š± Chiamata di Demetra š±
Dopo un inverno prolungato negli abissi,
Persefone ha udito la voce della madre
e ha rotto la terra verso la luce.
Aveva sognato infinite volte quellāistante,
desiderando lāabbraccio della matriarca,
lo sguardo capace di guarire
le insicurezze seminate
nellāinfanzia rapita.
Ma emergendo non ha trovato Demetra.
Ha trovato un mondo abitato da altre voci,
forse più urgenti, più autentiche,
che le sussurravano:
il destino non ĆØ soltanto essere vista,
ma imparare a vedere.
Non ho trovato chi pensavo di incontrare qui in Perù.
Forse lo sentivo giĆ nellāaria,
prima ancora di partire.
E ora mi sento senza respiro,
fuori dalla zona di conforto
che paradossalmente ho imparato a chiamare casa,
più familiare persino della mia infanzia.
Il contratto della spedizione a Huaraz parlava di stanze doppie,
ma non avevo realizzato che fossero da condividere davvero.
Ieri mi sono ritrovato a dividere la camera con uno sconosciuto:
alto, goffo, con i capelli lunghi e spettinati,
fanatico del metal.
E io che volevo esercitare lāautenticitĆ in questo viaggioā¦
come posso essere me stesso in questa situazione?
Per qualcuno come lui,
forse i gay suonano ancora come unāinvenzione strana,
un mito creato per minacciare la famiglia tradizionale,
aberrazioni del mondo moderno.
Esagero? Forse.
Eppure non mi sento sicuro nel mostrarmi apertamente.
Mi chiedo: si sentirebbe minacciato a condividere la stanza con me?
Il problema sarebbe suo, non mio.
Eppure resterebbe uno strano silenzio.
A volte, nelle conversazioni, cāerano spiragli
in cui avrei potuto dire che ho un marito.
Forse avrebbe imparato ad assorbire la cosa, poco a poco.
Ma ho lasciato perdere.
Saturno retrogrado in Pesci,
che attraversa la mia prima casa,
mi sussurra che ora ĆØ tempo di riflettere e sentire,
non di agire.
Al posto del volto che aspettavo,
ĆØ arrivato un altro: Luis.
Quasi interessante quanto il mio amore platonico di barba rossa,
ma irrimediabilmente etero.
Nemmeno un limerente come me oserebbe sognare.
Eppure, lui ĆØ venuto con la sua ragazza.
Li guardo da lontano, qui sullāautobus
che lascia Lima verso Huaraz,
e non posso evitare di sognare ciò che hanno
e che io non ho mai avuto:
due corpi attraenti che si amano alla luce del sole,
con la benedizione della societĆ .
Fuori dal finestrino, il paesaggio si rivela
secco e desolato.
E mi domando:
non ĆØ forse Persefone che porta la primavera in superficie?
āYou never realize how much someone means to you, until you mean nothing to them.ā
ā William Chapaman
RCP š³
A volte mi chiedo se la prigione sia fatta di mura reali o di abitudini confortevoli.
Sono sposato con un uomo ventāanni più grande di me: la sua presenza ĆØ sicura, stabile, prevedibile⦠come una casa con le luci sempre accese. Ma dentro di me cresce il sospetto che la sicurezza sia anche catena.
E poi cāĆØ lui. Quel ragazzo che non ho mai davvero avuto, che forse nemmeno mi vede, e che pure risuona come un richiamo antico. Ć amore? O soltanto limerenza, un riflesso del desiderio di essere libero, giovane, desiderato?
Tra pochi giorni partirò per i sentieri di montagna. Una spedizione che coincide con il suo compleanno, e con unāeclissi in cielo. SarĆ il destino o soltanto la mia mente che intreccia segni e simboli?
Cammino tra due mondi: da un lato il rifugio che tutti direbbero prezioso, dallāaltro il richiamo di un ignoto che forse non esiste se non dentro di me.
Forse il vero viaggio non sarĆ sui sentieri di pietra, ma in quel punto fragile del cuore in cui devo scegliere se restare o andare.
Saturn šŖ and the End of a Cycle š«
Listening to Mollyās talk about Saturn returning to the final degrees of Pisces (Sept 2025 ā Feb 2026), I couldnāt help but feel it echoing through my own story.
Thirty years ago, I was discovering my queerness in a world that often felt hostile. That awareness shaped every choice I made ā careers begun and abandoned, friendships formed and dissolved, spaces I entered and others I carefully avoided. For decades, Saturnās lessons came through restriction, fear, and responsibility.
There was also protection through a relationship, my marriage to a man 20 years older. For years, I leaned on him as a shield while I tried to find my footing in systems that didnāt feel made for me. But now, with Saturn closing this cycle in Pisces, I can see how it all connects back to my Pisces rising: the call to authenticity, compassion, and spiritual trust.
