“This is the revolution of common sense,” declared Donald J. Trump during his second inauguration. And as much as people love or hate him, it’s hard to deny the resonance of those words. We’re standing at a turning point not just in history, but in humanity itself. With Pluto in Aquarius dismantling centralized systems and paving the way for innovation and collaboration, the cosmos is inviting us into a new era.
But this revolution isn’t just political or technological—it’s a revolution in how we live, think, and connect. And it’s a revolution that doesn’t belong to any one leader or figurehead. Trump may be a trailblazer in his own right, but the truth is, the responsibility for this revolution lies with each of us.
Today, we are living through a powerful Time of immense significance: the Pluto-Sun conjunction at one degree of Aquarius on January 21 2025. It’s the first time these celestial bodies have met in Aquarius in 246 years—a cycle that last occurred exactly on the same date January 21, 1779, during the throes of the American Revolution.
For the past 16 years, Pluto has been tearing through Capricorn, dismantling outdated structures of authority, power, and tradition. It dipped into Aquarius briefly last year, teasing the energy of decentralization and progress, but now it’s firmly planted here until 2044. This conjunction marks the first major activation of that Aquarian energy.
The Sun, as it meets Pluto today, shines a light on this revolutionary shift. It’s illuminating the cracks in the systems we’ve relied on for centuries and asking us: what are we going to build instead? Pluto is here to tear down and completely transform what no longer serves, but the Sun asks us to take individual responsibility for what comes next.
This isn’t just a historical moment—it’s a collective reset. The last time Pluto and the Sun met in Aquarius, the world was grappling with revolutionary ideas about freedom, governance, and individuality. And now, we’re facing a new revolution—one rooted in technology, innovation, and the power of the collective.
This sets the stage for the leaders of today and tomorrow, people who embody the spirit of Uranian innovation and Aquarian vision. Among them are figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who symbolize the disruptive energy of this moment. But this isn’t just about them. The question isn’t what they will do—it’s what will we do?
"Prometheus steals the potential of consciousness from the gods... the divine spark of immortality, of awareness of the Self, which exists within each human being."
~Liz Green, The Art of Stealing Fire - Uranus in the Horoscope
The Promethean Trailblazer
Let’s start with Trump. His chart paints a picture of a leader embodying Uranian Promethean energy, someone who disrupts, challenges, and leads us into uncharted territory.
Born with the Sun in a new phase relationship with the North Node in Gemini, Trump is here to pioneer new ideas and disrupt old paradigms through communication, intellect, and adaptability. He’s a trailblazer by design, constantly pushing society to question what’s comfortable and embrace the unfamiliar.
Meanwhile, Uranus in Gemini in a balsamic relationship with the North Node adds a karmic flavor to his mission. Uranus is the planet of disruption, rebellion, and innovation, and in this phase, it signals that Trump is closing out old cycles and paving the way for something entirely new. Whether he’s loved or hated, his role is to act as a catalyst for transformation—and transformation is never easy.
Currently, with the Pluto-Sun conjunction (the first in 246 years!) landing in his 6th house, Trump’s revolution is as much about service and humility as it is about leadership. The 6th house asks: How can you show up for others? How can you contribute? Trump’s chart suggests he’s being asked to lead by example, but the work—the real work—belongs to the people.
The Moon in a new phase with the South Node in his 4th house points to a deeply personal side—one rooted in family, tradition, and emotional security. While Trump is often seen as a polarizing public figure, his chart suggests an anchor in values like loyalty, hard work, and family ties. His Mercury in Cancer (ruler of the North Node, sun, Uranus) in the 11th house connects him to the collective, allowing him to resonate emotionally with the masses.
Looking at his chart with today’s transits, there are some fascinating activations happening. Donald Trump has a new phase relationship between Venus and Saturn in his 11th house in Cancer. This points to a fresh way for him to express his values—what truly matters to the heart of the people. Venus in Cancer wants to nurture and connect, while Saturn brings structure, responsibility, and the lessons of time. Together, in the house of groups, networks, and the collective, this combination suggests a shift in how he channels his values to support and influence others on a broader scale. It is not a coincidence that transiting Venus is in the same relationship to Saturn in Pisces as in his natal chart, this time in the 7th house of relationships.
