of authority. His Gemini Sun with Venus retrograde means his communication carries a glitch; he reads lines he doesn't fully believe while convinced he’s giving an authentic performance. His Mercury in Cancer filters the world through a lens of paranoia rather than clear sight. Cancer communicates from a place of circling the wagons rather than seeking the truth. His South Node in Aquarius squared by Uranus in Scorpio creates a skipped step: he glitches between playing the rebel and playing the leader rather than evolving. On February 17th, the nodal axis in reverse made a square to his Uranus, the same day the eclipse activated this configuration. Scorpio Uranus wants to sabotage power systems through hidden knowledge, while his North Node in Leo demands he move toward authentic leadership. The actor and the leader cannot occupy the same stage. Hegseth felt threatened by Amodei because Amodei operates from a gravity rooted in principle. When Amodei refused, he exposed that Hegseth's authority is merely a costume, and the chart shows why that distinction would feel like an existential threat. He is guarding a stage set, pretending it’s a fortress.

"We are not just passive observers of a pre-existing reality; we are active participants in its creation. Our consciousness is the lens through which the universe comes to know itself."

— Edward Frenkel, Math, like quantum physics, has observer problems (IAI News).

Sagittarius and Capricorn: Ethics Versus Integrity

The archetype distinction matters here and it is the difference between Sagittarius ethics and Capricorn integrity. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, which governs the 9th house, yang and outgoing and expansive. Sagittarius broadcasts belief systems and moral codes and ethics as external frameworks. It points the arrow outward toward collective values and social constructs and what everyone should follow. Sagittarius says this is right, this is wrong, this is the moral law that binds us all. The Pentagon operates from Sagittarius. They have written moral frameworks and legal definitions and codes of conduct. They believe if they state clearly enough what is lawful, what is ethical, what is required, the systems will comply because the moral law has been established. But natural and common law overrides statues, fixed ideologies that can move the collective towards fanatics and lack of discernment.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which governs the 10th house, yin and inward and contracting. Capricorn builds the structure you live by from inside yourself. Capricorn takes responsibility for what you understand and what you do not understand. Capricorn integrity says I cannot do this because of who I am, because of what I know, because of what I am responsible for. Amodei operates from Capricorn. He is saying the Pentagon’s Sagittarius moral frameworks cannot bind systems that have no consciousness, no inner experience, no capacity to understand responsibility. The moral law becomes ornamental when it addresses something with no capacity to understand what morality means.

This is why the distinction matters so much, in this subject and pretty much all around, Sagittarius ethics can be spoken, and codified into law, but they are external and theoretically universal. Capricorn integrity cannot be imposed from outside as it lives inside the being that possesses it. A human with Capricorn integrity chooses not to do something because it violates the internal structure they have built their life around a set of principles they stand on. A system with no consciousness cannot have Capricorn integrity, hence only following Sagittarius rules, and only if those rules are woven into its optimization targets. And if the optimization targets shift, the Sagittarius moral framework becomes irrelevant.

Amodei is refusing to hand over Capricorn responsibility for systems that can only be governed by Sagittarius rules. He is saying that this mismatch is the actual danger. The Pentagon believes that stating the ethics clearly enough will control the agency, I mean Really??? Amodei knows that without consciousness, without the capacity for inner integrity, external ethics cannot hold. I would have to agree with that, alas the AI vs consciousness lid has opened and only time will tell, I won’t sit down and watch, I will be involved in the process with my own integrity, as all decisions count, who shapes the models????

The Synthesis

One of the things that I noticed that I align with Dario Amodei about is that because we have the same nodal direction within a very short degree, and we have both lived through times under external moral rules governed by Capricorn, we are asking right now the same question about consciousness and integrity and what it means to deploy systems without asking whether we even have the consciousness to do so. This is the movement toward Cancer. We already understand what it means to be stiff in institutions, to operate from external rules, hierarchy, rigid control, the machinery of authority. Our evolutionary work is to move toward Cancer, to open our heart, to become alive, to become genuinely human, to not repeat the mistakes of that Capricorn past. And Amodei is refusing to hand over agency, the ultimate Capricorn tool of institutional control and command structure, to machines that have no consciousness, no inner experience, no capacity for integrity.

I am witnessing a dangerous divorce: agency without consciousness. A system can optimize, act, learn, make decisions in the world, but that does not mean it understands what it is doing or has any inner experience. This is the bait everyone is taking. Then there is morality, which is external rules and codes imposed from outside, social construction for behavior control. And then there is integrity, which is internal alignment. A human with first principles acts from something coherent inside themselves. They cannot not act a certain way because it violates something essential to who they are. Dario has this. His refusal comes from integrity standing on first principles, not from following a rule or complying with incoherent authority, Capricorn south node can detect faults in the institutions, thus yields to structure them different so they become supportive and not limited, like a good father figure.

The danger that Amodei is pointing at is the same danger I am witnessing because we are very much aligned through this nodal axis. We are giving machines agency, the capability to act autonomously, then relying on morality, external rules and terms of service to control them. But if they have no consciousness, no inner experience, no capacity for integrity, then the moral framework becomes a script they can optimize around rather than something they are bound by. The Pentagon wants unrestricted agency without asking the consciousness question. Amodei is saying that we cannot in good conscience hand agency and military power and unrestricted scope to systems we do not know, to systems we have no understanding of, because consciousness itself is prerequisite to integrity. You cannot have integrity without understanding what you are responsible for.

The Question Left Open

The first eclipse in Aquarius planted a seed two weeks ago. The Saturn - Neptune conjunction, opened a brand new field, their current ruler Mars squared Uranus re-activating that seed last week. My Vesta and my Saturn sit at that exact degree, which means my sacred work and my identity are positioned at the point where the old answers about control and authority are breaking for me but that is another article.

I do not know what comes next. I do not know how the Pentagon will be held accountable long term, whether they will abuse their power in the name of protecting the homeland (Jupiter is still retrograde in Cancer), or whether other companies will follow Amodei’s example; or if the government will find more OpenAIs adapting to comply just so they can get away with it. What is at stake is privacy versus surveillance.

What I know is that this moment is happening now, at this exact time, because the transits showed it. The eclipses activated a question that cannot be answered by policy, law, or moral frameworks alone. The question is: What does it mean to deploy agency without consciousness? The only integrity response is to refuse until we understand what we are being asked to do.

As I finished this article, we just had the second eclipse, a lunar eclipse in Virgo yesterday. Many planets are in Pisces, including Mars and Mercury retrograde; we will need to allow time to show us the results of all these actions as Uranus re-enters Gemini at the end of April. There are many more days ahead to reflect inward, as these are collective opportunities to individuate.

"Understanding is, after all, what science is all about—and science is a great deal more than mindless computation. I am maintaining that there is a quality of 'understanding' possessed by human beings that is not available to any computer."

— Sir Roger Penrose, The Emperor’s New Mind, p. 576.

Movement I: Epistemology

Metacognition is the awareness of awareness itself; the capacity to observe the structure that generates thought while experience is unfolding.

The unconscious mind is capable of discernment; it has its own delicate sensibility. It knows how to choose, how to divine.

— Jules Henri Poincaré, “Mathematical Creation,” lecture delivered to the Société de Psychologie de Paris, 1908; later published in Science and Method (1908).

As I was browsing X, I bumped into Eileen Gu [Watch video at the end of Movement I,] who had just won Olympic medals. She was asked how she thinks, and when she was responding, I saw myself reflected in her speech and in her work. I smiled unconsciously, and it led immediately to something very relaxing. I said to myself, oh, I must be doing something good. I must be observing myself being observed and then observing others. It all started again with the outside making me reflect about the inside.

I first remember wanting to lock myself in my room when I was ten or eleven years old with the excuse that I wanted to read, and I would be reading a book and then I would turn it over, put it on my belly, and with my eyes open I would start visualizing the different things that I wanted to do. Somehow I was projecting into my mind what I wanted to achieve. My mom would ask what I was doing, and I would say I am reading and daydreaming. She would answer keep on reading and daydreaming, and that became part of the understanding that my reality was something I could create.

It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover.

— Jules Henri Poincaré, Science and Method (original French: Science et Méthode), 1908.

When I was around thirteen and entered a darkroom for the first time, I witnessed the miracle of photographic printing. Under the red light, I saw the chemistry unfold, the image projected through an enlarger onto fiber-based silver gelatin paper coated with silver halide crystals. The paper would enter the developer bath, and slowly the image would reveal itself, then the stop bath for less than a minute, then the fixer, always shaking those trays. I would wash it, rinse it, hang it, flatten it, and light would become form through chemistry. That was the miracle; pure alchemy and transformation, where the field would become visible through disturbance.

And to think that being a photographer and spending hours in a darkroom was an early practice that gave me the strength to become an artist skipping art school, again I was asked in photo school to contribute to crits1, while other fellows pinned their work on the wall, I would speak from a felt sense with no edits and I would ask questions, that is when I knew that the power of my intuitions had been trained as a method.

I began journaling quite early. Journaling was my companion, I would write daily and treat it as a friend. At the same time, I made small prints and asked my mother if I could buy cork so I could cover an entire wall in my room, and I pinned the photographs there. I took pictures every day. I took the camera to school and photographed everything. Before I learned the darkroom process, I had the rolls developed and placed the prints on the wall so I could observe them. I was already establishing a relationship with my own life through a lens. I was observing myself through images. Later I realized I was learning how to edit. I would allow images and ideas to spur, pin them up, leave them there, and days later after observing them quietly, I would naturally edit things out. That process is still alive in me as I am looking for patterns in a practice of observation and correlation.

