Astrology for the Soul January 14, 2026

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?

Happy 2026! 2026 is asking me, To be bigger than I was before. I know that if I step it up, I can master even more. Stepping up is easier said than done sometimes, but looking back we're often glad we did.  It's the kind of energy that heroes and heroines are made of, now isn't it?  There's an energy that comes from somewhere deep down within, like a call or inner demand, "Go! Do it!"  Most often heroes and heroines are made in an instant.  It's not thought out, planned, or strategized.  There's usually some emergency and something prompts them to put their own safety and security aside in order to show up for another or many. Very often, it's over almost as fast as it began. But here, this month and this year, we're being called to step up, show up, give up some of our old selves, old ways, and old ideas, to be present for others and the future. It's a big task! However, like I say in today's report, we're ready and able even if we don't know it consciously. Life (or our soul) can "put" us in situations to show us just how "big" we are, how much we can handle, and how creative we can be.Ya gotta love that feeling when you amaze yourself with something that you've done. You surprise yourself or other people surprise you because they didn't know you had it in you to accomplish this, that or the other thing. So this week, when you're presented with one opportunity or another to be bigger than you think you are, take it! Puff up, step up, take a deep breath and show up for another and the world in a whole new way. You'll be glad you did! This week's song is "Under Pressure:" https://youtu.be/WsuBBd9W4hk?si=woenVp_rMGFVrYGESo Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

I am the captain on this journey called life,I’ve sailed through storms, struggles and strife.I protect my passengers, cargo and crew,What’s best for them is what I will do.☉Sawasdeeka New Paradigmers!All aboard!  The mighty vessel, 2026, is leaving the harbor of 2025 and the past behind.  It’s time to decide what comes and what goes, who and what stays behind and what’s essential for the journey ahead.  It’s time for, drum roll please, you guessed it, CAPRICORN. It’s interesting that the Sabian symbols for both the Sun and Full Moon have to do with what is permanent (truth) while Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, has dominion over this temporary, physical, third dimensional realm.  The big word that comes to me for Capricorn is RIGHT.  Right versus wrong, right action, right thought, righteousness, inalienable rights, etc.  When in doubt, or whenever we need to make a decision, it would seem the obvious choice is simply to do what’s right. Right? Sometimes it’s hard to determine what’s right.  However, in the case of Capricorn (and these times) what’s right is based upon what’s best for the whole, the group, the community, those people and things that we have taken responsibility for, and our DUTY.  Some duties we have taken on voluntarily and committed to (another keyword for Saturn/Capricorn) while others have simply been given to us, hence the association of this archetype with “karma.”  One way or the other, as we move through life, we end up with responsibilities toward others and the outside world (financial comes to mind here too) and these increase as we get older.  But, no matter how old we are, we have decisions to make, and these first two months of 2026 will be full of big ones for many of us.  It’s probably important to keep in mind here that not making a decision is a decision!  When in doubt, CHOOSE, you cannot make a wrong choice, as when you are in your integrity you are simply doing the best you can with what you’ve got.  We’re all wounded, we’re perfectly imperfect, we’re all learning, we’re all afraid.  We come to each and every decision carrying all of these, and, RIGHT ACTION, under these circumstances, is to humbly accept ourselves and life AS IS, going on a whim and prayer that what we do will, in some way, help it.  Knowing that we’re all doing the best we can with who and what we are, our karmic past and our soul’s intentions, can not only assist us in having mercy on ourselves but having compassion for others.  Let’s all go forward together and create a happy new year! This week's song is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond!" https://youtu.be/lKJ8n8xYd-Q?si=Cs1_whVAOLi892AeSo Much Love,Kaypacha🪐 Wanna learn more?