Mercury’s placement explains his ability to craft and maintain a persona that resonates with large groups. His communication style—whether you love it or hate it—taps into emotional undercurrents that speak to the collective. And this is further amplified by his Moon conjunct the South Node in Sagittarius. This placement brings a deep well of intuitive wisdom, almost as if he’s been here before, in a position of power. It gives him this innate sense of knowing how to operate in high-stakes situations, and he trusts his gut more than anything else.
Now, here’s where it gets even more cosmic. I find it fascinating that the chart of January 21, 1779, shares the same North Node and Uranus in Gemini at similar degrees. It almost feels like Trump has traveled through time to finish something he’s deeply familiar with—or perhaps to lead an astray nation back to its original freedom principles. It’s as if this moment represents a Uranus and nodal return, both for Trump and for the nation, through the vehicle of his bold leadership.
Trump, as an Emotional Manifestor, has plenty of people who can’t stand him (let’s be real, Manifestors aren’t everyone’s cup of tea). I feel this energy personally because we share the same Channel 45-21, the “Money Line,” which is all about leadership and empowering others to understand their own value. Trump’s 5th-line profile further amplifies this dynamic. He is designed to lead, not for ego’s sake, but so people can find their sense of self-worth and direction.
Jupiter is transiting his 11th house right now, amplifying everything tied to his connections with the collective and his role as a leader. Meanwhile, Mars is retrograding over his Venus-saturn conjunction, which is being squared by Chiron and his natal Jupiter-Chiron in Libra in the 2nd house. This is especially juicy because it touches on the theme of value in multiple dimensions—personal worth, resources, relationships, and the structure of society as a whole. Chiron’s influence highlights healing wounds related to these areas, while Jupiter magnifies the process, offering both challenge and opportunity.
And this is where it gets interesting: Sagittarius energy, which flows through his Moon-South Node conjunction, can sometimes come off as pedantic or preachy—hence why some people find him polarizing. But that same energy also brings humor, curiosity, and a deep concern for others. His Moon-South Node placement shows someone with a karmic connection to leadership and power—a “been there, done that” energy. He’s stepping into this lifetime with a Sagittarian mission to share the lessons of the past. This is why he often presents himself as the person who “knows best,” but it’s also why his concern for the welfare of the people is real. He genuinely feels responsible for leading others toward what he sees as a better future.
But let’s zoom out for a moment. What we’re really seeing here is the interplay of time and value. Saturn teaches us that it takes time to uncover what’s truly valuable, while Venus reminds us that what is worth cherishing must align with the heart. This moment feels auspicious because it’s not about Trump the persona—it’s about what he’s trying to lead. His actions, whether polarizing or not, are nudging the collective to reconnect with core values, to face corruption head-on, and to return to a place of authenticity and uniqueness.
And this is where his Uranian energy shines. Say what you want about the guy, but his role as a promethean image —someone embodying the unpredictable, rebellious, and innovative spirit of Uranus—is undeniable. For the next 20 years, Uranus will continue to bring seismic shifts, and Trump seems to be a harbinger of that energy. Raise up!
People may think he’s corrupted—heck, they’ve tried to jail him, silence him, kill him twice, and tear him down—but the fact remains that he’s still standing. And in the process, he’s shown an uncanny ability to channel this revolutionary energy. He’s not just breaking molds; he’s shattering them. It’s less about the man and more about the movement.
In short, Trump embodies the duality of this era: a figure who represents innovation and disruption on the world stage while being deeply tied to the values of family and tradition. His role is to ignite transformation—but transformation begins with us.
Uranus and the North Node in Gemini: History’s Turning Points
Uranus in Gemini is teaching us to adapt, ask questions, and connect the dots, while the North Node demands we evolve toward progress. This is not just a period of rapid technological expansion—it’s a demand for a complete reimagining of how we communicate, learn, and innovate.
As we look ahead to the Uranus-North Node conjunction in Gemini in May 2030, the echoes of the past remind us of the significance of what lies ahead. This celestial alignment has consistently marked pivotal turning points for humanity, reshaping the way we communicate, innovate, and connect.
