Episode 37 ➤It's Okay to Be Awkward | Take a Brave Step Toward the One You Love

※This article is based on Episode 37 of 『ヘタレオオカミと毒舌赤ずきん』. I'll be diving straight into the analysis, so if you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend checking it out first. Everyone Becomes Awkward Around Someone They Like Your heart races the moment your crush enters your field of view. When they're standing right in front of you, you get so nervous that you can't even hold a normal conversation. Your palms become sweaty. You want to look cool. You want to seem cute. But somehow... nothing goes the way you imagined. Well, that's what happens when you're in love. So this time, “I’m such a wimp—I’m ashamed of myself,” “I can’t muster the courage that girl has.” To help you—someone who feels that way—take even just one step forward, we’ll work together to find your own unique approach to expressing your feelings—one that plays to your greatest strengths. Of course, this isn't one of those articles that promises: "You'll succeed 100%!" "This will guarantee they'll fall in love with you!" That's not what this is about. But if there's someone you truly like, you probably want to do everything you can. That's exactly why I wrote this article. Let's begin. You Don't Have to Be Smooth to Find Love In Episode 37 of 『ヘタレオオカミと毒舌赤ずきん』, I portrayed Lilva's struggle— wanting to say "I like you," but simply being unable to. Or rather, he’s just a total wimp who’s so embarrassed that he blatantly comes across as clueless. Since the main character is male, today's examples will lean slightly toward a male perspective. He wants to confess. Yet what comes out instead is, "I don't like you!" He wishes he could be confident. He wishes he could approach the person he loves in a cool, natural way. He wants to be loved back. And yet, the more he becomes aware of those feelings, the more everything falls apart. My response to that is simple. "Isn't that perfectly fine?" Then be with someone who falls in love with your awkwardness. That's always been my core belief. To begin with, the whole idea that "Men have to act this way." is already creating unnecessary pressure. Women often expect too much, and men put far too much pressure on themselves. Happiness Comes From Being Yourself Think about it. If following the perfect dating playbook— being smooth, confident, and flawless— were all it took to find happiness, then no one would ever be fooled by a pretty face. No one would go bankrupt chasing after a charming host. But reality clearly doesn't work that way. In other words, you don't need to be perfect to build a happy relationship. Be yourself. Choose the approach that feels natural to you. Do everything you can. Even if it doesn't match society's expectations. Even if it doesn't match what some women imagine as "ideal." Even if it's awkward. Because if someone can smile and say, "That's exactly what I love about you." then I honestly believe there's no greater happiness than that. Discover Your Own Way of Showing Love So what exactly is your own unique way of approaching someone you love? That's the theme of today's article. And this applies to women just as much. The idea that "Women should simply wait." isn't necessary either. It’s okay for women to take that courageous first step, isn’t it? This article is designed for everyone, regardless of gender. So as you continue reading, try applying everything to yourself. Next time, we'll explore all 12 zodiac signs and answer the question: "What if you're not using your natural approach to love effectively?" ➤ Your Love Approach Is Guided by Mars | Is Your Mars Functioning Properly?

Is Your Mars Working? | Discover Your Natural Way to Approach Someone You Love When you think about approaching someone you like, what comes to mind? Giving them flowers? Escorting them? Showing confidence and strength? For women, perhaps it's: Being considerate. Being kind. Giving compliments. ...There are countless ways. But they all have one thing in common. They are all actions. Today's Planet: Mars The planet we'll be looking at today is Mars. In astrology, Mars represents how you take action. It shows how you move forward, how you initiate, and how you pursue what you want. By understanding your Mars, you can discover what kind of romantic approach suits you best, and what kind of actions allow your natural charm to shine. But before we get there, let's look at something first. What happens if your Mars isn't functioning properly? What kind of awkward romantic mistakes are you likely to make? Let's find out. First, Create Your Birth Chart Create your natal chart using the link below. (Geocentric charts are perfectly fine.) ➤Create Your Birth Chart in 3 Minutes The planet you're looking for is: ♂ Mars Lilba is in the constellation Sagittarius on Mars. Ready? What Happens When Your Mars Isn't Functioning? If your Mars isn't working the way it should, what kind of blunders might you make when it comes to love? Zodiac Sign If Your Mars Is Too Weak... ♈ Aries You can't find the courage to take the first step, even when the opportunity is right in front of you. ♉ Taurus You seek comfort so much that you never leave your comfort zone. ♊ Gemini You keep thinking and talking, but never actually take action. ♋ Cancer You prioritize the other person's feelings so much that you suppress your own. ♌ Leo You lose confidence and stop expressing who you really are. ♍ Virgo You wait for perfection and never get started. ♎ Libra You fear rejection so much that you can't make your own decisions. ♏ Scorpio You lock your feelings away and never express them. ♐ Sagittarius You lose the desire to take chances, leaving your dreams as nothing more than dreams. ♑ Capricorn Responsibility always comes first, while your own desires are pushed aside. ♒ Aquarius You keep too much distance and struggle to build meaningful connections. ♓ Pisces Your imagination grows, but nothing ever happens in reality. How was it? When Mars isn't functioning well, you may find yourself unable to take even the very first step toward someone you love. That's exactly the situation Lilva, the timid protagonist of the manga, finds himself in. Next time, I'll share my own thoughts on one important question: Why does the Mars we're all born with stop functioning the way it should? ➤ You Don't Need the "Perfect" Way to Love | What's Holding Your Mars Back?

