The Night of Resonance
This New Year’s Eve was exceptional. My dear friend, Efrat, invited me to Michael Saylor’s 100K Bitcoin party—a milestone for those who understand the significance of Bitcoin’s potential as a transformative force. Being in that space, surrounded by individuals who value freedom and innovation, was not just a celebration but a declaration of alignment with the evolving paradigms I deeply subscribe to.
This evening affirmed my commitment for 2025 to serve as a bridge between frameworks. Whether through my Public Art Commissioned work, my writings, my voice, or my ongoing advocacy for Bitcoin/Austrian economics, I intend to synthesize knowledge across disciplines and inspire others to seek clarity and authenticity. The journey isn’t about imposing ideas but expanding the educational dialogue around Bitcoin, connecting the dots between individual sovereignty, community, and evolution. This is not just about money—it is about a state of consciousness.
As I step into 2025, I’m aware of the profound shifts shaping our collective and individual paths. We’re in the midst of a revision. Since Neptune entered Pisces in 2011, it has been dissolving the rigid structures of the past, asking us to surrender to the unknown. Saturn’s arrival in Pisces in March 2023 has intensified this call for dissolution and transformation.
Now, with the North Node conjunct Neptune, Saturn in Pisces, and Venus having just entered the same sign, we are being called to refine and align as we prepare for a new era ahead. Our reality will first be dissolved and then reshaped into something that mirrors our individuality. By July 2026, this transition marks a kind of rehearsal dinner, preparing us for the full embrace of the Age of Aquarius, as by then all the outer planets will have shifted into new signs.
The reason I’m so compelled to write about Pisces and Virgo is because, in my natal chart, Uranus and Pluto are together in the sign of Virgo. I’m part of that generation of the 1960s that carries the imprint of dissolving trauma and doing something transformative with it. In my case, I serve as a vessel to bring back the idea of service through transformation and evolution. My natal Saturn and Chiron oppose these two planets, creating a dynamic tension. Saturn in early Pisces, opposing my Uranus, is helping me reshape my reality—not through drowning in suffering and disillusionment, but by creating an abundance of form via discernment. I’m going to speak more about my Chiron in the following article, as it will be part of the premise.
The themes explored in this article reflect not only my personal journey but also the collective transformation we are all navigating. In a beautifully choreographed motion, several key astrological events will align in early 2025, supporting us as we step into accountability and courage. This shift coincides with the nodal axis transitioning from the South Node in Libra and the North Node in Aries to the Pisces/Virgo axis—the primary focus of this article.
This is a time of alignment and inquiry, inviting us to reflect, dissolve old patterns, and create meaning from what emerges. I will also delve deeper into the Human Design gates and their insights for 2025-26, exploring these themes as they relate to the bigger picture.
If you’ve been looking at the news or following the narratives around you, you may have noticed the overwhelming number of distortions and conflicting information. If you haven’t noticed, it’s even more important to start questioning—once, twice, or even three times. “Don’t trust, verify” should be your guiding motto right now.
The pace of confusion is accelerating so much that by the time you try to make sense of something, it may already be over. This is why grounding in your body, instincts, and emotional clarity is non-negotiable. Speaking from personal experience, nine years ago I went through an intense period of confusion. I didn’t know where to turn or what to trust. But that experience taught me a valuable lesson: when you are in tune with your body, when you trust your instincts and honor your emotional wave, you have an internal compass that won’t lead you astray. It becomes an asset—a way to navigate the chaos with confidence and clarity.
INTENTION + ATTENTION = PRESENCE
If you feel compelled to explore these themes more deeply, I invite you to reconnect with me through an Evolutionary astrological and Human Design reading, mentoring, or to become part of study group [deciphering] that I’m about to launch. I’ll have more information about it in the next week.
With my transpersonal cross of alignment, my mission is to provide life with meaning and meet the needs of the community while honoring my individuality. I carefully and realistically assess my means and resources to ensure my generosity is not taken advantage of. I adapt to unexpected situations with a willingness to take risks and confront with courage the meaning of life.
I am gifted with a natural kind of attentiveness that enables me to put my resources at people’s disposal to help them meet challenges and risks and discover their individual meaning of life. My goal is to secure the needs of the community while staying true to my individual character and personal demands.
However, my only condition is this: if you choose to engage with me, you must take responsibility for your actions.
