I have examined the issue of political corruption—a problem plaguing the world—from an astrological perspective. It is not only politicians but also we, the citizens, who are being confronted with certain themes through these events. I will explore the reasons why corruption is coming to light one after another in the Age of Air, interpreting these events in light of the movements of the stars. *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.

Now that we have entered the Age of the Wind, what should we keep in mind as we go about our lives? Through my reflections so far, I have arrived at one answer. That answer is to use a horoscope to understand our own unique personality and to live our lives guided by that personality. However, this answer does not imply “great success” or “dramatic change.” I have summarized the true message the stars are trying to convey to us. *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.

It is said that the Age of the Wind will last for about 200 years from now. In light of this, I have reflected on how the Earth will change in the future, based on the Sabian symbols of Aquarius. And what I fear most is the major turning point that may arrive “100 years from now.” This is, after all, just one prediction—but precisely because of that, I believe that confronting our own individuality right now may be the first step toward changing the future. It is with this hope in mind that I wrote this reflection. *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.

The Theme This Time: Communication Or, to put it simply, the way we speak. Communication is something many people struggle with. “Why can’t I do this better...?” “I’m fine one-on-one, but when it’s a group...” “No matter how hard I try, I still get nervous...!” Things like that. But as always, don’t worry. This time as well, we’ll use your own horoscope to help you find an answer that is unique to you. The Manga We'll Use: Lie The manga we'll be using for this explanation is: Lie Since I’m going to dive straight into the analysis, be sure to check it out if you haven’t read it yet. The Protagonist's Flaw The protagonist of this story is: Aoi Nekome. Because of a certain incident, she develops a flaw: She becomes unable to lie about anything. As a result, People dislike her. She suffers. She has no friends. And she ends up living a very painful life. People Like This Actually Exist Of course, this is a manga. You won’t often find someone this extreme in real life. But people who: “Say exactly what comes to mind.” “Speak before reading the room.” “Accidentally hurt others despite having no bad intentions.” Those people absolutely exist. The Cause Is Written in the Horoscope Too In astrology, when we look at things like the way a person thinks and communicates, we use a planet called: ☿：Mercury. Nekome's Horoscope: Mercury represents: How a person thinks. How they use words. What kinds of communication habits they have. All of these things. For example, someone like Aoi Nekome, who tends to let thoughts leave their mouth the moment they appear in their head, resembles: Mercury in Aries.（Top left of the figure） Aries is a sign that reacts quickly. When it gets an idea, it acts. When it gets an idea, it speaks. That is the energy Aries carries. When expressed negatively, it can cause someone to blurt things out without thinking, unintentionally hurting others along the way. Of course, this is only one example. Communication flaws look completely different from person to person. What Is Your Flaw? Just like this, If you've ever wondered: “Why do I talk like this?” The answer is often written clearly within your horoscope. And interestingly, The way these flaws appear varies dramatically from person to person. Some people talk too much. Some people don’t talk enough. Some people become overly logical. Some people become overly emotional. So what about you? But Don’t Worry Don’t worry. That flaw of yours... Is not actually something that needs to be eliminated. In fact, depending on how you use it, it can become one of your greatest strengths. But before that, You first need to understand how that flaw is currently showing up in your life. So next time, We’ll identify which sign your Mercury is in, And explore the communication weaknesses that Mercury placement tends to create. Let’s start there. ➤ Identify Your Mercury | The Communication Mistakes You're Most Likely to Make

I still haven't fully activated the power of my Mercury!" is more than enough. Next, We'll Explore Different Environments This time, I divided things into: Work Romance Friendships Because most communication-related struggles tend to show up in these areas. That said, work and relationships are very different environments. Trying to analyze both at the same time would make things unnecessarily complicated. So from here on, we're splitting the analysis into two separate paths. Choose Your Path Pick the path that matches your current concern and continue from there. Friendship & Romance ➤ Love & Friendship Edition | What Matters More Than Being Likable Work ➤ Before Speaking as Your True Self at Work | Understand Saturn's Rules

