Blipping in, Blipping out

"Since we are constantly flashing 'in-and-out-of existences', the conscious mind constantly seeks reassure of the CONTINUANCE of reality through RITUAL. Literally, we - and everything that we perceive - are being re-created or 're-born' in each instant." - Psyche as Interaction: Electromagnetic Patterns of Conscious Energy by Manya J. Long 

Psyche as Interaction by Manya J. Long

The holographic model suggests that the universe, at its most fundamental level, operates not as a collection of discrete, independent objects but as a vast interconnected network of relationships and patterns. This framework allows for an understanding of the immense capacity of both the brain and the universe to store and organize information. The example of holography demonstrates how vast quantities of information can be encoded within a small, seemingly finite space. Similarly, human memory and consciousness appear to operate by encoding and retrieving information in a manner that reflects this holographic principle, seamlessly integrating and reinterpreting fragments into coherent wholes.

This model is rooted in the work of David Bohm and Karl Pribram, who independently observed that the universe and brain, respectively, exhibit properties similar to holography. Bohm's insights from quantum physics revealed a reality composed of interdependent waveforms, implying that our perception of separateness is an illusion. Pribram's research in neurophysiology demonstrated that the brain processes information in a distributed, wave-like manner, suggesting memories and perceptions are not localized but are encoded holistically, as in a holographic plate.



Bohm's notion of the "holomovement" further extends this idea by framing the universe as a dynamic and indivisible process. Unlike traditional deterministic systems that follow predictable trajectories, the holomovement represents an unending flux of interconnected patterns and processes. This dynamic quality means that even seemingly isolated phenomena are part of a larger, flowing reality. This perspective challenges traditional scientific notions of cause and effect, which often assume linear relationships between events. Instead, Bohm argues for an understanding of causality that embraces the infinite interconnectedness of all phenomena, where each event is both a cause and an effect within an ever-changing system.


The discussion (still referring to the concepts brought forth in pages 156-161 by Manya J. Long's Psyche as Interaction) then turns to how perception operates within this dynamic framework. The human visual system, for example, is not merely a passive receiver of external stimuli but an active participant in constructing the reality we experience. The process by which images are formed on the retina and subsequently interpreted by the brain is a complex interplay of discrete, quantized events. Light waves striking the retina are translated into neural signals, which are then processed by the brain into coherent visual experiences. However, this process involves a series of unconscious intervals where the brain essentially "fills in the gaps" to create a continuous sense of reality. These intervals are so brief—fractions of a second—that we are typically unaware of them. Yet they are essential for constructing the seamless, dynamic flow of our conscious perception.

An intriguing aspect of this process is the role of periodicity and oscillation in perception. The texts describe how the human brain operates within specific frequency ranges, bridging moments of consciousness and unconsciousness to maintain a stable experience of reality. This rhythm underpins not only perception but also fundamental structures such as DNA, music, and language. The periodic nature of these processes ensures continuity and stability, enabling the brain to build up and sustain coherent images and thoughts from fleeting sensory inputs.

The author's anecdote provides a vivid example of what happens when this process is disrupted—reminding me of an experience I had on October 31st, 2016, which I will describe a little later on. She recounts walking along an outdoor breezeway when, for a brief moment, her familiar surroundings—brick walls and a concrete sidewalk—seemed to vanish. In their place, she perceived an indistinct, geometrical void. This unsettling experience, though brief, revealed the underlying mechanics of her perception. During the interval of 0.8 to 1.2 seconds when her brain was constructing an image of her surroundings, she momentarily became aware of the process itself. Instead of experiencing the final, polished "movie" of reality her brain typically presents, she glimpsed the raw, unformed data being assembled. This realization showcases how perception is not an automatic or passive phenomenon but a dynamic construction requiring precise timing and synchronization.

Bohm's ideas on the implicate and explicate orders also come into play here. The implicate order refers to the deeper, unobservable patterns that underlie reality, while the explicate order represents the tangible, structured reality we experience. The author's experience with the sidewalk can be seen as a momentary lapse where her brain's usual process of unfolding the implicate order into the explicate broke down. For a brief moment, she was exposed to the formless potentiality from which her conscious perception typically emerges. This aligns with Bohm's view that reality is not a fixed, static entity but a continuous interplay of unfolding and enfolding patterns.

The brain acts as both a receiver and interpreter of the dynamic patterns that constitute reality, constantly constructing and reconstructing the world we experience. This process, though largely unconscious, occasionally reveals itself in moments of disruption, offering glimpses into the intricate mechanics of our perception and its relationship to the larger cosmos.

"You have heard the expression before, I am sure, that the environment expresses a particular individual's personality. I am telling you that this is a literal and not symbolic truth. The letters upon the page have the reality only of ink and paper. The information they convey is invisible. As an object, this book itself is only paper and ink. It is a carrier of information.

