... FEBRUARY 14, 2026

Dear friends, there is a subtle yet undeniable rearranging occurring beneath the surface of ordinary life right now — a quiet shift that may not be dramatic enough to name, yet strong enough to be felt in the body, in the pauses between conversations, and in the way certain emotions rise and dissolve before they fully form. Time itself may seem to stretch in unfamiliar ways, and what once felt urgent may now feel strangely distant, as if it belonged to a previous version of you that is already beginning to soften and fade.

The days before an eclipse corridor often carry a sensation of suspension. It is not exactly calm and not exactly tension, but something in between — a threshold space where the familiar loosens its grip and the next chapter has not yet fully revealed itself. You may notice subtle detachment from old motivations, or a quiet restlessness moving through your nervous system without a clear source, as though something within you is listening for instructions that have not yet been spoken aloud.

The body senses transitions before the mind can articulate them. During these pre-corridor days, it begins reorganizing quietly, releasing certain attachments, softening long-held reactions, and reducing the emotional charge around patterns that once defined you. Conversations that previously carried intensity may now feel complete without resolution. Desires that once felt essential may appear less compelling — not because you failed them, but because you are outgrowing them.

Nothing dramatic is required in this space. There is no need to force insight or manufacture clarity. What feels like fog may simply be recalibration. What feels like stillness may actually be preparation. The field adjusts before visible change occurs, and the identity that will cross the February 17 threshold is already consolidating itself beneath conscious awareness.

Eclipse corridors do not suddenly create transformation out of nowhere; they amplify what has already begun stabilizing within you. This gentle disorientation is not confusion but compression, not loss but refinement, as your system quietly selects what is coherent enough to carry forward and what is ready to dissolve into memory.

Allow yourself to rest inside this pause without urgency,
to listen without forcing answers, and to remember that this rearrangement is not random. There is a divine intelligence embedded within your original design, quietly reorganizing what no longer reflects who you are becoming. The same sacred architecture guiding this compression will guide your movement when acceleration increases.

The threshold is near, and the version of you preparing to step through it is already forming with quiet precision. Have a beautiful weekend.
Much love 💖

WE ARE ONE ♡

Long before chocolates and roses, Valentine’s Day had a far darker beginning. The holiday traces back to Saint Valentine, a Roman priest who lived in the 3rd century under Emperor Claudius II.

According to legend, Claudius believed single men made better soldiers and banned young men from marrying. Valentine defied the order and secretly performed weddings for couples in love. When his actions were discovered, he was arrested and eventually executed on February 14, around 269 AD.

Another story claims that while imprisoned, Valentine befriended — and possibly healed — the jailer’s blind daughter. Before his death, he allegedly signed a letter to her “from your Valentine,” a phrase that may have inspired the modern tradition of love notes.
Over time, the Church honored him as a martyr. Later, medieval poets connected the date with romance and courtly love.

Eventually, the legend transformed into the celebration we know today. So behind every red rose lies a story of rebellion, sacrifice, and a love that refused to bow to power.

🌍 Turning Down the Noise

If you turned the news off... social media off... would you even know anything was happening in the world?

Most of us wouldn’t. We would wake up... drink our coffee... go to work... laugh with family... watch the sun rise and set like it always has. Life, in its simplest form, would still be unfolding right in front of us.

We were never meant to carry the emotional weight of the entire planet every single day. Our nervous systems were designed for real life... real people... real communities... not a constant stream of fear and outrage.

Staying aware has value... but being overwhelmed helps no one. A peaceful mind builds. A grounded heart connects. A clear soul creates.

Maybe the real question isn’t what’s happening out there... but what’s happening right here in our own lives.

And no... it wouldn’t be so bad to remember that.

⚜️ The Root of Abandonment ⚜️

Abandonment doesn’t begin when someone leaves.
It begins the first time you leave yourself.
As children, we are wired for connection; we depend on caregivers for safety, love, and belonging. When those needs are unmet, our nervous system makes a painful trade: authenticity for attachment.

