Much love to you, andi 🗝️(Re)Union of analysis & intuition In my membership, The Secret Art, we’ve been exploring Alchemical Codes as a lens for understanding intuitive and spiritual development. Last month we discussed discernment through the lens of alchemical Separatio. This month, we learn about the alchemical phase of Conjunctio, a process of reunion. Alchemically, conjunction occurs after separation (discernment) as the coming together again of the analytical process with the intuition so that our analyses inform our movement through life without impeding the flow. This is a key to creative practice and spiritual practice alike. In our monthly practice call, we’ll be learning what this has to do with healing… Secrets shall be revealed….

Wow, this one goes deep. It began in such an innocent, quiet kind of way… and then by the end honestly kind of blew my mind. I recorded this last week and since then, Mars has also entered Pisces, while Venus slipped into Aries this morning. The Sun, of course, Mercury, and the North Node are also chillin’ in Pisces. So there’s still lots of Pisces vibes in the air at the moment. This episode is a journey through Piscean waters. It begins on the surface, and guides us slowly into the depths of the ocean, where we have the power access the base layer of reality and alter the very fabric of existence to bring our world into greater harmony. 🤯 As always, we go even deeper in the full episode for members of The Secret Art, who also receive access to astrology circles, guided practices, secret teachings and more.

If we were to attend solely to what is most obvious, to what is unfolding in the world outside of us, to the news, to the very real, tangible evidence, we might think things are headed in a very disturbing direction. And yet the message that came through this month is that what we see playing out on the world stage is the last gasp desperate attempts by the powers that were—that have already fallen—to grasp for a power they longer have. They are so desperate that they have laid their cards on the table. They’re no longer attempting to keep up the facade of diplomacy. Their extreme violence and corruption are actually evidence of their failure. So, while not to negate the very disturbing abuses of power playing out, for instance in Minnesota, nevertheless, the message is loud and clear: that the more beautiful world—the more just world order—that so many of us longed for—is already here. Not materially perhaps, but the energetic structures are already in place. It is done. The new world is here, in seed form, in energetic form. And the guidance that came through is that this is cause for celebration. It’s actually important for us to pause and consider what we have collectively achieved. For if we remain fixated only on what is playing out materially, we may actually disrupt the process of collective manifestation for justice and beauty that is already in place. Such an interesting message this month, and not at all what I expected—which I suppose is itself to be expected. Here’s a sort of summary: friendship > kismet social connections > platonic soulmates > social life sees us through the transition as the towers fall > the towers are falling and that’s cause for celebration > we had a hand in this > the new world—the new earth—is here, at least energetically > the revolution is now > untangling the complex energies around revolution > let’s not dismiss the massive change in collective consciousness on the heels of decades of work on trauma healing > this makes possible a different form of revolution > the facade is up > the powers that were reveal themselves for who they are > power is slipping through their fingers > higher mind or Nous as all that is as love > re-relating to objectivity from a place of love > some connections to and question re. last month’s message The Secret Art Membership The Secret Art is a practice-based membership, where we gather together several times a month for guided meditations and energy work, and accessible, yet in depth astrology circles.

An ode to practice. I recorded this episode in December, and I love that my guides referenced it and expanded upon it in the last episode. They spoke about how practice is what makes everything that humans create. In this episode, we explore spiritual practice in a more literal way, but with the usual philosophical meanderings. Here’s a sort of summary: vast realms open up via practice > boredom as gateway > meditation as necessary but not sufficient > practice saved me > the mind can be unruly > philosophy as therapeutic > Foucault on philosophy as care of the self as spiritual practice as politically necessary > let me read some philosophy to you > Selfhood vs posthumanism > meditation as discerning true self > when practice becomes trauma response > how to relate to pain > consciousness is transformative > how to trick yourself into practicing > the vast array of practices… I recorded this episode as a sort of introduction and invitation to my practice-based membership The Secret Art.

Capricorn is the mythical, mystical Seagoat, that strange creature who originates in the sea of spirit and collective consciousness, and then gains mastery within the material realm, climbing all the way to the peak of a mountain…. But, which mountain? And does it maintain its remembrance of its mystical roots, or shall it forget, living out its existence purely within materiality?! Two key themes we touch on in this episode: - The importance of attention in this age when it has become one of the most valuable commodities. - Governance structures (Capitalism, Communism), what we can learn from our history, what we need to know going forward. I was truly surprised by the depth and complexity of the energetics discussed in this message. I hope you receive as much from this transmission as I did. *** This is an edited version of the full channel which I shared last week with paying subscribers of the show.

