I am OPTimist

Preamble

I believe that the real changes of 2025 are not going to come from the outside. Although the outside world seems very surreal, and at times crazy; and many times like it doesn’t make sense, what I’m starting to understand is this: the beginning of the year was Mars–Pluto opposition, Venus and Mercury retrograde conjoined, the first batch of eclipses in Pisces and Aries, with Saturn and Neptune in the mix and squaring Jupiter. The beginning of the year brought not only confusion, but also a wave of external deception—distorted narratives, mixed signals, misplaced trust—all of which served as mirrors to show us where we can get grounded for what is there to come.

And every single thing I’ve been talking about this year—what I’m starting to realize now, as an insight—is that the real transformation is what we’re all going through at our own pace and at our own level of consciousness.

We also reached the Bitcoin all-time high this weekend, and it unearthed some feelings I hadn’t yet put into words. It helped me process that the core of what I consider valuable, at this moment in my life, is not money, nor a price, nor a number; it is the relationship I have with my need to feel safe, in a self-preservation kind of way. That tension between trusting and not abandoning; between discrimination and control. Once it clicked, I felt a sweet song that made me dance. Financial charts are reading the sentiment of the people: you’ve got to find yourself in which part of the wave you are.

We still have this summer ahead, which is going to be even more intense. But the intensity is going to be felt inside. Questions such as: who am I as an individual? How am I serving humanity? And is this something I want to tune into as service, or do I just want to take from society?

It’s a real question. And I honestly believe, without offending anybody, that the people who want to take from society are not engaged in introspection. They don’t have the ability to reflect. So I’m speaking more to those of us who are actively questioning, aligning, and tuning our frequency.

When 2026 comes to be, we’re going to be so transformed: if we allow that transformation to occur, that the outcome of what we call reality will be completely different. Not because it changes, but because you change.

This is the power of human action. This is the power of consciousness. This is the power of being aware.

“The core desire within the Soul is to evolve. This desire is what causes the Soul to project itself into the manifested world in order to learn the necessary lessons that will bring it closer to the Source. These lessons are revealed through our relationships—how we meet others, what we attract, what we repel, and what remains unresolved within ourselves.”

—Jeffrey Wolf Green, Pluto: The Soul’s Evolution Through Relationships, Volume II

The axis of perception.

Every Relationship is different: it all depends on the perspective where you’re located and where the other situation, person, or thing, is standing. Thus relationships are individual perspectives, and they become non-individual when one side starts becoming aware of what is happening via diverse points of views.

I am framing relationship not as a fixed thing between two people, situations or things, but as a shifting dynamic based on where you are holding a position, what you are perceiving, and when awareness enters. This perception or view is also based on your conditioning: where did you grow up, what language(s) you speak, how was your relationship to your parent(s), to your culture, to what you worship, to your needs.

So everything, even within yourself—everything is relational. This article wants to dissolve the idea of relationship as something that is predefined. It becomes a field of consciousness shaped by angle, experience, projection, and recognition.

“Astrological aspects are not merely angles. They are phases of a dynamic cycle. They represent specific types of relationships between planetary functions, each with its own type of instruction and value. These values evolve depending on where you are in the cycle, just as a Full Moon means something different than a New Moon—even though both are conjunctions of sorts.”

—Dane Rudhyar, Astrological Aspects

I’ve always been aware that I need another person, a situation, or a thing to become really conscious of who I am and where I’m at. Conversations, for me, are very important: something always happens in dialogue. Now I do that by myself. I’ve been using this practice for seven, eight years; since I started studying astrology, to understand more clearly which phase of the relationship I’m in.

Let’s start from the basic: I was born a very curious person, but not just about how things work. The questions were always very deep: What am I doing here? What’s the purpose of life? This is defined by my Pluto, my evolutionary desire, my Soul’s desire. Pluto is in the 8th house, its own house, in Virgo. The archetypes here speak to my desire to learn how to discern and analyze, to become very analytical about the purpose of my life. If I really have to reduce everything, it’s my desire to evolve. I’m here just evolving. That’s the core.

Another aspect of Pluto in Virgo is that I’m always in a constant practice of purification. Because you see, when you become too analytical, you start seeing things that are not working. Therefore, you want to make them perfect. You want to realign them, restructure them, make them wholesome. That’s a very Virgo, sixth-house, Mercury-type function: trying to restore order, or what makes sense. Interestingly enough, when I started studying astrology, I realized that a lot of important people in my life that I was attracting were either Virgo rising, Moon in Virgo, Sun in Virgo—something Virgo.

I’m attracting in my eighth house, this kind of intimacy so I can actually learn both aspects of the Virgo archetype. Because it’s not just about analyzing and criticizing. It’s about surrendering and becoming wholesome, about embracing discernment and trust. The polarity point of Virgo is Pisces.

“Oppositions symbolize the fulfillment of a cycle. They are the most conscious of all aspects, for they force a person to face the full implication of polarity. There is no escape in the opposition. One must either learn to integrate or become fragmented in tension. Yet when integration occurs, oppositions give rise to the clearest light.”

—Dane Rudhyar, Astrological Aspects

So let’s speak about aspects.

As I mentioned before, transiting Pluto is squaring my Jupiter. But what I’m really talking about is a transit that’s activating the natural function of Jupiter in my 3rd house, Taurus, which is in a balsamic relationship to my Sun, and very close to my Mercury retrograde.

So let’s decode this.

What does it mean to have Jupiter in Taurus in a balsamic relationship to the Sun, the center of my life, while Mercury retrograde is in a Kazemi relationship to the Sun (Kazemi meaning Mercury is exactly conjunct the Sun within less than one degree, a moment of potential clarity and seeding.)

When you think about the 3rd house and Mercury, you think about ideas. But Mercury is retrograde, so it’s a very internalized function of the mind. Mercury and Gemini are the logical stream of our cognition, and Jupiter is the abstract, more intuitive part that integrates every single piece of knowledge. The way it synthesizes is through experience. That’s why Jupiter is close to the seeking of truth: to the pilgrim who leaves home and, in the journey, finds himself or herself.

Technically, a retrograde Kazemi is part of the inferior conjunction, which marks the beginning of a new Mercury cycle. But that cycle is born within. It’s not yet visible. It’s a moment of internal conception, not external clarity. That’s why Mercury here is looking inside and trying to make sense of reality in a way that can ground my perception of how I see and validate myself.

Now the Sun, as a sandwich here, is very interestin…

A Full Moon in Capricorn is the moment when the structures we have built are illuminated; some stand; some not; but only those aligned with inner necessity will endure…

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:A time to be born, and a time to die;A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;A time to kill, and a time to heal;A time to break down, and a time to build up;A time to weep, and a time to laugh;A time to mourn, and a time to dance;A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;A time to get, and a time to lose;A time to keep, and a time to cast away;A time to rend, and a time to sew;A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;A time to love, and a time to hate;A time of war, and a time of peace.— Ecclesiastes 3:1–8

‘Tis the time to revise what being a responsible individual feels like

This full moon in Capricorn on July 10 is inviting a deep reflection on accountability, maturity, and the fabric of life: Saturn, its ruler, is about to turn retrograde on the 13th, and several longer cycles are pointing to what needs to dissolve, confront, or hold.