Work Edition | How Can You Use Your Natural Way of Speaking at Work? This is the work-related branch of our communication series. Did you choose the right path? The content in this article may be a little difficult to understand if you haven't read the following articles first, so please check them out before continuing. ➤The Worlds of Limitation, Infinity, and Connection ➤Critical Principle |The Absolute Law of the Stars What I'm Trying to Achieve As I mentioned earlier in this series, my goal is not to teach you how to speak in a way that guarantees success. Instead, I want to help you discover: Your natural way of speaking. Your natural way of expressing yourself. And from there, build a way of being that is uniquely yours— even in the workplace. That is why I am writing this article. A Common Misunderstanding However, there is something important we need to be careful about. It is the idea that: "If I follow my stars, I can freely be myself no matter what!" Before we continue, let's take a closer look at that. Work Is a Saturnian World As I explained in this article: ➤Existing Right Before Your Eyes | The Saturn World and the Neptune World This world is fundamentally built upon Saturnian energy. The clearest example of this is society itself. Saturn represents: Limits. Boundaries. Structure. For example: You cannot commit crimes. If you want something, you must pay for it. If you want to build a house, you must follow the law. These are all forms of boundaries—rules. Of course, if taken too far, rules can feel restrictive. But when functioning properly, they serve as an important shield that protects society and keeps the system running. Work Exists Within Society The same is true for work. Every company has its own rules. You must follow social regulations. You must manage your time. Honor agreements. Fulfill responsibilities. This is Saturn in action. In other words, both society and work operate on Saturn's system. Therefore: Saturn = Saturn The equation holds true. Work is a Saturnian world. The Danger of "Just Be Yourself" Now, within this Saturnian world, you often hear messages in self-help books such as: "Just be yourself." And yes, there is value in that idea. However, taking it too literally can be dangerous. For example: "My way of being comes from my zodiac sign, so I should express it exactly as it is—even at work." That interpretation can easily create problems. Neptune Alone Cannot Sustain a Workplace The force that expresses itself through zodiac signs is Neptune. The flow of the universe. The direction of the soul. Your authentic nature. Those kinds of things. But work exists in a Saturnian world. At that point, we create: Saturn ≠ Neptune So what happens? Neptune begins dissolving Saturn. Rules disappear. Order disappears. The system collapses. Chaos follows. That is why Saturn must remain Saturn. Its structure must remain intact. So Should We Follow Only Saturn? Then should we simply obey Saturn and nothing else? No. That isn't the answer either. Imagine pursuing only the perfect Saturnian way of speaking: Always using flawless formal language. Speaking like a professional news anchor. Rejecting every other style of communication. Taken to the extreme, it becomes: "The correct way to influence people." "The correct way to speak to subordinates." "The correct way to sound like a leader." Only what the books say is acceptable. Everything else is wrong. That sounds pretty suffocating, doesn't it? Eventually, people begin thinking: "Why do I speak like this?" "I messed up my tone again." "I got criticized again." "Why am I so bad at this?" And before long, they fall into self-hatred. You're working in order to build a better life. So why should work become a personal hell? You may even begin losing sight of life's meaning. In other words: Saturn alone isn't enough either. So What Should We Do? The answer is actually quite simple. Express Neptune through Saturn. That's it. Let's Use Aries as an Example Take Aries. What happens if someone says: "As long as I follow Neptune, everything will be fine!" "All I have to do is act like an Aries, right?" "Got it." Then they start saying whatever comes to mind, to anyone, in any environment. "That method is outdated." That doesn't work. I think most people would agree. Now let's add Saturn. The same person might say: "The current approach may cause the company to stagnate. Here's why. Therefore, this is what I propose." This is still Aries. The same Aries. Fresh ideas The desire to take on challenges The energy of change Initiative and momentum All of those qualities are still there. The difference is that they have been translated into a form that can function within a Saturnian world. The Goal: Neptune Expressed Through Saturn The goal is not to let Neptune overflow without limits. Nor is it to suppress Neptune and follow only Saturn. The goal is to take that limitless Neptune energy and shape it into something that can function within Saturn's world. That is what I am aiming for. In other words: This is not about erasing who you are. It is about translating who you are into a form that society can understand and work with. That is the theme of this work edition. Next Time Starting next time, we'll begin exploring your unique way of speaking. However, some people may find themselves relating to experiences like these: No matter how hard I try, I never sound mature. I constantly use the wrong words. I genuinely try to speak properly, but somehow I still can't do it. If that sounds familiar, there's a good chance a powerful force is influencing your communication. For those people, I take a completely different approach. If any of this sounds familiar, check this out. ➤Mercury × Neptune | That Flaw Is Proof of Your Gift If none of this applies to you, go here right away. ➤Speak Your Brilliance at Work | Decode Mercury’s Unique Communication Talent

