The symbology of the aesthetic and its accompanying audio, otherworldly and alien (with literal depiction present), is not chance nor is it mere coincidence. It is but another verse sung as part of an astrological prelude, by the tolling bell and its otherworldly herald, welcoming the newfound age.

Even the title itself speaks of the aeon's most precious and fleeting virtue, both its catalyst and abundant gift; Truth. To live or see truly is to live and see in accordance to reality. Thus, the two are interwoven and inseparable. To strive to be real, to return to reality and to uncover the true nature of things beyond the facades and veils of the Old Age such as religious dogmas, political ideologies, consumerism and advertising and the digital hall of mirrors that is social media, is the collective's Zodiacal mission in this aeon.

Now, recount the symbol of the alien displayed and mentioned above and the contemporary rallying cry to pierce the veil:

Aesthetics, Nostalgia & The End of the Piscean Age:

The fascination, even fixation, on aesthetics (such as webcore, Y2Kcore, vapourwave, mallsoft, etc) of nostalgia and idealised imagery evocative of a world that once appeared to still have soul (Such as pre-Y2K for Millennials or the 00s for Gen Z) are the dying gasp of a Piscean aeon. Pisces, sign of dreams and ideals (but also endings), perfectly encapsulates the bittersweetness of nostalgia found in both recollection of 'better times' and idealisation of the past as well as memory and imagination. In terms of the cycle of life, Pisces is also said to represent old age, specifically the time just before death; A life flashing before one's eyes or the soon-to-be departed spending their remaining days in quiet reflection.

'The Noose of Waning Night'

Kodak Charmera

"The collective night succumbs to its death, and dawn rouses from its slumber into life once more."

‘Behold a Pale Horse’

A forked tongue slung,

A facade, a shield

Blown to smithereens

A bunker, a shell

Suddenly cracked apart;

Thy heart shattered

The sword and pen;
