Resourcing your body through the first Eclipse Season of 2026
Health Astrology and Resourcing insights
Eclipses are not our first rodeo. They are windows of change that we move through collectively and individually every 6 months. Our ancestors looked upon eclipses as an evolutionary moment for transformation and healing, and a window of time where the veils between the worlds are thin.
They often reveal things that are hidden, energies we need to let go, patterns, relationships and environments that don’t serve our higher purpose. Think of these times as an accelerated cleanse you ordered for that’s in alignment with your soul’s destiny. Whether you like it or not, you have to move through it. Eclipses often carry an undertone of cataclysm underneath them, but I don’t subscribe to that thinking (maybe it’s the mutable energy in me).
I feel that whether things unfold subtly or not-so-subtly, we are all always unconsciously prepared to handle that change in many ways we might not realise.
In my own recent experience with the Pisces Eclipse on September 7th 2025, I was prepared to expect change in the realm of my career and public life as Pisces governs my 10th house. But I instead ended up in the hospital with a severe kidney stone rupture crisis that completely changed how I viewed life. That pain unearthed something primal and real in me, and it brought all the things to the surface on how I wished to be seen. A part of me did not want people to see my suffering, a part of me did not want to stop working because of the thought of “who will take care of me”. I had so much shame around being an immigrant and needing to depend on people who are not family. But life has its funny way to make you realise that sometimes you have no choice but to ask for help. And as a recovering hyper-independendant woman, I had to be open to wholeheartedly receiving from my community. And let me tell you, it was in the moment I learnt what true receivership and being seen in your vulnerability actually meant. For someone who grew up in a culture where performance, overgiving, overworking, to remain tough were emotionally ingrained into cells, this experience felt like those deep-seated fears were washed away by the Piscean waters once and for all, once I surrendered. And what was interesting from a metaphysical perspective was that the kidneys are connected to ancestral fears, especially the fears we carry in our root centre. The root represents the root of life, and when you give away your energy to people, places and environments that don’t honour your true essence, you end up wasting and suppressing that energy. And from a human design perspective, as someone who has a heavily defined root and carries the channel of struggle, this experience mutated me to let go of the suffering that I was unconsciously creating for myself. Now, how was that for an eclipse season lesson in the 10th house?
The reason why I wanted to share this is that, even though I was aware and I had the knowledge, I could not foresee how things exactly would play out. That said, I had greater reverence for what my body showed me, and even through those difficult moments, I was so held, supported and unconditionally loved by the people around me and that in itself was a miracle in motion.
So yes, we will get through eclipse season exactly as our soul desires to. But first lets’s look at what is in store for the first eclipse season of 2026 and what energetic themes are at play.
1st eclipse of the season
Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, February 17th 2026
We are beginning this eclipse season with the prelude to what themes are unfolding when the nodes move into Aquarius and Leo. This Solar eclipse in Aquarius will initiate the two-year cycle on how we balance our individual essence while belonging within our community. This upcoming nodal shift invites a loosening of the bonds with heavy tribal structures we have been tied to places where we may have unconsciously lost ourselves, sacrificing our creative essence, vitality, and inner joy along the way.
Aquarius themes include community, hope and dreams, friendship, liberation, innovation, technology, eccentric visionary, futuristic, collective good and collective contribution. And in the body, Aquarius governs the pathways of circulation, nervous system, mitochondria, meridian systems, biorhythms, and the lower legs, calves and ankles, expressing its warm, moist and electric air nature through patterns of energetic flow. Throughout this Aquarius season, we have been getting insights into how our body is feeling with all the collective changes that are happening. If anything, we have learnt that we are not all designed to process things in the same way. We are not meant to revolutionise in the same way. We are learning what our individual capacities are and how we want to show up truthfully to calibrate this change.