I am a physical Spirit being, Both here now and so much more. With intention, practice, and understanding, I can open and pass through the door. ☉Sawasdeekup New Paradigmers!Join me for The Astrology of 2026! https://bit.ly/48Zlndg With Venus square Neptune in the last degree of Pisces I believe I mirrored the universal chaos going on with today’s Pele Report! Seeking for the perfect spot with the perfect background with no people… riding around from place to place until it was getting late and then having to settle for what simply was/presented itself. Acceptance of what is, which can involve letting go of the ideal, sound familiar from 2025? The microcosm mirrors the macrocosm, and in astrology one day after birth equals a year of life (secondary progression), so today mirrored 2025 pretty well for me LOL!!! Anyway, the bottom line of this week’s report, if it wasn’t clear in the report itself, is simply that we are more than the roles we play, more than we think we are, and more than the world tells us we are. Sometimes it’s easy to forget who/what we really are (evolving soul beings)! At parties, family gatherings and during the holidays it can be harder because, especially with family, people from the past don’t always know what changes you’ve gone through and can treat you like “the person they used to know.” So tempting to fall back into old identities! So yeah, not only are you not your “old self,” but you are an infinite spiritual being! Yes indeed! And this can be hard to remember sometimes too when things go wrong, bad, there’s memories or events that didn’t go our way. Hence the third line of the mantra this week: “With intention, practice, and understanding,” CAPRICORN/SATURN, yes? Commitment to our spiritual practice with an intention to grow and evolve, over time, will bring us the understanding that leads to liberation and ultimately, “enlightenment,” or Nirvana/Samadhi. Practice is continuing on through doubt, distraction, disappointment, and disillusionment, holding firmly to the goal envisioned, and MAKING IT HAPPEN. May you make it happen this holiday season.

Sawasdeeka New Paradigmers!I am virtuous,I am wise,I am mindful,I am kind.Wanna know what's coming up in 2026???  Join Sol and myself on January 4th!  Click here to signup!  https://bit.ly/48ZlndgHappy New Moon (conjunct Venus) Solstice!  What a powerful combination!  Especially so because the whole Sun/Moon/Venus stellium is square Saturn/Neptune in late Pisces just before heading into the cold, white north of old man Capricorn.  For some reason I have always had this picture in my mind for Capricorn of a wise old man (like Gandalf) with a long white beard, holding a staff, and standing in the snow somewhere.  Well, as you will hear in this week's Pele report I wish there was a Gandalf around these days but don't see anyone like him anywhere, do you?This disillusionment (Neptune) with external authority (Saturn for many) may very well be part of the grand plan for humanity to finally get the idea that they need to develop their (our) own authority within.  What better way than to have a bunch of dufuses (an old word from childhood but I hope you get the idea) running the show!  When we can't trust those in authority we are uncomfortably put in a position of needing to make the call ourselves.  This is hard work, but tremendous growth for us all!  We have to do our own research, and then apply the seven virtues that I speak of in this week's report.  Mercury/Virgo       PRUDENCE (wisdom, discernment)Venus/Libra          JUSTICE (fairness, righteousness)Saturn/Capricorn  TEMPERANCE (self control, moderation)Mars/Aries            FORTITUDE (courage, strength)Jupiter/Sagittarius FATIH  (trust. devotion)Sun/Leo                HOPE (optimism, expectation)Moon/Cancer        CHARITY (love, kindness, generosity)We can ask ourselves repeatedly (especially this week and right on through to New Year's resolutions (which many are afraid to make anymore):  Is it wise and fair?  Do I have enough self control, courage, trust, optimism, love and kindness to pull it off?  Do it right?  Make it work?  If not then I have some work to do on myself to whip this life into shape baby!  Yeah!This week's song is "Are You Ready?" by Pacific Gas & Electric!  https://youtu.be/y4ZQ31O2M7Y?si=EJCAfx2klv25hktxSo Much Love, Kaypacha 🪐 Wanna learn more?

If a good friend disagrees with me,And tells me that I'm wrong,I'll be wiser if I take it in,And review it with a fine tooth comb.☉Sawasdeeka New Paradigmers,Welcome to Mars square Neptune at the final degree of Sag and Pisces respectively. While there are many paths up the mountain and we are all individuals following our own unique path, today I talk about how some paths can go in circles, dead end, or go off the mountain completely!  The path toward enlightenment can be confusing and frustrating, and even have a few traps, mines, and potholes.  Mars symbolizes straight, forward, direct motion and when he squares Neptune, the planet of multidimensional, infinite possibilities, it's time for us to bring in some discernment lest we lose our bearings.Fortunately, we have the Sun squaring Saturn, Mr. grounded and practical, and the Great Pyramid Sabian symbol for the week, telling us that the slow, well trod, traditional path of our ancestors (and our past lives) is the path of truth.  The final four signs of Sag, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces have to do with how we integrate our personal truth with that of the collective and finally, cosmic consciousness.  In other words, during this Age of Aquarius the intention is for all of us to rise together rather than each of us waking up alone,Our challenge as human beings at this time is to decipher between the true and false paths of spiritual investigation that Rudolf Steiner spoke of 100 years ago.  This week's mantra may need further clarifying as there are so many today that are waking up as individuals, and, feeling no longer understood by family and friends, are "looking for their tribe of like-minded souls."  This week's mantra therefore, has to be contextualized so as to refer to those like-minded souls who DO understand us and either have or are going through an awakening process themselves.  By "friends," here I am not referring to anyone on the street but those who really know/see us..  Getting together, sharing, listening, and contemplating the feedback we are given from good friends is the best means of seeing our projections, fantasies, and self-delusions which is exactly what is happening for us all on planet earth at this time.  If we have the courage to humbly admit we hoped for or expected more than was possible, either of ourselves or others or the world, we can lower the bar, come down to the ground, and start next year from a solid base rather than blowing in the wind.  Let's get real together!"Did you miss me when you were looking for yourself out there?"