Relationships & Love Edition | Discover the Way You Are Meant to Speak This is the Friends & Love Edition of the "Communication" series. Did you choose the correct path? People who struggle with conversations and communication are often more likely to find themselves on this side of the journey. But before we begin, I want to make one thing clear. What awaits you here is the discovery of a way of speaking that feels truly like you. A way of speaking that is comfortable for you. A way of speaking that belongs to you. This is not a place to discover: A way of speaking that everyone likes. A way of speaking that makes your crush fall for you. A way of speaking that guarantees popularity. If that is what you're looking for, you would probably be better off reading books about communication skills or dating techniques first. Although personally, I'm not entirely sure whether a relationship built that way can truly be called friendship or love. The Conclusion I Eventually Reached To be honest, I've never been particularly good at relationships. More accurately, I used to try too hard to understand what other people were thinking. I worried too much. I paid too much attention to everyone else's feelings. And eventually, I exhausted myself. The more I studied astrology and tried to understand the stars, the more I arrived at one simple conclusion: There is no point in constantly changing yourself to match someone else. Trying to Become Someone's Ideal Type Let's say you fall in love with someone. Naturally, you might start thinking: "I want to become the type of person they like." So you study them. You learn their preferences. You copy the gestures they like. The way they like people to talk. The way they like people to behave. You work hard to become that person. But then let me ask you something. How long can you keep that up? At some point, it will become exhausting. Because that version of you was never really yours. It's a borrowed identity. One that was built specifically to gain someone's approval. This Isn't Just About Communication Of course, this isn't only about the way you speak. It's about relationships as a whole. Relationships built by suppressing who you are and constantly adapting yourself to others will eventually reach their limit. So why not start from the opposite direction? Why not be yourself from the beginning? Why not treasure the people who choose to stay anyway? Personally, I believe that is what happiness in relationships actually looks like. Sometimes Relationships Improve Interestingly enough, when you start using your stars properly and allow yourself to become more authentic, relationships can actually improve. Of course, compatibility still exists. Preferences still exist. Some people will leave. That part is unavoidable. But in exchange, relationships that were maintained through effort and self-suppression often begin to sort themselves out naturally. And one day you may find yourself thinking: "Huh... I feel lighter somehow." The relationships that felt restrictive begin to disappear. You Don't Need to Become a More Lovable Version of Yourself That is why I don't want you to aim to become a more lovable version of yourself. I want you to become a more authentic version of yourself. If love comes as a result of that, wonderful. But the order matters. First, be yourself. Then let relationships follow. That is the philosophy I personally believe in. Coming Next Next, we will finally begin decoding your Mercury and uncovering your unique communication style. Before we do that, however, there is one topic I want to touch on first. Because we're talking about communication, we should probably discuss something many people worry about: Being blunt. If you've ever thought: "People always tell me my way of speaking is too harsh..."