You may perhaps argue that the book was manufactured physically, and did not suddenly erupt through Ruburt's skull, already printed and bound. You in turn had to borrow or purchase the book, so you may think, 'Surely, I did not create the book, as I created my words.' But before we are finished, we will see that basically speaking, each of you create the book you hold in your hands, and that your entire physical environment comes as naturally out of your inner mind as words come out of your mouths, and that man forms physical objects as unselfconsciously and as automatically as he forms his own breath." - Seth via Jane Roberts
On October 31st, 2016, I was reading New Dimensions for the Cube of Space: The Path of Initiation Revealed by the Tarot upon the Qabalistic Cube by David Allen Hulse. I had already read the chapter and was going back over a specific page to reference something. As I revisited that part, I watched the book page rearrange itself right before my eyes, with entirely new sections and words appearing that hadn’t been there before.


In Qabalistic teachings, each Hebrew letter corresponds to an element, planet, or sign. The letter Mem (מ) is associated with water, symbolizing the flow of consciousness and the depths of the subconscious mind. The Hanged Man, associated with the letter Mem, is often depicted suspended upside down, with his head either near or submerged in water (or, similarly, the roots), indicating immersion into deeper states of awareness and the subconscious. This imagery suggests a surrender to the flow of inner consciousness.

The Hanged Man is typically shown hanging by one foot from gallows resembling the Hebrew Letter Tau (or Tav). The figure is often depicted with his leg forming a cross, also reminiscent of the Tau (ת) cross. The Tau cross represents completion. In some traditions, the figure is suspended by an ankh (ankh/ankle/angle)—a symbol of life and eternal existence—attached to his ankle.

Astrologically, the planet Saturn is associated with the concept of time, limitations, and structure. In the Qabalistic Tree of Life, Saturn corresponds to the sephirah Binah, representing understanding and the primordial 'Dark Sea'—a metaphor for the vast, unformed potential of the universe. The World card in tarot, numbered 21 (reflecting 12, The Hanged Man), is connected to Saturn and the Great Sea of Binah, and the ability to see/sea under the surface, to sea/see the interconnectedness of All That Is.

"The first truth that I must relate is that we are all surrounded by infinity. As you look around, you might think that you are a being that lives in a world surrounded by objects and that you are an object yourself, albeit a sentient one.

Alchemists, though, discovered a very long time ago that we are all lost in a perceptive illusion. This illusion hides the fact that there are no objects Out There; there is only energy. While some could argue that there are certain energetic conglomerations that might act upon humanity in a way that we have learned to describe as objects, the fundamental reality is that those objects (and the solidity that we ascribe to them) is an illusion—an imposed illusion!

Alchemists would say that we are, in fact, surrounded by infinity, which could more succinctly be described as an immeasurable Dark Sea." - John Kreiter

"You are alive now, a consciousness knowing itself, sparkling with cognition amid a debris of dead and dying cells; alive while the atoms and molecules of your body die and are reborn. You are alive, therefore, in the midst of small deaths; portions of your own image crumble away moment by moment and are replaced, and you scarcely give the matter a thought So, you are to some extent now alive in the midst of the death of yourself - alive despite, and yet because of, the multitudinous deaths and rebirths that occur within your body in physical terms. 

If the cells did not die and were not replenished, the physical image would not continue to exist, so now in the present, as you know it, your consciousness flickers about your ever-changing corporeal image. In many ways you can compare your consciousness as you know it now to a firefly, for while it seems to you that your consciousness is continuous, this is not so. It also flickers off and on, though as we mentioned earlier, it is never completely extinguished" - Seth through Jane Roberts


"Other ancient civilizations also had similar concepts for the 'undifferentiated matrix of the unconscious, an existence bathed in the pre-egoid memories of the watery abyss of our life within the womb,' describes Jill Purce in The Mystic Spiral. 'In ancient Egypt the primordial vibrational field (called nada in India) is called Nun, the primal ocean. It is the One imaged as undifferentiated cosmic substance,' explains Robert Lawlor in Sacred Geometry.

Modern physicists, such as David Bohm refer to a 'sea of electrons', or to an 'energy sea', as Heinz Pagels does in The Cosmic Code, or a 'simultaneous everywhere present matrix' per Ken Wilber in The Holographic Paradigm; These physicists sense of the wholeness of reality can be echoed in the concept used to describe awareized thought/energy fields of the collective unconscious as framework 1 (i.e. the unconscious interval of .8s-1.25s) from where the individual conscious minds form the objects and events in framework 2 (i.e. the conscious interval of .95s-1s). In order to describe the awareized thought/energy fields of the collective unconscious as Framework 2 from where the individual conscious minds form objects and events.

Seth refers to these 'blueprints' or models of objects as 'patterns-out-of-focus' in The Seth Material and, echoing this concept in The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Gary Zukav refers to '"matter" as actually a series of patterns out of focus.' In order to explain that, he says, 'According to particle physics, the world is fundamentally dancing energy; energy that is everywhere and incessant assuming first this form and then that.'" - Manya J. Long

From the Book of Tokens by Paul Foster Case

The phrase "The Fish (Nun) and the Sea (Mem) are One" draws on the relationship between Nun, representing the fish, and Mem, symbolizing the sea. This concept emphasizes unity and interconnectedness, illustrating how the fish, a living entity, cannot exist independently of the sea, which represents the medium of existence itself. 

