Hello! The Eleven is off and running. I’m very grateful for those of you who are reading, listening, and subscribing. 🩵

In this week’s audio (the written portion below is essentially a re-written up transcript, small variations and some additions) I did a quick recap of what last week seemed to be establishing for us- the new foundation from which we all are building, individually and collectively. There is both great difficulty everywhere AND so much loving connectedness around- I’m reminded with triple intensity now that for every major challenge experienced in our own lives or others, we have to look for and cultivate major gratitude and love.
All right, let’s recap where we’ve been, so you can map this big-change-time a little in your own life. Last week was chock full of electric energy: expansive, heart-opening, breakthroughs made plainly necessary and seeds of major change were planted.
Last Monday was Sun square Uranus, a day of personal breakthroughs, sudden changes, maybe some unexpected outbursts, but light came out of nowhere to illuminate new directions, new paths. Some we have no choice but to respond and adapt to- we discover we have no choice but to change.
Then, on Tuesday the 17th, we had the New Moon eclipse at 28° of Aquarius, which activated the theme “rebel with a good cause.” Our desire for freedom was highlighted. Our values around individuality were prioritized and individuality is decidedly something we know deserves to be celebrated. This eclipse likely set off sudden insights. A revolution of sorts was started in our hearts, minds, and identities- this may still be on only the felt level, but you know something is stirring and this spark will grow, and you have the sense that it will change you. I think this New Moon eclipse was setting off a six-month vision-quest-for-your-true-self. It is quite probable that radical new directions were seeded, both collectively and individually, and a new path of activism (in your personal life) can grow over the next six months. Important: we must gather our friends and allies around us, forming groups who share the same values.
And then on Wednesday, we had the Sun move into Pisces. Dreams and creativity given the stage. The question “What do I want to create?” is helped along by committing to some kind of sacred practice, connecting to Spirit. The next month is supportive for both learning to surrender and open AND establish healthy boundaries- these are two different modes, the two fishes swimming skillfully in two different directions.
Then on Friday, we ended the week with the Saturn conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries, which I spoke about in last week’s post, my first post here in The Eleven. It’s worth knowing where 0° Aries is in your natal chart, and very helpful to understand what them in your life is getting this massive activation and influx of change.
We’ve officially entered a new era, whether we know it or not. Kind of like entering a new state with radically different ways of life, but someone removed the state border signage- we might or might not know yet we are in new territory. But we definitely are and we will learn how different it truly is once we get further in and explore more.
Last week initiated a real turning point for all of us, both in our individual lives and collectively. When we look back on 2026, we will see how our illusions fell away and we created new dreams, how old realities crumbled, and we decided to create new realities with new structures. We started the hard work of stripping away the comfy barriers of our ego, seeing what maybe we were reluctant to look at or just blind to, revealing what needed healing. Each of us has been set up and supported to create something, initiate somewhere, activate a new story somehow.
I can’t overestimate how catalytic last week probably was in the timeline of each of our personal histories and, of course, our world as we know it. What I keep coming back to in this new era is this: as illusions and structures are collapsing, there is potential for coming to a place of new-found equilibrium with something in our lives. As we release what no longer works, what is no longer valid, or what we now see as false, we open to the realm of Spirit, or God, Divine intelligence. And with this new seeing, we open to a new dream.
Last week started this question in motion: What does rebuilding from scratch look like for you?
Sunday, (today as I write this) we have Venus in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer, both 15°. It’s a lovely day to enjoy being open-hearted: open to possibilities and opportunities, open to love, open and generous in the realm luck and love. No holding back. Beautiful cello music…
This coming week, we’ll have a decidedly different feeling and effect.
Last week may have caught us off guard in some ways, opened our eyes and hearts, was perhaps an overwhelming amount of energy to contain, therefore we likely let the flood of feelings and OMG-invoking impressions pass through us. This week is more mental, more thoughtful, more idea-driven.
On Tuesday, February 24, we have a First Quarter Moon in Gemini at 5°. You can look at your chart and see if this is a sensitive area for you. We all have Gemini somewhere in our charts, in our lives, meaning we are all extra curious somewhere, somehow and we all have a way we best communicate- that’s our Gemini part.
This First Quarter Moon in Gemini is a turning point that started with the New Moon in Gemini last May 27, 2025. What did you have the impulse to create last May, 9 months ago? What did you think of? What did you get curious about? Tuesday’s Moon could spark related conversations or a new branch of curiosity. New ideas may inspire you to pursue learning, writing, or speaking. The guidance is to discern what needs your attention. Treat your attention like a precious commodity. Think about where your attention is going. Is it directed? Is it diffused? Wherever your attention is going, that’s where your energy is going, period.
