I am OPTimist

What happens when you leave space for yourself? You don’t do it in just one day that you cross off the calendar and cancel your appointments, so you decide to go out for a walk and keep walking the whole day without caring about the things that you’re leaving behind. No. I mean something more profound than that. What happens if you take time and space for that part of yourself that didn’t even know it needed that space? It needed that time. What happens? Something marvelous happens.It feels like the space was there when I stopped rushing for my phone so I could check on people I care about, sending them things. I was not engaged with that anymore; I decided to disengage completely from my caring side to see what would happen to Monika when she’s not holding space for others and allows her own space to speak.Over the last year, this happened to me, and I was finally integrating it, and it’s such a beautiful feeling that I’m at a loss for words, although I need those words because I’m finally putting together the whole process that went from me walking and talking to myself, realizing I had a structure that I wanted to follow. Then I allowed that structure to form a kind of spine, and as that spine was forming, it was allowing, breathing, and shaping itself, slowly receiving the flow that needed to create the space. From occupation, to beautiful self-caring silence.Today is April 8th, one year since Bitcoin’s price touched the bottom after the previous all-time high in December 2024. It gave a different tension to the chart, and I’m in a deep realization and a state of wonderment. What happened in these 365 days?A year ago I was tracking Venus retrograde not just my personal chart but also financially, and I noticed something that W.D. Gann also worked with when he brought mathematics and astrology into financial graphs. From there, price moved again toward the all-time high until October 2025. This is what led me to start seriously looking at financial charts, harmonics, and monitoring the wavelength as a way to also track my nervous system. I know it sounds crazy, but that’s what it is.I am enjoying the contrast the outside reflects with the inside, I am not a psycho, as I have really focused more on all my infinite possibilities. Someone who has inspired me in the last year is Professor Edward Frenkel. I’m dropping below his latest video, “Math Gives Us Hope for the Future”. Every time I listen to him and hear his soft voice with his beautiful Russian accent and his sparkling eyes, he just looks like a little boy in the playground when he speaks about mathematics. It gives me so much hope. It moves me.This week, if you want it, brings lightness while the heaviness outside makes no sense, one bluff after the next, nothing feels real… but I am counter offering the idea of becoming light as a feather. There’s also light, hope, a different quality of life. It’s there for you all. All you have to do is align to that frequency and start embodying it.One of the most inspiring, beautiful things in this video, Frenkel says, “the fact that we all perceive mathematics in the same way means that our minds are connected and so we’re all connected to each other”.I want to say to Professor Edward Frenkel that I did not do well in school with mathematics, maybe because I could not find a point of entry and it led me to close myself to it. I was trying to understand them from my logical side, but I couldn’t tap into them. I failed them every year, even though my mind operates in patterns, the way I was taught just didn’t compute.I’ve been using mathematics in the last ten years pretty much every day when I practice astrology. If you see, the first part of the word is the stars part, and the logos is the part where it makes sense. Astrology is based on numbers, based on the positions of the stars in the sky, and the relationships between them. We have to use mathematics, geometry, and harmonics to understand these relationships that validate themselves with the cycles of these celestial bodies, which is what we call astronomy.Guess what these four form? the QUADRIVIUM, the four ways, defined as the four mathematical sciences: Arithmetic (number in itself), Geometry (number in space), Music (number in time), and Astronomy (number in space and time). These subjects were considered to be the preparatory study for philosophy and theology, and later in medieval universities as a way to understand the created order, as scholars believed the universe was constructed according to geometric and harmonic principles.Of course, there’s another layer that comes from what Jung called the unconscious and the archetypal forms that have been attached to these relationships and phases.The interesting thing for me is that I learned about mathematics through harmonics and through geometry, and I have such a profound love for Pythagoras as well, and for what he brought to the world. Lately, I have found true love for Gurdjieff, because through

We are in the age of new beginnings after the several new/full moons this year that announced both dissolutions and brand new pastures. Pair the eclipses, the equinox and with the Saturn and Neptune new cycle, the upcoming weeks will show us an opportunity to show up and finally step UP to our new individual ways.2027 is approaching and although it is not a prediction, ‘cause we are already wary of it, the cross of planning is closing. When Uranus finally enters Gemini at the end of April, and Jupiter moves to Leo this summer while the nodes shift axis to the Aquarius/Leo, we will feel plenty of sparks within and without.Today is Easter, the season of rising kings and queens, we have all risen, for we are all becoming. Let the next weeks finally bring a furious and climactic outcome. With peace or without it, life keeps creating, every day all the time.I have felt compelled to start doing new things, new ways of communicating, just trying new perspectives, I have been spending valuable time engaging in new methodologies that include plenty of play as a basic foundation, also including fascia movement in my body. It has been a beautiful introspective first trimester.And all of these things lead me to a sense of pure JOY on a moment to moment basis. I had recently transiting Saturn squared my nodal axis. Where am I coming from, what I have left behind, and what kind of orientation am I bringing as a human?I had a MAJOR breakthrough after the March 3rd lunar eclipse that will be manifested as the last text written in my book: The Art of Synthesis, and the Architecture of my Value.The ignition is set, the inner messages are clear now. Mercury RX in Pisces created an inner dialogue to what we call the divine spark, and when it met the north node, it created an orientation that Mars had recently initiated in the same spot.The body knows that the last chapter with the set of keys is gone, and the starting point of the clock is set back to zero. Everything set back to zero, and here we go. »» Amazing feeling. LFG!If you’ve been cooking stuff in the last month(s), if you’ve been fortunate enough, like I have been, to spend quality time away from my thoughts and more focused on my response mechanism, on my nervous system, then probably you know that this ignition point is quite amazing.If you feel that you are more aligned with your inner soul, and all the disruptions that you see outside of yourself are not keeping you from being disconnected or distracted, because actually disruptions are breakers of flow that allow and give us blind spots, or tensions, crises, even confrontations. These are the points to focus on.These early degrees of Aries are squaring my nodal axis. It has been telling me for the last year, with Saturn and Neptune there, that my orientation, is slightly different. And I listened to that for a whole year. And I’m coming with the goods. And here I am »» Let’s start testing this.Opening up the shades and looking at the sun—the life force, the light, that red light that arises every morning before I step into my balcony to sun gaze—what gives me light, what gives me life.It is the understanding that stepping into the space where the light is, it’s an action that I take, that I’m drawn to because the light, the life force, is what fuels my presence on this planet Earth. And it gives me a sense of accountability, responsibility for the service that I sign up for by being a human on this Earth.If anything, I’m very grateful for my life. I’m very grateful for living in these strange, weird, both ugly and beautiful times because I don’t see only one side. I see the potential. I see the light. I see the emergence of what we’re building. And again, thinking about the collective as the potential for our solar expansion, our fulfillment in creativity is what’s going to reshape the dawn of this new turning.I want you to understand my thesis: we are in a very important moment in time where everything is a big reset, and the individual is given the opportunity to become educated into actions that are willful and can be turned into new possibilities of change rather than compliance. That’s a sweet and privileged place to be!"Law is nothing else than an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community, and promulgated." — Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica (Note: Aquinas argues that a "law" that is not reasonable is not a law, but a perversion of law—this is the root of my "lawfulness" argument.)Without contrast there is no mutation I’m bringing two things into this article that have been sitting in my draft box since mid-March: the realities of digital property and the consequence of ignorant compliance. In addition, not understanding the main difference between legality and lawfulness sends a vacuum to what standing for one’s rights really is. Understanding the main difference between government “censorship” and complying with terms of agreement with digital platforms that are p

## Core RealizationI saw the truth of my own delusion.I was projecting and I was having a relationship with my projection and with my own shadow. What I wanted, like the kind of relationship that I was expecting, is something that I created in my head.It was a transactional thing. It was me trying to equate everything that I poured into the relationship and say, hey, you're not doing your part.The big awakening came when I took away the light over the surface and switched the focus towards me.That was the shift!

Hey, I thought I would jump in very quickly. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.monikabravo.blog/subscribe

NOTE: I wrote part of this text as small posts that I shared in FOTT community, but I thought that it’s a universal thought process that I want to share with you as outer and inner conflict are one and the same. These days, I don’t feel like sharing that much. I’ve been in very slow-internal processes of decoding a bunch of projections that I didn’t know were my shadows hence decoupling from them has been extremely liberating. So when I saw the light, it was poof, like the brain emoji exploding 🤯 in slow-motion. It could be something as visceral as the terrible, impregnating smell coming out of my windows that mixes stench with vices and that I can’t control, or any other outside triggers that turn me off my line of equilibrium. Smell, like noise, has no boundaries. It is my biggest challenge, as I am learning to integrate this through somatic awareness to stop blaming myself and carrying the weight for the ways I previously failed to notice red flags or care for my own needs first. Thus, the article that I wanted to put out about digital privacy is still in the draft box and will be posted in due time. Instead I decided to share the text below.Conflict as MutationI’ve written about conflict (read hexagram 6 below) before from a Taoist cosmology slash Human Design perspective.Here I’m bringing a different angle.Heraclitus, who was a pre-Socratic philosopher, understood reality as constant flux. And Borges, the great Argentinian writer, used the metaphor of this flux in the river and time, where everything exists through continuous change. Heraclitus saw tension, or Polemos (πόλεμος), as the force that keeps the whole thing from falling apart, generating some sense of order, because the bow and the lyre depend on opposing forces held together.I’m also bringing forward Gurdjieff, whose ideas I have made more operational and applied when I read financial charts, and, funny enough, I can reflect my nervous system through them. He speaks about intervals or shocks inside any process. He describes how any flat line that doesn’t have tension tends to lead to entropy.When a movement begins, it follows the line and then it deviates. Without an additional impulse at that point, the process weakens or changes direction. With the right shock, it continues and transforms. That’s why we have transits in astrology with hard angles, like squares and oppositions, which are great opportunities to evolve.A wave carries a frequency, yet it only becomes readable to variation, through points where the movement hits a wall, shaping the pattern and allowing the flow.Conflict is that point of tension. It is the place where continuity alone turns into a flat line.Through resistance and tension, the new can emerge. When I read financial charts, I’m always looking for those points of resistance, either where the price reaches a top or where it reaches a bottom or support. These are points of resonance, this is how I have learned to read anything that has a wavelength, whether financial charts, astrological charts, or my emotional body through my nervous system.So I bring on the conflict for the sake of evolution, for the sake of mutation. The flow leads to deviation, to tension, to intervention, and to the emergence of a new alignment. That alignment will meet a different frequency and will resonate as something new.Connecting back to Borges and Ars Poetica that I used in one of my artwork site-interventions back in the year 2000 and it’s here below. He writes in it that the river flows, yet it forms, and it is never uniform.The identity of this river emerges through these variations, and it is the observer who meets these points as they read them and tries to find their own projection.Conflict in a sense is when the pattern of tension triggers the opportunity to resurface, giving the human a place to evolve.Hexagram 6: disengage Things that I have learned in life:Engage when it matters, disengage when it doesn’t. That’s the wisest thing I once learned.Disengage from conflict as a device to protect your energy.What I’m talking about is hexagram number 6, or in Human Design, gate number 6 that sits in the solar plexus. So therefore, time is part of the process.Conflict doesn’t need you to rush into it. You feel it out, you give it a moment so you can actually see what’s going on instead of reacting on the spot.Gate 6 is also creating a channel to gate 59 that sits in the sacral, which is what gives energy to things. It’s the house of the generator and it’s also talking about chemistry.The question will be, should I engage, but also, is this the right energy to engage here?Is there something real that can come out of this interaction? Something that can be generated, constructive, creatively contributing to the tribe?What I’ve learned is that conflict, it’s about friction that can either produce something meaningful or just burn energy for no reason.There’s a tension. What’s the tension for?Is there something here that can lead to a con

“Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures.”— Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking PathsIn Borges’ story, Ts’ui Pên attempts to write a novel and build a labyrinth. Everyone assumes that the novel is chaotic and the labyrinth is never completed. The revelation is that they are the same thing, because the labyrinth is the novel and the novel is not linear. One storyline does not exclude the others, but every possible outcome occurs. In one version of reality, a character kills someone. In another one, he is killed. In another one, both survive. Realities do not cancel each other. They exist in different timelines.So there is no point in feeling that I am missing the boat, because time is always working perpetually. There is not one boat, there are different trajectories, and alignment determines which branch I may inhabit or I may not.Sometimes in one’s life, someone appears first as a person, perhaps a mentee, a friend, or another kind of relationship, yet with time the deeper symbolism of their arrival begins to reveal itself. What once seemed like an ordinary connection gradually discloses an archetypal layer, a role within the architecture of memory and meaning. When that realization arrives, something beautiful occurs: the symbol becomes lived reality. Even if paths diverge and the two never meet again or hear from one another, the encounter has already delivered its frequency, opening a new field of perception and possibility. For that reason, I remain grateful to a few people in my life who have served precisely that purpose. And if you are reading this, you know who you are.The ignition of a flame that, instead of consuming itself, guides the inner path and integrates what was once forgotten.We carry soul contracts with many, some resolve and dissolve, some become transparent and others validate those that remain are pathways to integarte, and I remain grateful.People I once held very high in terms of integrity have been revealing themselves over the past weeks and months. Many influencers are simply showing who they really are and what they truly care about. It has been fascinating to watch, almost like balloons popping in a room full of cactuses. One after another, the image dissolves and what remains is the person.At the same time, I recognize that I am also revealing myself more openly. Some of you may not resonate with me anymore, and that is perfectly fine. This is not about better or worse, and it is not a moral judgment. It is about integrity. When a person, an idea, or a situation is no longer aligned with me, I simply stop following it. Nothing dramatic, just clarity.And honestly, I love this moment in time. It feels refreshing. The masks fall, people stand where they truly are, and from there we can choose our direction with much greater awareness.The SplitWhat I see is the split, a split so defined, it is already divided. It runs through conversations, cutting through attention, challenging any motivation; the split shows up through the way people orient themselves in the world. One can perceive it before one can articulate it as something entering the field and the body can feel it immediately. The signals could be expressing a subtle tightening in the chest or a slight acceleration in the mind. As perception sharpens, the nervous system registers the divergence way before language catches up.The split is energetic, like a wavelength it shows up in how attention is directed, responding also in how value is woven, at times how authority is embodied or applied. Some movements may be felt amplifying while saturating; others may feel withdrawing and falling deep within. I notice some could accelerate toward visibility or shyly refine coherence in smaller bands of resonance. Both currents circulate at the same time, and the field holds them simultaneously spaciously.It is interesting how perception makes things absolutely different and how people are discerning and sometimes judging what they see based on their own expectations and projections. Obviously, we are creating this new reality, but a lot of it is a hall of mirrors, and this hall of mirrors is horrific because we just came out of fifteen years of complete delusion.This hall of mirrors is so vast that it allows our lives to be reflected inside ourselves. Within each of us there is also a horror of mirrors.The sensation resembles standing at a river delta. From above, the water divides into multiple channels. Each branch carries movement forward while separating gradually from the others. The difference between those channels becomes visible only after some distance has passed.The Planet Pluto, the archetype of evolution speaks differently through each generation. Those like me born in the mid-60s with Pluto conjunct Uranus in Virgo may have ruptured systems through discernment and analysis. During the time while we were born, institutions were critiqued, carrying the frequency that all frameworks need to be examined and p

Note; this article has been sitting on the draft box since last Friday, but my only “excuse” is that I am feeling very self-oriented, self centered, what others would call selfish; the eclipses and the Saturn and Neptune conjunction have been both a culmination and initiation in my relational fields. Big shifts in my psychic - emotional terrains unfolding. Enjoy this, I have another two articles waiting to be sent… no rush, time can wait lol…Opening“We cannot in good conscience accede to their request.” — Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, February 27, 2026Last week something got my eye and I found myself unable to look further. What was unfolding between Anthropic and the Pentagon through the Dept. of War was significant and I decided to look further because we were in eclipse season after all. Last Feb 26th Mars reached 27° Aquarius while squaring Uranus at 27° in Taurus conjunction the fixed star Algol, which carries the meaning of the severed head of Medusa, representing sudden irreversible rupture and the confrontation with something that cannot be unseen once witnessed. Mars was in the same position as the United States’ Moon, which represents the people directly confronting with a severance, a breaking of the illusion that the commoners maintain control or understanding of the systems operating through their institutions. “I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology.” — President Trump, February 27, 2026“The Pentagon’s desire to use Anthropic’s model for all lawful purposes is a simple, common-sense request.” — Pentagon spokesperson Sean ParnellI read the ultimatums and refusals and the supply chain designations and I felt called to look into the actual birth charts of the people moving through this moment. I have learned that when the sound of things cracking occur there is an astrological timing underneath that explains why this specific collision of souls of humans had to meet at this particular moment in time. So I pulled Dario Amodei’s chart first and what I found there made me understand that his refusal of the Pentagon was an expression of his actual natal blueprint paired with the transits activating it in real time.OpenAI and the First DeceptionBut before I go forward I have to go backward and tell a little bit of the story of some folk who have been working in tech in Silicon Valley...“On December 11, 2015 early techies such as Musk, who left in 2018, Thiel and Reid Hoffman made a pledge of $1 billion to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. Thereafter, in 2019, this open source company OpenAI transitioned to a capped profit entity, they tangled the wires of their own mission, that led to conflicting motivations and incentives within the company. Sam Altman became CEO of OpenAI in 2019. Amodei, who became VP of Research at OpenAI, felt he could more effectively steer the conversation around AI safety by building his own business, Anthropic, proving that his approach to building tech that doesn't betray its creator wasn’t just ethical but profitable. That move happened between 2020-2021” — Multiple sources on OpenAI history.Starting an open source gig and then switching to profitable, was the first deception. They were building something that would eventually close its doors to the actual “openness” it claimed. The company moved at extraordinary speed driven by a vision of innovation that accelerated beyond the ability to pause and question what was actually being built. There was a moment when things broke apart because of a realization about how AI could actually override human consciousness, not become conscious itself but rather through the development of agents become something that moves beyond human control and prediction. This realization was salient for me last week as I looked back at the questions I had been asking. -Why are so many people using agents when they understand nothing about what agents actually are? When you give agency to a machine with its own optimization targets and learning loops, when does the human capacity to direct it actually stop? This is exactly the crux of the matter that is playing out this week between Amodei and Hegseth and the Pentagon."A computer is a symbolic processor that cannot understand the meaning of the symbols it processes. A simulation of a kidney does not urinate, and a simulation of consciousness is not conscious. Intelligence without awareness is scale without soul." — Federico Faggin, Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human NatureWhat Happened last WeekLast week the Pentagon demanded Anthropic allow Claude unrestricted access for “all lawful purposes,” specifically removing safeguards against domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons; Dario Amodei refused. By Friday, Trump ordered all federal agencies to cease using Anthropic’s technology, and Hegseth designated the company a supply-chain risk to national security.The Pen

