#352-"A Kerosene Beauty-It Burned"--Week of February 16, 2026
Sunday, 15 February, 2026
We are inside the field of the upcoming Solar Eclipse and the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, a rare pivotal week.On February 17, 2026, the Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius activates the North Node (the dragon’s head), symbolizing appetite, growth, and evolutionary pull. In myth, the nodes were imagined as a dragon: the head hungry and grasping, the tail releasing and purging. When the eclipse aligns with the North Node, desire intensifies. Restlessness increases. The future presses forward.In Aquarius, that hunger becomes collective.We grow dissatisfied with outdated systems.We feel the strain of identities that no longer fit.We sense that the status quo cannot sustain what is coming.This eclipse also squares Uranus in Taurus — the Maverick-Awakener grounded in the material world. Vision must root. Innovation must sustain life. Revolution must be embodied.This New Moon Solar Eclipse is a preview of the larger Leo–Aquarius nodal shift later this year. The story of belonging, leadership, community, and collective responsibility is only beginning.And then we widen the lens.Saturn and Neptune are moving toward their conjunction on February 20th at 0° Aries — the very first degree of the zodiac. The last time these two met at this degree was nearly 6,000 years ago, during the dawn of early written language and formal calendar systems. Humanity was naming reality. Establishing shared agreements about time, meaning, and order.We are standing at a similar threshold.Saturn (structure, law, accountability) meets Neptune (vision, dissolution, transcendence). Together, they reset the boundary between what is real and what is imagined.We are renegotiating reality.Collectively, this may show up as institutions dissolving or restructuring, illusions surfacing, and new definitions of identity and authority emerging.Personally, this week may bring:Dissatisfaction without a clear replacementA call to build something meaningfulA quiet recognition that an old agreement has expiredA hunger for the future that must be guided with maturityThis is not a week for impulsive action.It is a week for orientation.Nearly 6,000 years ago, humans were deciding how to name the world.What are we naming now?Something is being written again.And you are not outside that story.Reflection Questions:Where in my life am I being asked to renegotiate what is “real” — based on lived truth rather than habit or fear? (Notice where old assumptions no longer fit, even if nothing external has fully changed yet.)What am I hungry for — and is that hunger aligned with integrity or urgency? (The North Node’s appetite needs wise stewardship.)If I were naming my world anew from maturity rather than survival, what would I consciously call forward? (Think language, identity, agreements, roles.)Podcast Poem: Let Them Not Say by Jane HirshfieldSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.
