Today we're leaving the challenging energies of the Wood Dragon behind to embrace the more soothing energies of the Wood Snake — which happens to be my Chinese zodiac sign!
While the snake may symbolise evil and treachery in some traditions (the serpent represents the devil and temptation in the Christian Bible), in Chinese culture it symbolises wisdom, deep intuition, insight, adaptability and agility.
The Year of the Snake is often a year when relative calm and collective wisdom are observed. People begin to vaguely realise the pointlessness of the tumult of humanity, and feel more inclined towards philosophy and meditation.
Since snakes are closely in tune with the earth, and usually make their home there, the Chinese believe them to be particularly sensitive to the onset of earthquakes. A a consequence, the Snake year is said to be one in which earthquakes are more than usually severe - witness the disastrous events in China and Armenia which preceded the San Francisco earthquake in the Snake year of 1989.
Such catastrophes are likely to be matched by political upheavals. Coups, conspiracies and the ballot box are the means by which governments are overthrown, for it is a time of itnernal revolution rather than war. Similarly, in business, the dangers are not from takeover bids by outside companies, but through intrigue and insider dealing.
Yet the Snake year is also a period when the needs of the environment are highlighted. There is greater awareness of the value of the earth's resources, and 'green' issues come to the fore.
Generally speaking, it is not such a favourable time to embark on any new venture or risky projects. The year is best taken up with initial planning, research and feasibility studies; caution is the key to survival.
In keeping with taking stock of last year's achievements, I'm sharing my top reads of 2024.
Since most items in my original list are only available in French (some 40 books), you'll get a Top 5 instead. Not included either are comics and non-fiction books (I Think Too Much by Christel Petitcollin and The Reveal by David Icke, a hefty tome I haven't finished reading yet).
1. The Running Grave
To me, this latest instalment in the Cormoran Strike series is the best yet. And despite being over 900 pages long, I spent days and nights reading it, unable to put it down! An extremely well-crafted plot, fluid writing, breathless suspense, and a topical subject explored with spine-chilling realism (sensitive souls be warned), supported by engaging protagonists whose relationship captivates the reader, book after book, making this series so addictive. Some great art by J.K. Rowling under the pen name of Robert Galbraith.
Private Detective Cormoran Strike is contacted by a worried father whose son, Will, has gone to join a religious cult in the depths of the Norfolk countryside. The Universal Humanitarian Church is, on the surface, a peaceable organization that campaigns for a better world. Yet Strike discovers that beneath the surface there are deeply sinister undertones, and unexplained deaths. In order to try to rescue Will, Strike's business partner, Robin Ellacott, decides to infiltrate the cult, and she travels to Norfolk to live incognito among its members. But in doing so, she is unprepared for the dangers that await her there or for the toll it will take on her. . .

2. The Ink Black Heart
Another captivating page-turner and the second best in the series, in my opinion. A recipient of online harassment herself, Rowling addresses this rampant issue with intelligence, lucidity and panache. As usual, her plot is extremely well-conceived with many unexpected twists and turns. And the central relationship between Strike and Robin always so compelling.
When frantic, disheveled Edie Ledwell appears in the office begging to speak to her, private detective Robin Ellacott doesn’t know quite what to make of the situation. The co-creator of a popular cartoon, The Ink Black Heart, Edie is being persecuted by a mysterious online figure who goes by the pseudonym of Anomie. Edie is desperate to uncover Anomie’s true identity. Robin decides that the agency can’t help with this—and thinks nothing more of it until a few days later, when she reads the shocking news that Edie has been tasered and then murdered in Highgate Cemetery, the location of The Ink Black Heart. Robin and her business partner, Cormoran Strike, become drawn into the quest to uncover Anomie’s true identity. But with a complex web of online aliases, business interests and family conflicts to navigate, Strike and Robin find themselves embroiled in a case that stretches their powers of deduction to the limits – and which threatens them in new and horrifying ways . . .

3. NOUS
The long-awaited novel Christelle mentioned she was inspired to write while still working on the Mirror Visitor, acting as a bridge with Here and Only Here. Not yet available in English as it was released in France only a couple of months ago, but it definitely will be. US is all about the hive mind, an exacerbated collective consciousness denying any individual right — and about the archontic saviour implant rebranded Instinct. It is also a harsh criticism of self-righteousness and abusive religion in all its hypocrisy — a recurring theme also found in the Mirror Visitor with the character of God (can't say any more without spoiling) standing in as the main antagonist and source of chaos.