If love only came when you were quiet, good, strong, or useful, you learned to exile parts of your Self.
If anger, sadness, or joy were punished, you learned to silence them.
And if your needs went unmet long enough, you learned to stop needing at all.
This is how abandonment begins: not as a single event, but as a pattern of inner exile. You abandoned yourself so others wouldn’t abandon you.

⚜️ How It Shows Up in Adulthood

Unhealed abandonment weaves itself into every corner of adult life. It’s not always obvious; it hides behind habits that seem normal.

1. Hypervigilance
You scan for danger in every relationship: a tone change, a delayed text, a sigh. Your nervous system doesn’t distinguish between now and then. It believes rejection is coming, so it prepares for war.

2. People-Pleasing and Over-Giving
You keep earning what should have been freely given. You call it love, but it’s survival, a desperate attempt to prevent loss.

3. Avoidance and Emotional Withdrawal
You fear the same closeness you crave. You disappear before someone can see your need. You confuse distance with safety.

4. Obsession and Control
You fixate on others: their moods, attention, silence, because focusing on them distracts you from your own pain. It’s not love; it’s self-abandonment disguised as care.

5. Chronic Shame
You feel defective for wanting too much or being too sensitive. Every unmet need from childhood becomes proof that you were the problem. Shame keeps you loyal to your wound.

These patterns are not character flaws; they are adaptations. They were once brilliant strategies to keep you safe. But now they stand between you and wholeness.

⚜️ The Path to Integration

Healing abandonment is not about making sure no one ever leaves.
It’s about refusing to abandon yourself again.
Integration is the slow, sacred work of reuniting with the parts you left behind, the child who felt invisible, the teenager who shut down, the adult who performs to survive.

Here’s where to begin:

1. Awareness: Name the Pattern

Start noticing when you leave yourself. Do you change your tone to keep the peace? Stay silent to avoid conflict? Obsess over others instead of tending to your own sensations? Each moment of awareness is a homecoming.

2. Sensation Over Story
When the wound activates, don’t spiral into why. Drop the story and feel the body. Tight chest, hollow stomach, trembling hands; this is where your Self is speaking. Presence with sensation heals what thinking cannot.

3. Re-parenting: The Inner Bond
Your abandoned child doesn’t need logic; they need presence. When fear rises, close your eyes and whisper inwardly:

“I’m here now. I won’t leave you again.”

This small act of self-love rewires the nervous system over time.

4. Boundaries as Self-Love
Setting boundaries isn’t rejection; it’s reunion. Each time you say no when you mean no, you strengthen the bond between your adult Self and your inner child.

5. Practice Staying
The next time you want to run, hide, or numb, pause. Take one conscious breath. The courage to stay in your body, even for a moment, begins the cycle of return.

⚜️ Coming Home

Healing abandonment is not the end of your story; it’s the return to your beginning.
The parts you left behind are not broken; they are waiting.
Each time you stay, each time you breathe through fear, you take another step Home.
Your abandoned parts whisper: “Please stay.”

And when you do, the Self answers, “Worthy.”

We are witnessing the closure of an almost 30-year cycle and the start of a new era, as Saturn completes its journey through the entire zodiac and arrives back at the beginning. This monumental transition clears the karma of the past 3 decades and rewards the hard work, challenges, and integrity you have maintained throughout this long journey.

Saturn enters Aries on February 13 and remains until April 12, 2028, and this movement marks a definitive shift away from the confusing and foggy sensations of the last few years in Pisces.

You have survived a long period where your emotions felt as though they were dissolving into a vast and endless sea that lacked any clear direction or solid ground. This chapter forced you to deal with invisible pressures and spiritual lessons that often left you feeling exhausted and disconnected from your own internal reality.

You likely spent months questioning your direction or wondering if you would ever feel the spark of motivation again while navigating a landscape of collective transition and personal uncertainty.