What we can expect with this Solar Eclipse in Aquarius:
There is an invitation to plant new seeds in the area of life ruled by Aquarius, but this might be in relationship to what changes are unfolding collectively within systems ruled by Aquarius; this could be within the technological, political, nonprofit, community, tribe and friendship sectors. With the rulers of Aquarius -Uranus, who’s currently in the final degrees of Taurus, and this eclipse squares it, which can create friction within the Taurean themes, which include resources, finances, investments, possessions, self-worth, values, our innate talents and gifts. The co-ruler of Aquarius, Saturn, will enter Aries; he will be forming the most-awaited conjunction with Neptune in Aries just days after this eclipse, on February 20th (will share in depth about this in a separate article). So there is a massive undertone of dismantling, structural rebirth and initiation with this season.
Resourcing yourself during this solar eclipse in Aquarius:
We can expect this eclipse to usher in a new template of light photons through the nervous system. As this unfolds, it is important to focus on circulation and grounding so the body can integrate these energetic shifts. Those with cardiovascular conditions, blood pressure concerns, or blood deficiencies may need to take extra care during this time.
Incorporate rituals that deeply relax and regulate your nervous system. Aquarius, as an air sign, resonates with music, sound frequencies, sound bath immersions, and conscious breathwork. Move your body gently and at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.
There may also be shifts in electromagnetic frequencies, so consider limiting technology use where possible and prioritising time grounding in nature. Allow the visions that arise to move through you, put pen to paper and journal your thoughts as they emerge.
Prepare your body with supportive resources such as magnesium, B vitamins, omega-3s, antioxidants, and flower essences. If you feel unable to hold yourself through this process alone, seek support. Lean into your community, your soul family, and the mentors or teachers who help guide your path. This is true Aquarian medicine. They are here to support your integration and embodiment during this time.
2nd Eclipse of the Season:
Lunar Eclipse in Virgo 3rd March 2026
We have been receiving lessons in the Virgo-ruled area of life since January 11th, 2025, and now we are graduating with a deeper internal wisdom, one that ideally feels aligned with who we are becoming. Virgo themes include health, healing, hospitals, pets, daily habits, work life, and being of meaningful service to the world.
Many people, myself included, have moved through profound initiations in the realm of health during the Pisces–Virgo nodal cycle. At its core, this journey has been about letting go and transmuting what no longer supports our well-being. We are releasing energetic imprints carried within the digestive system and enteric nervous system, the spleen and the gut–brain axis.
What we can expect with the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo:
Patterns coming up for clearing may include self-criticism, overthinking, analysis paralysis, unhealthy perfectionism, obsession with productivity or “being healthy,” rigid control over outcomes, lack of energetic alignment, excessive worry or anxiety, getting lost in details, and emotional projection. This eclipse offers a necessary clearing, an invitation to return to a more Earth-aligned, synergistic way of living. Through this process, we begin to understand what true embodiment means, reviewing our physical landscape, honouring our individual thresholds, and realigning how we move through our day-to-day lives.
With Mercury, the ruler of this eclipse, moving retrograde, many of these shifts may be felt internally within the waters of the body and the subconscious mind. This is a time to create space for deep inner processing, intuitive review, and gentle reflection on what we wish to carry forward on our journey.
Resourcing yourself during this Virgo Lunar Eclipse:
This is a great time get blood work done and have a review with your doctor. Don’t postpone important medical reviews. Schedule sessions that support nervous system regulation with your healer/coach. Avoid overburdening your digestive system; eat lightly, choose grounding, nourishing foods and stay well hydrated. Incorporate earth-based medicine such as herbal remedies (after consulting a practitioner) and flower essences. Adjust your daily routine so it aligns with your energy type and natural rhythm. This eclipse can bring up a lot of emotions, and it can feel confusing, and that’s okay, feel what you need to feel and surrender and immerse yourself in simple rituals that cultivate a sense of faith, presence and love.
Eclipses are an invitation to trust the process. You may have heard this many times, but true clarity often only arrives once we’ve moved fully through the portal. Confusion during this time isn’t always a lack of knowing; sometimes it’s a sign that we haven’t yet faced ourselves with complete honesty.
Think of eclipses as a sacred threshold where the universe holds a mirror before you, asking: What do you truly want? What are you ready to carry forward? And what are you finally willing to release?
I hope this eclipse season brings the exact medicine your body and soul need.
Much love,
Divya