We should check where Saturn is transiting in your chart. In my case, it’s in the second house.

Right now, Saturn is in a tight conjunction with Neptune. In my chart, both are squaring the nodal axis. This full moon at 18° Capricorn marks a culmination; especially around effort I’ve made to mature, structure, and the responsibility I’ve been embodying to value what matters. 

Tuning into “the frequency”

Lately, I’ve been feeling a deeper sense of responsibility around my needs and what I truly value; in other words, my finances; and how to do a better “job” with them. How to tune into the frequency of embodying value without too much effort so it doesn't feel limiting but supportive.

Pisces rules my second house, and Pisces is very much like,

“Oh, I can manage this; I trust everything’s going to be fine.”

But I don’t want to keep all the numbers in my head. I’ve been implementing some discipline with some flow. I think I’m on to something, and this full moon is the moment of realization, of calibration: this needs to be tuned into full embodiment. I’ve actually been weaving it.

I’ve created a relationship to relate to those needs in a more grounded, supported way.

I’ve been studying about the foundation of money. And I know, as a Bitcoiner, it’s quite interesting because it’s not that I’m obsessed about money, but I’m focused on the structure of the monetary system that doesn’t work anymore. And why, as Bitcoiners, we’re in this transition mode.

I feel that this is what Saturn retrograde is going to feel like. Like how to trust these decisions that I make are the right ones. And so once I make them, as an adult, I live through them. I won’t hesitate calling them out when I’m wrong, but I won’t be living off the fear of making a mistake.

I think this is the biggest thing I’m dealing with right now. I have the knowledge. I’ve paved the journey of financial education, and at times I have to make decisions. Once I make them, I can rest; I can be less stressed. I notice the stress shows up before making long-term decisions: financial planning. In the past, I used to trust my luck; until I realized luck has nothing to do with decision-making, unless I’m a gambler, which I’m not.

It’s not that Bitcoin is right or wrong, but about learning how to leverage a life under the Bitcoin standard while I’m still earning in fiat. It is about the relationship with my sense of value.

Because I’m identifying how it feels, I’m identifying where the fear is, and I’m identifying what is the plan.

But last and not least, it is interesting because I did make a call about the price of Bitcoin reaching an all-time high between the 7th and the 9th of July, and that’s what happened yesterday. So I was very happy to know that it’s like learning to read charts of all sorts—not just astrological but financial. There’s a knowing, there’s a skill set, there’s a structure. And then it’s how to use, how to read those signs, and trust that what you’re reading is what it is. And so there’s no doubt at the end. There’s no doubt. The doubt comes when you don’t trust the structure.

One thing I have noticed is that the second house, Taurus, and Venus rule talents, resources, and skills. So using tech to become more productive has been key. You know I’ve been studying AI prompting privately for months now, executing a variety of tools that are permitting me to be more productive without feeling like it’s a job; basically, a practice that flows, that slowly becomes aware of itself and requires no effort, because it is.

Facing the intensity of the psyche

Transiting Mars in Virgo is about to conjunct the South Node of the Moon in my 8th house. I have Pluto in my 8th, so there’s a confrontation with the intensity of my psyche. But Saturn has been very efficient these past few years, showing me that I’m actually growing up; that I’m embodying what I preach.

And my North Node is saying: I gotta do this with my heart, but I have to do it creatively. I can’t just, like, wing it.

We have to remember that growing up isn’t just about age. It’s about responsibility and evolution; You can’t define yourself with childish resolutions. You have to embrace the child in yourself and still become your own inner and outer authority. We have to become our own parents.

This Full Moon is highlighting my 12th and 6th houses: focus on how I’ve been unconsciously navigating my life, in good ways and in ways that ask for review, what can be revealed through small, daily details?

Pluto is no longer in Capricorn, but it spent 16 years transforming the unconscious area of my chart. It is finishing the upgrade of my operating system. With Saturn, Capricorn’s ruler—about to return to Pisces, it’s asking:

What still needs to dissolve? What still needs to end?

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”—C. G. Jung, from Collected Works Vol 13, The Philosophical Tree, para. 335

Weaving flow

As Saturn retrogrades, it will re-enter Pisces on September 1st and go direct on November 27. That gives us four months to revise and redefine what we’ve built. Saturn returns to Aries on February 13, 2026, and immediately conjuncts Neptune. This is a very big event that happens every 36 years, what is rare is that they are meeting at 0° Aries, the absolute beginning of the natural zodiac »> read reset.

This has everything to do with integrity and behavior.

What are we going to redefine over the next three years while in Aries?, as Saturn meets Neptune in February 2026? What are we reshaping? What are we initiating—as individuals?

As an adult, as a mature person, as somebody who takes my own responsibility seriously, these next months I’m going to be revising everything I’ve been working since my second Saturn return in March 2023, and thereafter when it entered my second house last year. Full recalibration, as I have data to look back to, and intentions to look forward to. Systems need to be executed and calibrated for optimum results. Capricorn is all about efficiency and direction.

I’m reviewing the anatomy that I’ve been putting in place to stop outsourcing trust. Not to stop trusting myself; but to understand that trusting myself now requires a precise system. It requires a form that supports my individuality. If I want to be on the main stage, I need to be 100% responsible for everything that lives in that second house: how I manage my resources; how I treat my talents; how I embody value; not only for myself but in a way others can also tune into.

That has been my Achilles point. Not making it happen, but holding it, keeping it, saving it, providing long-term. This archetype is about long-term. I realized that my natal Saturn in Pisces has given me the possibility to kind of manage things in my magical way. I’m 61 now, …

NOTE:

👆AUDIO ABOVE is full length👆

Hi peeps, I got inspired so this article is a bit long yet juicy here a preview :

Part 1

1. Ontology, Qualia, Semantics, Thoughts & Forms:: These are the threads I’ve been tracing; where language, structure, and the rawness of experience intersect. 2. Disrupting mental flow:: The mind is wired for patterns, but Uranus is here to tear through them. 3.The Nature of [My] Reality:: Reality has always been layered; this is how I’ve learned to read its architecture. 4.The Mirroring of Concepts:: Structure and meaning keep reflecting each other—syntax, semantics, presence—they loop. 5. ALL THAT IS :: Beneath words, beneath measurement, there is the pulse of being.

Part 2

6. The Origins:: Every structure, every system, every idea—before all that, there’s source. 7. Machines + Meaning:: The machines can run the code, but they can’t touch what lives beneath it. 8. And what about the markets:: The same patterns play out in price, in speculation, in the nervous system of trade—it’s all part of the architecture cracking open.

👇Due to the length of the whole piece, I am dividing the audio in 2 parts:👇

Ontology, Qualia, Semantics, Thoughts & Forms

So here I am, finishing some images for a commission that is about to wrap in San Antonio, Texas, before I send them to the fabricator and get approval from the committee. And posting some documentation below of my latest public art commission, Arcana, for the IEB at the University of Washington in Seattle. I’m always very curious to see what other thing I’m going to get into, what I’m going to be reading, what is going to flow next, where my frequency is tuning into.

Let’s say I became aware of the work of Federico Faggin a couple of years ago, but it was only in the last months that I became really curious; his book Irreducible came out, and I finally had the time to listen to it, in Italian. He’s an Italian physicist who has been living in the United States for decades now.

