ENCRYPTED SIGNALS IN THE ECLIPTIC INDICATE THE ASCENDENT FINANCIAL SYSTEM LACKS A STABLE FUTURE

This piece opens a dialogue between two esoteric calculation systems: astrology and cryptocurrency. ‘Encrypted Signals in the Ecliptic Indicate the Ascendent Financial System Lacks A Stable Center’ presents an unconventional depiction of Bitcoin’s natal chart where the ascendent line is in constant flux.

Natal charts are typically anchored to a single point in space and time, but applying this convention to decentralized networks like Bitcoin raises complications. Classically, an astrological chart or horoscope is constructed around the time and place of an individual’s birth; financial astrology extends this practice to market commodities by treating companies like individuals. The decentralization of the Bitcoin network poses a unique challenge to this process because its location is not easily represented as a single point in space.