Some people simply can't approach the person they like. They can't even take the first step. And they're far from alone. Generally speaking, people often point to reasons such as: Low self-esteem Past heartbreak or rejection Perfectionism Anxiety Attachment styles (especially avoidant or anxious attachment) From an astrological perspective, there are many possible explanations as well. Perhaps Mars itself struggles to express its energy. Perhaps its sign or house placement makes action more difficult. Perhaps it's receiving challenging aspects from other planets. Saturn may be applying the brakes. The Moon may amplify fear and emotional insecurity. Venus may lean toward passivity. Pluto or Neptune may encourage idealization. All of these can make it difficult to act. For example, with a strong Saturn influence, thoughts like "What if I fail?" or "Maybe I should wait for the right moment." become stronger. The brakes overpower the accelerator. With the Moon, fear of getting hurt keeps you inside your comfort zone. With Venus, you may find yourself thinking, "I want them to come to me." "I'd rather let things happen naturally." With Pluto or Neptune, you may idealize someone so much that you can't even approach them. "If making a move could ruin this relationship, maybe I shouldn't move at all." These kinds of extreme thoughts become more common. But That's Not What I Want to Talk About Today Of course, these planetary placements have meaning. Perhaps your lesson is to overcome those brakes. Or perhaps your chart is guiding you toward relationships that begin because you're naturally receptive rather than aggressive. That depends on the entire birth chart. So for today, let's set that discussion aside. Because what I really want to talk about is something else. We've Been Taught That "Doing It Right" Is Everything This article isn't about turning men into perfect gentlemen. Nor is it about teaching women irresistible dating techniques. My goal is much simpler. I want to help you take one step toward someone you love. Yet so many people believe: "If I can't do it, then I'm not good enough." Where Did These Templates Come From? Why do we believe things like: "A cool confession is the right way." "Being nice is the secret to love." "Men think this way." "Women want that." "My partner must be expecting this." Where did these templates come from? ① Human Instinct The biggest reason is probably our biological instincts. The reproductive systems humanity has developed over thousands of years. But that's about the body. Not necessarily about happiness. I've explained this in more detail here. ➤Important Article | Human Beings Are Built Upon Only Three Forces ➤When God Equals God | For Those Living in a World That Has Lost Neptune ② Stories Are Beautiful Another reason is the stories we love. Manga. Movies. Drama. A cool hero makes the perfect confession. A shy protagonist finally gathers enough courage to confess at the perfect moment. Professional creators make us feel every emotion. That's why these stories are wonderful. I love them too. But at the same time, they can quietly plant another belief. "This is what happiness looks like." "Only people who confess like this find love." "If only I could become a hero like that..." Stories are fun. They really are. But— I don't need that!! Your Mind and Your Heart Are Fighting Each Other Without realizing it, your mind keeps collecting rules. "This is how I should act." "This is what courage looks like." Meanwhile, your heart has its own way of loving. Its own way of reaching out. Eventually, those two begin to collide. Your mind. Your heart. They stop moving in the same direction. And what happens then? Brakes. "Maybe I'm just not good enough." "Why am I like this?" Little by little, your confidence disappears. But ask yourself this. Who are you trying to become? Even if pretending to be someone else brings you happiness, that happiness won't last forever. Because eventually, you'll become exhausted trying to maintain someone you were never meant to be. That's why I want to tell you this. It's okay to be awkward. Express your feelings in your own way. Approach people in a way that feels true to you. That's the heart of this entire series. But Going Full Throttle Isn't the Answer Either Of course, that doesn't mean, "I'll just use my Mars however I want!" Ignoring the other person's feelings, constantly pushing yourself forward, or endlessly trying to get their attention— that isn't the answer either. So next, let's look at the opposite problem. What happens when the brakes disappear completely? ➤ When Mars Goes Out of Control | When Romantic Pursuit Turns Into Pressure

