What if the most turbulent month of the year isn't about chaos, but about the kind of courage that redefines a soul? February 2026 arrives with a revolutionary signature written across the sky, inviting you into a profound dialogue between your individual heart and the collective story. In this reflective exploration, we navigate the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, a solar eclipse in Aquarius, and a series of startling squares to Uranusโnot as distant celestial events, but as a living astrology of transformation asking you where your mature bravery resides.

This is a moment where old structures, both inside and out, may feel the tremors of dissolution. Yet, within that tremor lies the invitation: not to flee the pressure, but to discover what parts of your character are being called to stand, to voice, and to begin anew. We'll contemplate the full moon in Leo's call for authentic expression, the intuitive wisdom of Mercury's journey through Pisces, and the poignant, healing touch that Venus offers amidst the intensity.
There is a paradox at the heart of collective suffering, where tragedy and awareness can become painfully intertwined. The stars this month do not shy away from this depth. They ask us to consider how personal losses and global shifts can become the very ground from which a more compassionate consciousness growsโnot by bypassing the pain, but by allowing it to make the world more personal, more real to us. This is the difficult, sacred work of a soul in revolutionary times.
Join Adam Elenbaas and the Nightlight Astrology panel for a deep, grounding conversation on navigating February 2026. This video is a companion for your journey, offering not just prediction, but perspective for the heart and spirit.

Adam Elenbaas
Hey, everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight astrology. Today we are going to break down the astrology of the month of February, 2026 for all of you.
February is a huge month. We have a Saturn Neptune conjunction in the sign of Aries, maybe the biggest transit of the year. We have a solar eclipse just a few days prior to that in the sign of Aquarius, multiple. It seems like all month long, we have squares to Uranus coming through late Aquarius, at least the early part of the month is like that, a number of very interesting and powerful trines, and then the month caps off with another square from Mars to Uranus. So it is just such a dynamic month of February.
I don't know many astrologers that didn't have February as arguably the biggest month of the calendar year. So we're going to break it down for you today with the panel. As always, I got my friends and colleagues here to join me, so we're going to do that, and I'm really excited to get into it, but before we do, remember to like and subscribe, share your comments and reflections. It really is awesome if you take a second to subscribe. We know a lot of people watch who are not yet subscribed, that simple action helps us more than you can imagine. So thank you for doing that.
Transcripts of any of these daily talks can be found on the website that's Nightlight astrology.com, you're listening to this on a Sunday because that's the first day of the month, and so it's technically a bonus episode, which means no promotions today. We're going to get right into it. I'm going to bring Courtney, Shirazad, and Bianca back now. Welcome back. First of all, hey, hello.
Yeah, I want to just briefly mention to the audience, you may notice that Tim is not with us. Tim, around the end of the calendar year, had to make some kind of tough life choices about his focus going forward with astrology and other creative endeavors that he has going on in his life and professional directions and and so he decided it was probably best to focus on those things right now.
We miss him, but we're really grateful that he was with us for the time that he was and we wished him well on his path as he's focusing on different things now. So we're going to miss his voice, because he brought a really special spice to the to the soup, you know. But on the same note, we still have Courtney, Bianca and Shirazad with us for the rest of this year.
We're not going to add a fourth person back in to replace that seat, so to speak. We're going to just roll with these three wonderful ladies, and I'll add in my thoughts as we go. But yeah, just I think probably I speak on behalf of everyone here and everyone who listens to the show lately that we appreciated Tim and and we'll miss him.
So yeah, on that note, February is wild. I was just saying in the intro how many transits there are. I think most astrologers had February circled as the busiest, most dynamic month of the year. There is maybe some argument for July. We've got like a Jupiter Pluto opposition, and we have a Pluto Uranus Trine. That's another very busy month. February has got to be it, right? Saturn, Neptune, a solar eclipse. Tons of squares to Uranus.
It feels like a month of revolution. I'm excited for the possibilities. Might mean both personally and collectively, the revolutionary times are not always easy times, but they're often necessary and and so, you know, we've also been trying to walk consciously through this period at Nightlight by giving people a very basic tool, which sometimes I think we imagine is a luxury, but I feel it's actually a basic survival necessity, and that is sitting quietly every morning.
So before we get into it I just want to remind people, because I forgot to mention in the overview that every day, for 40 days, we're meeting Monday through Saturdays, 9:30am Eastern, 8:30 Central, for 20 minutes of meditation and group community. We've had upwards of 100 people come out. It's been really nice to help just if nothing else, we can help regulate your nervous system and that can help you with everything else you have to handle and process, which is a lot right now.
Sundays we meet 11:30 Eastern, 10:30 central we do 30 minutes of meditation. We also have some group processing that's all free. You can find it on the silent Sundays tab of the website. Just to mention that, because we're going to talk about a lot of things today that are pretty lit, and I just want to make sure people know that that resource is there for them too.
So anyway, what are you guys thinking about this month, and where do we want to start there? You guys have organized this month in a really fun, interesting way, so you tell me where you want to get started?
Courtney Chandrea
Yeah, we're going to start with the full moon in Leo.
Adam Elenbaas
All right, let me get the chart up on the screen here. I just realized it's not up yet. Okay, let's get this rolling. Okay. Now. I am going to just progress this to February 1, and I'll circle what the ladies are talking about as we go. And I'm going to put myself on the bottom so you don't have to look at my mug, and rather, you look at our speakers. So there you have it. There's a full moon. Take us away. Tell us what you're thinking about this month. Yeah.
Courtney Chandrea
So on February 1, we are opening up the month of February with this full moon in Leo. And while the full moon taken on its own is one of the quieter transits of the month, it's still worth paying attention to as the lunar nodes move just that much closer out of the Virgo Pisces axis and into the Leo Aquarius axis.
And actually the first solar eclipse that we'll be experiencing later this month takes place in Aquarius, kicking off that shifting dynamic for us for the year. This Full Moon is going to foreshadow some of the tensions and themes that will be developing in a deeper way as the year goes on in those respective house places in each of our birth charts.
So look to where Leo and Aquarius sit in your birth chart, and that'll give you some clues as to what this year is going to hold for you as we go forward. This full moon in Leo is a full moon that's hosted by a sun in Aquarius. So we have a little bit more intimacy between the sun and the moon, given that hosting relationship, but with the sun in Aquarius, the sun is in exile, so that's giving a little bit of an edge to the dynamic as well.
When we're thinking about the tension between Leo and Aquarius, some of the big themes that we can look for is that the idea of the Aquarian collective versus the Leo individual. You know, we have the warm heart of the Leo and the cool mind of Aquarius. We've got rational Aquarius, intellectual Aquarius, and then Leo as intuitive and charismatic.
And while these two ways of being and expressing and knowing can seem antithetical when we're talking about an opposition in the birth chart or in the sky the Zodiacal opposition really what those two archetypes need is just space in order for each to express their qualities in a whole and free way. And there are many ways in which they can actually serve and support each other. So just because there's an opposition across these two placements doesn't mean it has to be negative.