The lessons of the previous years were designed to teach you about the nature of sacrifice and the necessity of spiritual surrender before you could reach this higher frequency. You learned how to find your way through the darkness without a map while dealing with the closing of a major karmic chapter that spanned several decades of your soul history.

This cycle was about cleaning the slate and forgiving the past so that you could move forward without the weight of old debts or regrets holding you back from your true potential. You discovered that true strength comes from being able to sit with your own vulnerability and understanding that some things must be released to the Universe to make room for your rebirth.

The arrival of the sixth planet from the sun at the very first degree of the entire zodiac signals a total rebirth of your internal structure and your external life. Saturn is the slowest moving planet that we can observe with the naked eye and its transition into the sign of the ram brings a sharp and immediate heat to your daily experience.

You will notice that the passive energy of the past is being replaced by a sudden and urgent need to take control of your own path and your own success. This change creates a new frequency in your life that asks you to stop waiting for signs and start making decisions based on your own internal truth and your highest visions.

To understand the gravity of this moment, reflect back on the years between April 7 of 1996 and February 28 of 1999 when this planet last traveled through the sign of the ram. During that period you likely experienced major beginnings or endings that forced you to stand on your own two feet for the first time or claim your independence.

You can look at the themes of that era to see how much you have learned and how your approach to personal authority has matured over the last thirty years. The return of this energy brings back similar questions about your courage and your ability to lead your own life without relying on the permission or validation of others.

The cardinal signs of Aries and Libra and Cancer and Capricorn are being ignited with a divine fire to finally step into their roles as the absolute leaders of their own destiny. You are moving out of the waiting room and into the arena where your personal authority becomes your greatest asset and your most powerful tool. This transit demands that you stop asking for permission and start giving yourself the green light to build the massive life you have been envisioning in your private thoughts. You will feel an incredible surge of momentum as you realize that you are the architect and the builder and the master of every foundation you choose to lay down now.

The fixed signs of Ta**us and Leo and Scorpio and Aquarius are being called to upgrade their legendary stamina into a focused laser beam of productive and unstoppable energy. You are learning that your ability to stay the course is now being supercharged with a new level of innovation and a willingness to break through old patterns of resistance. This is your moment to take your long term goals and inject them with a fresh sense of urgency and a commitment to excellence that refuses to settle for anything less than greatness. You will find that your internal drive has become a reliable engine that powers you through every challenge with a sense of certainty and absolute victory.

The mutable signs of Gemini and Virgo and Sagittarius and Pisces are finally stepping out of the mental fog and into a reality that is crisp, clear, and filled with potential. You have spent years processing deep emotions and now you are being given the clarity to translate that wisdom into tangible results and solid structures. The scattered energy of the past is replaced by a sharp focus that allows you to organize your life with precision and move toward your goals with a light and confident heart. You will feel a profound sense of relief as you realize that you finally have the direction and the exact tools you need to manifest your highest dreams.

For all placements, communication during the first stage of this new era becomes a tool for absolute honesty and the setting of firm boundaries that no longer require explanation or apology. You will find that you no longer have the patience for people who speak in circles or attempt to manipulate your emotions through vague and confusing language or hidden agendas.

The connections that remain in your life will be those built on a foundation of mutual respect and a shared understanding of the value of your time and energy. You sense a new strength in your voice as you begin to state your requirements and your expectations with a directness that defines your new standards.

This shift brings your biggest goals down to earth. You are moving from the world of "someday" into a reality where your results depend on your willpower and the work you put in every day. Dreaming is no longer enough; your visions only gain power when they are backed by dedicated action and a commitment to making them real.

This window offers you a glimpse into a version of yourself that is no longer distracted by the opinions or the expectations of the external world around you. You will find that the exhaustion you carried for so long has been replaced by a fierce and unrelenting drive to claim the territory and the rewards that belong to you.