What Happens If You Seriously Try to Make 100 Friends? The 7th House × The 12 Zodiac Signs In this world, people often say things like: “The wider your network, the more opportunities you’ll get.” “Wow, you have so many friends!” As if: “Having more friends = having more value.” But honestly? From an astrological perspective, this is pretty interesting. Because “numbers” themselves belong to Saturn. And the moment something becomes about: numbers results achievements quotas it no longer directly connects to personal happiness. So in that sense… it’s actually kind of irrelevant. I explain that more deeply over here. ➤Why Having 100 Friends Doesn't Make You Happy | The Fundamental Difference Between Numbers and Happiness So this time, let’s look at: What would actually happen if you seriously tried to make 100 friends? We’ll explore this through the 7th House × the 12 zodiac signs. And by the way: Do not look at your Sun sign like a typical horoscope reading. This time, you need to look here instead. How to create your birth chart ➤・Create Your Birth Chart in 3 Minutes This is your 7th House＝DC. In astrology, the 7th House represents: “human relationships.” Look at the sign placed in your 7th House and see what kind of future would await you if you truly tried to achieve: “100 friends.” Alright, let’s begin! 7th House Aries “Alright!! I’m gonna be friends with EVERYONE!!” Charges in with pure momentum. At first, raw energy carries everything. But eventually: constantly considering everyone’s feelings waiting for people’s responses reading the atmosphere becomes unbearable. Result: “Why do I have to participate in this group behavior nonsense?” Explosion. 7th House Taurus Trying to maintain 100 friendships slowly destroys their life. Can’t reply to messages Too many invitations No alone time Spending too much money They gradually wear down. Eventually, “human relationships themselves” become the source of stress. 7th House Gemini Can actually make 100 friends pretty easily. That’s not the problem. The problem is: changing personalities depending on the person changing topics changing energy levels over and over again. Until eventually: “Wait… which one is the real me?” begins. 7th House Cancer Starts absorbing everyone’s emotions. “That person seems sad…” “The atmosphere over there feels bad…” “Do they hate me?” “I need to mediate this…” …for 100 people. Result: Their emotional world collapses like a broken home. 7th House Leo Eventually starts aiming to become: “the main character everyone loves.” But satisfying the expectations of 100 people forever is impossible. Result: validation addiction character exhaustion “Please see the real me” syndrome begins. 7th House Virgo Starts managing human relationships like a system. reply frequency conversation records emotional landmines personality analysis Everything gets documented. Eventually it becomes full-on office work. “Why am I working during my private life?” becomes the question. 7th House Libra Can get close to 100 friends pretty naturally. But the price is: creating “a personality nobody can dislike.” Result: people-pleasing loss of genuine feelings dependence on social atmosphere begins. 7th House Scorpio Attempts to deeply connect with all 100 people. Result: intensity obsession attachment possessiveness fires in 100 different directions. Human relationships turn into psychological horror. 7th House Sagittarius At first, it’s incredibly fun. Feels like one giant social adventure. But eventually: “I have to maintain all these relationships…” starts feeling like a prison. Result: Suddenly disappears from everyone. 7th House Capricorn Turns “The 100 Friends Project” into a life strategy. networking trust achievements communication skills become things to build and accumulate. Result: All relationships become “society.” 7th House Aquarius Can technically maintain 100 friends. But the distance is unusual. connects widely talks to anyone escapes when people get too close Result: “Lots of friends, but nobody actually knows me.” 7th House Pisces Personal boundaries disappear. empathy emotional absorption getting dragged into problems receiving everyone’s feelings …for 100 people. Result: Begins carrying the weight of 100 lives. “Having Lots of Friends” Does Not Equal Happiness See? Just because you successfully reached 100 friends doesn’t mean you suddenly arrive at happiness. Human relationships are not about numbers. No matter how far you go. No matter how much you expand. Even if you become famous. The real happiness in relationships comes when: you can naturally connect with people while feeling completely relaxed as yourself. And then suddenly: “Ah… this is fun.” That feeling. That is true happiness in human relationships. Stop Competing Through Numbers Compared to someone who achieved “100 friends” and completely lost themselves— the person who can honestly say: “I really enjoy my relationship with this one person.” is far closer to being the true winner in life.