US is a vintage dystopian fantasy. A return to my first love, drawing you into a world with its own set of rules, its own possibilities, its own restrictions, and good old-fashioned battery-operated walkmans. The humans in US are not very far apart from us with one considerable difference: everyone has an Instinct serving the community. US is also, and above all, the story of Claire, an over-secretive confidante and Goliath, a reckless daredevil protector, including many other destinies interlacing with theirs. And in US, everything's perfect. Is everything perfect?
Stephenie Meyer appears to have a problem: she can't seem to bounce back from the phenomenal success of her Twilight saga and keeps coming back to it. First with Life and Death on the 10th anniversary of Twilight, in 2015, where Bella becomes Beau and Edward becomes Edith. Then in 2020, with Midnight Sun, where the story is told from the point of view of Edward, the vampire. For the record, she began writing this version in 2008 and stopped after the first twelve chapters were leaked on the Internet. It took a petition signed by hundreds of thousands of people for her to finally decide, a decade later, to resume her work on the manuscript. I have to admit that I was particularly curious about the exercise in style. Although similar in all points, the story is much longer since Edward analyses everything. Having chosen the audio version to test my new e-reader, it was a quite different experience for me anyway.
This unforgettable tale as told through Edward’s eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting beautiful, mysterious Bella is both the most intriguing and unnerving event he has experienced in his long life as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward’s past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he let himself fall in love with Bella when he knows that he is endangering her life?

5. Sputnik Sweetheart
A rather strange and disconcerting novel, chosen at random on Rudy's recommendation of this author. Murakami likes to draw his readers into a world where the boundary between what's real and what's supernatural is so tenuous they lose all their bearings. The title, that largely influenced my choice, refers to the first artificial satellite launched by the USSR in 1957, meaning ‘fellow traveller’ in Russian. For the characters in this impossible love triangle are like satellites gravitating around the object of their desire, moving towards then away but never actually making the connection.
Sumire is in love with a woman seventeen years her senior. But whereas Miu is glamorous and successful, Sumire is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second-hand coat and heavy boots like a character in a Kerouac novel. Sumire spends hours on the phone talking to her best friend K about the big questions in life: what is sexual desire, and should she ever tell Miu how she feels for her? Meanwhile K wonders whether he should confess his own unrequited love for Sumire. Then, a desperate Miu calls from a small Greek island: Sumire has mysteriously vanished...
Imagine our reality is a matrix. An enormous machine powered by the principle of polarities...
Good and evil. Peace and war. Truth and lies. Each concept has an opposite. Like the two sides of a same coin.
In this matrix, it is impossible to separate polarities. All accumulated peace brings its share of conflict. All intensified love generates its share of hatred. Any truth gives rise to lies.
It is a law of balance. A demiurgic game of which no one knows the rules (the famous mysterious ways God works in), where we are... the game pieces... the coins.
The matrix urges us to take sides. Heads or tails. It doesn't matter which. But this choice entraps us. For polarised coins get stuck in the matrix's piggy bank.
So what solution can there be?
Rolling on the edge. Moving forward with balance. Rejecting extremes. And when the time is right, finding the exit through the slim slot, without falling off to one side or the other.
It is a narrow path, but the only way out of this soul trap.
As previously mentioned, 2025 is a benchmark year and a time to take stock. All the more so for La Pensine as over the next 10 days is to begin the New Chinese Year of the Snake, which had also presided over its creation in the summer of 2013.
When I think that, at the time, I was quite hesitant to take the plunge lest I'd run out of ideas and readers! I guess the key lesson here is that fear is a bad advisor and that confidence builds by stepping out of your comfort zone and taking action.
Certainly, should I go back in time and change anything, I would organise my content in a different way right from the outset, thus saving myself the tedious and time-consuming effort of having to index posts and restructure categories later on.