For so long I wore masks to survive in environments that didnāt want me whole. Yet something is dissolving. The weight of Saturn feels lighter, and I sense a new readiness to live without apology ā queer, creative, spiritual. Maybe I wonāt need the same kind of protection I once clung to. Maybe this cycle is about becoming my own anchor.
Being queer ā though once a source of pain ā has given me empathy, solidarity, and a sharpened awareness of injustice. That is Saturnās strange gift: resilience forged in resistance.
As Molly reminded us: how you end is how you begin. I want to close this chapter with gratitude, authenticity, and the courage to live unmasked.
And then I return to the words of Fida, which feel like Saturnās whisper as he dissolves into Pisces:
The Father Returns To The Sea
Saturn Retrograde | Aries ā Pisces | August 31, 2025
The Archetypal Father dipped into Aries. And what the fire touched, it stripped bare. Now he slips back into Pisces. Kronos, once devourer of his own bloodline, begins the ritual of voluntary succession. He has seen the fire. Now, he returns to the ocean, to the waters he once feared. To the womb that first formed him. There is no crown in these tides, no throne. Only the soundless language of a love that does not need him to rule it. The masculine archetype is cracking open. And every woman alive can feel it in her bones. THE BONES OF THE MASCULINE UNMADE Before the Father became the Warden, he was the Builder, the architect of shelter, the steady pulse around which chaos could rest. Saturn entered Aries with the weight of legacy but Aries doesnāt care for legacy. It is the sign of Origin. It incinerates inheritance to restore origin. In Aries, the boy beneath the man was revealed. And there, he met the wound: That behind every man who tried to rule the world is a boy who was never allowed to fall apart. And behind every performance of strength is the terror of being unloved if seen without it. Thatās the wound Saturn carries back to Pisces. The myth of the invulnerable masculine ā shattered. The illusion of father as fortress ā dismantled. The hollow masculine who mistook rigidity for wisdom. The orphan pretending he knew the way. Now he returns no longer witnessed as king, but learning what kingship really requires: Humility. Accountability. Repair. THE SEA AS INITIATION Pisces waits like an ancient memory, a tide that remembers everything. The liquid truth before hierarchy, before separation, before the myth of the Strong One. The sea teaches what the fire could not: that structure without feeling collapses into violence, that law without contact calcifies into threat, that strength without love becomes a prison no one survives. So the Father kneels in recognition. THE ARCHAIC WOUND The Saturn archetype weāve inherited was never whole. It taught us to equate power with tension, respect with obedience, protection with control. But the Father who never cried, never knelt, never let go was terrified, not strong. And that terror became systemic. It became the bones of nations, religions, families, and selves. It became you ā the part of you that believes love must be earned, that truth must be quiet, that safety requires contraction. This is what Saturn in Pisces has come to dismantle. THE SOFTENING In Pisces, Saturn returns to the feminine, to the emotion he couldnāt predict, the longing he couldnāt dominate, the love that did not ask for his permission. And for the first time, he doesnāt try to master her. He listens. Because the feminine doesnāt need another sermon. Let the inner patriarch dissolve. Let the rules blur. Let the spine soften. And fall inward. This is Saturnās secret: True architecture is soul-based. True power begins with presence. WHAT WOMEN HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG Women have carried this collapse for generations in the quiet grief of being called dangerous for seeing too much, in the bone-deep knowing that silence was exile, never protection. And now, Saturn learns from Her. Because leadership is a capacity, rather than a crown. And real power is measured in how much youāre willing to feel. Saturn in Pisces deletes the executive who doesnāt listen. The teacher who never learns. He becomes the law rewritten by empathy, the father who no longer guards the door but holds it open, the structure that steadies without control, the presence that does not demand. This is the Father remade. As steward. As breath beside.
ā Fida
⨠That is how I want to end this cycle: softer, steadier, listening more than I command.
Molly's astrology update, which inspired me to write this post.

š Week of Aug 18ā24, 2025 | Virgo Portal Tarot Spread āļø
From Heart to Habit ā Astrology meets Ritual
⨠The week between Leo and Virgo season is a moment of inner realignment: from passion to purpose, from dream to structure. This tarot spread is my reflection tool for the week leading up to the Virgo New Moon and the eclipse season that follows.
š My Spread:
(cards pulled intuitively, interpreted in the light of the weekly astro theme)
1. š„ What choice makes me feel truly alive?
ā The Chariot
I come alive when I take the reins. When I stop waiting for direction and become the direction. Aliveness lives in movement ā especially the bold kind.
2. š§”Ā With whom or where can I create a moment of real emotional nourishment?
ā Queen of Cups
This is softness. Itās the friend who listens, the silence that holds, the tea at twilight. Emotional nourishment comes when I stop performing and allow myself to be held.
3. š± Ā What hidden treasure is ready to emerge?
ā Ace of Pentacles
Something new is sprouting ā a seed of value. A gift I havenāt fully claimed yet, but itās mine. Maybe a new skill, maybe just the knowing that I am enough to begin again.
