The first full moon of May. Full bloom.

Scorpio inhabits spaces of exchange. Secretive, but always moving toward disclosure.

There’s something of the private eye in it — operating outside the law, but in the name of the law. Strategy, control, the long read on what’s actually circulating.

Generational wealth / poverty. What gets passed down, and what gets restructured.

The last sliver before the dark. The cycle almost spent, still moving, not yet released.

Gemini holds two languages at once.

The accent kept on purpose.

You don't wait for the target to stop. You release anyway.
