Astrology for the Soul February 18, 2026

Hola New Paradigmer!The illusion of time now speeding up,Can push me to pick up the pace.But I will stay tuned to Mother nature,Growing strong and slow with beauty and grace.☉Happy new beginning with the Aries Equinox New Moon!  As I discussed in today's report there is a WHOLE LOT GOING ON and I'm sure you're feeling it (on one level or another).  Our job, should we decide to accept it, is to not cave into external pressure and abandon our wellbeing, under some misguided crisis mentality, that it is necessary to "fight for our lives."  Fear is being perpetrated upon the collective as a means of control and it can be very effective.Rather than buy into the false narrative that someone outside of you can control your heart, mind, body, and soul, now is the time to step into our sovereign self.  It is time to claim our power as individuals, rebirth ourselves, renew ourselves, regenerative ourselves and shine our spiritual light even brighter than before!Now, in addition to this remodeling of our Self, it's important to keep in mind that we are the "salt of the earth."  We don't want to fortify and strengthen ourselves out of fear and need, but rather, as beautiful human beings naturally emerging into our mature expression.  Slow and steady wins the race, we're attuned to the natural rhythms and cycles of nature and our bodies and there is no rushing Mother Nature!  So chill, relax, don't fear, run, or try to escape, just breathe and follow your heart!  Blessed be! The song of the week is Gajumaru by Yaima  https://youtu.be/oFaYJ-Z9BYo?si=AmxIFNUzIPJUGZm2Come join me for my last scheduled retreat in the Swiss Alps this May!  There are only a few spots left:  https://newparadigmastrology.com/upcoming-events/swiss-alps-astrology-retreat-may-2026/For more information on Lucifer and Ahriman, search for them here:  https://rsarchive.org/ So Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

Hola New Paradigmers!It's hard to step back and go into me.But that's exactly what I must do.For as I let go of my old ways and means,I will emerge brand spankin' new!☉Ever feel like hibernating?  Well, now is a good time!  With retrograde Mercury conjunct the north node and Mars in Pisces, the sword of the masculine is seeking to penetrate the inner, spiritual world.  There is a lot going on for all of us right now and it is easy to slip into future tripping and reliving past events of our lives.  While a certain amount of processing is healing for the psyche, if you find yourself lost in the past or future try pulling yourself back into the now.In many ways, the only thing we can control is our thoughts, and the more awareness we have, the more we can invite our higher, soul consciousness to step in and not only accept, but be grateful for, all that life has given (and will continue to give) us.  A disciplined spiritual practice of quieting the mind will result in building an ever stronger sense of authority, control, and sovereignty.  We can only be true to ourselves when we are single minded and clear about our objectives, gifts, beauty and greatness!Pisces always calls us home to the Divine.  It offers us a more permanent sense of belonging, security, and love as we reconnect to the innocent, spiritual spark that brought us here in the first place.  This wound being worked on by Chiron conjunct Eris in Aries has been going on for years and will continue through the rest of this year, is also bringing up our fears of inadequacy, undeservedness, and lack.  It can be helpful sometimes to just say "So what? I'm a work in progress!"  Taking it easy on ourselves (and others), slowing down and accepting our "imperfections," knowing that each day offers us another opportunity to grow, expand, and love again, can really lighten the burden of trying to figure it all out, fix it, and "make things right."This is the gift of Pisces, where the Sun and Mars will be for just a little while and Mercury and the north node will be even longer.  The south node in Virgo says it's time to let go of some of that self criticism, perfectionism, and detail, so as to fully open ourselves to faith, hope, and love again.  We don't have to know everything as much as trust the flow of life to carry us downstream to our mother, the ocean and strengthen our faith in divine intervention when it comes to making decisions and taking actions.  So just "Walk On," or "Keep on Truckin'!"Grateful Dead!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSur0mFviT0So Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

