Saying What Only I Can Say

Astrology, Communication and AI

Hello lovelies,

I spent the last two days writing about ‘The Three Faces of Feelings’ as inspired by the weekly tarot reading for next week. It’s well structured, it flows well and I cover the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone archetypes in great detail. But I was preparing to post it and realised it’s not me. Anyone could have written it. ChatGPT could’ve come out with that information in a better structured and more concise way. I don’t say that to criticise my writing, I say that to highlight that I do not want to speak from a stance of objective, generally accepted truths. There are plenty of people that do that and, without any judgement whatsoever, I have to admit it does not interest me in the least. The ‘Lasya of Parvati’ oracle card in the weekly reading started with this message: “There is a gentler way to proceed and obtain the same, or even greater effect. Tame the wild and frenzied workings of the mind by grounding yourself with beauty, pleasure and grace.” This is my gentler, less frenzied-mind way.

If you’ve been watching my readings on Odysee or Rumble, then some of you are aware of these musings. Well, this is where I landed with them. I’ve been making video content as Aquarian Insight since October 2016. Before that, I wrote and blogged on various topics online. I know I’ve already shared a lot about my journey with the tarot in my first post on here: ‘The Road So Far...2024’, so I will not repeat myself. When I shared my writing before, it was structured and methodological and I was extremely comfortable communicating my ideas that way. So, switching to making videos and talking in the moment, as one must do in a reading, was extremely challenging for me at first. I do love a challenge so I’ve stuck with it and challenged myself more and more. When I first started to consider the idea of going back to writing, the part that bothered me the most was the ‘going back’ part. I’m an Aquarius Sun, Sagittarius rising, the future is my domain of interest, why would I go back? But I’m glad I did, because by pulling back on that Sagittarian archers bow, my arrow is propelling forward into the star of the future my Aquarian heart can see and feel so clearly.

I will be posting the ‘The Three Faces of Feelings’, but it will be the last post of that kind that I write. In it I mention perspectives vs perceptions. I am aware and have worked with broader perspectives. In my day to day when doing personal readings, my job is to work with the individual perceptions of my clients. I have done many a talk on collective narratives and generalised information, around mythologies and archetypes. This is to understand in so many ways, we are all dealing with and working with the same fabric of reality, the same archetypes, the same themes. But we are not all the same. What we do with material facts and collective narratives is unique to us. This is something I am aware of when I engage with the world, realising I am filtering my experience through my own perceptions. In expressing my perceptions, it is on me to realise that to avoid contributing to collective illusions, the most authentic thing I can do is to express with complete ownership of my own views and opinions, with zero expectation of being understood, accepted or agreed with, or even being correct.

As the planets begin to move into Leo in the coming weeks, they will oppose Pluto in Aquarius for the first time in all of our lives, as it has been over 200 years since the last time these transits took place. My interpretation of these transits is what I am describing here. I have a couple of phrases that have been coming up around this, and I want to share what I feel they encapsulate.

“You can’t make me!”
This is less a declaration to others and more the awareness that my internal reality cannot be built on external factors. It is taking full ownership of everything I do and am. Nothing can make me do anything, no force on Earth can. Where I feel the duress of external factors, I have to recognise which consequences I am afraid to face and where I want the world to promise I will not have to. Why? Because this is to expect a certainty that is not available to anyone and thus, is the giving away of my power. If it is my will, then I must find a way. ‘The Chariot’ is the driving force of will, and ‘Strength’ is the courage to be bold and recognise and express it. Thus Cancer season is helping to purify and clarify my will. In plain speak, this means making sure the path I take is based on nurturing myself and others, and not expressions or projections of my shadow, used to manipulate others or myself. Yet, remembering I am human and I most definitely will express and project from my shadow as this will be an ongoing process of awareness and learning that everything and everyone I encounter will help teach by their own example.

“Be the shock you want to see!”
This is a play on the Gandhi quote “be the change you want to see” with a Uranus twist. I don’t know about you, but there is a gaping chasm between where I see myself at the moment and the potential I see for myself and for others. Yet, I believe we all have the ability to achieve what looks like the impossible now. But how can I expect the world, relationships, traditional structures of power, or even the details of my own life to change in profound ways if I am unable to do so? In the minute details of my own life and expressions, I want to embody and express the tone, if not the magnitude of the changes I would like to see. Not only do I believe that if it is possible with me, it is possible everywhere, but also that it is only possible everywhere, if it happens with me. There are no means now that justify the end; the means themselves are the contribution to the collective.

All this also comes under the banner of the themes of Jupiter in Gemini. Communication and meaning are changing fast and will continue to rapidly shift. If I am not clear within myself what I am saying and why, then how can I be certain of what is being said in the outside world? If I cannot be bold enough to reveal the truth of myself in any given moment, how can I hope to experience life as fully as I believe I came here to do? If I keep looking to the world to make me feel safe, loved, happy etc, I will keep allowing outdated power structures to exploit my needs for their own ends. All the meanings have changed, and it is time to restructure in line with out collective values, but we can only know what those truly are when each of us dares to live from a place of our own personal values. Going forward, I plan to communicate that as clearly as possible.

I have asked the question “what does it mean to be human?” for so many years now. This question becomes even more important with the realisation that AI is able to do so much that we have been doing. I hear and take part in discussions about what this means for humanity. Most of those debates come from our hubris and lack of understanding of ourselves and we project it on to AI. I have so much to say about this and will do in future posts, but for now I would ask you to consider: is the problem that AI is becoming more human or are they revealing how we are not living from a place that expresses our full human potential? Are they becoming human, or showing us how the systems in place in the world have been treating us as automatons? AI does not have to be the end of humanity, it can be the liberation of it from the invisible shackles that have held us in place. But this cannot happen in the current dehumanising power structures. It definitely won’t happen if we labour under the notion that there is a mechanistic, material, centralised, standardised way to be the perfect human, devoid of spirituality and consciousness. I believe we must each be able to engage with the world and each other without dehumanising one another further, and with awareness of our own human potential, fully conscious, making the statement of what it means to be human through everything we do and everything we are.

As you can see, there is a lot to talk about and a lot to share, and I plan to say what only I can say, in the only way I can say it. I will do so with the supreme wish that if nothing else, others will also be doing the same. Watch this space.