4. šļøĀ What must I release to create space?
ā Four of Swords
The clutter of urgency. The belief that I canāt pause. Rest isnāt laziness ā itās compost. Itās how clarity grows.
5. š§³Ā Which old version of me is ready to be left behind?
ā Ten of Wands
The one who carries everything for everyone. The overachiever. The āyesā person. Itās time to set the bundle down. My back needs air. My soul needs lightness.
6. š§Ā How can I align my daily life with the voice of my heart?
ā Three of Pentacles
Through collaboration. Through craft. Through small acts done with care. My rituals become sacred when theyāre shared, refined, and made with love.
āļø Closing reflection ā Virgo whispers:
āI donāt want a perfect life. I want a life that feels like mine. One that fits like linen, soft with wear, shaped by breath.ā
This week, Iām choosing to reshape the details around me.
To build a life that holds my soul ā not just my schedule.
And maybe, in the soft unfolding of new habits,
Iāll finally meet the version of me that feels⦠whole.
The Comet āļø and The Foolš
Thereās someone I orbit around, quietly, almost secretly. His name is Mateo. To others, heās just another person, but to me, heās a kind of gravitational force. I have a crush on himānot in the simple sense of wanting to be with him, but in that deeper, stranger way where someone becomes a mirror, a spark, a catalyst.
I think of myself as a comet, moving alone across space. And Mateo⦠Mateo is the sun. His pull is undeniable, and when I come close, his energy propels me forward, faster, brighter. But he isnāt my final destination. Heās not where Iāll stay. Heās the slingshot, the luminous point that sends me onward to some place I canāt yet see.
And yet, thereās this uncanny resonance: in Tarot, the Foolāthe card of new beginnings, freedom, and courageāis also called Le Mat in French. Mat. His name. Mateo becomes my Fool, my reminder that I can step off the cliff of fear, shed guilt and hesitation, and trust the path ahead.
Maybe thatās why I find myself imitating him, moving in his direction, as if his choices are whispering something about my own. Maybe my destiny isnāt him, but the version of myself I discover in his light.
Mateo is not my ending. He is the ignition, the signpost, the spark. He is my Fool card, and I am the traveler who carries that energy forward, wherever the roadāor the starsādecide to lead me.
šÆļø Diary of the Eclipse | VirgoāPisces Axis
September 7, 2025 Ā· Lunar Eclipse in Pisces Ā· The Hermit appears
I pulled a card to understand what this eclipse is activating in me.
It wasnāt glamorous.
It wasnāt romantic.
It wasnāt anything that would get 100 likes or a double-take.
It was The Hermit.
At first, I felt a little sad.
I wanted a card about love. About someone realizing they miss me. About reunion or adventure or a sign that I wasnāt walking alone.
But then I sat with it.
I let the card speak instead of forcing it to flatter me.
And The Hermit said:
āYou are your own lantern. Stop begging for someone elseās torch.ā
This eclipse isnāt about the person I thought might show up.
Itās about me showing up for myself.
Not the me who performs for the world, not the me who curates his healing.
The real me.
The one whoās scared, hopeful, tired, brave ā all at once.
The Hermit doesnāt isolate to disappear.
He isolates to remember.
To sort out which voices belong to the soul and which are just echoes of someone elseās expectations.
And so, this eclipse is a doorway.
Not out into the world ā but in.
Into myself.
Into the space where my light is quiet, but constant.
I donāt need them to come.
I donāt need the story to end how I hoped.
All I need is to keep walking.
One soft, brave step at a time.
Lantern in hand.
Eyes open.
Heart steady.

1st Virgo New Moon 2025 Tarot Spread š ā
OnĀ August 23, 2025, we welcome theĀ first of two Virgo New MoonsĀ atĀ 0°22ā Virgoāa rare reset point that asks for purification, smart edits, and practical upgrades. This lunation is jolted by aĀ square to Uranus in GeminiĀ (early degrees), an aspect not seen in over 80 years, which brings surprising choices, fast downloads, and a push to rethink how we work, think, and move through the day.
AsĀ Molly McCordĀ puts it, thinkĀ ācosmic garage sale.āĀ What routines, files, gadgets, or roles have outlived their usefulness? Virgo asks forĀ processĀ andĀ improvement; Uranus demandsĀ adaptationĀ andĀ fresh thinking. Clearing space now prepares you for a season of powerful changes (including early-September eclipses) and a new, more agile version of your daily life.
Virgo New Moon at a Glance
Degree:Ā 0°22ā Virgo ā fresh starts, clean slates, beginnerās mind.
Key Aspect:Ā Square to Uranus in Gemini ā shocks, tech/communication shifts, new pathways.
Pressure Points:Ā A āFinger of Godā/Yod dynamic with Pluto (Aquarius) + Saturn/Neptune (Aries) pushing long-term evolution.
