Do you remember what was happening five years ago? Or have you tucked that chapter neatly away, refusing to re-read it?

I don’t forget. I don’t forget how the world surrendered to an imposed narrative, how property rights—starting with the fundamental right to one’s own body—were obliterated by mandates and collective hysteria.

Five years have passed, yet I’m struck by how many continue living under the spell of other people’s narratives. Even now, many remain incapable of questioning the very authorities that misled them, that coerced them, that used fear as a weapon against critical thinking.

Some of us saw through it then, and we see through it now. We maintained our North Star—the inviolable principle that our bodies are not collateral for someone else’s sense of safety. We recognized that surrendering the sovereignty of our physical being was not just a temporary concession but the first domino in a cascade of lost liberties.

Those five years revealed who would stand firm when pressure came, who would protect the sacred boundary of their own existence. As Neptune moved through Pisces, its fog descended upon the collective consciousness, blurring the lines between truth and propaganda. Reality itself seemed to bend and distort, with many unable to distinguish between protection and control, between safety and submission.

And now, as Neptune prepares to enter Aries, we face a new test: can those who surrendered their autonomy reclaim it? Or have they become so comfortable in their chains that they mistake them for jewelry?