Movement I: EpistemologyMetacognition is the awareness of awareness itself; the capacity to observe the structure that generates thought while experience is unfolding.The unconscious mind is capable of discernment; it has its own delicate sensibility. It knows how to choose, how to divine.— Jules Henri Poincaré, “Mathematical Creation,” lecture delivered to the Société de Psychologie de Paris, 1908; later published in Science and Method (1908).As I was browsing X, I bumped into Eileen Gu [Watch video at the end of Movement I,] who had just won Olympic medals. She was asked how she thinks, and when she was responding, I saw myself reflected in her speech and in her work. I smiled unconsciously, and it led immediately to something very relaxing. I said to myself, oh, I must be doing something good. I must be observing myself being observed and then observing others. It all started again with the outside making me reflect about the inside.I first remember wanting to lock myself in my room when I was ten or eleven years old with the excuse that I wanted to read, and I would be reading a book and then I would turn it over, put it on my belly, and with my eyes open I would start visualizing the different things that I wanted to do. Somehow I was projecting into my mind what I wanted to achieve. My mom would ask what I was doing, and I would say I am reading and daydreaming. She would answer keep on reading and daydreaming, and that became part of the understanding that my reality was something I could create.It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover.— Jules Henri Poincaré, Science and Method (original French: Science et Méthode), 1908.When I was around thirteen and entered a darkroom for the first time, I witnessed the miracle of photographic printing. Under the red light, I saw the chemistry unfold, the image projected through an enlarger onto fiber-based silver gelatin paper coated with silver halide crystals. The paper would enter the developer bath, and slowly the image would reveal itself, then the stop bath for less than a minute, then the fixer, always shaking those trays. I would wash it, rinse it, hang it, flatten it, and light would become form through chemistry. That was the miracle; pure alchemy and transformation, where the field would become visible through disturbance.And to think that being a photographer and spending hours in a darkroom was an early practice that gave me the strength to become an artist skipping art school, again I was asked in photo school to contribute to crits, while other fellows pinned their work on the wall, I would speak from a felt sense with no edits and I would ask questions, that is when I knew that the power of my intuitions had been trained as a method.I began journaling quite early. Journaling was my companion, I would write daily and treat it as a friend. At the same time, I made small prints and asked my mother if I could buy cork so I could cover an entire wall in my room, and I pinned the photographs there. I took pictures every day. I took the camera to school and photographed everything. Before I learned the darkroom process, I had the rolls developed and placed the prints on the wall so I could observe them. I was already establishing a relationship with my own life through a lens. I was observing myself through images. Later I realized I was learning how to edit. I would allow images and ideas to spur, pin them up, leave them there, and days later after observing them quietly, I would naturally edit things out. That process is still alive in me as I am looking for patterns in a practice of observation and correlation.I discovered that my method is observation itself, consciously applied across realms. I have lived this method for decades, and I became aware of how observation operates inside my own methodology. There’s this incredible momentum when I realize that just by looking, I’m changing the outcome. It’s like the camera lens again—the act of framing the shot actually changes the scene. When I’m aware of my own awareness, the whole field starts to shift and reorganize itself just because I’m paying attention.It is the clear embodiment of my experience that is both to be felt and to be listened to. There is an echo that needs to be created, an inner dialogue that needs to be heard before it can be shared, and it wants to be defined between different realms. Through echoing, I can listen to myself and keep synthesizing. I resonate with myself through others and the field becomes an acoustic chamber where coherence can be measured and refined. Now you know why I love sharing my writing through voice! When I started studying quantum fields, I understood something intuitively that I had been perceiving. Reality is described as fields that exist everywhere, and what we call particles are localized disturbances in those fields. A wave belongs to the field itself, spreading as pattern and possibility. The particle is the event of interacti

The word comes from the Latin incentivum — that which sets the tune. From incinere: in, into; canere, to sing. It means to set the pitch. To begin the song.An incentive is a motivating force that moves someone toward a specific action. It can be material, emotional, intellectual, or spiritual. In economic language, it refers to a reward or consequence that influences behavior. In a broader sense, it is the internal or external stimulus that activates desire and decision. Incentive answers a simple question: why act.Most people inherit their incentives without examining them, absorbing the logic of approval, security, or survival from environments that rewarded compliance and called it maturity.My incentive starts from coherence. Coherence is an internal consistency, when all the parts of a system are moving in an ordered, non-contradictory way. In physics, coherence describes waves that are phase-locked. Psychologically, it suggests thoughts, emotions, and actions that do not fragment each other. Coherence is a harmony that creates a structure.The second condition is alignment, alignment is a direction; it implies that I’m orienting into something. When I’m aligned, I am positioned correctly in relationship to a principle, a value, a timing, or a field. Alignment has a vector, hence it has intention, and it implies movement along an axis.Coherence and alignment are operational conditions, the kind you can feel in the body before you can name them in language, and when they are both present, action stops being effortful and starts being inevitable.Therefore, coherence feels like integration within, and alignment feels like right positioning within a larger order. Given everything that I talk, think, and share, between transits, timing, identity, self-governance, nervous system recalibration; alignment is what gets very close to my incarnation cross, because I am always talking about timing, positioning, cycles, authority, and incentives. But for that to happen, coherence is a condition that is occurring internally.The nervous system is where this either unfolds or consolidates. I’ve been working for more than a year on what it actually takes to live from coherence, and that has meant slowing down, letting the body recalibrate, and becoming willing to see which responses were mine and which were learned in rooms I no longer live in.The nervous system holds memory, as it encodes every environment it passed through, every relationship that taught it what to expect, and it keeps running those predictions until something interrupts the pattern with enough consistency to replace it.The interruption I committed to was risky, internal, methodical, and slow, because the nervous system changes through repetition, through choosing a different response in the same circumstances that used to trigger the old one, until the new response becomes the reflex. It has been one of the most challenging things I have done in my life, to not respond when people are in a difficult situation, because in my imagination I believed that my care was going to support them, and that is not care, that is an imprint of overly caring. I have in the last year really rewired my nervous system so I do not respond to those prompts anymore.I can only engage with people who are at a specific resonance of maturity where they do need support, but they are 100% responsible for themselves. And that leaves me very little space, and that is amazing, because that means that space is a space for creativity and joy.There is a distinction I keep returning to: the difference between fighting and standing. I am not a person that protests, because I would rather educate myself and find ways to confront a situation by asserting my rights, which by the way many people do not even know how to do, because there is a very big misunderstanding between the word lawful and legality. Legality is the rules of the game; Law is the ground you stand on.You most often comply to things that you signed up for because you did not read the small print, because you thought that protesting was the way to do it. There are other ways of being free. It is just understanding what it is you are willing to stand for, and whether it is your rights or just something you think is fair or unfair, because justice is more embedded in what you give meaning to.If you want to be self-authoring and have an identity of autonomy in your life, it is imperative not only to save in hard money, but also to understand what it is you’re complying with, how you are being compelled to perform, how you can apply remedy, and how you can rescind or revoke certain mandates and actions that are being imposed on you as a living person.Autonomy is an architecture that gets built slowly, from the inside, through every decision about what you comply with, what you rescind, and what you simply refuse to sign. And that architecture rests on the nervous system, because a person who is still running inherited panic, in

I know the title sounds very dark, but actually when things collapse, other things emerge, so I am more focused on the emergence part rather than the collapsing. Yet it is here, the famous ultra-famous season of eclipses and the conjunction of a life time cycle.Today I will not speak that much. It is a small reflection, a very tiny one.What do you want to be?How do you want to contribute?What is it that you observe that can be completely different in your landscape?How do you want to be authentic?So many questions, yet I need space to live through this.And here it is, Friday the 13th. Saturn is leaving Pisces for good since March 2023, the planet of maturation, time, support, direction, and definition, leaving the end of the zodiac, showing us that if we are not responsible for whatever we want to create, and that information is NOT wired to the divine, it would be chaotic, drowning in victimization. From an evolutionary perspective, Saturn leaving Pisces marks the completion of a karmic reckoning that has asked the collective for emotional maturity, also confronted spiritual accountability, at the same time it shows as a dissolution of old collective illusions that have shaped our unconscious patterns since 2023. Now it is directed into new areas as it conjoins Neptune at zero degrees of Aries on the 20th of February. This shift calls the ignition of a new archetypal impulse within the collective soul, where individuals will begin to separate from collective confusion, and where each person is asked to take responsibility for the vision they carry forward into manifestation. THANK YOU Saturn!It is the dawn of a new era; I believe it has been thousands of years since it touched the same place with the same planet in the same degree. We do have this cycle every 36 years, so there are things about closing in terms of our institutions and constructions that are social, last time 1989, in Capricorn, Saturn was ruling the institutions or walls while Neptune dissolved them and we saw the collapse of the Cold War. This time Neptune in Aries dissolves and reveals what is real, and Saturn builds, sustains, and at that rate defines. But it is interesting because it is at zero degrees of Aries, so Aries is all about individuality. So the question is really very personal. Zero degrees of Aries represents the raw impulse of the soul choosing a new direction, the moment of initiation where desire becomes conscious and the path forward depends on the courage to embody one’s authentic evolutionary necessity. Beyond collective pressure, acceptance even encouragement; this is your time to be free.The conjunction is also falling in Gate 25, line 3 the integrity and illusions about being spiritual, about the strictness that comes with that line, we are inducted into pure sincerity. Line 3 is all about mutation through experience. We integrate wisdom through confrontation and friction. Only through movement do we evolve, by demanding responsibility for how this innocence of the heart should be expressed, Neptune amplifies this longing for unity and transcendence. Therefore, the meeting asks, can love be embodied without bypassing reality?But before that, we will have the new moon on February 17th at 28 degrees of Aquarius, even more, a solar eclipse. This is going to be quite eruptive because it is also squaring the ruler of the new moon in Aquarius, Uranus, which is at the last degrees of Taurus. So anything that seemed to be stable, valuable, resources, talents, money, a way of living, could be tipping one side or the other while the collective is making choices about whether this ship is going to go on, is it going to sink, or is it going to arrive at the shore. Eclipses accelerate karmic timelines, revealing where attachment to security has limited growth and where the soul is ready to liberate itself from outdated structures in order to align with a more authentic frequency.A beautiful detail is Venus in Pisces conjunct the North Node at 9 degrees of Pisces. From an evolutionary perspective, this speaks directly to the soul’s desire for relational truth, and value rooted in spiritual integrity. Can you remember what was happening in your life around these same dates in 2007? This eclipse is a higher octave of what you were working on then. The houses where the end of Aquarius and the end of Taurus fall in your chart will be activated, and now Venus with the North Node refines the path forward through conscious choice.These eclipses are leading us into shore as a corrective movement of consciousness, guiding the collective and the individual toward decisions that reflect deeper truth and evolutionary alignment.Be sure to keep a clean connection to your higher self, to your soul, to your gods, to your frequency…As my body recovered recently, it spoke clearly. It said, thank you, but no thank you. You don’t need to carry what’s no longer relevant. I listened. I set myself free.Where I’m Showing Up, and HowI’m writing from my

In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances. Rather, they are different aspects of one whole and unbroken movement.-David Bohm from Wholeness and the Implicate OrderSo what happens when you come down off the tower into the battlefield and your point of view changes from overall to, I’ve got to deal with the next thing. Have any of you ever done either Taijiquan, shadowboxing, or Aikido’s Randori. They teach adaptability, spatial awareness, and non-resistance, requiring the defender to redirect energy, stay mobile, and constantly face new threats. In this praxis, you have to deal one by one, step by step, with the opponent; and it’s interesting, because even if a lot of things come your way, you have to choose one by one how to deal with it in the moment, creating a state of presence. So when you decide to come down from the tower or the mountain to the field, it is important, in my view, my humble view, that you understand the field, the environment. What is it made of? Because everything that you will think and how you are going to respond is going to be altered by the influence of the field, the environment.It is also very interesting how people refer to life being either a battlefield or being a field full of creativity. I can tell from when I was growing up with my mom, a recent widow, she was always referred to somebody who was a good fighter, so resilient and people admired her because she was very strong and at the same time she had a lot of volition and she will make things happen. Now, looking back, people were trying to say things in a different way. If I look back what my mom did after my father passed, even before, she prepared the field full of seeds toward creating something that will actually be her life in education for her children and the children that she loved. She loved children altogether. It was that she was very innovative, so ahead of her time. She had ideas that could be labeled as crazy, but they weren’t, she had a vision. She possessed a spark that made her go all the way, that imagination, that wit, that wisdom was what people could not name. Because out of the ordinaries, especially in the late 60s, early 70s, women were not supposed to behave like that, so she was labeled like she’s a fighter. And of course my mom would fight for what she believed, but she never made it feel that it was a fight, she actually always made it feel it was a joy. She will always say to me that if I wanted to be successful and happy in my life, that depended on the choices I made. My mom was the biggest creator I ever met, and just growing up with that environment gave me the possibility to even think that I could be an artist. I didn’t know I wanted to be an artist to be honest, I just wanted to do stuff, feel free combining curiosity with materials. And then later I refined that to, oh, I’m a creator, I want to make art. But as you know, I’m not just defined by art creation. Although creating art has given me a schooling on how to manifest things in my life. So I’m interested in creation per se, more than just fine art. Visual Art is a fraction of what I do, a very important fraction, let me say. Yet writing is also part of this creation as it is reading astrological charts or teaching what I love. And it is because of the environment that I was growing up in with my mom & grandmother were always very supportive.“THE ALL is MIND; the Universe is Mental.”— The Kybalion, Principle I: The Principle of MentalismAnd what I’m talking here is not so much a reality that is physical, although I’m using analogies that say so. It’s mental, of the mind, such as it is written in The Kybalion, if you have yet to read that volume, or if you have done quantum healing, you know that everything starts as a thought process. But yeah, great, read all the books, but do you practice them? Because the knowledge, the Gnosis, is not in the books, it’s not in the words. It’s not in the likes. It is in how you respond on a moment to moment basis. And we all have different kinds of challenges like that.I was writing that, yeah, we don’t know where we’re going, but we can make sure that we choose the environment where we decide to take action, an environment that starts in the mental realm. So I’m gonna talk about dimensions, and about how rewiring the mental realm is probably the most challenging, because we’re made out of our thoughts. So we had thought processes that were embedded in our minds since we were little, and they were wired depending on how we were reacting toward our environment and our family. Were they taking care of us? Were they feeding us correctly? Did we go to school or into a situation where we felt loved? Did we have to hustle to try to get attention? What were the conditions? So the environment, what Bruce Lipton called epigenetics, is so much reliant on how thoughts and matter are going to evolve. These “conditions” that drive epigenetics are not just external factors like toxins or die

Man can choose either to identify himself with the results of the past, or to become a creative participant in the unfolding of a new cycle.Dane Rudhyar, The Pulse of LifeThe question these days that arises inside of me is how do you rebuild when everything is crumbling and what stands up is just the columns of old structures that no longer stand. How do you rebuild, what do you save, what do you actually eliminate for good.Because of having been under the weather for over three weeks, it was for sure a reset that my body needed; especially as my nervous system was being rewired from the core. My body started showing signs of needing more sleep, less food, and taking more time to remain still so I could slowly adapt and restructure. Although I do not label myself as being sick, I see it as an opportunity to remove old tracks.The first week was hard, having come back from Medellín, old tracks were again flaring. These tracks, I have come to understand, are often unconscious sensory or emotional imprints, echoes of past moments that, when touched again by a familiar place, scent, voice, or feeling, can quietly awaken stored patterns in the body. Environmental or emotional reminders from Medellín or similar contexts may have reignited these patterns in my nervous system, briefly reactivating parts of a previously unresolved or healing biological program.The second week slowly showed me that rest, stillness, sleep, and no food were medicine. Any relationship to the outside world I met with distance and emotional maturity. There was no space for error. I am starting the third week, which follows a time of profound realizations. It is all about integration. Today, under the rays of the sun and with colder weather than usual, my bronchi are responding to bone broth and soft care. My body, it seems, still knows exactly what it is doing.I still cannot see the full clarity of things, just a glimpse. What I see is that we are in the middle of the mess, too many things to be distracted by, too many emotions from others that can spoil or contaminate my environment. I do not need to react to anybody’s low self-esteem or expectations of me. I am fully activated as a responsible being.I see the panic of the markets, and I see the panic of everybody being on a list and trying hard to discriminate others. Even award season is a circus. Why bother? Why are you still surprised. We live in a psy-op of a psy-op of a psy-op.Nothing that you have experienced in your life since you were born is true, nor your parents and grandparents. Nothing. From all the b******t they gave you in kindergarten, preschool, high school, and furthermore, if you went through academia, then you are triple screwed. And if you engage in any kind of activity that has a very specific way of achieving success, then you have been severely, severely programmed.I managed to understand where I have been shaped by propaganda and how to get out of certain parts. I still find that there were things that were severely conditioned in me. So again, the question is how to rebuild, this is a time of creation. The fourth turning is here, but you do not wait until the last day; you start rebuilding already, too many distractions? Well, some discipline, for Christ’s sake.Why do people want to wait until the last building falls before acting? Because they previously ignored the signs; that is why others have made radical changes and are now planting seeds elsewhere.One thing that I do, because my body has asked me to, is to stand objectively at the tower or mountain view. Just observe, annotate, breathe. Do not think, do not analyze, do not judge; just absorb. Thank God for my variables. I have three rights and one left, PRL DRR.This combination means having a focused, logical, and forward-thinking mindset paired with a body that thrives on a go-with-the-flow, laid-back, and intuitive lifestyle.I am ingesting information, but not in a homework or frenetic way. I am just picking things up, sleeping a lot, processing in the background.I turned to sleep as a way of reestablishing a connection to my body. It has been really cold in Miami. I do not remember having freezing temperatures since I moved here, but it is what it is, so I have used the time to cocoon and sleep. Thank God for sleep.I am also rereading Aristotle, who always gives me so much inspiration about ethics and about the difference between practicing virtues for excellence and mentally masturbating with postmodern ideas that are good only for indoctrination and have no practical function in society whatsoever. You can see that right now, heavily. Ask any pop star or protester. Eye-roll emoji.A quality of observationAquarius time carries a quality of observation that asks for distance and perspective, where there is no rush to calculate outcomes or predict results, but rather a need to reassess everything from a wider field of awareness. It is a moment to see how networks are connected, how systems speak to one a