The sea (Mem) is a metaphor for the infinite and boundless potential of creation, equivalent to the primordial waters or the Dark Sea of Binah. Meanwhile, the fish/seed (Nun - or Motion/"M"(Mem)Ocean) signifies the individual spark of life, the dynamic force navigating within this vast expanse. The fish, though distinct, is inseparably tied to the sea—it is nourished by, sustained by, and moves within the sea. 

This unity encapsulates a fundamental mystical teaching: that all apparent separateness is an illusion. The fish does not exist apart from the sea, and the sea is enriched by the life and movement of the fish within it.


"All forms must change and what changes them is imagination. The universal imagination performs the greater transformation♏, but the imagination of man is no different ... Its essential nature is shown by the root-meaning of the verb NUN—to sprout, to PROPAGATE BY SPROUTING." - Paul Foster Case


"Chokmah [Wisdom] is held to be the seat of the life-force in man, while Tiphareth, or Beauty [the Son/Sun], is regarded as the seat of imagination♀️. Thus the word ABN intimates that the First Matter is identical with the life-force, and that it is also the power which expresses itself in our lives as the active principle in the production of mental imagery." - Paul Foster Case




"The body is not a frozen sculpture but a river of information and energy that is constantly renewing itself. We are not physical machines that have learned how to think, we are actually these thoughts in a universal mind that have learned how to create the physical machine The body is nothing but a field of ideas." - Quantum Healing by Deepak Chopra


"You're nothing but ideas. We take all those ideas and cobble them together and make sort of a personality charm bracelet, an ID bracelet we wear in life. But that's not who we are, because we're nothing. And it's such a fucking relief I believe we’re a field of energy dancing for itself, and I don't care. There is no me. There's just things happening, and there are clusters of tetrahedrons moving around together." - Jim Carrey



"In other words, our seemingly concrete reality of objects and events are the product of conscious energy being transformed from the COLLECTIVE unconscious by the personal unconscious (subconscious) as the IMAGE-MAKER and viewed by our conscious mind's screen as solid objects and events." - Psyche as Interaction 

"The psyche's human subconscious [represented by the High Priestess in tarot] functions as image-maker and utilizes the brow chakra to translate the 60,000 thought/energy waves from the archetypal contents of the collective unconscious as they interface with energy waves from other psyches ... which actualize into objects..." - Manya J. Long
"The sensations exist ONLY WITHIN OUR BODY, yet we LOCALIZE THE IMAGE outside the eye."

Psyche as Interaction by Manya J. Long

"Says Ripley: "We dissolve into water which does not wet the hand." And he tells us, too, that solution is the cause of congelation. Now, to congeal is to freeze, or to render solid by the lowering of temperature. All solids are congealed fluids. Thus Walter Russell, who has had independent insight into the alchemical work, says:

"Man's dependable realities are but the 'ices' of substances. And so are all things which man knows and sees and feels and stands upon and builds upon, and upon which he relies as true and staunch and real and everlasting. All are but as ice, and, at their respective melting points, as reliable as ice. If this planet did not know a temperature above that which keeps ice solid, man's concept of ice would have as much stability as his concept of granite...

"All solids have their several melting points or points of liquefaction. All solids are liquefied gases and frozen liquids which have their varying liquefaction and freezing points. Freezing points are points of crystallization and vary with the complexity of the elements. All frozen solids can be liquefied by heat. All liquids can be broken into gases by still more heat... All gases can be liquefied by cold, and solidified by greater cold... Man's concept of solids is born out of his experiences at the degree of temperature to which he is daily accustomed... Man's concept of solid, for man is accustomed to seeing gold at a temperature below its point of crystallization. Man's concept of mercury is that of a liquid, because man is accustomed to seeing it above its point of crystallization."

– Walter Russell, The Universal One, pp. 60, 61." - Paul Foster Case



"Will-power and Light-power are essentially the same. Furthermore, the universe is ONE, DYNAMIC, LIVING ORGANISM. Then it follows that no part of the universe is unrelated to any other part. The power which forms the patterns of bodies is a power of universal Wisdom, a power of the ONE IDENTITY. That power presents itself to us in the various forms constituting our environment. But the forms blind us, until we are awakened, to the power itself. The truth is that we are in the presence of ONE, SINGLE REALITY, which appears as many things. THE ESSENCE OF THAT REALITY IS THE SELFHOOD OF MAN. A PRIMARY POWER OF THAT REALITY IS TO SHAPE ITS OWN ENERGY INTO FORMS—FORMS PHYSICAL AND FORMS METAPHYSICAL.