Seasonal Context:Ā Eclipse energies on the horizon ā closures, reorganizations, and reality checks.
Embodiment:Ā Virgo rules the body + mind connection. Support your nervous system while you streamline.
šæ 1st Virgo New Moon 2025 Tarot Spread
Center yourself, breathe, and lay out six cards using the prompts below:
Cleansing:Ā What needs purification in my daily life (habits, health, workflow, tools)?
Release:Ā What am I ready to discard once and for all?
Jolt:Ā Where am I being surprised into growth or change?
New System:Ā What smarter habit or structure wants to be born?
Trust:Ā How can I allow uncertainty and still move forward?
Gift:Ā What deeper blessing or wisdom is offered by this New Moon?
⨠Ritual Suggestions
Declutter with intention:Ā donate, recycle, or archive anything that feels heavy or outdated.
Bodyāmind reset:Ā choose one grounding practice (sleep hygiene, breathwork, gentle movement) and commit for 14 days.
The āNo Listā:Ā write what you will no longer carry (tasks, roles, thought loops) and release it physically (tear, compost, or burn safely).
Micro-systems:Ā set up one tiny workflow tweak (automation, template, calendar rule) that saves you time daily.
Why This Spread Matters Now
This Virgo New Moon highlights the meeting point ofĀ practical editsĀ andĀ rapid evolution. With collective systems changing fast (Uranus in Gemini), and long-term transformation humming beneath the surface (Pluto in Aquarius; Saturn/Neptune in Aries), your best move is to simplify, adapt, and design for your future self. Virgo is theĀ how; Uranus delivers theĀ why now.

š® My Virgo New Moon Download:
This spread felt like a wake-up call disguised as a warm hug. Virgo energy is all about cleaning, refining, editingāand this lunation was extra spicy with that Uranian shockwave vibe.
1. š Cleansing ā What needs purification?
Wheel of Fortune
Iāve been trying too hard to micro-manage my destiny. This card reminds me: let the universe spin the wheel. Stop clinging to the āhow,ā and trust the rideāeven if itās a bit chaotic. Purification through surrender.
2. š Release ā Whatās ready for my cosmic garage sale?
Seven of Cups
Old dreams, outdated fantasies, choices that no longer reflect who Iām becoming. Time to toss out the glittery illusions and keep only what sparks real desire. āØ
3. ā” Jolt ā Where am I being shocked into change?
Six of Pentacles (Rx)
Some dynamics in my life have been⦠energetically lopsided. This card screams: stop over-giving where youāre under-receiving. Itās time to honor reciprocity or walk away. Periodt.
4. š New System ā What structure wants to be born?
The World
Oofābig energy. Iām being asked to build systems that reflect my wholeness. No more fragments, no more hiding parts of myself. Integration. Alignment. Full circle moments.
5. šŖ Trust ā How can I move through uncertainty?
The Magician
The magic is within me. I already have the toolsāintuition, logic, creativity, voice. This card is my reminder that I am the spell. I just need to cast it.
6. š”ļø Gift ā What is the deeper blessing?
Ace of Swords
Radical mental clarity. Brutal truths. Boundaries like crystal daggers. This New Moon is gifting me a fresh mindsetāand the courage to speak it out loud. I can already feel it cutting through the noise.
š§¹ Ritual Notes:
⢠Let go of tasks and timelines that feel heavy.
⢠Simplify, automate, declutter.
⢠Speak the truth. Even if your voice shakes.
⢠Honor what your body says no to.

Full Moon in Aquarius 2025 ā My Tarot & Astrology Journal šāļø
August 9, 2025 ā Anonymous entry
This Full Moon in Aquarius lights up my 11th house ā the zone of friendships, networks, and big life visions ā and sits right on top of my natal Mars (19° Aquarius). No wonder I feel an electric push to act on something Iāve been dreaming about for months. Itās opposing the Sun in my 5th house of creativity and romance, so the tension is clear: me on stage vs. me with my people.
With Pluto now conjunct my natal Mercury, my words have weight. The Air Grand Trine Molly spoke about in her video is pinging my chart hard ā my 11th-house Mercury gets trines from Mars in my 7th and Uranus in my 3rd, creating a channel for clear, inspired communication. The astrology says: speak your truth, even if it shakes the room. The tarot agreed.
What Iām Ready to Release
The World ā Iāve been in constant ādoā mode: chasing the perfect career leap, obsessing over a certain crush (yes, Matheus), always trying to āwinā at life. The card is asking me to step out of that cycle, to practice ābeingā instead of endlessly ādoing.ā Astrology echoes this: with Saturn and Neptune in my 1st house asking me to redefine who I am, thereās no rush. I can integrate before I act.
Truth Becoming Clear Now
Nine of Swords ā My dream journaling has been a revelation. The visions have shown me how often Iāve made myself small to fit in ā especially as a gay man. That protective mask? I donāt need it anymore. Pluto on my Mercury says my mind and voice are transforming. This Full Moon feels like a mask-burning ceremony.