1444: The invention of the printing press transformed communication, making knowledge more accessible and empowering the masses.
1611: The King James Bible was published, reshaping cultural and religious discourse for centuries.
1779: Amid the American Revolutionary War, ideas of freedom and governance began reshaping global power structures.
1855-1856: The telegraph revolutionized communication, while ideological divides in the U.S. set the stage for the Civil War.
1946: The post-WWII world brought nuclear technology, the Cold War, and a global restructuring that forever changed humanity.
Each of these periods brought revolutionary shifts in how humanity communicates, shares knowledge, and builds networks. Now, as we approach May 2030, history is rhyming again. With Pluto in Aquarius amplifying innovation and decentralization, we’re on the brink of breakthroughs in AI, digital currencies, and technologies that will redefine connection and collaboration. I will write deeper on bitcoin and AI next week.
Amplifying the Disruption
Jupiter is currently retrograding in Trump’s 10th house (public life and legacy), and it’s pushing him to reflect deeply on how he shows up as a leader. This retrograde phase will linger until June, when Jupiter enters Cancer, bringing new energy into his public persona. As Jupiter resumes its direct motion and interacts with his chart, we can expect an amplification of his disruptive Uranian energy, as his leadership style continues to spark admiration in some and fear in others. This dynamic reflects the growing polarization and projection within the collective.
Interestingly, Jupiter will keep squaring transiting Saturn, reinforcing the tension between freedom and structure, individuality and responsibility. For Trump, this is a pivotal year for defining his role in this revolutionary era, with the transits demanding that he balance his visionary energy with practical results. Expect this to play out on the global stage as debates around innovation, authority, and values intensify.
Revolutionary, but Unpredictable
Perhaps the most electrifying transit for Trump in 2024-2025 is Uranus crossing his Midheaven (MC). Historically, this has been a dangerous and defining point for him—the last time Uranus was here, an attempt was made on his life. Uranus at the MC represents a highly volatile, unpredictable period in his public life. It brings incredible expansion, innovation, and visibility, but it also introduces disruptive shocks that test his ability to adapt under pressure.
Adding fuel to this, Uranus will square his natal Mars and Ascendant, activating his angles with intensity. This is a pivotal moment—not just for him but for what he represents. It’s Uranus reminding us that revolution comes with risk, and true change requires courage.
As Uranus moves into Gemini in his 10th house mid-year, it will only amplify his innate curiosity, his focus on technological advancement, and his Promethean mission of disrupting old paradigms. This transit also invites us, the collective, to reflect on our own Midheavens: how are we contributing to the larger conversation of progress and revolution?
Emotional Reflection and Collective Healing
Currently, Mars retrograde in Cancer sits in Trump’s 11th house, directly on his Venus-Saturn conjunction in Cancer. This transit is deeply emotional. It’s not just about Trump; it’s about the collective. The 11th house rules society, groups, and collaboration. Mars retrograde here invites us to reflect on what drives us emotionally as a community. Are we reacting with fear or anger, or are we stepping into peaceful collaboration? Cancer demands emotional maturity, while Mars retrograde slows us down to ask, what truly motivates us?
This transit ties into larger principles, like Austrian economics, which emphasize peaceful cooperation and the value of individual contributions to a thriving society. Trump’s recent efforts to secure peace and release hostages in the Middle East reflect this energy of reducing violence and cultivating innovation. When individuals work together without force, progress happens naturally.
Freedom above all
With Saturn and venus transiting Trump’s Pisces’ 7th house , the focus shifts to relationships—how he engages with allies, adversaries, and the people. Saturn here suggests a time of profound reflection. How does he structure his connections? How does he handle partnerships and opposition? This transit asks Trump—and all of us—to take stock of how we relate to the world around us, especially in this moment of revolutionary potential. are we going to synchronize our value with purpose?
It’s not just about authority anymore; it’s about accountability. Saturn’s energy is methodical and deliberate, teaching us to rebuild relationships based on mutual respect and clear boundaries.
