From another page I author …
Aug 7, 2025 - I add “Paradigm Rupture”
Paradigm is a synonym for Episteme.
“Epistemic Rupture”
I had to look up episteme. An interesting word I am challenged to use in a sentence.
[Aug 7, 2025: I come back to add … I prefer to use the word PARADIGM, a synonym for Episteme.
Paradigm Rupture … a longheld dream. Yet I am more content these days to witness the world fooling around in the longstanding paradigm. Shift feels inevitable.]
I have followed Ang Stoic loosely for years.
This report I found very enlightening.
Adds context to my own experience.
I have come to value a couple of astrologists over the years:
Ang Stoic is one of them.

Picked out a few passages that struck me as highly relevant.
“ …a New Moon, therefore, wipes and reformats our hereditary stories under the supervision of the Sun, ruler of conscious will and of Leo itself. Throw in a direct opposition from Pluto and the re‑format feels less like your typical journaling exercise and more like forced encryption: we cannot unsee the corruption of our civic operating system, but we can decide which programmes to salvage, which to delete, and which entirely new code—Uranian, iconoclastic, polyphonic—we dare install. Epistemic trauma, then, is not a mere terminal diagnosis; it is the pre‑dawn tremor before full-scale creative insurgence.
Notice how the outer‑planet timelines correlate with the bullet‑pointed diagnosis of societal breakdown. In the coming months, Saturn–Neptune’s retreat into Pisces will mirror the public swing from righteous outrage into listless escapism, mimicking the “public too overwhelmed, worn out and dishevelled to fight back.” Yet their second ingress into Aries next year ensures that such apathy and escapism are temporary; anger will reignite precisely as those planets regain the Aries Point, triggering a fresh wave of accountability demands. Something is happening now, but only as a precursor. By this time next year, Uranus in Gemini would surely supply the cognitive weaponry—rapid, decentralised, meme‑driven information warfare—answering the need to “reclaim how we know.”
“Will we ever learn the truth about Epstein’s clients, JFK, UFOs, or who is behind the endless wars and atrocities Middle East? Probably not—but perhaps it’s enough to realise the official narratives no longer hold, leaving us free to walk off (en masse) and reclaim our own story.”
[Closing Paragraph - I capitalized some swords for emphasis]
“Getting Our Story Straight (for now)
For the individual navigating this maelstrom, the Leo New Moon [July 24, 2025] offers a ruthless yet invaluable strategy: resist the seductive belief that you alone possess the hidden truths to redeem reality, but speak your own truth with unwavering authenticity; accept that privacy is all but a mirage and choose carefully how you wield the disruptive power of language, understanding each utterance as a potent spell; and engage consciously with Neptune’s dissolving currents—meditation, creativity, and active dream-work, not as escapes, but as tools to process paradox without succumbing to delusion. None of these promises safety or certainty, of course; astrological cycles never do. They map the pressures under which our free will must work. Leo’s gift now is to help us RECLAIM AUTHORITY over NARRATIVE, IDENTITY, and INTEGRITY—boldly DECLARING PERSONAL TRUTHS as the stage sinks beneath us, knowing that every AUTHENTIC voice HASTENS the return of GENUINE COMMUNAL WISDOM. The cosmos is listening closely; your moment to roar has arrived.”