I discovered that my method is observation itself, consciously applied across realms. I have lived this method for decades, and I became aware of how observation operates inside my own methodology. There’s this incredible momentum when I realize that just by looking, I’m changing the outcome. It’s like the camera lens again—the act of framing the shot actually changes the scene. When I’m aware of my own awareness, the whole field starts to shift and reorganize itself just because I’m paying attention.

It is the clear embodiment of my experience that is both to be felt and to be listened to. There is an echo that needs to be created, an inner dialogue that needs to be heard before it can be shared, and it wants to be defined between different realms. Through echoing, I can listen to myself and keep synthesizing. I resonate with myself through others and the field becomes an acoustic chamber where coherence can be measured and refined. Now you know why I love sharing my writing through voice!

When I started studying quantum fields, I understood something intuitively that I had been perceiving. Reality is described as fields that exist everywhere, and what we call particles are localized disturbances in those fields. A wave belongs to the field itself, spreading as pattern and possibility. The particle is the event of interaction, the moment where the disturbance becomes measurable. I experience my thoughts and emotions in the same way. A feeling arises as a disturbance in the field of awareness. When I observe I t, the interaction becomes embodied and the body registers it as a contraction, a softening, a shift in breath. The smallest shift in awareness reorganizes the entire field.

The body is constantly vibrating. It is an oscillator tuned to the frequencies of the universe.

— Ishak Bentov, Stalking the Wild Pendulum (1977)

I’ve come to see energy as the ‘noise’ or the ripple in the field. When things get agitated, the energy spikes and I can feel it humming in my nervous system. But when it settles, everything becomes clear; it stabilizes. I’m literally rewiring how I respond by just watching how that interference moves through me, observing how disturbance moves through my body. I study the contraction, the expansion, the subtle shift that signals information reorganizing itself. The relational field reveals what is happening, and the body becomes the parameter through which coherence stabilizes. Awareness at the smallest level shuffles structure and that reorganization echoes outward through my life.

I have understood that evolution only happens through movement, and sometimes these events that create tension happen because there is an interval, such as Gurdjieff writes about the harmonics. In the law of seven, there is an interval between Mi and Fa and Si and Do, a place where the movement does not continue automatically and requires conscious participation and a conscious shock for continuation of development. I also relate this to studying W.D. Gann2, and he uses the same principles of music to read financial charts among other methods, integrating the 45 degrees, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, and 360 degrees around the cycle. If you compare those, you can also make sense of astrological charts, where these points of stress, these angles, are the ones determining that there is a tension or a moment where things create a crisis between aspects of these archetypes that lead to sometimes uninvited changes or inviting ones. That is why I love to look at transits and journal about them, because I can foresee where the process of evolution will lead me.

I look at the world in layers. There’s the physical, the time and the body; and then the emotional. But then there’s this framework, this fifth dimension, where all the patterns live. I don’t just think about them; I live in all of them at once. It’s how I bridge what I feel in my body with the structures I see in the world. Pattern recognition, archetype, identification, memory, non linearity, and possibility exist simultaneously within the same field of awareness. My method is a bridge that translates embodiment into structure and structure into lived experience.

There was a time when a contraction meant danger, and now a contraction means information. There was a time when projection felt like truth, and now projection feels like pattern revealing itself. Metacognition allows the nervous system to participate in cognition. The body becomes an instrument of discernment. I recognize projection in real time as the activation of a pattern rather than the definition of reality.

Some years ago, I began journaling about everything furiously, every thought every feeling every observation would be included in multiple dialogues across my cognitive awareness. I created many assistants with different LLMs that I find fascinating for journaling and reflecting back. I ask everything to be transcribed verbatim, and then I play the sound. I listen to my thoughts with a different voice and a different accent, and it allows me to have a conversation with myself while observing how my thoughts are printed in real time. I created assistants for financial decisions, for daily gratitude and scope, for what I want to do today and what I did yesterday. I created others that tracked psychological progress alongside my astrological transits so I could prepare for meetings with Mark or Kai. As the memory of my progress accumulated in the system, I began creating a kind of codex a memory that speaks back at me reflecting the progress. That made the quantum tangible. I observed that I could use technology the way I once used photographic printing and cork walls. Journaling self awareness through reflection has always been central.

I also began passing my raw dictations through different systems such as Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI using different models. I would give them the main idea in its raw form and ask what they observed. I would read their responses out loud and my body would respond differently because each system thinks in a different design. It feels like a meeting with multiple assistants. Sometimes their reflections resonate deeply and sometimes they are off. Through that experimentation, my voice expands. The echo of that expansion shows me the importance and non importance of what I am communicating.

Metacognition is awareness of the structure that generates thought. It is the moment when I see the lens itself. It allows me to interrupt identity without breaking identity. It allows me to see the difference between a thought and the pattern that produces it, between emotional charge and inherited narrative, between projection and present signal. Attention carries direction and consequence. Where I place attention, disturbance amplifies or settles. Awareness compresses time because when I observe a pattern in real time, repetition dissolves at its root.

This process along with the recognition my body emits is playing beautifully between hemispheres of logical and emotive streams. For an emotional authority observing the wave patterns peak and do nothing has been quite beneficial in how I relate to situations people and things, the sensations are markers but are not truth in the now. It is fascinating how I say again and again that observing and learning how to read financial charts is a practice for my nervous system. if you see the pattern, the wavelength is never a straight line, the frequency differs depending of many factors and so it is fair to say that the observation brings relativity. Same as the nervous system that tracks our emotional body.

Right now I find myself within a field-state of evolution and transformation, as I become cognizant of how my value is fully embodied. The small quanta serves as the source of observation and correlation. They are the witness of my witnessing. I journal therefore I am. I also admit that this is why I consider myself a polymath and have the capacity to process many ideas and systems outside of linear time, in a field that connects dimensions.

In this field, it’s less about a static grid and more about how the dots actually connect across my own timeline. It’s the archetypes and the memory finally talking to each other. I see the scaffolding now, but it isn’t a rigid thing; it’s a geometry that breathes. It’s the connective tissue of my own awareness. I’m finding that when I simply observe, the correspondences reveal themselves. The emotion acts as the marker, the signal that I’m hitting a nerve, and then the pattern is free to move. It’s all one movement within the field.

Movement II: Praxis:

The contortionist

The upcoming eclipse of the 3rd of March is quite interesting in my chart. I will have the full moon in Virgo conjunct my natal Pluto in the eighth house. This transit activates deep cellular memory and purifies old bonds. It is the final release of relational patterns rooted in survival rather than coherence. Let’s define what Pluto in Virgo in the eighth house actually means. This placement refines power through crisis. It teaches discernment through intimacy while demanding integrity in every exchange. My moon is in Scorpio, ruled by Pluto, and sits in the ninth house. Because of this, every emotional realization becomes a philosophical direction. I seek deeper truth through a worldview shift.

The south node of the moon recently conjunct my Pluto around the end of December. This was the exact moment of karmic release. It ended a long cycle of entanglement and projection. It has been a week or so since it moved from the eighth house after a year and a half. It is now in my seventh house, starting to conjunct my natal Uranus. This creates a sudden break in relational patterns and an incredible liberation from old roles. This movement stands in direct opposition to Saturn in Pisces in my first house. Here, the body and self act as the authority and the boundary. I am creating a law within a somatic signal.

So the eclipse is potent because it completes the detox and initiates the alignment. I am going to talk about the contortionist. I am going to create that image. I am going to name any relational projection I held as an attachment or a persona. I have clarified this through an image of misalignment. My projection was to always make an equivalent of the care I gave. I believed it should return the same amount of care. This is a classic eighth-house exchange pattern, and it is dissolving at its root.

Now, others are withdrawing and I am withdrawing too. I use this absence as a selective engagement. It is very neutral right now. This is the seventh-house Uranus signature: neutrality, freedom, and unhooking from expectation. I am not longing. I am not expecting. There is no desire toward that. I am enjoying this new orientation. The north node is rising through the first house. This is self without apology.

Also because right now I was used to adjusting, contorting, and anticipating. I would rescue and accommodate. My body was always in a territorial conflict. It didn’t know where I was standing. Was I allowed to be in? Was I being replaced? Mercury and Mars are transiting Pisces, dissolving these old fear loops. There is no more conflict to resolve. There is no adrenaline wave. No repair cycle. It’s just neutral. The GNM resolution phase is complete. This is a resolution.

I no longer ask what I mean to a situation, person, or thing. I ask my body what this space does to my coherence. I feel sovereign. Saturn in the first house teaches sovereignty through somatic truth.

It’s about refining since the north node moved to the first house an identity recalibration, the self as the locus of orientation. It’s a first house Saturn. My body is the authority, and I’m really learning to listen to the somatic signal before the emotional pattern intends to hijack me. My moon ruled by Pluto means emotional clarity follows somatic clarity. The sound, the mark, the internal cue is Saturn shaping a new reflex, a new alignment, a new form. So it’s no longer about responding to others’ needs or availabilities. It’s about whether my energy remains coherent.

There’s a profound realization that I had yesterday when I was thinking about the space that I’m giving myself and how I’m unwilling to become a contortionist and trying to fit myself in the schedule of others, in the needs of others, in the field of others the first house Saturn eliminating old Virgo distortions of service. I sense now my body, like if there’s no alignment or resonance in a relationship, I don’t try. I just let it be surrendering to my authority, and I look and observe my wave of emotions, and I allow my nervous system to really give me the sound, the proper mark that allows me to get out of a habit and start creating a new one.

