Cosmic Update: "Collective Shockwave": The ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE at 28°50′ Aquarius, Tuesday 17 February 2026, 12:01 UTC ......The annular solar eclipse occurs on February 17, with the full, 2-minute "ring of fire" phase visible only from a remote, 383-mile-stretch across western Antarctica/Davis Sea. Ang Stoic Feb 16, 2026 "The fact that this eclipse is annular rather than partial or total carries its own specific weight. Partial eclipses merely graze the edge of change; hints, warnings, peripheral disruptions. Total eclipses black out the Sun completely, plunging everything into obliterating darkness so something entirely new can emerge. But annular eclipses leave a ring of fire visible around the darkened disc. The old vision remains in place, but now you can see its edges, its limits, the luminant forces that encircle it. We are still operating inside the system, the social contract, the network, but the system is no longer invisible. Its borders are incandescent. Its terms are exposed. The cost of remaining grows unbearable whilst the exit remains unclear. And given that all three North Node Aquarius Solar Eclipses (2026/2027/2028) will be annular, this suggests a prolonged period where the Aquarian vision persists whilst being systematically dismantled from within. The platforms keep running. "

From this months Ang Stoic "Greetings, fellow travellers, We are, without question, living through epic times. Somewhere in your bones, you already know it, even if the mind keeps dithering for reasons to look away. Even you zoomers, those of you too young to remember anything different, can feel the massive cogs crunching: the tectonic quality of this moment, the shaky ground shifting beneath serpentine power structures that swore they would loom over us eternally, the slow-dawning recognition that the world you inherited was pre-distorted to ensnare you into a fail before you drew your first breath. I’ll be honest, this public newsletter has been difficult to write. By the time you read it, I’ll be relieved to have it out and to stay offline for a while. The past couple of weeks have been heavy on the soul, but I needed to steady myself and show up with a report. This is a distinctly awful pressure point for all humanity, and it matters that we keep pushing through till we get to the other side. " xxxxxxxx "For a start, be cool. Stop trying to keep up. You cannot. Nobody is keeping up. It isn’t possible. Even the people who look like they are winning are merely better at faking it in the face of its wholesale spiralling disintegration. Find things that carry weight. Nature carries weight. Physical bodies carry weight. A conversation where nobody looks at a screen for an hour carries weight. These are the things that do not glitch when the signal gets weak. " XXXX and XXXX "Act small. Act real. Act local. Determine which behaviour most aligns with your life and your stated values, and do it daily. Stick to a code, live it. Saturn-Neptune in Aries wants a principle you (and only you) can enact; a platitude to recite will no longer do—others will see right through your shit, it will induce them to strike against you. Reduce fragility. Build on areas of redundancy. Ensure you possess fewer points of failure. Less dependence on one person, one income stream, one plan, one story. Make sure you know how to do something useful besides scroll that stupid phone for hours. Can you fix a fence? Can you grow food? Do you know the people on your block? Will you have each other’s backs when things come apart? And ffs, stop looking for a hero. History shows that those figures usually burn more of the house down tying to keep themselves warm. The hero of the Aquarian age is the boring, gruelling work of small groups of people deciding to act with integrity when it would be easier to act a slimy snake in the grass. For now, let the silence happen. And remember to take special care of yourself. Hopefully, you hold it together till spring. " Full article here.