So far, I've been encouraging you to make use of your Mars (♂). To take that first step toward the person you love. But there's one important thing we must not forget. Mars Isn't Just the Planet of Action Mars represents action, courage, and the drive to move forward. But it also governs anger, aggression, and conflict. In other words, when Mars is used the wrong way, your attempt to approach someone you love can slowly transform into something entirely different. Instead of expressing affection, you may end up putting pressure on the other person. What began as an approach can become something that feels overwhelming or even intimidating. Is Your Mars Running Wild? So this time, let's look at what happens when Mars becomes excessive. Below is a guide for each zodiac sign. You've already created your birth chart, so simply find your Mars sign. Zodiac Sign When Mars Goes Too Far... ♈ Aries You charge ahead without considering the other person's feelings. ♉ Taurus You become overly attached and struggle to let go. ♊ Gemini You talk, text, or joke so much that it becomes overwhelming. ♋ Cancer You become overly protective and unintentionally smother the other person. ♌ Leo You focus too much on showing yourself off and lose balance. ♍ Virgo You become overly critical or controlling without realizing it. ♎ Libra You try to please everyone and lose sight of your true feelings. ♏ Scorpio Jealousy, possessiveness, and emotional testing become stronger. ♐ Sagittarius Your need for freedom ends up pulling the other person around. ♑ Capricorn You start trying to manage or control the relationship. ♒ Aquarius You push your own beliefs so strongly that you ignore the other person's perspective. ♓ Pisces Your emotions overwhelm you, making you emotionally dependent. Mars Isn't Better When It's Stronger How did your result look? When Mars is too weak, you can't even take the first step. But when Mars becomes excessive, you risk becoming someone who overwhelms the people around you. Mars isn't a planet that's simply better when it's stronger. Nor is it better when it's weaker. The goal is balance. Knowing when to move forward, and knowing when to stop. That's what it means to use Mars well. Mars is a powerful force— and one that deserves to be handled with care.

From the Age of Air — Why Has the World Begun to Change So Drastically? When you look at the state of the world today, what do you think? There are wars. Oil supplies are being disrupted. Natural disasters are occurring. The nature of politics is changing. What will happen to our lives from here? So many of the realities we see around us seem to bring nothing but uncertainty. But in fact, all of these things can be described by one single word. Change. In the world of Western astrology, there is a well-known concept called the Age of Air—an era of change. In this series, beginning with the Age of Air, I want to explore questions such as: What kind of message are the stars giving us now? What are we being asked to do? What will happen to the Earth from here? Everything I write will be my own interpretation, but I would like to organize and share these ideas with you. I will explain the basics as we go, but there will likely be quite a few technical terms. Still, I believe that knowing or not knowing these things can make a significant difference in how we understand the changes ahead, so I hope you will stay with me. First, I would like to explain the Age of Air, an era that is expected to continue for roughly the next 200 years. What Are the Age of Earth and the Age of Air? In astrology, it is said that the central themes of society shift approximately every 200 years. One of the markers of this transition is the Great Conjunction—the alignment of Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter and Saturn come together approximately once every 20 years. And depending on which zodiac sign this conjunction occurs in, the theme of the era is believed to change. After continuing in the same element for roughly 200 years, the focus shifts to the next element. Then, in 2020— Jupiter and Saturn came together in Aquarius. Because of this, many astrologers believe that we moved from the Age of Earth, which had continued for around 200 years, into the Age of Air. What Was the Age of Earth? The Age of Earth (approximately 1800–2020) The Age of Earth was an era that emphasized: Material things, ownership, and tangible achievement. At the center of society were questions such as: “How much do you own?” “How much have you built?” In other words, value was based on things that could be seen and measured. Key Characteristics of the Age of Earth The pursuit of material wealth Money, land, assets, and other tangible possessions were seen as valuable. Organizations and hierarchical society Companies, nations, titles, and vertical structures formed the foundation of society. Stability and accumulation Staying in the same place and building something over time was highly