I speak Italian fluently. I also got a copy in English, just in case. But the Italian version stayed with me; there’s a depth in that language that never leaves you. We owe that to Dante. He gave us the Italian language we know now; he decentralized language when he wrote the Divine Comedy. He made it vulgar; he wrote it for the people. (Vulgar comes from the Latin vulgaris; it means common, of the people, spoken by everyone.)

The way Faggin writes and the way he speaks is so profoundly complex; simple in expression; beautiful in its own rhythm.

Disrupting mental flow

Uranus in Gemini will disrupt and crack open the structures of thought, language, symbols; the very scaffolding of mental patterns. Gemini is the archetype of duality, of words, of coding, the left side of the brain, the nervous system of ideas.

Uranus severs outdated patterns; liberates the mental field; forces a leap beyond habitual thought forms.

Uranus in Gemini is going to be destabilizing the calcified framework of the mind, because Faggin reminds us that semantics and Qualia; the felt, the living layer; cannot be programmed. And the true liberation of thought is not more code; it is returning to consciousness as the source.

Uranus as a high octave of Mercury works as the breaking point where thought itself gives way. Mercury governs language and logic, the structure of ideas. Jupiter expands that into meaning, into philosophy, into intuitive understanding. But Uranus arrives beyond both, disrupting and barely expanding it. It cuts through the architecture, shattering outdated narratives, jolting us beyond the framework of language and into direct presence. This transit exposes what exists beyond them: the raw, irreducible field of awareness we keep pointing toward.

Consciousness cannot be reduced to the manipulation of symbols. It is the irreducible foundation from which meaning arises.

~Federico Faggin, Irreducible

Federico’s work is the perfect companion to this transit, because he reminds us that the mind, the code, the language, is just the downstream of consciousness. Consciousness is the base; we cannot reduce it to anything else.

As Uranus disrupts, it will be inviting us to return to the well: to the raw, essential field of experience from which language emerges.

Consciousness is the essential ground from which mathematics stems. Mathematics is a product of conscious beings exploring the patterns and relationships of the world; it does not precede or generate consciousness; it is a flowing stream of awareness downloaded.

I am paraphrasing what he said in an interview in 2023. In other words, mathematics as code is language; it is reflection; a shadow downstream from the source.

The Nature of [My] Reality

Plato taught that behind the visible world lies an invisible architecture; the Forms; the essence that shape what we perceive. His Solids were a glimpse into that structure, where geometry became a bridge between matter and meaning.

The pyramid, the octahedron, the icosahedron, the dodecahedron, the cube; they help us understand nature through geometry, which is the space of numbers. Each of these shapes carries a numerical relationship; the edges, the angles, the face: they reveal patterns hidden in plain sight. Even the simplest, the tetrahedron, folds into the rhythm; its structure multiplies into the number 1440. One could say it’s a coincidence, but that’s the number of minutes we have in a day: 24 hours times 60 minutes; all multiples of 12. The universe arranges itself this way; the numbers reveal the structure.

* 1440 = sum of angles of a star tetrahedron (2 x 720 = 1440º)

* 1440 = sum of angles of a octahedron

* 1440 = sum of angles of a decagon (10 sides: 144 x 10 = 1440)

“All things are the offspring of necessity and reason.”

~Plato, Timaeus

Plato taught all this; one needed to understand the principles of num…

This article is going to sit between the rational; so we’re going to be speaking about definitions, and the most intuitive part of myself that’s putting all these things together because this is what I’ve been observing from the place where I am right now.

A lot of these movements or cultural heritage were given to me via visuals. I lived in New York for so many years, I lived in Europe, so I was able to grasp a lot of it just intuitively. I’ve always been attracted to abstraction, attracted to very clean lines. It’s just the way part of my aesthetics work.

But that doesn’t mean I cannot appreciate Gothic or Baroque. It’s just the way I find harmony. It’s more with geometry, so that’s why my work is more abstract in a way. But within the abstraction, I always put emotion in it. I put colors, but I embed with textures and with whimsical elements of what could be the absurd.

I like the absurd in my work. I think they’re not expected to be there, they make a contrast, and then they can create and trigger an emotion in the moment that the art can be viewed, or the piece can be read, or it can be encountered and experienced. So I’m very aware of that.

But now what I’m doing with this article is speaking from a very personal perspective. Because what I feel is happening right now with me is that I’ve entered a different alignment in my life, where I’m just going to go deep and try to deconstruct what I’m doing—not in a postmodern way—but more as a synthesis, by integrating all the pieces without having to deconstruct them and isolate them.

Because I think that’s the problem I have with postmodernism. It segregates things so much that it’s very difficult to find the connection between them.

Tempo, Territory, and the Property of My Own Body

What is private property? What does it mean to have autonomy and ownership over your own body? These questions became real in 2021, standing in a castle in Umbria, Italy, surrounded by poets, musicians, and visual artists from around the world.

I had been invited to an artist residency funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. A gift from the same government now busy dismantling those funds—but I’m not here to argue that part. I took the opportunity, I made the most of it.

But before I arrived, I made sure of one thing: that my body would not be subject to forced medical procedures. That was my line. They assured me it would be respected. But halfway through the residency, in the middle of the summer, the Italian government changed the rules.

They brought in the infamous Green Pass, and suddenly, my body wasn’t entirely my property anymore—not if I wanted to stay.

One of the directors called me into her office, her hands on her heart, her head tilted toward one side of her shoulders, her little dog on her lap. She asked me to “do something for them.” But she didn’t say I—she said we.

I remember asking, “Who’s we? You and the dog?” Because I knew where this was going.

What happened next wasn’t just about vaccines or politics. It was about territory, about property, about how easily the ownership of the body: the most basic form of private property, can be eroded by collective pressure wrapped in polite words.

A day after I declined to be tested every two days at my expense because everyone else would feel “safer,” the Italian director joked that I was making a big thing out of nothing—>as they could vaccinate me during my sleep.

Guys, I am not dramatic, but then I felt my body freeze. And I decided to cut my stay in Italy short; alas, the country had submitted to a collective blob of very efficient and obedient NPCs.

Since then, I have enrolled in educating myself on common law and been able to stand for my rights on many occasions. It is about language, y’all.

That moment was the beginning of me tracing how all these threads intersect—private property, modern culture, coercion, value—and how they land as challenges to confront..

Slavery

Slavery is such a dirty word. The first time you ever heard slavery, you were probably very young, and then you ask for something too much, and somebody just responds, what do you think I am, your slave? And then you ask your mom, your dad, what is a slave? And they probably say, oh, maybe the meaning of slave comes from Latin, sclavus, originally meaning Slav, as many Slavic people were captured and enslaved during wars in Eastern Europe.

But did we really know what it meant?

Slave is something that is defined as a person who is the legal property of another. I’m going to say that again: the legal property of another.

When it’s legal, it’s not lawful. This is a very big distinction. Somebody taking over somebody else’s private property, or the property of their body, so being a slave is actually an unlawful thing.

“Why do men fight for their servitude as stubbornly as though it were their salvation?” – a question posed by Deleuze and Guattari quoting Spinoza on how people demand their own submission.