Part of My Inner Visionary Awakening
Three of Pentacles ā My business foundations are stronger now. Iāve been integrating the planning, execution, and learning that keep it alive. In astro terms: my 11th house (future goals) is activated, and the kite patternās apex in my 1st house is pushing me to be the leader of my own vision. The next step is bigger than business ā itās about the life I want to live.
Bold Move Iām Guided to Make
Judgement ā Stop punishing myself for what isnāt mine to carry. SaturnāNeptune in my 1st house say: choose yourself. Let go of guilt and obsession, especially around relationships that cloud my vision. Trust that whatās best for me will ripple out to be best for others ā even if they donāt see it yet.
Where Iām Being Asked to Trust Divine Timing
King of Cups ā My emotional life has been a maze of crushes, projections, and longing. Divine timing will sort it out. The King of Cups is the self-mastery Iām moving toward: emotional stability and intelligence. This feels linked to the VenusāJupiter conjunction in my 4th house on August 11 ā filling my home and heart with warmth so my relationships arenāt about chasing validation.
Aligning My Light with the Collective Good
The Emperor ā This is the part that makes my Capricorn Sun hum. Itās time to take full command of my life. Mars in my 7th opposing Saturn in my 1st is forcing me to redraw the contract between āmeā and āwe.ā I lead best when I live aligned with my higher plan ā the one only I can hear.
My Takeaway
This Full Moon is a personal broadcast tower ā lighting up my voice, my networks, and my vision for the future. The tarot says release, reveal, and lead. The astrology says: do it with strategy, and from your body. My 1st house is the kiteās apex ā the new me is the point.
So hereās my ritual:
1. Write my future plan (11th house MercuryāPluto).
2. Have one key conversation that sets a new boundary (Mars in 7th).
3. Cook something comforting at home (VenusāJupiter in 4th).
4. Publish something that carries my truth (Full Moon on my natal Mars).
The rest? Trust divine timing. š
How to connect your dreams with current astrological transits? šāØ
Iāve been keeping a dream journal for a while now, and recently I started noticing how much my dreams seem to echo ā or even respond to ā whatās happening in the sky. The more I pay attention, the more fascinated I become. Astrology and dreaming are both powerful tools for self-discovery, but when you combine them, something truly magical happens. Patterns emerge. Symbols align. Hidden truths surface.
In this post, I want to show you exactly how I connect the two. So first, let me share the latest entry from my dream diary:
Petrolina: From Neglect to Healing šļø
I dreamed I was standing at the top of a highway roundabout. It was late afternoon, and the light was already slipping into twilight, turning everything pale and colorless. There were scattered people around me, and among them, I recognized a congresswoman I had voted for. She was short, blonde, middle-aged ā overly friendly for someone who had nothing to show for her term. I asked her what she had managed to accomplish in her four years in office. She just smiled, lifted her hands in a āwhat can you do?ā gesture, and said⦠nothing.
She told me she had followed the example of Clodovil, a Brazilian fashion designer turned politician, who once said he had no political proposals but would figure it out once elected. In her case, she got there and figured out nothing ā yet still carried herself with a disarming lightness and sense of absolution.
Suddenly, the scene changed. We were in Petrolina, a small city in the dry backlands of Pernambuco, Brazil. A local tour guide ā a woman with long black hair ā was explaining to me how funerals worked there. The deceased would descend a kind of ceremonial waterslide in their coffin, as part of a performative procession.
I learned that a gay man had recently passed away, and his family had erased his sexuality from the memorial panel recounting his life. I found it deeply disrespectful. So, the guide and I set out to find his old home ā a large red adobe house surrounded by shallow, sky-blue floodwaters ā in search of a note he had supposedly left, asking for his identity to be honored after his death.
We searched carefully but never found the letter. Disappointed, we gave up and left.
Iām not sure if what came next was part of the same dream or already another layer, but I was still in Petrolina ā a place I used to visit during my time as a domestic flight attendant in Brazil. I always found the city interesting, though far from touristy. Dusty streets, sun-bleached buildings, and that dry yellow tone that painted everything.
But now, in the dream, the city was transforming.
International tourists were beginning to arrive, as if something magical had been set in motion. I saw a serene woman wearing an Arab veil taking in the scenery. A bit further along, two elegant Black French men were checking into an AirBnB fashioned out of traditional clay houses. It felt like the city was finally blooming.
I thought to myself: āWhat else could draw people here?ā ā and then remembered the boat tours to the Xingó Canyons, and the nearby vineyards. All of it was falling into place, rearranging itself into something inviting.
Now, while writing this down, I realize the dream resembled a mobile game I often play: Japanese Rural Life Adventure. In the game, you tend a small farm and help bring life back to a nearly abandoned village, attracting tourists and restoring the land. The more care you give it, the more beauty and vitality it regains.