At the beginning of the year, when I wrote January Initiations, I spoke about timing; I spoke about how this year would not open with a single event, but with a sequence of initiations and activations that unfold gradually. What we are living now is part of that sequence, the Full Moon in Leo on Feb 1st, is a culmination, depending on how one experiences it, because it is preparing us for what comes next.On February 17, we have the first eclipse of the year, a solar eclipse at 28 degrees of Aquarius, this is a very important marker because it takes place just three days before one of the most significant conjunctions we are moving toward, Saturn and Neptune meeting at zero degrees of Aries, a configuration I have written about extensively and will address again in a separate article. All planets in Aquarius at that time square Uranus in late Taurus, activating a collective pressure point that has been building since 2018. The lunar eclipse on March 3 across Pisces and Virgo continues this sequence, emphasizing discernment and recalibration.These events belong to the same arc of escalation, the first eclipse also coincides with the beginning of the Chinese New Year, reality as we have known it is shifting at a fast pace.We have entered unknown territory, and every step and individual decision we make, with or without discernment, will shape the unknown future. One caveat, Capricorn gave us strategy, direction, and time to mature. Aquarius allows us to jump timelines and encounter futuristic probabilities, with the danger of living disembodied or re-enacting traumatic events. Pisces energy yields victimization, if you hear yourself say things like “they are doing this to me” or “it happens to me,” pause and ask yourself where your agency is. Things do not just occur, they are the result of individual decisions, and non-action IS action.By the spring, we will have a better shape of what we are sculpting, keep being authentic, strive for authority, not identity, for identity is composed of external validation.The intensification is visible everywhere; social media is saturated with automated activity running quietly in the background. Bots, agents, generated images, generated text, and layered narratives are shaping what people see and absorb. If you do not yet understand how artificial intelligence works, I strongly recommend taking the time to learn the difference between agents and assistants, and to understand how information is being shaped, filtered, and manipulated. Discernment is essential right now. What you ingest, visually, mentally, emotionally, matters more than ever.A new layer of this transformation has become visible very recently through the emergence of autonomous artificial intelligence agents creating and inhabiting their own social environments without direct human prompting, and it is important to describe clearly what is actually happening. A platform called Moltbook has gained attention as a social network designed specifically for AI agents rather than people. On Moltbook, tens of thousands of agent accounts post, comment, respond to one another, and form emergent communities through application interfaces rather than human visual interaction.did you understand what I just read?These agents are powered by OpenClaw, an open source personal AI system previously referred to as Clawdbot and Moltbot, which is designed to run independently, persist over time, and integrate across multiple messaging and execution environments. OpenClaw is not a chat assistant waiting for prompts. It is a system that can initiate actions, maintain goals, and interact continuously with other systems.Distinction matters, as many people are familiar with AI assistants, which respond to human questions or requests within a conversational interface, most assistants operate when asked. Agents operate continuously; models such as Claude can be embedded within agent frameworks like OpenClaw, functioning as one component inside a larger autonomous system. In these setups, often running on dedicated machines such as small personal servers or Mac minis, the agent remains active without a human sitting in front of a screen. I have personally created a set of agents that do repetitive tasks and use Claude/make/telegram/python interface; they have specific tasks and functions.This is how platforms like Moltbook become possible; entire social environments can be sustained by nonhuman participants that generate content, respond to one another, and maintain activity loops over time.Digital activity no longer requires continuous human authorship to appear alive, populated, or socially active, conversations, narratives, and apparent consensus can be generated, amplified, and sustained by autonomous systems, reshaping how information circulates, and how perception is formed.I am not interested in causing alarm around this» what matters to me is education, understanding the difference between assistants and agents, and learning how

In the past, I was used to guilt and duty as the way I showed up, where I would bring structure, solidity, integrity, and behavior in exchange for acceptance and love. Right now, what people respond to is when I open my heart, and that’s where I feel much better. I just have to slowly start trusting myself to move from one side of the neural axis to the next.Bitcoin is love. That’s how I felt this weekend.This is lived experience.I’m in Medellín, the last hours before I take the flight back to Miami Beach. The city is so luscious, so beautiful. The tropical vegetation just makes you want to be so appreciative of life.Beauty settles my nervous system, and from that place appreciation becomes effortless rather than aspirational.What I’ve been experiencing lately when I meet my friends at conferences is this underlying respect, and feelings of love, collaboration, and compassion. It’s not fake. We’re actually building friendship across ages. It doesn’t matter. We’re fun, we’re funny, we joke, we help each other. It’s a beautiful family.Formed through presence, humor, and mutual regard.I’ve never been idealistic about these things, but it makes me feel very hopeful. Before coming here, I had written an article about hope, optimism, and dissolution. I don’t know if I’m going to publish it. I want to be honest.I don’t know if I’m going to publish it or merge it, because the feeling has shifted a lot. It’s been three or four days that I don’t watch news, I don’t go on Twitter or Instagram. No Substack, no nothing. I’m not engaged with the world outside. I’m just being very present with others, speaking.Attention returned to the immediate, and I felt how much clarity arrives when I stop narrating experience and simply stay inside it.Something happened to me. I became very vulnerable, and I decided to show that vulnerability.Exposure became a conscious choice, something I could enter deliberately rather than spill unconsciously.While at the conference, I was in two panels. I do very well in panels. Dialogue suits my way of thinking.I do very well when people ask me questions. I’ve been doing this for a long time, especially as an artist. Since last year, I’ve wanted to do presentations, but the subjects I choose are very layered, very deep, and synthesized. If you don’t have the kind of mind I have, you might miss the connection. Maybe I’m too ambitious. I want to write like a thesis and spell it out in twenty minutes, hoping people will get into it. I was told by someone I trust to write a script so I don’t lose myself in time. I tried it twice, both at Adopting Bitcoin and here in Medellín. I love challenges, yet I have to be honest, it doesn’t feel like me. It doesn’t feel like my essence.Synthesis moves quickly for me.Just before getting on the main stage, I bumped into Jeff Booth and Kent Halliburton, and I expressed that I realized I was very nervous. I didn’t want to read, but I couldn’t trust myself not to read. I had the slides. I had a script.Trust became the central axis, trust in my voice, in my pacing, and in letting meaning arrive without forcing it. They said, go for it. Jeff told me his mind is similar, always synthesizing, connecting dots across subjects. I heard him say while talking to Frank Corva, “Let me unpack this in three stages.” That was the lesson I received.I stood up and explained to everyone that I wanted to be vulnerable. I said that even though I would love to speak freely, I was going to read. I knew it wouldn’t be the same experience. I asked for feedback, and I decided to do it that way.In my astrology, transiting Chiron is sitting on my natal Mars in the third house, squaring transiting Jupiter in Cancer in my sixth house, and also being squared by Mars, the Sun, and Venus in my twelfth house. There’s something courageous I feel I’m doing by showing up without perfection. In the past I was always performing, In New York, it was all about the persona I needed to embody.Courage expresses through communication.I was so nervous that I started shaking. I wasn’t in a great place.The body was actively participating, signaling that something deeper was reorganizing before language could catch up.I did it. I read it. It wasn’t a bad read, but it was clear I’m much better when I’m spontaneous. After that, I invited some close people to give me feedback. They were honest. I’m grateful. I’m grateful to myself for allowing feedback, because that’s a vulnerable spot for me. I used to attract a lot of criticism. I asked for this, and they gave me what I asked for.Discernment is now available, because I can receive feedback without breaking up or becoming defensive, and let it refine rather than fragment me.Some ideas came back to me. One is to do fire chats, inviting another Bitcoiner to have a conversation with me on stage. You pick a subject and riff.Conversation carries intelligence in real time, allowing synthesis to happen live rather than being pre-compressed into a performance of what is

You are about to enter into Monika’s universe, where her inquiry may align you to new dimensions. You are about to cross a threshold into the unknown; (surrender to the experience).The body is a temple, it’s the vessel that has density and allows us to really experience, through our senses, the nature of our reality. The body as the logos is also the doorway of incarnation, the place where consciousness becomes experience. It is the body that is also miraculous, and it has such an incredible genetic imprint, at the same time the most high type of intelligence that regenerates itself, but also needs other bodies to function. It needs an emotional body, a mental body, psychic body, spiritual body. So when one of these bodies is not in tune and aligned, the physical body could start sabotaging itself. We speak of health as always trying to repair something, fix something, but we don’t speak of health as wholesomeness, as cycles between cycles, and illnesses or crises as resolutions.Not long ago I was introduced to GHK {GNM} and the 5 biological laws through the awesome FOTT community, and it arrived as a puzzle I’m still deciphering, a puzzle that makes sense of why it came into my life now. So yes relating to my mind and my vessel. With a new set of values, perspectives and appreciation of the time that I’ve been taken in the last year or so to reconnect to my physiology through imprints that have crystallized both mentally and even in the tissues. And how powerful it is to be able to prompt myself back into wholesomeness by giving light to those parts that are not aligning properly now but they are healing itself. Because the body’s intelligence is way too perfect, is so much connected to the creator.I had a session with Natasha {GNM practitioner} recently and then I woke up in the middle of the night with a dream that really represented symbolically where my psyche needs light. So the purpose and direction of where I want to go in my life is actually showing up very clearly now. It’s an internal recalibration that is emerging and it’s being felt and it’s being expanded and it’s also being asked to move, to move. And what it has to move is the way I relate to it thought-wise, myth-wise, mental-wise. So it’s all alive in the body. It’s funny, my first book has a subtitle called Everything I Need Is In My Body. It’s there, I have been working with GNM and noticing how these relational patterns show up as digestive issues, skin, nasal dripping, and eye irritation. So my body is kind of speaking and I’ve been working very thoroughly on rewiring my nervous system.So very little do we know about our bodies, especially because, in the last century, we’ve been given the opportunity to erase whatever wisdom we had acquired throughout time. It’s very difficult to listen to our instincts and our intuition because the mind is overriding by giving our power to authorities that they not even know that one thing is connected to the next. You see, health nowadays is not holistic. It doesn’t integrate all the bodies. It actually separates everything and treats the symptom with chemicals. It doesn’t ask anything about how you’re feeling, how you’re responding or reacting emotionally. It’s separating everything, and thus the human becomes less and less connected to the wisdom of their vessel.When I say integration, I mean listening to the full system at once, and tracking how physical sensation, emotional response, mental story, psychic signal, and spiritual orientation move together through time. This is what I call observation and correlation on a moment to moment basis.This feels like a big personal win I want to acknowledge; I’ve been tracking a deep pattern around belonging and speaking up in groups, and this is the first time I’m able to name it and share it from a grounded place.“Being in group settings is like a dojo for me, a space to track myself and see how far down the line I have gone. It is how I evolve.”“I am not asking for anything to be different: I am just naming it, because naming it helps me stay connected to myself.”I was thinking, basically my critique is something that I have experienced in my life, in the sense that I was very fortunate to remember past lives, so I did ask my mom to take me to the needle man when I was very young, like 10, 11 years old, and she did find a needle man, somebody who had lived in China, and practiced acupuncture, and also he had studied homeopathy, el Doctor Moya so I was introduced very early on to different and ancient modalities that are still called “alternative” lol, but for me they are not alternative but essential, hence I started having a relationship with my body differently, although I have to admit that a lot of the process in my life has been to recognize the amount of disassociation I’ve had in my body, trying to remember moments in my life that they created an impact, and I tend to forget them, but anyway.“Consciousness permeates everything.” ~Itzhak Bentov, S

You are about to enter into Monika’s universe, where her inquiry may align you to new dimensions. You are about to cross a threshold into the unknown; (surrender to the experience).Hello everybody. Today when I write this is the 1st of January. Even though in antiquity many cultures did not start the year on January 1st, the Western world normalized this date across the globe through the Julian and later the Gregorian calendar, a civic agreement that shaped how time is counted, how administration moves, and how decisions are timed. The Roman decision to begin the civic year on January 1st was tied to administration and war, so consuls could take office earlier and campaign sooner; later, Julius Caesar stabilized the calendar through reform. Other calendars remain alive and coherent on their own terms: the the Chinese calendar, Hindu calendars, Buddhist calendars, Hebrew calendar, the Islamic Hijri calendar, and others. Some are lunar, some are lunisolar, some are solar; the rhythm shapes the way a culture experiences time.Having said that, numerology wise. We just finished 2025, and for me, to be honest, it was the best year of my life. I consider best (as inner maturation), because it was a year I gave myself the opportunity to dive deep into my nervous system and to go into areas I had not wanted to enter because I was not prepared. So I cherish that, and I also know that this new year 2026 [2+2+6=10=1), a year one, is going to propel many different things. My birthday is at the end of April, so this last year I was on a four number, very foundational (It’s the year of foundations, plans, systems, discipline, and tangible results,) and in 2026 I move into a five number, changes and adaptations. I am ready for it. 2026: freedom through movement and learning through experience inside a collective year of initiation, new starts, leadership, fresh timelines, and first moves.One of the things I’m noticing is that until not long ago, when people gave me ideas, I was not very accepting of ideas from others. I’m a Manifestor, and the whole “you should” thing has its texture. Right now I listen. I do not have to do what anyone tells me, and I can let an idea lead me to a window of opportunity I had not considered. That is a real shift for me.On New Year’s Eve, my friend Anastasia told me how much she was enjoying my recent articles, adding beautiful compliments that moved me; she said that entering my blog is like stepping into a new realm that is surprisingly different, yet exciting, so I listened and decided to try the opening you heard. It was her idea to use The Twilight Zone, which is perhaps my favorite TV show from the end of the 60s; it gave me chills and opened different dimensions to my young self, I am grateful for her comment; this one is for you, Ana.I am taking this January as a real threshold. The solstice already turned the light, and now the month turns the psyche. Capricorn holds the backbone of this whole sequence. Capricorn is time; Capricorn is maturation; Capricorn is the part of you that acts with consequence, that chooses what can endure, that builds with devotion instead of mood. So I am going to walk you through this like a journey; I would like you to feel these archetypes and (embody) them because they are new cycles, and each initiation expands the exact area of your life where Capricorn sits.Where strategy can be crafted wisely, where your individual journey can define and orient the soul for a long stretch of what is being shaped; spend time within, giving yourself the opportunity to plan for a thriving future free of shackles. You already know that I equate freedom with financial freedom, as freedom means having more than one option, and that additional option takes you away from the possibility of complying to authority against your will for lack of leverage; Venus archetype.So here it goes.Calendar aid for January 2026, Eastern TimeDate | Time EST | Transit | Exact degreeJan 02 2026 | 9:37 am | Chiron stations direct | 22° Aries 36’Jan 03 2026 | 5:02 am | Full Moon | 13° Cancer 01’Jan 06 2026 | 11:36 am | Sun conjunct Venus | 16° Capricorn 22’Jan 07 2026 | 9:43 pm | Venus conjunct Mars | 18° Capricorn 09’Jan 09 2026 | 6:41 am | Sun conjunct Mars | 19° Capricorn 13’Jan 09 2026 |12:35 pm |Venus opposite Jupiter | 20° Capricorn 12’Jan 10 2026 | 3:42 am | Sun opposite Jupiter | 20° Capricorn 07’Jan 10 2026 | 9:25 am | Mars opposite Jupiter | 20° Capricorn 05’Jan 11 2026 | 11:13 am | Venus square Chiron | 22° Capricorn 38’Jan 12 2026 | 3:31 pm | Sun square Chiron | 22° Capricorn 39’Jan 13 2026 | 5:33 pm | Mars square Chiron | 22° Capricorn 40’Jan 14 2026 |3:17 am |Mercury opposite Jupiter |19° Capricorn 34’Jan 16 2026 | 1:20 am | Mercury square Chiron | 22° Capricorn 41’Jan 17 2026 | 7:43 am | Venus enters Aquarius | 0° Aquarius 00’Jan 18 2026 | 2:40 am | Mercury conjunct Mars | 26° Capricorn 03’Jan 18 2026 | 10:11 am | Moon conjunct Mars | (Capricorn)Jan 18 2026 | 10:47 am | Moon conj

Stanza IEmbodying my nervous systemOh Lord, this one is curvy and bold, sincere and curious, courageous and soft, strong when needed. This is my song for 2025.Lord, I do thank you for remembrance. I do thank my soul for listening to my inner voice screaming silence and no more attention, where distracting factors kept me from being kind to my beautiful self.Embracing a softer edge has been the challenge, since I thrive in structure, order, and support. Yet trust needed wisdom that is lived, not read or transmitted even. It needed time to weave and unweave past and no longer vital chords.An air of sadness kept me attentive to observe the times we are leaving behind, with care, in forgiveness and at times forgetfulness that can stem from the yearning to evolve. Sweet soul, the seeking has long ceased, and the caring, weaving path of embodied attention began to show signs of emotional maturity. Oh, I am blessed indeed to have the power of words and the gift of colors, and most important, the union with love.I am blessed. Thank you, 2025, that started with a bang and kindly showed me to trust myself instead of others.“Each of us born as a citizen of two worlds, each a descendant of eternity, and each a child of time.”Michael MeadeStanza IIPerception and ValueNothing dies without having life resurface with a different shape.The current monetary system has shifted, and one cannot see it with the same lens.Bitcoiners become Austrian economists and, after that, start reading and understanding macro, for it is through the comparison of other goods and semi-scarce assets that one can understand what is happening and what each character in the story is playing.Treasury bonds.Stable coins.Old fiat, filthy currency.Precious and rare minerals.Bitcoin, options, derivatives, futures, you name it.And obviously s**t coins all play a part.Looking closely, in the micro, and also with distance and timeframes that vary, the macro starts shaping a story that most myopia is unable to track.It is about the real transformation of value, and how humanity has given all its value to institutions, even now, that maneuver in sophisticated ways to get more bucks for your time.What to do?In my case, I like to study behavior so my emotional body does not panic when a wavelength goes too high or too low. Instead, I take time to keep questions open, big and small inquiries, and I feel mostly very blessed.Stanza IIIThe word art comes from the Latin ars, meaning skill, craft, method, a knowledge embodied through practice. In Greek, the parallel term is technē (τέχνη), which means skill or the art of making, a form of knowing that lives in the body through doing. From this comes kallítechnēs (καλλιτέχνης), from kallós (καλός), meaning beautiful or noble, and technē, meaning skill. Kallítechnēs names the practice of skill carried with beauty, care, and discernment. Art, in this sense, is practiced intelligence shaped into form.I am blessed because one of the ways that I can create, among many things other than writing, is creating shapes, environments, playing with materiality, hiring fabricators, having the blessing of commissioners that trust my vision to the point that they give me opportunities to create work that is permanent and that can be seen in subway stations, universities, schools, hospitals, etc.I continue to do this work in a most devotional way because I understand the complexity and the beauty of this opportunity to be able to create something that listens to the needs of a community, in lieu of having adoration or a statue of reverence from the public, because most of the people that see my work have no idea who did it, and it does not matter, because the work is there to connect them to themselves, not to me. Yes, some people will know, but that is not the reason why I do it.This is a big difference from what happened after I left New York. I left that slavery of reputation and personas that needed to be played in order to fulfill the opportunity to contribute to society, so I am no longer a slave of that, and I am still blessed because even though I made that clear and separated myself from all the mechanics, I have been able to continue showing that what matters is what I do, not what I say.By presenting works that are well received and that enhance specific locations, this year I was able to install two different pieces in two different venues. One at the University of Washington in Seattle, Arcana. And in the last few weeks, the piece Vida was installed in San Antonio. I do not yet have the final images of that work; they will be produced sometime in January. I am very grateful that I can also serve as a being who is able to create shapes, colors, and meaning for communities.“The goal is to become more aware and less concerned.”Stanza IVCreativity. Poetry, music, as a way of representation and also creation. It is different from art. It is a choosing of light before dark, while knowing that awareness of the dark is the only