But if you want to receive these transmissions in full and right away going forward, be sure to subscribe). In the full version, we go deeper into some of the themes discussed, including the role attention plays in manifestation, how astrology is a beautiful example of “the means are the ends”—the central theme of this transmission, and an exploration of the theme of private property in the context of politics and potential political futures.

After the transformation and shedding asked of us in Scorpio Season, Sagittarius brings upliftment, enthusiasm, and boldness. And you know what? I did something bold. I’ve been practicing channelling for more than five years, but never felt called to share it publicly. Until now…. It’s always scary to share more of one’s self, especially something that has until now felt so private and personal, and even to some extent secret! But when you get the call, you get the call. So… in this episode I bring through a channelled message from spirit. I had no idea what was going to come, but it ended up being a bit of a rallying cry for us to step up and show up and share ourselves and our energies in more tangible and bold ways. This transmission invites us into greater confidence and success in service to the collective and all that is. As scary as it is, I’m so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and sharing more of myself. And it’s no coincidence that this perfectly mirrors the message that was shared. Secret Art Mystery School is now open A long time coming, I’m so excited that very soon there will be a more intimate way for us to connect and gather, to go deeper into some of the topics we explore here, and to dig into some transformative practices and teachings in a more interactive and private setting.

Horror, truly, is not on a screen. It is genocide, famine, senseless murder, seemingly endless oppression, and the utter insanity that spurs it on…. While Israel barrels on—despite growing consensus that it is committing genocide—what shall we do? Who shall we be? How shall we respond? Two years after October 7th, which was not the beginning, let’s consider what antisemitism actually is. Because it’s certainly not what the representatives of Israel say it is. But it is something.

The seemingly impossible is possible now for some of us, prepared to take a leap of faith. What am I saying? We’ve been leaping already multiple times a day. We’ve been efforting—many of us—for many years. But it’s easier now… we can slip into love like sweatpants and rest there. We’ve experienced “altered states”. We’ve tasted the transcendent—not as an escape from life, but as the full embodiment of it. For it’s not some far off reality, but is here, in our bodies, in our lives—messy, and incomplete, and beautifully imperfect as they are. We are stabilizing this “alter” reality now; it’s becoming no longer alter but simply real. The extraordinary becomes ordinary as we see—and feel—that what we’ve been seeking is only ever right here and now—and always ever right here and now… It happens both in time and out of time, as we learn and practice and work towards something only to find that it lies utterly beyond spacetime, and is available to us no matter how much work we’ve done, or how hard we’ve tried, or how “good” we are. What might be possible as we rest within love that is fierce for that's what love is...? This is the real revolution. For, for this revolution to be truly revolutionary, it must be of love. We’ve tried violence, haven’t we, us humans? There is only one way forward and it is the way of the heart, the way of the rose…. And it is not weak or meek, but fierce for true love is not a pushover but a lion… This is a meditation on the Pisces-Virgo axis, and the releases and refinements especially available to us during this eclipse season (~August 30-September 29, 2025), during this eclipse cycle (September 2024-February 2027).

A more casual episode, woven from a series of asides, in which I explore language, power, creativity, and the changing nature of my work. We consider how words so often come to be stripped of depth in their overuse, with “innovation,” and “healing” as examples. I share a bit about my own current astrology transits (Uranus, in particular) and their connection to my current phase of experimentation, which is showing up in my work on the podcast—this episode in particular—as well as my work with clients.