I think that dream was speaking to that same yearning ā the hope of turning forgotten places, whether external or internal, into something beautiful, thriving, and alive.
⨠How is this dream connected to the current astrological events?
The night I had this dream aligned with the New Moon in Leo ā a lunation that brought powerful aspects involving Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune. The themes of the dream ā loss, exposure, restoration, and inner sovereignty ā mirror the energetic landscape these transits evoke.But perhaps the most evocative way to feel these alignments isnāt through analysis, but through poetry. And no one captured the soul of this lunation more powerfully than Fida, in the piece titled:
THE LION WALKS ALONE
New Moon in Leo opposite Pluto,sextile Uranus, trine Saturn and Neptune - July 25
You stand at the stage.
It is still warm with memory.
Your body assumes the familiar posture,
your voice rises.Ā
You anticipate the usual echo,Ā
the clapping, the nodding, the praise that used to mean you exist.
Yet what once roared back as applause
now thins into nothing.
The crowd that once anchored your worth
vanishes.
The theatre hollows.
And you remain at the epicenter,
Exposed to the terrifying intimacy of your own unwitnessed radiance.
This is the Leo New Moon.
The Moon of exposure.
The Moon that asks:
What remains when your performance has no audience?
Who are you when no one is watching?
Who rules when there are no subjects to govern?
This Moon is the dismantling of the kingdom built on performance.
The unmaking of the story that said your light only mattered if someone watched it burn.
The stage stays.
But its meaning collapses.
What was once a site of recognition becomes a site of reckoning.
OPPOSITION TO PLUTO IN AQUARIUS
Pluto stands in the far corner of the theatre,
and with a gesture, the mask turns to ash.
Every persona, every polished version of you,
every clever identity,
every mask you learned to wear just to stay alive
disappears under his nuclear gaze.
This is the death of the persona that learned to survive by being understood.
The clever adaptation that mirrored what the world needed
so it could stay alive.
The theatre collapses,
But the sovereign remains.
And in that exposure
something ancient begins to breathe.
SEXTILE TO URANUS IN GEMINI
Where Pluto dismantles,
Uranus reactivates.
The looped thinking: what they think, how you sound, what it means,
burns off like fog.
And suddenly: clarity.
You hear transmission from your core
That never learned to care about interpretation.
A frequency of thought that doesnāt collapse into explanation.
Uranus sextiles this New Moon
to lift you out of reaction
and rewire you for original movement.
The Trickster God rewiring the Solar Heroās brain to bypass the translation mechanism entirely.Ā
No more converting experience into narrative. No more processing reality through the filter of āwhat does this mean about me?ā
The Lion begins to write again
from pure neural fire.
TRINE TO SATURN IN ARIES
Saturn brings back the bones, but this time, theyāre yours.
And theyāre built from fire.
This is Saturn the anchor, not the limits.Ā
He says: I will not hold you back. I will hold you steady.
So build it.
So move it into form.
Whatever vision flickers in your field
this Trine stabilizes it.
Saturn gives you the right to move without requiring proof of worthiness.
To act before achieving cognitive coherence.
To build the structure that can support the wild signal you carry.
Where Pluto cleared the stage,
Saturn quietly builds you a new one
to issue the real.
TRINE TO NEPTUNE IN ARIES
And then, Neptune.
Neptune says: You are not here to pursue the divine. You are the condition for it to land.
This is the end of the myth of becoming.
Your spiritual journey ends not through arrival but through the recognition that there was never anyone traveling.
Your awakening completes not through achievement but through the dissolution of the one who could achieve anything.
INTEGRATED: THE FIELD OF THE LION
You do not vanish when the performance ends.
You arrive.
Pluto burns the persona.
Uranus liberates the circuitry.
Saturn hands you the frame.
Neptune dissolves the boundary between dreamer and dream.
And Leo
Leo awakens in the quiet.
In the unmistakable pulse
of something that no longer asks to be known,
because it already is.
you are ready to walk without witness.
you are ready to build what doesnāt yet exist.
you are ready to move as the origin point.
The Lion walks alone.
And the world forms around its steps.
-Fida
š How the Dream and the Astrological Moment Intertwine
The dream unfolds as a mirror to the current celestial landscape ā especially under the influence of the Leo New Moon opposing Pluto, and harmoniously aligned with Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune. Each scene from the dream resonates with the deeper psychological and spiritual invitations these transits are bringing to the surface.
š The Beginning ā The Overpass and the Politician
āThe stage remains. But its meaning collapses.ā
āWhat remains when your performance has no audience?ā
The dream opens at sunset on an overpass ā a place suspended between directions ā as a charismatic but ineffective politician appears. She smiles sweetly, shrugs, and admits sheās done nothing with the power she was given.
This is Pluto in Aquarius opposing the Leo Moon in full force: the disintegration of hollow personas, of public images that promise transformation but deliver only presence ā not essence.