At times, my experiences remind me that temporary retreat is necessary to maintain objectivity and regain strength. When I do, I surrender to superior forces but only long enough to restore my powers and return with clarity. This life purpose allows me to support others during transitions, helping them realign and tap into their abundance through my care and attentiveness.
I’m here to serve as a potential bridge to help you realign and navigate these transformative times.
Returning to the source of self. Venus star point.
In 2017, Venus retrograded from Aries into Pisces, illuminating themes of self-worth and essential needs. For me, it activated my second house, and I made decisions that neglected my well-being in favor of others. That period taught me a lesson I carry to this day: never to abandon myself for anything or anyone, no matter what.
This year, Venus retrogrades again at almost the same degrees to the same star point in 20171. This time, the North Node will be conjunct Neptune, Saturn, and Mercury in Pisces. Interestingly, in 2017, the South Node of the Moon was in Pisces, creating a fascinating contrast. This alignment invites you to forgive, refine, and realign with your higher self and your sense of All That Is.
For me, it’s a chance to honor the commitments I made in 2017 and deepen my devotion to self-loyalty and discernment. I encourage you to reflect on what happened between late 2016 and 2017. This year is going to mirror the decisions—or lack of decisions—you made back then. If you struggled with boundaries, discernment, or self-awareness during that time, this is your opportunity to revisit those lessons and align with a stronger sense of self.
Mercury will retrograde in Aries and Pisces from March 15 to April 7, starting at 9° Aries, overlapping with Venus retrograde, which begins on March 1 at 10° Aries and ends on April 12 at 24° Pisces.
A final Aries solar eclipse on March 29 at 9° Aries will mark a critical moment for change or significant developments, particularly for those with cardinal placements near this degree (the same degree as the retrograde station). Meanwhile, a Virgo lunar eclipse on March 13 will emphasize discernment and grounding, creating a balance between emotional processing and practical action. (More on the eclipses later.)
The following alignments further amplify the transformative energy:
Neptune Conjunct Lunar North Node – February 7, 2025
Mercury Conjunct Venus – March 11, 2025
Venus Conjunct Neptune – March 27, 2025
Mercury Conjunct Neptune – March 29, 2025
Venus Conjunct Lunar North Node – April 1, 2025
Mercury Conjunct Lunar North Node – April 4, 2025
Venus Conjunct Saturn – April 7, 2025
Mercury Conjunct Saturn – April 20, 2025
Saturn Conjunct Lunar North Node – April 21, 2025
These alignments will sextile Uranus in Taurus and occur with Mars already direct in Cancer making a trine.(More on that later).
These retrogrades and conjunctions focus on self-reflection, communication, and value refinement. They challenge us to reassess how we show up for ourselves and the collective, emphasizing self-worth, courage, and discernment while warning against attracting chaos or being consumed by it. a space with no boundaries whether they are ideological, physical, or emotional.
The Shadow and Polarity of Pisces: Trust Relies on Surrendering
Pisces energy is deeply mystical and transcendent, but it also has a shadow side that we must confront during this nodal cycle. The shadow of Pisces includes neglect, disillusionment, victimization, depression, escapism, substance abuse, ignoring boundaries, and losing clarity in unclear structures or dissolved values.
There is also a tendency to want to save everyone, letting an idealized version of compassion override essential needs. Pisces operates in sextiles with Capricorn and Taurus— the first one provides clear definitions, while the second emphasizes the materialization of needs and values.
The nodal direction will emphasize these shadow tendencies, making them more apparent in our lives and the collective. However, this same energy holds the potential for profound transformation and reconnection to the soul’s journey. Pisces’ polarity offers a path to ultimate grace and beauty, where spirit and matter resonate in harmony. Music, humming, and creativity can serve as vessels to access this glorious resonance.
The key is balance. Keep one foot on the ground, firmly rooted in your instincts. Without grounding, the current program of dissolving the past can become overwhelming and confusing. We are closing a significant era, and for many, the shattered reality of this process can feel disorienting.
When darkness, heaviness, or confusion arise, it’s essential to balance it with lightness, clarity, and presence. Escaping into substances or avoidance won’t provide real relief. Instead, grounding practices like polyvagal breathing, somatic techniques, or tapping can help. Your body is an incredible tool—it’s always giving you signals about how to respond to what’s happening. Listen to it, hold space for yourself, and seek professional support when needed.