valued. Authority and brands Educational background, company names, and social titles became standards of credibility. In other words, during the Age of Earth, adapting yourself to the values defined by society was considered the basic way to survive. Get into a good company. Earn a respected title. Build assets. Receive recognition from society. Accumulating this kind of “external value” was connected to wealth and security. What Is the Age of Air? The Age of Air (from 2020 onward) The Age of Air is an era centered around: Individuality, intellect, and self-worth. During the Age of Earth, external evaluation was a source of value. But in the Age of Air, the central question becomes: “Who am I?” Some people may hear the word “air” and imagine an age of information, communication, and connection. And of course, that is not wrong. But simply receiving information or connecting with other people does not mean that you are truly living in the Age of Air. What do you think? What do you believe? What do you choose to express? Only when a person has established their own individuality and ideas can their connection with others gain real value. That is why I see the Age of Air as: “An era in which each person’s self-worth is being questioned.” Your Individuality Becomes Your Value The “individual” I am referring to here is not simply someone who insists on expressing themselves. From an astrological perspective, it means: A person who is fully expressing the qualities they were born with. In other words— A person who is using their own individuality one hundred percent. And then, those individualities resonate with one another, connect, and begin to create society. Rather than imitating someone elseor chasing the same answers as everyone around you, you begin to understand the qualities you possessand engage with the world in a way that only you can. That is what will become necessary in the coming era. The Standard of Value Is Changing During the Age of Earth, “Is this socially valuable?” was one of the most important standards. But in the Age of Air, “Does this have meaning for me?” becomes increasingly important. Even when choosing the same object, people will no longer choose it simply because: Everyone else has it It is famous It will be admired by society Instead, they will choose it because: They personally see value in it It aligns with their beliefs It is necessary for their own life Resonance Between Individuals Will Create Society In the Age of Air, “empathy” and “connection” are not simply about being friendly with one another. They are about: People who have established their own individuality Connecting through shared values and ideas Creating society while each person fulfills their own role This kind of resonance-based network will become increasingly central. People will no longer connect simply because they belong to the same organization. Nor will they be recognized merely because they have a title. What matters will be: What do you think? What do you believe? What are you trying to create? People who resonate with those things will connect, and together they will begin to create new forms of society. The Difference Between the Age of Earth and the Age of Air Age of Earth Value is determined by society. Age of Air Value is determined by the individual. Age of Earth Centered on material things and society. Age of Air Centered on individual thought and self-worth. Age of Earth Ownership itself is valuable. Age of Air Even whether or not you choose to own something becomes a personal choice. Age of Earth Belonging to an organization is assumed. Age of Air Even whether or not you belong becomes a choice. Age of Earth There is one correct answer. Age of Air The answer differs from person to person. Age of Earth Brands and titles. Age of Air Individuality, ideas, and self-worth. The More We Resist Change, the More Destructive Reality Becomes This is the Age of Air—and these are the things that both the world and we ourselves must begin to recognize. But while this message is being given to us by the universe, are we truly making these changes calmly and steadily? We are not. We continue to cling to old values. Organizations. Titles. Ownership. Society’s definition of what is “correct.” And while we hold on to those things, the world continues to change ahead of us. That is why we are seeing changes in reality that feel like chaos or destruction. But this does not simply mean that the world is falling apart. The systems that were necessary for the previous era are coming to an end. And we are now in the process of being reshaped into forms that will be needed in the next era. Next time, I will talk about the reforms of Uranus—the ruling planet of Aquarius, the sign that represents the Age of Air. ➤Uranus = Revolution | But What Does This “Reform” Actually Destroy?