Sheās not just a politician; sheās a mask.
A symbol of the part of us (or the world) that once sought approval, applause, visibility ā but could not sustain meaning.
And the sun is setting. The illusions are losing color.
The Leo Moon asks: Whatās left when the applause stops?
ā°ļø The Funeral, the Hidden Identity, the Search for the Letter
āPluto burns the persona.
Every identity crafted to survive judgment dissolves into ash.ā
One of the most powerful moments of the dream: a funeral for a gay man, whose true identity has been erased from the narrative of his life. The burial becomes theatrical ā a coffin sliding down a toboggan ā but the truth is buried deeper still.
The dreamer searches for a letter the man may have left behind ā one that would reclaim his truth. But the letter cannot be found.
This reflects Plutoās destructive gaze ā exposing the emotional violence of denial, of stories untold.
And it mirrors Neptune in Aries, dissolving the idea that redemption comes through linear resolution. There is no neat ending. The ache is the awakening.
šļø Petrolina Begins to Bloom
āSaturn says: I will not hold you back. I will hold you steady.
So build it. Move it into form.ā
āUranus rewires the mind. Connects to original movement.ā
Then the dream turns ā a transformation begins. The once-arid city of Petrolina becomes magnetic. Tourists arrive. The desert breathes.
This is Saturn in Aries laying a new foundation after Plutoās demolition.
This is Uranus in Gemini liberating perception ā the mind no longer seeking external approval or symbolic meaning, but simply witnessing beauty as it unfolds.
No more asking: āWhat does this say about me?ā
Now, simply: āWhat wants to come alive here?ā
The city is not explained. It is felt.
Not justified ā but inhabited.
š¦ The Lion Walks Alone
āYou do not vanish when the performance ends.
You arrive.ā
āYou are ready to walk without witness.
You are ready to build what doesnāt yet exist.ā
The final image is quietly epic: an arid place begins to blossom ā not because it was seen, but because the dreamer chose to invest soul, presence, and care into it.
Thatās the essence of Leo awakened:
No longer performing. No longer proving. But creating from source.
This is not a dream about being recognized.
Itās a dream about becoming the one who recognizes.
About reclaiming inner sovereignty, even when no one claps.
āļø Conclusion: Dream and Sky in Perfect Alignment
This dream is not an accident of the psyche ā itās a living expression of the current cosmic field. Each transit plays a role:
Pluto: collapse of identities built to please.
Uranus: mental freedom, original thought, clarity without translation.
Saturn: stable structure for whatās real.
Neptune: spiritual truth through direct experience.
Leo: not the actor ā but the creator of the stage itself.
You are no longer the one who waits for change from others.
You are the one who tends the forgotten places.
The one who restores the submerged homes.
The keeper of a truth so embodied it no longer needs to be written.
And everything begins to bloom around you ā
Not because anyone is watching,
But because you have arrived.
šŖ On the Edge of Becoming
Tarot Notes, July 2025
I pulled three cards over the past few days ā not with a specific question, but with an open heart.
I wanted to know what this moment in my life was asking of me.
Hereās what showed up:
š The Chariot
š 9 of Wands
š 2 of Wands
And it hit me.
Iām standing on the edge of becoming.
The Chariot reminded me that Iām not lost. Iāve just been circling the same thoughts, waiting for the green light that only I can give myself.
Itās movement. Momentum. Desire aligned with direction.
But itās also about taking control of the reins ā of owning the ride, even if I donāt know where every turn leads.
Then came the 9 of Wands ā
The quiet warrior in me. Tired, yes. A little bruised.
But still here.
Still watching.
Still standing.
This card whispered, āYouāve been through enough to know better now. Protect what matters. Donāt burn out for what doesnāt.ā
And then⦠today,
as I placed the deck down near the Buddhaās hands, the 2 of Wands leapt out.
Like a gentle nudge from the cosmos:
āYouāve seen the old world. Youāve dreamed the new one. Now⦠choose.ā
Iām not rushing.
Iām listening.
Iām learning that moving forward doesnāt always mean sprinting.
Sometimes it means standing still long enough to feel the real yes in your bones.
Sometimes it means asking:
āAm I choosing this out of fear, or out of freedom?ā
Right now, Iām just here ā between what was and whatās coming.
And Iām learning that the in between is sacred too.

New Moon In Leo 2025 Tarot Spread ⢠A Portal of Creative Rebirth šš¦
By Leo @Ā Apollo TarotĀ šŖ· ā inspired by the insights of Molly McCord.Ā Watch the full video here
On July 24th, 2025, the skies offer us a potent Leo New Moon at 2° Leo (exact at 3:11 p.m. Eastern Time). This lunation is a fiery invitation to step boldly into a new version of yourself.
