Into the Thick of It: Feb 23-Mar 01 '26 Astrological Energy Guide
We are officially suspended in the heavy, electric stillness of the eclipse portal, and the air is thick with the scent of ozone and ancient dust. Last week’s Aquarius Solar Eclipse didn’t just rattle the cages—it melted the locks, and as we navigate the space between that explosive rebellion and the impending hyper-detailed purge of the March 3rd Virgo Lunar Eclipse, we are being asked to turn our revolutionary gaze inward. The background noise of the world is screaming with the tectonic shifts of a civilizational restart, from the "Great Reset" of the elite to the holy rage fueled by the ongoing loss of our people to systemic violence. But this week, the stars are moving the battlefield from the streets into our living rooms, our kitchens, and the very center of our hearts.
This isn't just another week of "getting by" under a crumbling empire; it is an intensive spiritual audit led by a shadowed Mercury and an exalted Venus in the deep, ancestral waters of Pisces. The cosmic mandate is shifting from the abstract "shattering of the status quo" into the unglamorous, devoted daily labor of building networks of care that can actually hold us. As the system turns increasingly, terrifyingly fascist, our emotional healing and our refusal to abandon ourselves become our most potent acts of defiance. We are clearing the psychic debris of a lifetime of individualism to make room for a collective future—one built not on data points or delusions, but on the raw, unshakeable accountability of radical love.
Weekly Retrospective: The Alchemy of Accountability
Looking back at this week, it’s impossible to ignore how the Solar Eclipse plus the Saturn-Neptune conjunction acted as a surgical strike on our collective status quo. We weren’t just "turning a page"; we’ve started a whole new book.
Seeing the New Mexico Truth Commission mobilize the very same day the eclipse hit its peak felt like a literal manifestation of that Sabian symbol—the butterfly dragging itself out of a dry, cracked shell. It was the moment the "how things have always been" in the Zorro Ranch saga finally gave way to "how things actually are," proving that when the North Node is involved, the truth doesn't just trickle out—it floods.
Then we hit the heavy lifting on Friday. The peak of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries was the cosmic equivalent of a cold bucket of water to the face of the global elite. Saturn is the planet of "authority," and Neptune is the planet of "illusions," so watching Prince Andrew spend his 66th birthday in a detention cell and seeing the Norwegian leadership crumble felt like a massive, unavoidable karmic receipt being printed in real-time. It was the "Great Reset" we’ve been tracking, where the hidden aspects of the powerful were finally beginning to be forced to occupy the same space as the consequences of their actions. At 0° Aries, the universe didn't just ask for change; it demanded a total restart.
Let’s be real: the rage following continued deaths at the hands of ICE isn't something that can be captured in a blog post. It’s the heavy, localized pain of seeing people treated as disposable, a fire that’s been already roaring since the start of this country. But this week, we saw more of the alchemization of that pain into collective exercises of real care and power. Under the Moon-Chiron conjunction and the Mars-Chiron sextile, our collective wounds were channeled directly into strategic, unshakeable action.
We saw the success of the San Francisco teacher strike on the 17th and the Oakland vote to strike on the 21st—moments where the people didn't just ask for justice, they ground the gears of the system to a halt. That energy flowed perfectly into the international stage with the Brazilian President’s call for Global South unionization over the weekend.
The nightly vigils at 26th and Nicollet have become a sacred ground where the cold Minneapolis air is softened by the heat of a thousand candles—a constant, flickering reminder that we won't let the lights of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Keith Porter, Lorth Sim, Jairo Garcia-Hernandez, or anyone else affected by ICE be snuffed out. This isn't just grief; it’s the communal emotional and spiritual groundwork for the massive shift we saw on February 18, when Alex’s own union, the AFGE, stood up to demand a total overhaul of the federal use-of-force policies that have turned our streets into a war zone.
It is becoming clearer than ever that our anger is a necessary, holy response to the systemic neglect of human life. This entire "symphony" of sextiles (Moon to the Sun, North Node, Jupiter, and Venus) mirrored a collective refusal to be ignored. We aren't just shouting into the void anymore; we are building a new infrastructure of solidarity that spans from the classroom to the global stage.
We closed the week raw, but with a rare sense of grace. The Venus-Jupiter trine suggests that the "moral high ground" isn't a place we wait for—it's a place we build through union, labor, and a refusal to let the human cost of these systems be forgotten. We are finally moving with the current, proving that healing and action are two sides of the same coin.
