“Human beings interpret change in different ways—some through logic and evidence, others through intuition, cycles, and symbols. What follows may not resonate with everyone, but for many, the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius offers a compelling lens to understand what’s unfolding in finance, politics, and society. Whether literal or metaphorical, it helps explain why the systems that once felt solid are now crumbling—and why new paradigms, grounded in transparency, empowerment, and collaboration, are taking shape.”
“We are not here to preserve the system—we are here to transform it.”
The world is shifting.
We are living through the dying days of a financial era built on control, opacity, and extraction—and the dawning of a new age rooted in transparency, justice, and empowerment. I believe this shift is not only inevitable—it is necessary. And it’s why I’m proud to announce that I’ve joined the Advisory Group of the Transparency Task Force (TTF), a global movement that shares this vision for systemic change.
🌊 From the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius
For over two millennia, the Age of Pisces has shaped our spiritual and social systems. In financial services, this meant blind trust in institutions, gatekeeping of knowledge, and dependence on intermediaries. It created a top-down model where people handed over their power—and often, their wealth—to opaque structures that promised security but delivered exploitation.
We are now entering the Age of Aquarius, an era that favours self-agency, truth, decentralisation, and conscious collaboration. The structures of the old world are breaking down—not because they failed, but because they no longer serve.
đź’ˇ My Mission: Building Financial Systems That Serve Humanity
Since leaving my senior roles in banking in 2012, I’ve dedicated my life to building a new financial paradigm—one rooted in values, not volume.
Through the Academy of Life Planning, I’ve helped thousands reclaim financial control, align money with purpose, and build holistic wealth—without relying on product sales or conflicted advice.
Our five core initiatives reflect this mission:
- Academy of Life Planning – A professional body for non-intermediating financial planners, now becoming a member-owned co-operative.
- Planning My Life – Empowering individuals to be their own financial planners.
- Financial Life Coach – A values-based, ethical planning service.
- M-POWER Movement – Supporting solopreneurs to build community-led wealth businesses.
- Get SAFE – Providing survivor-led support for victims of financial exploitation.
My values are simple but unshakeable:
- Transparency over tactics
- Empowerment over dependency
- Justice over convenience
- People over profit
🧠Why I Joined the Transparency Task Force Advisory Group
The Transparency Task Force, founded by Andy Agathangelou, has long been a rare beacon of truth in a deeply compromised industry. TTF is a global, collaborative community working to expose systemic failure, advocate for victims, and reform the financial services ecosystem at its root.
By joining the Advisory Group, I aim to support TTF’s mission with:
- Four decades of frontline insight into the industry’s inner workings
- A lived commitment to client-first planning and survivor advocacy
- A strategic perspective rooted in integrity, spiritual alignment, and systems thinking
Together, we are working to dismantle structures that harm and replace them with frameworks that heal, empower, and restore dignity.
đź”— The Road Ahead
We are not here to rescue the old financial world. We are here to birth a new one.
As the Age of Aquarius rises, so too must a new model of finance: one that values wisdom over wealth, purpose over performance, and community over competition.
If you believe, as I do, that financial planning should be a force for good—not a tool for extraction—then I invite you to walk this path with us.
Because we’re not just planning money.
We’re planning lives.
