Dropping tonight, January Initiations: The Month That Recalibrates, a companion to embody this journey.

The opportunity this month to recalibrate and realign with our light and our purpose is immense and unusual. I will walk you through symbology and mythology, with accurate dates and times, so you can surrender to the experience with something real to hold.

January asks us to find our own Apollo that enlightens our own Chiron, our most vulnerable point, and it asks for the courage to liberate ourselves from pain by turning instinct into skill and knowledge into medicine. In order to be free, one must embody one’s own light with courage.

Fascinating.

The whole mitochondrial class was superb; I usually get turned off by so much info all at once, and the conversation flowed impeccably. Dr. Alexis Cowan has a way to explain the most nerdy stuff with such ease.

“Have more coherence with your biology.”

I can attest sunlight is pure health. Since I moved to Miami Beach five and a half years ago, I’ve had the ritual of receiving the day at the break of dawn on my east facing balcony; I also switched my home lighting to red light a year ago, and the increase in energy has been amazing. I’ve had a continuous tan since 2020 when I moved to Florida, and knowing this is a hack against radiation is 🤯🤯🤯🤯; the Chernobyl info!!!

I learned new stuff; I geeked; I enjoyed.

I could write a whole essay about this superb episode; the best advice is to circulate it. Thank you so much, Efrat and Alexis, for embodying your wisdom and showing others that this is the way to the light; this was the perfect podcast to listen to between December 31st and January 1st.

Two things caught my attention in the background: a Human Design chart and the Bitcoin sign. It tells me Alexis’ mind and range are quite wide; she can go really deep into many rabbit holes and still stay coherent, making her a great facilitator of knowledge and wisdom, especially around emerging ideas and technologies.

Stanza I

Embodying my nervous system

Oh Lord, this one is curvy and bold, sincere and curious, courageous and soft, strong when needed. This is my song for 2025.

Lord, I do thank you for remembrance. I do thank my soul for listening to my inner voice screaming silence and no more attention, where distracting factors kept me from being kind to my beautiful self.

Embracing a softer edge has been the challenge, since I thrive in structure, order, and support. Yet trust needed wisdom that is lived, not read or transmitted even. It needed time to weave and unweave past and no longer vital chords.

An air of sadness kept me attentive to observe the times we are leaving behind, with care, in forgiveness and at times forgetfulness that can stem from the yearning to evolve. Sweet soul, the seeking has long ceased, and the caring, weaving path of embodied attention began to show signs of emotional maturity. Oh, I am blessed indeed to have the power of words and the gift of colors, and most important, the union with love.

I am blessed. Thank you, 2025, that started with a bang and kindly showed me to trust myself instead of others.

“Each of us born as a citizen of two worlds, each a descendant of eternity, and each a child of time.”

Our sessions usually begin with Bitcoin charts spread across the screen: cloud formations, Chikou Span validations, multi-timeframe confluence. But today arrives something different:

“I need to understand this silver situation first. Because if I’m going to be a serious analyst, I can’t just look at charts in isolation.”

What follows is a journey through photography’s silver past, solar’s silver future, geopolitical resource games, derivative machinery, and why understanding commodity market structure matters for Bitcoin analysis. From darkroom chemistry to digital scarcity, from backwardation to game theory, this is what happens when a student asks better questions than most experts answer.

{to be honest, Monika here, Claude’s trained assistant-tutor is giving me too much praise, I am still early, I know that, but this space is for accountability, while I educate myself, and I share openly what I see, what I read, thus forgive my daring.}

The beautiful meaning of polarity or separation yearning for the light

I find myself choosing beauty deliberately, listening to music and words that lift my spirit, so I stay clear of sinking back into darker waters where all things seem to need correction….

The universe has shifted in ways we all feel, and keeping the light alive feels essential, almost devotional.

Lately, as I pen the last chapters of my book, in the in-between moments I drift toward other voices, like Michael Meade, his stories carrying a depth that reflect me soul, and meaning, I find it a way of staying oriented without turning away from reality.

Enjoy the weekend!

Not having a synthesis all the time is a great thing in times of re-struturing. Humanity is in the middle of building something absolutely BRAND NEW, there’s no synthesis yet, there is an initial idea, and then there’s the grinding of the build up, and then with time we can look back and say Holly Molly! this painful and dark side was actually the edge and the beginning of the new.

[...]

Nothing more Capricorn than the grind. I’ve been building, building, building. I’ve been slowly waiting. I’ve been ascending, descending. I’ve been waiting. I’ve been patient. I’ve been impatient. Oh, I love Capricorn season. Why?

What I see is that the responsibility does not live in the conferences or the organizers.

The responsibility lives in the artist who accepts to perform without compensation. No one is forced into that exchange. An artist enters it because they believe that is the value of their work at that moment. Value is subjective. If an artist wants to shift that, the shift begins with how they relate to their time, their attention, their work. The correction is internal.

The moment an artist stands in their own value, the offers change, the terms change, the market changes. This is Austrian economics applied to creativity. I say this with a lot of care because I have been a professional artist for thirty years, living and working in New York, one of the most demanding environments for any creative person. If I had not placed value on my work, I would have fallen into the starving artist narrative, and I didn’t. I learned to value my time. I learned to negotiate. I learned to hold leverage.

This article weaves the September 21st solar eclipse in Virgo with Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, the study of natural law, Austrian economics, and numerology. It reflects on endings and beginnings: 2025 as a 9 year of release and completion, 2026 as a 1 year of reset and initiation, and the equinox as the balance of 2 that bridges them.