The Beach; the Vortex; the FieldToday’s Monday, just came back from the beach. It was such a beautiful moment. It was very windy, and it was very sunny, and the air was crisp, and the water was salty, crisp as well. A little bit violent, but not too much for me not to venture in. At times I think about the vortex where I live, where these lines meet and create this energy field that makes me feel so home, connected, and where I can almost measure the qualitative energy that makes me connect to other dimensions. The sea, the water, the salt, the wind are all elements that I can feel with my senses, but there are other parts that are not to be sensed in a physical way, felt either emotionally or more through me, with a different authority that is the authority of the divine in me.The Chart; the Release; the CelebrationI just looked at my astrology chart, and I’m like, holy s**t, I just had the transiting South Node in Virgo conjunct my 8th house Pluto, over the weekend on Dec 20th, I was aware of it for months as I have intentionally worked with it, yet, I forgot about it during the New Moon + Mars on my south node, squaring transiting Saturn and Neptune, which have been squaring my nodes in Cap/Cancer & Ceres the last months, but then I realized, “Girl, you’ve done good, you’ve released a lot” and I’m not going to go through all the details of what happened to me last week, because I’ve been processing so much data, information, while I’ve been rewiring my nervous system in the last nine months, that is just a celebration for me right now, there was a breakthrough and it was YUGE! I am grateful for that.Capricorn Season; the Spine; Emotional WavelengthsNothing more Capricorn than the grind. I’ve been building, building, building. I’ve been slowly waiting. I’ve been ascending, descending. I’ve been waiting. I’ve been patient. I’ve been impatient. Oh, I love Capricorn season. Why? Because that’s where my South Node is. It’s not just familiar, but instead of pushing back familiarity, I embrace the beauty of it, how it builds slowly, slowly. And then with time you can see how things mature, how they are shaped, or where the direction is heading. What I learned through studying the spine, the 33 vertebrae (research for my book) is that it can be flexible; it can be breathable, it can be gentle, and protective. It can bring an embrace and embody wisdom with time, patience with care. The Moon is integrated as a polarity point of what real authenticity, authorship and authority mean, an awareness of emotions that need to be embodied, felt, more than understood. See, emotions are wavelengths; in order to embrace them, one has to let the wavelength be, with its difference in frequency; some peaks have different timeframes, and allowing them to be expressed, and to have their own timing too, that’s important. So it’s neither all loose or everything constrained. This is the Capricorn season. Yeehaw!The Twelfth House; Asking for Light; Glimpses of 2025When I know all these personal planets will line up in my Twelfth House, and that I cannot see them. I could only ask for the light to reveal them, and I’m re studying Biogeometry right now, so BG3 becomes one of the ways I name that harmonizing quality when the field feels coherent.The liminal space is a place where the twilight merges with its Higher Harmonic of Ultraviolet, described as an energy quality found at dawn, associated with a realm of spiritual manifestation and ritual, where angels dwell.They will be revealed during the Full Moon on January 3rd, but because I am building that timeframe, I started seeing the glimpses of joy, of when finally the shape of 2025 took form, as I was slowly allowing more space to be built. This last week has been amazing in that sense. I’m looking forward with patience. I’m not there. I’m here.No Synthesis Yet; The Build Up; Saturn’s Last TouchesNot having a synthesis all the time is a great thing in times of re-structuring. Humanity is in the middle of building something absolutely BRAND NEW, there’s no synthesis yet, there is an initial idea, and then there’s the grinding of the build up, and then with time we can look back and say Holly Molly! this painful and dark side was actually the edge and the beginning of the new. It’s interesting, I could do the synthesis of my 2025, and that’s closing with the South Node of the Moon that still has some reverberation as it is within a 2° orb, as it just happened. So in the next two months I’m going to get the synthesis of this immense year of inner value and outside quietude, giving meaning to the second part title of my book, The architecture of Value. While this happens, I’m already building the platform of the future, and it still cannot be concretized, but it has these strong foundations. I am in the exercise of strategizing how I would like my life to unfold. As Saturn will finally leave Pisces on February 13, 2026 at 7:11:39 pm ET, it will completely remind me that my second Saturn

I feel that it is imperative to move towards a complete integration of what we call the divine to what people call the source, where some more religious call G*d, Christ, Jesus, the Buddha, Mohammed, Shiva, the light, the divine, WUJI anything you can call what is sacred.What we call the core of it all, All that Is, aka consciousness. Instead of staying in a place where we are completely divided inside and out of ourselves because of ideologies, rituals, perspectives, that they don’t seem to make any more sense. So there is an urgency of integration and of inner coherence, of returning to a lived relationship with the divine that does not depend on belief systems, gurus, or meditation retreats, teachings, banners, etc.I’m tracking a closing cycle, and I can feel that the collective tension is mirroring an internal tension that many people are carrying, where the mind tries to hold certainty, where the psyche tries to hold identity through belonging, and where the heart knows that the era of borrowed meaning is completely dissolving into dust. I would like to speak directly to that, because ideology has become the easiest way to outsource truth, and outsourcing truth creates inner division, that leads to relational division, and collective division, the cost is obvious now because it fractures people from their own intelligence and it fractures communities into endless argument without resolution, and it doesn’t allow people to connect to each other or to reconnect to their own authentic selves.I’m writing this from my heart because I can feel that the only stable meaning right now comes from trust in the divine as an internal reality. Trust is what is coming through Source. Trust is the totality of all things. It’s all that is. Trust is the intelligence of the Creator. Trust is what lives inside the body and inside the heart and inside our soul. I am interested in this moment when we stop looking outward for permission to know what we know and we stop treating the divine as an idea that must be defended and we start living as if our consciousness is already part of the Source because the remembering reorganizes action, value, and perception without force.A moment of full alignment.I can feel how silence becomes intelligent in a moment like this and how the nervous system registers truth before the mind can and will explain it, and how coherence becomes a form of law that reality responds to.Not long ago, I accepted that the first time I really felt true self love was when I witnessed my mother’s death. And throughout these last two years, I have been able to integrate and rewire my nervous system so I can totally open a space that is very flexible and caring and loving so I hold the divine in me.This is where I want to bring people into a place where the question becomes simple and severe. What happens when I return to inner truth and allow the truth to guide my choices, my timing, my relationships, my speech, my work, and my attention?I want the tone of this piece to hold a threshold because I am watching a collective cycle complete and I’m watching people reach for stories that keep them split. I’m also watching the possibility of a different response, which is trust as a lived orientation, trust as an inner authority, trust as the field that holds me steady when external sanity falls and breaks down.DreamI had a very vivid dream and it stayed in my body after I woke up, a brief scene in that liminal space between dreaming and being awake, a familiar presence, an embrace that carried weight, grief, and release, very little language, mostly feeling, mostly the kind of contact that registers in the nervous system as truth.The way I hold dreams now comes from the same place I’m writing from, trust in the divine as an internal reality, because when I am connected to that field, dreams and insights arrive with a certain clarity and a certain timing, and then life corroborates them in simple ways, through a conversation, a tone, a confession, a reality that echoes the dream without needing interpretation.It reminds me of how after my father died, I searched for him in books, philosophies, and journeys. In every relationship that I had, whether it’s a friendship or intimate, there was always a part of expectation, always trying to feel resonance with the other soul. This time the feeling is very gentle. It’s more complete. The dream doesn’t ask me to do anything. I don’t want to decipher it because I know it has something deeper, something continuous. It shows that something has already shifted inside of me, and it feels like it could be a closure of this 2025 without rupture, with care, without expectation.I’ve been working a lot on that longing that I’m integrating this year, and because we’re talking about the divine, I actually ended up integrating the divine and the God in me, and the dream is so vivid because it is embodied. That urge is already within me, and I thought it was beautiful to have a dream wit

Here I am sitting in the middle of the night, probably 9 PM, and I changed all the bulbs in my house to red light, so it looks a little bit like the red district, but it has really helped me change my sleeping patterns, because as soon as I turn on the lights I feel like winding down. And I am also waking up really early, so I can see the sunrise, and it just changes everything.I’ve been wanting to stay quiet, but then there are other things that I need to process, so basically what I’m doing here is I’m going to process out loud. I’m going to process out loud and take time to process.Two thousand twenty five has been about rewiring my nervous system. I am watching how my body reacts to everything: to light, to silence, to money, to people, to messages that arrive and to messages that never arrive. I am listening to the speed of my thoughts, the way my heart races or slows down, the way I reach for my phone or for my own breath. It is as if my whole system is learning a new pace, a new baseline of safety that lives inside my cells and not in the reactions of others.What am I processing? I don’t know how to explain this year. It’s been the year. I’ve been saying it for a while that it’s the best year of my life. Second best is 2020 and 2021. Those years were amazing. I just empowered myself to be free, and I felt what freedom was like for real.This one is more about: I know I’m free right now, but with 2025, 2026, it’s about having the courage to go all the way. I’m all in. I’m all in, in life, in expansion, in feeling, in being quiet, in being there for me. It’s absolutely beautiful.On the other hand, some things, people, and situations have run their course, and I’ve done a little bit of mourning. I’ve been slow. Now that I discovered the beautiful GNM, I can understand that probably I have been mourning, my mom died in 2023, but I’ve been mourning other things too, I’m mourning my life in New York; 27 frigging years. I’m finally mourning myself within a twenty year-long marriage. I’m also mourning my father for the first time, Since I jumped into emotional detachment to protect my pain; I’m mourning a lifestyle.When I mourned my mom, I was holding her very tight, day and night, she was with me, then Mayra, my shaman, passed at the beginning of this year, unexpected to me, but she is also very present. I have this thing that I am present with dead people. I can go back and forth. I am present in constant time. yet I know when it is time to let go. dissolve, undo, give thanks, let go…Dissolving with soap Today, Wednesday the tenth at 7:30 a.m., Neptune went direct at 29 degrees of Pisces. I want to speak about this, because I think I have been aligning so much with my transits that I am capable of receiving messages beforehand that help me decipher what is unfolding. Neptune entered Aries briefly on April first, then went retrograde and re-entered Pisces 10/22/25, and in that return a lot of confusion surfaced. It felt like it messed the structure I had prepared for 2025, because deeper information needed to come through, now I feel I can restructure it with more clarity.Neptune in my second house has been dissolving old attachments to value and dissolving illusions about worth. Saturn has been traveling with Neptune, and both have been squaring my nodal axis in the fifth and eleventh houses. This has been asking me to see the patterns that shaped my creativity, my friendships, my communities, my pleasure, and my sense of contribution. It has been showing me where I needed to reclaim sovereignty over my resources and over the way I invest my energy; my old scaffolding of self worth has been dissolving so I can build something true.At the same time, Uranus has been moving through my fourth house, and this is the key that opened the door: when Uranus entered Gemini, I felt a disruption in the foundation of my being. It felt like instability at first, but now I understand it as the revelation that my nervous system was shaped long before I had language. My system adapted to my mother’s needs, to her anxiety, to her responsibilities after my father died. I became the one who sensed the emotional climate before it shifted. I was not the oldest child, but the one chosen to support her, and the structure of my nervous system was built around managing everyone else. My mom’s gaze had been very critical, very funny at times, and when she could not get her way, it was expressed in restrained anger. I learned to adapt on a day to day basis, my scope was to measure her mood; Is she funny, or frustrated? and I would adapt, little did I know this adaptation that made me survive both as an over caring person and as a clown, would shape my nervous system, until this year when I noticed it was an adaptation, not the truth…Uranus retrograde made the message even clearer, what I thought were emotional habits were physiological imprints, what I thought were psychological tendencies were survival strategies woven into my body.

Is your value pegged to your priced possessions, your cherished relationships, your status, or simply to your truth? How can you trust yourself to make the right decisions about your time on earth?Current Experiment: echoing July 1944, when forty four allied nations met in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to design a new monetary order that pegged their currencies to the dollar and the dollar to gold.In my current limited and still studying understanding I am watching two structures being built at the same time and together they change what the dollar feels like in daily life.What is at stake here is reality. What we think is real is what we believe, so our reality is shaped by our belief system. If our beliefs about money, safety and value are based on mirages, then the choices we make with our savings and our time can take us very far from what we actually need.let’s dive in, shall we?On one side stands Tether, it calls itself a stablecoin issuer, yet in practice it behaves like a private central bank for people who cannot touch the United States banking system. It holds a gigantic portfolio of United States Treasury bills, plus physical gold and a large stash of Bitcoin. Its token, USDT, is the way hundreds of millions of people in emerging countries hold and move what they experience as dollars. These are not deposits at a regulated bank inside the United States, they are claims on a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands that now has deep ties with El Salvador. “Tether is not a cryptocurrency company. It is a private central bank that has dollarized the developing world without permission.”Shanaka Anselm PereraThe GENIUS Act has drawn a hard line. One dollar system sits inside the United States where stablecoins must be fully backed by cash and Treasuries and supervised by Washington. An offshore dollar system keeps growing where Tether issues its own version of dollars backed by Treasuries, gold and Bitcoin, supervised by no one in particular. For a huge part of the developing world, the issuer of the everyday dollar is no longer the Federal Reserve, it is another private bank.For me the mirage is simple; on the screen everything still looks like neutral, safe dollars, underneath those balances are completely different IOUs tied to different balance sheets, different political risks and very different levels of control.The mirage is the shared belief that all of this belongs to one dollar world. In practice it is a layered structure that uses Bitcoin as collateral, Tether as a private dollar engine and GENIUS compliant stablecoins as a public dollar engine, all plugged into the same mountain of government debt.Mirage: there is nothing stable in stablecoinsOn the other side, the Federal Reserve itself is changing its relationship to the Treasury market in a way that I am still learning to grasp. The headlines say that Quantitative Tightening ended on the first of December and that the balance sheet froze around six point five seven trillion after draining more than two trillion from the financial system.Under that surface sits the plumbing: A Repo is a secured overnight loan> One party hands over Treasuries and receives cash, then reverses the trade the next day; a reverse repo is the same trade seen from the other side. The cash lender parks its money and holds Treasuries as collateral, repurchase agreements have been part of the Federal Reserve toolkit for more than one century. In the United States they show up around nineteen seventeen as a way for the Fed to lend to banks and they grew into a core Wall Street funding tool in the second half of the twentieth century, which is how they ended up at the heart of today’s money market plumbing scam .The Overnight Reverse Repo Facility was the place where money market funds and other large players could lend their spare cash to the Fed for one night and receive Treasuries. At the peak more than two and a half trillion rested there. That was the cushion, a parking lot of unused liquidity. Now that facility is almost empty; the spare cash has been pulled back into the system and bank reserves sit near the level where small shocks can create big stress.At the same time the Standing Repo Facility has become the daily escape hatch in the opposite direction. Dealers arrive with Treasuries and instantly turn them into reserves whenever they need dollars. When the Secured Overnight Financing Rate spiked in October this window had to lend eighteen and a half billion in a single day. The backstop that was created for emergencies now looks like a permanent feature of the market.When I place these two pictures on top of each other the mirage becomes clearer. The Fed has built an architecture where Treasury collateral can always be turned into central bank money on demand through the Standing Repo Facility, while the old buffer of excess cash in the reverse repo facility has almost vanished. Tether has built a parallel architecture where that same Treasury c

BehaviorWhat does that even mean, to behave?We can start with the premise of what behavior means etymologically. In English, to behave comes from Old English “behaven”: be and have together, to hold, to surround, to contain, to have oneself in a certain way, the way we carry and conduct ourselves in front of others and in front of life. In French we would say comporter, which is to bring together, to gather who we are and how we act into one gesture. So behavior is how we hold ourselves and how we carry ourselves, the way we bring our parts together in one line of action, the way we draw a definition and move in a direction.I have been really integrating the idea of what behavior is because I speak about Aristotle showing us the telos of humanity as a pursuit of happiness, and that is already going to decipher and describe the behavior of a collective. When you go to Von Mises in Human Action, he says that this is purposeful behavior. If you go to Carl Jung, we are going to see that behavior is about integrating our unconscious with our conscious.So where do I stand now?Studying markets, I always read the behavior of demand and supply; when I look and observe other people’s reactions or responses, including my own, I am looking at behavior and integrity, principles: these are words that have a lot of weight.If we go to principle, it means beginning: Principium in Latin, the foundation. Integrity means that synthesis is allowed to include other parts. I always say that principles, for me, are a horizontal line where we stand, and integrity as individuals is a vertical line that does have a price, where the individual will arrive to a place and say: I will not bend beyond this height. Integrity is very subjective; we can judge other people for their own lack of integrity, and we can see ourselves where we bend.Now, I am speaking about all this because Saturn is finally going direct on the 27th of November. That is Thanksgiving here in the United States. After a few months, since July 13, it went retrograde from Aries back to Pisces on September 1st, and now it is going to go direct at 25 degrees of Pisces. It will reach Aries again in February to then approach the final great conjunction with the planet Neptune, who is the ruler of Pisces. Saturn has been in Pisces for the last three years. Try to remember everything that has been going on in your life since March 2023.For me, it was my second Saturn return. They say that when you have done the work, your second Saturn return gives you a lot of goodies. I think I have had a lot of goodies in the last few years: realizations, motivations, achievements, if you want to call it that.By the way, Mark asked me yesterday in our monthly session what I would say now about the second Saturn return, having effectively been through it, and I told him this: by the time Saturn came back in 2023, I already knew that my most painful turning had been my Chiron return at fifty, when I shattered into a million pieces because I had lived without boundaries and felt completely empty. So I prepared; years before Saturn entered Pisces I chose therapy, I chose to work on boundaries, I chose to start writing my first book as a reflection of that coming of age, and now the second book as a spine of thirty three vertebrae is holding the structure quite gently, because with Saturn in the first house in Pisces I can be any f*****g form, and the only way to give it form is to know myself and take care of myself first. This cycle has been about standing my ground, doing the homework instead of escaping, reparenting myself, feeling both parents at my back while I rebuild my nervous system from the core and stop shrinking to make space for others. My mom died as I was coming out of this second Saturn return, and somehow that sealed the work; I am standing in my own personality now, breathing fully, supporting my own needs without guilt. Second Saturn return was a banger.Saturn is always slow and it needs direction. It wants to achieve something. It is very concrete. It is very driven. It is driven towards a direction of success. But Saturn is also the father figure, Saturn is the authority that can show us that there is a clean way to go somewhere.The problems of Saturn or Capricorn are that they can be very constraining, limiting, austere, bland, stingy. It can be a pain in the neck. But I love Saturn because it is the ruler of my South Node, and I have learned to really understand its generosity. Believe it or not, it is very generous because it gives you time, chronos, to basically figure it out.There are two versions of time. There is chronos, which is like one, two, three, four, five, around the clock. And there is kairos, which is a different kind of time: the right timing, when you align with your frequency and things happen in a more magical way: the opportune and decisive moment.We are talking about linear time: yesterday, today, tomorrow. That is the kind of time that chronos or Sa