Similarly, if I could do things differently, I would have left the Eklablog platform on its first takeover in 2016 (introducing intrusive advertising) as I had considered at the time. The off-putting copy-pasting process would have been quicker 8 years earlier. On the other hand, I would have missed out on the Eklabugs adventure (an inter-blogger project on Eklablog around themed articles) event though it did not end well.
But, as my late grandma would say, “that would be in a perfect world where anything is possible”.
As for Eklablog, the migration onto Overblog's servers was a disaster as expected, and I have no regrets about relocating to Blogger before the ship sank. Broadly speaking, many bloggers I used to follow eventually closed their account, while others left their blogs as is for lack of motivation, time (and money) to undertake the necessary renovation work. Not to mention the obnoxious behaviour of the staff and of some sycophants on the platform's help forum which now conveniently no longer exists. That's the way it goes. Down the drain.
Otherwise, as some of you may have noticed, I've ‘re-injected’ the old comments published on Eklablog from my backups. It took me hours of copy-pasting (on the French blog), but the satisfaction of feeling at home again is priceless. Doing so took me back to the good old days when a small community of bloggers would visit and comment on each other's blogs.
I also realised just how my beliefs have evolved, even radically changed over the last 12 years or so. You might say the same applies for a lot of people, also and particularly since the Covidian psyop. Personally, after losing myself in my darkest hour, when tough reality hit back, leaving no room for doubt, the clash was quite harsh but much needed. It did hurt. And I'm well aware that it's only the beginning of a long painful process of burning illusions. I am not denying any of my previous stances, but don't be surprised if I now tend to dismiss certain things I used to feel strongly about.
Nobody's perfect, but at least I am being honest and not trying to wipe out any 'evidence' of my 'switcheroo'. Of course, I do know you know I'm not. However, at a time like this, when intellectual shortcuts prevail, it's best to be up-front and as clear as possible right at the outset, even though critics will no doubt deliberately fail to understand. I feel no shame in anything I could have believed or said for, as the saying goes, “only fools never change their minds”. Given that no one can be blamed for what they are not aware of, I'd rather risk losing readers along the way than now consciously leading them down the wrong path of matrix spirituality, whether religious or new-agey.
I am by no means denigrating anyone's beliefs. This is merely a disclaimer warning that my content may be considered offensive to some. Which certainly won't stop proselytisers from cursing and crucifying me for my heretic views (by the way, curses are black magic and crucifixion is akin to human sacrifice). Ironically, I owe a great deal to those 'do-gooders' on theory for pushing so hard it finally clicked. There's nothing like dripping hypocrisy and a good backstabbing to gather your wits and realise that, in the game of polarities, there's no winners when it comes to flipping coins (more about that in an upcoming short video next week).
Today's truth often becomes tomorrow's lies and vice versa. I'll skip the details as you should find out for yourself. Besides, as it happens, you may already have taken a step back from certain things. What is unchanged is the basic intent of regaining our sovereignty. Actually, it's mostly all about putting things back into perspective, where you need not dismiss anything, only shed a new light and act differently.
Knowing that the One cannot exist without the Other. Without the One, there is no Other, and without the Other, the One has no singularity. In a binary system, 0's and 1's are an absolute requisite. Otherwise you get a black screen of death. Simulation over. For the time being, the game of Jumanji is still ongoing.
As promised on New Year's Day, and in keeping with the Holy Cats' oracle, I'm
fulfilling my first Eyaelian task, namely to peer into my crystal ball while
making it sound not too ball-busting for you. So the Ace of Clubs, my special
card for January, stands for ‘a thirst for knowledge or a special talent’
(once again, cross my heart, I had absolutely no idea when I randomly numbered
the cards).
From Pythias to Sibyls
From the Greek pythias to Nostradamus including the three witches in
Macbeth, Professor Trelawney in Harry Potter, and the Precogs in Minority Report, clairvoyance has always been met with a compelling mixture of fascination
and awe, to the point where it has become a weapon of control.
A contemporary example would be the Palantir (also known as the ‘seeing
stone’) imagined by J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings and
The Simarillion — some kind of crystal ball enabling its user to
see places far off, or events in the past which made it possible for Sauron to
manipulate and corrupt the mind of magician Saruman. Palentir is now the name
of a software company used by the NSA and the intelligence services of several
countries to supposedly track down terrorists.