But legal and lawful aren’t the same thing. Legal is what the system writes into its codes. It’s policy. It’s paperwork. Lawful—at its root—is aligned with natural law, with rights that exist before governments decide what’s permitted or prohibited. Legal can be manipulated; lawful is meant to be inherent.

Origins of Private Property — Especially the Body as Private Property

Private property begins with the body. It is your first territory, your first boundary. Before Locke, before the modern legal definitions, there was still the instinct to say: this is mine.

John Locke formalized that instinct in his Second Treatise of Government (1689), defining private property as an extension of one’s body and labor:

“Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself.”

But ownership of the body has been selectively applied, distorted, even erased, depending on who holds power. Before Locke, under feudal systems and monarchies, there wasn’t really a concept of the body as private property distinct from sovereign rule. You were subject to the king, the church, the patriarch, the tribe.

So my point—body as private property—is historically a modern concept, but it’s been co-opted, fractured, selectively applied ever since.

Modern

When you think about the word modern, you probably think: modern times, the beginning of a departure from neoclassical ways. Stripping all the shapes into straight lines, circles, triangles.

I actually relate a lot to modernism, but not as a way of thinking—more as something that embodies simplicity and functionality.

The word itself comes from modernus, from modo, meaning just now, present manner. It implies recent times, the now, the up-to-date. It entered Middle English by way of Late Latin around the 15th century.

So it always implies newness and relativity—just new, just now.

Modernism vs Contemporary

I aligned to modernism because it emphasizes rationality, clarity, progress. But I never agreed with rejecting tradition, ornament, or myth. I think one should not reject or embrace—but synthesize.

There is an idealism for efficiency—but utopian ideals, they’re very naive.

Think Bauhaus, Le Corbusier, early functionalist architecture, abstract art, minimalism.

Contemporary simply means of this time, now. But in culture, it usually refers to postmodernity—what came after modernism.

Crits and BS

When I arrived in New York, postmodernism was flying high. Everybody was talking about semiotics, philology. Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Deleuze—blah, blah, blah. Reading over a reading over a reading—it was exhausting.

I had a couple of ex-boyfriends who studied philology; sorry to say, they were just mentally masturbating over these principles. I would ask: why don’t we just go to the root of the thing? Instead of building new meanings on top of meanings, on top of meanings, when all you’re doing is avoidi…

“You take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours.”

— Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

The Compass is Within

Just look outside of yourself and see who’s cheering for what, and for whom, and who sees that is carrying the truth. And how many idols are collapsing every day, all the time? How many fake spiritual gurus are showing their true face?

How many distorted, economical gurus are pushing your way based on your own deficiencies?

How many of your friends have stopped being your friends because you started seeing them for what they are? And most important, you started seeing yourself for who you are and what you’re longing for and how you’re not integrating it, because you are distracted with so much going on.

There’s so much noise right now that is incredible, but within it, there’s a static noise that we can hear inside of ourselves, and that’s the one I love to be.

This week has been amazing; slowly, slowly, this new moon—it’s an amazing new moon to set up intentions of how we want to project ourselves in the big space of emotional intelligence, as opposed to trying to rely on those deficiencies by projecting into others, outside of ourselves.

Relationships serve a purpose, but they’re not the purpose. I think I learned that one the hard way. I had to find a balance between the inner and outer authority, so then we have to go back to the individual and the way we project our relationships. If we look at those cardinal points, we’ll see that the answer is there. It is in the “I”. It is in the “you”. It is in the inner emotional body and the outer projection of one’s own authority.

This cardinal dance is one that is very charged right now because of the potential that we’ve been offered at the moment.

Because we’re talking about the cardinals, let’s start with—Saturn right now in Aries is helping us define who is that “I”, the individual. And is the I the same as the ego, the perception, or is the I the full potential of what’s being projected? We don’t know yet that the ego is ruled by the Moon and the emotions. Neptune is also in Aries, and Neptune is going to help us via confusion. Keep the veil and keep ourselves in La La Land. So the question right now for me is very basic. Where am I lying?

It’s time to really look at myself in the mirror and see the places where I’ve been lying to myself—and to others, for that matter.

Then we go to a very sensitive place: the Moon, Cancer. Because we need to feel embraced and secure, we feel out of place. The environment is the first mirror—and Cancer, or the Moon, is always related to the environment. It is where the first conditioning begins: our family, our home, our early school, our primary attachments.

Remember, we carry our emotions in our bodies, and alas many times we define ourselves unconsciously by them.

The next cardinal point is Libra. It’s all about shared needs—but it’s all about leverage. If I know what I need, I know what I value. I give meaning to it, and I would know how to leverage myself in relationship to “you”.

Last but not least is Capricorn—Saturn.

-Have you done the homework?

-No? No? Well,

-what are you going to do about it?

-Are you accountable?

-Are you responsible?

-No?

-What are you going to do about it?

Because there’s nothing more horrible than being codependent on anybody else—especially institutions and society.

So, we have a beautiful Jupiter right now in conjunction to the Sun and the Moon. It’s a beautiful expansion, an opportunity to see how to seek this emotional alignment. But you see, alignment and emotions are almost like an oxymoron. Why? Because emotions are waves. They’re waves of feelings and sensations that we perceive at times. And many times what we’re perceiving is our own projection, our own expectation. So, they cannot be stabilized, they cannot be controlled, they cannot be static in the same place. They’re always going to be playing up and down, even in the wavelength.

The Wisdom of the Electromagnetic Field

Emotions need time to be processed. If we embody the rage in the moment of rage, we ignite something we might later regret. We could burn the field before we can harvest it. Let’s say that we embody the fear in the moment of fear, and we freeze. Therefore, we step into survival mode and stop the thriving opportunities. With sadness, it drowns you. The breath gets shallow, and we can barely take the next step. But if we take the time to witness the emotion as the wave that it is, we begin to sense the wisdom inside of it. And that wave is inside of ourselves.

This is the real intelligence of the emotional body, the electromagnetic opportunity to remember who we are without becoming the moment itself.

The important thing is to be able to acknowledge them for what they are. And starting from there, know that there are opportunities to find out where you are. Know your GPS. I love my emotions. I used to hate them. I don’t control them. I learn from them. I let the emotions speak to me.

So, Jupiter right now in Cancer is going to make things more accentuated. You know—Nationalism, Christianism, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Socialism, Communism, Capitalism—all the isms that we frame ourselves, Jupiter. We frame our minds, we try to define ourselves and limit ourselves with all the isms. There’s danger to that, especially when you’re projecting who you really are, when you’re using a veil, when you’re not telling yourself the truth. So, that’s where we are right now.

Saturn as the boundary of the I. Neptune as the temptation to dissolve into illusion or avoidance. Because you see, Saturn—when Saturn is aligned—wants to be responsible. And when Neptune is misaligned, it wants to hide. Jupiter could also accentuate all those things that are not yet integrated, especially emotions.

So the right way these days with the square is to really go one by one, acknowledging: where are the things that you need to be responsible for? Where are you in disillusionment or projecting an illusion? And how are you in relationship to your emotions, your emotional body?

“I do not know which of us has written this page.”