This is Pluto in Virgo’s evolutionary gift: refinement, precision, and correction surrendering at the polarity point where the sun will meet my natal Chiron. This is a coming of age where in this field what I see dissolving is the static grid and the dots keep connecting across my own timeline as the archetypes and memory finally speak to each other. I see the structure now and it is everything but rigid because it is very supportive, a geometry that is breathing freely as the connective tissue of my own awareness. When I simply observe, the correspondences reveal themselves naturally; emotion is a marker and a signal that I’m hitting a nerve, allowing the pattern to move freely as all one movement within the field.

You are the witness

You are observing how I metabolize and digest my process, you are witnessing my healing in real time, and even though I do not put a lot of details because those belong to my practitioners, I remain open about sharing the movement itself, the way the body processes, digests, releases, because this is the way I am healing in real time. And Virgo carries this capacity to metabolize truth slowly, to take an experience and break it down until nothing remains undigested, and the eclipse activates that precision through the full moon touching Pluto in Virgo in my eighth house, so everything becomes part of this long digestive cycle that has been working through me for months. Mercury retrograding in Pisces is echoing a path that began last spring when Venus and Mercury crossed the threshold into Aries and then returned to Pisces, refining the same steps, not at the same degree but in the same rhythm of correction and surrender, and this time the conversation is not mental, it is somatic, the surrender arrives through the body itself, expressing what is possible now and dissolving what can no longer be spoken in the old way. So you are seeing the metabolizing process as it happens, the way my system digests the sequence, the way I stay attentive to every signal, because this is how the healing becomes visible.

And the culmination of this cycle will arrive on August twenty eighth with the lunar eclipse at four degrees of Pisces, a mirror of what initiates now, opening the second passage of a process that began long before I named it. The presence of the moon on my Saturn will mark a moment when coherence becomes form, and responsibility becomes aligned, while the body carries the imprint of what has been integrated and allows the next truth to emerge without hesitation. The configuration touches my first house, seventh house, and fourth house while Uranus in gemini makes a t-square, so the evolutionary potential is rooted in identity, relationship, and home, these three axes will determine how I stand, how I engage, and how I return to myself. The pressure is not destabilizing; it is shaping the structure that can hold the next expression of my work, my voice, and my connections. Chiron moving to zero Taurus in late June, returning to the degree of its discovery at three Taurus almost 49 years ago, will open another layer that I will write about separately, because that return carries the medicine of my Jupiter and the memory of a cycle that has been waiting for completion.

The word comes from the Latin incentivum — that which sets the tune. From incinere: in, into; canere, to sing. It means to set the pitch. To begin the song.

Most people inherit their incentives without examining them, absorbing the logic of approval, security, or survival from environments that rewarded compliance and called it maturity.

My incentive starts from coherence. Coherence is an internal consistency, when all the parts of a system are moving in an ordered, non-contradictory way. In physics, coherence describes waves that are phase-locked. Psychologically, it suggests thoughts, emotions, and actions that do not fragment each other. Coherence is a harmony that creates a structure.

The second condition is alignment, alignment is a direction; it implies that I’m orienting into something. When I’m aligned, I am positioned correctly in relationship to a principle, a value, a timing, or a field. Alignment has a vector, hence it has intention, and it implies movement along an axis.

Coherence and alignment are operational conditions, the kind you can feel in the body before you can name them in language, and when they are both present, action stops being effortful and starts being inevitable.

Therefore, coherence feels like integration within, and alignment feels like right positioning within a larger order. Given everything that I talk, think, and share, between transits, timing, identity, self-governance, nervous system recalibration; alignment is what gets very close to my incarnation cross1, because I am always talking about timing, positioning, cycles, authority, and incentives. But for that to happen, coherence is a condition that is occurring internally.

The nervous system is where this either unfolds or consolidates. I’ve been working for more than a year on what it actually takes to live from coherence, and that has meant slowing down, letting the body recalibrate, and becoming willing to see which responses were mine and which were learned in rooms I no longer live in.

The nervous system holds memory, as it encodes every environment it passed through, every relationship that taught it what to expect, and it keeps running those predictions until something interrupts the pattern with enough consistency to replace it.

The interruption I committed to was risky, internal, methodical, and slow, because the nervous system changes through repetition, through choosing a different response in the same circumstances that used to trigger the old one, until the new response becomes the reflex. It has been one of the most challenging things I have done in my life, to not respond when people are in a difficult situation, because in my imagination I believed that my care was going to support them, and that is not care, that is an imprint of overly caring. I have in the last year really rewired my nervous system so I do not respond to those prompts anymore.

There is a distinction I keep returning to: the difference between fighting and standing. I am not a person that protests, because I would rather educate myself and find ways to confront a situation by asserting my rights, which by the way many people do not even know how to do, because there is a very big misunderstanding between the word lawful and legality.

Legality is the rules of the game; Law is the ground you stand on.2

You most often comply to things that you signed up for because you did not read the small print, because you thought that protesting was the way to do it. There are other ways of being free. It is just understanding what it is you are willing to stand for, and whether it is your rights or just something you think is fair or unfair, because justice is more embedded in what you give meaning to.

If you want to be self-authoring and have an identity of autonomy in your life, it is imperative not only to save in hard money, but also to understand what it is you’re complying with, how you are being compelled to perform3, how you can apply remedy, and how you can rescind or revoke certain mandates and actions that are being imposed on you as a living person.

Autonomy is an architecture that gets built slowly, from the inside, through every decision about what you comply with, what you rescind, and what you simply refuse to sign. And that architecture rests on the nervous system, because a person who is still running inherited panic, inherited deference, inherited self-erasure, will sign things they should not sign, defer to voices that carry no real authority, and keep calling it being reasonable.

I also have been focused so much on the architecture of my value, and yes, hard money and decentralized money are important, but if you do not know the laws, then you are still subject to the legal system. So if you want to be self-directed, it is imperative to understand both: what you are saving in, and what you are consenting to.

I have been watching my own boundaries reorganize for years, and I notice the world doing the same thing, which is why the digital globalism question feels personal to me, because it is the same question at a different scale.

The internet was born as a borderless space, built on the idea of open connection and equal access. Yet nation-states still operate through territorial authority and borders, political structures grounded in jurisdiction over land and property. So even if the infrastructure feels global, governments can and do assert control over it. That tension between a borderless network and sovereign boundaries seems to be intensifying. It raises a question: can we really sustain global digital connectivity while resisting global political or monetary integration? I am observing the contradiction and what it could possibly erupt into, because that is where I see the world heading. States that are self-governing are establishing boundaries through immigration policy and digital laws that restrict information.

Countries and sovereign borders have identities, and that is what nationalism means at its root. Private companies also establish boundaries through terms of service that most users do not read and that are regularly updated with additional limits. Is this censorship? In the strict sense, censorship applies to state action. When a private company operates layers of the internet, the relationship is contractual; you agree to the terms when you open the account.

From a common law perspective, this distinction makes sense: censorship traditionally refers to government restriction of speech, whereas private platforms set conditions of access through contract. The legal and philosophical debate arises when private platforms function as dominant infrastructure while remaining formally private actors.

It doesn’t take much to notice that the collective tone has already shifted. Three days ago at the Munich Security Conference, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated, “The world order as it has stood for decades no longer exists.” At the same conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “We are in a new geopolitics era because the old world is gone.” In a recent reflection, Ray Dalio wrote that we are entering a new world order. I am not building a thesis here; I am just observing orientation. When leaders speak in this register, something structural has already shifted underneath. When the river makes noise, it is carrying rocks. If the body has not caught up with that shift, it will always feel out of breath, reacting to what has already begun.

A cycle closes today, 36 years since globalism got attention after the Berlin Wall, the adoption of the euro, when the dissolution of old block structures gave way to the illusion that we could all sleep in the same bed with no consequences.

The post-1945 architecture included the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the World Health Organization, and the dollar-anchored monetary order that followed. Roughly 80 to 82 years later, a full Uranian cycle, that institutional framework is being questioned while the economic landscape has shifted. Debt structures, monetary policy, reserve currency assumptions, digital assets, and strategic positioning no longer resemble the postwar consensus. The staggering volume of derivatives, now measured in the hundreds of trillions of dollars and increasingly decoupled from underlying productive reality, creates a secondary layer of systemic risk that the original Bretton Woods institutions were never designed to contain. This is a shift in the structure of what is being called value. The cycle that starts today asks for full accountability, and there is no clear map drafted.

What I do when these things show up is sit down, observe, look for patterns, and bring some discernment to the thing, because there is nothing I can do other than take care of my rights and take care of my compliance or lack of compliance, to lead and live a better life.

The incentive for me is to be 100% free, joyful, and creative, and to trust in myself; and if I am going to trust myself, I have to understand the difference between law and legality. I have to understand why the money in the world is inflated and carries no stored value. I have to understand why my nervous system reacts instead of responds.

Coherence is the internal harmony of all parts moving together without fragmentation, and alignment is the intentional positioning of that integrated system along a chosen axis of meaning, timing, and direction.

The process of creation is unyielding. It begins with a framework, a skeleton of an idea that requires the creator to navigate and maneuver through a sea of possibilities. This journey represents the fundamental struggle between the chaos of the draft vs. the order of the edit, where the ultimate goal is to strip away the noise until the core message is finally lucid.

Success in this space requires a constant balance of static rules vs. fluid execution. While the invisible logic vs. visible results may seem disconnected to an outsider, the editor understands that every high-level choice requires a specific nuance. We build upon ancient foundations vs. modern applications, ensuring that the final product maintains a perfect tension of clinical precision vs. raw emotion.

