The Leap That Doesn’t Make Sense (Until It Does) Nº66
Controversial but necessary.
There are truths that live in our bodies long before they reach our words. You might feel it as restlessness. Or a quiet tug beneath the surface of your routines. Maybe it shows up as a knowing that something has to shift, even if you can’t name exactly what. This is the threshold of a quantum leap — a moment where the soul stretches beyond logic, and the old self begins to fall away.
In the digital age, this feeling often gets numbed. We reach for our phones, scroll for clarity, consume instead of create. But deep down, you know this isn’t where your answers live. The answers live in your body, your art, your presence. And the discomfort you’re feeling? That’s the invitation.
But, what are Quantum Leaps?
Quantum Leaps, to me, represent when you want to make a major shift in your life, outside of a traditional method. You’re staring at the same project, in the same room, and something in your chest tightens. It’s not burnout — it’s a knowing. A sense that life could be different, and that maybe it’s time to jump, even if you don’t know where you’ll land.
These changes are mirrors — your desire showing you what your soul already knows it wants. Your desire can be reframed as a map to your dreams, and learning to trust the outcome here is a major element of this work. Sometimes a Quantum Leap doesn’t feel like a leap at all — it feels like chaos, like everything’s off course. But life isn’t off-track; it’s just rerouting you faster than your mind can catch up. Please remember, rejection is protection.
I am sure you can pull back a memory from your early adulthood when something wasn’t going to plan. It may have felt like a major roadblock, you may have felt a feeling of victimization, or the sense ‘why me’?
Does your adult self look back on those moments still like they held you back, or can you see now how they carved your path? Reflecting on these patterns can help us notice where we are stuck or falling into victimization. Remember that your life is happening for you, not to you.
We are living through a time of quiet miracles and massive contradictions. While synchronicities bloom around us — in the way a hummingbird appears just when we’re doubting ourselves, or when someone affirms us with exactly what we needed to hear — we’re taught to distrust our intuition, to silence the curiosity that detects connection.
From a young age, we’re ushered into systems that reward performance over presence. We're taught to intellectualize our emotions, to treat our sensitivity like a flaw to outgrow. But what if our feelings — our aches, longings, subtle shifts in breath — are not distractions from power, but pathways to it?
Our feelings are gifts that are tied into a broader spectrum of power. A soft power that includes nuances like physical symptoms, somatics, and desire. This ‘soft’ power has been undermined by an idea of what power is. It’s time to reclaim it.
This softness is not weakness. It is intuitive, relational, and cyclical. It speaks in the language of nature: in the way animals know when to migrate, or how the moon pulls the tides. It’s a feminine force — not tied to gender, but to essence. And in a world that’s breaking under the weight of relentless productivity and disconnection, this kind of power is not optional. It’s medicine.
Astrologically, we’re in a powerful moment. Saturn is currently moving through Pisces — a sign that rules imagination, intuition, dreams, illusion. The last times this happened were 1994–1996, 1964–1967, and 1935–1938.
In each of these eras, we saw systems unravel. Economic shifts, spiritual awakenings, social movements that forced people to confront what was real and what was illusion. From the civil rights movement to the rise of counterculture to the early internet age — these were moments when the veil lifted. The collective got uncomfortable. Old paradigms cracked open.
Some examples of what happened during these time periods; 1935: The Nuremberg Laws were enacted in Nazi Germany — institutionalizing racial ideology and exclusion, 1967: The Summer of Love in San Francisco — peak of the hippie movement, mystical explorations, psychedelics, and dreams of a new way of living. Escapism and awakening walk side-by-side, 1994: Rwandan Genocide — over 800,000 people killed. A catastrophic human tragedy ignored by much of the global community. Pisces themes of abandonment and grief.
I think we can all draw parallels to symptoms we are witnessing today.
And now, here we are again. But this time, the illusion is pixelated. We’re not just escaping into ideologies — we’re escaping into screens. Into curated identities. Into constant stimulation that keeps us detached from the wisdom of our own bodies.
Saturn in Pisces is asking us to wake up. To trade false clarity for deeper truth. To slow down long enough to feel what we’ve been avoiding. And to remember: presence is power. Stillness is rebellion. Imagination is not indulgent — it’s essential.
The process of a Quantum Leap is rarely graceful. It often begins as discomfort. A sense of internal pressure, exhaustion, overwhelm, or even physical illness. These aren’t signs that something’s wrong; they’re indicators that something deeper is reorganizing. According to Quantum Entanglement, particles that are once linked remain in communication, no matter the distance. In the same way, your present self is in constant dialogue with your future self, the one already living in alignment, clarity, and fulfillment. When we go inward, honoring our desires and tuning into what’s truly calling us, we begin to shift into that timeline. And while this transition may feel chaotic, it’s a sacred recalibration.
This isn't a spiral or a linear path. It’s more like a wheel, turning through layers of identity, shadow, truth, and purpose. Each cycle brings us back to ourselves with deeper integrity.
By understanding our personal offerings — the gifts only we can give — we not only evolve, but we also become catalysts for collective growth. Your transformation is never just for you. It’s for the web of life you’re entangled with. Every time you choose presence over performance, creativity over consumption, you help reweave that web with intention.
When everything feels like it’s falling apart, you might just be aligning with a future version of you. Let’s go deeper.
