Why We Love a Good Conspiracy Theory
GTG: Articles

Humans are wired to find patterns even when none exist. Our brains crave meaning, reward us with dopamine when we “connect the dots,” and prefer tidy stories over uncertainty. That’s why conspiracy theories feel so satisfying. Conspiracies simplify chaos, assign villains, and affirm belonging. But when we seek certainty over evidence, our detective minds turn into storytellers. Real wisdom lies not in rejecting patterns, but in questioning them by asking, “What else could be true?”

We humans spend much of life keeping uncertainty at bay through habits, biases, and identities that steady us. Yet, uncertainty is not just a threat, it’s also an opening. The brain’s prediction errors make us vigilant, but they also prime us for learning. By cultivating identity complexity, humility, and curiosity, we transform uncertainty from something to fear into an invitation to grow, connect, and imagine new possibilities.

The Scorpio New Moon brings powerful emotional tides, urging honesty, release, and transformation. With Uranus shaking loose old foundations and water signs amplifying sensitivity, this is a moment to discern truth from comfort. Let go of what can’t come with you. Choose communities rooted in integrity over conformity. When revelation arrives, it may be uncomfortable—but it’s real. And in Scorpio season, reality is sacred.

Taurus Full Moon 11/5/25

The Taurus Full Moon reminds us to slow down, ground, and return to what is real. As retrogrades pull us inward, we’re invited to reassess our values, integrity, and what we truly stand on when no one is watching. Taurus teaches that real stability isn’t about resisting change but being rooted enough to meet it consciously. Like the Earth itself, our strength comes from patience, presence, and trust in the process. In weathering the storm, we rediscover what endures. That’s where our becoming begins.