You know, Aquarius asserts that the collective has power and the individual needs the collective ultimately in order to survive. But Leo pushes back and says that the collective needs the individual just as much as the individual needs the collective. We can think about this dynamic as like a beehive. We have the hive mind of the beehive being much like Aquarius, that collective organism, the sort of patterned thinking that we find in Aquarius.
But if it weren't for those individual worker bees that go out into the landscape in their own unique and idiosyncratic way, the beehive wouldn't be able to adapt to a changing world, because it's that one worker bee that goes out and finds that next best nesting location, so that the hive can shift and move as the landscape shifts and moves.
So this is, these are some of the tensions that I'm thinking about with this full moon here. But we can pass it off to Bianca with the first square to Uranus for the month.
Bianca Selene
Yeah. No, that's, I appreciate that full moon. Your take on the Leo Full Moon. And I was, as you were talking, I was thinking about just something to do with that collective versus individual and I think that it's really interesting that we don't emphasize the individual more, because I think that what sometimes happens is we get overshadowed by the collective, and then it's like feelings of being dismissed or like but really what I think we should be looking at, or at least for the Leo, so the full moon in Leo is more like the individual's like a signal revealing where that system, the collective, must adapt.
So I really appreciated your thoughts and commentary on that full moon. But I've got the squares to Uranus throughout the month, so you'll see me chiming in when we get further in the month, when we when the sun squares Uranus, and then later on Mars squares Uranus. So it gets a little bit more intense every time.
But on the fifth of Feb, we'll see that Mercury comes up to Mercury square Uranus, Mercury in Aquarius, squaring Uranus in Taurus at the 27th degree. And as well as that, on the seventh of February, we have Venus also in Aquarius, trailing behind Mercury, and then also coming up to a square with Uranus in Taurus at that 27th degree.
And then shortly after that, they both, as they hit those squares to Uranus, then they enter into Pisces. And for Mercury and Venus in Aquarius, just in a vacuum, I like to think that they teach us how to think and value collectively. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but when they make contact with the outer planets, depending on which outer planet it is, determines whether that collective signal feels liberating or destabilizing or coercive.
So I was looking into this, and I thought I would tie these two transits here, into just I was watching a movie the other week, and this really, it was, it was a movie. I'm not sure if you guys have heard of it, Arrival. It's a 2016 movie, seems that movie. Oh yeah, okay, you've heard of it. Awesome.
Adam Elenbaas
In fact, I talk about it in a lot of my classrooms as a way of thinking about a kind of language that's oracular, because it sort of stands outside of time.
Bianca Selene
That and so I tie that in to when Mercury and Venus enter into Pisces, because it's a different It feels different from an Aquarius Mercury and Venus then going into a Pisces Mercury and Venus. So, but for those of you who may not know this, I it's, it's a movie about mysterious alien ships. I don't know how you've described it in the past, Adam, but it's mysterious. Yeah, and they, they arrive, and they situate themselves all across the world.
So there's one in the US, there's one in China, one in Russia, UK, Australia, and there's 12 overall, I think there's 12 on the earth. And so this movie is in America, so it's, it's all so they, so the American government brings in a linguist called Louise, and she's brought in to help communicate with these aliens, right? And the global response is tense.
There's like, military it's very highly controlled, like everyone wants answers. It's like, quick, fast, and it's that square to Uranus type of feeling, where everything feels tense and like we got to get answers right away. And the question that they're looking for is like, are you here, the aliens? Are you here to help us or harm us? And so tensions are high, and so at first, the language barrier is used as a way to kind of that Mercury in Aquarius.
It's like trying to solve a collective problem through communication. And then, and then Louise, she spends some time with the aliens, and then something happens. She realizes, as the story unfolds, that their language isn't linear, and that's that Aquarius Mercury entering into Pisces, into its exile, and now having to take a different form of understanding, not like logical but more like a felt sense of understanding, because the way that these aliens communicate is like, not past present future, but it's different.
So and so I liken that to that Mercury and Venus crossing into Pisces. Like understanding comes from surrendering right and surrendering to a different way of knowing. And there's blurred lines between past present, because so Louise is initially, as she's doing this, she starts to realize that it's very limiting for her to try and think linear and so but the emotional core of the film, the Venusian part, in my mind, is, and I won't do any spoilers for those who want to watch it, is that basically, Louise comes to she, she's revealed through these communications with these aliens her entire life.
And that includes everything, loss, love. All of that, and the Pisces in Venus is like, I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to live my life even though I know what's coming because it's meaningful to me, and that's it. Yeah, Venus exalted in Pisces. She values love even when it hurts, and she chooses connection without guarantee, without guarantees of the outcome, so and so, I guess.
To sum it up, arrival shows this Mercury and Venus in Aquarius need to understand and reform the future through that tension the square to Uranus and and then they cross into the cross-sign boundary into Pisces, and that's where there's this invitation to feel and to trust and to live with uncertainty. That's That's what I got for those little cluster of transits.
Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, I love that. That's a really nice you picked some really good stories. You've done this a couple episodes now where I'm like, I really like the story you picked to illustrate the transit. It's really, really nice. And it's like, I love that movie so much. It makes me it makes me want to revisit it. I think it's actually based on, like, a novella or
Courtney Chandrea
something like that short story. Yeah, as Bianca was speaking, I realized I had just read this story. It's by Ted Chiang, and Saffron is always pushing Ted Chiang in class as something that we need to read. And so I read the short story. And yeah, she in the story, Ted describes their language as being like teleological, where you have to understand the direction more than, more than, like, the actual process. It's more about the big picture stuff, which feels really good for the Pisces. Yeah, yeah,
Bianca Selene
right on so. And I think Shirazad maybe you've got something for us for the Saturn entering Aries. Sure.
Shirazad
Yeah, Saturn in Aries. Well, let's start by talking about Saturn, just like, you know, refreshing our memories on what Saturn represents. Well, Saturn represents time, boundaries, limitation, discipline, structure. In ancient astrology, it is associated with reality checks, delays, hardship, responsibilities, maturation and lessons that sometimes come through restrictions and that long term planning.
Well, Saturn in Aries, it is in its fall. But why? If we think of Aries, it starts the Zodiac, it's the beginner. Is that fiery masculine energy? It is a temple of Mars. Aries is that impulsive, assertive energy, doesn't like to wait, doesn't like to let things ferment. And this is exactly the opposite nature of Saturn, and that's why Saturn feels very good in Libra, because Libra likes to let things ferment, but Saturn doesn't really feel good in Aries.
So here in with Saturn going into Aries, we see that that disciplined nature of Saturn being at odds with Aries' fiery impulsivity. On the individual level, we can expect maybe things of you know, potential experiences could be maybe restrictions, delays and test of courage, test of patience and lessons around measured actions. To me, it feels like with Saturn in Aries, we need to make sure we take actions that are measured and they're not rushed.