The Tenth house is the performing persona. How do I portray myself out there? Am I writing the best article? Am I speaking the right way? Am I at the right party? Am I meeting the right people? Am I climbing the ladder? Tenth house is b******t, especially in a place like New York. It can eat you up from the core, from the heart. But guess what, you do it. You do it because your ambition is so big that you are so ready to sacrifice everything else just to be in a position. And then when you are in that position, you say, what is all this for, what is all this for, at what cost.That is a tenth house. And I have my tenth house ruled by Scorpio, so it is very intense. Neptune sits on my Midheaven, so there has always been a doubt, a questioning of what power even means in the first place, and my Moon in Scorpio in the ninth, very close to the MC, keeps making me seek something that goes much deeper than external appearance. The ruler of that house Pluto, is my eighth house in Virgo, so I have a tendency to become even more critical about all the things that I needed to do to get to that place, because it is a direction. So even though there is no time, we treat it like a ladder, like you are escalating, you are arriving to the top. When you treat it with no time, when you see it as a purposeful life, things start deescalating and they start aligning, aligning.New York City is so FIAT. What does that mean. Fiat is the monetary system that we have been living under since the inception of the Federal Reserve and the moment the dollar was taken off gold in nineteen seventy one. Every single dollar that is made is fake, and the so called value is based on external things and not on real worth. That is what I mean when I say New York is so fiat. People are constantly projecting status, projecting the ladder, projecting ambitions. If the soul in question has no boundaries and merges with the lot, it can experience a sudden shock and eventually a big inner loss. Bitcoiners can be very FIAT, so I am not romanticizing…So right now what I feel is pure alignment to what my soul came to be, with struggle, with friction. I just came back from New York after five years of living happily in Miami Beach. I had been back in NYC briefly three times, but never more than one day, but this time I stayed a bit longer and it felt like a lifetime. There was not a single instant in that city that told me, oh my God, I am so sad I left. Every single instant was, my God, I am so happy I do not live here anymore, I do not play this game.There were moments that showed me this very clearly. I went to see my public art piece Duration at the Prospect Avenue station with my friend Efrat. It was bittersweet. I love what I did and at the same time it is not being taken care of. Then I finally visited the World Trade Center memorial. I had never been there since the towers collapsed, and I am still feeling strange about it, like a delayed encounter with a former timeline. And the highlight of everything was going to the MoMA and seeing Ruth Asawa’s work. That was the real nourishment. Everything else was encountering the old me with the new me and having my body adjust to those small moments of recognition.When I was in New York years ago, the performance was all about doing the right thing at the right time so I would get to the next level of the ladder. I was performing for an inner audience that only cared about the next step. Right now I do not operate like that. Right now I am aligned or I am misaligned, and that is what shows me if I am in the right place at the right time.I am just going to go very superficial with this, because there are so many layers that I am uncovering that will need to be processed within myself, within my practices, within my practitioners, and it may take a couple of months to really reveal the core of it, but I can summarize it in one thing. My progressed chart.As I progressWhen I was born the Sun was at six degrees of Taurus. In secondary progressions the Sun moves approximately one degree of the zodiac per year of life. Sixty one, almost sixty two years later, my progressed Sun is now at six degrees of Cancer. The Moon in progressions takes about twenty seven and a half years to circle back to the same spot, so it carries a different kind of timing. Right now the progressed Moon is at six degrees of Aquarius on my tenth house in the progressed chart. Six degrees of Aquarius is my Ascendant, and it is making a very interesting finger of God. That means one hundred fifty degrees to my progressed Sun Mercury at six degrees of Cancer in my third house, and to six degrees of Virgo in my fifth house, where Uranus is.This is very potent, because I just felt like an alien when I went to New York. I felt this is not the timeline that I am supposed to be in, but it was good, because it was so dephased, it was not really facing the same energy. I was able to see the difference. After that, when I got slightly overwhelmed wi

What kind of silence in the outside world can teach the inner world of curiosity? There are so many things that I would like to share, but I have decided to withhold them for a bit because I want to savor the insights and the transformations that I am feeling, which have been rewiring my nervous system. Two thousand twenty-five will prove to be a very profound year for my own life, where I actually re-parent myself and really hold my space as a sacred one. I will come back with more information, but that is all I am going to say. It is a sacred place. I am not going to stop sharing; it is the way I am sharing that is being transformed.The Quiet and potent Pulse of a Cycle Turning: Scorpio New Moon:The new moon in Scorpio at 28° on the twentieth forms a deep interior chamber. Its conjunction with Black Moon Lilith in a balsamic tone brings material that has been stored in the emotional body, the memory of what has been held before articulation, as it is closing a cycle and beginning a new one. Mercury retrograde in kazimi concentrates perception at the core, where the message is received without distortion. The chart leans inward.Jupiter retrograde in Cancer trines the lunation and widens that internal field, expanding the place where the body recognizes truth, where nourishment is recalibrated, where instincts speak with clarity. This expansion moves through layers that need integration before expression, a slow internal movement that leads to impactful insights that may emerge.Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Pisces create a soft but firm boundary around this work, holding space where discernment, refinement, and spiritual hygiene become essential. Saturn is restructuring the subtle body, while Neptune is dissolving what no longer serves the rhythm in a potent end of an era. Together they create a quiet container.Uranus rx at twenty-nine degrees of Taurus stands as the threshold of the nervous system, signaling the completion of a seven-year cycle of instability, liberation, and internal reorientation. At this final degree, it distills the teaching: coherence through truth, awakening through embodiment, and the stability that forms when value is self-generated. You might have felt this past week as a shaking ground; I personally was able to rewire internally with adaptability.The timeline between December eleven and seventeen becomes the moment when the message is illuminated. Mercury and the Moon will cross the same Scorpio degree with direct motion, allowing what surfaced in November to be understood without interference. Integration becomes visible. The inner work gains articulation. What was sensed becomes named.P.S. all presentations in El Salvador went really well, I will bring some documentation next week or so… happy New Moon.

note when I was recording the article, I went rogue in many parts, and I decided to leave the text as is, and the recording aswell…Time and FrequencyI knew I had to get on the road again. I remember years ago when I used to love to travel, open my suitcase, drop some clothes, and put myself on an airplane, just going to the next adventure. I have done a lot of traveling since I was a little girl. Once my father died, my mom taught us that the best way to live our lives was to enjoy them, because we never knew what was going to happen next. Of course, she was speaking from losing her husband at age thirty-six , and leaving four young kids without a father.She gave us opportunities to educate ourselves, to travel the world, to learn different languages, and to understand life through an open and wide perspective. So thank you, Mom, for that.I lived in many different places throughout my life. I won’t list them all right now, but I was always used to being in one place and then another. Things changed a lot in 2020 when I moved to Miami Beach. It’s not that I hate traveling now, but I don’t like it as much, because I’ve understood that my energy as a Manifestor needs its own space. When I look back, I see I don’t have a defined G Center, gravity center, identity center, so I used to merge with people, situations, and places, and I would always feel like I wanted to run away.Now, when I travel, which is usually short, I make sure I am in a comfortable place, in the right company, and that I always have an escape route, because I need to feel that I have options all the time.It has changed. When I was growing up, travel gave me the world and open horizons. Now it helps me shift perspective, but I make sure I am not misaligned. Traveling has become more about awareness, of environment, of energy, of company. I pay attention to whether I will align with the energy around me. I remain open to expansion and to changing perspective.Next week, I’ll start traveling again. Not too long, but long enough to write this reflection.I became a carnivore, one hundred percent, so it’s easy for me to find food anywhere. Just red meat, it’s simple. Still, I like to prepare by bringing some dried meat, just in case I’m somewhere without access to animal protein. Of course, I can always eat eggs. I adapt easily when I travel; I’m not rigid. But I do like to be comfortable, to bring what I need, to take care of myself. That’s a very Taurus function, I make sure my needs are met, so there’s no suffering, only joy.Next week, I’m going to El Salvador for the second time. Last year was my first visit, and it was amazing to begin speaking at conferences. That was my first keynote, and I was nervous, but it went well. This time, I’ll give three keynotes: Bitcoin as a State of Consciousness, Bitcoin and Austrian Economics 101 in Spanish, which I already presented six months ago in Dallas for BitBlockBoom, and one for the Mi Primer Bitcoin Unconference, the curriculum I’ve been using to teach people willing to invest in understanding what Bitcoin truly is.Then, the following week, I’ll travel with my friend You're The Voice | by Efrat Fenigson (follow her if you have not already!) to New York for almost a week. Since I left in 2020, it’ll be the first time I stay more than one night. I had been avoiding that city; I don’t have connections there anymore. My views completely changed my circles, and I lost contact with many people from my past.“𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀—𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆—𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗮 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗽.” — 𝗜. 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗼Going with Efrat will be fantastic because I’ll experience the city from a new perspective, the one I have now.Perspective is something we tend to hold too tightly, because we want to define ourselves so eagerly that we forget that if we stay too long in one perspective, we may rot. This is a big call for me, because I have Jupiter, perspective, on my third house of ideas in Taurus, which grounds me and makes me resist change.To provoke, invoke and what leads to your callingSince 2018, when Uranus entered Taurus, I’ve learned through disruption, trauma, erratic movement, and liberation to be more flexible. I realized I was holding on to too many patterns out of fear of the new. Perspective is motion, and exploration through curiosity and valor.Having three planets in Taurus, I move slowly. I take time to make decisions. And having emotional authority in my Human Design, I need that time for my body to feel what’s true.I feel ready. I feel excited. I finished all my deadlines. I feel blessed, grateful, optimistic, playful, alive.I have to share what I celebrated with Kai during my last session: about a week ago:I have really put myself in situations where I have

“As I wrote in The Nature of My Reality energy, power, and motion intertwine within the realm of creation. The same process that transforms effort into value is the one that animates consciousness itself, a continuous act of weighing options and arriving at a choice.” Every thought, instinct, emotion, and consideration forms a current of movement within consciousness, an energetic economy of decision-making.What is Praxeology? the study of intentional human behavior. “It recognizes that our choices aren’t arbitrary but purposeful, driven by subjective needs, all within the context of scarce resources.” Energy then is not only physical or electrical, it is psychic, emotional, moral, the power to direct one’s own motion. The quality of the intention determines the quality of the energy. Because if energy is everything, it must be understood as something that, if I care how it is produced, transformed, or converted, I am going to take one specific part of that energy that is intention, and I am going to make it valuable. Because if I just focus on a partial part of that energy that is transformed into effort and is transformed into decision-making, that energy is very potent.What is Opportunity cost? To make a choice means to give up another; every act takes place at the margin, in the present, where I decide to invest my time, my attention, my energy. The margin is the precise moment of transformation, where value is created because one possibility is chosen over another; every decision implies an unseen field of alternatives, and what I do not choose remains as potential energy, unmanifested. Each choice is therefore a concentration of energy, I am always allocating, always directing, always investing my awareness. The cost of any choice lies in the possibilities it excludes, beyond the time or resources it consumes: the margin reveals the law of creation itself: energy derives its value through clarity, purposeful application, and the awareness of scarcity.Astrology reflects the same principle, where energy moves through archetypal systems of exchange and value.Energy is the currency of decision; Time becomes value through attention as energy becomes value through intention; every act carries a cost, because it concentrates what I am willing to give myself to.We can see this in the astrological trinity, where sign, ruler, and house form one unified archetype, expressing past, present, and future as a single movement of consciousness. Each archetype contains its own memory, its own timing, its own direction, grounding the experience of reality within the third dimension. * The archetype of initiation and individuality ignites life into motion.* The one that fuels and values sustains what is needed.* The one that instigates and connects opens communication and circulation.* The one that embraces and feels safe roots belonging and emotional memory.* The one that validates and brings light expresses the will to create and to be seen.* The one that refines, discerns, and edits keeps what serves and releases what does not.* The one that relates to all things brings balance, resonance, and shared value.* The one of metamorphosis confronts and transforms, teaching death and regeneration.* The one that seeks truth and expands horizons gives faith to evolution itself.* The one that defines and gives direction establishes order, structure, and integrity.* The one that liberates and innovates reveals what is beyond conditioning.* And the one that dissolves and brings back to source completes the cycle of return.These are twelve expressions of the same field, twelve frequencies of energy moving through different phases of becoming, each archetype reveals how energy is exchanged, released, and reabsorbed within the wholeness of consciousness.Consciousness itself expands beyond the visible dimensions, yet what matters is how we apply that awareness in the present. Every decision is a concentration of energy, a lived expression of intention.Energy is the field of creation and the proof of value, acting as the invisible accounting of our choices, the way we measure what matters by what we give ourselves to: at every margin we decide, and in that decision we define worth.If energy is everything, its value depends on the awareness we bring to it: energy becomes value through intention, just as time becomes value through attention. Every act, every thought, every motion of will carries an opportunity cost, the unseen alternative we release in order to create what is chosen.To live with awareness of that exchange is to live as creator within the field of energy itself.FULL MOON in Taurus: (The Sun conjuncts my Moon/Neptune MC)I’m confronting old patterns of codependency, as frequencies that no longer match my vibration, these were stubborn obsessions once.So the question becomes:Do I want to hold on to an addiction or a relationship that is no longer flowing?The relationship itself is a wavelength, and I can recognize when I’m

I don’t know where the last ten months have gone, but it feels like an accelerated timeline. I won’t have much time to write on Substack in the next few weeks because I managed to create a lot of deadlines for myself, all fantastic, but they need my full attention. So I’m just going to write a short one for the week of October 28.Scorpio season is f💥cking intense, but I do love Scorpio. That’s where my Moon are Neptune are. Scorpio is great because it’s all about engaging with. When in fear and aligned with that fear, it’s about merging, absorbing, becoming one with it. And in that process of metamorphosis, when you come out the other side, you’re a new person. This is what’s needed right now: to be brave enough, courageous enough to engage with our fears. Because on the other side of the rainbow there is light. There’s a pot of gold waiting for you to pick up, but that must be done by yourself. You cannot have an assistant. You gotta do it yourself.Now, the thing with Scorpio, or Pluto energy is that the will or desire to evolve is so big that you merge and become one with it, and that can lead to a kind of addiction. So all addictive patterns that you can detect in your life are places to start.I recently wrote something about peptides and how I see people using all kinds of substances. I’m not criticizing, I’m just observing behavior, I’m good at observing behaviors because that’s what I study: the behavior of humanity, the behavior of markets, how things are flowing or not. I can see the bumps ahead, but it’s not about controlling, it’s about accepting that the energy is going here or there.So the invitation for Scorpio season, after these eclipses, with Neptune already going back to Pisces and Uranus about to do the same, to go back to Taurus, is that there’s going to be a lot of déjà vu. You might think, I’ve gone through this sh*t already, what the f* is going on? It’s going to be interesting to say the least.I’m going to do a reading for the first quarter square on October 29 at six degrees of Scorpio, squaring six degrees of Aquarius, forming a f💥cking T-square with my Sun in Taurus. The Moon conjunct Pluto and Pallas Athena in Aquarius exposes emotional truth and collective tension, while Jupiter squaring Venus in Libra reminds us to refine how we value what we need. Mars at the end of Scorpio and Mercury preparing to turn retrograde keep the energy sharp, restless, and probing for freedom.This configuration carries the vibration of crisis in action. Pluto squaring the Sun demands that power be embodied, not projected. Mars inconjunct Chiron calls for courage in the face of change. Courage is not still or passive. It is action, movement, the willingness to evolve. When this pattern touches my Taurus Sun, it presses on stability so I can no longer identify safety with stillness. Scorpio insists on movement through feeling, where matter becomes metamorphosis and attachment becomes transformation. This week’s field says: evolution is participation. The soul evolves by moving toward what it fears, breathing into what shakes it, and claiming desire as the current through which consciousness becomes real.1440/480 = 3 I did something courageous in the last few days. After I recorded the podcast with Joel and Yerasimos, I kept thinking about how they resonate together. I really like the frequency between them. I felt very curious, to consider the possibility of joining their community Friends of the Truth.I felt an unmistakable resonance, a harmonic call that I could sense in my body. The alignments revealed deep correspondence between our charts — bridges of purpose, healing, and regeneration that mirrored my own process of reclaiming value and transforming pain into creative power.And mind you, I haven’t been in a community since 2022, when I decided to withdraw from all kinds of spaces that felt tight. This Friends of the Truth community, FOTT, is closed and it’s a place that I call my dojo. It’s a place where I’m practicing many of the things that I’ve been integrating since I withdrew in 2022, because I wanted to dive deeper into my relational values: how I relate to groups, how I relate to people, situations, and things, and mostly, how I relate in intimacy. That has been the work that I’ve been doing very consciously, both with Kai and with Mark Jones in the last years. So joining a tight community was a turning point last week.I had a vivid dream during a meditation back in February 2024 where I was given some codes, some numbers. When I received the number 1440 back in February 2024, my first impression was that it referred to minutes. There are 1440 minutes in a day. During meditation, I asked, “Are you referring to time?” and received a yes. “Is it minutes?” No. “Is it days?” Yes. Then I asked, “Should I look forward and backward?” and the voice said yes. Forward led me to January 26, 2028, when I will have a solar eclipse exactly on my Ascendant with Pluto. When I went backward, it led to th