This new moon asks for noticing; it repels the noise because it is asking—where do I find shelter? Where am I nourishing? If we let Jupiter expand what is real inside of me, it creates a time to grow from the inside, trusting my emotional body as a guide in alignment. Acknowledging our electromagnetic bodies, our body begins to remember—as the emotions are calibrations. This is one of the most precise ways to tune back into oneself.

Jupiter in Gate 15 radiates quiet magnetism; the electromagnetic field vibrates in its own frequency when tuned. The new moon in Gate 52 invites stillness. Listening closely to what the emotional cues are whispering—there is a frequency beneath the noise.

There is a rhythm waiting to be felt.

“Everything in the universe is in a state of motion, of vibration. The quality of that motion is what determines the harmony or disharmony in any system.”

Report card is here and I want to know if I’m failing, because we’re in very challenging times, and the only way I can see if I’m failing is because I am allowing the collective transpersonal energy to overcome the peace and the calm and the temper that I can have in time of responding—not reacting.

I actually have this thing throughout my life that when big bad things happen, I’m the coolest in the room; so if there’s ever the big bad thing, just call me—I’ll be there, just like observing. I have many six lines in my design, and I have the capacity to be very detached when a crisis happens. I am wired for unexpected turns, and I have the ability to both detach and discern what to nurture. I take the stance of observation first—witnessing, collecting, and feeling from a distance—so that when I do speak, I synthesize. My role is to see clearly, and only then, to speak from coherence.

I was talking to Mark Jones about it in my session today—maybe that was something that I developed after my father died, that I kind of closed the door to react in despair or panic. I’m also very calm in moments of crisis. Take 9/11—I had a temporary art studio, Tower 1, 92nd floor, WTC. I stayed up recording the thunderstorm Erin on the eve of the attacks, left at the last minute because I ran out of cigarettes (twist plot: my father died in a car crash because he also ran out of those). The morning after, witnessing the attacks from my Brooklyn Heights windows, I responded immediately, calling and organizing a meeting for the rest of the artists—I knew we needed to care for each other’s needs. This all happened within the first two hours. I don’t know where this wave of calm comes from… Read more about this event and see the film I made—link here.

But the question always is: am I here to perfect things, to make them perfect and to repair them? Or am I here to nurture—and who am I nurturing? Is it me, or the projection of what I think needs to be nurtured?

So we are in a room full of mirrors right now. The whole world. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Versailles, and they have this beautiful room that is just like mirror after mirror, so at the very end you don’t know where your reflection ends because you’re projecting—Doug Aitken’s mirrored architecture or Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Room, metaphors of both the dissolution and disillusion (the lack of illusion) of the self.

And that’s what happens a lot when you go onto social media, you go to a party, a big conference, you belong to a group, and if not in the right frequency, you end up reacting to all the shadows and all the images that are coming your way, and that you cannot probably process one by one like you do in Aikido.

When you do randori, you just have to wait—one after the other. You just have to do what you have to do so the other person rolls down on the floor.

And this Solstice—on June 20 - 21st—is quite charged. Not only for the collective, but for me at least. I’m going to have the conjunction of the Sun and Jupiter exactly on my nodal axis, right at the beginning of Cancer. And just a few days later, on June 25th at 6:31 a.m., we’ll have a new moon in Cancer perfecting this same aspect while it is being squared by Saturn and Neptune in Aries, the tolls of war might be echoing in the background…

The path of what was to come was awful. It was the enormous dying, a sea of blood. From it the new sun arose, awful and a reversal of that which we call day. ~ Carl Jung Liber Novus (full quote at the end of the article.)

The astrology is so remarkable because every time I look forward or backward, or even at the moment—like what’s going on—and I look at it in relationship to my chart, it really helps me to get deeper into my insights.

Do not be afraid; our fateCannot be taken from us; it is a gift.― Dante Alighieri, Inferno

The Metabolism of Astrological Patterns

So one of the things that I was looking at was that Mars entered into Virgo a couple of days ago, and I have two planets in Virgo. And right now, the South Node is in Virgo.

Mars in Virgo is the impulse to refine, to correct, to act with precision. It studies, dissects, edits, repeats. It makes the perfect discipline for the craftsman—the warrior of systems.

The South Node in Virgo brings the opportunity to face the karmic memory of needing to fix everything. The polarity is Pisces—to remember that life is not a spreadsheet. It is the surrender to your own sense of purpose.

No wonder why my generation (those born in the sixties) is obsessed with juicing, yoga, health, and repair. No wonder why we’re looking younger by the day. Uranus in Virgo disrupts inherited patterns of control, perfectionism, and obedience—especially in matters of the body, work, health, and service. The nervous system becomes a tuning instrument, and the healer-archetype is redefined as the one who sees clearly and refuses false order.

I know that the South Node is going in reverse and it’s going to approach two very important planets in my chart. And they’re in the eighth house—the house of the enigmatic, of the psychological, of those things that need to be revealed through confrontation—and the seventh house, which is my relational house.

So the South Node, at the end of the year, is going to touch my Pluto. How am I evolving? How am I facing this reality? Report card time, some will say—South Node meets Pluto in 8th house Virgo. Deep reveals of how I have been able to manipulate interactions that stem from very unconscious patterns. And to be honest, that is what I am working with Mark—discovering the links embedded in the psyche and elsewhere. Exciting times for my very psychological persona.

The image of God has a shadow. The supreme meaning is real and casts a shadow. For what can be actual and corporeal and have no shadows?

―Carl Jung,Liber Novus- I am actually reading this book now, and totally taken by it.

And then it’s going to touch my Uranus in the seventh house—that is like, how I’m going to direct the energy of dealing with traumatic situations. Am I going to break things again, or am I going to use the discernment to actually know what needs to be cut off and what is having an ending? This has been the work I have been doing with Kai since 2021—finding middle ways in the way I relate to things, situations, and people, where the tendency is to shut them off if I feel the principles of the relationship are compromised. I still can choose to break free from a place of awareness, not trauma.

Loyalty becomes conditional upon alignment. Contracts must be energetically coherent. I am governed by the shock and the recognition that breaks mirrors of one’s own evolution when they’re projected into the other in a relationship.

Because you see, these two planets—when they met in 1965 and 1966 in the sign of Virgo—ignited a rare evolutionary conjunction between Uranus and Pluto. It was the beginning of a collective mutation around systems, order, purity, control, and the body itself. The conjunction marked a moment when the desire to evolve (Pluto) merged with the force of disruption and liberation (Uranus). And they did so in Virgo—demanding that all structures of service, health, and perfection be dismantled and rewired from the root.

Those of us born before the exact conjunction carry the balsamic phase signature. This phase is here to witness, to release, and to seed new consciousness through integration and discernment—with an intensity of accepting and surrendering to what is.

And those born after the conjunction in 1965–66 carry the new phase imprint. They’re here to initiate a new story. The new phase expresses the first breath of an evolutionary force—to innovate, to disrupt, to begin again. With Uranus and Pluto together in Virgo, these people bring a mutation into matter, to make transformation practical, to question every system, and to embody a new archetype of wholeness through intelligent design.

For those of us born with this conjunction, this is an activation of our life’s missio…

FUD (an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt)[1]

I see a lot of that. I see a lot of FUD.