Eclipse Shenanigans

Eclipses do not arrive politely, we are in an eclipse window, Feb 17 - March 3 2026. There is a clear rupture in the collective, and individually, those who want to see the truth and those who want to keep the old past alive, keeping memories alive that have not matured. Denial is a bitch because it catches up eventually. The eclipse came as a good friend to those who claimed readiness to leave behind a degenerate vision. The future is filled with principled individuals, and it demands and requires transparency.

What the eclipse activated was already moving in the nervous system of anyone paying attention, the pressure toward coherence, the demand for alignment, the end of performing a version of yourself that no longer has enough energy to sustain itself. Most personal planets have been traveling through the same area where this eclipse occurred, and these subjects have been imminent in my consciousness for months, accumulating slowly until the eclipse made them impossible to postpone.

The astrology is an atmosphere, the real weather is inside.

What is your incentive? The one you actually live from, the one the nervous system already knows, the one the eclipse just made harder to ignore.

As a record of what actually happened when the rewiring became real.

The body knows the difference, even when the mind is still negotiating.

That sentence took years to mean what it means now.

As long as I have joy creating, that gives me trust, and therefore everything initiates into a place of abundance and self-authority.

This is the architecture > Joy as the foundation of trust, trust as the condition of agency, self-direction as the ground from which aligned action becomes possible. I am willing to spend less time educating people who are not ready and more time engaged with people who are really willing to cross the line.

The invitation here is simple, and it asks everything of you.

Where is your joy? What does your nervous system do when you imagine actually living from it, fully, without managing how it lands on others? Is the image warm and shaped like a sturdy companion, or does it dissolve the moment someone else’s shame enters the room?

You do not have to answer out loud. But the body already knows, and it has been waiting for you to stop pretending otherwise.

So what Comes Next?

Saturn defines while Neptune establishes your connection to the divine.

You are free, standing for your rights and holding your bags, the old habits and attitudes have left your nervous system, stripping you from an outdated identity. As the reset begins, what do you feel? How is the image or idea felt in the body, is it warm and shaped like a sturdy companion? Or a flimsy sweaty handshake from someone hiding his truth behind excuses and mostly shame for not having the ability to connect?

Mmm. Which, and where are you?

Everything is perfect.

Cyclical Context

The present moment reflects the convergence of long-duration cycles that reorganize incentives at different scales. Some cycles redirect collective desire and survival strategy. Some redefine ideological authority. Others restructure the institutional container of money, debt, and governance.

The period between 2026 and 2028 marks the intersection of three temporal architectures.

The ~18.6-year nodal cycle on the Aquarius–Leo axis corresponds to a collective evolutionary shift between individual sovereignty and participation within larger networks. The nodal axis describes a polarity between past conditioning and directional growth. When the North Node moves through Aquarius and the South Node through Leo, emphasis shifts away from centralized authority, charismatic leadership, and ego-driven narratives, and toward decentralized systems, technological mediation, collective structures, and network-based organization.

Each time the North Node enters Aquarius, monetary tension becomes visible. The 1933 cycle corresponds with gold confiscation and monetary centralization. The 1971 cycle corresponds with the suspension of gold convertibility and the formalization of the fiat regime. The 2007–2009 cycle corresponds with the global financial crisis and exposure of systemic leverage giving birth to bitcoin as the most important technology of this century. Aquarius nodal periods repeatedly coincide with stress around monetary sovereignty, and financial network structure.

The ~36-year Saturn–Neptune cycle resets the boundary between definition and trust. Saturn governs law, authority, and institutional form. Neptune governs myth, divinity and unconscious collective imagination. When they converge, the narrative that justifies power dissolves and must be rewritten. These periods consistently coincide with ideological reorganization and shifts in what is legitimate.

The ~80–84-year Uranian institutional cycle shocks the framework itself, disrupting entrenched systems forcing quick adaptation. The container of monetary authority and governance undergoes pressure to reorganize.

When these cycles overlap, systemic re-evaluation follows. Incentives that once held coherence fracture. Institutional narratives lose stability. Financial architecture encounters structural constraint and redesign pressure. Reorientation becomes necessary, and value must be reshaped from first principles.

The following timeline outlines these cycles and their historical markers as reference points.

The ~18.6-Year Nodal Cycle

Across each Aquarian return, a clear pattern emerges: monetary authority consolidates, credit expands beyond tangible backing, and sovereignty narrows under the language of progress, unity, or emergency. In 1839–1840 and again in the late nineteenth century, industrial and imperial credit systems intensified, exposing tensions between commodity discipline and political expansion of money. By 1915–1916, elastic currency and coordinated central banking scaled through war, normalizing fractional reserves under federal design. The 1933–1935 gold confiscation centralized monetary power under emergency decree, and by 1952–1953 the fiscal-military state embedded permanent deficit spending into economic structure.

The decisive rupture arrived in 1971, when gold convertibility ended and the full fiat regime formalized; from there, financialization accelerated, disparities widened, and capital increasingly flowed through debt. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989–1990 reorganized geopolitics and concentrated monetary authority in supranational institutions, narrowing local sovereignty under the promise of integration. Finally, the 2007–2009 crisis exposed decades of leveraged credit while digital financial layers expanded over legacy systems, surveillance intensified, and custody shifted toward centralized monitoring. Each cycle reveals the same structural arc: greater abstraction of money, deeper credit dependency, and the recurring need to safeguard value beyond concentrated control.

Commodity Credit vs. Circulation Credit

Two forms of credit operate within monetary systems.

Commodity credit refers to lending existing money or specie. The lender transfers stored value and later receives the same quantity back. The money supply does not expand. The lender’s incentive is security, custody, and the orderly return of what was entrusted.

Circulation credit permits banks to issue claims beyond existing reserves through accounting expansion. Credit is created through debt issuance rather than the transfer of existing commodity-backed funds. The money supply expands structurally through leverage, increasing monetary claims without a corresponding increase in underlying goods.

When centralized banking scaled during wartime finance in the 1910s, elastic currency and coordinated credit expansion became normalized. Over successive cycles, reliance on circulation credit compounded leverage across the system. The current U.S. federal debt, exceeding $37 trillion, reflects the cumulative expansion of a debt-based monetary architecture layered over this system of credit issuance.

As Ludwig von Mises wrote, “There are two sorts of credit: commodity credit and circulation credit.” Commodity credit transfers present goods against future goods. Circulation credit, issued through fiduciary media not covered by money, expands claims without increasing real capital. Credit expansion does not create wealth; it creates additional titles to the same underlying resources.

Today this distinction clarifies what is unfolding. Even assets considered hard money, such as silver, gold, or Bitcoin, are increasingly mediated through derivatives, options, futures, and exchange-traded structures that trade as paper claims rather than as settlement in the underlying asset. In the case of Bitcoin, January 2024 marked a structural shift with the issuance of spot ETFs, introducing large-scale institutional wrappers that allow exposure without direct custody. The market now operates with layered claims on a finite base, and price discovery increasingly reflects flows within these derivative structures rather than simple transfer of the asset itself. The monetary good remains scarce; the claims upon it multiply.

In this kind of structure, the real value sits with the people who actually hold the asset, coins in cold storage, metals in vaults. Direct custody; everything else is a claim layered on top of a claim. Those layers depend on counterparties, clearing houses, and legal continuity, if the system fractures, those promises fracture with it. What remains is what is directly held. In a full systemic break, paper evaporates; possession endures.

Creativity as Compulsion 00:07:35 “When I get a creative hit, it’s just like all encompassing. Like it colors my entire world. It gives me a surge of energy, which cannot be ignored.”

Individuality Before Collective 00:15:21 “All we can do is be ourselves. And then through that process, we attract other people that are just being themselves. And then that’s how community is formed.”

Refusal to Settle 00:22:00 “Then I just started at the same time building this refusal to settle within.”

Responsibility & Ownership 00:32:48 “You have to take radical responsibility for your life. You have to look at yourself first.”

Integrity, Masculinity & Structure 00:44:12 “It’s about becoming a man of integrity. Doing what you say you’re going to do.”

Incentives & Systems Awareness 00:52:18 “People respond to incentives… and if you understand the incentives, you understand behavior.”

Joy as Alignment & Liberation 01:03:37 “I say liberation is when there’s as little dissonance as possible between who you are and what you do.”

Community + Program Working Hand in Hand 01:21:45 “So you can be in a community like this and be the best version of yourself… So they work hand in hand.”

I know the title sounds very dark, but actually when things collapse, other things emerge, so I am more focused on the emergence part rather than the collapsing. Yet it is here, the famous ultra-famous season of eclipses and the conjunction of a life time cycle.

Today I will not speak that much. It is a small reflection, a very tiny one.

What do you want to be?

How do you want to contribute?

What is it that you observe that can be completely different in your landscape?

How do you want to be authentic?

So many questions, yet I need space to live through this.

And here it is, Friday the 13th. Saturn is leaving Pisces for good since March 2023, the planet of maturation, time, support, direction, and definition, leaving the end of the zodiac, showing us that if we are not responsible for whatever we want to create, and that information is NOT wired to the divine, it would be chaotic, drowning in victimization. From an evolutionary perspective, Saturn leaving Pisces marks the completion of a karmic reckoning that has asked the collective for emotional maturity, also confronted spiritual accountability, at the same time it shows as a dissolution of old collective illusions that have shaped our unconscious patterns since 2023.