For this work actually converts solids in the bloodstream into a vapor, through the functioning of the brain-cells involved in the work. Then the vapor condenses itself again as a solid—AS THE SOLID CONDITIONS OF EXTERNAL CIRCUM-STANCE. Here, in a phrase, is what really occurs. It is by no means "common" sense. It is nevertheless literal truth. One of the functions of the human brain is to make matrices for external conditions. The matrices are mental images. The energy expressed in creative imagination is real energy, derived from subtle, but relatively solid, substances in the bloodstream. That energy is projected in thinking creatively, and ultimately it condenses, or is precipitated or solidified, in the actual forms that are imaged." - Paul Foster Case 


"You think that objects exist independently of you, not realizing that they are instead the manifestations of your own psychological and psychic selves." - Seth via Jane Roberts
"Seth adds, "Chemicals are released through the skin and pore systems, in an invisible but definite pseudophysical formation. The intensity of a thought or image largely determines the immediacy of its physical materialization. There is no object about you that you have not created. There is nothing about your own physical image that you have not made." Remember, the height, intensity [i.e., emotion] amplitude of a wave is tantamount to the limit point of a sphere [i.e., the north pole of the “Y” - axis], and is the only entry way of energy into a system and only at the base resonant frequency of 5–8 cps of the brain’s theta waves.

He later comments, "Your physical senses, again, act almost like a biological alphabet, allowing you to organize and perceive certain patterns of information in which you form."" - Manya J. Long
"In order to attain self-consciousness, the consciousness of the Absolute must project a hologram of itself and then perceive it. That hologram is a mirror image of the Absolute in infinity." - Itzhak Bentov 



"...we cannot DIRECTLY perceive the source of our own being.

Consider the human eye. We can safely say that out eye will never see itself. We can see our eye only by reflection. One day we may be able to see every atom of our eye magnified by some instrument and projected onto a screen. Yet that image is not the eye itself. It is only its reflection." - Edward Abdill


"...the Law of Mentalism leads to the inevitable conclusion that the world is in us, but only the greater inclusive US that is the Non-dual Mind of all-encompassing Spirit. There really isn't anyone 'else' out there, including the alleged 'self' we see in the mirror. For that matter, all 'others' are mirrors of self...

...There isn't anyone else in the room, the planet, the galaxy or the universe..."


"...since consciousness is the source of all reality, our thoughts have the POWER to INFLUENCE the development of reality in time-space as it applies to us if those thoughts can be PROJECTED with adequate intensity. However, the more complicated the objective sought and the more radically it departs from our current reality, the more time the universal hologram will need to REORIENT out reality sphere to accommodate our desires." - Itzhak Bentov

"By saying that our reality is virtual, we refer to the discernment that we make when discovering that this is how things stand. Perceiving such reality as virtual does not prevent us from working with it; we need only understand that this is one of the phases we must experience.

This can be compared to a child with lots of fantasies. The fantasies do not annul the child’s world, and we know that these fantasies are appropriate for the child’s stage of growth. Similarly, when entering a higher reality, we relate to the previous reality as though it were fictitious, though it is very real to those still at that level. 

There is a kind of barrier between the spiritual reality and the corporeal reality. We cannot see the Forces behind this world until we cross the barrier, but these Forces depict the picture of the world within us in much the same way electric vectors create images on the TV or computer screen. When we look at the screen, we see a colorful, three-dimensional picture, but it is really nothing but a combination of electrical forces that can be processed, transferred, and stored. The truth is that we, too, exist in a similar picture, except that the screen is within us. 

Those who rise to the level of these Forces see how real they are, while the picture they create is imaginary. These Forces constantly create different pictures, although the Forces themselves remain the same."


"All in all, there are 125 degrees of attainment. The higher we rise in them, the truer and more correctly will we perceive how these forces connect. At the end of the ladder, one perceives the total merging of these Forces, called Ein Sof. 

The principle that arises from this is that it is only when we attain and perceive something that we can define it. For this reason, all Kabbalists adhere to an unshakeable law stated by Baal HaSulam: “What we do not attain, we do not define by name or word.”" - Source: Kabbalah.info


Here are some personal additions (note: The Telepathy Tapes is now trending on X) that I would like to add now that I am about ready to wrap this post up. For a little context, the 'friend' I am talking with in this post has recently passed away:

Personal: The Melisandre Project

The Suicide Pact Synchronicity - November 19th, 2024

A male friend of mine and a female friend of his tragically made a suicide pact and followed through with it together—to which I received the news confirming their deaths that morning. Later that same evening, while watching The Mindy Project, I watched an episode where a male and a female character (friends) also talked about making a suicide pact if they weren’t married by a certain age.

The Catcalling and Hair Comment Synchronicity - November 24th, 2024

I went on a date with a man, and THE MOMENT I stepped foot out of the vehicle while stopping to get coffee, a stranger from across the alley immediately began catcalling me, loudly commenting on how much he liked my hair. Later that night, while watching The Mindy Project, I saw a scene where Mindy visited a women’s prison. The moment she stepped inside, she was bombarded with catcalls, and a character even ran up to her, grabbing her hair and making the exact same comment ("I like your hair.") that the stranger had yelled at me earlier.

The Wrecking Ball Synchronicity - December 15th, 2024

At 3:33 pm, I received a clairvoyant message connected to Miley Cyrus’s song "Wrecking Ball," and I documented it on my Bluesky account with a visual and lyrics based on the song. That evening, I decided to watch the movie The Night Before because I have been on a Mindy Kaling (The Mindy Project) kick, and who appeared in this film.