Virgo South Node: Discernment in Critical Moments—Perfection Is Not Possible
Opposing Pisces is Virgo, the sign where the South Node resides, bringing its own lessons into focus. Virgo, ruled by Mercury, represents the Sixth House, where we learn to be discerning, selective, and critical. Virgo energy teaches us how to edit out what doesn’t serve, refine what does, and prioritize what matters most.
Crisis and being critical share the same root, and both require us to make choices. In a crisis, there’s often a fork in the road—a moment where you must decide which path to take. Critical thinking in Virgo’s sense is not about judgment or condemnation; it’s about objectivity. It’s about discerning what is best in a critical moment and aligning with that choice.
The body and instincts play an essential role here. All five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—are vital tools for survival and discernment. They guide us when danger is present or when something feels off. During this nodal cycle, it’s important to become attuned to these instincts.
Virgo also reminds us to question the information we consume. Not everything we hear, read, or see will be the truth. Discernment is imperative in navigating this energy. Trust your body, ground yourself, and allow space for your instincts to lead the way. Virgo’s practicality and precision can anchor us amidst the ambiguity of Pisces, providing much-needed clarity.
There's a caveat. If you are overthinking, you can become anxious. I was watching a documentary yesterday on Netflix about the musician Avicii, and I’m not going to go through the whole story, but he was suffering from anxiety because his world needed to be perfect. He wasn’t even eating properly and was relying on substances to cope. Sadly, he ended up committing suicide in 2018. What struck me most was the Virgo energy he emanated. He was born during Virgo season, and I know many people with Virgo placements who become anxious and nervous because they strive for a perfection that doesn’t exist.
The Nodal Journey Through the Gates in Pisces/Virgo: Mirages
The nodal axis will shift on January 11th, 2025, moving in reverse through Pisces (north node) and Virgo (south node) in astrology. This journey will conclude on July 26th, 2026, when the nodes will shift to Aquarius (north node) and Leo (south node).
This nodal journey is not just about astrological movement; it’s an invitation to engage with the energies of each gate in Human Design, offering profound opportunities for growth and realignment. Each pairing of gates reveals unique lessons that guide us toward greater awareness and balance. Let’s begin with the first set of gates shaping this cycle: Gate 25 and Gate 46, already active since December 12th, 2024.
Universal Love Embodied: A Journey from Spirit to Flesh
Gate 25, the Gate of Universal Love, and Gate 46, the Gate of the Love of the Body, are both located in the G Center, or Identity Center. Their journey began on December 12, 2024, inviting us to reconnect with divine alignment and unconditional love. Gate 46 reminds us to honor the physical plane and trust the wisdom of the body. Together, they teach that spiritual love must be embodied in daily life.
Sometimes, we become confused about what love truly is. One way to navigate this is by pairing love with kindness. Through small acts of kindness—toward ourselves and the collective—we resonate with the frequency of universal love. Similarly, the love of the body reminds us that our spiritual journey cannot bypass the physical vessel we inhabit. Honoring the body, our sacred vessel, is one of the most profound spiritual acts we can practice.
The Depth of Crisis: Navigating Intimacy Through Emotional Waves
As we move into Gate 36 (crisis and emotional depth) and its opposition, Gate 6 (conflict and intimacy), new themes emerge. Gate 36 begins its activation on January 31st, 2025, and invites us to dive into the depths of emotional experience, transforming crises into wisdom. Its opposition, Gate 6, highlights the importance of resolving conflict to nurture intimacy, teaching us to balance the emotional charge of Gate 36.
Hexagram 6 is about conflict, and the wisdom of the I Ching invites us to reflect on discerning when to disengage from a place of conflict. Can you fix it? No? Let it go. Can you? Yes? Do it without violence; otherwise, the crisis will expand and spin out of control. The key word? Mmm, you know it: discernment.
(Parenthesis: The Channel of Transitoriness 35-36)
The Channel of Transitoriness (35-36) will be heavily activated on and off during the first part of 2025. This channel embodies a strong energy for seeking new experiences and a deep hunger for life. For those with this activation, there is often a mental pull toward thrill-seeking, such as riding emotional roller coasters or engaging in high-adrenaline activities like skydiving. While these pursuits can be exhilarating, they also carry the risk of instability or burnout if not approached with balance and intention.