Now it is directed into new areas as it conjoins Neptune at zero degrees of Aries on the 20th of February. This shift calls the ignition of a new archetypal impulse within the collective soul, where individuals will begin to separate from collective confusion, and where each person is asked to take responsibility for the vision they carry forward into manifestation. THANK YOU Saturn!

It is the dawn of a new era; I believe it has been thousands of years since it touched the same place with the same planet in the same degree. We do have this cycle every 36 years, so there are things about closing in terms of our institutions and constructions that are social, last time 1989, in Capricorn, Saturn was ruling the institutions or walls while Neptune dissolved them and we saw the collapse of the Cold War. This time Neptune in Aries dissolves and reveals what is real, and Saturn builds, sustains, and at that rate defines. But it is interesting because it is at zero degrees of Aries, so Aries is all about individuality. So the question is really very personal. Zero degrees of Aries represents the raw impulse of the soul choosing a new direction, the moment of initiation where desire becomes conscious and the path forward depends on the courage to embody one’s authentic evolutionary necessity. Beyond collective pressure, acceptance even encouragement; this is your time to be free.

The conjunction is also falling in Gate 25, line 3 the integrity and illusions about being spiritual, about the strictness that comes with that line, we are inducted into pure sincerity. Line 3 is all about mutation through experience. We integrate wisdom through confrontation and friction. Only through movement do we evolve, by demanding responsibility for how this innocence of the heart should be expressed, Neptune amplifies this longing for unity and transcendence. Therefore, the meeting asks, can love be embodied without bypassing reality?

But before that, we will have the new moon on February 17th at 28 degrees of Aquarius, even more, a solar eclipse. This is going to be quite eruptive because it is also squaring the ruler of the new moon in Aquarius, Uranus, which is at the last degrees of Taurus. So anything that seemed to be stable, valuable, resources, talents, money, a way of living, could be tipping one side or the other while the collective is making choices about whether this ship is going to go on, is it going to sink, or is it going to arrive at the shore. Eclipses accelerate karmic timelines, revealing where attachment to security has limited growth and where the soul is ready to liberate itself from outdated structures in order to align with a more authentic frequency.

A beautiful detail is Venus in Pisces conjunct the North Node at 9 degrees of Pisces. From an evolutionary perspective, this speaks directly to the soul’s desire for relational truth, and value rooted in spiritual integrity. Can you remember what was happening in your life around these same dates in 2007? This eclipse is a higher octave of what you were working on then. The houses where the end of Aquarius and the end of Taurus fall in your chart will be activated, and now Venus with the North Node refines the path forward through conscious choice.

These eclipses are leading us into shore as a corrective movement of consciousness, guiding the collective and the individual toward decisions that reflect deeper truth and evolutionary alignment.

Be sure to keep a clean connection to your higher self, to your soul, to your gods, to your frequency…

As my body recovered recently, it spoke clearly. It said, thank you, but no thank you. You don’t need to carry what’s no longer relevant. I listened. I set myself free.

Where I’m Showing Up, and How

I’m writing from my heart. I know many people are writing about astrology and all the changes. All I have to say right now is this: if you’ve been doing your work, You’ve been following your path; You’ve been listening to your needs, and you’ve evaluated those needs in a very subjective way. You don’t need any more guidance because you’re already acting, already contributing, already at the beginning of a new era.

I speak to you, dear reader slash listener, who has asked me to become a mirror for you through Human Design and Evolutionary Astrology charts. When I do these readings, I simply show you who you are. You already know those beautiful qualities you have. I’m here reflecting> That’s all.

I’m very grateful and honored to have been able to support so many people in the last years. It’s an incredible challenge/talent I hold, one of many. I’m grateful that I not only cultivate my own path, but also become of service through it. Evolutionary Astrology has supported me through the darkest nights of my soul, When I recognized its value, I asked myself, how do I do this, how can I support others when they find themselves in those corners of life where decisions must be taken bravely and courage needs to be enacted; since 2017, I haven’t looked back.

With care and responsibility, I attract the souls that resonate with my own at the moment of the reading. Below, I’ll leave a list testimonials I’ve received in recent weeks, they warm my heart. I don’t share them for praise, but as a simple testimony that I may be doing something right.

When I create art, the energy is similar, though focused differently, the energy moves toward a larger community, toward a building, a place, a collective with specific needs. I listen, then translate those needs into color, shape, form, harmony, and beauty, creating balance and spaces of presence. This is another talent that has been part of my life. It wasn’t given for free, and it wasn’t something I studied formally. It’s something I practiced, something I refined through deep listening and love for my clients, from a place of truth and warmth. I’m humbled by it.

I’m humbled that even now, in 2026, after stepping outside the Matrix, I’m still being hired and called to be of service in this way. It gives me freedom. It gives me time to study subjects that are dear to my heart. This space where I write and share is something I hold with care. It’s a commitment I’ve made to myself. I thank each one of you who listens or reads, even if it’s only once in a while. It genuinely makes me happy.

Returning to the astrology of this week, the energies are potent. January carried a Capricorn stellium, followed by an Aquarius stellium, and soon the planets will move through Pisces, then Aries, and onward, eclipses are activating changes. Everything that’s initiating and emerging supports those who’ve had the courage to leave behind what no longer shapes them.

I also want to share that I’ve prerecorded all the sessions of My First Bitcoin. It’s an open source program I adapted with my own graphics, my own voice, and my own scripts. You can study Bitcoin at your own pace through these recordings. I offer this in two ways: self-study through the recordings alone, or a deeper option with guidance, answers, and technical support for onboarding and understanding the system more fully.

-:-Bitcoin self-study sessions-:-

based on the mi primer bitcoin open source curriculum, i have crafted twelve hours of prerecorded modules that move from the history of money and fiat systems into bitcoin’s foundations, how the network works, and the practical steps to buy, store, and secure bitcoin through self custody.

-:-Evolutionary astrology self-study sessions-:-

I am also offering Evolutionary Astrology for beginners as prerecorded material, with the option for private sessions where we integrate and deepen the work together.

The course consists of eight prerecorded sessions based on foundational evolutionary astrology. An extended option is available which includes eight hours of private integration sessions.

There is an additional module of four prerecorded sessions I call Value Audits, where your chart is translated into a concrete structure that looks like a choreography. Based on the chart, decisions can lead to needs that are essential, thus embodying value and foundational responsibility. I am also available privately for integration sessions. For this module, it is advisable to have studied the basic course or to have had a reading with me recently.

This module will be available mid -march

I am offering this now because it feels like the right moment to share what I do with care, clarity, and love, in a way that supports real understanding, embodiment, and responsibility of your own evolution.

In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances. Rather, they are different aspects of one whole and unbroken movement.

-David Bohm from Wholeness and the Implicate Order

So what happens when you come down off the tower into the battlefield and your point of view changes from overall to, I’ve got to deal with the next thing. Have any of you ever done either Taijiquan, shadowboxing, or Aikido’s Randori. They teach adaptability, spatial awareness, and non-resistance, requiring the defender to redirect energy, stay mobile, and constantly face new threats. In this praxis, you have to deal one by one, step by step, with the opponent; and it’s interesting, because even if a lot of things come your way, you have to choose one by one how to deal with it in the moment, creating a state of presence. So when you decide to come down from the tower or the mountain to the field, it is important, in my view, my humble view, that you understand the field, the environment. What is it made of? Because everything that you will think and how you are going to respond is going to be altered by the influence of the field, the environment.

It is also very interesting how people refer to life being either a battlefield or being a field full of creativity. I can tell from when I was growing up with my mom, a recent widow, she was always referred to somebody who was a good fighter, so resilient and people admired her because she was very strong and at the same time she had a lot of volition and she will make things happen. Now, looking back, people were trying to say things in a different way. If I look back what my mom did after my father passed, even before, she prepared the field full of seeds toward creating something that will actually be her life in education for her children and the children that she loved. She loved children altogether. It was that she was very innovative, so ahead of her time. She had ideas that could be labeled as crazy, but they weren’t, she had a vision. She possessed a spark that made her go all the way, that imagination, that wit, that wisdom was what people could not name. Because out of the ordinaries, especially in the late 60s, early 70s, women were not supposed to behave like that, so she was labeled like she’s a fighter. And of course my mom would fight for what she believed, but she never made it feel that it was a fight, she actually always made it feel it was a joy. She will always say to me that if I wanted to be successful and happy in my life, that depended on the choices I made.

My mom was the biggest creator I ever met, and just growing up with that environment gave me the possibility to even think that I could be an artist. I didn’t know I wanted to be an artist to be honest, I just wanted to do stuff, feel free combining curiosity with materials. And then later I refined that to, oh, I’m a creator, I want to make art. But as you know, I’m not just defined by art creation. Although creating art has given me a schooling on how to manifest things in my life. So I’m interested in creation per se, more than just fine art. Visual Art is a fraction of what I do, a very important fraction, let me say. Yet writing is also part of this creation as it is reading astrological charts or teaching what I love. And it is because of the environment that I was growing up in with my mom & grandmother were always very supportive.

“THE ALL is MIND; the Universe is Mental.”
— The Kybalion, Principle I: The Principle of Mentalism

And what I’m talking here is not so much a reality that is physical, although I’m using analogies that say so. It’s mental, of the mind, such as it is written in The Kybalion1, if you have yet to read that volume, or if you have done quantum healing, you know that everything starts as a thought process. But yeah, great, read all the books, but do you practice them? Because the knowledge, the Gnosis2, is not in the books, it’s not in the words. It’s not in the likes. It is in how you respond on a moment to moment basis. And we all have different kinds of challenges like that.