Because facing this, with this transit, we can maybe face mistakes that come from ego and not virtue or integrity, and it's very important to balance that courage, you know, of Aries and action with Saturn's patience and Saturn's strategy. And also, I was thinking about the collective themes that could come up with Saturn in Aries.
Well, if we think of Aries, Aries is, you know, ruled, you know, by Mars. And if we think of Mars as leaders and people in charge, maybe we can see leadership being tested and and maybe entrepreneurial initiatives facing structural challenges. And maybe we see focus on more of a collective duty, maybe debates on boundaries, laws, regulations, and maybe one thing that we need to watch for on a collective level is that competitive energy on a collective level, making sure that our actions on a collective level are grounded and regulated.
Because Saturn has fallen here, and Saturn doesn't like that. So I'm. Um, and also a few things that we can take into account during this time, maybe strategizing our personal goals rather than rushing, balancing our authority and our agency with accountability and integrity. As I mentioned, it's very important to think of foundations and infrastructures before we start our initiatives, especially based on where this falls in your inner chart, which house it holds.
Just think about what foundations do I need before I take actions here? Because Saturn in Aries, there might be consequences. You know, if rushed without plan or foundation, that fiery energy of Aries might burn some bridges, and we don't want that. And maybe Saturn in Aries is asking us, can courage be harnessed without chaos? And that's what I have for Saturn in Aries.
Adam Elenbaas
I love that. I think if there's let me just take my that you can see my face, if there is, you know, any silver lining, let's put it of the difficulty of a fall of Saturn, right hitting Neptune, which a lot of the, I think a lot of the delineations have been heavy, you know, and there's a lot of heaviness around it, but, but one thing that is very possible is we saw in the late 80s, you know, Saturn and Neptune got together and a, you know, an instrument of suppression or repression, the Berlin Wall fell.
And I think it's possible that we see Saturn entering Aries, showing regimes falling. I know that Shirazad comes from a place in the world where, you know, like, I'll just say it, that there's, there's horrible things happening. And in Iran, for example, and a lot of other places on the planet here at home in the US, where you know, people are using terror and force, and you know instruments of power that are truly awful, and it is quite possible that we see some of those things coming to a head.
But also Saturn in Aries can depict the downfall of different kinds of forms of leadership, and some of those are ones that need to go and so like, if there's any hope for Saturn entering Aries, that's not just you know about the heaviness of that dignity category, like, Oh, it's a planet in its fall, yeah, well, some things that are falling might, it might not be so bad that they fall. Just put it that way.
Shirazad
Yeah, thank you. I just, I just wanted to correct myself. It's just my scattered brain. Because of everything that is happening in Iran, while Sun is exalted in Aries, I used the word rulership. It's just sorry, it's for my scattered brain. Yeah. I just wanted
Adam Elenbaas
to, yeah, no, you're fine. You're fine. Anyway, thank you. That was a wonderful delineation. And, yeah, let me get oops. Let me get my drawing set up here. Okay, tell me where we're going next.
Bianca Selene
And so I've got, on the 15th of February, we've got the sun square Uranus, the sun coming up in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus. And I'll just take it away if we're ready to go.
Adam Elenbaas
Here, go for it. Yeah, definitely. Sorry. Keep going. You roll right along.
Bianca Selene
All right, cool. So we've got the sun in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus. And I think of this as the revolution through rupture. It seems quite fitting to the conversation we just had with the Saturn entering Aries. So when I look at Sun Uranus hard aspects, they reliably coincide with moments of rupture and rebellion and shock, shocks to leadership and and they describe the quality of the time when things snap.
So where the sun represents or symbolizes the authority leadership identity and Uranus is that revolt, the rebellion, the refusal. Politically we could see political shocks like nobody saw this coming, type of outcomes and protests. We're already seeing a lot of this in the world already: uprisings, mass unrest. And so sun in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus, marks a pressure point between radical ideas, and it exposes where progress is moving, possibly faster than our capacity to feel safe.
It's hard to feel safe in a very combustible environment, and what's intensified by this square, particularly at this time, is because it is a dark moon, and because we are in the shadow of the eclipse season, which marks major beginnings and major endings. So I think this transit, is an invitation to try to find balance between self identity and collective belonging, and to ask yourself, can I believe what I believe without losing compassion for others? So that's pretty much all I've got for this transit.
Adam Elenbaas
Thank you. That was lovely. Should we go on to Mercury trine Jupiter? Yeah.
Shirazad
I'm going to talk about Mercury trining Jupiter, well, Mercury in Pisces, well, it is a debilitated Mercury. Thinking is very intuitive, symbolic, you know, watery and soft here, just like Pisces is a watery sign, it favors creativity, empathy and imagination over that pure logic. But there's also some like shadows of wishful thinking confusion or mixed signals in Mercury in Pisces.
Maybe sometimes can lack organization. It can confuse reality with fantasy, and sometimes can have issues with grounded decisions and actions, but at the same time, I have seen Mercury in Pisces in the chart of some very great poets. So it is a great placement for poetry and art and thinking about Jupiter retrograde in Cancer.
Well, if we see Jupiter as philosophy and wisdom and retrograde themes of reflection, reassessing our beliefs. Maybe a few things that we can watch for is during this time, and with that expansion energy of Jupiter, with this debilitated Mercury, we can maybe think about the practicality when we think of imagination and fantasy and thinking of maybe misreading details, avoiding over idealization and and maybe just reflecting on family, home and personal priorities, with the Cancer energy, with the retrograde, slowing down and thinking, you know, themes of self, family, roots, home.
And also sorry just one sec when I was thinking about Mercury in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer, I was thinking of ancestral or karmic themes, maybe uncovering some wisdom and family patterns and karmic themes in our family. But I was thinking of symbolic language during this transit, maybe messages that were received intuitively rather than logically, and the symbolic messages that I'm talking about.
It's just sometimes, you know, listening to your body, listening to your intuition, when your body just knows something is wrong when you receive that message that you don't have any logical explanation for. And I was thinking of Enki. Enki was the god of wisdom and subterranean waters. In Mesopotamian times, Enki governed fresh water and hidden wisdom and taught humanity through symbols and stories.
And there is a story of Enki that reminded me of the transit is that when other gods decided to send a great flood to erase humanity, Enki was bound by divine law not to warn them directly. Couldn't speak directly, because there was that law that you can't tell them that we're going to send this flood. And Enki didn't give up.
Instead of defying the law, he spoke riddles to a reed wall, because Enki knew that there is a man listening on the other side. And through symbolic language and suggesting, rather than commanding, Enki conveyed that knowledge for humanity to survive. And this Mercury in Pisces Trine retrograde Jupiter in Cancer, maybe echoes that Mesopotamian god, Enki, who warned humanity of the Great Flood, not through direct ways of communication, but through symbolic language, whispering to a wall and trusting that that lesson or intuition would receive it.