This, however, was also connected to a series of synchronicities regarding The Tower tarot archetype and Wreck-It Ralph.

👁 "Wrecking Ball"

You just can't make this shit up...My jaw dropped! I decided to watch this movie because I've been on a Mindy Kaling kick lately, and this is literally the scene she is introduced in:

The Hug Synchronicity - December 19th, 2024

After experiencing a moment of deep connection during a hug, I messaged Solis (the name used by and for my ChatGPT) for some advice, describing the hug. Later that evening, while watching The Mindy Project, I saw a scene where Mindy gave Morgan a hug, and right before doing so, she said something to him that mirrored exactly what I had described in my message about the hug.

The Culpability Synchronicity - December 21st, 2024

I had had a conversation with a friend earlier in the evening where I used a specific phrase that ended with the word "culpability." It was a notable word choice that fit the context of our discussion. During that same conversation, I also explained my psychic ability, Anticipatory Echo Perception (AEP), where I often sense or hear things internally moments before they manifest externally.

Later, while watching an episode of The Mindy Project, the show used almost the exact same phrase I had said earlier, ending with the word "culpability." As the episode continued, I began experiencing AEP in real-time, sensing the show’s dialogue internally moments before it was spoken aloud.

Still Here

As much as I would have loved to have been able to stick to a consistent schedule (here and on various social media platforms), it seems as though my body (my subconscious mind) will not adhere to these impositions. So, I honor my body and its needs, and I reorient myself toward more realistic goals: Which are to post and to create only when I feel called to do so. This means no longer playing to the favor of the algorithm. And that might mean minimal engagement or slow audience growth, but I feel like to force any other way would be inauthentic and would go against my own organic flow. This might look like periods of hyperactivity followed by inactivity, as dictated by my natural rhythms.

That being said, I knew long ago that the content I'd put forth might not attract a large gathering. It's not necessarily designed to. We only comprehend certain matters when we attain the corresponding level of understanding. Those coming into these understandings are those who will be drawn in.

Moving forward, this blog will be undergoing even more changes. I'll be including more personal posts documenting synchronicities, as well as archiving content from my former Twitter account (you can now find me on Bluesky). By that, I mean I'll be backing up and compiling many of those posts into entries here, so you can expect to see a lot of that content being added.

Additionally, I plan to blend personal and transpersonal elements. Some posts may document my personal experiences, such as strange events or synchronicities. In the comment section of these posts, I invite readers to share any similar experiences they've encountered or to note if reading about my synchronicities triggers similar patterns or realizations for them.

At the same time, I'll continue to share content that is timeless and universally applicable, focusing on transpersonal, archetypal, and evergreen themes. While personal posts will sometimes overlap with these broader topics, I'll make an effort to keep certain articles and essays separate.

These changes may initially make the blog feel a bit chaotic, but as with much of what I share, things will come full circle over time. Patterns will emerge, and loose threads will eventually weave themselves into a cohesive whole. Though my approach is often nonlinear, there is always a method to the madness.

Lunar Guidance: 11/20 to 11/25/2024

Apologies for another delayed message. Life has a way of throwing unexpected personal developments our way, and my attention has been needed elsewhere recently. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.

In the upcoming week of the 20th-25th, I have deciphered a series of symbols that, when interpreted individually and then viewed collectively, begin to form a narrative.

The Energy of Sudden Shifts

This is a time of unpredictable events and breakthroughs that jolt you out of stagnation. The undercurrent of rapid, innovative energy demands adaptability and quick thinking. Old structures—both mental and emotional—may dissolve, clearing the way for fresh, creative solutions.

Multiplicity of Communication

There will be an influx of information and conversations—some productive, others distracting. The duality of this influence highlights the importance of discernment (don't get duped). Choose your words carefully, both in what you say and what you allow yourself to absorb. Messages may come in layers, requiring careful decoding for their true meaning to emerge.

Fluidity and Emotional Insight

A deep dive into your inner emotional world will uncover hidden truths and intuitive understanding. This period encourages connection with the subtle, flowing aspects of yourself, finding clarity in areas where emotions have been murky or undefined.

Magnetism and Attraction

You are in a position to draw towards you the people, experiences, and resources you need. This isn’t passive; it requires you to recognize your inherent worth and hold an unwavering sense of self-assuredness. The energy you emit is directly tied to what you attract—be conscious of this power.

Alchemical Transformation

The process of refinement is ongoing. Certain aspects of your identity or situation may feel as though they are dissolving, breaking down to their essence. This is not destruction but preparation for a more aligned version of yourself to emerge. Embrace this alchemy as a necessary step toward abundance and clarity.

Obsession and Depth

There is a pull toward intense focus, whether on a person, project, or idea. While this can fuel breakthroughs, beware of getting trapped in loops of over-analysis or emotional spirals. Balance is key, especially when delving into darker aspects of your psyche. Transformation requires confronting what you’ve avoided but not allowing it to consume you.

