Astrology, Tarot and More

I was sitting in the kitchen staring at the phone, feeling like my world was shattering around me, in a slow motion.  I just found out that my husband was having an affair. 

Unbeknownst to me (I was still learning astrology at that point), my natal chart - and my life - was being rocked by the power of eclipses.

This New Moon in Aquarius is also a powerful and tense Solar Eclipse! It's perfect if you feel "stuck" and need change. Just be prepared that what you're asking for might come into your life fast, but in an unexpected way.

This week brings some of the biggest astro-fireworks of 2026: a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, and the monumental Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries. 

It takes Uranus 7 years to go through a Zodiac sign.  And, at some point it will connect with your natal Sun (= potential for an overall life change) and your Venus (= potential for change in your love life and finances).  

I can't tell you how often I have clients coming in for a love reading when transiting Uranus connects with their natal chart....

Happy Valentine's Day! If you're in a relationship and want to have an early Valentine's dinner with that special someone, Feb. 10 is your day.  And if you're single and without a date on Valentine's, this year it's a blessing in disguise! 

Wow, what a month! Saturn and Neptune come together in an epochal conjunction at 0° Aries, the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius signals new areas about to be shaken up, and Mercury turns retrograde. 

Eclipses are wild cards in astrology — they electrify whatever they touch. We feel that on the collective level and on a personal level, especially if an eclipse activates your natal chart.

In 2026, the nodal axis shifts into Aquarius–Leo, with the first Aquarius eclipse arriving on February 17.

So… what can we expect?

Uranus turns direct, Mercury enters Pisces, and a lovely Opportunity Period arrives this week. From the best day of the week for your first date to the day you need to give your partner some space, this forecast will have you get ready for the week ahead. 

The first major astrological shift of the year happens this week:  Neptune re-enters Aries.  Neptune makes everything it touches seem more glamorous.  And in Aries, it's glamorizing initiative and assertiveness - but, when unchecked, this can lead to aggression and "me first, everyone else be damned".  

So make 2026 about personal agency that brings a win-win, not a win-lose! 

I love that astrology keeps us connected with the cosmic energy cycles. There is a time to plan your goals for the year and to engage with your ambitions for your life - Capricorn Season. And then, innovative, "marching to your own drummer" energies of Aquarius Season set in, asking us to consider our unique gifts and strengths that we can draw on in life. 

And, if you feel "stuck", this season offers some very helpful energies to find fresh solutions to stubborn problems. 

This week, the Sun, Mercury and Mars all move into Aquarius. Happy Birthday to my Aquarius readers! ♒💖 As the planets enter Aquarius, they make conjunctions with Pluto - all early in the week. It's a very powerful energy, helpful for setting boundaries or projecting a powerful presence.
