Duality, Shakespeare and Aquarius
Metaphysical Musings - February 2026

Oh what a tangled web we weave….Sir Walter Scott
Many personal planets will be lining up with Pluto at 3 degrees of Aquarius. In fact on 1/23, there will be 5 planets within 3 degrees of each other. When you throw Pluto in the mix it ramps up the intensity. There will be a moment when Aquarius energy will be on full display - freedom loving , the rebel, the innovator and ideally, community activism. We have reached an imbalance of self-ego focused Leo energy with Aquarian group-community needs. Pulling in 2 directions will always ask for balance in astrology, much like Leo vs. Aquarius. Duality continues to push the narrative of us vs. them, which ultimately gets us nowhere, especially in times of dire collective needs.
The breaking point has been reached now that Pluto has gained full forward movement in Aquarius. The minor trine of Pluto, Uranus and Neptune begs for energy of communication (Gemini) and leadership to respect the needs of all ( Aries), without domination. It can be done, but not without awareness of impact to the whole.
In mediation, differences can be mended by a neutral third party. It works as a focused dialogue from the finger pointing and judgement, but by this point the 2 parties in disagreement are exhausted and looking for relief. The point is that a trine or 3 outlooks will always break the dynamic of us vs. them. In astrology, a trine or 3 planets about 120 degrees from each other move in positive energy. Visualize a triangle vs. a seesaw.

“Now is the Winter of our discontent” - Richard III
I never cease to be amazed how relevant the works of Shakespeare remain meaningful in today’s world. While so many of us have basic needs met, many more do not. Our institutions are broken beyond repair. Do we become hopeless powerless creatures or can we break out and seek another path?
The exercise in the coming months will be how we focus our thoughts as elements of distraction are coming at us in record speed. Many of us are now getting nudged by AI to answer our email, type our letters, do our research and focus the endless advertising to purchase.
Neptune is entering the sign of Aries at zero degrees on 1/27. This is the initiation degree for our spirituality, consciousness and creative source. At times like these, we must search for new approaches and not slip into nostalgia for what was. The past is highly over-rated, but the feeling of comfort is very memorable.
If you have been feeling rudderless, find your true North - the path that is true for you - you are ready to fight for it , you can get the feeling of having it and no other path will deter you. As the saying goes, if you do not stand for something, you stand for nothing. By now, I hope many of you have secured some stronger boundaries, loosened the strings that may have held you back and decided to exercise that agency muscle. Start small , if needed, but the urges to break out will have more support in the coming month.

Flying above the clouds
For those on the spiritual path, especially those of you that resonate as starseeds, we are having a moment. The recent planetary energies are giving us a push to unload the birth blinders of forgetfulness. We are stepping into our true identities and remembering the gift of creativity. Regardless of the noise in our surroundings , shift gears, drop emotional triggers and begin flying above the fray. The visual of peace above the clouds comes to mind. It is my fondest memory of air travel. The separation has begun.
2026 and the coming month will begin to break the collective into different frequencies. You do get to decide which path you want to take. Courage will find new levels to simply walk away from the old world of duality and begin to really start living again, in nature, in health and as sovereign beings. No drama, just turn your heads and quietly walk away.
Quantum physics is where they hide the scientific proof of spirituality.
The Gene Keys and your DNA
First I must give credit to Richard Rudd, author of the Gene Keys. I was drawn to his calm voice and wisdom as he explained the principles behind the keys and their connection to your DNA and consciousness. Through meditation and other sources he has outlined 64 key descriptors, each with a challenge and siddhi, or gift.
If you chose to go to his site and get your free profile you will see a dynamic lay out that provides insights as to your souls purpose. It was eerily close to my birth chart interpretation but with additional depth and tied to each human uniqueness. There have been reports that dormant DNA strands lie within the human body and are beginning to waken. Timing is everything in scientific discovering. It is my belief that society finds new energies when the consciousness is ready to meet it.
We are here for a greater purpose. Our thoughts and beliefs going forward will help to define the transitions that we must make in the coming years.
And finally…
Duality can be exhausting - we are all there at this point in history. Every once in a while genius offers its talent to show us the bigger picture. In this case I am referencing William Shakespeare and the many quotes we still summon. A historical fiction around the character of Wm. Shakespeare and his son, Hamnet, brings an emotional depth rarely shown in a movie. Hamnet ( the movie) has Oscar buzz and is interpreted with a feminine focus - his wife. Once again we have a movie centered on grief, loss, and love but also displays of the afterlife and spirit world. Women were the care takers and sometimes the healers , using the herbal kingdom and psychic insights to provide guidance. Our connection to each other is endless. Let’s unravel the strings to find that they are all but one long strand.

Quote from Hamlet
Stay strong, remain hopeful and know your presence and energy makes a difference.
