Hello Beautiful Ones,
This is a big week – for each of us and the collective.
Tomorrow is an eclipse that many astrologers are saying will be the most significant of the four eclipses that will happen in 2026.
And shortly after, we’ll be experiencing the most anticipated transit of the year: Saturn conjunct Neptune.
In this newsletter, I’m breaking it down and bringing in some tarot-related wisdom so you can work consciously with this exciting and rare cosmic medicine that has the power to take us into new understandings and new ways of being.
New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius Energy ♒🏺🌑☀️
(You can read my deeper dive on working with eclipse energy in this previous post)
Eclipse seasons are accelerators of endings and beginnings. They offer course corrections — whether we feel ready or not.
The first eclipse of 2026 arrives with the Aquarius new moon on Tuesday, February 17 at 4:17am PT.
Many astrologers (like Pam Gregory and Molly McCord) are referring to this eclipse as a significant choice point for both individuals and the collective.
This won’t necessarily be the kind of choice where you declare: I’m moving in this direction.
It will likely be more subtle, and beyond words, making it important for you to notice instead: what is your vibration communicating to the universe about what you want more of in this next cycle?
What’s Your Vibration?
You may have heard of the Hawkins Chart or Map of Consciousness — a scale of emotional states ranging from survival-driven to soul-aligned. It suggests that our internal state, our vibration, shapes how we perceive pur reality.
Though not scientifically validated, this chart is widely used in spiritual and personal transformation communities to better understand how our emotions are affecting our energy and lived experience.
If this all sounds too “out there” for you, that’s okay. But I invite you to consider how your inner voice and even your body respond to the logic of this chart.
And ask yourself, when you observe your emotional state honestly, are you operating from survival strategies, or from a place of personal power?
The objective of this chart is to show that when you can make a choice to shift your paradigm, emotions, or state of mind, you have an opportunity to raise your vibration and improve your experience of reality.
This isn’t meant to bypass emotions like grief and anger. In fact, Hawkins said suppressing these emotions is the fastest way to descend the scale.
Instead, it’s the act of processing these emotions in a constructive way that allows you shift your energy to a higher frequency.
For instance, if you feel anger, perhaps a boundary was crossed. You have choices here. You can attack — which keeps you in anger — or you can set a clear boundary, which shifts you toward higher vibrations of courage and self-trust.
So over the coming days of eclipse energies in our fields, notice your thoughts and actions. Are you operating from a place of fear, shame, guilt, or apathy? Or are you cultivating feelings of gratitude, love, and peace?
And if you want to shift into higher frequencies, you can ask yourself these 3 simple questions to begin to change your vibration:
What am I feeling?
What is this emotion trying to show me?
What wants to change?
The Collective Chrysalis
Admittedly over the past couple of weeks, I’ve felt waves of anger and outrage as painful truths surface in our world. I’m not suppressing those feelings. But I am spending more time in stillness — breathing, listening.
Because in that quiet, a message keeps returning to me:
This time is holy.
It turns out, holy doesn’t always mean peaceful. Holy means there is a sacred alignment occurring.
An alignment that couldn’t occur until what was hidden, is revealed.
An alignment that won’t happen overnight.
Similar to the caterpillar in the chrysalis, where it appears to dissolve into a gooey mess, a complete undoing of what it once was.
But in that goo of dissolution is its potential for becoming one of the most beautiful creatures on this planet.
That goo phase is holy. And that’s exactly where we’re at, individually and collectively.
We have the potential to become something much more beautiful that we can even understand at this moment.
Revisiting the Hanged One
The image of the tarot’s Hanged One has come to mind several times over the past week. Like the caterpillar in the chrysalis, this figure also hangs upside down, experiencing his own holy alignment with a higher vibration of himself.
The Hanged One (see original posts) reminds us that in order to align with our soul’s journey, sacrifices must be made. Whatever we’ve become attached to – a way of being, a belief, an emotion – needs to be relinquished if we are to become more whole and aligned with our divine path.
For the figure in the card, they have released pride, as they hang there, vulnerably. And yet there’s not a sense of powerlessness, but holiness as we see in the halo around his head.
Because transcendence doesn’t come from control. It comes from acceptance.
Working With This Eclipse
This eclipse isn’t asking you to push forward — it’s asking you to pause. To feel. To tune in.
Like the Hanged One, your power right now is not in trying to force or control anything… but in trusting a new perspective, an awakening.
Honor what arises. Listen to what your emotions are revealing. Release what you’re ready to outgrow.
Trust that what is dissolving is making space for what is becoming.
And that what is becoming, is better than you could even imagine.
The Great Saturn-Neptune Conjunction
This theme of surrender and transformation is echoed in the greatly anticipated Saturn–Neptune conjunction, arriving just three days after the eclipse, at 0° Aries — the very beginning of the zodiac on February 20th.
This is a rare cosmic threshold — the closing of one great cycle and the ignition of another. Both planets have just left Pisces, the final sign, and now meet at the very first.
The last time this conjunction occurred at this degree point was over 6,000 years ago!1
So what can we expect?
Aries is the sign of the self. Neptune is the planet of dissolution.
During its 14 year journey in Aries, Neptune will begin dissolving false identities — conditioning, limiting beliefs, inherited emotional patterns — roles we thought were us.
This could feel pretty disorienting and destabilizing.
Because what’s dissolving are parts of us that we believed were our identity.
It’s the chrysalis stage again.
The sacred unraveling.
But here’s the gift: Saturn is present.
Saturn brings structure, boundaries, and form. So while Neptune dissolves what isn’t true, Saturn helps us build what is. Together, they create a rare partnership between spirit and reality — dissolving illusion while grounding truth.
Though this profound evolution will happen over time, these planets will remain closely aligned for months, amplifying this process.
So how do you work with this energy?
Again, by embodying the medicine of the Hanged One – the tarot card that represents Neptunian energy!
This reinforces your invitation into stillness. Into surrender. And tuning in, perhaps to parts of you that you didn’t know were there.
Let yourself release what is falling away.
Let yourself become what is emerging.
Remember:
This is a holy time.
You are not losing yourself.
You are losing what was never truly you.