This channel will be activated by Neptune, the nodal axis, and transiting Jupiter until mid-2025, amplifying its activation and inviting us to reflect on how we approach novelty and the lessons it brings. Because hexagram 36 is linked to the dark side of the soul, it is crucial to remain active in bringing light to the matters that are shaking our emotional perception of the world we’re living in. With awareness, light enters, and the chaos and entropy can channel their wisdom into an experience to learn from. It is a collective blur, so make sure you don’t align with the blob.
Ask yourself:
• What am I seeking to feel through this experience?
• Am I reacting emotionally, or am I progressing toward clarity?
Grace and Realization: The Dance of Emotional Flow and Mental Clarity
On May 28, 2025, the nodes will activate Gate 22 (Grace) and Gate 47 (Realization), tuning into emotional grace and acceptance while transforming confusion into clarity. Their opposites, Gates 12 and 64, bring a cautious, discerning approach to expression and abstract inspiration emerging from confusion. Together, they create a powerful axis, balancing mental clarity with emotional flow.
Gate 22, deeply emotional and connected to the solar plexus, is marked by a strong sensitivity to mood. It embodies the flow of grace, where action is best taken only when emotionally aligned. This gate moves not out of obligation but only when it truly feels ready.
Gate 47, by contrast, works through the conceptual mind and the power of thoughts. Stemming from confusion, it offers the opportunity to transform mental noise into clarity. It thrives on moments of insight and realization—flashes of understanding that reveal the bigger picture. At its core, realization is about conceptualizing and bringing something into existence, untangling abstract ideas and grounding them in practical awareness.
This means the North Node by November 2025 will be conjuncting my natal Chiron (17° Pisces), what started as my deep wound being activated in 2014-15 during its return, and was accentuated in May 2016 while the South Node was in Pisces, prompting me to take action by drowning in it. The wound was further activated to dissolve while Neptune visited in 2017-18, and now, in 2024, Saturn is reshaping this feeling of vulnerability into a tool to serve others. Nothing is a coincidence—our charts carry the tools we need to navigate this reality.
Eighteen years ago, in 2007, my Chiron was activated by the North Node and Uranus. That period marked a turning point where I began to truly recognize my value as an artist and started relating to my talents differently, breaking away from traumatic memories about my self-worth.
By the end of this cycle, my sense of value had shifted from disempowerment to a full awareness of my resources and the potential I hold to support others while educating myself on the true definition of worth.
Gate 22, in its low vibration, can lead to suffering—drowning oneself in the idea that nothing is working and becoming overwhelmed by emotions. Be wary of this. I am guilty of allowing these emotions to overtake me during the 2016-17 period.
Inquiry and Imagination: Seeking Clarity Through Abstract Thinking
In the summer of 2025, the nodal axis will activate Gate 63 (Doubt and Inquiry) and Gate 64 (Confusion and Imagination). Gate 63 urges us to question, analyze, and refine our understanding as we search for truth. Its counterpart, Gate 64, operates in the realm of abstract thinking, transforming confusion into clarity through reflection and visionary insight.
This pairing reflects the dynamic between logical inquiry and abstract imagination. Gate 63 thrives on questioning and systematic thinking, while Gate 64 works through imagery and the synthesis of abstract experiences. Together, they highlight the journey from doubt and confusion to clarity and epiphany, bridging logical skepticism with intuitive revelation.
Personally, I have the Channel of Logic (63-4) activated, which fuels my constant inquiry. Questions often come from external sources—people ask, and I feel inspired to dive deeply until I uncover a hypothesis or insight. Gate 63, which I have at line 5, compels me to share the insights I uncover. The need to communicate what I’ve found is intrinsic to my design. Meanwhile, Gate 4, with line 2 in my chart, allows me to naturally access knowledge and share it when I’m called.
This combination is a natural gift—it creates a flow where inquiry leads to discovery, and discovery leads to sharing. It’s an intuitive yet structured process that feels both aligned and purposeful. Gate 4 focuses on formulating logical solutions and grounded reasoning. A collective channel that balances curiosity with structured thought and analysis.
Loyalty and Solitude: Balancing the Bonds of Community and the Self
On December 23rd, 2025, the nodal axis will activate Gate 37 (Community and Loyalty) and Gate 40 (Aloneness and Rest). This alignment emphasizes the importance of loyalty—to oneself and to others within a community. Gate 37 reflects the desire to celebrate connection with family or tribe, cultivating a sense of belonging and mutual support. It invites us to recognize the value of showing up for those we care about and having their back in meaningful ways.
