When the mind won’t let the body rest
Gemini season has opinions. Your nervous system does too.
Gemini season is restless by nature. Quick thoughts, rapid connections, ideas sprinting ahead of your capacity.
But the sky this week has a weird little twist: the mind is fast, the body is slow, and the mismatch creates static.
Instead of forcing yourself to “keep up,” let’s create a bridge between the two.
✨ SPELL
Even when the moon isn’t new or full, we don’t have to wait for a “special” sky to practice reclaiming ourselves.
Ritual isn’t about the calendar—it’s about interrupting the grind, reorienting to what matters, and reminding yourself you’re not just here to produce.
Here’s a ritual for this week, aligned with the current zodiacal season. Minimal supplies. Maximum reclamation.
The Unknotting Ritual
Supplies:
A long string, ribbon, or shoelace
Steps:
Tie one loose knot in the string.
Hold it in both hands.
Say aloud what’s feeling tangled or overcomplicated right now.
Slowly untie the knot while saying: I release the complexity.
Place the untied string somewhere visible for 24 hours.
This signals to your body that unraveling doesn’t require urgency. Just permission.
✊ HEX
You don’t need a rundown of the headlines. You’re living them. Whether you’re in the U.S. or just suffering under its ripple effects, the harm is real—and relentless.
This isn’t catharsis. It’s counter-spell.
Each HEX is a ritual of refusal—a channel for holy rage, spiritual disruption, and deliberate, directed dissent.
Here’s who we’re targeting. And what to do about it.
The Math Isn't Complicated. The Corruption Is.
Let's do some accounting.
We cannot, apparently, forgive student loans. We cannot fund housing for the unhoused. We cannot maintain the safety net programs that keep people fed, medicated, and alive. We cannot, according to the people currently running this government, afford the basic infrastructure of a functioning society.
But we can afford war.
And we can afford to reward sedition.
This week, the Department of Justice announced the creation of a $1.776 billion fund (it’s SUCH a cute-and-not-at-all-subtle Founding-era reference). The purpose of this deliberate and grotesque dollar amount is to compensate people who claim they were unfairly targeted by the government. In practice, this means the January 6 defendants. The people who stormed the Capitol. The people who attacked police officers (which is confusing to me because these are the people who supposedly back the blue). The people who smashed windows, erected gallows, and chanted about hanging the Vice President.
They already received sweeping pardons. Now they're getting a fund.
The money comes from a lawsuit Trump filed against the IRS. A lawsuit in which Trump was effectively suing himself, since he is both the plaintiff and the president overseeing the agency he sued. The judge on the case was about to scrutinize the conflict of interest when the settlement was announced. She dismissed the case afterward and publicly criticized the DOJ for not filing documents that would have ensured the settlement was appropriate.
A sitting president sued the government he runs, settled with himself, and created a nearly $2 billion fund with taxpayer money to reward the people who tried to violently overturn the results of a democratic election.
Two Capitol police officers — the ones who actually defended the building that day, whose bodies paid the price for that insurrection — are now suing to block the fund. They called it "the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century."
They're not wrong.
And here's the detail that should stop you cold:
The fund stops processing claims on December 1, 2028. More than a month before the next president is inaugurated. Right on the other side of the next election.
That timing is not administrative convenience. It is a message.
Months before this fund was even announced, a Trump DOJ official was privately telling Republican allies that the Capitol rioters would get their money… even if it took until 2028. NBC News reported this week that it was discussed over breakfast at an upscale Washington hotel. It was planned. It was promised.
Which means this fund is not only protection for what happened on January 6, 2021.
It is an insurance policy for what could happen in November 2026. It is an incentive structure for 2028.
If the elections don't go their way, if the courts don't go their way, the people willing to act on that will now know, in advance, that there is a nearly $2 billion taxpayer-funded pool waiting for anyone who claims they were wrongly targeted.
We are not speculating about a slippery slope. We are reading the blueprint they handed us. The fund closes right after the next election. The official promised the money before the fund existed. The math is not subtle.
This is not just rewarding sedition. This is financing the next attempt.
Meanwhile, the United States military captured the head of state of Venezuela in January without congressional authorization, without notifying lawmakers in advance, and brought him to a federal courthouse in New York. Since then, Trump has threatened Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Iran, and Greenland. Congress has voted twice to limit his military authority. Both times it failed.
We are arresting foreign heads of state and threatening sovereign nations without a declaration of war, without congressional approval, and without international coordination.
But the Epstein files remain sealed. The network remains unnamed. The accountability remains nonexistent.
So let's name the pattern clearly:
This government can find money for war. It can find money for sedition. It can find authority to capture foreign leaders. It can find the will to threaten sovereign nations.
What it cannot find, what it has never been able to find under this administration and the ideological movement behind it, is the will to use power on behalf of the people it was elected to serve.
Because that was never the point.
Power, in a hierarchical system, does not exist to serve the vulnerable. It exists to protect and expand itself.
Student loans remain. Housing remains out of reach. The insurrectionists got pardoned and then funded. The heads of state who inconvenience us get arrested. The powerful men connected to a child sexual abuse network remain untouched.
This is not inconsistency. This is the system working exactly as designed.
So today we hex the whole accounting.
We hex a government that finds billions for sedition and nothing for survival. We hex the fund that turns taxpayer money into a reward for the people who tried to end democracy, and an incentive for the people who might try again. We hex the wars that don't require congressional approval when the target is convenient. We hex the selective justice that reaches across international borders for some and cannot seem to find its way to the men in the Epstein files. We hex the hierarchy that decides whose crimes are punishable and whose are fundable. We hex the blueprint they handed us and expected us not to read.
And we name what a government organized around care would look like instead:
One that measures its budget by what it does for the most vulnerable. One that cannot find $1.776 billion for insurrectionists while children go hungry. One that applies the law with consistency rather than loyalty. One whose power flows toward the people, not away from them. One that does not finance its own future coups with taxpayer money.
The math isn't complicated. The corruption is.
And we are not pretending otherwise.
🔥 On Selective Justice
Justice that only applies to some people isn't justice. It's enforcement of the hierarchy. Name it accordingly.
📞 Action
Call your senators and demand they support the Capitol police officers' lawsuit and oppose the Anti-Weaponization Fund. The number is 202-224-3121. (Yes, in this instance, I’m encouraging you to support the cops. We’re in weird times.)
Demand your representatives bring a war powers resolution to a vote. Congress has not authorized military force against Venezuela or any other nation that Trump has threatened.
In your corner always,

PS: Mercury retrograde is coming. You can feel the edges already.
Inside Project Reclamation, we’ll move through it with pacing, care, and tools that don’t force your nervous system to sprint.