Overall Weekly Energy: The Daily Devotion of Rebellion
We are officially suspended in the eclipse portal, and the energy this week is a direct bridge between breaking the old world and building the new. Through Monday the 23rd, we are still riding the shockwaves of the February 17th Aquarius Solar Eclipse—an explosive lunation that was all about defying the system and creating networks of care completely outside of it. But as the clock strikes Tuesday the 24th, the energetic tide turns. We start feeling the incoming pull of the March 3rd Virgo Lunar Eclipse. If Aquarius was the brilliant, rebellious spark of non-compliance, Virgo is the deeply unglamorous, necessary grounding of that spark. It’s the detailed, on-the-ground devotion required to solidify these new community structures. This transition is happening against the massive, tectonic backdrop of our generational rebirth: Saturn and Neptune dissolving the fascist "warrior-king" archetype at 0° Aries, Pluto democratizing power in Aquarius, Chiron demanding autonomous leadership in Aries, and Uranus preparing to shatter the status quo in Gemini. The collective foundation is permanently altered by these heavy-hitting background anchors, but this week, the astrology is highly localized, relational, and deeply personal.
At the center of this immediate work is a profound pull toward the waters of Pisces, where the Sun, exalted Venus, the North Node, and Mercury are all swimming. As the system becomes increasingly fascist, this Pisces stellium reminds us that our emotional healing is our rebellion. Venus here is exalted for a reason—it shows us that building chosen family, practicing forgiveness that allows for growth, and choosing radical hope over resignative despair are revolutionary acts. But this isn't about escapism; we are being audited. Mercury has been in its pre-retrograde shadow, pulling up the psychic debris and delusions we’ve used to survive, and on Thursday the 26th, it stations fully retrograde. This retrograde isn't just about dropped calls or delayed emails; it’s a spiritual audit asking if we are brave enough to compassionately face our reality, warts and all, or if we are still trying to spiritually bypass the collapse. With the North Node also here, the mandate is clear: release the hyper-individualistic need to control the crumbling empire, and surrender to the intuitive, empathetic flow of collective care. This is where true strength lies, one of the major lessons of this week.,
The emotional body is going to feel this shift intensely as the Moon moves through the week, demanding that we socialize our rebellion. Monday’s Gemini Moon gets us talking, pushing us to actively dismantle our upholding of the system in our daily interactions. It’s an intellectual, buzzing energy that wants to make the status quo obsolete through sheer connection. But the real test arrives at 11:11 PM CST on Wednesday the 25th, when the Moon shifts into Cancer and hits our home life. This is the pop quiz. If you’ve been doing the shadow work—especially the deep, core-wound healing of Chiron—you’ll be able to hold your boundaries and protect your peace. If you haven't, expect the planets to throw you a cosmic test or two right on your doorstep to show you exactly where you are still abandoning yourself to keep the peace. By the weekend, as the Moon roars into passionate Leo, this emotional heaviness will catch fire, gearing us up for the hyper-detailed, service-oriented purge of the impending Virgo eclipse. The foundational anchors are set; now, it's time to do the daily work.
Weekly Anchors
1. The Eclipse Axis Transition:
• Shadow Work Prompt: Where am I feeling the tension between my desire to completely rebel against the system (Aquarius) and my resistance to the unglamorous, detailed daily labor (Virgo) required to actually build a new one?
• Mantra: I embrace the brilliant rebellion of my vision, and I dedicate myself to the daily, grounded work required to build it.
2. The Mercury Retrograde Audit:
• Shadow Work Prompt: What illusions, coping mechanisms, or forced positivity am I clinging to because facing the reality of our current world feels too painful? How can I extend grace to myself as I let those delusions dissolve?
• Mantra: I release the delusion of control. My radical hope and my chosen family are my most powerful forms of resistance.
3. The Cancer Moon Pop-Quiz:
• Shadow Work Prompt: As the revolution enters my personal life and relationships, where do I need to solidify my emotional boundaries at home so that I don't abandon my own needs while trying to care for the collective?
• Mantra: My emotional peace is sacred ground. I do not have to abandon myself to show up for my people.
Somatic Practice of the Week: The Ethereal to Earth Sweep
We are moving massive amounts of ethereal water (Pisces) into highly practical earth (the upcoming Virgo eclipse), we need to literally ground our watery, empathetic anxiety into the physical body.
The Practice:
• Stand, sit, or lay barefoot on the ground outside [if laying, you can obviously lay on a yoga mat or some blankets or whatever you prefer. (if not possible outside, do this on your floor).
• Take a deep inhale through your nose while sweeping your arms out to the sides and up over your head, gathering all of the swirling Pisces mental energy, the grief, and the Mercury retrograde fog.