Neptune in Aries 2025-2039 and the Saturn-Neptune conjunction 2025/2026. Within one year, ALL of the outer planets change signs (if we include Pluto in Aquarius in late 2024), as I spoke about in my 2025 episode (still highly relevant btw). This speaks to massive, collective shifts in energetics, and, of course, changes to our material realities will follow. In this episode, I speak specifically to Neptune’s transit through Aries (2025-2039), as well as the Saturn-Neptune conjunction (2025-2026). Neptune in Aries March 30 2025 — October 22, 2025 January 26 2026 — May 21 2038 October 21 2038 — March 23 2039 Saturn in Aries May 24 2025 — Sep 1 2025 Feb 13 2026 — Apr 12 2028 Neptune signifies our ideals, which can either be idealistic, or worthy aspirations, depending on how we relate to them. Neptune governs the imaginal realm, in all its many colours, from the act of creation in the murky waters of dreamtime, to fantasy and escapism, and the potentials for confusion, delusion, deception. At best, and with discernment and discipline (offered by Saturn, co-present in Aries until 2028), Neptune can incline toward mystical knowing, spiritual experience, and unconditional love. When Neptune’s energy is brought to bear on other archetypes or energies, it has the potential to dissipate, dissolve, melt, transcend, unify, spiritualize. One way of thinking of Neptune is as access to the astral (or 4D)—our experience of which depends almost entirely on our state of mind. Enter with fear: meet the demons. Come with love and awareness, and experience heaven on earth…. Aries has a different flavour. It’s fiery and driven, and often anti-authoritarian. It’s the one courageous (and sometimes rash) enough to carve out new paths in every domain, the one cutting the trail and willing to risk it all to lead humanity to new horizons. Aries is The Will, and Will on Earth has been drastically misunderstood, shamed, suppressed, and— as with everything condemned to the unconscious— distorted and twisted. Anything repressed will express in harmful ways, when it can’t be suppressed any longer. There is a need to release our Will—"Will Power”, “Free Will”,—from the shadows and begin to express it in more conscious ways. Aries governs action, assertion, aggression, and violence. In its correct expression, it’s the true Spiritual Warrior (a key theme with spiritualizing Neptune now in the sign), the one who aligns Will and action with what is right and true and good. The one who knows how to relate to even violence with consciousness and discernment. The one willing to consider: is there a right use of violence? And if so, when, and how, and where, and why? The true warrior never resorts to violence because it’s easy, or out of fear, or revenge, or retribution, and yet, is willing to acknowledge the hard reality that life on earth is and has been, so often, so violent. However we decide to answer to the question, “is there a right use of violence,” we live now in the shadows of millenia of a karmic cycle of violence on Earth spinning and spinning out of control. Is there a way out? How can we break the cycle? These are key themes connected to Neptune’s transit through Aries until 2039, and I go deeper into these in the recording. We may have to move through an arc of idealism and the valorization of Aries traits, through disillusionment and only then, access the potential for spiritualization; a common Neptunian storyline. Neptune’s transit through Aries is importantly coloured by Saturn’s presence in the sign until 2028, and a Saturn-Neptune conjunction, very close as I write this in July 2025, but not exact until February 20th 2026. Saturn and Neptune form a conjunction approximately every 36 years. As Saturn signifies structure, boundaries, walls, borders, as well as time, age, maturity, discipline, effort, authority, and institutions including The State; and Neptune signifies dissolution, transcendence, dissolving, murkiness, deception, confusion, but also of course, the potential for compassion and universal love…. you might draw some of your own correlations to how these planets coming together are already showing up. One of the reasons a conjunction is considered a “hard” aspect is that there can be a competition between the two planets’ energies. Ideally they blend and find a way to cooperate, but sometimes one of them overrides the other. This also depends very much on the history and unique situation of those involved. Astrologers famously connect the fall of the Berlin wall with the last time these two planets came together (the dissolving effect of Neptune acting on structural aspect of Saturn). The Tiananmen Square massacre occurred the same year, which may be an example of the shadow side of the Saturnian principle embodied by The State overpowering the collective Neptunian desire for dissolving excessive State power....Continued on Substack...

