In an age of AI, automation, and digital fatigue, realness is the new baseline. Amar Marouf explores how presence—not polish—is reshaping influence.

We’re told the world is more connected than ever. Information flows instantly, borders blur, and ideas travel faster than thought. But here’s the question: Has connection made us any closer? When everything is within reach, why do we still feel so far apart?

As soon as March 30th, the veil shifts, and with it, the collective attitude begins to turn. Dreams dissolve into action, ideals meet fire. Watch how the world starts to move differently—what felt distant becomes urgent.

2025 unfolds as a year ruled by Mars ♂ — a test of endurance, a trial of perseverance. It calls for an unshakable belief in your own boundless potential, even if the path ahead demands solitude. Enter this year as though you can conquer the impossible, for even alone, you are enough.