Maybe it's very important to listen to our body and our intuitions and insights, you know, journaling them during this transit that arrive to us through reflection, memory and and That's what I have for Mercury trining Jupiter.
Adam Elenbaas
Sorry, there we go. That was lovely. Thank you so much. I love that mythological invocation that you made. Was really perfect. Thanks. Let me move this to well, now we're into our we're into our eclipse. This is like one of the highlights of the month for sure and interesting that it's coming off from that Trine as well. But anyway, let me put it up on the screen one more day forward here.
Okay, I'm going to actually back this up so I can get the moon. Okay, there we go. Yeah.
Courtney Chandrea
So on February 17, we have our solar eclipse in Aquarius. And as Adam is always saying in class, that solar eclipse is like a New Moon on steroids. We can begin to unpack this transit a little bit by looking at some dignity considerations. You know, we've got the sun still in Aquarius, still in exile. The Sun's host, Saturn, has just moved into Aries, which is the place of its depression.
And when you consider the fact that the solar eclipse is already a difficult situation for the sun, as the moon literally eclipses its face, this looks like a pretty rough spot, but we can pull it back a little bit and notice that the sun is in Saturn's sign. Saturn is in the place of the sun's exaltation. So there's something of a mutual reception here, at least, you know, helping to deepen and add nuance to the situation and maybe give us something to work with as we move through some of the difficulties that might be presented in this moment.
What I've done for this transit was I came up with a short list of a couple of difficulties that might present themselves around these themes, and thought about how we can approach them with that Saturnian vision, in order to work with them more deeply and more holistically. So the first idea that's come to mind here is when I was thinking about what it means that the sun is in exile in Aquarius, and I was thinking about the risks that come with being an individual.
The image that comes to mind is like a bunny hopping over a snowscape. That bunny is very visible to any hawk or owl that might fly overhead. So it can be risky to show up as an individual. But to counterbalance this, I think about one of the ways Saturn in Aries might show up is as mature expressions of courage.
Sometimes the risk that's being taken in presenting oneself individualistically is worth it. Is worth the risk of becoming eclipsed, and even if that the smaller goal that that bunny is going for isn't achieved in the moment, what a mature expression of courage can do is resonate pieces within the collective and sort of shift the overall arc of the collective movements, whether we're talking about like, you know, out in the world, or even just like our collective self, things can shift in big ways, even if that the goal here, presented in the solar eclipse moment, isn't directly met.
The second difficulty I was considering was the possibilities of difficulties around vision. The sun is the ruler of our eyes as well as our attention. And if we think about that, that field of snow again, when the sun enters into that space and reflects off of like thousands of crystals of snow into our eyes, it can actually blind us. You know, think about coming inside after being out where, like, the whole landscape is white.
For those that know what it's like to be in a snowy winter, it's very hard to see coming inside after that moment. But if we fall back on the Saturnian wisdom of Aquarius, sometimes we need to recognize the limitations of our own sight and notice a bigger picture. You know, somebody over here has seen something like this, somebody over here has seen something like that, we can look at the greater picture and then develop a bigger sense of what's going on.
This is not the seeing of the Sun. This is the sight of Saturn, where you can recognize your own limitations, you see past those boundaries, in order to get a sense of a bigger picture that's taking place. The final difficulty I'm considering with this moment is difficulties that might present themselves around vitality, the sun, very simply, can just be our life force. It's our joie de vivre it's like that, that part of ourselves that reaches out to meet the world.
And I'm thinking of Bilbo at the end of, or at the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring, when he's looking at the end of his own days, and he says he feels like butter scraped over too much bread. It feels like a very potent image for this moment in time and for this. I don't exactly have a counter balance, but I'm just thinking about the wisdom of Saturn, the wisdom of the moon here as she presents herself over the face of the sun.
You know Saturn as the Lord of time, reminds us that everything like this too shall pass. You know, everything has a season, and the moon with her like fluctuating goddess body reminds us that we need moments of low vitality. We need death, we need retreat in order to make space for entire new expressions of life to take hold.
So these are, like, all of the themes that I'm considering here in this moment, and ways we might approach them. Wondering if anybody has anything to add, because it's a big one, yeah.
Bianca Selene
I mean, I, I'll pipe up and say, like, one of the things that came to mind when you're talking about some of the difficulties with this, with this solar eclipse was the difficulties around vision, and I thought that was so interesting, because it took me to a place where, here in New Zealand, we're in the middle of summer. So Aquarius season is summer for us and I was, I was reminded of when I'm out on the water with such a small country, you know, we're only a few hours from water no matter where we are in New Zealand.
So being in and around the water is such a huge part of just being raised in New Zealand, and especially when my dad is a fisherman. And so being literally raised on boats and around water. But what happens is, especially in summer, if you're out on the boat, say, fishing, and it's like the middle of the day, then what happens is, the sun reflects off the surface of the water and shines right into your eyes.
So if you don't have protection on your eyes, you're thinking, Oh, it's breezy. I've got a hat on, you know, I'm on a boat, like it's everything's fine, but actually, you are getting like, UV rays, like you are damaging your eyes, and there's a strain there, because of the reflection of the sun bouncing off the water, and so if you're not protecting yourself, and when I say protecting, I maybe think metaphorically at this time, like, are you meditating? Are you, you know, seeking solace? Are you like doing all these things to protect you, to able to weather you through something like a solar eclipse.
But, yeah, that was my my two cents.
Adam Elenbaas
I love that. Yeah, obviously, with Saturn, Neptune in Aries meeting, and that being the exaltation of the sun, the sun being there, being a solar eclipse of the sun happening in Saturn's sign while Saturn is in turn in the sign the sun is exalted. Is a very interesting little dignity conversation that's taking place. The sun is debilitated in Aquarius, but getting eclipsed, its host is a Saturn that's in its fall in the sign where the sun has a lot of power.
I would see the potential for very serious changes in policy, law or leadership to take place, maybe a little unexpectedly, because of the square to Uranus. You know, there's what, what is, what is coming apart or falling down or, I mean, right now, you know, in the United States like something that it's to me, it's one of the things that's very interesting on the mundane level.
And you all know who listen to this, I don't track this regularly on my channel, but one of the reasons that I find the Epstein files to be a very interesting thing happening in the collective is because it points to issues taking place in leadership across the entire political spectrum. It's really like no one is really exempt from the potential of being exposed.
In a way, it's showing a level of shared corruption from people who sit on opposite aisles in terms of moral, like, a serious like, moral trespasses. You know, I'm not. I don't revel in that. I don't sit back and go, Ooh, I can't wait to find out who I can judge or I don't, you know, it's not for me. It's not about knowing people's dark secrets or wanting the details, just purely from, but purely from the standpoint of diagnosing a deeper kind of sickness that's at work in contemporary society, that's spiritual in nature, that's about consciousness.