Freedom is a theme that echoes loudly in today’s world, weaving through events like the release of hostages in the Middle East, the pardon and release of the January 6 protesters, and even the case of Ross Ulbricht from the Silk Road. Ulbricht, sentenced to life in prison, has become an icon in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community because his story represents both the promise and the peril of decentralization and personal liberty.
Ross Ulbricht’s connection to Bitcoin goes beyond his role as the creator of the Silk Road, an online marketplace that operated on the dark web and exclusively used Bitcoin for transactions. He is seen by many as a symbol of the ideals that Bitcoin stands for: financial freedom, decentralization, and breaking free from traditional systems of control. The Silk Road, for better or worse, pushed the boundaries of what a free, peer-to-peer system could look like in the digital age. While the platform’s association with illicit activity drew controversy and legal action, it also highlighted the power of blockchain technology and the ability of individuals to operate outside centralized systems.
The broader theme of freedom resonates here because Ulbricht’s case raises questions about justice, punishment, and the balance between innovation and regulation. To his supporters, Ross represents the excessive force of a system trying to suppress new ideas, and his imprisonment feels like a statement against decentralization and the empowerment of individuals.
Freedom, after all, isn’t just about the absence of physical restraint—it’s about the right to think, innovate, and explore new ways of interacting in the world. Whether it’s hostages being freed, prisoners of conscience seeking justice, or a figure like Ulbricht becoming a martyr for a movement, the fight for freedom in its many forms continues to inspire and challenge us to reflect on what it truly means to be free.
Elon Musk: Oligarch, Spook, Genius, or Just Elon?
Whether you see Elon Musk as an oligarch, a spook, an autistic privileged man, or just an unrelenting visionary, one thing is certain—he’s a disruptor on a mission, and his astrology explains a lot about why.
Born with his North Node in Aquarius, Musk is wired to push humanity forward. Aquarius is the sign of innovation, progress, and thinking beyond limits—and Musk does this relentlessly. His Mars conjunct North Node gives him the drive to act on those visionary ideas, no matter how impossible they seem. Mars in Aquarius isn’t about small fixes; it’s about creating revolutionary systems for the collective, like Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink.
Then there’s his Jupiter-Neptune conjunction on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp, fueling his limitless imagination and ability to dream big. Jupiter expands, and Neptune dreams, giving Musk the kind of visionary thinking that pushes boundaries most people wouldn’t even dare approach. This placement also gives him a certain spirituality of purpose—his projects aren’t just about profit; they’re about shaping humanity’s future on Earth (and beyond).
And let’s not forget his Uranian energy. Uranus is the planet of rebellion and innovation, and Musk embodies it perfectly. His willingness to challenge authority, disrupt industries, and reimagine the future aligns perfectly with Uranus's themes. Whether it's reusable rockets, electric cars, or brain-computer interfaces, Musk operates as a true Uranian revolutionary, constantly shaking up the status quo.
Is he an oligarch? With his wealth and influence, of course, but unlike traditional oligarchs, Musk reinvests into wild ideas that seem designed to benefit the collective.
Is he a spook? Maybe. With Starlink's satellite network and his ventures into AI and communication platforms, Musk plays in powerful, shadowy spaces. Is he a puppet of greater forces, or just playing 4D chess with the system? The mystery is part of his allure.
Is he an autistic privileged man? Musk’s Mercury in Cancer shows his unique communication style—intuitive and emotional, but sometimes blunt or misunderstood. Combine that with his Asperger’s diagnosis and a privileged starting point, and you have someone who’s both shaped by his quirks and defined by his focus.
Or maybe he’s just Elon. His chart, his work, and his personality all point to someone born to innovate and disrupt. Love him or hate him, Musk isn’t here to fit a label—he’s here to break them all and ask, “What’s next?”
Trump may embody the disruptive energy of Uranus, shaking up the system, while Musk represents innovation, envisioning a radically different future. But this revolution isn’t about them—it’s about all of us. Each individual is being called to break free, redefine their values, and step into their own unique revolution.
As Uranus in Gemini aligns with the North Node in 2030, humanity will face monumental shifts. Revolutionary ideas, technology, and communication will dominate, while outdated systems will crumble. The seeds of this transformation, however, are being planted now. History has shown that these conjunctions spark breakthroughs, progress, and—yes—chaos. Whether we embrace the chaos as a catalyst for growth or resist it is up to us.