No wonder religions rushed to ban all forms of divination in order to impose
the visions of their respective Holy Textbooks, which still serve as
justifications for all the genocides perpetrated on this planet in the name of
a 'merciful' God. Not to mention the countless self-fulfilling prophecies
including those in the process of becoming so through the law of
correspondence (we attract what we believe for vibration precedes
crystallisation).
“The reading of horoscopes, astrology, palmistry, the interpretation of
omens and spells, clairvoyance phenomena and resorting to psychics all
conceal a will-to-power over time, history and ultimately mankind, as well
as a desire to appease the hidden powers. They are incompatible with the
awe-inspiring love, honour and respect we owe to God alone.”
Gosh !
By the Middle Ages, the stars became the preferred medium for clairvoyance.
“According to the Christian theory of the time, the stars were actually
disks behind which angels or cherubs were concealed, and their movements
were regarded as signs. The heavens were therefore organised into
constellations, and the years into zodiacal periods, making it possible to
determine the horoscope by means of clever calculations.”
The Lord of the Rings
And what is the horoscope (from the ancient Greek hora, ‘time’ and
skopos, ‘observation’ and ‘scope’) beyond our astral programming
(chart) on the Saturnian time loop? Saturn, whose glyph is that of the scythe
of his Greek counterpart, the titan Cronus, with which the latter emasculated
his father Ouranos (Uranus) and subsequently devoured all his children except
Zeus (Jupiter) so as not to have his throne usurped. Incidentally, the image
of Death and the Grim Reaper was inspired by god Saturn, a hunching old man,
wearing a cloak and holding a sickle.
In the Tarot, Saturn (the eponymous planet — the largest in our solar system
after Jupiter) is represented by the 21th arcana of the World. Its occult
symbol is a cube (the famous monolith in Stanley Kubrick's
2001: A Space Odyssey). And what does an unfolded cube look like? Let's figure it out for yourself
(or click on the image opposite to find out).
In this world, all is made of symbols and codes. It was designed that way.
There is nothing clearer than a symbol worth a million words. If individuals
cannot read signs and symbols, which are the language of the Universe, it's
because the planetary soul is unable to do so,. This deficiency is the
consequence of the experimental demerging resulting in the soul being
immersed into ignorance and confusion after its disconnection from the
spirit. [...] Everything is clearly visible, but the planetary soul has
blinkers on.
Iso V. Sinclair
Saturn (of which Satan is the ruler) governs Capricorn (the goat), which is
assimilated to the 15th arcana of the Devil, representing everything that
enchains us to matter, as well as to Aquarius (the water bearer, symbol of the
astral) and the 17th arcana of the Star. It's only since modern times that
astrologers have attributed the co-regency of the latter sign to Uranus “personifying the starry heavens and the demiurgic spirit". But it is also the sign of technology, AI and transhumanism (the glyph of
Uranus bears an uncanny resemblance to a 5G antenna). The famous Age of
Aquarius and 5D Ascension are nothing more than a call for (vital) consent to
an improved version (not in favour of humanity) of our actual matrix jail.
In astrology, Saturn stands for (but is not limited to) structure, authority,
discipline, restrictions, limitations, austerity, frustration, lack and
infertility. Ancient astrologers used to regard it as the Great Evil and call
it the Lord of Karma. Just like lead, its associated metal, the great taciturn
is as cold as its ice rings and excels at spoiling fun. In a person's birth
chart, it is also the significator of the father.
Don't Freak Out and Don't Lose it
As mentioned earlier, 2025 began with a new moon on 30th December, in false
(tropical) Capricorn, the sign ruled by Saturn, and in true (sidereal)
Sagittarius, the sign of Jupiter, which began its second test of strength with
Saturn on Christmas Eve — the first took place on 19th August, heralding the
‘official’ recession according to French astrologer
Valérie Lagrifoul. “Budget policies are getting tougher under the guise of climate (and/or
epidemic or Russian) disasters; issues resulting in population displacement,
desertification, environmental catastrophes... All this spelling the end of
any growth expectancy. Production and consumption are being drastically held
back, creating a domino effect in already sensitive areas… a system failure
that should take months to resolve.”
The new year therefore begins under a great deal of tension. On 3rd November,
Mars retrograde had its first clash with Pluto on the Cancer-Capricorn axis,
and just did it again on 3rd January.