Hola New Paradigmers!I can make a new beginning,Or repeat the mistakes from the past.Silence and suppress some voices within,Or integrate them all at last.☉What can I say, I've tried to not get too political with the Pele Report but kinda lost it with this last eclipse.  The thing is, however, that the message of the stars is the same!  As without, so within!  It's as clear as mud on your face, the Age of Aquarius is about "Unity in Diversity."  We're just now entering the Age of Aquarius and it will take another 50 - 100 years before we're fully "in it."  With Pluto (the force of evolution) having just entered Aquarius with the north node of the Moon also entering Aquarius July 26th, the world order (and our inner order) is getting shaken up.As I mentioned in the report, there are three responses to the evolutionary necessity presented to us in Aquarius which rebels from the existing societal norms to find new, more evolved, means of order and expression.  One is to rebel and go back, a second is to join subgroups, and a third is to go your own unique way into the unknown.  The old way is patriarchy, top down, male dominated, hierarchical, aggressiveness.  The new way is unity in diversity, expanding the container so it can include all points of view, beliefs, needs, and desires.So you see, whether it is planet earth or our own inner world, the project is the same - expand and integrate or keep doing the same.  Right now, the world order (dominated by Trump) is doing the same old same old, divide and conquer.  It is doomed to failure as it is not the path of evolution.  Likewise, we can continue to suppress some of our desires, those shadowy, "dark," really personal needs that have gone unmet cuz we're ashamed of them or they're not popular and might disturb the waters of our lives.We can use what's going on as a metaphor, we all have an Iran in us, we all have a United States, we all have a China and a Ukraine, and a Russia and on and on and on.  Our Super Ego (symbolized by the US) can try to dominate and subjugate (violently) these different "states" of ourselves and we can continue to be at war with ourselves with different "subegos" vying for control.  Or, we can invite all our demons to the table, have a council, work with our shadows, and expand our consciousness so as to not only include, but foster, love, and expand our awareness to the point of creative genius!  Let's go for the latter!For What It's Worth! https://youtu.be/TXVe2XH5rpk?si=hQgSI-8Qrhnlh4Ka Where Have All the Flowers Gone? https://youtu.be/1y2SIIeqy34?si=IActfuEUnhewfFJI So Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

Hello New Paradigmers!There is a patient, powerful wise one, Living within me, Waiting for me to ask and listen, For the guidance that will set me free. ☉Are you ready to reflect for a few (3) weeks on how to best integrate Spirit into your perhaps busy, full, challenging life?  I hope so, because the universe is open for one on one dialogue in these coming days.  It's no mistake He's turning around to go back to Rahu, the dragon's head just in time for the equinox.  It's like heaven putting a sign out "Open Now!"  If you're seeking some guidance on what to do, where to go, with who, for how long, and for what, now is the time to close your eyes and mouth and listen hard for those answers. There is no doubt that Saturn/Neptune, having now completed their third and final conjunction to begin a new 37 year cycle, ARE STARTING OFF SLOW.  Whew!  Nobody like Saturn to put a damper on things.  While world events are almost creating a smoke screen, there is still so much disillusionment to process that we need these three more weeks! While I took Saturn/Neptune through the 12 houses of your personal chart, let's remember that your chart is very complex and you may have felt some of what I said regarding a house if the conjunction is aspecting one of your planets, especially the personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) near 0 degrees of any sign.  On another note, if they are not aspecting your planets and in one of the more "hidden" houses, you may not be feeling as much deep grief as others.  Just raise your hands in thanks! All in all, this is a beautiful week to reflect, write, paint, dance, sing, or simply give thanks for being alive at this time on planet earth as together we go through the "eye of the needle" together.  Let's all remember that a smile and a twinkle in your eye at the right time in the right place can be a miracle for someone in need.  Blessings on your journey.The song for this week is, I Can See Clearly Now: https://youtu.be/MrHxhQPOO2c?si=k-hYyBD10N_lkvzFSo Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

