Episode Details

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρός σου, ἐκεῖ ἔσται καὶ ἡ καρδία σου.

Matthew 6:121

Dear reader, bear with me on this winding road of unchartered waters. At times delusional, at times mystical, these territories are where we use our objectivity to observe, verify and discern, so the instincts, intuition, and emotions, which are coded beautifully in our bodies, will guide this upcoming journey that seems bleak and hopeless. 

Shall we keep surrendering to the will of devices we have naïvely trained and believed were working on our behalf (such as our dear mind that is shaped by the conditions that exist in the environment)?

By weaving allegories, using archetypal images, and literal and direct quotations from the sages that have lived before me, I share [in a non-linear fashion] what I have been able to contemplate thus far. 

Remember it is just the perspective from my crystal, each one of you has your own, so use it wisely as we are co-creating reality in unison where we will meet in resonance or dissonance. 

I have divided the text into 2 parts and one Interlude, take your time and enjoy! (2nd part drops soon)

PART 1

Amuse bouche

Pluto in Aquarius, a rare state of observation

Where are we now? How much do we know? And where are we going?

From the top of the mountain, with a gaze of an eagle, I can see a generous valley between two rivers, a place I will keep planting and nurturing seeds of sovereignty, hence sowing the wisdom needed to fulfill a precious empirical life.

I see it without detachment but with objectivity, for we have never felt this energy during this lifetime, and for that reason, it is precious [Pluto just entered 0° Aquarius on 3/23, it takes 248 years to get back to the same spot]. I am taking my time to enjoy the nuances that I am capable of noticing.

One obvious one is how the masks are suddenly falling off everyone’s faces… If we want to, we can see things as they are.

I can sense clearly who I need to connect to and who I don’t need to be connected to.

Things will feel weird for a bit and then we will be thrown back and forth to a familiar place that is just so familiar… but not necessarily a good environment to grow in, as Pluto will go back and forth from Aquarius to Capricorn to finally culminate the entrance at the end of 2024.

This is just a taste of the next 20 years folks, an amuse bouche, a sample of how it feels to be sovereign and be gathering creatively together, or the taste of how by not being sovereign leaves one removed, with no willpower of our own, at the mercy of others. 

At times I may sound loud and angry– yep! Anger is my favorite e-motion; it runs through me as a driver for change. I channel its energy by initiating, being curious, asking questions, and engaging. And when I do so, I become a peaceful warrior that aims to be transformed. 

I am guarding a domain, the one that speaks about individuality and freedom. So at times, I speak as if I am shouting and with tons of passion. Well, you sense it right– it is my root, my drive expanding, provoking, enduring, connecting to fractals that are also with the willingness to do the work. I love it!

-One has to verify in order to trust-

Pluto in Aquarius is not about holding hands in community, it is about confronting the shadow of not being sovereign!

so let’s get our act together before 2027…

No more bargains, I do this for you, while you get this in return, we do what we have to do INDIVIDUALLY, while we mutate, so we can THRIVE