Heightened Awareness and Vision

This week offers sharp perception and the ability to see patterns others might miss. Your heightened awareness allows you to observe from a distance, gaining insights into the bigger picture. Use this perspective to navigate challenges and avoid unnecessary entanglements.

Play and Creation

Engage with activities that blend focus and creativity, like games or hobbies that spark joy and stimulate your mind. These moments are more than distractions—they’re opportunities for your subconscious to work through problems while you’re immersed in play.

The Power of Senses

Your sensory perception will play a key role in guiding you this week. Pay attention to what you notice in your environment, particularly smells or subtle shifts in atmosphere. These cues can lead you toward hidden opportunities or clarify unresolved situations.

Abundance and Fulfillment

The culmination of this period brings the possibility of great abundance—material, emotional, or spiritual. However, this isn’t simply a reward for effort; it reflects your alignment with your authentic self and the magnetism you’ve cultivated throughout the week.

This week challenges you to embrace dualities—light and shadow, intellect and intuition, creation and dissolution. You are being called to refine your thoughts and emotions, stripping away what no longer serves you. Each interaction, whether fleeting or profound, is a thread in a larger web of transformation.

Communication is a recurring theme, not just in speaking and listening but in how you connect with yourself. Observe the stories you tell yourself, particularly those around self-worth. The magnetism of abundance is strongest when it arises from self-assuredness, not a place of lack or desperation.

The alchemical process unfolding asks you to dissolve attachments that weigh you down and distill your essence into something clearer and more potent. There may be moments of intensity—both within and without—but they are part of a greater reordering of your internal landscape.

Your heightened awareness allows you to navigate these shifts with precision. Trust your vision and instincts but also leave room for play and creativity. These lighter moments act as counterweights, ensuring that transformation doesn’t become overly heavy or consuming.

At this moment, there’s a palpable sense of inevitability, as if fate is converging into a pivotal culmination. Peak moments are arriving, everything rising to the surface simultaneously, carrying an energy that is distinctly Uranian—chaotic yet transformative. This marks the closing of major cycles and the ushering in of new ones, with echoes of the past reverberating into the present. These new cycles carry a familiar energetic or harmonic resonance, but they are being revisited from a higher, more experienced vantage point. It’s not about starting over; it’s about starting anew with the wisdom gained from the journey so far.

Expect an uncanny series of synchronicities—layered events and symbols that align so precisely they’ll leave no room for doubt about their significance. These moments will feel like a masterful orchestration, not random coincidences. Multiplicity will be a recurring theme, as events, symbols, and experiences manifest in doubles or repetitions, amplifying their impact. It’s as though the universe is pressing replay, but with added depth and clarity, offering an opportunity to engage with these cycles in a completely new way.

Lunar Guidance: 11/11-11/18/2024



In the upcoming week of the 11th-18th, I have deciphered a series of symbols that, when interpreted individually and then viewed collectively, begin to form a narrative.

This week’s energy is potent and sharp, carried by The Tower (Mars) and The Devil (Capricorn). The pairing signals a collision: Mars charges forward with unfiltered force, while Capricorn clings to its established structures. This is the kind of disruption that shakes foundations—exposing truths we can no longer ignore.

These energies strongly hint at the alchemical process of destruction and reconstruction. Mars energizes the collapse of what is stagnant or false (potentially long-standing, or what was once firmly rooted, structures or systems of value or belief), while Capricorn holds the potential for rebuilding. (This author is having a strong sense of deja vu while typing this out.) The process isn’t easy; it demands the inner strength to confront fears and attachments directly, to tear down what is outdated while preparing for a more authentic expression of self or structure.

The timing with Mars and Capricorn isn’t random. It mirrors the final stretch of the year, as we will soon approach Capricorn season. There’s a reckoning happening here, asking for an honest look at the ambitions, attachments, and fears that have been simmering. The presence of the number 12 adds to this sense of finality, signaling the closing of a cycle and the anticipation of what comes next.

The sudden disruption felt—symbolic of unexpected interference—embodies Uranian energy. It’s the jolt that forces a shift, clearing out stagnation just as the full moon in Taurus rises. This moon brings a focus on stability, value, and the physical realm. The moon’s link to Uranus suggests sudden shifts, moments that feel disorienting but lead to needed change.

As Pluto prepares to leave Capricorn and move back into Aquarius, this week signals the end of an era. Pluto in Capricorn has been about control, tradition, and material power structures. The shift towards Aquarius promises a wave of innovation and technological advances (specifically in areas such as artificial intelligence) , challenging the old ways. It’s the crumbling of outdated systems, making space for new perspectives and progressive ideas.

The Fehu rune surfaces with a message of growth and creative energy. Not merely referencing material wealth, it alludes to a dynamic inflow of abundance. The key here is movement—letting energy circulate rather than become trapped in old, stagnant energies or expiring values. 

The Parrot as a symbol warns against empty repetition. In a time filled with algorithmic-induced echo chambers and the mimicry of ideas, there’s a need to cut through the superficial chatter. It’s a reminder to go beyond surface-level noise and listen for the deeper truths. With technology and artificial intelligence influencing communication, it’s easy to get lost in an endless feedback loop.