Hello Everybody!This is a year of new beginnings,And I'm going to do it right.Not rash or brash and impulse driven,But I will consciously step into the light.☉Woah!  Sorry for the crazy Pele Report today!  Squeezed it in during lunch time in the middle of a workshop but wanted to share Steelhenge with you.  So funny, the mantra must be me speaking to myself as it's a rather rash and brash Pele Report!  However, it may also be picking up on the energy of this last eclipse which stimulated all of our nervous systems with a bolt of lightning that said "Let's go!  Now is the time!"However, if you watched last week's Pele Report I spoke of taking these next two weeks to observe yourself and ponder the best ways to bring your gifts forward into the world.  The new Moon eclipse will be followed by the full Moon lunar eclipse on March 3rd which will illuminate for us all what needs to stay, what needs to go, and what to do next to best further our soul's mission this lifetime.  It is a time of great transformation, breaking of old habitual responses to life, and connecting to our deepest heart's desire.For now, we want to pat ourselves on the back for making it through the challenging last nine months which required delving deep down inside, feeling the grief and the loss of what once sustained us and not being sure of the best way forward.  As Saturn does his final conjunction to Neptune we are being shown, not so much the illusions that we need to let go of but the dreams that we are now to manifest.  So there is a change in our dream life, our inner life, and it is important to notice.  From here on out, for the rest of the year, feel the Spirit within guiding your every move, your every choice, and go with it!This week's song is: Heart of the Sunrise:  https://youtu.be/n24-5tD8zwc?si=2jaszL1j18pyTsB7So Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

Hello Everybody!When life is crazy, uncertain and shaky,I can overreact out of fear.But if I stay still I know that I will,Hear the answers loud and clear.☉We're coming into our own doggone it!  One way or another, as painful or joyful as it may be, it's time to get it together.  And when I say get it together I am talking about our internal psyche more than our external living situation.  This is the perfect time for integrating all the facets of our character into a unique, complete whole.  We all have an inner mother, father, child, warrior, lover, magician, boss, worker, artist, politician, you name it.  These different components of our psyche have either been embraced, loved and nurtured through the years, or shamed, ignored, and left undeveloped or even wounded.In one way we could look at a life as simply putting all the pieces of ourselves back together in a balanced, individual way that reflects our "True Self."  This Solar eclipse in Aquarius will present us with unique opportunities to see exactly which ones are which, what we've been leaning on, leaving out, and/or completely unaware of.  Aquarius is all about awareness after all.  Calm, cool, objective, unattached awareness, period.Now when you throw in a square to Uranus you have sudden, perhaps shocking experiences of a physical, emotional, mental, or psychic nature that bring up hidden aspects of your personal unconscious into the light of consciousness.  These can be fantastic "Ah ha!" moments where the truth is revealed, or catastrophic collapse of "false" illusions about yourself that you have been believing.  One way or the other the truth shall show itself.  The important thing to remember that I refer to toward the end of the report is that this is not necessarily the time to decide or act upon these revelations.  Powerful emotions are at play want to be seen and felt, but could cause more chaos if acted upon.  The next two weeks leading up to the lunar eclipse will be best used to digest, integrate, heal, and prepare for action.  Patience is required but will really pay off.  This is an initiation into a higher expression of your being and not to be taken lightly.  Played right we can come out of this eclipse cycle in better health, well being, and empowered than ever before.  Go for it!Long Time Gone!  https://youtu.be/dIDzA0YDso8?si=YFizWl3UBnLr7xa0So Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