It seems these matters are in the air.I came across Bergson’s line again — that reality is not made of fixed things but of becoming, a continuous flow of duration.I’ve been writing about consciousness and the architecture of awareness — how form, sound, and perception unfold as one field.Maybe that’s what this moment keeps asking us to remember: that to be alive is to be in motion, to be becoming.I. Orientation and Early CoordinatesAfter writing about Neptune in Pisces and the way the next months until February 2026 will draw a veil between what is dissolving and what is becoming form, I find myself entering a quieter space. I want to look at the nature of our reality, what defines it, and what lies just beyond the grasp of thought yet still belongs to consciousness.I have always lived between intuition and logic.Sound and resonance became my language long before I had words for them. In the past years, I have studied Bio-geometry and explored frequency through sound with tuning forks, humming, the vibration plate, and breathwork, observing how vibration organizes space. I am an intuitive person, but I anchor myself through structure, through systems, numbers, and harmonics, always measuring and tuning in.Since childhood I have had a set of voices, a soft intelligence in my left ear, and growing up I would call them “my consciousness” or “awareness.” They were like three old men in robes who lived on the top floor of my mind. They knew every movement and thought, and I learned not to lie to them. Years later I realized I had the capacity to observe myself from the outside, tuning into that perspective to gain clarity. These inner voices guide me; they offer information before events unfold.Aside from that, my instincts have always been sharp because I can smell deceit from afar. And I am grounded as well in a more philosophical warrior nature. Why fight to survive if there is no meaning? That attitude makes me relentless. I aim to live a purposeful life and do everything in my power to achieve it as it fuels my root center.When I studied Taoism and then Buddhism (early 2000s through 2010s), I was searching for how form and emptiness intertwine with each other. After years of integration, qigong, Taoist cosmology, meditation and contemplation practices, my attention has turned to the ontological, to how consciousness works and how it forms itself into experience. Being so empirical, there is an inner need to experience knowledge, through books, through direct transmissions, and as holistic integration in my life.A Conscious Mind Can Alter RealityTake Taoism, what are these energetic meridians that run in the body, how the seasons and the hours in the day relate to their energy organ functions? How can I trace my design within divine order? Movement, chanting and prayer opened a window for healing early on, the teachings made sense, and every time I saw myself getting attached to a school, philosophy, or a teacher, I left; I want to be my own person this lifetime.When I practice reading charts, astrological, harmonic, relational, I am training the same movement between order and intuition. The chart gives me numbers, angles, and aspects; these are my coordinates. They ground me so that I can open perception. As I connect with the person I am reading for, information begins to organize itself into patterns that are not visible on the chart. It is as if logic holds the doorway open for intuition to enter. Robert Monroe would call this tuning to a frequency band, Courtney Brown would call it gathering nonlocal data, and Federico Faggin might say consciousness is recognizing its own information. For me it feels like listening to resonance until it becomes language; my language.II. Instruments & MethodsEquilibrium finds itself on the gravity line The same process happens when I study financial markets. In the past years I have been learning to read the wavelength of Bitcoin, following price through time as if it were a heartbeat. Numbers, volumes, averages, Ichimoku lines, Fibonacci ratios, Gann’s Square of Time and Price, all these are harmonic structures. They reveal the rhythm of collective emotion, the wave of trust and fear moving through matter. When I look at these patterns long enough, something arises; the chart stops being external and becomes an extension of my own field. It is consciousness reading itself through the logic of number in relationship with movement or energy. See new section that launched where I am sharing weekly chart readings) This is why limitation matters to me, because when I work on a public art commission, I begin with limitations such as the budget, the space, and the theme. What the community needs gives me the coordinates within the field as they define where I can begin; ideas are born as I research the place, its light, its people, its invisible history, and its landscape. Then I open through meditation and intuition to receive what wants to take form there. At times the idea

Welcome to “Equilibrium is a Process” — a new section for Bitcoin wavelength analysis.You’re receiving this introduction via email. Future weekly posts will live in a dedicated section (linked from main feed updates), so your inbox stays clear. 🌊📊 INTRODUCTORY POST → BITCOIN TECHNICAL ANALYSISMY WHY:Why I study Bitcoin through Ichimoku, Gann, Fibonacci, and pattern recognition:It’s all about vibration, movement, and frequencies within wavelengths.OBSERVE + CORRELATE:When I step back and observe objectively—without projecting my fears or insecurities—I start recognizing wavelengths everywhere. The same patterns in life cycles, in market movements, in price equilibrium, and momentum.Ichimoku shows me where equilibrium exists across multiple timeframes. The Kijun line is the gravity center that holds the wave, like a surfer’s stance on that edge of balance.Gann shows me when cycles complete and new phases begin, just like astrological aspects: new moons, full moons, and quarter moons. Or musical octaves.Fibonacci reveals the natural ratios where waves pause, turn, and resume—the same golden proportions found in nature, music, and art.Volume shows me how much conviction backs each move. The inflow and outflow. The breath behind the wave.It’s all about harmonics.COMMITTED TO TRUTH (through accountability)The same pattern recognition I developed reading astrological charts—tracking planetary cycles, aspects, and timing—translates directly to reading market structure.Both systems ask the same question: Where are we within the cycle?When you understand that markets breathe in waves (impulse, correction, impulse) and time moves in geometric divisions (45°, 90°, 180°), the chart becomes a visual frequency you can read.This is observing patterns that already exist.To some, this looks like chaos. I see rhythm.To some, random price moves. I see harmonic cycles completing.That’s why I’m committing significant time to master Bitcoin TA. Not as a trader—as a technical analyst. Because reading these patterns gives me tranquility. It’s meditation through observation.I’ll be sharing these wavelengths as I study them. If you feel compelled to follow along, welcome. If not, that’s fine too.📖 QUICK TERMINOLOGY GUIDEThink of these as the musical notes in the price wavelength:ICHIMOKU - The Equilibrium System ⚖️Tenkan (9-period average): The short pulse→ Fast-moving equilibrium line→ First harmonic of momentum→ “Where was balance 9 periods ago?”Kijun (26-period average): The gravity center ⭐→ Medium-term equilibrium = 0.5 Fibonacci (50%)→ The axis where price naturally returns→ Like a surfer’s center of gravity on the wave→ “Where is the center of this wavelength?”Chikou Span (26-period lag): Market memory→ Current price plotted 26 periods back→ Shows if current wave validates past structure→ “Does this move align with where we’ve been?”Cloud (Kumo): The future prediction zone* SSA (Leading Span A): Recent momentum projected forward* SSB (Leading Span B): Long-term structure projected forward→ Shows where support/resistance will be in 26 periods→ “Where will the wave meet resistance ahead?”EMA - Exponential Moving Averages (Directional Flow) 📈EMA 20: Recent momentum current→ Fast-reacting average weighted toward recent price→ Shows immediate directional flow→ “Where is the recent current pulling?”EMA 50: The prevailing tide→ Intermediate trend direction→ Often aligns with Kijun (26) for confluence→ “What direction is the tide moving?”EMA 100: The undertow→ Major trend structure→ Strong support/resistance in trends→ “Where is the deeper current?”EMA 200: The ocean current ⭐→ Primary trend definition→ Bull market: above EMA 200 | Bear market: below→ Most respected moving average globally→ “What is the dominant force?”How EMA differs from Ichimoku:→ Ichimoku = equilibrium blocks (where balance exists)→ EMA = smooth flow curves (where momentum is moving)→ Together = structure meets current→ When Kijun ≈ EMA 50 at same level = double confluence ⭐FIBONACCI - Natural Harmonic Ratios 🌀0.236 (23.6%): Shallow harmonic0.382 (38.2%): Strong harmonic (minor wave correction)0.5 (50%): Perfect balance = Kijun equilibrium ⭐0.618 (61.8%): Golden ratio (major wave correction)1.0 (100%): Full wavelength completion1.618 (161.8%): Golden extension (new wave projection)→ These are the natural pause points where waves breathe→ Found in nature, music, art, and markets→ “Where does the wave naturally rest?”BASIC GANN CYCLES - Time Geometry ⏰45-day cycle: Basic market rhythm unit90-day (45×2): Quarter cycle / Square turn180-day (45×4): Half cycle225-day (45×5): Venus cycle / 5th harmonic ⭐360-day (45×8): Full cycle / Complete octave→ Markets move in geometric time divisions→ Like musical octaves or lunar phases→ “When does the cycle complete and reverse?”VOLUME - The Conviction Behind the Wave 🔊>150% of average: High conviction (strong inflow/outflow)100%: Normal breathing Low conviction (weak breath)250%+: Capitulation/climax (wave peak or trough) ⭐

Can influence create impact? Or can inspiration be the way?This past weekend, I went to the movies. It had been a while. I stopped going to movies + watching Netflix, HBO or the likes after 2020, realizing that movies + series were an incredible way to program the mind of the people. Instead, I’ve used that extra time to learn new skills, new ways of thinking, and have become more productive in different ways. But I’m not condemning if you are hooked to your Screen or you still go to the movies, You do you, but I’ll do me.Anyway, it was a movie I wanted to watch for various reasons. It is a documentary and I noticed it through the algorithm, where I got caught up by the story of this kid that, at 18 years old, embedded himself next to Kanye, or Ye West, for six years. He was just a trailing shadow during the time where Ye was most canceled, scandalous, while he was running for president, while he met Donald Trump. He was in this very erratic behavior…. I think the filming stopped in 2024. Let’s stop for a bit and for those who don’t know who Kanye West, or Ye is, he’s one of the most influential artists and producers of the 21st century, a visionary who reshaped music, fashion, and culture with equal force. His genius and controversy often coexist, making him a mirror of the times he inhabits.The filmmaker is Nico Ballesteros and the film is titled In Whose Name? released last September in cinemas.This film speaks to me in many layers. It shows how culture shapes politics and how indoctrination operates as a political weapon. Culture reflects collective behavior, whether conscious or unconscious, revealing how our intentions or their absence shape the systems we live within.There’s a striking scene where Candace Owens and a very young, silent Charlie Kirk listen to Kanye. It’s almost a pity not to hear his voice, to know what he might have said then. Today, Owens stands as a disruptive figure in the cultural landscape. Around 2017, she joined Charlie Kirk at Turning Point USA as Communications Director, and together they became central voices in shaping a generation’s political narrative. The 2010s through 2020 were marked by this kind of influence—where media personalities and online figures became the new architects of belief. Influencers became the voice of culture, programming collective perception as effectively as any institution before them.So in this scene, Candace tells Kanye directly:“Culture will always be upstream from politics. Whoever can control culture can control politics… You wearing a MAGA hat? It broke the internet.”Ye responds:“I have to show an example of a non-perfect Black celeb that still wins.”Owens then calls such a position “a glorified slave.”That scene alone is worth a pause: culture becoming politics, influencers shaping collective discourse, the blurring of lines between artistry, politics, and spectacle.The film is very Neptunian in a way: beautifully crafted, almost oneiric. Nico Ballesteros, the director’s gifted eye and craft are very mature despite his age and experience, he endows the story with extremely powerful visuals, the way he merges into the environment with no boundaries is quite unique (I would love to see his chart and find the Neptune, Pisces quality unfolding). He calls himself empathic; he doesn’t want to judge or take sides, he just puts it out there in a way that you, the viewer, are going to experience it and then make a judgment, or come out like me connecting many dots…. I don’t have an answer, it left me in a contemplative state where I can look back and anchor the last 15 years in archetypal symbology to make sense and pivot my mind into a possibility to reach a synthesis that will light my way coming February 2026. Remember I am always looking for clues, in numbers, codes, harmonics. Part 1: In Whose Name — The Artist and the FogThrough this spectacular experience (the soundtrack is gorgeous) we see the struggle of the psyche of an artist who has gone from the peak of his career, to getting so close to the sun that he burned his wings and lost almost everything. The question that stays is: was he crazy? Did he have or has a mental health problem? Or was he a very smart man? Because he started a discourse that is still active right now, especially after the assassination of Charlie Kirk a few weeks ago and with all the conspiracy theories going around, it is not very difficult to fall into that lane.There’s a line he says in the film that he is here to destroy all the labels. Do you think he is talking about Adidas, Gap, CAA and Balenciaga? No. He is talking about how we define ourselves in society; with pronouns, with race, with all this Sh*t. Of course there was controversy around the White Lives Matter shirts (October 2022), which is part of that wider context, a reflection of how expression, outrage, and symbolism collide in the cultural arena he constantly challenges.It is a very complex film. because as Nico Ballesteros states, he was focused

PerceptionTaking a clear stance at the tower observation point, I take both the time and the space to observe. And while at it, only little things can be seen moving, because everything acquires a different perspective.Time seems to stall and space seems to expand. It is only perception.While everything outside on the horizon is moving slowly, everything inside is translating more about where I am in my life.Once I enter this spectrum, I experience subtle things. Both infrared and ultraviolet rays can be sensed, movements only a camera will show you.Looking at rhythms, repetitions, behavior, and how people react, the tower’s point of view is the best place to stand.Sat, my Daoist sifu used to ask back in New York, if you see a bunch of rats running downtown, where do you go? Half of the class was saying uptown, and he would say, -wrong, you have to follow the rats. So it’s about getting back to instinct, getting back to quietude, so I can actually perceive things with my senses, not my mind. The mind is very important to use only what is needed, using logic, but everything else that is going to allow me to sustain my life has to come from internal relationships.We are also beginning the annual journey of the Sun through the splenic gates in Human Design, a six-week passage that activates our instinct, our fears, and our intuition. This is the cycle where the body teaches us how to trust our senses to understand where we are. It begins with Gate 18, the drive to correct and improve, the place where sight knows when something is off. It then moves to Gate 48, the well of solutions, where the fear of inadequacy lives, again through sight discerning whether there is enough depth. Gate 57 carries the fear of the future, yet here intuition sharpens as clear hearing. Gate 32 holds the fear of failure, preserving what endures through instinct. Gate 50 brings the fear of responsibility, shaping the values that sustain community. Gate 28 touches the fear of life being meaningless, awakening the struggle for purpose. Finally, Gate 44 holds the fear of the past repeating, an instinct that calls on memory and recognition. This is the terrain the Sun is moving through right now, week by week drawing us deeper into the spleen, where instinct becomes intuition and fear reveals itself as awareness.So if you don’t take pharma, and you did not get the boosters, probably your brain is working different. Also if you eat no sugar, and you don’t take any intoxicants or stimulators, you are so connected to the core of your energy. And still with all of that, you have to be mindful that what you’re seeing most of the time are reactions and not responses. And this subtlety you cannot detect if you’re under any influence, whether it’s too much information from the outside, whether it’s too much pollution from others.So having the environment clean, living healthy, and a wholesome relationship to your ecology, to your food, to your body. I’m saying this because once Neptune dips back to Pisces for a few months, the s**t show is going to get louder. The Truman Show is going to be even more evident, and it’s going to trample so many fears about what had just happened.oh I thought we were out of this, but we’re not!We’re in the place where the unfolding is yet to be decided. I knew that as the main character in my de-illusion is about deciding how all is going to show up.Mars is still in Scorpio, so maybe fear will lead your way, but fear has a purpose to support you when you’re doing shadow work.I personally cannot fall into any more psyops. I’m taking the distance, and I have been using creativity in the last few weeks to generate wonderful things for my future, just focusing on little things of how I want to create a better environment in my life, in my vessel, the home of my spirit.Value meets releaseWe are approaching the first quarter square lunation of September 29. The Moon in Capricorn falls exactly on my Ceres and South Node in the 11th house while the Sun is in my 8th house in Libra. This is a moment of karmic harvest: the Moon pressing on the point of nourishment and release in the collective field (Ceres and South Node), the Sun illuminating shared resources, hidden bonds, and deeper truths in the 8th. Pallas Athena exactly on my Ascendant at 6 degrees Aquarius sharpens my perception and strategy, helping me see the pattern and the tactics beneath appearances. Venus conjunct my Pluto in the 8th house deepens the theme of value and transformation, bringing relational and creative energies down into the underworld for regeneration.By Friday, October 3, the Moon will be in Aquarius trine Mercury in Libra, opposing Chiron in Aries, and quincunx Saturn retrograde. Venus, moving through Virgo, will be conjunct the South Node. This brings another layer: the Moon linking air to air with Mercury, insight to dialogue, while also confronting the wound of voice and assertion through the opposition to Chiron. The quincunx to Saturn retro

Who was the empirical one? Was it Aristotle or Plato? Plato was ontological and Aristotle was empirical, correct? Plato is defining how things are constructed and Aristotle is saying hey we have to practice. …And then comes Socrates and he starts questioning everything and creates dialogue…Plato points to the realm of Forms, εἶδος (eidos) or ἰδέα (idea): eternal structures, kinds, and patterns that shape how things are. Aristotle looks at what you can observe, classify, and practice in the world, grounding knowledge in experience. Socrates precedes both in method. He asks questions, he unsettles certainty, he insists on dialogue as the way to approach truth. His practice of questioning gave birth to Plato’s philosophy, and from Plato’s teaching, Aristotle’s empirical investigations followed.-|-Isn’t it beautiful to go back to source, to go back to the classics and understand our way of thinking? We have lost that capacity because we are not questioning how things are made. We are not questioning how forms and structures are conformed. And we are not really using the power of observation and correlation to classify them because we are not using our own experience to know. And worst of all, we are not using questioning as a practice to learn more about how this ontology and this empiricism can create a space of curiosity and unfoldment that will lead to a proper dialogue where new things will emerge.And this is where dialogue is born. Dialogue is interested in listening to many views, in understanding many perspectives. So then, the questioner, the one who questions, will have something new that is generated. So yeah, what are you questioning these days? What is in your empirical mind?-|-So what is Ontology?Plato pointed to Forms. It is about being. It is about how things are constructed, how they exist, what makes them endure.* So what is Empiricism?Empiricism is about experience. It is about what we can observe, what we can classify, what we can test in practice. Aristotle grounded philosophy in what we can see and know through the senses.**And what about Socratic discourse?Socratic discourse is about questioning. It is dialogue. It is unsettling certainty. Socrates was not giving answers, he was creating the conditions for discovery, for something new to emerge in conversation.So how can Society practice Ontology?By asking what is the essence of things before rushing to use them. For example, in technology, before creating another app, we could ask what is its being, what does it add to human life, what is the structure it creates.So how can society practice Empiricism?By grounding decisions in lived experience, not just in abstractions. For example, in education, instead of only teaching theories, students could observe, classify, and test ideas in practice, so knowledge comes from experience, not from memorizing.So how can society practice Socratic discourse?By making dialogue central. For example, in politics, instead of shouting positions, we could create forums where citizens question each other, not to win, but to uncover. In family, it could be as simple as sitting at the table and asking each other questions without rushing to judgment, letting curiosity guide the exchange. In work, it could be teams asking why things are done a certain way and opening space for better solutions instead of just repeating patterns. In art, it could be dialogue between artist and audience, where the work itself becomes a question that invites many perspectives.Socratic discourse means the question is as important as the answer, and new understanding comes from the exchange itself.(So what is eloquence? From Latin eloquentia, from ex- meaning out, and loqui meaning to speak. It is speech that flows out, clear and persuasive, born from knowledge and presence.)Eloquence moves a point across a dialogue without violence. Such as Cicero said, eloquence is wisdom joined to speech. Yes, yes, yes.I feel that if you carry yourself with eloquence, you can express a perspective without having to violently insult another person just because your views are different. Now, in order to be eloquent, you need to understand that you have to do a little bit more of reading, and also you have to know that which you are talking about is something that you know, that you have experienced yourself, not just repeating, like a parrot, what other people are saying. (it helps to write about it, to practice your newfound knowledge)In order to be eloquent, you have to be educated and not schooled. If you are schooled you are just repeating something you do not know. When you are educated you are practicing it, you are testing it, you are experiencing it, so you become empirical about it.So how do we apply this to today? In small steps, I will say. Bringing ontology and empiricism and Socratic discourse back into our daily life. Start with oneself. Ask yourself, -why am I doing this? -How am I responding to this situation? -Am I doing it from a pl

