I just did a quick study of what is happening astrologically around Bitcoin. Some of this may sound unusual, but this is how these charts are read: through archetypes, cycles, and the relationships between them. Here is my take. Bitcoin is entering a period in which its original purpose is being tested. Its chart carries a strong impulse toward sovereignty, direct experience, and the search for truth beyond inherited authority. Over the past few years, Neptune has been moving across this part of the chart, dissolving the mythology surrounding Bitcoin and gradually exposing the distance between what Bitcoin is and what people project onto it. We are beginning to see the real picture, and I suspect there are more bones in the closet waiting to emerge. At the same time, Pluto is placing enormous pressure on the part of Bitcoin’s chart associated with power, control, institutions, and structural transformation. This suggests intensifying struggles over who defines Bitcoin, who benefits from it, and who attempts to redirect its purpose. The technology may remain intact while the meaning attached to it changes profoundly. Uranus is also moving through the area of the chart connected with networks, collective intelligence, and social movements. It is shaking up the patterns through which the collective understands Bitcoin. New interpretations are emerging rapidly, and the conversation surrounding Bitcoin may become increasingly fragmented. The central question is whether people still understand why Bitcoin exists, what makes it money, and what separates it from the financial structures it was created to challenge. The current nodal cycle is activating Bitcoin’s Venus, which represents value, exchange, attraction, and relationships. This places the nature of value itself at the center of the evolutionary process. The collective is being asked to distinguish between Bitcoin’s essential monetary properties and the narratives, financial products, personalities, institutions, and political interests that have accumulated around it. The Full Moon on July 29 makes this particularly visible. The Sun and Jupiter align with Bitcoin’s South Node and Ascendant, while the Moon and Pluto fall across the relationship axis. This can amplify the existing identity of Bitcoin while simultaneously confronting it with powerful external interests, alliances, contracts, and competing agendas. Venus will also be sitting on Bitcoin’s Saturn in the second house, the part of the chart directly connected with money, value, resources, and material security. This calls for discernment regarding Bitcoin’s structure as money. What gives it value? What makes it different? Which principles are foundational? Are those principles still being communicated clearly? Venus and Saturn also form a tense relationship with Mars and Ceres in the area of the chart connected with the collective and the distribution of information. I read this as an opportunity for the Bitcoin community to examine how Bitcoin is being explained, packaged, promoted, and understood. The collective has to ask whether it is communicating Bitcoin as money or slowly turning it into something else. The eclipse on August 12 intensifies the same theme. The Sun and Jupiter will again activate Bitcoin’s South Node and Ascendant shortly after Jupiter’s opposition to Pluto. This can magnify Bitcoin’s established identity and bring power struggles into sharper focus. Something from its history, original purpose, or unresolved past may return and demand attention. The second eclipse on August 28 appears less consequential to me. The first eclipse carries the stronger message. All of this feels preparatory for the larger cycle approaching at the end of 2027 and into 2028, when Pluto reaches Bitcoin’s nodal axis. In evolutionary astrology, this can indicate an irreversible transformation of direction and purpose. I do not read it as Bitcoin simply continuing along the path it has followed until now. I see the possibility of the entire concept of the technology being transformed through its encounter with governments, corporations, institutional capital, political power, and the desires of the collective. If Bitcoin survives this period with its purpose and principles intact, it will emerge stronger. Otherwise, this is only the beginning of a much larger struggle over power, control, and the meaning of Bitcoin itself. This is why we have to be very clear about what we want Bitcoin to become, what makes it money, and why we Bitcoin. 🍿

Ideas abundant, so they don’t carry real value on their own. Let me explain, What matters is choosing what to do, sticking with it, and giving it real attention, because attention, time, and energy are scarce resources. Nowadays, AI throws a lot of options at you, so the real value stems in deciding what’s worth your time, this is opportunity cost, and actually following through, otherwise it all just becomes noise. In this convo, Terence Tao (mathematician) is saying AI can come up with a lot of possible answers really fast, but someone still has to check if they make sense and work through them carefully. That’s where people come in. Using clear thinking and simple methods to test ideas and turn them into something else turn them into productivity. Human action becomes the gravity point. Because using logical deduction is going to create a structured way of thinking and a guide for experimentation. Results can be seen in whether what you chose to do actually worked and gave you what you were aiming for. When he mentions Copernicus, it’s about having many ways to explain things, but choosing one that actually holds together and works over time. That’s the key point, how humans act, how humans make choices. And they’re always attached to an economical result. Because if you spend a lot of time playing with AI tools, which are great, but you don’t create a selection, you’re going to end up not having a product. And yeah, so progress and innovation really come from valuing your time and focusing with a clear idea, testing it, and at the same time, this is why it’s so important to educate yourself on AI, where education can be found for free or you can choose to pay to understand its possibilities, and especially to understand what money is, because once you understand what sound money is, you understand what is being valued, and all kinds of tools and skills that are going to give you value, the value of your time. Tools serve innovation, but humans must enact them purposefully.