In the first part of Simulation Distortion, we discussed how the simulation hypothesis relies on the assumption that matter (be it a brain or computer) creates or causes consciousness. This has never been shown scientifically. Given that this is a massive assumption, rooted in the reductive materialist paradigm, which is being questioned from all sides, The Simulation Hypothesis itself appears to be on shaky ground. Nevertheless, the theory is quite popular. Why? In part one, I said I think there are at least three reasons: 1) from the perspective of consensus reality/reductive materialism, it seems almost inevitable; to anyone steeped in this paradigm, it will make intuitive sense. 2) The hypothesis is similar to, although importantly different from, spiritual frameworks like the Hindu concept of Maya or the Gnostic idea that the material realm was created by the Demiurge. So, while distorted, it may nevertheless strike a chord with a more spiritual intuition. In this part, I speak to a third reason: political pressures driving the appeal of the simulation hypothesis. In this liminal moment of late-stage-not-even-really-capitalism-almost-something-else-altogether, right on the cusp of a new world order, there is massive incentive toward the promotion (intentional or not) of worldviews and philosophies that clear the way for accelerated datafication. Given that our current economic model demands continuous growth, there’s a need to develop and exploit new markets. The key market being developed at the moment is data. Market pressures, politics, and power skew culture that favours philosophies and thinking that make way for intensified “datafication”. If we already believe we live in a simulation, then why not live more of our lives online? Why not give our attention away? Why not hook our brains up to the internet? Why not merge with the machine? Here’s the thing though: no matter how dystopic it looks: we are free. I haven’t figured out how to really express this; there are important and tangible ways in which we are not free. But there’s a deep spiritual truth here. We must remember we are free. Just because certain forms of thought are popular or promoted by “important” people, doesn’t mean they are true. It starts in the mind. This is our spiritual work. This is our initiation. Our power is the well of creativity we have access to as beings still in touch with actual reality, which is precisely that which cannot be theorized, captured, or coded. The extent to which we see ourselves as victims, or wait around for governments to fix things, is the extent to which we revoke our power. Do you see how our reaction to the realization of this distortion can so easily play into it? How we respond to this situation is everything. We are here to create. Creation must begin before there is any evidence for it. It’s through believing in our own very human, non-machinic modes of loving and imagining that we seed the beautiful world that is alternative to the dystopic one on offer. We can’t expect them to do it for us. This is our work. This is our privilege. This is our initiation. What if WE are the creator beings, dreaming new worlds into being, not by code, but by love? It’s come full circle in an interesting way: we are trapped in a simulation. The simulated-theoretical-structure that pretends at reality, that seeks to trap all of life, The Great Mystery, the ineffable, the relational, the affective, within its finite frame. The simulation we are trapped in is a mental construct, not a coded one. The good news is, this is a simulation we have the power to break free of…..

When I started this series, Science and the Erotic Order, I didn’t know I’d be initiated into even deeper layers of perception of and grieving for the denigration of Goddess in the West and the immense ripples that mythic inheritance has sent through the millenia, and through the world. But that’s what it means to do this kind of work publicly. You can’t be public about these things, and not be asked to go deeper with it yourself. After publishing the first few episodes in late Summer, early Fall of 2024, I started having some intense and profound experiences that I needed to process privately before I could return to working on this series. This is a heartfelt exploration of what this series is really about. I set aside argument, proof, evidence—just for a moment, so I can express where this is all going; a sort of preliminary and tentative conclusion, if you will. This is an exploration of gender in the sciences; how gender was woven into the very birth of science in the scientific revolution; how our mythic inheritance has shaped even this supposedly objective aspect of our culture; what that means for contemporary thought and psychology; and what we might do to right the imbalance.

Science and the Erotic Order is back, with this, the fifth in my series on science and consciousness For many people, the idea that we live in a simulation holds a certain intuitive appeal: there does seem to be something dreamlike or not fully real to reality itself. We explore the simulation hypothesis by looking at Nick Bostrom’s 2003 paper, Are We Living in a Computer Simulation, that first proposed the idea in a scientific context. While the hypothesis holds a lot of weight from a materialist paradigm, as soon as we consider the role that consciousness plays, the hypothesis loses some of its appeal. Plato’s cave, the Hindu concept of Maya, and the Gnostic Demiurge similarly question the nature of reality. The difference though, is that in these frameworks, philosophical and spiritual practice are meant to bring us closer to the truth. The simulation hypothesis, on the other hand, leads to the conclusion that we are forever trapped in a “simulated” reality and that we ourselves may not even be “real”. Is this irreality simply a logical conclusion we ought to accept, or is the simulation hypothesis leaving out something important? This episode is part of my series Science and the Erotic Order.

The energy shifts half way through the recording, as we invite all that was surfaced to clear. As we release what isn’t ours to carry, more of our own true nature can come back to us. As we embody more of who we truly are, we align more fully with our destiny. This shall be a big year, friends. We’re gonna to do this, and we’re gonna do it together.