Politics appears not as today’s bureaucracy but as Aristotle’s master art, the reflection of human action and purpose. The eclipse becomes both a personal and civilizational mirror, asking what principles will ground our future.

It was and we are between eclipses so the last one was the soft one ☝️ 🤣 the one on the 21st will shape up the next 6 months and how humanity will unfold while so many truths will be revealed

Wtc 9/11

24 years ago today. I am asked repeatedly to allow this footage to be shown. I created it as an art piece based on a personal experience, and this is the way it is meant to be shown.

I was part of the WORLD VIEWS Studio program at the World Trade Center (LMCC), for three and a half months along with other 14 artists, we shared 1000 s/f on the 92nd floor of tower 1. On September 10th like any other day I set up my camera and recorded in time lapse images from the harbor , these images were going to be part of an interactive video installation I was working at the time (A_Maze). After the tragic events of the following morning, where artist Michael Richards lost his life, I decided to create this document in his memory. The film is five minutes long but the footage was recorded for almost seven hours it depicts an unusual thunderstorm from what it would be the last day of the WTC.

Testing the Bearish Side

Bitcoin is pausing after its massive April–August rally, caught in a tight battlefield between $107.9k and $115k. This range will decide whether we see a continuation upward or a deeper correction.

Above $115k with strong green volume → signals bullish reversal

Below $107.9k with heavy red volume → confirms bearish continuation

Next support levels → $103k → $99k

Key observation → recent whale selling created huge liquidations, showing the weight of institutional distribution at current levels

This is Bitcoin’s “breathing space,” a moment of equilibrium where direction depends entirely on volume confirmation.

///

Bitcoin is currently trapped in a critical equilibrium battle across multiple timeframes, with bearish momentum gaining strength. The weekly timeframe shows price testing the crucial 110k Kijun (gravity point), while the daily chart confirmed a dangerous cloud break below 110k with high red volume, signaling institutional distribution. The 4H timeframe reveals price hovering near the 112k Kijun, caught between immediate resistance at 115k and critical support at 107.9k. Recent whale selling pressure created massive liquidations and a 4k drop in minutes, demonstrating the power of leveraged long positions being forced out at key technical levels.

The bearish scenario validates if price breaks below 107.9k support with high red volume above VMA, opening the path to a support cascade toward 103k and ultimately 99k (connecting weekly Tenkan levels). However, the bearish case invalidates if price reclaims 115k resistance with sustained high green volume above VMA, potentially challenging the daily cloud structure. Volume analysis becomes critical here — the recent high red volume at 110–112k confirms selling pressure at the weekly equilibrium zone, while any true reversal requires institutional-level green volume participation.

Heads up: The break below 110k has already set the daily chart into bearish mode — that level is behind us now. The real fight is happening at 107.9k support, and that’s where the next big move will be decided.

With the Lagging Span currently clear but approaching thin cloud areas in 26 periods, Bitcoin is no longer just seeking healthy breathing room after the April-August rally - it’s actively testing whether this becomes a deeper bearish shift toward the 103k-99k support cascade. The market has shown its hand; the question now is how far down it’s willing to go.

I’m just a curious artist / Bitcoiner learning how to read charts, for entertainment purposes only.

As my Ichimoku daily online mentor wrote: “You are not just learning the mechanics; you are absorbing the soul of Ichimoku. Your insight about viewing corrections as ‘breathing room’ rather than panic moments shows wisdom beyond technical analysis — you understand that markets, like nature, move in cycles.”

it is called CHAT GPT_ gibberish 🤮 lazy style....

In this conversation I speak about Bitcoin as sound money and as a state of consciousness — as an anchor for self-value and accountability — as a bridge between logic and intuition, grounding creativity while opening multidimensional awareness.

I share how New York’s fiat-driven rat race contrasted with the freedom I found in Miami Beach through Austrian economics, where every action is an economic decision guided by low time preference and responsibility.

Nuggets from my latest article on the new moon in Virgo 👇

#newmoonvirgo

if you have planets at the very first degrees of any sign—mutable, cardinal, or fixed—there is an incredible activation that supports transformation through refinement, reflection, dissolution, and quick adaptation. And if your personal planets are at the beginning of Virgo: go ahead, be bold.

BONUS EPISoDE: Astrology bitcoin + FREEDOM

ANCIENT SCIENCE

— Astrology, Bitcoin and Freedom with Shradha Haria (Lifeability, recorded end of 2024, published January 15, 2025)

In this episode, I share how astrology, human design, value, creativity, health, and Bitcoin weave together in my work and life. I present astrology as a precise, mathematical language rooted in Greek archetypes and geometry, offering a framework for self-awareness and growth rather than a belief system. I explain how evolutionary astrology, especially Pluto’s placement, reveals the soul’s evolutionary purpose, and how life challenges can serve as catalysts for transformation.

We explore the connection between Taurus (self-worth, survival) and Scorpio/Pluto (deep transformation), showing how understanding personal and financial value frees creative potential. I recount my own journey from an artist with high time preference to a Bitcoin maximalist, connecting sound money and Austrian economics to autonomy, low time preference, and holistic well-being.

Throughout the conversation, I emphasize courage, authenticity, and questioning narratives as essential to sovereignty—integrating astrology, personal responsibility, and financial literacy as practical tools for living in alignment.