• As you exhale fully through your mouth, make a "shhhh" sound (like rushing water) and sweep your hands slowly down the center line of your body, bending your knees slightly and pushing your hands all the way down toward the floor.
• Imagine physically dragging the overwhelming energy out of your head, down through your nervous system, and planting it directly into the earth (Virgo) where it can be composted into something useful.
• Repeat this 3 to 5 times, especially when you feel the Gemini moon making your mind race or the Cancer moon testing your emotional limits.

Mama Moon starts off the day working with a Pre-Retrograde Shadow Mercury to guide us into introspection before her square up with an Aquarian Mars, a fight narrated by an absolutely erratic Uranus in Taurus. Make sure you don’t skip this introspection throughout the day. The Taurus Moon demands security and comfort, however the Aquarian Mars demands swift innovative action. As they battle it out in the boxing ring, Uranus will make sure each punch, kick, and infliction of pain strikes with sudden shock. Today is bound to trigger survival wounds due to the systemic collapse and failures we are struggling through. This should start to ease up a bit in the evening, as the Void of Course Moon offers more introspection prior to entering the sociable sign of Gemini.
Avoid impulse decisions. Hold space for anger- it’s always trying to stick up for you, loved ones, and/or your beliefs; it’s trying to tell you something, be present and listen. Try your best to step out of reactionary mindsets, and walk away if you’re unable to do so. Take time to breathe and recalibrate so you can hold space for the tides that come up and thus be capable of riding the waves instead of drowning under it all.
Mama Moon in Gemini ends the day by meeting up with Saturn and Neptune in Aries. With both of these outer planets in the peak of their conjunction, healing from the triggers of today will be found by letting go of what is no longer sustainable and being open to new, creative, unconventional ways of security.
Daily Anchors
• Shadow Work Prompt: When my survival wounds are triggered by the shock of systemic failure, do I retreat into a false sense of "comfort" that keeps me stagnant, or do I use that heat to fuel innovative change? Where am I resisting the "unconventional" security I actually need?
• Mantra: I honor my anger as a guardian, but I choose to ride the wave rather than drown in the reaction.

The intensity of yesterday continues. With Mama Moon squares up with the Sun and North Node in Pisces, rationality, logic, and overthinking come to bat with spiritual growth, compassion, and intuition. You may feel deeply called to disassociate and/or distractions over embodied presence. The Moon-Pluto trine offers release, emphasizing radical honesty and community care over hyper individualism.
Today, remember the strength in vulnerability. It may seem easy to bottle things up, however there’s only so much that bottle can hold. Excluding the top 1%, we’re all struggling through this societal collapse. There is immense healing to be found in opening your heart to trusted loved ones. Shifting out of individualism requires allowing oneself to care and be cared for. Allow yourself to see the gift of this forced collective shift- you get to build communal support networks, you get to get to know your neighbors, you get to become closer to your chosen family and community.
Daily Anchors
• Shadow Work Prompt: What parts of my heart have I locked away in a "bottle" to maintain an illusion of individual strength? Who in my community or chosen family am I afraid to be truly vulnerable with, and what would happen if I let them in?
• Mantra: My heart is a bridge, not a fortress; I find my power in collective care, not hyper-individualism.

You know that shit you were trying to bottle up yesterday? Yeah that bottle is bursting open today. I told you it could only hold so much!
As Mama Moon in Gemini squares up with Venus and Pre-Retrograde Shadow Mercury in Pisces, misunderstandings surrounding sociability vs authentic connection are bound to pop up today. This is a pop quiz of the degree in which you’ve responded to the last few days’ survival wound triggers with openness and collectivism.
With the Gemini Moon now cooperating with Mars in Aquarius as well as Chiron in Aries, We are guided to remember just how deeply we are all not free until we are all free by understanding the flip side of that- caring for the rights, safety, security, and livelihood of everyone is the only way to truly ensure you are doing your best to truly secure your own and your loved ones’ human rights, safety, and livelihoods. This understanding knocks the individualistic arguments of freedom and autonomy to the curb, as collectivism grants more autonomy to the people- doesn’t take it away! There is evidence of this throughout history and all over the world.
I suggest reflecting on how this hits home for you and your daily life in the evening, as the Moon goes Void of Course and ingresses into her home sign of Cancer. Don’t just laksadaisically wipe away the mess the bursted bottle made- thoroughly clean it up with patience, love, and sustainable solutions.
Daily Anchors
• Shadow Work Prompt: Now that the "bottle" of suppressed emotion has burst, how can I clean up the mess with patience rather than shame? In what areas of my life am I still prioritizing my own "autonomy" over the collective freedom we all deserve?
