Perception Taking 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 release We 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
