How will you invest your life force in the new reality? Cosmic Wisdom with Kristine and Emily
Fri Feb 06 2026
Friend, mentor and sister astrologer Emily Trinkaus and I had a lively conversation about the astrological alignments of the moment on The Natural Wisdom Podcast.
This month, February, brings us the most significant planetary combination since 2020: the conjunction of Saturn (reality, structure) and Neptune (dreams, dissolution). The transition from Piscean energy to that of Aries feels, at the moment, like the “end of the end” prior to emergence of the new.
We offered our best advice on how to navigate these times gracefully:
* The rebirth we are undergoing at the moment is happening in three phases;
* We are undergoing a sea change around how we understand and wield our personal power;
* How you invest your life force has immense implications for the long term, both for you and for all of us;
* Mercury’s retrograde in Pisces, which last happened in March of 2020, supports us to listen more deeply to our intuition rather than try to figure out what’s going on;
* The Aquarius Solar Eclipse and the Virgo Total Lunar Eclipse, and the final months of the Lunar Nodes in Pisces and Virgo remind us to own our selves and our bodies; stay tuned in to the here and now while also envisioning the future we want to see.
Emily is leading a six week workshop series on aspects in astrology, beginning on February 20.
Kristine is offering a free workshop on Saturn as your spiritual ally and truth-teller of your soul next Friday, February 13th.