• Mantra: My autonomy isn’t sacrificed for the collective; it is secured by it.

Mama Moon is leaning into a heavy karmic turning point today, and she’s not pulling any punches. As she moves through Cancer, she’s squaring up with the fire in Aries, creating a friction that feels like an internal tug-of-war. This isn't just "feeling moody"—it’s a direct confrontation with the mental delusions and out of touch emotional boundaries you may have been depending on throughout the week. Survival wounds will continue to be triggered, specifically the ones tied to these emotional dependencies that no longer serve the person you are becoming. You might feel the walls closing in, but remember: the tension is the teacher. It’s showing you exactly where you’ve been leaning on structures—or people—that can’t support you anymore.
While the non-stop pop quiz of the squares of the last couple days feels like a heavy weight on your shoulders, the Pisces/Aries trines and sextiles are providing a divine "exit ramp" out of the chaos. You are being pushed to stop crumbling beneath hyper-individualistic pressures and stand up for not just yourself, but your community, with the powerful strength of radical honesty and collective care.
Daily Anchors
• Shadow Work Prompt: Which emotional dependencies or "mental delusions" am I clinging to as a crutch to avoid the fire of my own transformation? Where do I feel the walls closing in, and how is that tension trying to teach me to stand on my own feet?
• Mantra: I release the structures that can no longer support the person I am becoming.

The power and strength found in radical honesty and collective care is broken down into the nitty gritty details. We start the day feeling aligned and clear about how this understanding expands and shifts our life purpose. This morning is a great time for introspection work regarding this! Any introspection work you do will of course ease up the Mars-Uranus square’s intense feelings of urgency to step into the role of our lifetimes with reminders of long term goals to build more sustainable security through innovative new systems.
These goals are hashed out throughout the rest of the day, with the Cancer-Pisces-Aries trines, sextiles, evening square + conjunction, as well as the Void of Course Moon, pushing us to navigate what the short term of these logistical plans actually looks like, asking us- what is required of you, your time, your energy, etc. to make these new/shifting long term goals a reality?
Don’t shy away from the heavy introspection of today, lean into it with the understanding that you don’t have to have it all figured out immediately, you just need to get started. The personal changes necessary to not crumble under the current systemic collapse takes time. Take time to ground yourself so that you can face the big questions with embodied, mindful presence.
Daily Anchors
• Shadow Work Prompt: Beyond the frantic "urgency" of the world, what are the actual, logistical requirements for my long-term goals? What specific parts of my time and energy am I willing to sacrifice to build a more sustainable reality for myself and my people?
• Mantra: I don’t need to have the whole map to take the first step; I trust the slow, steady build of my new foundation.

We’ve been feeling it since Tuesday, however the upcoming Virgo Eclipse energy sharpens today! As Mama Moon ingresses into the creative sign of Leo, the introspection of Thursday evening through all of yesterday is put into action. With the fire trines of the Leo Moon and Saturn as well as Neptune in Aries, you’ll likely feel a huge pull to act on the short term responsibilities of shifting long term goals concerning livelihood sustainability which have been clarified over the last couple days.
While I highly recommend pursuing this pull to action, I warn to move with a bit of caution and ground yourself in how these short term moves build into the long term goals of sustainable security. With Mama Moon in Leo squaring Pluto in Aquarius, a mishap, misunderstanding, or disagreement based in subconscious individualism and colonial mindsets may arise.
Today, while being firm and set on the need to decolonize, hold grace and patience for the fact that we are all on different places on that journey- a journey that is more than likely endless. Furthermore, whether or not this subconscious individualism and colonialism arises from you, take today to check on and hold gratitude for your progress in your own decolonization journey.
Daily Anchors
• Shadow Work Prompt: Where is my subconscious colonial mindset or individualism still trying to high-jack my progress? How can I hold more grace for myself and others as we navigate the messy, endless journey of unlearning the system’s lies?
• Mantra: I move with intention; I celebrate my progress in the endless journey of decolonization.

Energy Guide
This week has been particularly heavy as we ramp up to next week’s Virgo Lunar Eclipse, showing us what needs to be purged in our lives to the tiniest of details. All this may have left you feeling mentally exhausted and chaotic. Today’s transits are here to offer soothing, nurturing, empathetic healing.
These transits are pushing us towards inner child healing and reparenting to heal the disorientation this week brought. The Ceres-Mercury RX sextile guides to implementing boundaries to build practical structures that are more aligned with the person you are becoming. Then the Moon-Chiron trine encourages courageous, heart-centered healing through confidently authentic expression of vulnerabilities through creative outlets.