Mars in Cancer seeks comfort in the familiar, often preferring the toxic
over the unsettling unknown, and typically reacts rather than thoughtfully
responds. […] Pluto in Capricorn transforms and dismantles the obsolete.
Conversely, it may reveal itself as a shadowy desire for dominance,
embodying an authoritarian “father knows best” mentality. [...] Pluto
represents endings, while Mars embodies energy and drive. This opposition
may lead to intense situations that feel like a battle for survival, where
power dynamics escalate and the only path forward seems to be through
decisive separation. (source)
For Valérie Lagrifoul, this opposition should give the chills to many. “Soon we should have information on child trafficking networks and even more
atrocities featuring extermination, violence against children and much more
sordid matters”, she adds.
However, any significant changes are likely to take place from April onward,
when slow planets and karmic points change signs:
04/01/25: Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
04/15/25: North Node in Aquarius
04/25/25: Saturn in Pisces
05/17/25: Uranus in Taurus
05/29/25: Jupiter in Gemini
On 27th April, Mars returns to Cancer and opposes Pluto for the third time,
while the 4th of May marks Uranus' last transit over demon star Algol, which
had presided over the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
The Final Chapter
Numerology-wise, 2025 is a universal year 9 (2+0+2+5), marking the end of a
nine-year cycle that began in 2017 (2+0+1+7=10=1+0=1). But before we close
this chapter, there's still a lot of work to do, and that's exactly what's in
store for us this year.
As a reminder, here are the most significant world events of 2017 in my
opinion:
01/20/17: Inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the USA
03/29/17: The Brexit is officially implemented (started in a year 9)
05/07/17: Emmanuel Macron is the new elected President of France
07/05/17: Elon Musk buys the X.com domain name back from PayPal
09/13/17: The IOC approves Paris' bid to host the 2024 Olympic Games
10/05/17: Accusations of sexual harassment against Harvey Weinstein
12/06/17: Donald Trump recognises Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel
A year of closure and assessment which, like its counterpart the Hermit of the
Tarot, encourages introspection, patience and resilience. With the urge
of Pluto in Capricorn and the new Saturn-Neptune cycle in Pisces starting by
mid-spring (the first conjunction in 323 years to occur in the sign of
Neptune), we certainly should have a lot to purge before we're ready to begin
a new chapter in 2026.
According to French astrologer
Lune-Soleil, ”The Saturn-Neptune conjunction reforms every 35 years. It is related to
mass movements, collective revolutionary thrusts such as Communism and the
Russian revolution in 1917. The penultimate conjunction took place in Libra,
in 1952/1953, and the last one, in 1989/1990, marked the collapse of
Communism.” Not a very happy planetary combination, given that the essence of the two
planets is fundamentally different. “On the one hand, we are in the presence of limitation, structure and
rationality... and on the other, we are dealing with excess, intuition and
irrationality”, she pursues.
The danger with Neptune in its own sign, especially when Saturn squares
Jupiter (the traditional ruler of Pisces) for the third time on 15th June, is
to lack discernment and repeat the same mistakes. Let's not forget that with
the North Node in Aquarius, the matrix programme invites us to let go of our
sovereignty (South Node in Leo) over an illusion of community.
During the Year of the Snake, as we'll see by the end of this month, there's a
higher risk of getting scammed and outsmarted. A favourable climate for dirty
tricks, treachery, military coups, insider trading violations, etc., calling
for caution.
In addition, the Hermit, symbolising 2025, is assimilated to Virgo, with the
opposite values to those of Pisces. So, take heed of any delusion and
misplaced hopes; of dangerous plebiscites only meant to obtain the consent of
as many people as possible. What is true today won't necessarily be so
tomorrow and vice versa.
May the Odds Be With You
Let's be honest — as I don't think sticking our heads in the sand of La La
Land and focusing only on the positive (which is just playing the game of
polarities and therefore of the matrix) is going to help in any way — 2025
promises to be a year of break in every sense of the word. We let go off the
superficial and fabricated dreams to refocus on ourselves, which in no way
refrains empathy. While toxic self-righteous wokers may call you selfish, let
them bray! No one can give others what they are incapable of giving themselves
period.