I can follow the teachers and read all the posts, Do asanas ‘til I’m all tired out. But until I sit still, close my eyes and breathe, I won’t know what it’s all about. ☉Namaste New Paradigmers!After recording this week's report today I changed the mantra from “yoga” to “asanas.” I did this because there are actually eight limbs (branches) of yoga, and I am specifically referring to “asanas,” which are the postures commonly used in Hatha yoga, the most popular form of yoga in the “west.” I’m saying this because, fundamentally, yogic asanas are/were intended to prepare the body to meditate. However, as yoga has become almost a fashion (show) in the west it is now done like exercise without meditating at all! This fits right in with what I discuss today as the west being more yang/masculine/action/external while the east is more yin/feminine/being/internal. As such, it may do westerners well to “go east,” and easterners well to “go west!” We’re really just talking about balance, like day/night, Aries/Libra, Taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sag etc. The closer we get to center when balancing these polarities, the closer to “enlightenment” I believe we are. Let’s do it! No matter what, I just hope that this week you can take some time out to empty your brain a little, enter the "void," and let that void be filled with cosmic love and light! We have this beautiful kite formation with Mercury at the tail (release point), so it's a great time for revelation, inspiration, creative downloads, communication, and sharing all that comes through your meditations. We don't need to go "out" to find Spirit as the Spirit dwells within.

☉I promise to be honest, With myself, my family and friends, For even though it may upset, We will all give thanks in the end. ☉Hola New Paradigmers!That's a good Sagittarius Sun for you, on the quest for truth, natural law, and the meaning of life. Today we have not only the Sun, but Mars conjunct Black Moon Lilith (who wants the truth, the WHOLE truth, and NOTHING BUT the truth damn it!), and Venus coming along Sunday to complete the Sag party.  I see this week as holding great potential for success and advancement in many areas of life.  Which areas of your life will be seen by looking at the houses of your natal chart where this "kite" formation falls, particularly Venus as she is the tail.  She is the planet of love and money and when she's in a grand trine with Jupiter (the great benefactor) and Saturn (business) we may all see some great good fortune!In addition to these aspects, in today's report I also discuss not only the Sabian symbol which brings up the challenges that inevitably come to those practicing radical honesty, but that Venus is also in opposition to Uranus. Oppositions to Uranus can work in a number of different ways depending on just how attuned you are to your own truth or "individuality."  If you are, then sudden opportunities and surprises can open new doors and relationships for you.  If you're not, Uranus will disrupt, shock, and upset your "little ego plans," facades, and the masks you are hiding behind.  As Uranus is at the apex of the kite, our work is to either initiate or accept radical change.  Let's go for it!Last but not least, this week we have both Mercury and Saturn stationing to go direct.  Communication, business, projects, and dreams are going to start moving forward again.  It might be slow, but, like a freight train pulling out of the station, while it may take some time to get rolling, once it is, it will be hard to stop!  If we've done our homework, reflected on where we have been, are, and want to go on a soul level, synchronicities will confirm our right choices and we'll intuitively know when, where, and how to go.  As I said in the report, the nice thing about this grand trine in water is that it supports us in relaxing, calming down, and making decisions from a more centered self.  Absolutely wonderful aspects for Thanksgiving if you're celebrating it and a great week if you're not!This week's song is "Take It Easy!"  https://youtu.be/9KQKJLELs9w?si=9xeVACIinZcx-XD9So Much Love,Kaypacha☉🪐 Wanna learn more?
