INSIGHT

Aquarius As The Jewish Mazal

  • Aquarius (Shvat) represents disruption that frees the collective and demands doing what is right rather than merely good.
  • Naomi links Aquarius to Moshe: leaving, returning, and bringing the waters of Torah as collective liberation.
ANECDOTE

From Kabbalistic Art To AstroTorah

  • Naomi traced her path: Sephardi home, Chabad schooling, Kabbalistic art, then AstroTorah platform.
  • She began by embedding astrology in art, then launched AstroTorah to teach astrology and Torah directly.

Tzaddik Frames Shvat's Purpose

  • The letter Tzaddik creates Shvat and signals justice over mere goodness; Shvat demands right action, not just rule-following.
  • Naomi contrasts Capricorn's 'good' (rule-following) with Aquarius' 'just' (sometimes disruptive) orientation.