Uranus equals revolution. This is a very well-known interpretation in Western astrology. If you look into why Uranus is associated with “reform,” several reasons are commonly given. Uranus was discovered around the time of the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution. It appeared beyond Saturn, which represents the structures and limits of this world. Its axis is tilted at an unusual angle, so it is seen as “outside the norm.” Well, the reasons do not really matter. Because Uranus genuinely has the power to reform things. In the previous article, I talked about the “Age of Air.” The sign that represents this Age of Air is Aquarius. And Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. The moment we entered the Age of Air, transformations began occurring all over the world. At that point, you cannot help but think: Uranus really does have the power to bring change. The “Reform” People Commonly Talk About Because Uranus is associated with reform, astrology often speaks about things like: The materialism of the Age of Earth coming to an end Horizontal relationships replacing hierarchical ones AI moving ahead of books In other words, people often say that the Saturnian and Capricorn-like era is ending, and an Aquarian era is beginning. I think many people read it that way. But when I hear that, I think: “...Wait.” Because to me, it sounds like: “That is just denying Capricorn.” Are Capricorn and Saturn Really Going to Become Unnecessary? I believe that this world contains the power of all twelve zodiac signs. And I believe that a world in which all of those powers function is the complete world. Otherwise, why were Capricorn and Saturn created in the first place? They exist because they are necessary, right? Would it not be strange if the conclusion were to throw them away in the end? If that were the case, they should not have been created from the beginning. That is how I see it. When people say, “The age of Saturn is ending,” it sounds to me like they are saying: “Capricorn people are old-fashioned, so we do not need them anymore.” And then it starts to sound like this: “Now it is the age of the individual. Let us get rid of Capricorn, the one that made us all miserable, and be happy together.” But I cannot see a world built like that as peaceful. That is why I cannot agree with this interpretation. What I Believe True Reform Is So then, what is Uranian reform? I do not believe Uranus exists to destroy Saturn and bring it to an end. I believe Uranus removes the unnecessary things that have become mixed into Saturn’s world, bringing it closer to a Neptunian kind of peace. That, I believe, is Uranus’s true role. If we look at the changes that have occurred since the Age of Air began: The Epstein case The exposure of the ugly entertainment and crimes of the wealthy Calls for corrupt politicians to step down Backlash from countries thrown into chaos by immigration Job losses in practical office work caused by AI These events are all revelations of distortions occurring within Saturnian domains. Power.Institutions. Nations. Economies. Labor. The limits and corruption within the systems we have called “reality” are beginning to surface. That is why I understand why some people read this as: “The old Saturn is coming to an end!” I understand it. But still. I prioritize my interpretation of the Sabian Symbols of Aquarius, the sign ruled by Uranus. What the Sabian Symbols of Aquarius Reveal I reorganized all of the Sabian Symbols so that you can learn to interpret yourselves. ➤All Sabian Symbol And through doing that, I realized something. The Sabian Symbols of Aquarius are often said to represent: “Freedom” “Equality” “Innovation” “Humanitarianism” They are often described as symbols of destroying old values and opening the way for a new era. But when you look carefully at the Sabian Symbols, Aquarius has another flow. Knowing and establishing your own individuality → Letting go of old values That is the flow. Aquarius is not simply a sign that destroys old values. There is only a brief phase at the beginning in which things are broken down. After that, the process becomes: Letting go of what is unnecessary in order to establish your own individuality. All thirty Sabian Symbols seem to be arranged as if they are relentlessly pursuing this process. And I believe that this act of “letting go” is: Reform = the true role of Uranus. The Flow of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune In a previous article: ➤Important Article | Human Beings Are Built Upon Only Three Forces I explained Uranus as something like a pipe connecting Saturn and Neptune. Saturn is this world—matter. In other words, Saturn is this physical reality itself. The question, then, is Neptune. In a previous article, I explained Neptune as “the invisible world.” And in this article: ➤ What Is God? | Exploring the Concept of God Through Astrology I explained God as an extremely elevated form of Neptune. And when we consider the absolute rule I explained here: ➤When God Equals God | For Those Living in a World That Has Lost Neptune Neptune must be allowed to exist as Neptune. In other words, the world where God lives must also be Neptunian. Otherwise, something is wrong. What kind of world do you imagine God living in? Most people would probably imagine something like this: A world with nothing unnecessary. Quiet. Calm. Without conflict. Filled with happiness. A peaceful world. That is right. Neptune also has an aspect that represents a peaceful world. So: Saturn: this current physical world, where crime also exists Neptune: in order to turn this world into a peaceful one Uranus : removes the unnecessary things This is what I believe is the most reasonable interpretation. And in fact, Pisces—the sign ruled by Neptune—comes after Aquarius. Saturn Does Not Disappear — It Remains That is why I believe that saying, “The Age of Capricorn is ending,” would also deny people who are living through the pure and beautiful energy of Capricorn. It gives me the feeling that such an interpretation has stepped outside the system of this world. We are not simply getting rid of Saturn. We are removing what is unnecessary in order to move toward a peaceful Neptunian world. It only looks as though reform is happening mainly to Capricorn. In reality, the thing being removed just happens to be: the Saturnian domain of Capricorn that has become corrupted. That is what I believe is actually happening. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. But Saturn is also its traditional co-ruler. Saturn is still there. And yet, people say: “The age of Saturn is over!” I believe that interpretation is far too simplistic. That is only my own view, of course. Reform Appears to Be Happening First I believe that over the next two hundred years, reforms will occur in the world according to the Sabian Symbols of Aquarius. But this raises a question. The flow of Aquarius’s Sabian Symbols is: Knowing and establishing your own individuality → Letting go of old values But in reality, major transformations are already happening in the world. It looks as though reform is happening first. That has always bothered me. But when you think about it carefully, we have already, without question, entered the process of: “Knowing our own individuality.” Next time, I would like to explain this. ➤The Chaos We’re Experiencing Now Is a Sign to Establish Your True Self

Is the Chaos in the World Happening to Wake Us Up? Have You Been Feeling That Something Is Wrong With the World? Everyone. Have you ever felt that something about the world is not right lately? No matter how hard you work, life does not seem to get easier. The more you think about the future, the more anxious you become. When you watch the news, all you see are things that make you angry. The advancement of AI and jobs being taken away. Rising prices. Immigration issues. Government corruption. So many things are happening. And they all have one thing in common: “We are suffering.” The government. The environment. Immigrants. AI. They all seem to be making our lives harder. “If only they were not here.” “If only this did not exist.” I think many people are filled with anger. Could This Suffering Be Happening to Push Us Toward Change? But think about it. What if this suffering itself is happening to push us toward change? From here on, I will share my interpretation through the flow of the stars. Rather than judging these events as simply good or evil, I want to look at what they are forcing us to confront. In my previous article, I wrote that before the changes of the “Age of Air” fully unfold, we would first need to establish ourselves as individuals. Yet right now, it may look as though global reform is coming first. Of course, that too may be part of the transformation. But I believe that before that could happen, we needed to be pushed into discomfort. People Do Not Reconsider Their Lives Until They Reach Their Limit Why? Because unless things become this difficult, people will not truly look at their own lives. We are pressured. We face unfairness. We endure, and endure, and endure— Until finally we say: “I hate this life. This is bullshit! I’m going to claim my real happiness!” Only then do people return to themselves and begin trying to take back their own lives. In other words, unless things reach this point, we often do nothing. The Universe May Be Guiding Us Toward Self-Definition So perhaps, from the universe’s point of view, it is saying: “What? The time for personal transformation has already arrived, and you still are not moving? Oh, come on… I guess I have no choice…” That is why, to me, it feels as though the world is being pushed toward chaos. What Is Actually Happening? I have organized the ways this guidance may be appearing in the world into three themes. If you would like to explore them in more detail, please see the articles below. ➤ AI Doesn't Take Away Jobs | What the Stars Are Trying to Bring to an End ➤Immigration Is Designed to Fail | What the Age of Air Is Asking of Us ➤Why Does Political Corruption Exist｜ What the Stars Are Trying to Bring to an End Everything Is Happening to Wake Us Up In any case— All of this may be asking us: “Look! Wake up! Are you really sure you want to keep living this life?” The problems in this world may be rising to the surface to make us realize that. Everything is happening to wake us up. Reform Itself Must Not Become the Goal However, reform itself must not become the goal. The French Revolution was also a major transformation. But if we lose sight of the goal, change can end up becoming nothing more than an event of the past. Next: How Should We Face the Changes Happening Now? Next time, I will summarize how we should face the changes that are happening now. ➤ What Should We Do in the Age Ahead? | The One Answer the Stars Are Showing Us

I have examined the issue of immigration—which has sparked intense debate around the world—from the perspective of the Age of Wind. Why is this issue causing such widespread turmoil in country after country? I will explore what the Age of Wind truly seeks, which lies behind the immigration issue. *Please note that this is merely my personal analysis based on the structure of the stars. Some readers may find it offensive. However, if it serves as an opportunity for people to pause and reevaluate these values that are taken for granted, I believe it will have been worth writing.

With the rapid evolution of AI, many people are anxious that their jobs will be taken away. However, I believe that what AI is truly seeking to bring an end to is not simply “jobs.” What is the style of work that leverages individuality—the very thing that is needed in this Age of the Wind? I will explore the evolution of AI from an astrological perspective. *Please note that this is merely my personal analysis based on the structure of the stars. Some readers may find it offensive. However, if it serves as an opportunity for people to pause and reevaluate these values that are taken for granted, I believe it will have been worth writing.