I was recently on the channel reading some of the symptoms of the Kali Yuga, and I made a point to say, I don't care if we're literally in the Kali Yuga or not. But what's interesting is that these descriptions from one of the Puranas describes like symptoms of a sick world, you know. And I think one of the symptoms of a sick world is when there's, you know, more interest in wealth and power than there is in integrity and spiritual substance.
And that's always been true, you know. But one of the reasons I find I'm drawing this back to the Eclipse, one of the things that I find really interesting about this is that when Saturn is in its fall in the sign of the sun, it can really expose the shadow of leaders. And it can, it can really bring up, and I say this from personal experience, because when Saturn was in Aries in the late 90s, my father, who was the leader of a large Christian community, fell down because of an affair, you know, and it caused my family to have to move change churches.
And it wasn't like so widely publicized, but it was under it was it happened and it was known and and so when Saturn was in Aries, I watched my father fall from grace, so to speak. And that was a choice moment for me, and I think some people who were in the congregation, who knew about it, to say, is this a moment where I lose my faith, or is this a moment where I realize the foundation needs rebuilding, and there's a return?
You know, there's like a return to faith and light and integrity. And I think that this eclipse with the Saturn Neptune conjunction underneath it, so to speak, there might be some things that look like they're falling apart, but it's also a moment where you say, Is this a moment of despair and giving up, or is it a moment where, when something doesn't work, I get the courage to start fresh or renew something, or return to something that was lost, something like that.
Anyway. Just some rambling thoughts here from my on my end with the Eclipse. Let me move us along. You want me to go on to the Saturn conjunct Neptune. Now that we've been kind of talking about it, why don't we roll right into it? I'll put it. There it is. I'll put it there. It is on the screen. Let me put it on the real time clock on the 20th here.
Shirazad
All right, there it is. Yeah, it's, it's a big transit to talk about, yeah, as you were talking about it, Saturn in Aries well we already covered, you know, I'm just going to talk about, like, just give a short recap, that Saturn is falling here. And Neptune in Aries there is historic themes of visionary or idealistic leadership, charismatic movements, or maybe ungrounded actions, and long eras of visionary missions and cultural or spiritual innovations.
Well, Saturn Neptune conjunction on a personal, individual level, we can think of reality versus idealism acting practically on visions. Are some themes that we can watch for and also boundaries being tested. You know the commitment, maybe testing our commitments, avoiding over commitment and clarifying long term goals. Maybe taking concrete steps.
When Neptune brings that fog, making sure that the steps that we're taking, they are grounded as much as we can, because sometimes, when it's very foggy, you can't really see 10 steps ahead but, but sometimes maybe seeing one step ahead that's enough in Foggy times, maybe it's very important to be ready for our beliefs around things to dissolve and change.
I think as adults, sometimes we forget that it's okay if we change our minds. You know it's okay. It's okay if our belief system starts to shatter and just fall apart. We are human. We are allowed to change our minds and beliefs. And I also see theme of surrender with with Neptune being here and on a mundane theme. Well, we need to remember that this is the last time this happened was almost 36 years ago that the Berlin Wall fell and and some themes could be transitional societal pattern, maybe shifting leaderships and formative movements, changes in collective identity, old narratives dissolving before new ones form.
I believe that before new structures and new forms are you know, come to our societies, always that old narratives have to dissolve and go away, and that's not necessarily easy. And I was reflecting on this conjunction, it really reminded me of a renaissance, Renaissance when it happened in Europe. It wasn't just about beauty and art, it began as a crisis of belief.
It was a period in Europe, roughly from 14th to 17th century, that was marked by a renewed interest in classical Greek and Roman knowledge and a shift away from medieval worldviews. It was a time that old medieval spiritual structures were dissolving, and new ideals about humanity, identity and creation were emerging, and these ideals had to be disciplined into form through architecture, method study.
And this conjunction marks you know that not only the height of that Renaissance, but it is that ignition moment. Is that moment when vision first dares to become real, and overall, this renaissance, with this conjunction, initiates a new cultural identity that maybe balances that vision with discipline and laying the groundwork for the modern world.
Adam Elenbaas
Saturn Neptune has a remarkable way of allowing collective realities to seep through boundaries, some of which are willful and ignorant, and others are just impersonality that we we live in a world that until something touches you personally, it's hard to relate to sometimes, especially when there's so much information you're just trying to live through a day.
But Saturn Neptune may have the power certain images, certain events, certain contacts that you have with the world seep through the boundaries and become make things personal. And so there's hope for that right now, that people may come to know more about what's happening to people, like those that just died in Iran, you know. And I think Saturn Neptune can make more people aware of that.
Although what's really hard about Saturn Neptune, and I don't mean to I don't fully understand this, so what I'm about to say may seem a little audacious, but Saturn Neptune has long had a history of like, there's martyrs, there's people that somehow their spirit, their soul, is part of what raises an awareness in a way that maybe not. And I'm not saying people are intentionally doing this. Either, their life may be taken against their own will in ways that are completely violent and tragic and traumatizing and terrible, and yet somehow, spiritually, they are part of a wave of people that are raising collective awareness.
And that is so Saturn Neptune in Aries, where you almost can't separate the tragedy from the fact that people in these losses, they become saints advancing a cause. And that's the truth of many different revolutionary periods, but none so painful in a way, to absorb and digest as Saturn Neptune conjunction. It's like the monk in the 60s, I think it was, who set himself on fire.
Images like that can be so evocative, and obviously that was a choice he made. But when people aren't making the choice, I thinking of the man who just died here in Minneapolis, Alex. That wasn't his choice, you know, and yet, I think I have seen waves of healing come from the loss of his life. It's a paradox that's very hard to hold, and I don't mean to cheapen it or oversimplify it or make it sound like unicorn farts, you know, because it's not, it's a painful paradox, but it there it is, Saturn, Neptune in Aries, and the things that end up touching us and making collective suffering more real and the impetus to act or to change our own consciousness are very deep and not easy to confront with Saturn Neptune in Aries, well, just a few thoughts to add. There just light hearted thoughts.
Shirazad
It's not a light hearted month. So No, it's not gonna be easy,
Adam Elenbaas
no, and I think it's important that we be real about it. And these things, in my mind, when we're getting into the epitome of human suffering, this is where I feel no reservation talking about collective things, because spirituality, that which is personal spirituality, which is really the focus of this channel, how are we personally relating to and experiencing these that's my lane.
I do natal personal counseling. I'm more of an astrological one on one therapist type of practitioner, but there are inflection points where history and collective suffering play a vital role in personal evolution. To deny that would be completely insane. So, you know, there are spaces where these things, you have to talk about them, because we're encountering an unavoidable collective moment of suffering and evolution and how we each encounter that might be different and finding that meaningful overlap between my consciousness, my evolving consciousness, and trying to also be a meaningful participant in collective evolution is not an easy question to answer.