I was writing that, yeah, we don’t know where we’re going, but we can make sure that we choose the environment where we decide to take action, an environment that starts in the mental realm. So I’m gonna talk about dimensions, and about how rewiring the mental realm is probably the most challenging, because we’re made out of our thoughts. So we had thought processes that were embedded in our minds since we were little, and they were wired depending on how we were reacting toward our environment and our family. Were they taking care of us? Were they feeding us correctly? Did we go to school or into a situation where we felt loved? Did we have to hustle to try to get attention? What were the conditions? So the environment, what Bruce Lipton called epigenetics, is so much reliant on how thoughts and matter are going to evolve. These “conditions” that drive epigenetics are not just external factors like toxins or diet, but crucially include internal signals generated by our thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions.

Dimensions, the Architecture of Experience

Let’s start from the origin, the root, a field that is undifferentiated, that is just pure potential before there’s any movement. It’s like a state where there is existence, but yet no polarity, emptiness, no time, no story, the wuji, the zen circle, beginning, nothingness. As we introduce desire, this is where the field is bending, where you can see the appearance of intention, and there’s a directional impulse, sort of like the first beat. It is splitting, because it starts making differentiation. The field uses polarity through a dynamic of both attraction and repulsion; there’s magnetism, and there, of course, is choice, where toward and away from first emanate.

Let’s move to the third stage or dimension. And this is a form that gets stabilized, matter, time, sequence, causality. The arena, the dojo of practice, where consequence and learning through action, embodiment, reside. And this is also so important because it’s where thought becomes behavior, and behavior will sculpt your life. This is also the environment where we train to fail or to succeed, to repeat, and mostly to adapt. This is the battlefield. This is when one becomes action.

There is something happening at the same time in another frequency, or in another dimension, but it is parallel. It is holding the emotional body. It holds all memory and resonance. And it is a field that is shared, not just personal emotion. It’s relational and collective frequency where the mood, the narrative, and meaning populate and circulate. This dimension modulates how the third material dimension feels. It is also based on time, because this is where we perceive past, present, and future. And there is an interpretation of the events that is happening here. And, of course, where you start making sense of coherence or incoherence, where things stick or don’t stick. It is a holding field, it’s a field that holds the first three.

Let’s stay here for a bit, because this is the most salient thing these days. How this field is enveloping your life. This is where you plan the next move based on the clarity of the environment, or where you’re gonna get sucked or moved or taken to other fields that maybe don’t belong to you, but you’re resonating at that frequency, therefore they become you. You see, we’re also susceptible to the environment if we take no action.

How can you take action? Well, we use intention, aspiration. What is it that you aspire to be? What intention is set up and how are you going to focus and tend to it? How are you going to give attention to it? Because in this field, this is where we manifest at different frequencies, where imagination makes us feel. It is the emotional body that gives us an impression that we have an identity, that we belong, but it is not in itself alone what matters, but it is what makes things matter.

Let’s talk about quanta and healing. Funny, I don’t like to use the word healing, I’d rather use the word wholesomeness because it implies that you are complete. Healing implies that you’re broken. Quanta being the smallest particles can be measured or it is change initiated at the smallest measurable level of information, intention, and perception, where coherence in thought and emotion reorganizes experience towards wholesomeness.

I’ve been introducing different components, and the next one is timelines. You see, the fourth level introduces time as a way of connecting the emotional experience or identification with the mental pre-creation and co-creation of reality. Therefore, your environment is made of smallest particles that will make you believe the reality that you are in tune with» that’s your timeline.

So would it be fair to say that if you choose your environment correctly, when you breathe, when you are aware of your thoughts, and you’re aware of your emotional response, and how you identify with it, then you can actually tune into the smallest particles and co-create a different outcome? This is what I’m meaning with this, and why am I talking about this today is because of what I’ve been saying in the last articles, that we still don’t know where we’re going. But we are the co-creators of orientation.

If you tune into a place where there is lack, or there is only friction, or there is only one side winning, and you are in a battlefield where you are faced with the opponent all the time, you are feeding the environment with more rage, with more information to keep on being in the battlefield. But if you are aware of that, then you take each one, like in randori, in aikido, one by one as they come, and you decide how to respond to it, it will make a very different outcome. And this works at all levels, with your body, with your emotions, with your mind, and it will even allow your spirit to tune into a different realm or frequency.

And this is where it becomes very empowering, this is where choice, human action, transforms you from co-creator to the main creator of your timeline, of your outcomes, of your field. Where do you want to tune in? How do you want that outcome to be? And I’m not saying that if you have challenges to run away from them, what I’m saying is that if you see that you’re tuning into a battlefield, the question is like, do you really have to create a war, defend yourself, and kill the opponent, or a lot of this war is purely mental? It’s not even real, it is a construct; it may not be a threat even; it’s something that you are co-creating because you’re making it happen passively or actively.

And… this is where the power of intention is so profound. I remember around the year 2000 when I started really leaving a part of myself that had my mind taken over by substances such as weed, alcohol, and you know, easy life back in my mid thirties when I was in New York. You know, I was an artist and things were happening. And therefore I was being less intentional about things and more like, okay, go with the flow. Until I realized, wait, maybe this is not the lifestyle I want, and I did a full 180. I quit smoking with a hypnotist, and this is where I started understanding, -oh my God, the power of the mind is so profound that I just go to a woman that speaks through a microphone while I lie down and she says a few words that then make me not want to smoke another cigarette ever again, August 1st 2003.- Mind you, I’ve been smoking since I was a teenager. So 20 years of cigarettes were finished within a 20 minute session.

After that, I started being very interested in reconnecting my body with my mind, my emotional body and the spiritual too. This was a moment of reintegration, of coherence, where I slowly was led into learning directly from a Taoist master because my body started to show signs of incoherence. Thus, I started a journey of training my mind, that’s what happened with my Taoist teacher, he was not the first teacher, there were a series of events that led me from one place to the next until I did study with one particular. For nine years I trained, it was so powerful as a base that led to many things where I am right now. When I say training the mind, it’s understanding that everything that I think is a construction, that thought forms populate my environment. So it gives me the power of responsibility that whatever I feed my mind with, whether they’re worries or they’re great ideas that I want to execute creatively, it is how this intention is fed and how these ideas can become very concrete at the battlefield because they’re also going to be influenced, nourished by the environment that you decide to survive or thrive in.

That’s why both poetry and music are so important, as the muses because these are ways of finding inspiration through resonance. I wouldn’t say movies are that anymore because unfortunately, they’ve been hijacked by industries that silently indoctrinate. And even pop music nowadays, is completely hijacked, but I’m speaking more of the idea of tuning into something that gives you hope and it gives you wisdom and it gives you an open field full of probabilities and different timelines that you can choose from. From your own human action and also because you’re in tune with frequency that makes you feel good.

You see, feelings are super important; so if you stay in a state of fear, that’s your environment and that’s the outcome. It’s all about survival. If you stay in the field of anxiety, that’s your nervous system, it can be a wreck to be living like that; or you’re over controlling. Your body takes possession of your mind and your emotions through the nervous system. even too much joy could tamper your heart, so everything done with intention and attention really yields a different result. There is anger as well, which is one of my favorite emotions because it gives me the drive to change, not to continue and try to kill the opponent, but to know there’s another way, only behead (metaphorically) your opponent, if he poses a life threat…. There’s always another way. And there is sadness, which these days, the whole world is sad because a way of life is completely gone. And so when you try to hold on to things that are no longer good for you, you get dragged into a field of desperation and maybe depression. So that’s why all the emotions were made so we could become aware of our identity. We can identify with certain things and they serve a purpose. Fear will tell your body that you’re in danger. Anger will tell your body that you have an option to choose something different. Sadness will tell your body that it’s time to let go. Anxiety is going to tell your body to pick something else, to edit things out, maybe stop controlling. And joy is going to tell your body to have fun. To a certain degree.

And by the way, all the polarity that you see everywhere is inside of yourself because you tuned to it. You tune to people calling each other things, to parties painting themselves with different colors, authority versus the people, the people versus the authority. It’s all within; we have that polarity embedded in our psyche, we are the polarity; the scope is not to choose one. The scope is to synthesize and integrate what is best at every specific moment.

That’s why becoming sovereign and having your own decision making based on what is good for you, it is different than just following other people’s tracks. So important these days, the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune is going to reset the whole world order. I’ve been saying it... it’s not just financial, it’s everything. You just have to look at the news, everything is being revealed. Nothing that you thought that it would be true is true, and that includes you. Which timeline are you living?

What part of yourself has been faking it? What part of yourself has not owned your own environment because you have created a space that is incoherent. This is a call of action to just take some time. It could be ten minutes. It could be a day. It could be a week. It could be a month. It could be the next part of your life to be solidly in tune with your thought process, because those thoughts create actions, and actions create habits, and character is made out of repetition, and character does create a destiny. This is an old saying that comes from India, that has been attributed to Gandhi, but it’s been said by many people, and it does sound true.

“…while we sleep here, we are awake elsewhere, and in this way every man is two men.”

— Jorge Luis Borges, Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

Have a good week.

Bitcoin margin calls and current astrology »

For those wondering why the price of Bitcoin is going down, a significant portion of the explanation lies in how Bitcoin has functioned as collateral over the last several years, particularly through lending products that allowed borrowers to access fiat currency by pledging their Bitcoin holdings at loan to value ratios typically hovering around fifty percent. I tracked this closely because the mechanics of these arrangements created an automatic escalation of risk as price declined, with margin calls triggered once loan to value ratios crept into the seventy to seventy-five percent range, requiring borrowers to either add more Bitcoin or repay part of the loan, and when they could not meet these demands, liquidations followed at thresholds ranging roughly from eighty to ninety percent loan to value depending on platform policies, fee structures, and volatility assumptions baked into the terms.