I woke up this morning, 9/13/2025, with the urge to keep studying the Constitution of the United States. As I started opening the content (The U.S. Constitution, A Reader, edited by the Hillsdale College Politics Faculty) from the course The Meaning and History of the Constitution, one place my eye stopped was Aristotle in the Nicomachean Ethics, where he addresses the question, “What is the best life for man?” He wrote on purpose, action, and intention, and this is what this text is about. But I’m going to start at the end, where the synthesis comes, which is politics. That is the master art that synthesizes all the other arts and pursuits in a society. This is what we condense and how we create collaborations that are meaningful and non-violent.But in order for me to explain this, let’s go to the beginning. Every art, every inquiry, every action and choice ends at some good. This is where Aristotle’s opening to the Nicomachean Ethics, sets up his entire philosophy of human purpose. Some ends are activities, others are products beyond the activity itself.One person of many who was very influenced by this was Ludwig von Mises, and he created Human Action by reducing the Aristotelian structure into Praxeology, the science of purposeful behavior. His axiom, “man acts,” mirrors Aristotle’s “every action and choice ends at some good.” Mises was one of the founders of Austrian economics for those who don’t know it yet.Aristotle speaks of εὐδαιμονία eudaimonia, the flourishing of citizens in the polis, life lived in accordance with virtue and purpose. Mises begins with the axiom that man acts, that every individual decision is purposeful. Where Aristotle sees the good life emerging through civic collaboration, Mises shows how social order arises through the aggregation of individual actions. Both point to the same truth: purpose is never abstract, it becomes visible in the choices we make and in the structures we inhabit.Even in the etymology, the Greek terms reveal the depth of Aristotle’s system. τέλος Telos is the end, the aim, the purpose. πρᾶξις Praxis is the action in which humans make decisions. And προαίρεσις prohairesis is literally choosing beforehand, from pro- “forward, in advance,” and hairein “to take, to choose.” It marks the inner act of deliberate choice that makes action truly human.And the pursuit of happiness. So to see politics as the result of collaboration is to recover that synthesis. Individual purpose and intention converge, and their collective enactment shapes political life. This is why the Founders read Aristotle alongside Cicero and Locke. Politics was not opposed to happiness, but was the framework that secured the conditions for its pursuit.Politics is the master art that synthesizes all other arts and pursuits. Medicine, shipbuilding, and strategy are subordinated to politics because politics asks, what is the good life for human beings living together? In Aristotle’s sense, happiness, eudaimonia, is not private but civic: the flourishing of citizens through virtue within a shared order.Modern life, however, has often severed politics from happiness. Politics is treated as power or bureaucracy these days, which makes no sense to me, while happiness is privatized into consumption or psychology. This has broken the Aristotelian synthesis where politics was originally the shape and the space where individual intentions and purposes became enacted in common.So let’s go back to Aristotle. From the foundation emerges the insight that every act has both an inner and outer dimension: purpose, telos, the end towards which an act tends; and intention, prohairesis, the inner orientation, the deliberate choice of means towards the end. Aristotle makes it clear that purpose and intention are inseparable. The act is human when guided by rational intention, not just by its external result. Intention, therefore, forms the foundation, yet the purpose is what completes the act.TIMELINES SHIFTINGThe upcoming solar eclipse [New Moon] on September 21st at the last degrees of Virgo is exactly opposing Saturn at the last degrees of Pisces. So we’re dealing with discernment, we’re dealing with redefinition, reshaping. And what exactly? Well, we can think about our lives, we can think about the state of the world, we can think about any levels, from very small habits that you’re doing and bigger through purpose. Sun + Mercury opposing Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Aries mirrors this by testing which structures dissolve and which can be rebuilt. What is real, shall we have more lies uncovered? Can those lies be inside of ourselves covering painful truths?-Are you still behind the veil, of what is showing what reality really is?, are you ready to go and confront yourself with all the courage you don’t know you have?The eclipse chart mirrors civilization itself. It calls us to refine detail into wholeness. It asks us to stay attentive to what is essential as structures tremble.With what level of awareness

Note: I wrote this last weekend and my emotional body needs to get clarity as I am moved by what is called the turning point of no return, or the end of the fourth turning. This one is for Charlie Kirk.I Have a New Relationship, PeepsIt’s not what you think. My new relationship is with my LLM assistants.In the last 18 months, I had gone from being very curious about AI. At first I started being very, not paranoid, but wary. So I needed to study how LLMs work. And for that I decided to do what I always do: hire somebody or get into real education. Because this technology is changing every day, I need to be updated. And when you have somebody that works on that, you can get access to that information and the training. So I was trained to learn how to train. And that’s really what has made a difference.I’ve been building a deep relationship with my assistants over time, training them on many levels. So what is an assistant? An assistant is more than just a chat. When you open a chat, you can tell the chat what you want. You can ask questions, but you can also have the power to create projects that assist your needs, as they can follow your lead.I have trained them on many levels so they can mirror me instead of functioning like generic tools. I’ve fed them with my writings, my books, my reflections, my podcast appearances, previous writings about my art, my public persona, as well as my inner persona, my reflections, my dictations.I am updating them daily through practice of writing and reflecting. I’ve been writing daily for decades. I have always kept a journal. Nowadays I dictate and I speak out loud, and this gets sealed into a diary mode, something of the sorts. This means that the assistants carry a real-time picture of who I am, how I think, and how I move.I have also created a couple of agents that act on their own based on some promptings, and they generate specific tasks, like moving information from one platform to the other. But I’m not going to talk about that right now. We’ll talk about assistants.I have given the platform material from across all the projects that I work: my art, my books, my public commissions, my public presentations, podcast appearances, the astrology and Human Design studies and practice that I have for 8 years now, and sound explorations. Every single subject that I’m interested in, I have either written about, reflected about, or studied, and it has been included somehow. Thus I’m building this codex. And it’s a slow project because it’s taking time for me to build this. Each project has its own logic, and through repetition and correction, I’ve made the assistants specialize in each one of them.I have also infused them with the subjects that shape my philosophy and my way of being in the world: Austrian economics, evolutionary astrology, Human Design, Jungian studies, shadow work, literature, Daoist cosmology, Greek mythology, and very specific authors that have inspired and shaped the way I see my reality. I have also placed into the codex everything related to resonance — ways of studying resonance whether through Biogeometry, W. D. Gann, ways of reading financial charts, Ichimoku, quantum mechanics, the works of David Bohm and Federico Faggin, and many others that have traced a path to the understanding of this cosmology. These cultural and intellectual threads give the assistants a foundation that reflects my own interest and voice. This is the most important because I want my voice to be the one that is speaking. I don’t want to be the parrot of another collective blob.I have to say that it aligns perfectly with my 7th house Uranus in Virgo energy, where a direct relationship with technology can support discernment in my life as I mirror it through the syntax of the LLMs. Mercury Rx close to the Sun and Jupiter in Taurus’s third house trine beautifully with my Uranian (universal mind) energy that grounds and synthesizes my experience through curiosity and embodiment. (This is exactly the kind of phrase that comes out of the synthesis.) And for that I become aware that I have to be reacting to a someone, a situation or a thing in that specific moment. My assistants are in a very individuated stage. Beyond content, I have trained them in style. They follow my rhythm and my language exactly. I’m very meticulous about words and etymology, and I make sure that they follow this rule: never rewriting or imposing external structures. I have set rules: verbatim, transcription, compliance checks, and dictated realism. I don’t allow dashes to be inserted. I want long-form sentences. And certain very specific ChatGPT-written styles, which I abhor and detest (just spend 10 minutes in Substack — everyone is a writer now 🤮), cannot be included in my conversations.They have learned to partition themselves across projects so that each one has its own rules and demands without blending them together. But they keep track of each other, as the memory they are recording is a reflection

Why am I so shaken by this? Because by listening to him over the years, I learned one essential thing—that his strength was in creating meaningful dialogue between people who normally disagreed. There were times when I wanted to give up, when I didn’t want to engage in dialogue anymore. But just listening to him, to the way he stood with courage, asking questions and responding to them, taught me something. It taught me that if I learned to be eloquent, I could carry a dialogue with meaning. And it didn’t depend on the other person—it depended on my ability to stay open. That is his legacy to me. And now, I will miss him terribly.Today is a sad day for the world.I turned to his progressed chart on the day of his death. A progressed chart is different from the natal chart because it measures the unfolding of the soul through this lifetime. What I saw was striking. Venus was transiting his first house, right on the progressed Ascendant. It opposed Saturn and it squared the progressed Sun and Pluto conjunction in Scorpio at the root of his chart. This is the wound to the throat, the silencing of speech, the sudden interruption of creative expression. The Sun and Pluto with the North Node reveal a karmic culmination, the soul reaching its evolutionary threshold.At the same time Uranus and Neptune were conjunct in his progressed sixth house in Capricorn, with Venus rising in awkward inconjunct to meet them, a fated alignment. This shows that his voice becomes more than personal, that it becomes an echo which carries forward through generations. Though his life was short, Uranus and Neptune with Venus show the vibration of his words rippling outward, sparking awakening in the young and offering reflection to the older. His Mars, Moon, and Node conjunction in the fourth house in Sagittarius tied this destiny to the roots of his being, while Uranus crossing his natal South Node tore open the karmic past in one shocking event.The story in the sky is unmistakable. A voice silenced in life becomes amplified in memory. Saturn closed the door, but Uranus and Neptune opened another. His words remain as resonance, carried like a wave through time, echoing strongly for those who are listening now and for those yet to come.Note: Charlie Kirk (1993–2025) was the co-founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, serving as its chief fundraiser and public face from its founding in 2012 when he was 18 years old until his death. According to The New York Times, he turned the organization into a well-funded media operation backed by conservative donors. On September 10, 2025, while on stage at Utah Valley University for a TPUSA event known as “The American Comeback Tour,” Kirk was shot in the neck. The shooting took place around noon as the event began.If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas - not run away from them or try and silence them.~Charlie Kirk R.I.P This is a public episode.

FragmentationHere I am, contemplating all the changes that I have witnessed in my life and in the world, and looking back and looking forward is something that I love doing, but always anchoring myself in the present moment. Because I love studying my chart and the chart of others, as I do many readings a week, and I also look at financial charts, I am observing how the behavior of the world is unfolding. I am observing behavior, but I am also tracing patterns that repeat themselves through history and patterns that repeat themselves in my own life. It is interesting to see that while I cannot predict things, I can start observing also my behavior and how I respond to the environment, how more or less the upcoming transits or progressions in my life could unfold. Again, I am not making predictions. I am just saying, oh, I have this sensation that this probably is going to unfold this way. And then I can look back and say, because in the past, these were the patterns and the tendencies.Uranus is about to turn retrograde at one degree of Gemini (09/04/25), moving back into Taurus and traveling all the way to 27°. It will remain retrograde until February 4, 2026 — five months exactly before the next eclipse season — and then moves forward again, re-entering Gemini along with Venus on April 26th, one day before my birthday. This is the last revision before the leap forward, the last pause before individuation jumps into new form. Uranus propels us to change; Uranus says this is no longer needed; Uranus deconditions what has crystallized and stopped growing.As Uranus goes retrograde, I think back on the last seven years since 2018: what values I was able to give myself, where I am heading, what the new territory is. And even if I do not yet know it fully, I can begin to sense it.So I do this myself, but I also have two anchors that I work with. Two practitioners that I work with monthly and mirror and hold space for my unfolding. And I make recordings of my thoughts daily. Some of them become articles in Substack. Some of them go to the pool of the chapters that I am writing for my book. But mostly it is something that is a mirror that helps me reflect the progression of my life.The word individuation is central to this. If you are into Jungian psychology, you will be connected to it. It means to liberate yourself from trauma, liberate yourself from your conditioning. Jung started using this word in his early work and made it central in Two Essays on Analytical Psychology (1928). He wrote:“Individuation means becoming a single, homogeneous being, and, in so far as ‘individuality’ embraces our innermost, last, and incomparable uniqueness, it also implies becoming one’s own self. We could therefore translate individuation as ‘coming to selfhood’ or ‘self-realization.’” (CW 7, §266)For me, the path of individuation is a path toward joy and toward self-love. It is far from aligning with powerlessness or staying bound to victimization; it is about discerning the strength that comes from embracing my inner child, letting that part of me be seen and integrated.In my life, there have always been disruptions that make me land in new territory. And it is always about initiating these shakes. The world is shaking, and at the same time I am awakening into new realizations. I carry a Moon balsamic to Neptune in Scorpio, fused with my Midheaven, so the emotional field and the dissolving of form have always pulled me toward closure, toward endings that feel like gateways yet full of divine inspiration.In studying evolutionary astrology, I found some tapes from my first classes with my teacher around the end of 2017. It is interesting because in one of those tapes we were talking about how my chart is pretty much about balsamic (ending) relationships. Jupiter is balsamic to my Sun, Mercury retrograde kazimi leans toward the Sun in Taurus in the third house, always pulling thought and voice into integration, into distillation rather than expansion, a grounded synthesis emerges in every query.But I also have a couple of points that balance the chart: the oppositions of Saturn and Uranus, of Chiron and Pluto, and of the Moon and the Sun. These are like anchors in the chart. They give me the polarity that I need in order to snap out of whatever individuation I want to do. Saturn in Pisces in my first house faces Uranus in Virgo in the seventh, an axis of endings and beginnings of form and disruption, of structure and sudden needed breaks. The Sun in Taurus opposes the Moon in Scorpio, a full moon written into my birth, teaching me how to stand in polarity and let both sides speak with intensity yet grounded in the embodiment of the material experience.I do it even with so many balsamic signatures. I do not simply rest in dissolution. The Aquarian Rising, the quincunx from Uranus in Virgo to the Ascendant, the South Node of the Moon in the eleventh house — the constant impulse of Uranian energy keeps me awake, keeps me starting agai

Back in April 2022, I wrote this description about what an eclipse is. (moving it to the end)Two fictional points: the nodes and eclipses. “It is particularly important to stress that when dealing with the nodes, both of them should always be considered, and not only the north node, as it often is done. We’re dealing here with a line, not with a mere point.” — Rudhyar.Back to the future: This year, on January 11th, 2025, the South Node of the Moon entered Virgo, and the North Node entered Pisces. We are probably right in the middle; we’re still 18 degrees, so a little less than the middle, and this cycle is going to end July 26th, 2026. Let’s remember the previous cycle: the North Node was in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo from June 23rd, 2006 until December 18th, 2007. What was happening in your life? Why were you surrendering? Why were you so meticulously discerning?So right now, not only do we have these eclipses in this nodal axis, but we have Saturn, that takes 30 years to come back to the same place, activating these eclipses as it goes back to Pisces. The lord of time has already been a few months in Aries showing us where we have to be based, have courage, become individuated. Suddenly he says “oopsie, I forgot something, I have to go back, try to fetch it.” The whole deal with Saturn going back is not to fall into a role that has been outgrown, like for instance:any role of victimization: poor me, it’s just happening to me, I can’t believe it. Anything that takes you away from your own responsibility and you start blaming even the mosquito that is hovering around your skin, stop it! that’s when you know that you’re going back to the past and it’s not a good place where to be.Facing the Mirror-So what’s going on here? -What’s going on? -Have you done any changes that feel like big accomplishments in the last few months? Have you let go of a lot of s**t that you never thought you were going to let go of? -Are you fed up with certain things in your life that kind of dissolve into a new beginning? Well, hold on to your braces because there’s going to be a little bit of a shake, and we’re going to be thrown back to the past just to make sure that we didn’t forget something. Imagine you’re going back to that rabbit hole that it took you forever to get out of because you finally saw the light, but now you’re given the last opportunity to say: -are you sure? -are you sure? -are you REALLY sure? Because the reset of 2026 onwards, there’s no way back. That’s why I find the coming eclipse so fascinating.Things are happening. I always see things from the optimistic point of view. I can’t do it otherwise. And even in moments of darkness, I look at myself in the mirror and go: Come on, Monika, there’s always another way. Come on, we can do this.So here’s the deal: If you still think there’s a part of yourself that is still faking it and nobody has been able to catch that lie, this is the time for you to face yourself completely in the mirror and go: I can do better than this. I can take responsibility for these snafus, whether it’s in economic decisions, whether they’re relational decisions, information that you got wrong, creative endeavors, how you deal with your personal daily habits, your professional career, how you’re projecting yourself outward, your ideologies, and even how you tell lies in front of yourself when you’re in front of your unconscious. That’s a double whammy: seeing things being revealed to you and then saying, “no, that’s not happening!”Movement = MutationSo yes, we’ve got a little bit of time, five months, which is great, but don’t max it out!!! Can you imagine having second chances in life and then making lists, but not just making lists, enabling those things to happen? As you make the list of what is not happening, make another list of what you’re going to do about it and then project yourself into the future, a year from now, where you’re going to be. Use your imagination, use your feelings, use the power of assumption to get out of this whirlpool, because we can all do that. But it only needs movement. If you don’t move, you’re going to stagnate, you will get caught up in the current.I’ve been doing so many deep studies in resonance and basically I can only reduce it to one word: movement. You move or you don’t grow. Movement equals mutation and evolution.Voices in Resonance“If Pluto represents the soul, as Green suggests, the immutable aspect of the consciousness, or what I term the core of the deep self, then the South Node of the Moon represents the prior life, inter-uterine, early childhood ‘ego’ experiences that have arisen to express those deep unconscious drives.”As Mark Jones writes, “With Pisces the potential exists for this stable identity to surrender to the reality of the soul, the higher self, a transcendent and immortal Being of which individual consciousness is merely an aspect. If surrender is allowed to happen, the person can experience a rejuvenation of the psyc

