Pivotal Change
Rockin’ roller coaster chaos,
disorientation, upheaval,
disruptive and surreal.
Wacka-doodle, bonkers, how ever you name it,
Not business as usual.
Wondering what the heck is going on? What’s next? We are far from any clear cut answers. It is a complex and convoluted time. An action packed and confusing mashup of planetary cycles where security is uncertain and anything can happen. What’s next – aliens landing from another planet? Maybe it already seems that way.
Uranus, planet of rebellion, revolution, lightning bolt of change and freedom, in the sign of Taurus since 2018. We’re getting an intensive blast as Uranus made its final Station Direct (after being in retrograde since September 6, 2025) in the first week of February until it enters the sign of Gemini at the end of April. We are directly in the beam of social awareness, agitation and unexpected change.
It can be abrupt.
Situations change in an instant.
Tipping point.
A time of breakthroughs.
Wake up and move on, if that is what you need to do.
“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky.
Conscious breathing is my anchor.” Thich Nhat Hanh
Aquarius Solar Eclipse
February 17, 2026
The eclipse squares Uranus and mega-magnifies the aforementioned themes. Yowza. Solar Eclipses always mark major endings and beginnings in the themes of the houses in which they occur. Surprises! Maybe shocking. Note where in your chart are the houses of Taurus (Uranus) and Aquarius (Solar Eclipse).
Cultivate equilibrium amidst the changes.
“Small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos can shift the whole system to a higher order.” Barbara Marx Hubbard
And sooo much more. So much at once…
Monumental: Saturn conjunct Neptune
February 20, 2026
We had a preview of Saturn in Aries May 24, 2025 until September 1, 2025. Now Saturn freshly in Aries on February 12, will join with Neptune at 0 degrees (The beginning of the zodiacal wheel).
Uncertainty. Unraveling. Aggression. Confusion.
Aries is the fire of courage and we all must embody the Aries fire to initiate a new beginning in our lives. Where is the Aries point in your chart?
Aries is about action; Saturn is concerned about responsibility and moves slowly. Disciplined action for the win!
Saturn is about goals for the future; Aries is all about impulse. Tension in this pairing.
Saturn defines boundaries, Neptune dissolves boundaries. Give form to new dreams.
Neptune brings dreams, Saturn demands commitment. For some, it’s time to grow up.
Saturn Neptune Seeds of Inquiry
Saturn is the reality check for Neptune’s musing.
What will it take to bring my dreams and visions into form?
Saturn traveled through Aries April 1996 – March 1999.
What challenges did I face during that time?
What did I resolve or complete?
Where am I headed now in this area of life?
The Saturn Neptune cycle is a 36ish year cycle. For those born in 1989 or 1953 (previous conjunctions) this passage is a unique opportunity of a turning point. Look to the houses of the natal and transiting planets for clues.
“Practice rather than preach. Make of your life an affirmation, defined by your ideals, not the negation of others. Dare to the level of your capability then go beyond to a higher level.” Alexander Haig
Navigation in the Mystery
Your astrological chart is a potent pattern: it is the matrix that reveals how the planets speak within you. Prediction is a matter of looking down the river to interpret and sense the shape and flow of the journey ahead. Consult your celestial compass: What are the conditions and optimal ways to navigate? What are your possibilities and options?
“When you bring consciousness to anything,
things begin to shift.”
Eve Ensler
The sun, the moon and the planets are your allies in seeking truth.
They offer parameters, milestones and timing.
They open doors – if you are willing to step through the threshold to
deeper understanding and self-acceptance.
I welcome your inquiry.
I offer navigation in the mystery through astrology and tarot.
With Love,
Jacqueline

Anthony Barreiro says
Thank you Jacqueline for this island of coherence! So much to reflect on here.
I’m thinking about the Saturn – Neptune conjunction. Let’s dissolve borders that separate and oppress people, and let go of limiting old stories that hypnotize us into believing that nothing can change. Let’s create new structures that meet every person’s needs, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual — bread and roses!
Jacqueline says
YES YES YES! Thank you Anthony!