The Split: Regulatory Clarity, Who Controls the Sovereignty of Your Body? Over the last few months, I’ve been paying closer attention to the direction of digital regulation and financial infrastructure. The conversation around regulatory clarity is becoming louder, especially in the Bitcoin and digital assets space. I’m writing an article called The Split where I speak about generations, attention virality, and how such important things as keeping the private property of our bodies sound is not just making enough sound. It started to feel more like 2020 and 2021 when unlawful mandates were implemented along with lockdowns. Stay tuned as I’ll bring a very quick list of practical takeaways.

Don’t be like Terence Howard and talk about Bitcoin without understanding how its protocol works. Be like Socrates: inquire before speaking about a protocol you don’t understand.

New drop I was very excited when I got the invitation to be in a live stream at roxom tv with Hank Stahlecker. This was my first one, possibly the first of many, and it felt like a perfect moment to bring a different kind of lens to the conversation we are all having about Bitcoin and the markets. Using multiple analogies for the lay people, I was able to weave the astrology and the markets into an idea that can be felt. I integrated everything from sovereign reserves to the intricate world of derivatives and ETFs, using astrology as a universal language as well as mythology to show how these structures actually move. There are layers to these metaphors and the mechanics behind them that go much deeper than a single stream, and I look forward to exploring them further in an upcoming article. A wink - wink to Ana… Note: The title alludes to Hexagram 54 of the I Ching, known as The Marrying Maiden, and to Gate 54 in Human Design, which stems from the Root Center and is associated with ambition, drive, and entering established structures through strategic alignment and its consequences. @roxomtv Full video at Monikabravo.blog

We have entered unknown territory, and every step and individual decision we make, with or without discernment, will shape the unknown future. One caveat, Capricorn gave us strategy, direction, and time to mature. Aquarius allows us to jump timelines and encounter futuristic probabilities, with the danger of living disembodied or re-enacting traumatic events. Pisces energy yields victimization, if you hear yourself say things like “they are doing this to me” or “it happens to me,” pause and ask yourself where your agency is. Things do not just occur, they are the result of individual decisions, and non-action IS action. View article →

Most artists in this lifetime will never be free. Why. Because they have allowed themselves to be institutionalized. What do I mean by that. Normally, an artist wants to be free to create whatever comes through them as a unique expression. But since art and all forms of art have gone through academics and institutions, the artist is made to believe that they need an intermediary, a middleman or a middlewoman, or institutions that are going to validate them. And so they give their power away from the very beginning. They do not understand what money is. They do not know how to negotiate their own terms. And by the time they probably make it, in quotations, meaning they get the recognition and the funds in the bank account, they are no longer free to act, because they have already signed their soul to the devil. That is why I very seldom find any artist who is a Bitcoiner. Because in order to follow the truth about money, you have to be free from the system. You cannot be in the system and claim that you are free in the monetary sense, because the fiat standard makes you a debt slave, including in art, since art is also used by political and social agendas. That is why I find it rare that artists will find a way through the Bitcoin standard.

“Sometimes you have to step out and heal to understand. If we take suffering as a teacher, it stretches our souls, and we become stronger and stronger.” I met Aaron briefly at Adopting Bitcoin and he made a mark. We playfully snapped at each other in a quirky dialogue, and at the end I knew he had integrated his suffering and now he is of service. Plus points for speaking Spanish and having lived in my hometown Bogotá. Buena por esa. I love his community work, it comes from the divine. What a soul. A beautiful way to use capital to create local infrastructure, increasing a community’s productive capacity. Enabling people to produce, feed themselves, and organize locally. Reducing future dependency. This is low time preference in action. Hard money funding hard assets that enable future human action Thanks, Efrat, for sharing Aaron’s beautiful and powerful story and how allows the divine in him be of service 🙏
