Hello everyone,
I want to thank each one of you who read my last newsletter and donated to one of the organizations I listed. Every little bit helps, and the need is growing as the occupation continues. 700 agents may have left the Twin Cities, but the reign of terror continues, and it appears to continue well into the spring. At the end of this newsletter, I have included another trusted way to donate.
The heavens indicate that we are at a major crossroads. As of January 27, 2026, Neptune moved into Aries and will be joined there by Saturn on February 15, 2026, at zero degrees Aries. This is major indication of new beginnings in multiple ways. The zero degree of any zodiac sign represents a fresh start, out with the old and in with new. Zero degrees is where an energy expresses in the most clear and pure way.
Aries aligns with the spring equinox, another symbol of new life, and is the first cardinal fire sign in the zodiac. Cardinal energy thrives on change and Aries is an advocate, an activist and fighter. This particular planetary pair, Saturn and Neptune haven’t joined together at zero Aries since 7000 BC which was roughly understood to align with the beginning of agriculture. When two outer planets conjunct, (which these do roughly every 36 years) they represent an inflection or turning point. When they connect at the exact beginning of the zodiac, they indicate a major new beginning.
For those of you who were born around the 21st of March, June, September, and December, this year will plant the seeds for long lasting change. Changes in identity, sense of purpose and overall awareness are on the horizon.
Two days after this major conjunction, on February 17, 2026, there will be a new moon Solar Eclipse at 28 degrees of Aquarius. Solar eclipses are associated with major shift on a collective level, and events that bring new beginnings because they shine light on the darkness.
This eclipse falls one degree away from the Moon in the chart of the US. Both the sign of Aquarius, and the planet Uranus, which is square the eclipse, represent revolution and the need to shatter brittle, old, repressive systems. Aquarius is symbolized by the water-bearer; an image of water that is poured out to the world as it is constantly replenished, representing both abundance and interconnection.
This eclipse also activates the asteroid Pallas Athena, the “warrior queen” archetype in the chart of the US. In Greek mythology Pallas was born from her father Zeus’ headache, fully grown and dressed for battle. Throughout her many myths she primarily won her battles by outsmarting her enemies. She is a master at creating winning strategies. This eclipse is most active through the middle of March 2026 when we will continue to see new forms of protest and interventions all over the country.
Together, these planetary events suggest that “power to the people” is on the rise and that seeds are being planted so that we will indeed prevail in our fight for democracy. (It will be a long fight.)
Another way to help:
Shir Tikvah, a community in the Twin Cities, is moving tens of thousands of dollars directly to families facing housing instability and harm due to the occupation by ICE, and the need is overwhelming. Their most recent release of $50,000 was fully claimed in just 7 minutes. If you’re able, please give to the Yesod Fund to help meet urgent, real-time needs.
This is direct aid, moving fast, when it matters most: yesodfund.org.”