Hello Everybody!It's time for me to discover, What I am deep down inside, It's a mixture of gold, sensitive feelings and fears, Truth and beauty I can no longer hide. ☉After last week's report I couldn't stop thinking about what the chicken would be experiencing in the egg before it hatched.  Ouch!  It's got a momma hen sitting on it keeping it warm/hot, so it's cooking in there in the dark and getting denser and denser and denser until it can't take it anymore.  Then bang!  Crack! Blazing light, cold air, and nothing to hold onto.This is a pretty good metaphor for Mercury and Venus squaring Uranus, the god of lightning.  As I mentioned in today's report, the sudden eruption of unconscious desires, needs, fears, creative genius, and unique personal gifts come suddenly upon the ego who is just trying to "make it" in 3D reality.  The bursts that will be coming this week will prompt us to break free of limiting circumstances.  This is a good thing to keep in mind.  Because if we don't cease these opportunities they may also be experienced as "accidents" that suddenly disrupt our plans/lives.The classic warning with these aspects is to stay calm, not overreact, think before you speak radical, extreme feelings/thoughts, and don't make any rash long term decisions.  Rather, take it all in, let it all come up, knowing that there is deep truth being exposed for you to inquire into and grow from.I'm sure the chicken is shocked, when, after a long period of time existing under pressure, suddenly the egg cracks and he is free.  This liberation, which will be coming toward the end of the month, may be disorienting and confusing.  However, with the aspects this week we may get a glimpse of what is possible because Uranus rules the future.  Let's keep our eyes and ears wide open and our consciousness ever present for both the subtle and extreme events that, comfortable or not, are catalysts for our future evolution.  We got this!After turning off the camera another song for the week came to me.  This one is by the Animals, and yes, it's an oldie but a goodie.  "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"  https://youtu.be/_2sz_YwwwQ4?si=VkAHj5AqLIZbDGJ1And "Go Your Own Way"  https://youtu.be/ozl3L9fhKtE?si=HXkYg1TtyAlKnIS8So Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

Hello Out There! Wisdom, Love, and Compassion, Often come through a lot of pain. My walls have to crumble for my pride to be humbled, Before my light can shine bright again. ☉So, after turning off the camera and walking back to the car, I got to feeling that pain is a precursor, or an initiation into, a greater Self. We most often feel pain from things we cannot prevent, figure out, or fix. It disturbs us deeply and hurts so much that we need to stop, look at it, feel it, and break from our ordinary, daily routine, identity, role, etc. We can go down the rabbit hole into despair or use the pain as an indicator, a red flag, showing us where to look, what to change, what more to feel. If we sit with ourselves long enough to become more clear about what it is that hurts, what we're missing, lacking, needing, etc. we can look at our lives, relationships, family, friends and more to CREATE NEW SOLUTIONS. We can rid ourselves of unfulfilling, dead end relationships, jobs, careers, distractions, behaviors, fears, habits etc. and manifest new means of expressing ourselves through words, acts, relationships and more. This is basically a re-birthing of a new Self! A metaphor came to me with regard to what came first, the chicken or the egg... well, maybe it was a baby chicken trying to get out of the egg! Can you imagine how painful it would be to be growing inside of a hard hard shell, getting pressured and squeezed, and crushed with nothing you can do about it? OUCH! The chicken could definitely feel that he was being punished by God, eh? And then, finally, he grows so big that the frickin' egg just cracks. He would then feel like his whole world was breaking down/open, be blown away, scared, even terrified. IN TIME, he dries off (thank god for the Sun), flaps his wings, gets up and walks, and starts a new life. Whew, what a process! We got this! This week's song, Mercy Now: https://youtu.be/IT7NiFpJmvI?si=d39kqK4b4q3_OGrASo Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