Most people in a position of influence yielding their personal bias instead of holding space and accepting that the fear that emanates from the current chaos is something to first be accepted as a human.

Two—it can be used as a springboard to actually change a perspective.

The nodes squaring the last full moon have been a perfect terrain for that.

What do I still have to inquire that can give me a wider perspective instead of keep me in the jail of my certainty?

All perspectives are tinted with half-truths, so isn’t it great to be alive today to discover multiple ways to evolve?

My writings are not abstract. In the contrary, they are meant to make you dive deeper into your inquiry.

I challenge anyone who disagrees with me to establish an eloquent dialogue.

I have been training in the dojo of social media for the past years.

My truth is not absolute. I still learn new things every day, but I am not afraid to speak up anymore.

* Cojones

* Balls

* Palle

You know what I mean.

The worst thing that can happen is the inevitable—and that is death—so between here and there: be brave.

As much as I hated my last name growing up for the amount of jokes I was submitted to, I learned to love it and live by it.

Not every decision I have made has gone great, but I can attest that when I am not in my authentic aura, and don’t trust my instincts, and don’t take time for my emotional wave even to respond to a comment—

All goes to poopoo and gets misaligned.

Two days ago I was mourning a part of me that lived on projections, on ideals that served me well until now. I give thanks to the people and situations that allowed this energy to snap into a different timeline.

Own your s**t, people.

It is as simple as doing your bed in the morning, even if you have help. Brush your teeth and be caring towards your vessel.

Self-abandonment was the keyword this week that reminded me of what I don’t want—

To drown in an ocean of pity and blame the collective blob for my lack of accountability. Short and sweet. I have no more to say.

Just be f*****g happy if you dare. Bombs, riots, injustices all around— What are YOU creating that speaks about the field of life?

See ya at the turn of next week.

I have been praying to keep my soul aligned to my purpose—as I came here to evolve,and to do so by creating beautiful situations, environments, images, and things. Speaking of which—

I’m going to leave you with the introduction to a chapter from my book, The Nature of My Reality.

I’ll see you when I see you

I’m no longer protecting myself. Protection builds walls, and I’m not here to live in a prison of my own making. When I’m attuning, it’s so precise, so clean, that the noise can’t find me. It’s not a matter of hiding or standing behind a shield. When I attune my frequency, the vibration of the space doesn’t allow what’s not meant to cross my path to see me—or hear me. That’s what it means to live in coherence. What’s misaligned has no anchor. I don’t push it away. It simply can’t enter. I’m learning that true boundaries aren’t about defending—they’re about resonating. ~me

NOTE: As I write this, civil disorder is erupting—Los Angeles, New York City, Ireland. In Colombia, an assassination attempt was made on a presidential candidate and he survived. With Jupiter and Mercury at the Anaretic 29° of Gemini, crossing into Cancer, extreme ideologies are hardening into fierce nationalism—willing to do whatever it takes to preserve the perceived principles of the motherland. These acts are volatile at his threshold, holding the last breath of mental dispersal before emotion floods the field. Thought becomes conviction, words turn into shields. There is an amplification of identity and bloodline. A psychological border is being crossed.

I pray for peace and call for realignment—tuning into the frequency of pure light.

What Lands in the Body Becomes Real

I’m writing this from a place of attunement. I’ve been asking myself: what still inspires me? What do I want to speak into the field that feels resonant—not reactive?

Maybe you can share with me at the end in the comments—what is it that you're feeling, sensing, reading, what is it th at is inspiring you right now, what is it that is keeping you awake. Because you can't wait for the next time that you can actually do that. It doesn't have to be artistic. It could be creative in many different ways. If you have a project in your mind that you would like to do—simple, like you would like to learn about something—then you're going to figure out how to study it, where to study it, why to study it, and how much time you're going to devote to that.

You know what else I'm also noticing, probably for a couple of months now? People are going under the radar. People are not available. When I say people, I mean people I used to chat with. It's like—they're just not available anymore. And it happens to me too. I'm not being very available either. I wonder if it's a kind of self-regulating protection. Somehow, we don’t want to be out there as much. I think there's a fatigue about being available. A fatigue that comes with so much noise going on. People are just doing their own thing. Whatever that is, they just stop being so available. I'm noticing that.

In that quiet, I’ve been reflecting on the people who shaped my ability to feel again.

For a while I have been meaning to share the source of many of my mentors and practitioners who, one way or another, created an impact and mirrored moments of truth—when my inquiry led me to seek their support. I have practiced many modalities.

When the Body Remembers for You

Today, I want to honor the many great people who have mentored me—and whom I have mentored. Some I’ve worked with in the past, some I still work with. Each of them opened a door—into trauma, ancestry, memory—and I’m still walking through it. I’ve tapped into deep layers of pain and lineage, and I’m still in the process. Because it’s not that I want to make a big deal about my vulnerabilities. What I want to make a big deal about is the possibility of living a life without their grip—or at least integrating them so I become my evolving self. Their transmissions and mirroring moved the mentor-mentee dynamic into something else—something that touches both inner and outer authority. It’s a dual relationship, where both disciple and mentor learn what they need to reflect within the relationship itself. You could call them a wisdom family. They’ve shaped, beyond the deeper study of astrology, my work with Human Design (via a study group I’ve facilitated since the end of 2022), and the somatic practices that now anchor this emotional unfolding.

Victimhood is a decision to live without courage

~Tiziano Sguerso

So I have to grant a lot of acknowledgment to evolutionary astrology, not only to my teachers, Simon and Ari, but to the people who made this paradigm be—Dane Rudhyar, Jeffrey Wolf Green. I also want to acknowledge Gabor. I think it was through the somatic work in his workshops that something was unlocked and made that happen—despite the pain I knew I would feel.

Gabor's Compassionate Inquiry’s approach sent me into shock in 2021, when I discovered—during one of his workshops—that my cellular memory had kept track of my mother’s nervous system. My mom was pregnant with me when my elder brother developed asthma. She mirrored his ailment, becoming asthmatic herself. I must have absorbed all her fears, all the protective signals she was sending—before I was even born. Then, when I arrived strong and healthy, her attention shifted to him. He needed more. I felt my first abandonment. Later, when I was eight, my father died suddenly. That was the second. These early imprints shaped me into someone who over-pleased, who fused with others’ needs, who disappeared inside caretaking. The nervous system kept the score. What I experienced through Gabor’s work was the unlocking of ancestral imprint through embodied awareness. A recognition that what I had carried all along didn’t begin with me, but it lived in me. And I was ready to release it. My astrology signature proves this, but that would be another article.

Lineage, Memory, and the Shape of Love

The little girl and my dad

Lately I’ve been watching these videos of little girls with their dads—tender, playful moments where the father is present, flirting with her spirit, and the girl feels seen. They touch me so deeply. There’s something about that kind of innocence and safety that goes right into my heart. It made me realize—I want to go back to that place. Not to the past, but to the feeling. The way I once related to my dad. That longing to return to innocence led me deeper into the lineage I had once blocked out entirely. My mom had a similar story, a tragic one, and these days I’ve been working on that imprint. I want to find how to relate to him again—but as an adult.