Gate 40, located in the Will Center, focuses on rest, self-reliance, determination, and valuing one’s time alone. Personally, I have this gate, though I’m not connected to Gate 37. I often find that I prioritize my time alone because it’s through this determination and solitude that I can better process the flow of emotions coming my way.
Together, these gates encourage us to find balance between personal needs and communal responsibilities. They remind us that while loyalty to others is vital, honoring our own boundaries and self-reliance is equally important. This balance ensures that we can contribute to our communities in a way that feels sustainable and aligned.
Abundance Within, Connection Beyond: Bridging Spirit and Intimacy
By mid May 2026, the nodal axis will activate Gate 55 (Abundance of Spirit) and Gate 59 (Intimacy and Bonding). Gate 55 encourages emotional fulfillment and reminds us that true abundance comes from within. A few years ago, during meditation, I received the phrase, "Abundance defines form." It took time to fully grasp the essence of this energy. We’re often taught to think of abundance as having more—money, resources, or material things. But Gate 55 invites us to understand that it’s the opposite: abundance is a state of being.
When we resonate with joy, love, and contentment, the form of our lives aligns with that energy. How we feel internally defines the shape of our external experience. Personally, I have Saturn in Gate 55, line 4, which emphasizes shaping and defining my life with clarity and purpose. Saturn’s influence in this gate urges me to balance emotional energies with principles, leading to expansion and success. Through mindfulness of my emotions, I’ve learned that fulfillment flows when I stay aligned with the spirit of abundance.
The opposite, Gate 59, stems from the sacral center and connects to Gate 6. This gate focuses on breaking down barriers to connection and cultivating deep intimacy. Together, Gate 55 and Gate 59 create a polarity of inner abundance and outward connection. They teach us that abundance is not just about spiritual or material wealth—it is also about sharing that wealth with others.
What is the value of being full of spiritual and material abundance if you cannot share it with someone you care deeply for? Gate 59 invites us to build meaningful connections, nurture intimacy, and leave a legacy for the tribe. Together, these gates remind us that true fulfillment comes from balancing inner emotional alignment with outward bonds that create lasting impact.
Clinging to Fire: Devotion to Feeling and Commitment
end of July 2026, Gate 30 is about the desire of feeling something. We sometimes have these ideas of fulfilling a desire, but we stay connected to the illusion or projection of the thing itself without truly focusing on the experience of feeling that desire.
Gate 29, on the other hand, is about being devoted to the things that matter and light you up. This is vital because every time you commit yourself to something, it needs to come from a clear and wholehearted "yes," not because you are influenced by someone else.
BTW, being influenced means that a person, situation or thing has power over you!
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t a time to create fear or anxiety. On the contrary, it’s an opportunity to explore the potential and polarity within these energies. Life is rarely black and white—it exists in the interplay of opposites. As I often say, it’s important to understand not just what you’re projecting onto a situation, person, or thing, nor simply what they reflect back to you, but what emerges in the middle. That emergence is the real synthesis—the space where evolution happens.
Polarities help us recognize the dynamic between projection and reflection. It’s up to you, in every moment, to pause and see what is truly emerging. Overthinking can lead to paralysis, and decisions made purely from nervous thoughts often lack alignment. Thoughts born from nervousness or anxiety don’t serve as a solid foundation for action.
With the south node in Virgo, we may collectively experience heightened nervousness and anxiety. Things we once believed to be real or stable may no longer hold as they did before. This shift asks us to tune into the body, to trust our instincts and intuition, and to understand our emotional waves. By grounding ourselves in the present and honoring how we truly feel—not what others are telling us to do—we can make decisions that are aligned with our authentic selves.
The key is to stay present, listen to your body, and let the clarity emerge in its own time. This is the path to navigating these energies with grace and awareness.
As the title of part one of my book The Nature of My Reality, EVERYTHING I NEED IS IN MY BODY. Have a great week!
A "Venus Star Point" refers to the celestial phenomenon where Venus, when viewed from Earth, appears to trace a five-pointed star pattern (Pentagram) across the sky over an eight-year cycle, returning to the same relative position every eight years due to its orbital pattern around the sun.
