New Moon, Hidden Truths, and the Pope’s Decline—What’s Being Revealed?

The universe is holding up a mirror, are you ready to see the truth before the eclipse forces it?

On February 27, a new lunar cycle begins, and while every New Moon carries its own energetic signature, this one comes with undeniable intensity.

This particular New Moon falls in the Temple of Illumination—a place the ancients knew as a gateway to revelation, where deception crumbles, and karmic debts demand repayment. It is a space where hidden truths rise to the surface, whether we’re ready or not. This lunation invites you to see what has been concealed and face what has been ignored, not as a punishment, but as an opportunity.

Yes, it may be uncomfortable. But it is also a gift.

What is revealed now can soften the impact of the six-month cycle that will be set in motion by next month’s eclipse.

When the Moon enters the Temple of Illumination, it’s as if the universe is holding up a mirror and saying:

“You can choose to see it gently now… or next month, you’ll be forced to see and unable to look away for six months. What do you choose?”

This lunation isn’t soft or subtle. It is a final chance before the eclipse, when the consequences of what we refuse to acknowledge will come crashing down. The energy at play here magnifies distortions and revelations, creating a razor-thin line between illusion and reality. If something in your life has felt murky, out of place, or just plain off—trust that instinct. The facade is about to shatter.

What This Means in Real Terms:

Secrets will be exposed. Whether in personal relationships, institutions, or global affairs, the truth is clawing its way to the surface.

Karmic cycles are hitting a critical point. People and situations repeating? That’s not coincidence. That’s unfinished business demanding resolution.

You have a choice. Align with what’s real now, or be swept up in the storm when the eclipse forces the reckoning.

If you look around, the signs are already here.

Take the headlines about Pope Francis—pneumonia, kidney failure, and a sudden decline in health.

Through the lens of Holomorphic Therapy®, these ailments strongly suggest an unresolved territorial conflict rooted in fear, a perceived threat to one’s domain or authority. Pneumonia often manifests when an active emotional conflict is underway, signaling a deep distress around security or control. Kidney failure, in particular, speaks to the fear of losing power, autonomy, or one’s place in the world.

When you combine this with the vacuum that will be created right after the eclipse when there is no fire or air (leadership) in the mundane chart. Plus the astrological energy building around revelations, the tearing down of old structures, and shifts in power, it’s not hard to imagine a scenario where something about the Catholic Church may soon be exposed, something that leads to its unraveling or a major change in leadership.

Whatever it is, the truth will come to light within the next few months, whether in global institutions or within your own life.

But this isn’t just about the Church, or politics, or global affairs.

This is happening in your life, too.

This New Moon offers a powerful opportunity to gain clarity and consciously align with the unfolding energies rather than be caught off guard by the eclipse.

Instead of resisting, lean in. Set your intention to see what you need to see, no matter how uncomfortable. The more you embrace this moment with awareness, the less disruptive the coming shifts will be. Truth will rise, cycles will reach their breaking point, and what is hidden will no longer stay buried. The choice is yours: acknowledge what is surfacing now, or face it with no escape when the eclipse forces its hand.