On Thursday, February 26th, Mercury is Retrograde at Pisces 22° until March 20th. But we are already in the shadow of it happening, so communication will likely be a little clouded and non-linear. Our thoughts and communication will drift into a dreamy space. Thoughts and feelings may blend and blur together, creating a disorienting, though tenderizing effect, a softening effect. When thoughts and feelings become one, we could experience a heightened sensitivity, an increased intuition.
This is a good week, especially near the end of the week, to check in with your loved ones, check in with your people, check in with your intuition. This is also a good week to put your attention back on spiritual practices. Creative inspiration is hovering around you, waiting to come in, waiting for your organized defenses to drop.
We are in a very watery time. Do you need more quiet time? Do you need more solitude? I would expect old emotions in this retrograde to bubble up and wash over you. Nostalgia is abundant. Old conversations may resurface and are a great opportunity to forgive what needs forgiving. If you have decisions to make, feel through them, don’t just think through them. The feelings are telling you something.
More importantly, the Piscean realm IS irrational and intangible. What’s not being said? Ask yourself this, listen for this, and speak kindly, because everyone is experiencing the same emotional opening and reopening. Don’t be surprised if words are a little difficult to grasp, perhaps it feels impossible to find the right words. As with all Mercury Retrogrades, I would just expect technological and travel glitches, and be pleasantly surprised if all ends up going smoothly.
FRIDAY 2/27
This is a go-with-the-flow week. On Friday, it seems this go-with-the-flow, more internally opened state is setting us up for the Sun conjunct the North Node in Pisces, which offers clarity and insightful illumination. I repeat: insights come from the inside. We may see a clear path- and then outside of ourselves, this clear seeing might be reflected in interesting, welcome synchronicities. The Sun conjunct the North Node in Pisces supports us in surrendering and trusting the direction of the path ultimately being carved for us by Divine intelligence, the universal force that creates and makes up everything, including us. Be receptive and compassionate to yourself and others this week. Allow life to float you like a river.
This is especially important since also happening on Friday, we have Mars square Uranus, which happens 2x a year, bringing impulsive and hot energy to the surface for us to respond to. There could be flare-ups or accidents- I’m not being alarmist. We all f—k up now and then. We all step over the line once in a while. We all have a whoopsy that turns into an OMG. To me, this Mars-Uranus meet-up can flare something in order to highlight it- it’s emphasizing: allow yourself to float down the river, but make sure your feet and legs are inside the raft. Watch for bumping into sharp things. Carry a patching kit for a potentially punctured raft. Things could escalate quickly, especially hot tempers. Stuff happens, we just do the best we can to watch out for things and do our best when we bump into a sliding glass door.
See how this works in perfect concert? First we are bathed in cool, heart-opening water so that we have a loving buffer for when things are ready to flare. We end the week with Mercury Retrograde conjunct Venus in Pisces, cooling us off after whatever flares on Friday. Mercury and Venus together help us align our head and our heart. We can be better listeners and speak up with compassion. We are better equipped to listen and speak from the wisdom of our inner voice. Over-sharing might be possible. But maybe there’s a dam that’s been holding for too long, needs to break and overflow- so it can be rebuilt to hold stronger waters going foward. There may be a flood of feelings and words somewhere... Just be mindful that the waters are ready to overflow this week and that’s perfectly OK. It’s perfectly perfect because that’s what Nature has planned for our evolution.
I found this quote which feels like it might sum up the tone of this week, by the Persian poet Hafiz:
“Every heart gets what it prays for most.”
This is the last week to receive these audio drops for free. If you find this helpful and orienting, I’d love you to join The Eleven as a paid member starting March 1. For $11/month, you’ll get weekly audio guidance like this, monthly New Moon breathwork sessions, live Q&A where you can bring your chart questions, and evolutionary astrology teaching that builds your confidence in reading your own chart.
The Eleven paid version launches March 1 at $11/month (it'll be $22 down the road, but early members get to keep the lower rate as long as they’re here). If this feels like your kind of space, I'd love to have you.
If you’d like to try the breathwork that I offered today, Sunday morning, it’s in the chat here (look for the speech bubbles in the Substack app or the word “chat” under The Eleven title- the recording is available until Wednesday. The sound balance is a little off- the music’s a little loud, and my voice is a little soft- but I think if you wear headphones, you’ll have a good experience!
I’d love you to join us here each week for the breathwork. I’m just getting going with this community space, and I’ll be bringing as much as I can into this space to share with you. I have a lot I want to do in here, just have to pace myself so it’s not overwhelming for you or for me.
Sending you all lots of love.
See you next Sunday, March 1st.