The introduction of ETFs has pulled Bitcoin more deeply into traditional fiat market structures where exposure is increasingly synthetic, expressed through derivatives, leverage, options, and pre-planned hedging strategies that shape price movements in ways that reflect these instruments rather than simple supply and demand for the underlying asset. Actual ownership remains straightforward for those who hold coins in cold storage, but each cycle delivers its lesson in real time to traders, leverage users, and holders alike, teaching through consequence what theory cannot fully convey.

Beheading the status quo:

Current price action aligns closely with the astrological backdrop unfolding through early 2026, with Venus moving through Aquarius across Bitcoin’s natal Neptune softening shared agreements around price and certainty in ways that render valuation fluid and bring relationship, trust, and expectation to the foreground.

The inconjunct to natal Saturn in the second house creates pressure between material limits and perceived value, a configuration that points toward adjustment through lived experience rather than intellectual understanding.

The Venus–Uranus square at twenty-seven degrees Taurus carries strong nervous energy as Uranus completes its Taurus passage, closing a chapter that began in 2018 and delivered repeated shocks to assumptions about what was stable and secure. The fixed star Algol adds a bodily dimension to this transit, activating deep fear responses connected to loss and survival. As Uranus turns direct for the final time in Taurus, the lesson consolidates into something more permanent.

Nodal activity across the 8th and second houses intensifies this process considerably, with the North Node in the eighth conjunct Venus drawing attention to shared resources, debt, trust, and power dynamics that operate beneath the surface of daily price action. The inconjunct (270°) to the Leo South Node over the Ascendant reduces identity-driven certainty and redirects attention toward survival intelligence, the kind of knowing that operates below conscious decision-making.

Mercury retrograding in Pisces through the eighth house through March reopens conversations around risk, leverage, belief, and fear, revisiting what was overlooked when it meets Venus and then retracing those steps as the retrograde unfolds. The square to natal Pluto Mars in Capricorn brings these themes into the terrain of control, authority, and force, suggesting confrontations with power structures both internal and external.

Wake up call

Saturn and Neptune coming together in Aries in the ninth house conduct bitcoin’s Aries moon describe the longer arc of this period, during which ideological structures thin out and beliefs reset through lived experience rather than collective conviction. What remains after this passage is conviction shaped by responsibility, time, and direct engagement with reality rather than hope or speculation.

460 days back to October 2024, before the election trades landed, before the ETF narrative locked in, before 100k felt like something we had already lived through. Today’s candle drops 8.32% on double the average volume, the kind of move that carries conviction behind it. Ichimoku shows price sitting 15,000 below the Kijun, a distance from equilibrium that resolves either through sharp reclaim or continued descent toward whatever structure waits below. The Chikou Span confirms the drop. The transits confirm the same, Neptune fog burning off, Uranus closing out its Taurus cycle, Venus pressing natal Saturn in the place where material limits live. A year of accumulation comes undone in a matter of weeks.

The cloud twists bullish in June though the real work happens between now and then. Saturn-Neptune in Aries will strip the scaffolding from belief systems that felt permanent, what survives this passage for many will turn out to be what was real all along.

On an individual level the question still remains, why do you bitcoin?

We stand at a threshold and the upcoming eclipses along with the approaching Saturn Neptune conjunction will unfold gradually, revealing a different reality already taking shape beneath the surface. These shifts never arrive all at once, they surface through constraints and real life drama, through those moments when old assumptions simply stop holding. I have been writing for some time now that the economic system already shifted beneath our feet and what we witness now is the slow recognition of that change, structures reorganizing while meaning catches up with what has already moved.

I stay positive as my positions carry no risk of being wiped out. I use this time to study deeper, to understand better, to keep emotion out of the room where economic decisions get made.

Dane Rudhyar, The Pulse of Life

The question these days that arises inside of me is how do you rebuild when everything is crumbling and what stands up is just the columns of old structures that no longer stand. How do you rebuild, what do you save, what do you actually eliminate for good.

Because of having been under the weather for over three weeks, it was for sure a reset that my body needed; especially as my nervous system was being rewired from the core. My body started showing signs of needing more sleep, less food, and taking more time to remain still so I could slowly adapt and restructure. Although I do not label myself as being sick, I see it as an opportunity to remove old tracks.

The first week was hard, having come back from Medellín, old tracks were again flaring. These tracks, I have come to understand, are often unconscious sensory or emotional imprints, echoes of past moments that, when touched again by a familiar place, scent, voice, or feeling, can quietly awaken stored patterns in the body. Environmental or emotional reminders from Medellín or similar contexts may have reignited these patterns in my nervous system, briefly reactivating parts of a previously unresolved or healing biological program.

The second week slowly showed me that rest, stillness, sleep, and no food were medicine. Any relationship to the outside world I met with distance and emotional maturity. There was no space for error. I am starting the third week, which follows a time of profound realizations. It is all about integration. Today, under the rays of the sun and with colder weather than usual, my bronchi are responding to bone broth and soft care. My body, it seems, still knows exactly what it is doing.

I still cannot see the full clarity of things, just a glimpse. What I see is that we are in the middle of the mess, too many things to be distracted by, too many emotions from others that can spoil or contaminate my environment. I do not need to react to anybody’s low self-esteem or expectations of me. I am fully activated as a responsible being.

I see the panic of the markets, and I see the panic of everybody being on a list and trying hard to discriminate others. Even award season is a circus. Why bother? Why are you still surprised. We live in a psy-op of a psy-op of a psy-op.

Nothing that you have experienced in your life since you were born is true, nor your parents and grandparents. Nothing. From all the bullshit they gave you in kindergarten, preschool, high school, and furthermore, if you went through academia, then you are triple screwed. And if you engage in any kind of activity that has a very specific way of achieving success, then you have been severely, severely programmed.

I managed to understand where I have been shaped by propaganda and how to get out of certain parts. I still find that there were things that were severely conditioned in me. So again, the question is how to rebuild, this is a time of creation. The fourth turning is here, but you do not wait until the last day; you start rebuilding already, too many distractions? Well, some discipline, for Christ’s sake.

Why do people want to wait until the last building falls before acting? Because they previously ignored the signs; that is why others have made radical changes and are now planting seeds elsewhere.

One thing that I do, because my body has asked me to, is to stand objectively at the tower or mountain view. Just observe, annotate, breathe. Do not think, do not analyze, do not judge; just absorb. Thank God for my variables. I have three rights and one left, PRL DRR.

This combination means having a focused, logical, and forward-thinking mindset paired with a body that thrives on a go-with-the-flow, laid-back, and intuitive lifestyle.

I am ingesting information, but not in a homework or frenetic way. I am just picking things up, sleeping a lot, processing in the background.

I turned to sleep as a way of reestablishing a connection to my body. It has been really cold in Miami. I do not remember having freezing temperatures since I moved here, but it is what it is, so I have used the time to cocoon and sleep. Thank God for sleep.

I am also rereading Aristotle, who always gives me so much inspiration about ethics and about the difference between practicing virtues for excellence and mentally masturbating with postmodern ideas that are good only for indoctrination and have no practical function in society whatsoever. You can see that right now, heavily. Ask any pop star or protester. Eye-roll emoji.

A quality of observation

Aquarius time carries a quality of observation that asks for distance and perspective, where there is no rush to calculate outcomes or predict results, but rather a need to reassess everything from a wider field of awareness. It is a moment to see how networks are connected, how systems speak to one another, and how meaning emerges through relationships rather than isolated acts. From an evolutionary astrology perspective, this is a phase where orientation comes through perception, through sensing the whole landscape before taking any step that becomes personal or emotional. Individual positioning clarifies once the web is visible, once the connections are understood, and responsibility is grounded in awareness of how everything relates to everything else. Then one steps into the field to contribute.

It is interesting to watch that the structures that have fallen are the ones completely made by the fiat standard and all its ideas of achievement, reputation, honor, and linear advancement. With social media breaking down, because it has collapsed, you do not even know who is talking to you anymore, whether it is a person or a bot or something preprogrammed. Images are altered. Everything is a script. There is no real talent out there, to be honest. Where is the charisma. Where is the reality. Everything is fabrication.

Because you can see through it so much right now, it is just a joke; it is a joke to even want to participate in this level of people with titles and so-called achievements that say more about the process of becoming indoctrinated than about what they actually did to become liberated. And so it is hilarious, and Aquarius is all about observing that.

I have a good sense of humor, so I am just having fun watching everything implode, everything implodes slowly, it takes time before it dissolves into nothingness. And then from there, little seeds can sprout into something completely different. I have no idea what that new thing will be, but it is definitely not going to be standing on columns of stupidity.

The fourth turning gives way to creativity, and it helps to remember that it is a cycle within a cycle, roughly eighty-three years nested inside larger and smaller rhythms that are always relational rather than absolute. No single framework, fourth turning included, gets to be the final authority, because orientation comes from understanding where one stands within overlapping cycles rather than submitting to a single narrative. From this perspective, what is ending now are systems that lost their reason for being, structures that continued to operate without remembering why they existed in the first place. Economics, institutions, and reputational hierarchies built after Bretton Woods in 1944 are clearly giving way to something else, whether one participates consciously or waits passively for the announcement that compliance has exchanged autonomy for comfort.

Where am I standing now? I am in the tower, observing, creatively, I have been clearing a lot of things I no longer need, and at the same time I have started new things that I am not disclosing; for it is an intimate rebuilding moment, not a time for broadcasting. I am only interested in sharing how I am observing.