As this new cycle begins you will sense a tightening in the atmosphere that signals the arrival of a force requiring total accountability and an end to all forms of procrastination. Saturn is the lord of karma and this transit brings the closing of one chapter and the arrival of abundant rewards for those who have remained disciplined.

You will see that the hard work you put in during the difficult years is finally being repaid through prosperous opportunities and the manifestation of your deepest and most serious dreams. Those who are willing to put in the work and push through the obstacles will find themselves abundantly and divinely rewarded in ways that far exceed their previous visions.

Your internal compass registers this shift as a need for movement and a desire to test the limits of your own endurance and your internal strength and your willpower. You will notice that your intuition has become a loud and persistent guide that refuses to let you ignore the truths that you have previously tried to hide from your own mind.

The feeling of being stuck is replaced by a sense of momentum that pushes you to move forward with a level of confidence that feels both new and ancient. You understand that the Universe is no longer asking for your permission to change because the transformation is already happening within your very spirit and your daily thoughts.

The karmic debt of the past three decades is being settled in full as the planet of justice enters the gateway of the first sign of the zodiac wheel. You will experience the sudden arrival of long awaited breakthroughs that prove your dedication to your higher path was never in vain or forgotten by the Universe.

This is the moment where the spiritual warrior within you awakens to claim the position that has been prepared in the fires of your personal trials and triumphs. You are standing on the threshold of a new existence where your dreams are no longer fantasies but the blueprint for a legacy that will stand the test of time.

Most people aren't jealous of things you have or even the way you look. It's always the Energy. Your Aura. Your Electricity. The Vibe you emit.
It shakes them up and awakens dormant frequencies that remind them they can be better but choose not to.
You got them shook; keep going.

Ever walk into a room and feel like everyone is staring at you, not because of what you wear or look like, but because of your energy?
That’s the power of your vibe, your aura, and your inner light.
It’s not about the material things you possess or how perfect your life may seem.
It’s about the electricity you bring into every space—an energy that’s impossible to ignore.

When you shine brightly, you don’t just stand out; you shake people up.
You remind them of the power they hold within themselves, and sometimes that can be a little unsettling for them.

But here’s the thing: that reaction isn’t a reflection of you, but of them.
It’s a mirror, showing them what they could be if they chose to step into their power.
Sometimes, your light might make others uncomfortable because it highlights the areas where they are playing small.
But that’s not your burden to carry.
Your only job is to keep shining, move forward, and be the amazing, powerful person you are.

So, when you feel that energy around you—whether it’s admiration or unease—know that it’s a sign you’re on the right path.
You’re vibrating at a higher frequency, and not everyone is ready to join you there.
But that’s okay. Keep going. Keep growing.
Your energy is a gift, and those who are ready for it will be inspired, not intimidated.
Stay true to yourself, and let your light shine brighter every day.

Ever wondered if the Methylene Blue you get from Amazon or any other store is legit? 🤔 Or if it’s actually formulated at the consistency and or dilution rate it says in the bottle?? 💧

Yeah me too 😒 🤔 🤷🏼‍♀️

Which is why I make my own. 😌😙 🙌🏻

I get the pure powder from CZTL in London and infuse/dilute it myself here at the shop. 🏡

My Methylene Blue comes in a 1oz amber glass dropper at a 1% dilution.
1drop = .5mg. 💧
A “standard dose” is considered 4mg or 8 drops. 💧💧 💦 💦
MB needs to be taken in moderation, for example 5 days on and 2 days off, or every other day etc.

It Should not be taken with alcohol especially in excess as it can overly tax the liver. It does blend excellent with coffee or chai tea which is my personal preference. ☕️ 💧

For those of you who will ask “what all is this good for?” … I will copy and paste a previous post in the comments below that has a bunch of information on the subject.

I will also leave my website link in the comments below ⬇️

Methylene Blue is $33
Each 1oz dropper contains 600 drops.

Available online, at my markets and porch pick up in Kingsland at my shop.

March 6th is the next day my shop will be open. 🏡

Much Love ~Steph💙