My grandfather and the kidney stones

In an earlier article, I shared this experience: My mother and I didn’t grow up with a father. There’s a long line of absence there. And on the first anniversary of her death, I did a very short session—less than 30 minutes—with someone in Australia named Tiziano. He practices something called Language of the Soul, a form of systemic therapy and family constellations. He asked me to connect to my grandfather, which I had never even considered before. I don’t remember exactly what he said—but the next day, I had intense pain in my back. It turned out to be kidney stones. I dissolved them naturally. At the time, I thought—maybe this is connected. But it wasn’t until nine months later—just recently—that I realized how deeply connected it really was.

He tapped into the Morphogenetic Field. According to Rupert Sheldrake’s theory, every system—whether a cell, a body, a family, or a species—contains a memory field that holds the imprint of all past forms and experiences. This field shapes the present through resonance with ancestral patterns. We entered that field as a living reality—an ancestral signal moving through sensation, breath, and presence. It revealed what had been held in silence for generations. Both time and space dissolved. A profound healing was activated…

The greatest illusions require the deepest strength to see through them. As Útgarða-Loki tells Thor, strength is not what it seemed:

"I shall tell you the truth, now you are out of my castle, and if I live and have a say, you shall never enter it again, and I would indeed never have let you in if I had known your strength beforehand, and you were very close to bringing us a great disaster. You see, I cast delusions on you, so that it was I who met you at first in the forest; and when you tried to untie the food bag, I had tied it with a magic wire, and you did not find out how to untie it. [...] And when you drank from the horn and thought it slow to sink, I dare say that was a miracle I had not expected to be possible; the far end of the horn was submerged in the sea, but you did not see that. Now, when you come to the shore, you will see what kind of sip you drank from the sea; there is now a sandy beach where there used to be water."

~ Excerpt from The Saga of Thorstein, Viking’s Son (Þorsteins þáttr Víkingssonar), translated from Old Norse. Part of the fornaldarsögur Norðurlanda (Legendary Sagas of the North), likely composed in the 13th–14th century. The scene mirrors motifs found in Gylfaginning of the Prose Edda, notably the deceptions of Útgarða-Loki.

I went to the Bitcoin Conference in Vegas with one intention: to be a fly on the wall. Since I was neither speaking nor volunteering—and I went last minute—I just wanted to feel the frequency in the room. I wanted to observe the behavior of individuals and institutions, and not only listen to what was said, but perceive the intention behind those words. Something I learned when I was training in Tai Ji Quan.

I brought some reflections. I understand that right now there’s a crack in the matrix, and if we are really tuning into its frequency, we can see what’s not working—and that’s my quest right now.

This is not financial advice. It’s an observation of behavior. A way I read frequency—or as I call it, reading Bitcoin sentiment or wavelength. And an invitation—if you use money, if you’ve ever felt the system is rigged, or if you’re simply curious—to pay attention.

You don’t have to HODL Bitcoin to understand that the monetary landscape is shifting fast. And the more informed you are, the less likely you are to get played.

I speak directly to people who may not be deep into the Bitcoin space (yet). I want to explain why all this matters—as an invitation to get curious and start stacking. The race is real.

If you’re already inside the space, you’ll find information (astrological and psychological) here that helps contextualize what’s unfolding. If you’re just curious, this is for you too.

Money makes the world go round. Whether we’re saving in Bitcoin, metals or debased currency or not, we’re all part of the monetary system—and that system is broken and shifting at an accelerated pace. The more informed you are, the more grounded you’ll be.

The landscape is changing fast. 2025 is not like 2020. This is a different terrain, and the terrain is defining the future.

If you’ve ever thought about saving—about how to protect your energy, your labor, your value, your time—this is the moment to begin.

And not in just any money. In H-A-R-D money.

There’s nothing stopping this train, as Lynn Alden says.

"For the next ten years, we’re going to be running very large fiscal deficits. So, the only way to protect yourself from that situation is to own the highest-quality scarce assets. Of course, the one we all like here is Bitcoin." ~Lyn Alden

Weapon or tool?

From back in January, I tracked a major shift. Bitcoin’s progressed Sun would enter 0° Aquarius in mid-March. Pluto has been hovering between 0–3° right there—conjunct the Sun and Jupiter—activating a new cycle of purpose. This is the sixth house in the natal (event) chart, and it carries a very precise question:

Is Bitcoin here to serve? If so, how?

Pluto brings a total transformation of the narrative. It strips anything fake. And Jupiter in progression, conjunct the Sun, suggests that Bitcoin is becoming a vessel for a greater story. But that doesn’t mean the story is benevolent.

Progressed Jupiter is in a balsamic phase to the North Node in Aquarius, meaning it is closing out an old philosophical arc and gestating something entirely new. But new doesn’t always mean aligned. It’s important to understand that the conjunctions between progressed Jupiter, the Sun, and transiting Pluto represent an implosion—death and rebirth, realignment by force.

At the same time, Saturn and Uranus are still very active in Bitcoin’s natal chart—Saturn in the second house and Uranus in the eighth. These placements speak about shared and individual values, goods, resources—and yes, money.

Saturn in Virgo suggests a need for precision, for integrity in what is held and claimed. Discernment and time wait for the ripe opportunity to invest in values.

Uranus in Pisces suggests the risk of dissolution and confusion around boundaries and definitions—what this technology could bring, and how close it is to its purpose. Or is it a delusional technology used against humankind? 🤔

Earlier this year, transiting Saturn crossed over Bitcoin’s natal Uranus. It also opposed Bitcoin’s natal Saturn—a confrontation between structure and surrender, asking whether the foundational values still hold, or whether they’ve been blurred by outside agendas. That created an emphasis on this dissolution—the dilution of value.

Together, Saturn and Uranus form a native tension: structure versus disruption, containment versus innovation. That tension has been activated. And you’ll see below why Tether now plays a major role in this structure.

BTW, Bitcoin is not passive; it is the sum of all the individuals who are in relationship with it.

“So this is when Tether was only used for cryptocurrency trading. This is the pandemic, and this is basically the growth of USDT during the pandemic times, because from being just a product used for cryptocurrency trading, it became the dollar for hundreds of millions of people.”

~Paolo Ardoino, “Why Tether Loves Bitcoin”, Bitcoin 2025 Conference (Las Vegas)

Tether’s chart (11/20/2014) shows Mars in a new phase to Pluto in Capricorn, squaring the nodes on the Aries–Libra axis. This is a cardinal initiation—a forceful institutional birth with the potential for deep transformation. Uranus squares Pluto, underscoring the disruptive nature of its emergence. And Pluto, by degree, is now conjunct Bitcoin’s Sun.

There’s more: Mars conjoins the Black Moon Lilith and Juno in the 6th house—hinting at hidden contracts and possibly shadow agendas. Uranus squares Bitcoin’s Sun but trines the nodes. Saturn squares Neptune and Venus—a complex relationship that questions the structure and definition of either a fantastic asset, or it may distort the value.

Is Tether a weapon to be reckoned with—or the tool we need for complete economic annihilation?

The question is: How and who does Bitcoin serve now?

I emphasize the danger of co-optation—that Bitcoin, while originally designed as sovereign money, might be repackaged as collateral and hedged by larger institutions, countries, and corporations. It is being used to build speculative financial products like stablecoins.