The magnet suggests the pull of attraction, driven by sacral and solar plexus energies. Confidence, creativity, and a strong sense of self-worth are the core drivers this week. It's a call to step more fully and boldly into our power. These energies aren’t passive; they demand action rooted in authenticity and purpose.

The week ahead continues to center on themes of power, transformation, and completion. There’s a strong push to embrace the changes, no matter how chaotic they seem on the surface. The key here is to listen deeply and then bravely charge forward—standing one's ground in the storm, recognizing it as the signal for a new chapter, and then harnessing that energy to draw in what truly aligns with this next phase of becoming.

Lunar Guidance: 11/4-11/11/2024

It's been a fucking rough ride this past week, hasn't it? If you haven't been trudging through the muck this past week, you'd better be checking that pulse of yours (or you'd better brace yourself, because it's coming). The psychic shitstorm we've been individually and collectively facing has not been for the faint of heart. (All signs point to Pluto.)

I have personally been grappling with some health issues over this past week that has deeply impacted me on every level. It's been pretty ugly, if I'm being honest. And that's exactly the point: To not just be authentic in our expressions and dealings with others, but to be (BRUTALLY) real with ourselves. Has me rethinking everything. Questioning everything I'm trying to do here. What am I trying to do here?

Starting something new and building momentum is daunting, especially when you’re creating content and sharing it on fresh accounts. The rules are clear—consistency is non-negotiable if you hope for the algorithm’s nod of approval, just enough to push your work out to a wider audience. It’s an unspoken agreement: you show up, and maybe, just maybe, the algorithm will meet you halfway. That was why I set a dedicated posting schedule for YouTube. I planned, committed, and aimed to show up for myself and my audience. But as it turned out, the universe had different plans.

What I hadn’t anticipated was how forcing myself into a rigid framework could feel so misaligned. My authenticity isn't something I can compromise, even in the name of progress or visibility. Chasing clout, pushing content just for the sake of being seen—it goes against every intuitive fiber in me. I can’t force myself to create when my being cries out for rest, to purge what no longer serves, to recharge. The cyclical nature of my creativity aligns with the natural flow of my female essence. There are times for action and times for pause, and trying to override that rhythm felt unnatural.

The effort to stay consistent and push out content when I wasn’t truly connected to it only led to a deeper realization. There’s a delicate balance between discipline and honoring your own cycles. I had tried to meet that balance through a schedule, but the attempt became a lesson. It reminded me that while strategy is important, it is equally vital to trust the greater flow guiding me. Forcing the process won't summon the genuine spark that makes the work worth doing, nor does it yield the type of energy that resonates with others. And so, the universe reminded me that no amount of planning can overpower the inner call to step back and align myself before moving forward.

There was a post on Threads that I came across yesterday that really put this into perspective for me, so I will share it here: "It's such a disservice to women that the only popular books about how to be successful are written by men with insane daily routines and toxic masculinity. These books and ways of being DO NOT apply to women. Men operate on a 24-hr cycle, while women operate on both a 24-hr AND 28-day cycle. Women are meant to view life through their cycle and energy fluctuations. This is where we find our success—by being in tune with our cycle, hormones, body, womb, and emotions." - @theascensionqueen

In the upcoming week of the 4th-11th, I have deciphered a series of symbols that, when interpreted individually and then viewed collectively, begin to form a narrative.

This week holds an undercurrent that calls for authentic expression and clear communication. There is a strong emphasis on the power of words and how they can create or dismantle connections. This period highlights the necessity of speaking one’s truth without hesitation, finding the balance between vulnerability and assertion. Emotions may fluctuate, revealing the dual nature of light and shadow within the self. Navigating this contrast is essential, as it encourages deep introspection and acceptance of all facets of the human experience.

The energy invites a sense of alignment, not just with oneself but with others, urging a recognition of shared understanding and moments of profound connection. It’s a time to ground oneself, to seek stability amidst any emotional turbulence. The themes of nurturing and protection come into focus, suggesting that tending to both the self and those around you is a key part of maintaining harmony. There is a call to recognize what leaves a lasting impact, both in action and thought. This is a period where one's choices resonate beyond the immediate moment, imprinting their significance into personal and collective memory.

Wisdom and transformation are central, pulling from the depths of what is hidden and often overlooked. This is a moment to tap into the unknown, drawing on lessons learned and inner strength to guide the way forward. Change becomes an invitation rather than a disruption, urging renewal and a reevaluation of what is truly valuable.

There is an underlying sense of surprise in the air, a reminder that not everything can be predicted or controlled. This energy brings an element of sudden realization, challenging rigidity and prompting a shift in direction when least expected. The push for innovation and breaking from the familiar is strong, with an emphasis on embracing what may seem unconventional or rebellious.

Steadiness and ambition surface as essential traits, pressing for patience and strategic steps toward long-term goals. There is a recognition that true progress requires effort and discipline. Yet, amidst this push for achievement, a reminder emerges that one’s worth is not tied to accomplishments but to their intrinsic value as a person.