Today is an amazing opportunity for spiritual and personal growth! Take some time today to review any topsy-turvy mental patterns with patience so that they can be alchemized into self-compassionate, disciplined nurturing. I also recommend returning to a passion or creative outlet that you loved throughout your childhood.
Daily Anchors
• Shadow Work Prompt: What creative passion or childhood joy did I abandon to fit into a system that exhausted me? How can I "reparent" myself today by setting boundaries that protect my space to play and heal?
• Mantra: I am my own compassionate protector; I alchemize my exhaustion into heart-centered, creative healing.
Historical Context
If you feel like you are standing on the precipice of a massive, earth-shattering shift, it’s because the daily transits of this week are finally plugging us into the high-voltage "Great Reset" we’ve been tracking for years. We aren't just reading about a "new world"; we are living through the exact degree of the zodiac—0° Aries—where Saturn and Neptune have already conjoined. That peak level of structural dissolution is the baseline of our current reality. While the global elite are scrambling to find their footing as their illusions (Neptune) and authority (Saturn) melt together, this week’s personal planetary movements are forcing us to decide how we actually inhabit that space. We are taking the massive, generational "death of myth of the great man theory" and turning it into a localized, daily practice of reconstruction.
This immediate work is being fueled by the bridge we’re crossing between the Aquarius Solar Eclipse and the upcoming Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 3rd. While the background energy of Pluto in Aquarius—the same signature that defined the Age of Revolutions in the 1700s—demands a total dismantling of top-down power, this week's Pisces stellium is the emotional engine making that possible. As the system turns intensifyingly fascist, the Sun, exalted Venus, and the North Node in Pisces are teaching us that emotional healing isn't a "break" from the revolution—it is the revolution. These transits take the cold, historical weight of Pluto and the impending war-energy of Uranus in Gemini and soften them into something we can actually hold: community, chosen family, and radical hope. We are currently under a Mercury Retrograde audit that asks if we are brave enough to face the reality of this collapse without the delusions of the old world.
Spiritual Task
The Moon’s movement this week acts as the literal trigger for these massive foundational shifts. On Monday, the Gemini Moon takes that heavy Saturn-Neptune dissolution and turns it into conversation, forcing us to socialize our rebellion and get loud about our networks of care. But by Wednesday night’s 11:11 PM Cancer ingress, the revolution comes home. This is where the generational work of Chiron in Aries—healing the wound of identity and self-abandonment—gets its biggest test. It’s one thing to shout for collective care on a global stage; it’s another to hold those boundaries in your own kitchen. As the week closes with a Leo Moon, we are taking the "black ashes" of the crumbling empire and the raw energy of the eclipse portal and choosing to act. We are moving from the abstract "shattering of the status quo" into the nitty-gritty, heart-centered daily labor of building a world where the human cost is never again treated as a data point.
This week is essentially a series of cosmic pop quizzes designed to see if we can actually live the values we preach. We start by honoring our anger on Monday, letting it be the guardian that points us toward what we need to protect. By Tuesday and Wednesday, the universe demands we stop hiding behind a "strong" individual facade; that "bottle" of suppressed emotion is meant to burst so we can finally learn how to be cared for by our neighbors and chosen family. It’s a spiritual lesson in realizing that our autonomy isn't something we lose in the crowd—it’s something we secure by making sure the people next to us are safe, too. If we can move through the direct confrontation of our delusions on Thursday, we find ourselves at the "exit ramp" of radical honesty.
As we move into the logistical planning of Friday and the active decolonization work of Saturday, the task shifts from "feeling" to "mapping." We’re being asked to look at the nitty-gritty details of our time and energy, deciding what we are actually willing to sacrifice to make these new systems real. Sunday brings us to the ultimate landing point: inner child healing. We are being guided to reclaim the creative joy and the childhood passions that the system tried to beat out of us. We aren't just surviving a collapse; we are reparenting ourselves in the middle of it, setting the boundaries necessary to protect our play just as fiercely as we protect our protests.
All of this—the survival triggers, the burst bottles, and the radical honesty—is the essential alchemy required before we hit the Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 3rd. We are purging the "individualism" toxin from our systems so we can step into next week ready to do the detailed, service-oriented work of building a sustainable future. The guidance for right now? Don't rush the process and don't skip the introspection. Let the old illusions dissolve, let your anger speak its truth, and let your creative vulnerability be the glue that holds your community together. We aren't just shouting into the void; we are becoming the architects of a world where compassion is our foundation.