If I’m going to live a bigger life,It’s going to take some work.Not only must I face my fear,But go out into the world.☉Hola New Paradigmers! OK, I didn’t have time to break it down.  Let’s look at the two week stretch from the 15th to February 1st, the last two weeks of January.  During this time all the personal planets transit Pluto, basically dying, going down into the void of emptiness, transforming, and resurrecting anew.  This is usually a long, slow, most often painful process of life confronting us with our own (and others) “messed upness,” breaking down our walls in order to accept that we don’t know it all and don’t have it all together, and then picking up the pieces and starting all over again (Hey!  That’s another good song!). While this is normally a long slow process, in these two week’s we get the fast food version of it and clean up our s**t real fast (at least see it if we don’t clean it up).  We can start with the Moon as she moves the fastest and was conjunct Pluto exact last Sunday.  A time of deep deep house cleaning, family cleaning, cleaning up the past.  Where breakdowns lead to rebuilds, lead to truth being seen if not spoken and the underbelly of the beast being shown.  All this leads to a possible emotional rebirth where your inner child gets better integrated with your adult self. Mercury, exact Thursday, DEEP thinking, analyzing, reviewing, and possibly, due to TMI, mental breakdown/overwhelm.  “I can’t figure this out!”  The dragon is too big to be tamed with our little ego, it’s emotional, psychic, spiritual, we’re lost.  Reason doesn’t work so our words can be biting, emotionally driven, or heated.  We have to consciously be gentle with our words both to others and ourselves and stay in integrity, not stooping or lowering our moral standards, hiding, lying, covertly manipulating but staying above board, open and honest (perhaps even in the face of others dishonesty). Venus, Monday the 19th.  Break your heart open, break your heart down.  Whether it’s relationships, what you value the most, or comes through a financial crisis to help you determine just what you value the most, our comfort takes a hit.  This is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.  I don’t want to feel this, I don’t want to know/experience/live this way, with this person, or with myself, or in this role, anymore.  We get confronted perhaps with the worst and most ugly part(s) of ourselves, others, or life JUST SO WE CAN LEARN TO LOVE IT ALL.  But it can be a bitter pill to swallow! Sun, today, the 21st.  It’s like an eclipse where you get swallowed and taken without your consent down into the darkest realms of yourself and the world.  “Where the Sun don’t shine.”  It’s scary down there with the rats and spiders, you could get bit, you wanna protect yourself, but it’s time for you to face yourself, your whole self, naked.  Get over yourself, the old one that is, and wake up to your inner truth, stop faking it, get real, stand up for yourself, get tough!  But not too tough, not your low down dirty rotten self that will stoop too low to get what it wants.  Your highest self that will compromise instead of coerce and unite rather than dynamite.Mars, coming Tuesday the 27th.  The old version of the masculine, the I, me, my, the boss, the conqueror, the tough guy, hard as nails, the champion, the “I don’t give a damn” kinda guy (IN ALL OF US) comes up and out to fight.  And loses.  And if it/we don’t lose the battle they/we will lose the war ‘cuz we’re coming from an immature, wounded place of separation, polarization, and opposites.  It’s time to grow up into the divine masculine and get over the ego assertion, goal orientation, and personal agendas and get to work for the whole.  We need to get over ourselves and out of our own way.  Good luck and go for it!Song for the week: Any Major Dude!  https://youtu.be/NkkM5XTCk1A?si=3yUzjA-YtA3WupwsSo Much Love,Kaypacha

I commit to changing my life, Before it changes me. My greatest excitement and deepest passion, Is the fuel that will set me free. ☉Hola New Paradigmers! Mother nature is such a teacher.  I sat on the bank and watched the river flow after finishing Pele. First I saw a floating branch slowly making its way upstream, caught in an eddy. Yes, in the river of life there are eddies and if we're not careful we can get caught in them and go around and around and around getting nowhere. All the while the "river of life" is right there next to us taking everything downstream! Next, I saw a duck swimming up the rapids. I wondered if he was having "fun." One way or the other, he was PUTTING FORTH EFFORT. There are places in the river (times in life) where the river widens, it's called flat water. In the flat water you have to either swim harder or paddle harder if you want to get anywhere. Other times there are rapids where you just kick back and let the river take you. Just like the river of life there are times when we can kick back and times when we have to swim hard. Oh yeah, the third... RAPIDS! I feel like we're coming out of some flat water, it's starting to speed up and we're entering the rapids. In rapids it's not about just floating or swimming, it's more about precision navigating. We've got to be on top of our game, alert, ready to kick, push, back paddle, you name it. If we've done it before and have some experience it is a lot easier and can even be a fun, wild ride. If not, there's not much time to learn and we best give it all we've got, hope and pray, breathe, and try not to swallow too much water. We'll make it, some with more bumps than others, some that can help others, and some that can't wait to do it again. Since we're all here together on planet earth at this time, I think we're the latter. Blessings on your swim! Court of the Crimson King: https://youtu.be/lrsW--Sh7YE?si=Jm_KLXqJnYBY3zPjSo Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?