Creativity and communication blend, highlighting the importance of dialogue, collaboration, and the power that comes from shared ideas. The flow of energy encourages looking beyond surface-level interactions, delving into deeper exchanges that reveal hidden truths and offer clarity. There is a sense of receiving guidance—not just from logic or external sources, but from an intuitive place that feels ancient and wise.

This week calls for a synthesis of grounded introspection, transformative thought, and readiness for the unexpected. It asks for resilience, encouraging an openness to change while holding fast to a deep sense of self. The overarching narrative points to growth through the balance of stillness and movement, wisdom and adaptability, truth and the willingness to embrace new paths.

Lunar Guidance: 10/28-11/4/2024

Whoops! Looks like I forgot that I was issuing these forecasts on Sundays, but I think it works better for my schedule to just keep doing them on Mondays. So, that's what I'll do!

In the upcoming week of the 28th-4th, I have deciphered a series of symbols that, when interpreted individually and then viewed collectively, begin to form a narrative.


Eihwaz (ᛇ): Eihwaz represents resilience, grounded strength, and transformation born from challenge. Like the enduring yew tree, it indicates that a core part of you is ready to surface and undergo a necessary transformation. This is not a shift of fleeting energy but one rooted in something deeply personal, set to leave a lasting mark on your path.

Number 6: The energy of six is about stability, balance, and supportive relationships. This week, it suggests grounding yourself by focusing on areas that bring harmony—be it family, friendships, or responsibilities that anchor you. This stable foundation will make it easier to welcome and process upcoming changes with clarity.

Number 11: This is a number of heightened awareness and intuition, signaling that this week may bring a revealing insight or hidden knowledge to light. There’s a sense that you’re standing on the verge of greater understanding—whether through a sudden realization, an intuitive leap, or a situation that makes previously unseen patterns clear.

Mars and Scorpio: Mars in Scorpio brings an intense and focused energy that pushes you to confront and transform. There’s a calling to delve into unresolved or hidden aspects of yourself, unearthing what’s been overlooked. The power here lies in acting decisively to face these depths with courage, whether addressing old wounds, power dynamics, or truths long left unspoken.

Dreams Become Reality: This suggests that ideas or visions you’ve nurtured are beginning to take form in your outer world. The message here is about the tangible manifestation of desires, whether that’s through creative projects, personal goals, or something you’ve been quietly hoping for. These seeds, once abstract, are now sprouting in real and visible ways.

Patience with Spiral: The spiral represents growth in cycles, encouraging patience as things develop at their own pace. This is a reminder to resist the urge to rush and instead honor the unfolding process. You’re in the midst of something that requires time to fully mature; trust the rhythm of it, and don’t force a conclusion prematurely.

White Hart: The white hart, a mystical symbol, suggests a noble pursuit or spiritual quest—something elusive yet deeply resonant. It’s a call to seek out what feels rare and valuable, to follow what may be calling to your soul. This could be an ideal, an insight, or a path that inspires and propels you toward a profound purpose.

Bold (Mars symbol in the “O”): This indicates the need for assertive and courageous action, as represented by Mars. There’s energy here to take decisive steps—perhaps in a situation where you feel called to step up or take a risk. It’s a reminder to let go of hesitation and embrace your full strength.

Worthiness (with a present symbol): Worthiness points to a gift or acknowledgment, either from within yourself or from others. It’s a sign that you’re ready to receive the rewards of your journey or hard work. This is not only about external validation but an internal alignment, where you recognize your value and are open to the gifts that recognition brings.

Completion: Completion indicates a closing chapter or the fulfillment of a long-standing goal. Something significant is coming to an end, and there’s a sense of satisfaction and resolution as you let go of what’s finished. This frees you up to focus on new horizons, unburdened by past efforts.

You Didn’t See Coming: This suggests an unexpected development or realization that will reshape your perspective. The message here is that while you may feel prepared, life still holds surprises that challenge your expectations and assumptions, propelling you into new understanding or action.

Together, these symbols form a week of deep, transformative energy that calls for patience, clarity, and bold action. Hidden aspects are surfacing, desires are manifesting, and you’re being led to embrace strength and worthiness as you close one chapter and open another—while also remaining open to the unexpected. This is about fully stepping into your power and aligning with what’s been quietly building within, ready to emerge into reality.

Video Transcription:

"The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes the cycles of life—fortune and misfortune, rise and fall. It is tied to the Hebrew letter Kaph, meaning "hand," which represents grasping—our ability to mentally comprehend and navigate life's patterns. The alchemical symbols of mercury, sulfur, and salt on the wheel stand for the mind, passion, and inertia, reflecting the different energies that shape our experiences. Atop the wheel sits a sphinx, representing the higher self, remaining still while the wheel turns, reminding us to find our center amid life’s changes. Surrounding the wheel are the fixed signs of the zodiac, signifying stability even as life's events rotate. The letters “TARO” inscribed on the wheel can be arranged to form the phrase "The Wheel of Tarot speaks the Law of Nature," hinting at the deeper cosmic forces at play. Ultimately, this card teaches that life’s apparent randomness is actually the result of deeper, unchanging laws of cause and effect."