People and circumstances may try to keep you from fulfilling your ambitions,
but these forces will only succeed if you’re holding on to old ideas,
sympathies and concepts that can be exploited. Nine is the number of letting
go – release whatever is holding you back! The things that anchor you in the
past can include doubts about your capabilities, mistrust of the world, or
worries about people, places and things that you have toxic attachments to.
All of these drain your energy and make it difficult to pull yourself
together to move forward. But these things are not you. When the spirit
moves you, you don’t need to carry any baggage. (source)
To conclude on a more optimistic note, the last quarter of 2025 should bring
some solace, with a fine planetary pattern of soft aspects between all three
generational planets, namely Neptune, Uranus and Pluto (as well as a temporary
cease-fire between Jupiter and Saturn). Time for a breather.
As we begin this new year 2025, I would like to review a well-known concept in
occult circles:
How the First 12 Days Impact the Next 12 Months
In esoteric traditions, these 12 days are regarded as an energy overview of
the whole year.
Each day acts as a blueprint for the corresponding month, where your thoughts,
reactions and emotions set out the guidelines for the whole year.
For the archontic matrix affecting the demiurgic calendar, these days are a
great time to capture and encode your frequencies.
Like a child who has their horoscope cast at birth, the program of the new
year is 'strengthened’ in accordance with what you give off during these early
days.
For instance, the 1st of January corresponds to January; the 2nd of
January to February, and so on until the 12th of January, which stands
for December.
Of course, you need to oppose your thoughts, keep a clear head and be
observant any day of the year, but this period requires extra vigilance and a
more sustained mental discipline.
What you give off has a vibratory impact.
It is a powerful opportunity to break free from the zodiac cycles of the
Archons and tune the coming year to your own frequency (especially if you're
in an unfriendly year).
How Do You Do That?
Pay attention to your thoughts, emotions and reactions on a daily basis and
filter them with lucidity.
Remain completely neutral in your mind and maintain an overall
well-being.
Use these days to lay a solid foundation in line with your depolarised
decisions, in order to tune the upcoming months off the astral programming.
Every minute is an opportunity to take back your systemic sovereignty over
your reality.
Make this year 2025 a space where YOUR frequency, and NOT the one imposed by
the matrix, dictates your path.
“Nothing changes on New Year's Day” used to sing he who recently promised to throw himself off a cliff1, only to get his knickers in a knot before running for the hills just like all the other bloodified from the NWO. Nothing changes except the calendar.
As for the rest, we're off for another round of Roundabout, with the usual mumbo jumbo of traditional bloopers (although given the current level, the MSM may not have much to show that we haven't seen yet); of Pinocchio wishes (be careful not to hurt your eyes on this peak, forsooth, this peninsula that would make poor Cyrano speechless); of damned resolutions and sheepish suckers always kicking into the long grass.
Actually, the term 'calendar' is taken from Latin calendarium ('account book'), derived from calendae ('calends'), which means 'called out'. The Roman calends marked the first days of each new moon when debtors had to pay their debts. The Greeks never had calends, so I'll leave you to your own deductions (cross my heart, the pun was unintended). A very accommodating calendar indeed, with additional intercalary months, amended by priests in order to extend or shorten, as they saw fit, the period of rule of some consuls.
And guess what: 2025 begins with a New Moon (calend) in false Capricorn (tropical zodiac) and true Sagittarius (sidereal zodiac). In other words, an ultimate pitch-black night with Jupiter, ruler of this lunation, having just begun its second tug-of-war with Saturn on Christmas Eve. But we'll get back to this in a forthcoming post as part of the 12 Labours of Eyael.
The idea occurred to me while playing around with some funny filters on my phone. Twelve themed portraits for each month of the year. It appears that my feeling of nostalgia over the late Project Eklabugs2 may also have a lot to do with it. Although, this time, it'll be different as I'll be up and at it on my own. No jacks, but lots of diamonds in my spread as they're a girl's best friends. Diamonds are the equivalent of wands in traditional tarot and stand for, among other things, initiative and change. I never planned anything. I just went with the flow. Only I and no AI. Although I wouldn't mind like-minded bloggers to join me in my monthly diatribes.
Enjoy the odyssey!
