The eclipses are here!
The first eclipse of 2026 will occur on February 17 at 4:01 AM PST and 7:01 AM EST in Aquarius.
This cosmic phenomenon, the annual solar eclipse, is casting a “ring of fire” around the Moon, ushering in a wave of growth that urges us to rise and join the fight to cultivate a better life for everyone. We are all going to take a long, hard look in the mirror to explore how we can bring and navigate justice in these trying times
Aquarius, which is known to be contemplative, talkative, and humanitarian, is going to be activated by Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is a planet known to incite rebellions, protests, and revolutions. It depicts change on a grand scale that must happen to keep up with the progressive times. When it comes together with Aquarius, the sign that Uranus rules, we are going to see immediate action take place globally. The collective is not going to remain quiet anymore. We are making our ideas known and not holding back on our vision for an ideal world. Whether this means standing up for a cause, having peaceful sit-ins, or using our voices on social media, we aren't being silenced anymore.
The same day, Venus and the North Node of Destiny in Pisces collide, transforming the status quo. Venus is known to be a planet that represents society and social graces. Venus is a planet we use to dictate cultural trends and shifts. Therefore, when it connects with the North Node of Destiny moments before the eclipse, we will see that political dynamics or how people feel about situations are altering for the better. Venus in Pisces is known to be more empathetic, sensitive, and intuitively aware of surrounding factors. The alliance with the North Node of Destiny will make the events fateful and part of the cultural metamorphosis we are undergoing.
Unfortunately, Mercury's pre-retrograde zone will weaken the eclipse's effects. But we should be patient, a sentiment that will be difficult to understand because the eclipse occurs at a late degree of Aquarius, promoting a sense of urgency. It's important to note that nothing will happen overnight, but we can start the process now. The revolution is here, and we're all involved in it. Now it's our time to do our part in evolving the world.