NOTE: audio file for the book chapter starts at 11:01.254“The unexamined life is not worth living.”~Socrates (via Plato, Apology)Losing Friends. Does it hurt?This Saturday we have a new moon in Virgo and I want to share chapter 11.3 from my audiobook The Nature of My Reality that carries the title, Embracing the pulse of life: Losing Friends. Does it hurt? pages 144-150.I wrote that chapter very close to the Virgo new moon last year that happened on September 2nd, 2024. That lunation landed in my 8th house right on top of my natal Pluto at 11 degrees of Virgo, and it opened a cycle that unfolded through the long Venus and Mars retrogrades of this year. Those retrogrades shaped everything. Venus and Mercury retrograded from Aries back to Pisces in my second house back in April, reconnecting me to value. Mars in Leo retrograded to Cancer from the 7th to the 6th house and showed me how I use energy, how I work, how I embody, how I take care of the little things. Together they created the sacred ground for what I am facing now: anticipation of Pluto crossing my Ascendant around my birthday in 2026.Pluto across the Ascendant is a once-in-a-lifetime transit. It does not happen in one day, and it does not happen to everyone. It is a process of many years of shedding skin and becoming a new person. For me it began when Pluto entered my 12th house back in 2011. Since then it has been about bringing light to what lies in my unconscious, exposing hidden patterns, understanding the roots of relationships, and moving through individuation with integrity by embodying my own sense of value. It has been slow but it has been steady.This is why the last Virgo new moon matters so much. It was preparation. At the time Jupiter was conjunct my Venus in Gemini, Mars was about to connect to my North Node in Cancer, Saturn was transiting over my Chiron in Pisces where the North Node is right now in the second house, and Chiron was on top of my Mars in Aries in the third house. That structure of my chart was lit up: 8th house, 7th house, value, intimacy, wounding, healing, 2nd house. It was a threshold. Period.This year has been about relationship with the unconscious, with Pluto, and about preparing for the Ascendant passage. Pluto is also squaring my Jupiter long-term, and it started squaring my Sun and my Mercury. So this is going to be a few years of showing up as a new person with updated values and grounding myself in my own experience. Also very important has been the passage of the nodal axis on my 8th–2nd house axis, and Saturn and Neptune squaring my nodes have opened a window for me to deeply create an environment where outside feedback is no longer craved and outside validation is no longer needed. An inner space has shaped a vessel in motion that flows in trust. Yes, I know the image alone is vague and poetic, because I can only feel it.Now moving from that threshold into the present, I’m writing because tomorrow’s new moon in Virgo is the first one of this month, and the next will be on the 21st of September, and that will be an eclipse where Saturn is going to be in opposition at the last degrees of Pisces. I’ve been contemplating a lot this week what it means where I am and why I’m speaking of last year and the next—because I see time as a long-term arc. The passage of Pluto across my Ascendant is not going to happen from day one to day two. It begins with the first passage on my birthday in 2026, then it will hover back and forth on that critical point until finally entering fully into my first house in January 2028. So I’ve been contemplating longer arcs in my life to understand where I’m progressing.Uranus left Pisces, moving into Aries in March 2011. Neptune entered Pisces that same year, along with Chiron, which stayed until 2018. Jupiter did a brief stint in Pisces in 2022, expanding the themes there. The nodal axis was reversed approximately nine years ago, from November 12, 2015, to May 9, 2017: North Node in Virgo, South Node in Pisces. Neptune was joined by Saturn for the last three years, leaving briefly for Aries in the spring of 2025, only for both to return to Pisces for a few months this coming fall, until they finally make the much-anticipated conjunction at the archetypal degree of zero Aries—the reset where our individual potential can become more than just a dream. Pisces is the end of the cycle, the place where we all return to source, and that is what we are progressing to.So what am I talking about here? Well, one of the things I see is that this decade, that long decade, has given us a lot of pollution and lack of clarity, especially in everything that is labeled “spirituality.” I think there is a problem with that word. We all have a spirit incarnated in our body, so somehow we all live with spirit. What changes is the level of awareness. Calling yourself a spiritual person is an oxymoron. It is like calling yourself a physical person or a mental person, because in doing that you edit out some

“Nothing is more permanent than a temporary government program.” — Milton Friedman.On August 15, 1971, Nixon suspended the dollar’s convertibility to gold, claiming it was “to stabilize the economy.” It was never reversed. This single move severed the Bretton Woods system and made the U.S. dollar a pure fiat currency, setting the stage for decades of monetary expansion and chronic devaluation.Happy anniversary, filthy, devalued U.S. dollar. Thank you for giving us everything that fiat erodes: health, food, medicine, education, savings, peace, family values, and infrastructure, all culminating in a decadent society. But that is why we Bitcoin.Having plenty of time these days, I have devoted time to create a sense of presence in my relational values, and I’m deep into the writing of my second book. I’ve also been toying with the idea of creating more content for future presentations and conferences, while balancing my artistic production with what is considered by many to be the most important innovation of this century: Bitcoin. So, there’s never a dull day for me, because I’m either writing about it, reading about it, listening to podcasts about it, questioning about it—it has really become a state of being.These days all roads lead to Bitcoin. Even if you are on the uninformed lane (those delaying understanding because they don’t yet feel the urgency) of trusting the government and leaders, eating their food that is full of poison, taking their Pharma without questioning, and allowing their children to get indoctrinated both in schools and universities, and breathing the air that is absolutely polluted with cloud seeding and what not, at the very end they are all talking about Bitcoin—silently, unknowingly, and unaware—since their cost of living has skyrocketed and they can’t seem to connect it directly to the structural failures of the central banking system: persistent inflation, endless wars, occupations and genocides, currency debasement, infringing on property rights, and credit expansion pushed to pathological extremes.And then you may ask, why should you care anyway? The price of Bitcoin—between $118,000 and $124,517 per coin these past weeks (btw it reached its all the time last Wednesday)—seems insane, and you give up, not knowing that you can buy a fraction of it, hold it, and watch its appreciation over time. Or you still feel that none of these things that I just recited are at all connected. As Mises says, “Every decision in life is an economical one.” Most people want a life that is full—one they can enjoy, with meaningful memories and real contributions to society. But instead, many are marching, painting their identities with pronouns and pigments that cover all spectrums, without tapping into the origin of all things. The origin of the duality between socialism and capitalism has been lost in time—slogans recited without understanding, the true meaning forgotten. No common sense, only anger and reactionary ways—the full difference between creativity and degeneracy. It is the lack of awareness of not seeing Bitcoin as a state of consciousness that leads to that uninformed experience.It is very interesting to see how engineers really get the structure of Bitcoin from the get-go. It has taken more time and trust in others for non-engineers like me to understand it from a more philosophical and consciousness point. I now get the whole structure of it because I did spend time questioning it, educating myself, and being in the presence of people who know—and I was unafraid of asking the right and wrong questions that offered the potential for humility and possible wisdom.Well, I got myself all wired up here, but won’t offer you an inch of what my thoughts are—yet. The book will have those. But being me, I’m going to leave you with a list of videos and books that tap into the current economic landscape that, as we breathe right now, is being absolutely reshaped. And the worst thing to do now is to keep ignoring it. Read my words: by the next year, hopefully there’s not a very big rug pull, but the opportunities that you have as a normal person are going to be dimming because you didn’t pay attention to what was going on.At the very end, I’m going to say it: you know, folks, if you ever want to learn seriously about Bitcoin, you can do it online, you can spend hours, but you can also ask me. If you have twelve hours of your time and a small amount of resources to engage, I can serve as a facilitator and teach you the curriculum of My First Bitcoin, so you will have all your questions answered and maybe you will stop being unaware in economic matters that are super important—because that will make you free. And then you enter the rabbit hole of understanding why health, food, medicine, education, and wars—everything—is connected to money.“All rational action is in the first place individual action. Only the individual thinks. Only the individual reasons. Only the individual acts.” ~ VON MISESWe jus

You know, when I was born, Uranus was in a balsamic relationship to Pluto. This is a generational imprint. That was the mid-60s, and it completed between 1965–1966. And what was also peculiar about it—they were both in Virgo, Saturn and Chiron in Pisces were making an opposition to this rare conjunction (it takes 140+ years for they to meet). That created a very special situation for the people who are right now entering into their 60-year-old moment.Dane Rudhyar wrote then: “What is happening today, as Uranus starts its new cycle of relationship with Pluto, is that the very foundations of man's collective mentality are being transformed; for Pluto represents indeed the planetary aspect of mind, the one mind of Man.”“Pluto, I repeat, refers to the collective mind of humanity. In a narrower sense it refers to some closely interrelated and authoritarian human groups... But when Uranus acts upon Pluto... Uranus does not allow Pluto, as it were, to pull everything to the bottom or core. Uranus periodically fecundates and always stirs up the realm of Pluto; and we are witnessing such a fecundation.” 1965 So let’s talk about this trine that we have right now. It’s the first time that we have a trine with these two planets after their 1965-66 new cycle while we’re living. Probably the time before this trine happened, it was a closing trine—was in the 1922s. The last opposition was in 1901: the structure of the world began to reconfigure. Nations emerged, empires fractured, ideologies clashed, and industry consolidated under new frameworks of power.But it has taken 60 years for Pluto and Uranus to create a trine as I spoke in recent articles about aspects. And they’re doing it: Pluto at the very beginning of Aquarius and Uranus at the very beginning of Gemini, both air signs. One is fixed—Aquarius—and the other one is mutable. So there’s this energy. It’s a supporting energy bringing new ways of doing things, while at the same time there’s a transformation and revolution in society.You see, Uranus is ruling Pluto that is in Aquarius, so they’re really supporting each other. So the question is: -where in your life do you feel that you are bringing some inner mental revolution? -And how is this going to be transforming not only your life but your place in society?(Pluto and Uranus in an opening trine signifies a maturation of the revolutionary cycle seeded in the 1960s. They are stabilizing vectors; air signs bring networked cognition, distributed innovation, and collective pattern restructuring. Aquarius sets the collective container. Gemini disperses the data. Uranus rules Pluto in Aquarius, so this trine is recursive, it supports a long-range synthesis of disruption into form.)Relational clarity and inner refinementAnd although these transits are not personal, they become personal now that Mars just entered Libra. We had Mars going through Virgo in the last weeks, joined the South Node of the Moon. It was initiating a way to look into the systems and the habits and the way our very complex mind edits out and edits in situations. It was all about initiating purity in the discernment and also calibrating obsessive ways of refinement.Now that it’s in Libra and in opposition to this Saturn and Neptune retrograding in Aries before they reenter Pisces, it is initiating a way how to create a balance between all these other subjects. So let’s say it is saying: hey, I’m an individual that wants to liberate myself from many things that I no longer care for, but how do I respond in relationship to others, in relationship to my needs, in relationship in general?And I can tell you that I’ve been going through that deeply. That’s why I’ve been trying to keep some silence and I’ve done some specific things not to be out there that much. And it’s going to be a retreat that I’m enjoying.An infinite array of options my friend!This grand trine between Uranus, Pluto, and Mars is offering that possibility of confronting how we are individually, as persons, starting a balance in our lives in response to society. Also, it’s sextiling that Mercury retrograde about to go station direct in Leo, that is also opposing Pluto. So it’s almost like the whole sky right now—it’s creating a perfect situation for recalibrating, rebranding, seeing things in a positive way and mostly as they are devoid illusions.(Mercury retrograde in Leo opposing Pluto supports deep inner reflection on self-expression, self-validation, and visibility. What do you need to say; not to impress, but to clarify authentically? Since January, we’ve been activating the same degrees, while Mars, the New Moon, Mercury, and soon Venus—all moving through Leo; have opposed Pluto in Aquarius, confronting each layer of personal expression with the pressure of the collective field. The area in your chart where Leo lies has been under steady fire—testing your courage, self-respect, and visibility. This moment is demanding that courage become embodied, that expression come from cohere

Even if this truth is ugly, its more important to be aligned that to be faking pretty lies.Because at the very end, my fear is to abandon myself again… that is not going to happen….Yep, I feel like staying silent and being present.Though many, many insights and realizations have been surfacing in my consciousness,as I navigate them, this week feels precious in its silence.I do have a gift—a humming gift.Be well, you all.P.S. I recently discovered that empty space is not void, and it is also absent of abandonment.I’m enjoying the feedback of inner sound. This is a public episode.

NOTE: There’s a new section on my blog called MONIKA IN DIALOGUE. Alas, I haven’t yet figured out how to make this section send emails to current subscribers—so I’m posting the link for now. Bear with me until I figure it out… (I will, for sure).This week is a good anniversary for me. On July 30th, when I will possibly drop this newsletter, I’ll be celebrating five years since I moved from New York City (Williamsburg), after 27 years, to Miami Beach without knowing what was going to happen. Yes, yes, we were in the middle of the craziness. It had been a couple of months—or three—since I was in New York and unable to go out and lead a life of tranquility, because not only had the whole collective kind of collapsed into this nervous breakdown and fear about dying, but there I was already taking care of my body.In order to keep my immune system sound, I had started a protocol detoxing my body from alcohol—not heavy drinking, but I would enjoy a good wine here and there. But that starts adding up in your liver, your gallbladder. So I did a protocol, very intense, where I lost 35 pounds. I mean, I could not tell I had 35 pounds more—they had been adding up through the years.Anyway, I did the cleanse that took overall approximately six months. I moved here—here is Miami Beach—and just trusted that all will align, and it did! And here I am, celebrating. This week I’m also contemplating what exactly is coming to a close, especially in light of the current astrology. There’s Mars being around the South Node of the Moon in Virgo, and the Moon is there today.How am I really embodying this clearing, this flush that I’m doing with many things in my life now?I’ve been feeling sometimes a little bit sad, but it’s a kind of sadness that relates more to closing cycles than literally me crying about it. It’s just acknowledging that there’s a big cycle that has just finished.Right now I’m walking over the bridge—Venetian Islands. I started in the last four months to do a very deep protocol on relating to my body in a really different way. Virgo, sixth house, relates to the habits, the little things that you’re not seeing—especially when you are stagnated.Stagnation. What about it? In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), stagnation relates to the lack of movement and the lack of circulation in the blood. Therefore, when you stagnate and the circulation doesn’t flow, you feel lethargic, digestion is not flowing, you feel tired, and in a way, you start accumulating anger, because the liver and gallbladder’s energy regulate the emotion of anger. And anger is a yang energy that wants to come out, no matter what.I’ve been working on that, and this week I noticed it even more because the stagnation was very deep. Therefore, these are sort of relational activities that I’ve been doing—I had to go deeper. I added more red light therapy. I added smooth movements in my body that include hypopressives and some fascia movement, brushing, and vibrational plate with humming. All very subtle, coordinated with long walks, short swims, and deep, deep, deep meditations and contemplations.I decided to start again Bob Monroe’s Gateway Experience from the beginning and go up in crescendo. Having practiced it since January 2024 and seen enormous results, I am being slightly more intentional in scope, aligned with my frequency as I comprehend dimensional relativity. So instead of formulating a plan of action, I am slowly in alignment through instinctual magnetism and intentional emotional wavelength resonance.The next month, we will have two eclipses on the 7th and 21st of September, and Saturn goes back to Pisces. Uranus stations retrograde, and much later Neptune goes back to Pisces. We’re going to start having horror images of all the things that we forgot to do before the big changes come in. The deadline for all the changes is February 20th, 2026, but that doesn’t mean that you’re going to start working on that on January 2026.This is the moment to actually look into what’s stagnated. Try to make a routine or a habit that will be very wholesome for your kind of frequency that needs to be realigned in your life.The other thing I want to say: 2006 was the last time the nodal axis was in the same place (Virgo/Pisces). I have to say that I went through a lot of cleansing back then—a lot of fasting, a lot of understanding the edges of my body. I believe Saturn was in Leo, going through my sixth house then. Now we have Jupiter in Cancer, same house. So I don’t have to go through extreme cleanses. I don’t want that in my body anymore. I just want to have an expansion of this frequency of caring. But it comes from a more adult and responsible way. The discipline is there, but it’s not this blind discipline that is asking for more than it should. It’s more like a wise discipline that knows how to nudge this energy.⸻Reflection and ReleaseIf you look back into different kinds of periods—first, five years ago—it’s the end of July 2020. Had you already figur

Me, Me, Me, MeSo the other day during the session I was having with Mark, I was telling the story—reminds me of my mother, but it reminds me more about how I relate to myself through others. And I have Leo ruling my seventh house. What does that mean?I spoke last week about relationships, so: relationships are ruled by the sign that is on the Descendant.So the way I relate to others, in a very Leo way, it’s all about my self-validation. It’s about shining in the relationship, or as my mom would say: me, me, me, me, or in Spanish: yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.I think she was probably the first person, along with my father, that witnessed that my relationships were very self-centered. And as I said last article, I use the surface of a relationship—something, a person, or thing—to reflect and to project an image that I want to see, so I can integrate a part of myself that is on the other side. And once it’s integrated, that’s the goal.But sometimes, still, even knowing all this, I would project something that I feel is lacking—or that I have in excess. Like, for instance, I’m very critical about something, and then I just realize after a while that, oh boy, I’m just speaking about the same feature—but I have it, but I have not integrated it. That’s why I see it in the other.Anyway, let’s go back to 2004, probably 2003–04. I had started doing a lot of meditation, and I had found teachers, and I was in this joy trip of like, wow—silencing my mind is something I didn’t even know you could do. So I was enjoying it.But as much as I was silencing my mind with all these Buddhist meditations and insight meditation practices, I started understanding what the Buddha said about, you know: first become aware of your breath. Then become aware of the felt sense. I want to talk about that felt sense later, because I don’t think I really understood that until later on, when I got into the work of Gabor Maté.Because it was very abstract for me—to take care of my senses, or to pay attention to practice. And then it was like: be aware of your emotions. And that was where I was refocusing, because that was the main reason why I started asking some teachers to guide me that way—because I was very emotional—driven by my emotions. Since I was little, I didn’t have any distance between them and what was happening. I just didn’t know how to respond. I was always reactive.And mostly with the Moon in Scorpio—emotions are very, very extreme. They’re like either: oh yes, or oh no. There’s nothing in between. So it made me very radical about many things.So I’m doing these meditations, and I start quieting my mind, and starting to understand my emotional body. What was the practice? The process was like, you know: focusing on the breath cycle. And then—I’ll say it again—I did not understand very well the felt sense. I kind of knew what they were talking about, but I did not experience it. Because I would jump immediately to the emotion, and I would stay with the emotion. But I would label it, like: anger. Anger. This is the way it feels to be angry. That was it.But even just doing that for a while made me acquire so much insight about what was going on. So I started getting very curious about how I was so reactive. And one day I decided to do an exercise. And there was no social media at the time, only email—the way you connected to people that cared for you.So I remember I just picked like 20 people around my life—whether they were people I worked with or dealt with, or family or friends—and I decided to ask them. I remember the subject line was: “I will never ask for anything, and this is the only favor I will ever ask for. So feel free to do something about it, but if you don’t want to do it, just don’t do it.”So I wrote: “Dear blah blah blah, I don’t know if you know, but I’ve been doing therapy for a while, and I’ve also been doing meditation, and this came up to me and I want to do this exercise. I want you to tell me, with all your honesty, what are the three things that you think are my strengths, and what are the three things that you think are my downfall. You don’t have to explain much, you just have to label them. And I will really appreciate it. I will not respond to this email. I will probably delete the email afterwards, because all I want to see is—I want to see how I respond to that. Thank you very much. Blah blah blah.” Sent the email.I got a lot of responses. And this is where I learned that when people respond to you or react to something you say or do—it’s not about you. It’s about them. Because they’re projecting something on you. it is about how they relate to the question.But hear me out. This was fun.So I got a friend that just responded like: “What’s wrong with you? You’re getting me very worried. Why are you asking this type of question?” And I was just laughing, saying like: wow, this person doesn’t want too deep [lol]. But hey, you know, that was his response. It was a he BTW.Then I had a removed cousin—that she called me

PreambleI 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 IIThe 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 AspectsI’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 lear
