Annular Solar Eclipse and the Year of the Fire Horse - A Time of Convergence, Confluence amid Shock Waves

 

Friends, light workers, starseeds and  evolving souls, if like me you may have felt a stressful nervous energy, and a vague feeling of teetering on edge... don't let it get you down.  It is more than castles/control systems burning but  a total restructuring of our concepts. Concepts  of authority, society, financial markets, belief systems, innovations, cultural transformation, spiritual quests/spiritual awareness and dimensionality.  In other words even questioning what is real and what is fantasy ala Ai and holograms. 

Let's look at tomorrow's Annular Solar Eclipse which starts the  eclipse season.   Next we have  Total Lunar eclipse to follow on March 3rd.  From an astronomical side the  actual eclipse which is only a partial eclipse provides very little visible drama. This annular eclipse is only seen  in the South  of  Africa, South in South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Antarctica.

This eclipse lasts less than 3 minutes @ 4:12 AM PST or @ 12:12 PM UTC and is Most Visible in the the Southern Most continent Antarctica subject of much mystery in the last few years. Here is a recommended video where author Brad Olsen reveals many of those secrets.  He also discusses the truth about the 4th Reich, alien and giants alive today.  BTW there is an orbiting body  called Asteroid 2000 SG344, informally known as "Antarctica," was discovered on September 29, 2000.  This asteroid is now @ 3 Gemini  near both Sedna and Alcyone which  will accelerate our already innovative technology with Ai. 

So lets dig into the  astrology bechind the New Moon Eclipse @ 28 Aquarius 49 with the  Sun/Moon together and a midpoint  of Mars in Aquarius @ 20 degrees and Venus @ 8 Pisces.   

This psychic/clairvoyant derived Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon @ 29 Aquarius  is highly  revealing: A Butterfly Emerging from a Chrysalis 

Rudyar explains "The capacity to utterly transform the character of one's conciousness by radically  altering the structural patterns of everyday living and the types of relationships one enters upon. " Before I dig into the chart for the February 17th Eclipse New Moon lets see what is coming with the Lunar New Year  where we shed our negativity with the end of the year  of the wood snake and get ready to ride the Fire Horse. This time of confluence where  cosmic frequencies connect to the Fixed Star Scheat @ 29 Pisces 44 ( found near Neptune/Saturn @ 0 Aries, primal fire) on the left leg of the Winged Horse. Scheat represents  "Liberation" from all things oppressive in our lives so the "Fire Horse will have wings for  you to fly beyond the density of  3D in  2026. " After all with Uranus entering Gemini (Mutable Air) to be in a positive trine to Pluto  in Aquarius (Fixed Air) both sextile Neptune for the next 7 years expect collective and individual miracles to manifest!  On the shadow side Scheat is also connected to flooding and watery disasters. 

The Year of the Wood Snake is gone and all that is left is lots of shadowy skin on the ground.  Now comes the  Horse known for enthusiastic energy and independence. It likes to move forward usually quickly. When you add Fire to the Horse, the energy becomes stronger. This combination comes only once every sixty years. The last Fire Horse year was in 1966.

2026 is a year that encourages action and all  things new just like the 'historic conjunction of Saturn and Neptune at zero point Aries known as the  World Axis which I will discuss  further in my  next blog. 

Speaking of the  convergence of these events, note that with the  Lunar New Year   celebrations  lasts for fifteen days. They end with the Lantern Festival on March 3, 2026 which coincides with the Total Lunar Ecliipse in Virgo (ruler Mercury - conciousness). On this night, lanterns light up the streets. The first full moon of the year for this lunar calender shines in the sky as a blood moon @ 12 Virgo 54 opposing the Sun @ 12 Pisces 54 (ruler Neptune- disolution).  At that time, Mars will have moved into Pisces conjunct asteroid Atlantis having moved from Aquarius into a more compasionate/psychic place.  Expect psychics, spiritual channelers and mediums to talk about Atlantis and our technological society's connections ad nauseum.  Mercury will be  retrograde and we may have to review,  retreat and reflect on what  has sped up in our  lives and the collective since the Solar Eclipse and the advent of Ai's domination.  

Now  let's examine the chart set  for the New Moon at the last degrees and 3rd decant of Aquarius. Decants are 10 degree sub-divisions. The 3rd decant is  the area dedicated to spirituality as  opposed to  the 2nd decant which is more mental.  As usual I  set the chart for the time  of the new moon @ 4:01 AM PST in Salem, Oregon the Willamette Valley known for Brews (whether it be white wines, craft beer or cider), Blueberries blooming profusely and a certain Generational Bravado which is amplified by the culture of the keep it weird PNW.  

So let's examine this rather busy chart with Sagittarius rising @ 29 degrees on the critical anaretic degree associated with themes of  adventure, freedom, breaking boundaries and truth telling. Ruler -Jupiter is at 15 degrees Cancer in the  7th house of partners, relationships and at times open enemies and is opposing the dwarf planet Quaoar (Native American diety of creation) from the Kuiper Belt.

Quaoar is the higher octave of Jupiter and represents smart luck motivated by spirit vs just expansion of opportunities.  Quaoar is with in 5 degrees of asteroid Juno relating to couples in a more practical  marriage.  As I have mentioned  before Quaoar is about helping us to bring spirit into matter on the mundane level most notably with birds from crows to ducks, frogs, bears. All types of living nature and the use of songs and dances of cultural or spiritual origin, harmony, syncopation, rhythm. Even though the Indians who worshipped Quaoar were from S. California, I am getting that with Jupiter retrograde in Cancer relating to ancient cultures there could be an important archeological discovery  in  the Williamette Valley dealing with an older Native American tribe...