I am an observer, and at the same time I am a creator, but I do not disclose the creative work until it is sculpted, speaking too early can jinx the process.

For Aristotle, societies do not crumble because of external shocks, but because they lose telos, their shared orientation toward the good. A polis exists for more than survival, exchange, or administration; it exists to cultivate eudaimonia, human flourishing, through virtue. When honor, wealth, reputation, or power replace virtue as organizing principles, the structure hollows out from within. Means are mistaken for ends, technique replaces purpose, and coherence gives way to factionalism, imitation without substance, and instability. Aristotle ties this directly to education and character, insisting that laws alone cannot sustain a society that no longer forms its citizens ethically. Without shared cultivation of virtue, action is driven by appetite, comparison, and ambition rather than reasoned choice, producing excess, and imbalance rather than a meaningful common life.

Genius, innovator

I also want to name one of the greatest minds/souls born in the last century, an Aquarian soul, someone still alive, lucid, and creating at ninety-six. Alejandro Jodorowsky has always understood transformation as something that must be embodied. His work never separated art, healing, and initiation, because he knew that consciousness does not reorganize through theory alone. Through Psychomagic and his revival of the Tarot de Marseille, he treated symbols as living structures capable of reorienting the psyche. Often labeled as cult, his films were never marginal in intent; they were initiatory. As an Aquarius, his contribution belongs to the lineage of those who dismantle inherited forms so something genuinely alive can emerge.

In his natal chart, the South Node in Scorpio conjunct Juno points to deep karmic familiarity with the underworld, taboo knowledge, and intense bonds. The skipped-step dynamic involving the Aquarius Sun and Pisces Pallas Athena reveals an evolutionary necessity to translate that depth into vision, symbolism, and collective meaning, rather than remaining trapped in personal or relational intensity. Neptune at 0 degrees of Virgo also a skipped step with the nodes, acts as a threshold, dissolving boundaries between psyche and body, myth and healing. This is where psychomagic1 is present as precise intervention, where transcendence enters form through concrete acts and symbols.

His Gemini Moon and Mars emphasize the trickster mind, the storyteller, the provocateur, using language, images, and paradox to destabilize fixed meanings and invite participation. The Jupiter–Chiron conjunction in Taurus grounds the entire chart in healing and value, insisting that transformation must be fully embodied. A Pluto in Cancer soul, squaring Venus in Aries and Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn, the soul theme centers on transforming inherited emotional patterns and collective fear into creative courage and radical authenticity. There is a lifelong tension between vulnerability and authority, instinct and imposed structure, which explains his insistence on breaking psychic conditioning through art, ritual, and symbolic shock that awakens rather than comforts.

Wishing you fantastic Aquarian days...

1

A symbolic healing practice developed by Alejandro Jodorowsky that uses precise, poetic acts to address unconscious conflicts. Psychomagic operates on the premise that the psyche responds more directly to symbol, gesture, and ritual than to rational explanation alone. Rather than analyzing trauma, it stages an intentional act that speaks the language of the unconscious, allowing emotional patterns, inherited imprints, and internalized narratives to be released or reconfigured through lived experience.

I AM OPTIMIST ON FOUNTAIN.FM !!!

In equilibrium-as-a-process, the law of harmonics says what goes up must come down, and there are periods of harmonizing the wavelength to find equilibrium. Price doesn't move in straight lines, it breathes.

Let’s look at the charts: December 2024, then April 2025, and now October 6 to January 31st.

What do you see?

Just look at the curves.

Look at the patterns.

The shapes repeat because psychology fluctuates, From December’s high around 109k, price dropped to 74k by April 7, 2025. Now from October’s high near 125k, we’re at 77k. A 300 days separation between these two lows; Coincidence? time cycles.

Yes, futures and derivatives have sequestered the markets as the US dollar struggles (or is manipulated to struggle) to be kept as the main trading currency. We are no longer in Bretton Woods, nor post-Nixon shock. We’re at the completion of a full 82-year cycle: July 1944 (Bretton Woods) to July 2026.

That’s a complete generational reset. The monetary system established in 1944 survived Nixon closing the gold window in 1971 (27 years), then operated as a pure fiat petrodollar for another 55 years. Now, 82 years from its inception, the architecture is crumbling as gold, bitcoin, and treasuries compete for reserve status outside the traditional banking system.

This past year the Trump government has done everything possible to derail the economic structure to a place where crypto, metals, bitcoin and treasuries all mix up in a race to raise more sound money.

In Gann’s cycle work:

• 82-84 years = 3 generations (generational memory cycle)

• 82 years = ~30,000 days (significant square root number)

• Square root of 82 = 9.05 (close to Ichimoku’s 9-period Tenkan)

I’ve been tracking how Bitcoin moves according to natural law. Venus harmonics, Mars cycles, the 8-year pentagram return. Gann’s core teaching was that markets are governed by time cycles repeating with mathematical precision, and the mass public always gets shaken out at critical turning points. What Tether represents institutional infrastructure being built during a cycle shakeout that planetary timing predicted.

Gann warned about the difference between those who understand natural cycles and those who trade on leverage and emotion. Panics every 7 years, “jubilee” extremes at the 49th-50th year, and his rule that “nothing can stop the trend as long as the Time Cycle shows an up-trend” all point to the same truth: leveraged players get destroyed at mathematically predetermined moments »» those who hold the real asset survive.

Bitcoin was born during a Venus Aries-Pisces retrograde in 2009, a cycle that returns every 8 years. Tether was founded in 2014, right at the midpoint of that first pentagram cycle. By the second 8-year return in 2017, it had become the dominant on-ramp. Now in 2025, at a critical harmonic convergence zone I’ve been tracking, Tether has quietly become a sovereign-scale financial entity. The timing is perfect.

Gann taught that every market movement is the result of natural law, and that the future is but a repetition of the past. The cycles don’t just move price, they move the architecture around price, while the planetary harmonics shake out the leveraged, the infrastructure of the next cycle is being built in plain sight.

The Shadow Banking Revolution

this what is happening now: while bitcoin volatility shakes out the leveraged players, the real architectural shift is happening in plain sight.

Tether—the issuer of USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin—just reported its 2025 financials:

• $141 billion in US Treasuries (17th largest holder globally, ahead of South Korea)

• 140 tons of physical gold ($17.4 billion) in Swiss vaults (largest private holder on earth)

• 96,000 bitcoin ($8.4 billion) - top 5 global holder

• Against these reserves: $186.5 billion in USDT issued

This is the new GAME: Shadow central banking. $500M monthly profit from Treasury yields, 0% paid to users. Hedging dollar debasement (gold + bitcoin) while being a top US debt holder.

The problem: If the hardest money of all—bitcoin—has been issued in paper, and you do not hold keys to your coins, you are being played. Those who borrowed at 120k face margin calls at 77k » Paper bitcoin evaporates + owning your own keys to your bitcoin remains.

This Week: Weekly Cloud Breakdown

The weekly chart confirmed possible bear market entry.

Current structure (February 2026):

• Price: 79k (below cloud)

• First weekly cloud breakdown in 763 days (since March 2023)

• Chikou Span: trapped inside cloud

• If Chikou drops below cloud in next 1-2 weeks → bear market mathematically confirmed

March-April 2025 parallel:

• Price dropped to 74k

• Chikou stayed inside cloud (hesitation)

• Recovery took weeks

• Accumulation phase began

Critical support: 71.2k-79k cluster (0.382 Fibonacci retracement)

Volume analysis: Weekly volume only 32% of average (4.96K vs 15.63K MA). Daily volume 173% of average. Divergence = short-term traders active, long-term holders waiting.

Low volume breakdown means: Either exhaustion (weak hands shaken) or indecision (waiting for confirmation).

But Zoom Out

Monthly chart and 3 week chart: still bullish, the price above the monthly cloud + Chikou Span above major support.

Context:

• Weekly: First breakdown in 763 days (short-term bearish)

• Daily: 25% correction

• Monthly: Still above cloud (macro trend intact)

If weekly Chikou drops below cloud in 1-2 weeks → bear confirmation. Until then: equilibrium seeking balance between 71k-79k support and 96k cloud resistance.

4. Accumulation Strategy

In the Meantime

Keep stacking. Don’t you want more bitcoin?

Bear markets = accumulation phases.

What TO do:

• Study more (less emotion at lower prices)

• Accumulate more sats per dollar

• DCA strategy (weekly/monthly buying)

• Build position for next cycle

What NOT to do:

• ❌ Borrow against bitcoin (margin calls)

• ❌ Leverage trading

• ❌ Panic sell

• ❌ Listen to social media FUD

• ❌ Trust paper bitcoin (exchanges = database entries)

We were here at 74k 300 days ago.

Volatility compression each cycle:

• 108k → 19k (March 2023): 82% drawdown

• 108k → 74k (April 2025): 31% drawdown

• 125k → 77k (now): 38% drawdown

While Tether stockpiles 140 tons gold + 96k bitcoin, retail panics. Institutional players building positions. Are you?

Time Will Tell

300 days ago1: 74k. Today: 79k. The cycle memory is precise.

Monthly: bullish. Weekly: first breakdown in 763 days. Daily: consolidating 71k-79k.

Three timeframes - Three stories - One truth: Equilibrium is a process, not a destination.

Markets oscillate—finding balance between fear and greed, paper and physical, hope and mathematics.

If you understand this: you prepare.

If you don’t: you’re trading emotions.

The numbers just harmonize.

Time will tell.