But this isnāt just about āmanifesting goalsā or setting intentions as usual. This is aĀ transformational resetĀ that asks for your authentic embodiment of personal power and passion. Itās the beginning of aĀ new creative timeline, one that emerges not only from desire but from deep inner rewiring.
⨠A New Flame from Old Tension
This Leo New Moon is conjunct the Sun, as all new moons are, but hereās the twist: the pair directly opposesĀ Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. This aspect creates intense pressure. Itās not comfortable. But itās evolutionary.
You may have felt like the first half of 2025 cracked you open. From January through April, Mars and Pluto danced in opposition, revealing deep power dynamics and personal challenges. Now, this New Moon checks in:Ā Who have you become?
Are you resisting change, or are you stepping into your newly transformed self?
Leo, the sign of fixed fire, speaks to heart-led courage, leadership, and self-expression. Pluto in Aquarius challenges the ego to expand beyond old constructs. Together, they birth the question:Ā What version of you is ready to be born from the ashes?
š Sparks of the Future Self
Thereās more: this New Moon beautifully trines bothĀ Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, forming a supportive minor grand trine withĀ Uranus in Gemini.
This rare configuration lights up our energy bodies, particularly theĀ heart (Moon)Ā andĀ solar plexus (Sun). We are being rewired to live from our cosmic truth, not conditioned expectation. Think of this as anĀ electrical ignition: your next-level self is booting up.
Uranus in Gemini brings flashes of insight and exciting new paths.
Saturn + Neptune in Aries invite embodiment and spiritual courage.
This is where imagination becomes action. But only if rooted inĀ authenticity.
āļø Decision Time: The T-Square
Meanwhile, a powerful T-square involvingĀ Mars in Virgo (conjunct South Node), Venus in Gemini,Ā and theĀ North Node in PiscesĀ invites deep evaluation.
Are you choosing based on guilt and obligation? Or are you trusting your intuition to guide you toward your highest future?
Mars wants to fix. Venus wants to talk it out. But Pisces whispers:Ā release, surrender, trust.
This is the tension before clarity. Mercury retrograde in Leo (until August 11) further urges reflection. Allow space for your inner voice to re-emerge.
⨠Leo New Moon Tarot Spread āØ
Use this spread to align with the fierce creative spark of this lunation:
What part of myself is being reborn?
What old story must I release to move forward?
Where is my courage being tested?

This Leo New Moon is not quiet. Itās volcanic, passionate, and alive. It is your cue to stand at the edge of your personal evolution and say:
āYes. I am ready. I will follow what lights me up.ā
Look to where 2° Leo falls in your birth chart to understand what house this fire is igniting. Let that be your stage.
Wishing you bold beginnings, radiant truth, and creative ignition.
New Moon in Leo 2025 Tarot Spread ā My Personal Reading š¦š
The Leo New Moon energy is all about bold beginnings, creative fire, and unapologetic authenticity. I pulled a 5-card spread (with one bonus card) to tune into what this lunation is asking of me.
And let me tell you⦠it did NOT come to play. š„š“
Hereās what came through:
šĀ 1. What part of myself is being reborn?
The Magician
Iām rebirthing as the creator of my own narrative. No more waiting for validation. No more living for other peopleās expectations. Iām stepping into my own power, my own voice, my own damn magic.
šĀ 2. Where is my courage being tested?
8 of Swords
My fear lives in my head. Iām being challenged to break free from self-limiting beliefs and old internal scripts that tell me Iām ātoo muchā or ānot enough.ā The bars of this cage are made of thoughts ā and I hold the key.
šĀ 3. What old story must I release to move forward?
6 of Cups
The past. The sugar-coated version of it. The āwhat ifsā and ācouldāve beens.ā
Itās time to stop romanticizing old versions of myself ā or old connections that no longer fit.
What served me then may not be serving me now.
šĀ 4. What supports my new timeline?
King of Wands
My fire. My boldness. My vision.
I am supported by my own ability to lead with heart and passion, and by people who see my light without trying to dim it. Iām not backstage anymore ā Iām center stage, owning my story.
šĀ 5. What sparks joy and authenticity now?
The Empress
Joy lives in beauty, softness, creation, and pleasure.
Authenticity now means feeling fully, creating freely, and loving without shrinking.
Itās time to receive, bloom, and radiate like never before.
šĀ Bonus Card: What gift will this Leo New Moon bring me if I step into this path with courage?
10 of Pentacles
The long game. Stability. Legacy. A life built in full alignment.
If I choose my truth over my fear, Iām not just choosing happiness for now ā Iām laying the foundation for deep, lasting fulfillment. And maybe even creating a new kind of family ā soul family, purpose family, chosen family.
Final Vibe:
This spread told me everything I needed to hear and nothing I was expecting.
Iām not here to repeat. Iām here to rebirth.
And this time, I choose the version of me that isnāt scared of her own brilliance. š
āStop justifying, defending, and explaining yourself. If something is correct for you, move forward with confidence.ā