It's not a one size fits all solution, and I will also add that shame and projection and attacking people as though we all know why, how God is directing our personal evolution and where God is calling us to make a difference in the world, that's an act of violence that can also be subtle, but just as terrifying for people right now.
So it's important that we have so much patience and compassion. Everyone's at a different space with their personal evolution, and everyone has to take up the courageous call to evolve, but also find the way to do so that's that's truthful and authentic. Well, anyway, let's before I keep sermonizing. I'm the son of a preacher, so I can really get going.
Let's roll on to February 22 where Venus Trine Jupiter, yeah.
Shirazad
Venus trining Jupiter, we have the exalted Venus here, Venus in Pisces. It's a Venus that wears a crown. Here, you can see that compassion, artistic connections being magnified here, expanded love, beauty, harmony, maybe that heightened empathy, creative flow, idealistic romance. And with that, Jupiter contacting Venus, thinking of, maybe themes of expressions of emotional, relational or spiritual connections and reflecting on them, you know, reflecting on generosity, reflecting on our relationships, whether romantic friendships, and also maybe acts of generosity, having that amplified impact.
But we should also be careful to not to over you know, overextend ourselves, you know, maintain those healthy boundaries. When I think of Venus in Pisces, trining Jupiter, I think of, this is another story from Mesopotamia. I think of Inanna, who was the goddess of love and beauty in Mesopotamia. And I wrote a blog on her story, my reflections on my website a few months ago.
So Inanna was the goddess of beauty and love, and she had this descent into the underworld that was not an easy journey, but when she went to the underworld, she kind of had to let go of parts of herself, and then she came out of the underworld to her empire more purified, and that her descent into the underworld is that symbolism of reflection, transformation, maybe Venus Jupiter here asks us to explore that depth of emotion, because It's a Trine.
It's more harmonious, that transformative potential of compassion and and maybe that inner descent encourages that gentle, loving engagement with ourselves, with parts of ourselves that we're not necessarily very kind with at times, maybe revisiting our, you know, emotional history, revisiting those patterns in our relationships, to bring that wisdom and insight and just remembering that when Inanna went to the underworld and came back, there was growth, there was understanding and there was purification.
So I think this is a great time to just pause and reflect on those themes. That's that's what I have for this Trine.
Adam Elenbaas
Love that, yeah, I feel like this was in my overview for the year. This was one of a few of my most benefic transits of the year. You know, because Venus is exalted, because Jupiter is exalted, and because Venus has reception with Jupiter. To me, this is especially after the intensity of the conjunction and the Eclipse. I like this as something like a bit of relief and assistance and some provisions being made, or some attempts at reconciliation if it's needed.
I like this transit as a very supportive one amidst a very difficult month, one of the most benefic transits of the year, in the middle of one of the most intense months of the year, that's nice. I think, Okay, I'm gonna move us along to the Mercury Retrograde period that starts on the 26th Yeah.
Courtney Chandrea
So yeah, on February 26 we have mercury stationing retrograde in its exile, but we do still. So, you know, we're kind of rippling from that Trine that mercury had to Jupiter. Jupiter is hosting Mercury here, and it's interesting that you know, just a few days after Mercury makes that trine with a retrograding Jupiter, Mercury then has a retrograde itself in in Jupiter's sign, there seems to be a way in which this, whatever shorter term revision process Mercury is going through now as it as it stations Retrograde, is somehow playing a part in the greater retrograde cycle that Jupiter is going through as it works to better sustain and nourish its own constituents.
With the mercury retrograding in Pisces, we have, like all the classic Mercury Retrograde themes that might come up, but think about them as they relate to water. You can think, you know, very basically, like things being delayed technology travel as a result of watery things, maybe literal water like floods or oil leaks. One of my favorite Mercury Retrograde stories is from the author Sophie Strand, whose dog peed in her printer as she was trying to print a manuscript.
So like little delays and how these things are informing the greater picture is an interesting thing to think about, but really what I'm thinking about with mercury as our ruler of thought and communication. And with all the greater shifts that are taking place in the world right now and in the month of February, you know, how are we adapting and changing in our thinking and analytical mind?
Mercury, as Shirazad was saying in exile, you know, it has a harder time organizing these things like water literally slips out of our hands. You know, we can't put them in boxes the way that mercury might like to in the water signs, too, are said to be mute, because so much of what we experience in water resides deep in the body, emotionally, we just don't have words for them in our lexicon.
And so I think this is something that mercury is going to be grappling with through its retrograde period, is how to how to begin to voice these experiences that are taking place here in this moment in time.
Adam Elenbaas
Thank you. Let me see here. Yeah, I think starting in on Retrogrades that are going to be happening in water, it reminds me a bit of the Grand Water Trine that came at the very end of this year last year. I should say I like that this, this particular retrograde will have contact with both benefics, both exalted benefics.
I had a plane ride home from India during a Mercury Retrograde in Pisces once and we had to, we had to emergency land the plane, because while we were in the air, India and Pakistan, I want to say, started escalating tensions. There was something that was happening and the air, they restricted the airspace, something like that, because of escalating tensions.
So we had to land the plane, sat on the tarmac for six hours without exiting. This is already like a 16 hour flight, so it ended up being 24 hours back home. And then there was this huge customs line that I had to go through. And then my connecting flight, obviously was screwed, and there was a line of, like, 200 people to get rerouted.
So I just rented a car and drove from New York City home to DC, right off from, you know, 30 hours of straight traveling. And I was so sick by the time I got home. And because I was in the airplane for so long, my feet were swollen so Mercury with water, right? And it was so Mercury in Pisces. So I looked at this, and I was like, All right, you know, like, What are we going to be doing?
I was like, Well, I'm going to take the benefics as a good sign. I'm also not traveling internationally. Have no travel plan during the time. But I would say to people who are traveling during this period of time, bring provisions. Because I feel like when Mercury is debilitated and you're traveling and it's retrograde, especially right around the station point, like this late February, I would say, like, you know, just kind of have some, have some, what do you call it like? Have some backup plans available for you.
I know it sounds so superstitious to be like that, but I've seen this enough doing that. Anyway. It's wild. Anyway. Okay, I'll shut up there. That's my very dark contribution. Everything in this episode. You meant to leave feeling awful.
Speaker 1
We end with a conjunction to Venus. So it can't be so bad.
Adam Elenbaas
No, it the conjunction to Venus the Trine to Jupiter. I don't think it's going to be that heavy, but anyway, but now we're going to talk about Mars square Uranus.
Bianca Selene
Great. Yeah, all I got from that story Adam was swollen feet. But thank you for that. But, um, yeah, so we coming up to right around the same time as as Mercury stations retrograde. We got this Mars in Aquarius, squaring Uranus in Taurus, at the 27th degree. And and I was, I was thinking here under this transit, and I was really inspired by some of your, your earlier episodes on Mars in Aquarius, when it was coming up to the conjunction with Pluto, but Just around the sphere, and how it wants us to define safety and belonging or or there's moral clarity by naming an enemy.
