The real love coming in February

Something big is approaching and I don't mean Valentine's Day. I'm talking about the Total Solar Eclipse happening on February 17th. Aside from its annual appearance, this eclipse carries a special frequency in 2026. And even though we won't see it much in North America, we are still strongly impacted by its presence and energy.

What makes this February eclipse so special?

Aside from being a stellar astronomical phenomenon, this year's Total Solar Eclipse falls in the constellation of Aquarius to bring a potent vibe of new beginnings and a buzz of compassion to the table. It awakens a desire for community, collaboration, and creative visioning for social progress and growth. Technology lights up but not in the old corrosive forms. This is about unitive connecting that strengthens collective cohesion.

People are tired of ego-driven, phony, misleading, self-serving human forms. We crave authentic connection and value integrity. We want truth and mutual respect. We long for safety and peace. A desire for emotional maturity and spiritual growth is spreading across the planet in the collective.

It's not rocket science. We are not physically designed to tolerate ongoing tension, stress, and trauma. Our nervous system can only manage so much dysregulation before it crashes. With most of us stuck in "fight or flight" mode from years of reactionary social media, monetized opinion-pushing and divisive news on the daily, we have reached our outer limits.

This Total Solar Eclipse in Aquarius provides an energetic wave we can ride like a surf board to better, more unitive and collectively fun times as humans sharing Life on this Planet Earth. It's an opportunity to shift our focus away from⎯and pull our energy out of⎯the shit show we're in now. It's an opening for humans to align with something greater, something harmonizing, sacred and wholly uplifting, what our soul truly craves: authentic connection and a real "love" of each other as a human family.

So by all means, grab some fancy chocolates, wine and roses. Cue up your favorite music or movie. Do your thing on Valentine's Day as a warm up for the real special event in February⎯the Total Solar Eclipse. Mark it on your calendar and make it a priority to give it space, to give yourself space to drop into its vibe, embrace the release of "heavy," and immerse into the real love vibe it delivers.

Remember that if we change nothing, nothing changes.