Chart below: 

Now we will unpack some of the major aspects in the chart above.  First  is the  focus on the busy 2nd house of  $ with a preponderace of  Aquarian energy - ruled by Uranus found in the 5th house and near the dreaded star Algol.   This renowned star, located in the Perseus constellation within the Taurus constellation, is believed to symbolize the focal point of Medusa’s head, also known as her third eye, and has a strong association with her myth.  You may remember that  after Perseus severed Medusa’s head, he presented it to Athena, who wielded it in combat. Pictured as a Gorgon with a head full of snakes - the year of the snake is over symbolically,

Algol, commonly known as the Blinking Eye of the Demon, is associated with negative aspects such as decapitation ala Perseus or evil, suffering, pain, death, leaders falling from power intoxication, and tragedy.  

Greek scientists  told of how Algol shone brightly in the night sky, seemingly vanishing and then reemerging. Perhaps our ancestors possessed a deeper understanding of celestial phenomena. Now  modern knowledge reveals that Algol’s periodic disappearance is a result of its binary nature, with one star eclipsing the other every few days.

The Eclipse + Aquarius Stellium in the 2nd House

(Vesta, Mars, Chariklo, Atlantis tightly packed near the Sun/Moon)

What this really means:

This eclipse puts a spotlight on money, self-worth, survival systems, and what people depend on—but in an Aquarian way, meaning:

• Old financial models, value systems, or ownership structures of the ruling elite no longer work

• There is anger, urgency, and activism around resources Memories of the greed, selfish attitudes and dangersous technologies that help sink Atlantis are urging the collective to make sweeping changes. 

• People are being pushed to redefine what is worth protecting

Mars + Vesta =
Focused anger. People are fiercely defending what they believe is essential.

Chariklo =
A need for boundaries and containment during chaos. This is about holding steady while things shake.

Atlantis =
Collapse of a system that once looked advanced or ideal—but was built on shaky ground.

Thus this eclipse triggers sudden breaks in financial systems, values, alliances, or personal security, but also ignites new models that are more ethical, collective, or future-oriented.

Now the shockwaves :  

2. Square to Uranus in Taurus near Algol (5th House)

This is the shock factor.

• Uranus brings sudden disruption which could even mean earthquakes.

• Taurus rules money, food, land, and physical stability

• Algol intensifies emotional reactions, fear, and rage

In the 5th house, this affects:

• Creative industries

• Children

• Entertainment

• Risk-taking behavior

• Speculation (markets, gambling, hype economies)

And expect “Scandals to Rock the  Entertainment / Youth-Focused Industry”

Something volatile breaks suddenly, and people react emotionally. This can look like:

• A market swings violently 

• A scandal involving creativity, children, or entertainment or gambling industries

• A rebellion against “comfort at any cost”

This is NOT SUBTLE or Nuanced. 

3. Venus + Pallas in Pisces in the 2nd House

This softens—but doesn’t cancel—the chaos.

• Venus = values, money, relationships

• Pallas = strategy, pattern recognition

• Pisces = compassion, illusion, sacrifice

People are trying to respond compassionately, but there is also confusion about:

• What is real vs. ideal

• What can be saved vs. what must be let go ?

This favors creative or humanitarian financial solutions, but warns against naïve optimism.

4. Saturn, Neptune, Lilith on Scheat in the 3rd House

This is one of the most important pieces.

The 3rd house = media, messaging, information, narratives

• Saturn = consequences

• Neptune = deception, fog, disillusionment

• Lilith = suppressed truths

• Scheat = collapse through poor judgment or ignored warnings leading to freedom

A narrative breaks down in liu of the Epstein Files and More Revelations.  Expect the Fallout to last at least 2 weeks after the Solar Eclipse and shift on the Lunar Eclipse

• Lies are exposed

• Confusion peaks

• Something said, leaked, or said out loud  cannot be taken back

This can involve:

• Media scandals

• Government or institutional messaging failures

• Information overload leading to panic or mistrust

The key theme: words have major consequences now.

5. Fire Grand Trine: Salacia (4th) – Varuna (8th) – Black Moon (11th)

This is deep emotional truth moving fast.

• Salacia (4th) = buried family or ancestral emotions released the right time

• Varuna (8th) = moral law, accountability, hidden power

• Black Moon (11th) = outsider truth, group rebellion

Long-suppressed emotional truths ignite and move through networks quickly.

This shows:

• Collective emotional reckoning

• Revelations about private or domestic matters that affect the public

• Communities rallying around truths that were once taboo

This is cleansing but intense.

6. South Node Yod to Astraea and Salacia

This is karmic, just and corrective.

• South Node in Virgo = old habits, control, over-analysis

• Astraea (1st) = justice, integrity, personal accountability

• Salacia (4th) = emotional truth relating to family and home 

Old ways of managing problems no longer work.

There’s pressure to:

• Stop micromanaging

• Face emotional reality

• Act with integrity even when uncomfortable

This is a course correction, not a punishment.

7. Makemake T-Square to Salacia and Jupiter

This is cultural pressure which will involve technology and the trickster's interference.

• Makemake (9th) = belief systems, ideology, “what we worship” is challenged  no longer hidden in plain sight 

• Jupiter in Cancer = emotional exaggeration, protectionism, defensive attitude 

• Salacia = emotional undercurrents rise up and are no longer concealed
