This week marks a new chapter.
Today brings our first eclipse of 2026 and the beginning of the Fire Horse Year. Everything is about to move quickly.
There are so many monumental astrological events unfolding right now, it is bound to shake things up in your life.
Today’s eclipse is powerful. It is a ring of fire eclipse in the revolutionary sign of Aquarius. Although it is only visible in Antarctica, its reverberations can be felt around the world.
It feels symbolic that this eclipse is visible in one of the most remote corners of the Earth. Aquarius is known to be “in exile” when the Sun is in this sign. It is the outsider, the visionary, the one who sees what others are not yet ready to see.
We need that kind of vision right now.
In just three days, we will experience one of the most impactful planetary connections of our lifetimes. Saturn, the planet of structure and reality, connects with boundaryless Neptune at zero degrees Aries, the birthplace of the zodiac.
As the foundations of our society feel like they are dissolving like quicksand, this conjunction is imploring us to imagine something better for our collective.
Saturn represents what is tangible and real. Neptune represents dreams and ideals. Together, they ask us to consider what kind of world we are building, and what we are willing to stand for.
And yet, this transition is not easy.
We are in a period of the unknown. Releasing what is no longer sustainable, while stepping into uncharted territory.
