2026 Collective Energy Map
A Gift from the Visible Cosmos
This year looks to be a powerful catalyst for an empowering transformation for mankind should you choose to use the energy with that intention.
The following energy map discusses the placements of the outer collective luminaries, Neptune, Pluto, Uranus and Chiron, the balancing act of the Moon’s nodes and the fast mover retrogrades of Mercury and Venus for this year. I highlight which Gene Keys are activated by each of these luminaries to give you an idea of the collective shadows that are being invited to transmute into gifts.
Know that to work on yourself is to work on the collective. It is always an inside job. Also know that you will likely oscillate between the shadow and gift experiences of each of the energies discussed. It is all a golden link in the chain of your good. It is all meant to serve mankind and bring us back to our divine selves. The Winter Solstice, which in my thinking commences the new year, was very near the latest new moon and looking at my moonthly article on that will shed further light on the intentions you can set now for the year ahead.
Neptune in Pisces
Our Spiritual Flow or What We Cannot Control
Spring of 2026 to Spring of 2028
Activating the 55th Gene Key
The Dragonfly’s DreamShadow: Victimization
Repressive Nature: Complaining
Reactive Nature: Blaming
Gift: Freedom
The Collective Shadow Experience
Experienced as victims to the storm, getting swept away by the current or tossed by the waves by either complaining or blaming.
The Collective Gift Experience
Mankind taking responsibility for what can be controlled, individual choice. Your thoughts impress instruction to the divine flow through what is imaged by your thoughts. As mankind takes responsibility for his or her imaginative faculty and begins to only produce images of perfect health, abundant wealth, and all this is desired to express oneself, while simultaneously trusting and surrendering to the flow, it will become apparent that our collective thought directs the flow and in fact controls what we believed we could not.