And so action can sometimes feel very urgent, because uncertainty is now intolerable, and even myths warn us of this trap. And I think of Oedipus with a prophecy predicted he would kill his father, and so his parents acted preemptively by abandoning him to die. This child innocent and is treated as a threat because of what might happen, and in trying to prevent danger, they it actually ensures that it unfolds.
And this Mars square Uranus operates in a similar way perceiving threats. Perceived threats become enemies before harm even exists and power is projected outwardly and feels strong. But then there's a lack of empathy, this inability to recognize humanity. It's lost. And so the danger, there's this is danger where we get ideology, differing ideologies in the mix. So activism without compassion often reproduces the very violence it claims to oppose, like scapegoat rituals, revolutionary purges or preemptive persecutions, all follow this pattern of fear of disruption, acted on in the name of protection ends up creating chaos it sought to prevent.
And the tragedy is that systems which act violently to preserve themselves so often leave behind fractured communities, shame, inherited trauma. It was a few years ago, a couple years ago, not too long, I was on a podcast with a friend, and we spoke with a trauma therapist from Germany. She was a woman in her 60s. She'd lived a very long and fulfilling life, and she she's seen the chaos and the pain that has echoed through the generations in Germany.
So she spoke about how intergenerational trauma has affected the German people, and like not only Germany, but also we see this in anyone who's gone to war to protect their nation, they return changed. It's like the cost of violence is always paid through the nervous system. And so the hopeful truth here is, is that what is carried can also be held differently.
When pain is met with understanding instead of fear, when stories are shared. We've been there's this theme, starting with the Leo Full Moon earlier this month of February, where to share our story, to have that individuality, to be heard, to have voice our opinion and and be heard. So when stories are shared, rather than being silenced, something loosens and and healing doesn't erase what's happened in the past, but there is an interruption that happens, and no matter how small that interruption ensures that the future begins to change.
So in summary, this Mars square Uranus is summarized in my mind as when action is driven by fear, it fractures the future. When action is tempered by awareness, it becomes liberating. And I don't mean to stand here and be all self righteous about it, because I don't. Stand. There is a lot of chaos and tragedy going on in the world around around me, and I just but I do feel like it's important to not be fearful in speaking up in how we're seeing things play out, because again, this is courage in speaking and and sharing a perspective, right without being shut down for it.
So it's a very, very, it's just a very sensitive time all around for, for, for many countries. Yeah, that's what I have to say about that Mars square Uranus.
Adam Elenbaas
You know, I, I was thinking recently about I was having a conversation with someone in my life who really doesn't spend a lot of time on social media and doesn't know a lot about what I encounter with a public platform day after day. And they said, Well, I know you have your own beliefs and views, and you vote in alignment with those things, and so on and so forth.
So, you know, I guess I'm surprised that that wouldn't play more of a role. And I had to explain, Well, there's this thing called mundane astrology, and there's this thing, you know, and there's these different types of astrology. And then I said, but even more importantly to me, it's not even so much that I don't want to cover politics as much as it is that I don't want to cover them on social media.
I don't want to engage with these topics in spaces that I have recognized as unsafe and inherently violent, and that's something that actually more and more people may be starting to see and agree upon, which is that it's not even it's I think a lot of people start by saying I'm not political, But what they actually mean is I'm not political on social media, yeah, because they find the attempts to share discourse in those spaces to be unsafe, unwell, insane, divisive, and that's different from someone saying I'm not political, but I Don't think we've quite figured out how to express that, because to say that in any kind of social media forum in response is to engage in the exact same thing.
So a lot of people just say, I'm not I'm not political. It's not really what they mean. Well, I think what a lot of people mean is, I'm not talking about this in any of the spaces that other people are are that I consider to be like a gladiator's arena, and I am not engaging in those spaces. But I think a lot of people may be starting to realize actually I am political, but I'm not I. I'm realizing that I don't want to be involved in a certain kind of arena of discourse that is a radical, actually, process of unconscious material coming to consciousness in the collective with respect to what technology has been doing to us, not we've been doing it to ourselves in a way too.
But, and I'm wondering about all of this while Mars in Aquarius hits Uranus in Taurus, because collective understanding of how the body and the nervous system is affected by technology and by different kinds of social engagements with technology is something that this eclipse could speak to as well, with the square to Uranus in Taurus, and that Mars could speak to as well.
And that might be a good thing, because, you know, right now, if you asked me, you know, would I let my kids, seven and 10 years old? You know, I'm not letting them have a phone yet. You know, I'm not letting, like, no, absolutely not. Because I know that their exposure to that level of anger, rage, and the way that the algorithm is driven to like.
It's really funny, because, you know, my wife started getting really engaged with things that were happening in Minnesota, and she doesn't frequently share active things, you know, and she started getting constantly bombarded with people she didn't know, not on her friends list, engaging with her posts. And I was like, well, that's the algorithm, sweetheart. You don't usually post about political things. You've been getting more engaged because we live in Minneapolis and you're concerned, and the algorithm will drive people to engage with your posts that they know post about things that are contrary.
This is because it's what sells, and it gets clicks, and it gets people addicted, because they start thinking about their safety, and they start scrolling and checking the news and everything else. In part because you want to be informed, but in part because you're going is my safe. Is it okay? Is there anything happening? Is there anything being said? Is there any you know, and I. I have three posts in three different forums right now that we're in the middle of a debate, has someone attacked me? I better go check. I better.
Anyway, the point, I don't mean to oversimplify, but the point is that the discourse arena, in our awareness of it, is something we shouldn't forget, that we're only, you know, we've had the internet for 25 years, 30 years in most of our lives. That's not a long period of time. And the rapid amount of social media, in a way that it's been developing, is also relatively new. AI is advancing really quickly. Algorithms are changing all the time.
It wouldn't be surprising this year, especially with Uranus and Pluto trining, to have a little bit more awareness of how discourse spaces are contributing positively or negatively to our experience of each other. Anyway. Had some good tirades today. Let's go to the last one, which is sweet. We'll end on a sweet note, which is Mercury conjunct Venus. I think that's a good place to end on well, and it
Courtney Chandrea
follows everything that both you and Bianca were just talking about in terms of these greater themes of the month, and like this burgeoning awareness around all of these emotional realities that are simmering beneath the surface, and how do we bring them to the fore and engage with them more intentionally and consciously? Because, like, yes, we have this mercury retrograding in exile and Pisces, but in sweeps Venus, exalted Venus to conjoin and just adding a little bit of further testimony.