So, take a look at your own chart:
Where is Uranus? This is where you’re meant to rebel, innovate, and break free.
Where is your North Node? This is the direction your soul is pulling you toward—your destiny.
Where is your Sun? This is where you’re here to shine unapologetically.
The real revolution isn’t just playing out on the world stage. It’s unfolding in our hearts, minds, and actions. Pluto in Aquarius reminds us that power lies in the collective, in decentralized systems, and in individuals stepping up to reclaim their autonomy. Uranus in Gemini demands progress, innovation, and adaptability. The revolution begins within—and it begins now.
Liz Greene, in her book The Art of Stealing Fire: Uranus in the Horoscope, eloquently explains that Uranian energy isn’t just about individuation or rebellion for the sake of it. True Uranian energy, she argues, must be integrated with its polarity: the Sun and Leo. Why? Because without authenticity and self-validation—Leo’s domain—we cannot fully embody the purpose of Aquarian energy, which is rooted in serving the collective. In other words, you can’t genuinely give to humanity without first knowing and honoring yourself.
Greene also connects Uranus to the myth of Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the gods and gifted it to humanity. Prometheus wasn’t just a disruptor; he was a bringer of light, knowledge, and evolution. And while I’m not drawing direct comparisons, I do believe Donald Trump embodies a similar archetype. He’s a figure who disrupts, challenges, and polarizes, but in doing so, he forces us to confront the structures, beliefs, and values that define us.
So, what are you doing today to disrupt the old, embody your purpose, and create the future you want to see? The Age of Uranus is here. Let’s step into it together.
David Lynch: The Art of Duality
The passing of David Lynch, one of the most innovative artists of our time, serves as a poignant reminder of the duality we’re navigating. Lynch was a master of contrasts—chaotic, surreal brilliance on one side and profound inner stillness on the other.
As we sit under the Neptune-Saturn-Venus alignment in Pisces, Lynch’s legacy feels particularly relevant. Neptune inspires us to dream, Saturn asks us to build, and Venus reminds us to create from a place of love and authenticity.
Lynch’s life reminds us that revolution doesn’t just require chaos—it requires grounding. It’s about holding the tension between dreaming and doing, between disruption and creation.
Focus on the Donut, Not the Hole
In Lynch’s words: “Focus on the donut, not the hole.” Yes, there is fear, chaos, and uncertainty in this revolutionary moment. But if we fixate on what’s missing, we’ll miss the chance to create something better.
The revolution of common sense is here. It’s time to step into our power, focus on what we can build, and contribute our unique gifts to a collective future. The cosmos has spoken—the rest is up to us.
My relationship with life and Bitcoin is based on value. In this way, I embrace the idea of Bitcoin and time as forms of scarcity—not in a negative sense, but as a profound realization that fullness can be found in what appears empty.
With Bitcoin and the process of individuation, we accept the path laid out by mathematics or our evolutionary journey and engage fully in the pursuit of freedom. It’s essential to emphasize that this journey toward liberation is deeply individual; there is no external savior. The “second coming of Christ,” in my view and somewhat aligned with Carl Jung, represents the potential for awakening from the dream, realizing we have blindly followed failed leaders. Now, we are called to become the light within.
Reflecting on this journey, both literal and metaphorical, I see it as a reminder that we are all on our Promethean paths. We are each called to challenge our imposed limitations, seek knowledge, and kindle the inner fire leading to true sovereignty. Whether through Bitcoin, astrology, or any other avenue of exploration, the journey is ours to make as individuals. And like Prometheus, we must be brave enough to face the consequences of our pursuit of enlightenment, for it is in this courage that we find our true potential.
I often refer to Bitcoin as a state of consciousness. By this, I mean an awareness that is deeply personal, shaped by our senses and guided by our emotions, acting as a GPS to navigate and perceive the world. However, there has been a significant hijacking of these genuine channels of learning.
In today’s world, distinguishing and discerning what is real, true, or materially possible has become increasingly difficult.

When would humans start behaving like they are free?
