January 2026: The Trial of the Old Guard
The year begins with a seismic shift in the balance of power. Specifically, on January 11, Transiting Pluto trines the Radix South Node. In the language of the stars, this signifies a profound change in control. For the European Union, this means letting go of “like-minded people.” It involves releasing strategic partners who are currently seeking their own independence. This is the “Release.” It is the moment where the Union realizes that true leadership may requires standing alone. Therefore, it must learn to rely on its own judgments.
However, this independence is born from necessity rather than choice. By mid-January, the Directed Midheaven opposes Radix Pluto. This aspect reveals an unsafe and uncertain situation in society. The EU sees that its public display of security is being challenged by internal conflicts. Furthermore, destructive power struggles are coming to the surface. On January 17, Directed Chiron conjuncts the Radix Ascendant. This can be a painful moment of recovering pain in one’s own identity and cooperation. The EU is learning to be a leader by being faithful and loyal to its own vision.
The EU Quest:
January asks you where you are still clinging to partners or alliances that no longer serve your growth. Like the EU, you might feel the sting of an unsafe environment. Nevertheless, this is merely the pressure needed to forge your new identity.

Yet, the population remains restless. The Progressed Moon square Radix Jupiter on February 13 shows that efforts to restore communication is exciting or finding solutions are creating tensions. There is a clear preference to work together, but some of the collective does not yet appreciate these efforts. Furthermore, the Directed Ascendant sextile Radix Mercury suggests that the work of structuring new solutions with technical specialisms is providing opportunities for the EU.
The EU Quest:
This month, you must remain true to your vision even when those around you do not see the effect of your efforts. You are the healer of your own story. Therefore, use your wounds as your greatest leadership tools.