What I realized at the conference is that stablecoins are actually going to be used to print more fake money—so more Bitcoin can be accumulated.

A lot of people are going to be locked into lending instruments that create a yield but extract a value. Bitcoin is being positioned as pristine collateral—leaving behind individual sovereignty for institutional leverage.

And so I ask again: Is this expansion aligned with decentralization? Or is it the inflation of Bitcoin’s narrative to reinforce institutional strategies that dilute its original intent?

And is it being used as a weapon, not as a technology?

Because apparently we’re not happy—and more war is on the horizon.

"Bitcoin is the hardest money ever invented: growth in its value cannot possibly increase its…

“Space and time form a psychological a priori, an aspect of the archetypal quaternity which is altogether indispensable for acquiring knowledge of physical processes.” — Carl Jung

Hey, how’s everybody?-How to trust him [within], not them [the noise]

This week, I’m going to go geeky. Geeky all the way.This article is going to be about charts and small talk it is quite long so pace yourself, because I want you to look at these charts and try to make sense in your life. This is more or less like a mirror. You can then go and read more stuff. I’m going to base all the charts on The Fourth Turning, Pluto in Evolutionary Astrology, Aion (αἰών)—symbolic time, and the dimension of meaning that moves beyond physical matter in Biogeometry as frequency.

I’m talking about generations. I’m talking about cycles ending and starting. And I’m doing all this because by this summer, we’re going to have all the bigger planets changing signs. This signals a new reset. They’re going to be temporarily in a new sign until the fall—when they’ll all go back to the previous sign, Saturn and Neptune will re enter Pisces and Uranus will go back briefly to Taurus, except Jupiter in Cancer and Pluto in Aquarius. And this reminds us that there are probably things we have to revise before we move into the next P-H-A-S-E.

The Fourth Turning: Cycles of Collapse and Renewal

“Fourth Turnings save us from complacency. They force our society to recivilize.”“History is seasonal, and winter is coming.”

Let’s start with The Fourth Turning, a book by William Strauss and Neil Howe that tracks the rhythm of history in four-part cycles called turnings.

Turning comes from the Old English turnian—to rotate, revolve, or pivot.

Each cycle—or saeculum—meaning “a long human life” or “a generation”—lasts about 80 to 100 years, roughly a human lifespan.

It moves through four phases: High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis.

We’re now deep into the fourth one: Crisis.From the Greek krisis—a decision, a fork in the road. A judgment point. They call it a time of collapse and rebirth where institutions scramble and a new order emerges.

This was done over studies that they traced over 500 years of Anglo-American history and saw the same pulse repeating. History is seasonal, they wrote, and winter is coming.

Each generation plays a role, like actors in a myth: the prophets—missionaries, the nomads—survivors, the heroes—rebuilders, and the artists—harmonizers. It’s so very archetypal. You cannot predetermine because things unfold with the free will of the people. However, this can be read as the sentiment of humanity through cycles.

Recognizing where we are in the cycle gives us a clarity about what’s fading, what’s rising, and what we’re actually here to...

“Yet the great weakness of linear time is that it obliterates time’s recurrence and thus cuts people off from the eternal—whether in nature, in each other, or in ourselves.”

“When you don’t follow your nature there is a hole in the universe where you were supposed to be.”― Dane Rudhyar

Evolutionary Astrology

It’s called that because it tracks the evolution of the soul. The term was coined by Jeffrey Wolf Green, who defined it as the study of the soul’s journey over lifetimes. He worked with Pluto as the main symbol of that journey—Pluto as the force that compels evolution through necessity.

Jeffrey used to say, “Pluto is the agent of the Soul’s evolutionary journey. Where there is resistance, Pluto will create pressure.”

Pluto shows where we hold unconscious attachments—to power, to survival strategies, to identities we’ve outgrown. It also shows the kind of loss or confrontation we’re here to metabolize. It always brings a theme of power and disempowerment.

So the placement of Pluto in your chart—by sign, by house, and by its ruler, and especially by its relationship to the lunar nodes—shows the place in this lifetime where you’ve been asked to reclaim your own power.

In Evolutionary Astrology, the polarity point is key. Pluto shows where we are disempowered. The opposite sign shows the medicine, or the way out.

For example, if you were born with Pluto in Scorpio—the millennial generation from 1983 to 1995—then your integration path lives in Taurus. Self-sufficiency. Resource stewardship. Value embodiment.

That’s why so many millennials have become the emotional and philosophical backbone of Bitcoin, and have also approached it through psychedelics or other forms of integration that go straight to the core of the problem. They’re interested in the embodiment of common sense—integrating lifestyle with purpose and service. (I’m generalizing here.) They carry the soul memory of collapse, betrayal, and control, and they’re here to root into something unshakable.

What happens if you’re not a millennial? Like me—I have the Moon in Scorpio, and my Pluto is in the 8th house, so I carry this signature. That’s why I align so well with this generation. When I realized this around 12 years ago, I was so happy to find my kin. Until then, with Pluto in Virgo, I was too focused on trying to find the perfection in the imperfect.

Mind you, there are other characteristics I’ve found relevant in Bitcoiners—or in people moving toward rebuilding a civilization where the money problem is solved. But that’s another article, my friends…

Before we go into the specific tables—Pluto generations, Uranus timelines, Jupiter–Saturn conjunctions—here’s the meta-frame.

Three overlapping arcs.

One threshold decade.

This is the convergence zone we’re living through:

Fourth Turning + Uranus + Jupiter–Saturn (Convergence Summary – Expanded)

• Each Fourth Turning lasts ~80–100 years, aligning closely with one Uranus orbit. These moments of Crisis bring institutional collapse, generational reckoning, and potential rebirth.

• Generational archetypes cycle in order: Prophet (visionaries), Nomad (pragmatists), Hero (builders), Artist (harmonizers). Each generation enters at a different phase, shaped by the prior.

• Jupiter–Saturn conjunctions happen every ~20 years and define the scaffolding of societal values and systems. Jupiter seeks meaning and vision. Saturn consolidates form and responsibility. Together, they re-birth cultural institutions—education, governance, legal norms.

• Their oppositions (~10 years after each conjunction) mark cultural tension, often triggering shifts or reckonings in ideology, structure, or belief.

• Uranus orbits every ~84 years. In Gemini, it brings cognitive revolution and ideological bifurcation. It uproots how we think, speak, and construct narratives. This is what is coming…

• The 2020 Jupiter–Saturn conjunction in Aquarius launched a new 200-year Air Trigon. Innovation, networks, abstraction, and decentralization now drive civilizational design. Material power is no longer primary.

• By 2044, Pluto will complete its passage through Aquarius. Between now and then, humanity may witness either the greatest liberation—or the most complete disintegration—of its narrative coherence.

• 2020–2033: A convergence zone of historical arcs. Fourth Turning climax. Uranus in Gemini returns. Jupiter–Saturn begins the Air era. If there’s a new human emerging, we are inside its threshold moment. and last but not least Saturn-Neptune reset at 0-1° of Aries, resetting the dial.

Social Ideologies and Structural Shifts (36-Year Rhythms) Saturn architects reality. Neptune dissolves boundaries. Together they reveal epochs of collapse, re-imagination, and reform—seen here across revolutions, treaties, and ideological mutations,…