Am I do? I get it right? Yeah. Right? I'm looking at the moon. So the moon, if, if, maybe, if, we're a little closer to the exact the moon has like,
Adam Elenbaas
is this what you're looking for? Yes, yeah, perfect. Sorry. I figured,
Courtney Chandrea
yep, the moon, while they're making this conjunction the moon is passing through a Trine in her domicile in Cancer. And so we have this, this difficult placement for Mercury, but we have these two feminine embodied planets, like in their watery, like Happy Places, coming in and supporting Mercury and pointing out to Mercury, perhaps the ways in which the body communicates, you know, we have tone of voice, the way the body talks, the things that the body knows that may not have been able to have been articulated or even thought of on on a conscious level, are Perhaps now being brought to the fore and really cemented and like deepened in our ability to engage with these more consciously.
Adam Elenbaas
Love that, yeah, there's nothing like, oh, sorry. Let me get this here, and I'm going to take the screen down because we've reached the end of our coverage for the month. But, yeah, there's nothing like empathy, sensitivity, sweetness, compassion, for, you know, the mind. And that is one thing that Mercury in Pisces frequently brings. It says, you know, it was said, we have the meeting of the opposites, right? Mercury exalted in Virgo, Venus in Pisces.
They're fallen in each other's signs, the fallen Mercury is with the exalted Venus. There are spaces where I find myself nervously. I don't know like trying to explain something or rationalize something or control something with my brain. And one of the things my wife is a double Taurus, is really good at doing, is she'll just put her hands on me while I'm doing it, and I'll realize, Oh, I see what you're doing.
Real clever here. And because it just soothes me. And immediately when she touches me, I just go like, Oh, okay. And I start calming down. And then I realize, like, she is just using her feminine magic. And she is literally just chilling my brain out and and, you know, it's so it's so simple, but I forget, because the I think the masculine in general, I may be speaking in an unfair stereotype here, but I think the masculine in general can get it's very airy.
It's like a masculine Air sign, like we can get really heady about things. And sometimes what the mind needs most is to just be touched, the empathy, the compassion, the sensitivity, the sweetness, and then the mind relaxes. Now, I mean, if you touch the mind with alcohol or with heroin, that same kind of connection is a little different, in which case we need that rational mind to come in and say, hey, you know, like, let's be rational here. Let's be clear.
But I think for a lot of us, we're going to experience, given the intense amount of air in Aquarius and the fire, we're going to experience that Mercury as a soothing, calming of the mind, which is probably going to feel very healing for a lot of us. So you feel, you're gonna feel the mothers, the Goddesses, wherever they are. You're gonna feel them just put their hands on our shoulders, and they're just gonna be like, as they're listening, and you're just gonna go, oh,
Bianca Selene
there's nothing like human touch. Honestly, we
Adam Elenbaas
need it true. I have a ritual every night at the end of my day, because I'm online all the time, my wife started scratching my head. Well, we will at the end of the day, we're usually relaxing, and she'll scratch the top of my head. And I don't know what it is, it's like the antenna, the nervous system, the top of the brain. She scratches that. It feels like someone's turning on a faucet and draining all this crap out of my head.
And she, she started doing it years ago. She's very intuitive like that. You know, she's always handing me like rocks and crystals stuff out of little dropper bottles of herbs. And she's, she's very magical like that. But, I mean, honestly, like, if the collective is going to rub our scalps and dose us with magical stuff and hand us some gemstones, like, what are we going to resist? Come on, that's what we need.
Shirazad
Yeah, honestly, we need each other. You know, we used to live in tribes and communities, and we live in a world that is going towards that individual, you know, individual like approach that, you know, I'm me, and I don't need people. But I think, as someone that moved across the ocean all alone and I didn't know anyone on this whole continent, I can attest to that we need each other.
And if it wasn't because of kind people that, you know, just the universe sent my way to help me, I couldn't have done it without angels in frames of humans that came my way, I couldn't have done it all by myself. So we really need each other during these times. Yeah, yeah.
Adam Elenbaas
Well, thank you. Let me before we leave today, I want to tell you how you can get in touch with these fantastic souls. I happen to be human right now, but I think we're all dolphins in a previous lifetime. Let me see here. So for Courtney, it is dream the wilderness on Instagram at dream the wilderness. And then dream the wilderness.substack.com for some amazing writing and astrological insight.
Instagram is good too. Anything else that you want to plug Courtney,
Courtney Chandrea
I would love to turn people onto the ecological functions of the science series that I'm writing. It's an ongoing series, but I'm unpacking each zodiacal sign as it operates within an ecological context. So it's a great way to, like build on empathy and like understanding how even the darkest parts of the Zodiacal expressions play vital functional roles within the ecosystem of the cosmos.
Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Let me shift over to Shirazad. Instagram is at new moon inner healing. And then you can find her on New Moon inner healing.com I'm assuming you can book readings there, yeah, yeah. And then the new YouTube is New Moon inner healing as well, right? Yes.
Shirazad
And me, Courtney and Whitney, we released a video on Saturn in 12 signs. So make sure you check it out and you check you know your Saturn sign, but that's a very comprehensive video on Saturn in ancient astrology and how it shows up in different signs. So make sure you check it out.
Bianca Selene
I'll say I watched that video, and thank you over here. And I think Courtney, you spoke to the Saturn in Scorpio. It was just like, spot on. So highly recommend that video. If you guys haven't checked it out.
Shirazad
Thank you. And the three of us that got together, we have heavy Saturn placements. So you know that we know we are speaking from experience.

Bianca is at Bianca Selene astrology on Instagram, and then it is Bianca selene.com for the website. You can book a reading there, I assume, and then YouTube that you have started with a couple other Nightlight folk, Faith meets fate. Tell us about your YouTube channel.

Yeah, so I get together with Ryan Hunt and Mindy DeGraft and we, we all. We share our stories, our experience with leaving behind a faith, transitioning through using astrology as a way of navigating a new identity. And yeah, we just just kind of, it's not too technical. We just like to get together and share about our experiences. So it's a really cool place to just be with like minded people who have gone through similar experiences.

Check that out, Faith meets fate. And I know there's a lot of people who have interfaith dialog between astrology and other faith traditions, and for someone who also kind of came out of the Christian world, still bringing parts of that Christ consciousness with me, so to speak, but the institutional allegiance is gone. I find conversations like these to be so meaningful because, yeah, there's a lot of overlap.
A lot of times we say spiritual, not religious. But there's, I think there's more of an overlap than we sometimes imagine, between religious lives that at one point we have lived, and the maybe symbolic spiritual life that we go on to live at a different phase. And the interconnections between those things explored in sensitive ways, that's what you're going to find on this channel, and I think it's a really good conversation.
Yeah, thank you. Anyway, thank you all for listening. We hope that you have a beautiful month, and remember as we go on, a lot of this sounds kind of heavy, but we're going to be showing up on the channel every day. There's going to be content that is designed to help you get through it, and you can come and you can come meditate with us every morning and take a dose of chill out if you need it.
You know that's a it's a good resource. You can check that out on the website too. That's it for today. You guys have a great month. We'll see you again next time. Bye, everyone. Goodbye.
