I’m Gemini. I got snared into being the conduit between a big corporation and rural African farmers for the exact dates of Pluto in Capricorn. It’s been very hard work, and not a livelihood I wanted, TBH. But I’ve learned a lot and have been able to push the powerful to take care of the weak for 20 years. The last few years especially have been a never-ending stream of crises. But for the sake of the farmers, I have been battling it all to keep everything going. Finally ran into a problem I couldn’t solve- Mother Nature and climate change will always have the last word. On November 19, had final discussions with farmers. Today I have final discussions with the corporation. Massive sense of relief to finally be free. The creative side of my brain (which I always valued the most) has shriveled under the weight of doing accounting in three currencies, international logistics, etc.. I’m free of these shackles, but also have zero income starting 2025. Bought a small farm in central Italy this summer with the premonition that things would be changing drastically in my life. I hope to regain my creativity again, writing and art, and work with plants and regenerative my little corner of the world. Wish me luck that some modest livelihood will also be possible too! The future is still a big unknown, but I am walking toward it!
